Religion I'm the German Army.

SOME statistics are. given in the
RevNe MilitGire TEtfGnger showing
the curious difference which exists in
the Prussian army in the composition
of the body of officers and of the rank
and file with regard to religious
persuasion. When the last census was
taken, the Kingdom of Prussia had q
population of %, 742, 404 souls, and of
these 254.O89 were actually serving at
the time in the army. OF this number
again, 1854 officers, 682 military
surgeons, 1866 military officials, and
164, O62 non-c0mmissioned officers and
men were Lutherans or Professionals of
some denomination or other; $50 Off
GERS, $50 army surgeons, SIG military
officials, and 76, 286 n0n-c0mmiSsioned
officers and men were Roman Catholics
or Old Catholics the number of this
latter, however being very small indeed
seventeen army surgeons. two
military officials. and 1906 nom
commissioned officers and men were
Jews; while ten officers, one army
surgeon, and 229 non-commissioned
officers belonged to other religions or
professed no religion at all. It APP
pears, therefore, that while of the 9.484
officers actively employed in the Prus-
sian army on the day on which the
census was taken more than 80 per
cent. were Professionals, less than 20 per
cent. of the 241, 500 nOn-commissioned
officers and men were Of that religion.
From other details given it appears that
the greatest number of officers come
from the Province Of Brandenburg,
which supplies 2,629 officers; Silesia,
1.O75 officers, and the Rhenish Prov
inces 1,O71 officers; but that with
regard to religions the order is i'm
verted-2O7 Roman Catholic officers
coming from the Rhenish Provinces,
!66 from from Brandenburg, and 1877
from Silesia; while the smallest pro-
portion of Roman Catholic officers
exists among those coming from Pom
erania. which supplies twenty; Sles-
wick Holstein, which supplies thirty
three; and Sax0ny, which furnishes
thirty-eight. Pull Nall GGxefte.

The Profits Of Geese Raising.

GEESE are profitable birds for the
poultryman who has ample space to
give them in which they can satisfy
their roaming instincts unrestrained by
the necessary limitations of a city
poultry-yard. The universal improve
ment which has resulted from the efforts
of jealous fanciers in the past few
years has extended itself to all classes
of feathered stock and included the
various varieties of geese, of which
the kmOden and Toulouse are the best
known. This improvement is shown
not in an increased egg production
(for no one has succeeded in changing
the natural habit of the goose in this
particular in as great degree as has
been done with fowls), but in the in
creased size of the mature birds. Al
most all varieties of geese are good
sitters and need only the most oriina-
ry precautions in setting them to in
sure favorable results. After laying
out their batch of about dozen eggs
they feather their nest in a manner al
most identical with that employed by
their wild congeners, and at once COM
mence the duties of incubation. After
a few weeks trial the eggs may be
given the sitter, and little care is
needed for the next month, during
which she will sit quietly, provided she
is not too much annoyed and inter-
fered with. At the end of a month
the goslings will appear in good shape
to begin life on their own account. For
the first day or SO they require only the
same diet of boiled eggs and bread
crumbs as chicks of any domestic fowl
receive, with. perhaps, the addition of
little tender grass, cut fine, on the
second day. In the course of few
days they will become strong enough
to commence investigations of the near
neighborhood, and may be transferred
from the nest to q coop Slated up SO
that the old goose will be confined,
while the openings between the Stats
will permit the gOslings to pass in and
out freely. When the goslings appear
to have gained sufficient strength for
longer expeditions, the mother may
be given her liberty, when she will
lead her flock all over the pastures and
may be trusted to care for them unas-
sisted by her owner. Geese left at
large in this way will thrive and grow
fat simply on what they can pick up
suited to their taste on almost any UNI
cultivated meadow. Grass and various
wild plants furnish their staple food
from April to November, at which
time the young are ready for market.
Geese frequently attain great age, and
birds of forty are by no means unheartl
of. while recent report mentions a
venerable specimen Of sixty years. A
goose at least forty years old and still
yearly laying her clutch of eggs and
bringing forth fine brood of gOslings
is mentioned in a recent work. and
youngsters of twenty are by no means
rare. Geese raising can hardly fail to
be profitable to any one having the
proper facilities for their culture, for
their expenses for food are almost NIL,
while the profit from the birds weigh
ing forty or fifty pounds to the pair is
by no means incOnsiderable, and live
geese feathers will always be in demand.

THE TWO TRAVELLERS.

ehange. IN any edit on of his published works:
Twas evening. and before my eyes
here lay a landscape gray and dim:

And clouds that hid the horizon . brim.
S.w-or was it that 1 drcamed?-
waking dream ?-IcAnnOt eay;
For every shape n real seemed
AS those that meet my eye to-day.
Through leafess shrubs the cold wind Missed
The air was thick with falling snow;
And onward through the frozen mist,
1 saw weary traveller 60.
Driven DER that Landscape bare and bleak.
Before the whirling gusts of air.
The snow-tiakes smote his withered cheek
And gathered on his silver hair.
Yet on he Jared through binding SHOWS,
And murmuring to himself he said:
The night is near, the darkness grows,
And higher rise the drifts tread.
" Deep deep each Autumn flower they hide;
Each tuft of green they whelm from sight;
And they who journeyed by my side
Are lost in the surrounding night.

II The love that for my, friends bore;
We parted with the sad farewell
Of those who Part to meet NO more.
And l, who face this bitter wind,
And DER these snowy hillOcks creep,
Must end my journey sOOn and 6nd
frosty couch. a frozen Sleep"
As thus he spoke. a thrill of pain
Shot to my heart: closed my eyes,
And when opened them again
started with glad surprise.
Twas evening still. and in the west
flush of glowing crimson lay,
saw the morrow there and blest
That promise of a glorious day.
The waters in their CLASSY sleep
Shone with the hucs that tinged the sky.
And rugged cliff and barren steep
Cleaned with a brig htness from on high.
And one was there whose journey lay
Into the slowly gathering night:
With steady step he held his way
Der shadOwy vale and cleaning height;
marked his firm though weary tread.
And saw no shade of doubt or dread
Pass . er that travellers placid mien.
And Others came. their journey Ger.
And babe 60 od-night with words of cheer:
Tomorrow we shall meet once more:

And l." he said. shall sleep ere long
These fading CLEANS will soon be gone

Of evening from the armament

that persons who blow the big horn in

dangerous. Avoid all "horns'' even

Whereupon he abandoned the helm,
and leaning over the side of the boat
he c0mmuned with Nature for several
consecutive minutes.
By dint of cutting away every rope that
seemed to hold anything, the three
young men managed to get the sal!
down. They then got out the oars,
and after one hour of hard labor, dur
ing which MIR. Withers lay in the bot
tom of the boat, tormented by his con-
science and his stomach, they managed
to reach cove q mile or SO west OF
Sandy Hook. The boat was made fast,
md the entire party set out on foot for
the Shrewsbury River leaving Mr..
Withers q physical and mental wreck
behind them. How and when he
reached the city no one knows. but it is
certain that he has since returned to
business, and that he carefully shuns
all his old acquaintance to whom he
once used to boast Of his pretended sea-
.manship.
This teaches us that it is always wise
to be honest, If thereby we can avoid
getting into difficulties with unaccus-
toned sail-boats.- N. T. Times.
