A GoosE's FfdHr WITH A f,ULLa--A heavy
tbroated bill near this village noted for his
fierceness, accidentally stepped Cd brood Of
goslings recently which stately gander was
holding watch and guard ever with great So
licitude. Straightway the gander attacked
the bull, and SELLING him by the tail with his
beak, his wings Iashed the animals TANKS
with the greatest fury. In vain the built
wheeled about to reach his antagonist the
gander wheeled with him, all the while retaini
ing his hold upon the bulls tail, and shower
ing blows with Ills powerful wings with tell
ing effect Upon the bulls legs, Until lie fairly
roaIed with pain and terror: At last the ganA
der, apparently thinking that his adversary
had sufficient punishment, let 90 his hold and
the bull took to bis heels with the Iiveliost
speed, only stopping when he feached the
farther corner of the field. MiddtstosSn IN.

Coal IN AND.-Recent into the dis
tribution of coal in England and other conn
tries has proved that the stores of coal are
greater than has been supposed. The total
coal erea Of the globe is found to be 270, 200
square miles, and the total production in 1874
was 274, 1852, 900 tons. The most extensive
area is in the United States. which passes o,
1920 square miles Of deposits the produce
tion, however, was only 50000,000 tons in
1874, while Great Britain, with an area Of
1900 square miles Of deposits, produced
i25, 600, 900 tons in the years. Statistics show
that during the last twenty years there has
beeh mean annual increase IN output Of
about 100000 tons, and this rate Of calcula-
tion would give the English coal fields life
of $50 years. The additional coal consump-
ton had not, however, nearly kept pace with
the increased demand for the effects of heat,
owing to the use of economical processes ii
tho application Of fuel.

THE First WATcH.--The first watch was
about the size of a dessert-plate. 1t had
weights and was used as u pocket clock.
The earliest known Use of the modern name
occurs in the record of 1862, which mentions
that Edward vi had one lafum or watch OF
iron, the case being likewise of iron guilt,
with two plummets of lead The first
watches may readily be supposed to have been
of rude execution. The first great improves
ment, the substitution Of springs for weights,
was in 1860. The earliest springs were not
coiled, but only straight pieces Of steel.
EARLY watches had only one hand, and, being
wound up twice day, they could not be ex-
pected to keep time nearer than fifteen or
twenty minutes In the twelve hours The
dials were OF silver or brass and the cases
had no crystals, but opened at the back aud
front, and were four or five inches in diameter.
A plain watch cost the equivalent of s., GOO
in our currency, and after one was ordered 1t
took year to make 1t.

The liquor bell-punch act was certainly an
original conception in excise legislation; but
Oregon is not to be overdone by Virginia in
Legislative ingenuity. Tie genius of excise
legislation has originally expended itself in
licensed liquorsAllers but the far-seeing
Legislators Of Oregon now propose to license
consumers. Every man who Intends to drink
Intoxicating liquors viii have to pay rs for a
license, and then he can get drunk as often Al
be likes. Saloon-keepers who sell liquor t.
those who have neglected to take out licenses
will be subjected to heavy penalties.

PATH or SAFETY. Some clear-headed fell
low says that there is but one road to happi-
ness and prosperity, for either individuals or
a nation and that is faithful PERSISTENCE in
the legitimate paths of business. The riches
that come in an hour do more harm than good.
Hence we call upon all good people to Unite
in an effort to stay the tide Of wild excess.
Let man be frowned upon IN society when
he is living beyond his means. Let all noble
and true women express their disgust at the
extravagant and indecent display Of the fol-
lowers Of fashion. And so shall the nation
be saved from the milestone that has dragged
other republics to destruction or shall our
young men find larger and nobler devotion
than that of money, and modesty ard dignity
shall not wholly desert American womanhood.

The church Is not good for anything unless
It produces fruit--gentleness, forbearancs,
long-suffering, patience, kindness, love. A
man can go to hell just as easily inside a
church as out of it. The church Is good be-
cause it nourishes the internal principle that
can charge mans nature, and it is worth just
in proportion to what does. III W. Bsecher

Who GIVE THE MosT.--The poor give more
thai the rich This proposition holds good
as general principle. Money is by no means
the only thing to give in this world neither
do large gifts necessarily contribute more to
the happiness of the receiver than small gifts.
Go into any country or community and con-
verse with the people. Ask who ministers
most to their happiness You will very likely
be told of some venerated clergyman, whose
salary has never been more than enough to
support him or of some poor widow, who
goes from house to house, like ministering
angel, wherever sorrow and suffering demand
consolation or relief. 1t is astonishing how
much one without money Can give A kind
word, helping hand 1.-The warm sympathy
that fejoices with those who weep! Nd man
is so poor, no woman is so poor, as not to be
able to contribute largely to the happiness of
those around them.

How TO AvoID A BEATING. "A woman who

to know how she might cure these parexysms
of violence. The soothsayer heard her COM
plaint and, after pronouncing some hard
words and using various gestieulations while
he filed vial with mysterious mixture,
desired her, whenever her husband was in a
passion, to take mnuthful of the liquor, and
keep it in her mouth for five Minutes. The
woman, quite overjoyed at SO simple a
remedy, strictly followed the counsel which
was given her, and escaped the usual chas-

man, and anxiously begged to have q fresh

Cooperative Societies..

Ms the best field for schemes of co-opera-
ton, but it appears that they have meyer
been so successful here rs IN Great
Britrin and in some of the nations OF
continental Europe. The industrial and
provident societies OF England and
Wales transact q large volume and great
variety of business. In 1875 there were
in England and Wales 925 societies OF
this kind with 100000 members. Their
share capital was S22, 100000, and the
amount credited during the year about
Sc, 100000 The trade accounts set forth
goods paid for in the year sIO.Ooo,0oo;
cash received for goods in the year SoO-
OO0, 600; stock in trade S900O,00O. The
total expenses OF carrying on the business
of the societies were about S3,5oO.Ooo.
The dispossble net profit realized from
all sources during the year was about So
COG, 900 from which $4,000 was deduct
ed tor educational purposes, and the re.
msinder paid out in dividends. The So
cieties are wholly supported and con-
trolled bv classes of workers and small
cspItalists similar to those who form
building societies in this country. They
insure lives. provide benefits for the
SICK, carry on business like the grangers'
supplying the members with all the ne
cesssries OF life and they appropriate
each year portion of their profits to be
used for educational purposes. 1t lie
