The Foolish Geese.

The following incident is strictly true. Itactually happened in the vicinity of Erie, \. r., during the past winter
 Ata farmhouse near Erie, the family made use of a great deal of beer, and one day emptied the set tliugs sf a cask in the yard. Soon il was observed that a flock of geese belonging to them had fallen dead. As It would not answer to eat geese that had died. they al least decided to save the feathers. The last goose, in plucNing, gave signs of life, and recovered, and so did the rest finally; and 1t was then dIscoN cred that they had only been dead drunk, and were as good as before, excepting that they were stripped of natures clothing in the heart of winter. The kind matron accordingly made each goose a flannel dress, and it was droli sight. we can imagine, to sec the birds promeuading in their new costume.
 mtcrenceS: Beer will make you drunk. nnd dead drunk. If you will drink beer you will be sure 10 get plucked; aud don't risk being plneked in winter, and for that matter it exposes one 10, ridjculr ana inconvenience at all seasons.

< Chief Arthur's Wise Words.

E
 New York Commercial AdNcr. tiser: The following gems ot sense and wi>don are sleaned from tn" address delivered by Chief Arthur at the locomotive engineers con- vention jn thi- cityrecently:
 I.>ou would lave name, lame CT vcali',, work fer them.
 Right k the only lasting founda- iion upon which man can build.
 Tlfe workingman of to-day may be the capitalist of five orten years from now.
 No man has right to anNtl ing which does no' come to hun through the channel of honest ac- qurcmeut.
 There k room enough for every man in country like this, and every man disposed to work must be allowed to find the chance.
 Have au object i0 life. Let It be as exalted as possible, and, if back ed by a strong determination and honest endeavor, believe me you will attain Il.
 We have no sympathy for no
  co.operation Eith any class or set ofmen who base their claims upon the principle that might IS right, and the rich owe the poor a llv' ing.
 What we are and what we have accomplished is the result of long continued, patient work, aud 1t be- hooves us to he extremely eau tious how we interest ourselves where there k nothing to gain, but everything too lose.
 That a good labor organization is a good thing We maintain, but that a heterogeneous mass of men engaged in various occupations, can combine interests satisfactory to form an organization which shall serve all, and with equal iustness very much doubt.
 Much has been said and more written concerning the antagonlSm between capital and labor. To my mind there is no such thing. Be tween work and idleness there has never been any feeling other than antagonistic, and it is those of the latter class who are attempting to poison the mind of the industrious. There seems to be generally prevalent an idea that all capital ists are rich, while the truth Is that no great business enterprise is owned and controlled by one man, but by many, each contribut- ing something to the mighty whole. l will venture to say that most men of thrifty, industrious habits are capitalists.
 Neither the capitalist or laborer is wholly wrong. No one will justify expressions complained ot by candid and industrious work ingmen. The simple statement of their case will command public sympathy and approval On the other hand, the public at large will promptly condemn the willful destruction of property and the Interruption of business.

TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
CONDUCTED BY REV. r. W. HAYES
The Result in Arkansas.

The Result in Arkansas.
 Just before the recent election | issued an address. calling the at tention of the friends of prohibit tion and others, to the state of the law upon the subject of the liquor traffic in Arkansas, and urged the people to vote either for CT against license, as the law gave every voter that privilege when he went to the ballot box.
 IL wnS the wish ol the friends of temperance for every man to vote on that subject, in order that might be aScertained what was the strength of the saloon element with the people at the ballot box.
 According to our information there were but few localities where any special effort was made, or ap-
 
 pliances used, by the friends of temperance to brng out the vote on their side of the question, while it is reasonable 10 suppose the saloon men and their friends were active. The saloon meH had a pecuniary interest Tn their trade, and this alone was sufficient to make them active, The election is now over and the results Sub- s'antially known, but the precise figures cannot now be given, for the reason that, up to this time, seventeen of the counties of the seventy.fiye in the State, have fail ed 10 make returns as to how they voted on the license question: But enough is known to enable us to approximate the results, and We give them.
 The total vote boiled in the State was about I65,0OO and of these about 75,0OO voted for license and about 60.0OO against license, thus leaving about 3O,0O0 which were not put in either for or against license.
 By the way of showing how much the anti saloon sentiment has increased in our State since the people have been given the chance to vote for or against license, will state that at the election of 1882 the total vote polled against license was less than 10000. At the election of 1884 the total vote against license was 44,000 and at the late election the vote reaches about 60,OOO. These figures should certainly encourage the friends of temperance and cause them to continue their good work.
 In the race for prohibition Ar kansas has a just right to be proud of the record she IS making tor she k abreast with the foremost states in the union. We have complete returns from fifty eight of the seventy five counties in the State. and of these tifty-eight twenty two have voted the saloon down and ont. and of the other seventeen not yet fully heard from ! it iS almost certain six have also gone against license, thus making making twenty-eight counties in the State which have voted by a majority of the vote cast on that subject against the liqour traffic in their borders, in any shape, for the next two years. And it appears from the returns that in many other counties where the liquor ! men carried the county for license the majorities were small, in some cases only a few votes, qs in Ben 1 ton and Garland.

ExCEsS OF WOMEN.
The Anxious and Aimless Population a
Great Britain.

