A regimental pet or a company "mas
cot" plays a worthy and wholesome
part In army service. It provides an
object on which tbe soldier can ex
pend affection and personal enre, and
binds the men In a common Interest
In tbe long list of tbe various anl
inals devoted to tbe camp and barrack's,
"Iionald," the deer, holds a gallant
place. Archibald Forbea gives his his
tory In "Tbe black Watch."
Iionald was adopted by tbe Royal
Highlanders when they were ordered
to Edinburgh Castle In 185U He was
a youngster with tiny antlers, which
did not hare to be cut then, as they
were later.
When the regiment went to Glasgow,
Donald marched with them. Boon he
began to develop mischievous propen
si ties. He objected strongly to In
truder when the company was exer
cising on Glasgow Oreen.
In 1838 iKinald discovered his true
role. Without any previous training
he took bis place at the head of the
reglmout alongside of the sergeant
major. Whether marching for exer
cise, out-marching In winter, or at
guard mounting, Donald was never ab
sent He accompanied tbe rcgliuwnt
on all garrison field-days, roaming off
to feed while the maneuvers were
going on; wandering sometime a mile
away, but always back at hi pot In
time for the march, except on oue oc
casion.
II mistook his regiment and trotted
along ahead of tbe 7!th. He presently
discovered hi error, aud became un
easy ana arrogant When the Com
pany turned off to their barracks Don
ald refused to accompany them, and
the colonel ordered six men to baud
their muskets over to their comrades,
and to escort the deer back to his own
Itoyal Brigade, lie never made s sim
ilar mistake.
When tbe regiment was on guard
duty at the castle Donald always went
with It, making bis way easily through
tbe crowd In the streets. If any one
Interfered with him he gave chase.
Oue sad day Donald's regiment went
abroad, and the deer was handed over
to a new company. These successors
did not understand blm. Tbey did not
give him litter for bis bed or onts for
his dinner, and he soon declared war
against the whole regiment A bri
gade trooper hardly dured cross the
square If Donald was In sight At
last he became so Ill-tempered It was
decided to turn blm loose In a park,
His lordship who owned the estate
promised to look well after Donald's
comfort
Twenty-two years later the lleuten
ant-colonel of Donald's old regiment
returned to Glasgow, and oue of the
first things he did wus to Inquire after
the company's deer. Tbe story whlcU
was told him was a melancholy one.
From the day ho was set free In thu
park he declined to have anything to
do with man or beast Ila became so
fierce, and so many complaints were
entered against blm, that at the end
of two years be was shot

WILD MUSTARD AND CRESS.
Panaaat Plaata of Woodlanda and
Meadow In Sprloa-tlma.
Nature's vegetable antidote for
spring fever Is the mustard tribe, which
plays an Important role In the spring
bora and furnishes a tonic to systems
wearied with the monotony of winter
fare. To this fiery family belongs the
first spring blossom of our middle
States tbe little whitlow grass whose
tiny white flowers speckle the brown
turf of old fields In March.
Better known to the average coun
try rambler Is that companion of the
bcpatlca In rich woods the pepper
root, whose drooping white or rose-
colored bells are among the loveliest of
all our early spring flowers. This plant
has a tuberous, creeping root, contract
ed at Intervals so as somewhat to re
semble a short necklnce.
The peppery quality of the root
which Is tender and delicate like a
young radish, gives to the plant Its
common name, and no spring picnic in
the backwoods Is complete without Its
salad of fresh pulled pepjier root One
species found In mountainous districts
has knotted root stocks a foot long anu
Is sometimes cnlled crinkle root
Another of the wild mustard tribe
with beautiful flowers Is tbe bitter
cross, of which several species are na
tive to our wet meadows snd brooks.
The commonest blooms from April to
June. Its clusters of lsrge, white four-
petaled blossoms making lrreslstiuie
pisles sbout cool springs and along
Held runnels.
Tbe European cuckoo flower Is a
species of bitter cress, but wblle In
digenous to som northern States is
rather rare. Its snowy flowers, like
miniature white smocks hung out to
blesch as was the annual spring cus
tom among rustic maids of Shakes
peare's day are responsible for the
nsme of "lady's smock." by which the
plant goe ln ol1 English lltersture.
The familiar pepper grass plucked
for canaries Is a wild mustard, too.
and Is nibbling not to be despised by
the human lover of pungency. 80,

to Gray, enjoys tbe distinction or Do
