breeding Geese for Feathers.

1t is not generally known that this

ginia, but such is the fact. In that
State, especially in the western part
she watercourses are numerous, but
not navigable, and railroads are unde-
yeloped. Often fifty or sixty miles
must be travelled to reach a railroad
station, and on such localities breeding
geese for feathers is found to be very
profitable. Several pickings are made
In a. season and the crop of feathers
IS duly baled and sent to market by
wagon, which is usually at some sta
tion, where agents are ready to receive

West Virginia in order TO state that
geese may be made to prove equally as
profitable in other localities as well.
especially at points possessing limited
,ailroad facilities, as feathers are not
aeavy enough to interfere with easy
hauling even when there are full loads

Electric Light for Locomotive Head
lights.

The application of electric light IL
one of the most wonderful Ever
since its discovery railroad men and
inventors have been trying to adapt II
touse as a locomotive headlight. The
trouble was in the oscillation Of the
great engine frame, which shook the
carbons together. Some Ohio and In
diana men have invented a perfectly
balanced lamp to hold the carbons. It
has been running on the Pan Handle
railroad. between Bradford Junction
and Indianapolis, and has been a sue
cess. John +. Miller, superintendent
of that division, told me it was per-
feet. 1t is run by a little engine and
dynamo placed on the side Of the loco
motive back of the Westinghouse
brake. The engine is, of course, in
constant motion, and fed direct from
the boiler by an eighth Of an inch tap.
This invention will make travelling at
night safer than in the daytime. The
electric light will show an obstruction
mile away. Collisions mostly occur
on curves. but the cone of light sent
out from one of these headlights would
pierce the darkness SO far in straight
line as to be seen from any part of the

A Sons Devotion 10 His Mother.

nothing so crowns a woman's life with
honor as the devotion of son to her.
Wenever knew a boy to turn out badly
who began by falling in love with his
mother. Any man may fall in love
with a fresh-faced girl, and the man
who is gallant to the girl may cruelty
neglect the poor, weary wife in after

that their harmonious union is the

Ruslin Days truly: 1--WE want one man
to be always thinking, and another to-
be always working, and we call one Q
gentleman and the other an operator;
whereas the workman ought often to
be thinking and the thinker often to be
working, and both should be gentlemen
in the best sense, The mass of society
is made up of morbid thinkers an mis-
erable workers. 1t is only by labor that
thought can be made healthy, and only
by thought that labor can be made hap

The terror which the very name Of
Tekke Turcoman strikes in the bosoms
iof the subjects of the Shah is well il
lustrated in the following anecdote: A
Persian, celebrated for his strength
and courage, was attacked one night
by a Tekke Turcoman. The Persian
threw down his opponent, and, pulling
out knife, prepared to cut his throat.
'"What are you doing?" his captive
shouted. "Can't you see that am a
Tekke?" Instantly the Persian drop
ped his knife and tainted, whereupon
the Turcoman killed him. 1t seems
that the Turcomans do not set very
high value on Persians. The market

STRIKING OIL.
A Little Scrimmage in Which an Oily
Cannon Greases the Patrol
Wagon

About 3 O'Clock yesterday afternoon City
Passenger Agent Stevenson, of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railroad company and
with the Omaha Railroad company, engaged
in dispute over passenger, who was finally
induced to go with the latter, with the under
standing that he was to see Mr.. Stevenson
and procure his rates subsequently. While
Cummins and his man were in the ticket
Office Mr.. Stevenson was approached by an
outsider, an ex- solicitor for Sunday paper,
who undertook to instruct him as to his
duty.
Stevenson requested the young man to at
tend to his own business, whereupon the
latter replied with disgusting remark, on
hearing which Stevenson knocked him down.
Officer Budy stood on tho corner, and being
a witness to the affair he placed the men
under arrest. A large crowd collected on
the corner, and while waiting for the patrol
wagon the officer had great difficulty in keep
ing the sidewalk clear. Among those who
refused to move on was man named Nor
rissey, who handles oil in the Dispatch office,
who on giving the officer some back talk was
very properly placed under arrest
He was not known to the officer as a re-
porter or newspaper man until after his ar
rest, and when the patrol wagon came the
trio was hustled to the city hall, on reaching
which, Mr.. Morrissy with mistaken leniency
was released.
The cushions and floor of the patrol wagon
were so saturated with oil which had exuded
from the ears of the Dispatch man that the
wagon was left out in the street all night in
order to enable it to get its breath and pre-
vent contagion in the city prison which ad-
joins the patrol stable.
Officer Budy clearly die his duty IN the
premises, while at the same tins it must be
said in Mr.. Stevenson IS behalf that in knock
ing the vulgar fellow down who insulted him
he did what almost any man would have
done under the same circumstances.
To every ones surprise the court fined
Stevenson $50, which was paid, but not with
out some audible demurrer on his part to the
excessive punishment. The officer had, at
least, struck oil.
