Boot and shoe manufacture is carried
on largely in the United States, there
being more than 5000 factories, i 900 of

The expectation from England Of rail-
way carriages for passengers seem to be
greatly on the increase. Whilst the
value in eight months Of last year was

months was ESQ 600.
An official document states that last
year there were at large in London 1853
persons known to be thieves. There

Tea cultivation in India seems to in.
crease satisfactorily, and promises to re-

crop yielded last year, from the 1922
acres under bearing, was 43S,655 pounds
of black and green tea. The average of
eight of the most successful gardens was

The GOSisn.

The goslin is the old goose's young
child. They are yeller all over, and az
soft az ball of worsted. Their foot is
woye whole, and they kan swim az eazy
az drop Of kaster oil on the water.
They are born annually about the 18th
of May, and never wuz known tew die
naturally.
II man should tell me lie had saw a
goose die natural and square deth, l
wouldn'nt believe him under oath after
that, not even if he swore he had lied
about seeing goose die.
The goose are different in one respect
from the human family, who are said to
grow weaker but wiser; wheraz goose
always grows tuffer and more phoolish.
1 have seen goose that wuz sed wuz
ninety three years old last June, and he
didn't look an hour older than one that
wuz II.
The goslin wa.ldles when he walks, land
paddles when he swims, but never dives,
like duk, out ov sight in the water, but
only changes ends.
The food of the goslin is rye, corn,
oats and barley, sweet apples, ,hasty pud-
ding and billed kabbage, hooked potatoes,
raw meat and turnips, stale bred, kold
hash and the buckwheat cakes that are
lief; over
They amt SO partiklar az some pholks
what they eat, and won't get mad and
quit il they can't have wet toast and lam
chops every morning for breakfast.
If wuz goin to keep boarders, l
would not want any better feeders than
an old she goose and II goslins, If l
couldn't suit them, should konklude
had mistaken my calling.
Roast gosin is good nourishment,if
you kin git enough of it but there amt
much waste meat on a goslin, after you
have got rid of their feathers and dug
out their inside.
| hav alwus noticed when you pass
vure plate up for some more baked gos
lin at hotel, the colored brother Gums
back with an empty plate, and tells :
"Mister, the roast goslin is no more" y

Instantly the little boys hand is grasped,

consciousness of his fathers presence,
he falls to sleep again. In the same
spirit of child-lile trust, the Christian
may stretch out his hand toward his
heavenly Father, and find peace.

RThe iron rails first used upon
English railroads stood from fifteen TO
twenty years, even under the enormous
traffic; no such rails are now made, un
less of steel. In 1910 it was estimated
upon the London and Northwestern
Railway that the passage Of $4,000
trains would wear out a 20 pound rail
With the present material put into rails,
no such service is obtained. Mr. Price
Williams states thatthe best quality of
rails, as now made, will not stand the
passage of over 100000 trains. The
difficulty does not seem to be so much
in the impossibility of making good
and serviceable iron rails as in the fact
that few are made, In this. respect, the
same facts hold good, as has been fre
quently referred to in the manufacture,
during late years, of nearly all classes
of iron work. re- ~
