SUPERINTENDENT WHITE, of the Knights
town Home, is a good man to relegate to pri-
vate life as speedily as possible. 1t is well
that the bill recognizing the institutions over
which he presides has passed both houses
Of the Legislature. No time should be
lost by Governor Gray in making nominations
for trustees, and the latter should at once
secure a capable and humane superintendent.

THE Chicago correspondent Of an Eastern
paper explains why it is that, although the city
is mortgaged to the East for over $10O, 000, geo,
there are no second mortgages on any property
there The explanation is comprehensive and

gets mortgage for as much as he can and
there is nothing left to put second mortgage
on. The boast is made, of course that there is

A GOOSE FARM.
A Virginia Idea Which Has Proved to be
Profitable.

A Virginia Idea Which Has Proved to be
Profitable.
There is "a goose ranch located on the
eastern shore of Virginia, covering
nearly 5000 acres, over which the
feathered occupants, nearly 5000, are
free to roam. The farm is devoted
exclusively to producing the raw ma
ter. ais needed for the fine down quilts.
Several species of geese are bred, all of
them being, however, of American line
age. The largest specimens are the
svan-geese. and the plumage of all is
of snowy whiteness. The birds are
regularly fed with corr and other
grains. and are given the utmost free
dom consistent with the prevention of
straying and loss. Hsrders are en-
'ployed to keep a watchful eye on them,
and sheds for shelter are provided in
case of inclement or especially severe
weather, but the birds rarely use them.
About every SIX weeks the plucking
takes place. Only the breast and por-
tons of the sides are touched. the
feathers of the back. the wings and the
tail being left intact. 1t requires nearly
one hundred average geese to furnish a
pound of down, though the smaller
feathers, which are also taken, weigh
much heavier. These feathers, how
ever, form an entirely separate grade
from the valuable down. The average
life of a goose is said to be about forty
years, and they produce from six to ten
eggs per annum, a large proportion of
which are Matched. A bird Matched in
February is in condition for plucking
the following August, aud so on there
after every SIX or eight weeks. The
feathers are packed in sacks, and sent
to the Philadelphia factory, where they
are trimmed. washed, : steamed and
other wise prepared forstheir ultimate

How to Climb Stairs Easily.

A professional athlete says that there
is a knack in climbing stairs easily. To
throw the body forward, and bending
at the hips, more than doubles the work.
The weight of the body is a load that
the muscles of the legs and loins must
carry, and they carry it easily if the
center of gravity is kept directly above
them. Bending forward imposes on the
muscles of the trunk the unnecessary
task of holding the load from pitching
forward. This is like carrying a load
at arms length instead of on the Shout
der Oh on the head, as many Europeans
carry burdens. Athletes lift enormous
weights by bringing the strain on the
pelvic arch and legs, keeping their
backs straight. The gentleman gives
this advice to shareholders: "Do not
lean forward. Do not hurry. Do not
spring from stair to stair. Step firmly,
ieisurely, and keep erect. "-Baptisl

Emerson was born al Belfast in 1916. He
began his career with Joe Sweeney's min

jumped into prominence in connection with
Newcomb's MINISTRIES with whom he visited
Germany. He visited Australia in 1874
and on his returnt to America Joined Haver.
ley's minstrels in San Francisco at $500 a
week and expenses. With this troupe he
played before her majesty, the Queen, the
Prince of Wales, and royalty generally.
After this trip he leased the Standard
theater, San Francisco, where for three
years he did the largest business ever
known to minstrelsy. In April last he
went to Australia again, where he has

excellent singer, dances gracefully, and is

"Yes, sir, I have travelled all over the

had all sorts of experiences. One must
have a constitution like a locomotive to

Singular Hindoo Outrage.

The police at Hyderbad have succeed
ed in arresting four Pariahs charged
with desecrating graves on a large scale
for a singular superstitious purpose.
The graves of children freshly buried
were the special objects of their opera
tons. The head of the band, a Poojaree
named Appawoo, use to cut the large
blood-vessels connected with the head
and neck of the disinterred children,
and subsequently employed them in the
CONNECTION of an ointment which, he
told his dupes, when applied to the eye
lids, conferred the power of seeing hid
den treasures. The detection Of the
ruffians was caused by the visit one
night of a mother to the grave of her
child, buried only that day. She sur
prised them at their work and at once
brought the police.-St. James Gazette.