Are you aware, my dear. of the APP
palling fact that there are 94s, 900 more
women than men in Great BritainP At
least, there was this very awful disparity
Of numbers at the last census, and /
don't suppose that the disproportion has
decreased since then. In fact, it seems
that it is likely to became greater and
greater, for more girls are born than
boys, and aen do not, as a rule, live SO
long as women.
This immense fact means, perhaps,
very little to married women, unless
they are mothers of large and expen-
sive family of daughters; but TO the un-
appropriated among us, it is fraught
with the dircst meaning. We are all
taught from our nursery days upward TO
look forward to the time when we shall
be married "and live happy ever after"
Do not all the nursery sto-
ries and fairy tales end with
wedding bellsp And | suppose that
it is natural for woman to ike to have
home of her own, and husband and
children. There are women who would
despise us for making such con-
fession; but do you not think with me
that an unshared life seems incompleter
Well, dear, in the face of all this
are those dreadful six figures, the fe-
male overplus of 94s,000.
II is therefore quite apparent that sew
eral hundred thousands Of us must re-
main single, and we NAV as well look
Al II. l. Al
while we hope for the best, prepare for
the worst. Marriage to the great ms
joriiy of women means a provision.
Failing in this, they must provide for
themselves. So, every girl should be
brought up to some occupation that
would bring her in sufficient for her
maintenance. Fathers ought to see that
their daughters are as carefully trained
with view to self-support as their sons
are.-London Truth.

The Tremendous Quantity Of Food Coz

The Tremendous Quantity Of Food Con-
sumcd by spiders.
1t is not everybody who knows how
much a spider can eat. Most of us
have derived amusement. and perhaps
instruction, from watching the subtle
arrangements and devices of the little
tactician with view to capture some
dainty little insect, and many of us
would know exactly where to place this
interesting creature in the classification
of animal life, but probably very few of
us have any idea what a voracious gor-
mand the spider is. A gentleman, scien-
tiiically inclined, and luxuriating in the
rare possession of leisure, has recently
given to the world some very curious
and startling statements rs regards the
arachneidiean appetite. He captured a
spider and kept il in confinement, sup
plying it literally with food, and care
fully recording his observations. He
estimated that the creature ate four times
its weight for breakfast. nine times its
weight for dinner, thirteen times its
weight for supper, finishing up with an
ounce of food. In the same proportion
a man of average weight would demol-
ish an OK for breakfast. two more for
dinner, couple of bullocks, eight
sheep, and four pigs for supper, and
then hundredweight of fish to prepare
the way for an aldermanic banquet be-
fore retiring to bed.-Bdptist Weekly.

Why jews Live so Long.

The Ne,o England Medical Monthly com
ments very favorably on the proverbial
long and healthful lives Of the Jews. DR.
Picard holds that this superiority is due to
like the older Egyptian code, il very strin
gent regarding the eating OF flesh and other
articles OF food. OF the animals examined.
large proportion are always condemned
as unfit for food. People who eat meat in
d.scrimi inately are very prone TO disorders
OF the blood and OF the kidneys, for meat ia
composed of nitrogen, which the kidneys
have 10 remove from the blood, and OF
course they can not do this successfully ex.
cept by the aid of Warmers safe cure, the
best kidney strengthener, unless it Is tenn
perately partaken of and only the very
best meat is used. Jews also use alcoholic
liquors very sparingly and thus keep up
good digestion, and then again they are a
holiday loving and Sabbath observing class.

(OhIo) Hen.

Mr.. Leonard Grant, Jr., vouches for
the truth OF the following story, and
says he can bring plenty Of men who
will testify to his veracity, so we give
the story as he gave il to us. with tn,
remark that it is the biggest hen tall
on record: About sixteen years ago
my father thrcshed with an open cylin
der machine, raking the straw from the
oats and chat, leaving the latter upon
the floor. Just before completing thc
work, q hen flew down from the scat
fold where the oats had been stored
and went out from the barn. After the
machine was removed 10 a neighbor's,
| saw the same hen come upon the floor
and begin scratching among the oats and
chaf. My brother told me to frighten
her way, but thought she wanted e.
lay, so we kept still and watched her
She quickly made q nest, and in about
two minutes arose, cackled. and went
off few steps, then returned to tn,
nest a few minutes, got up. andeackleo
again, repeating the process five time.
before leaving the floor, each time dc
posting an egg in the nest. After thu
fifth egg. we called father, but h.
laughed at US, believing we had our
selves put in the eggs, but our unite'
testimony was too much for him. and h.
accepted the truthfulness Of our report
My brother was about twenty-five and !
twelve years old at the time. The stor,
does seem fishy, but | know II is true. !"

Discovery of Race Unacquainted with the
Existence Of white Nations
Captain Holm recently returned to
Copenhagen after having spent two
years and a half in exploring the almost
unknown region of the east coast of
Greenland Although ten or twelve ex-
petitions have set out for East Green
land in the past two centuries, almost
all of them in search Of the lost Morse
men, who were supposed To have set
tied there, only one ship ever reached
the coast. The great ice masses, some
times hundreds of miles wide. that are
perpetually piled up againt the shore
have kept explorers from East Green
land long after all other Arctic lands
were fairly well known. With three
assistants Captain Holm landed at Cape
Farewell and then went north some 400
miles. He has returned with large COL
lections representing the fora, fauna,
geology and anthropology of this hith-
erto unknown portion Of the earth s
surface He found in those cold and
dismal regions, isolated from the world,
a race of people who had never heard
or known of the great civilized nations
of the earth. They seem to lead happy
lives and lived in communistic way in
hamlets. They differ entirely in Ian
guage and physical characteristics from
