Wild geese, under certain conditions, when caught, become quite domestic, ‘In Meeker, there are three owned at the Meeker Hotel, which ‘have been there nearly five years ; when young, and for a while after bel grown their wings were kept cli er. Afterward no attention was at to them, and they were left to take care of themselves, but they have never attempt- the town unrestrained. : The supposition usually prevails that wild geese usually build their nests in isolated streams and lakes, where they usually congregate to rear their young. Such, however, is not the case, for their nests are oftea found in the tops of trees. Quite a ‘resort for wild geese is found at the headwaters of the Yampa River, and a year ago two boys living near Bteamboat Springs found a nest on the the top of a cottonwood free. The goose was sitting on the nest, and the two boys shot her off, and then climbed up to inspect the nest. Tt con. tained quite a number of ‘eggs, and the next thing discussed was how fo gel them to the ground. First they tried dropping them, the boy on the ground holding his hat, but after breaking two, that plan was abandoned, and then the boy up in the tree thought of a novel plan that worked to perfection. He took off his boots and socks, and placing the | Iatter inside the boots to form a soft lin ing, carefully placed the within, then fastened the boots to the waistband of his trousers by loosening his suspend-. ers on either side and ing the ends through the finger-straps of the boots, and again buttoning them to the waist- band. Thus arranged he successfully ‘descended the tree. hi : The eggs, it seems, are nest to inde- structible,and will staud plenty of rough usage, In the present case the boys wei on Borsehack and rode sound all afternoon with the eggs stra) [in a coat or saddle.

By use of the ‘sand blast” tracing and etching on glass is a matter of, easy performance. ' The mode of operation is as follows: The vessel or plate of glass is covered with wax, and through this which is left exposed to a stream of fine sand thrown from the ‘‘blast.”” The friction soon wears away the hard glass surface, but does not affect the wax protection in the least. When the lace- work, flowers, leaves or whatever the design may be has been finished, the wax is removed from the polished parts and the article is ready for use. : Formerly the fumes of hydrofiuoic acid wasused for tracing designs on glass and otlier hard substances, but ow- ing to the unevenness of the result, and the uncertainty as to when the exposure thad reached the proper point, that method has been all but entirely super- seded.-by the “sand blast.” : The idea of cutting designs on glass by forcing sand against the surface of plates and vessels of that material was first suggested by one of nature's freaks, just as ‘hundreds of other inventions have been. An observing young man who was summering on the coast of New England noticed that the windstorms in that section frequently gathered up large loads of sand and hurled it with much force against exposed window frames, and that these, within a very short fime, were worn through and had to be re- placed. In places where they were pro. tected by leaves, vines, mosquito netting, etc., the glistening surface was left in- tact. He set about utilizing old nature’s hint at once, the result being a machine which does work that cannot even be imitated in any other way.—St. Louis Republic. - : : ——— I ———— Chinese Bazars.

There we al: Wo were soon tni.. Out of our berths ~®%%-and on the out look. The beat, with a full head of steam, made all possible speed to reach Pittsburg Landing. Two gunboats lay out in the stream, sending shot and shell over the heads of the Union Army in the Confederate ranks: As the boat. steamed up to the Landing, where al- ready a great fleet of steamers was ly- GE ing, the shells went screaming over our heads with deafening fury. All was in seeming contusion at the Landing. The roadways, dug out o the steep bank, were insufficient for such an emergency. In the hard fight on the day before a vast amount of am- munition had been used, and the officers all well knew that with the dawn of the coming day the battle would be renewed with desperate fury. Every teamster was, therefore, doing his utmost to get ammunition and pro- visions to the front. They would bring their mules to the steep, roadless bank, that stood at an angle of forty- five degrees, and while the driver held the lines with a strong, steady hand, ‘and set his boot heels go as to keep a standing position as he ploughed ‘his lway to the bottom, his mules put their selves on their haunches, on which the iwagon rested, and skeeted to the bot- tom with the driver. It was a wild ight. Each teamster had an assistant ‘who held a torch made of pine. Hun- ‘dreds of torches lighted up the black night. There was a clamor that can- ‘a steady stream of loaded wagons go- ing up the hill by the regular road: ways. ti ” As soon as the first rays of the morn- ing light made objects distinct, the fir- ing began. : i Both armies had rested, face to face, on their arms, and a hasty breakfast had been snatched of whatithey could get before daylight, for alltwell knew that a bloody day was before them. Our hospital boat was lying - along- gide of other steamers. ; We could hear the heavy guns, the creaming of the shells, the thunders of he battle going on near by. . As the ight increased we shivered to see the kvounded lying on bags of grain and out on the guards, and the dead who ad been carried from the boats, lying, angled and bloody, along the shore lof the river. | At first we could only ‘cover our faces with our hands in a shiver and chill of agony, in the at- tempt to hide the horrid sights of war from our eyes. But as we stood there a feeble hand was lifted, and a feeble voice called out: “Say, ladyl Can’t you bring me a drink of water?’ Immediately a hundred hands were lifted. We could scarcely see them in the faint light of the early morning, but we could hear the voices. “Bring me some water.” “Bring me something to eat.” I called out cheerily: “Yes, yes, we'll help you all we can.” It was a great relief to have some- thing to do. We went with gladness to our work, I was the pioneer and went right on to the boat lying near- est. The surgeon in charge of our boat had gone off to the field. ~ There was no one in authority left on the boat, and we took possession. I had several boxes of canned oys- ters and three or four barrels of crack- ers, but we soon exhausted these; then we began on the beef in the storeroom. Barrels of soup were made and diséri- buted. The other two ladies made the goup and I distributed it from boat to boat and from one to another. Oh, the sights snd scenes I witnessed that day! As I was carrying a bucket of soup across a gang-plank, an officer met me. He came bounding forward, with his sword clanking Ly his side. “Madam!” he said; “what are you doing? «ila : 1 was startled nearly out of my wits, but I managed to say: ed.” “Why, you ought not to do that. See here, soldier, you carry soup for this woman.” : The soldier sprang forward and took the bucket of soup from my hand, and the officer went on. I never knew who want to thank Tam for his thoughtful ness. And on, all day, I went with my assistant, while the two lady help- ers worked as fast as they possibly could to get the food ready. The distribution of the food was very rapids Men with broken legs and arms and gashed faces would hold out their tin cups or canteens to be filled. The tin cups vere easily filled, but the canteens took longer. When they saw us com ing, they would pound on the floor or the side of at, calling pi nah, eight miles Nittle front feet down, settled them- not be described in the loading up and. «I am carrying soup to the wound- he was. = If this falls under his eyes I - cscs my arm, it is so dry and hot and the wound hurts so.” Without s moment's relation 'the day passed in this kind of work. - In the afternooa the gunboats stopped firing, and tie news came that the Confederates were driven back. Oh! bow much that meant to us all, for through all that morning the boats had their full head of steam: on, so that if the army was driven to the river as many as possible could escape by that means. Now and then I would see a surgeon dressing some of the worst wounds. In every case they would pause long enough to say: . : “Thank you, lady, that is just what they want, I see you carry water, too. Drench the wounds with that.” I soon found myself dressing the wounds. My clothing was wet and muddy to my knees, but I did not see it." I had not eaten a mouthful of food since the night before, but I did not know it. I was entirely unconscious of weariness and human needs. It was about 10 o'clock at night when some one asked : “Did you have supper?’ - This little " question called me to the conscious- ness of my condition. %No,” I answered, “I have not had |’ a mouthful to eat since yesterday even- ing.” : A surgeon operating near by looked at me earnestly, and then said with a .voice of authority : “Madam, stop work immediately. | We will have you on our hands next.” I was cutting a ‘fragment of a blue bloute away from the arm of a wound- ed young soldier. I continued my work till the bits of the blouse were gotten out as far as I could see, then’ laid on a wet compress. , “Oh! thank you,” he said, with| 1, . grateful tears in his eyes, : * 1 went back to the cabin of the hos- pital boat and had my supper. After changing mv clothing I sat down on a divan, feeling almost too weak and exhausted to stir. A chaplain came on the boat inquiring for me. When he mét me he seized my hand and began to bellow. When I saw him 1 knew that he was crazy. The officers of the boat ran back to see what was the matter, and somehow the surgeon in charge managed to get him into @ state-room and lock him in and place guards at the door, and the next day he was sent up with other patients t¢ St. Louis on that boat. : Early the next morning I was trans- ferred with the little baggage I had to another boat set aside for hospital} workers. My fine dress which I had worn for the first time was wet and muddy and I pitched in into the river, Dr. Turner was placed in charge of the boat, and Dr. Grinstead was his attendant. : " The Confederates had: retreated toward Corinth, Miss., but there wae gtill firing to be heard in the distance Early in the day I went up the steep bank and out on the. battle-field. ~The wounded had been gathered up as far as I could see, but many of the dead were lying where they fell. Not far from the landing there were ‘some tents. In one of these tents a son ‘of Sam Houston, of Texas, lay on the ground with others, the gray and the blue lying together. Young Houston was severely wounded in the thigh. IT saw him many times afterwards, the last time a prisoner at Camp Douglass. | near Chicago. - ; I went toward a house on the right but before I reached it 1 saw men coming, carrying a wounded man. They had made a seat by clasping their hands, and his arms were thrown about their necks. I went forward to meet them. : “Qh, set me down by that tree. I can go no further,” he cried. They carried him as tenderly as they could, and placed him between the great roots of a very large tree. Hie breast was bare and the blood was slowly oozing out of a wound in his lungs. oo : “T am dying,” he said. “Can’t some- body pray?’ Both men were weeping. If he was not a brother he wasa friend. I answered promptiy: “I can pray.” Iknelt there on the damp ground, and taking one of hs hands in my own, I asked in simple words the Heavenly Father to forgive | and bless He responded to each peti- tion. I kept on praying till he said, “The way is light now. Ido not fear.” There was a little gasp, a shiver,and all was still. As I knelt there I. closed his eyes and said: “He is dead.” : “Yes,” they answered with a sob. “He is dead and this is all we can do. We will report the case and have his grave marked.” And we turned away and left him there. An hour afterwards I returned that way. It was a most impressive sight to gee a dead man sitting there so calmly and peacefully, with eyes closed. When I passed that way again they had tak- en him away.
