Dry Hunlor.

80 William L. Marcy, secretary of state
during the administration of President
Pierce, had dry hulnor in which he
often indulged, though he seldom
laughed. A lawyer of Richmond, Va,
Mr.. r. G. Scott, applied for the con-
sulship at Rio de Janerio. The place
had been promised him, but the nomin-
alton was delayed SO long that Mr..
Scott, becoming impatient, visited
Washington to see what caused his ap-
pointment to chang fire. Calling on
Mr.. Marcy, he frankly said that he was
embarrassed by the uncertainty and
tired of the delay, and wished to be
plainly told what he might expect.
"Mr. Scott" said the secretary, in a
dry, hard tone, ''for every bough of the
top of the tree of appointments-for the
mission plenipotentiary, for example
there are about one hundred applicants;
for the middle boughs, the secretaries
bred applicants, and for the lower limbs
of the consulships there are about one
thousand applicants.
Those holding on to the upper
boughs expect, if they fall, to catch
upon the boughs of the secretaries, and
those disappointed in obtaining them
hope to catch on the limbs of consul
ships.
"For the place of plenipotentiary but
one of the hundred can be appointed,
and the ninety and nine falling upon
the next boughs increase the numbers
of applicants to 800. For the latter but
one can be appointed, and thus S9S fall
upon tho consulships, increasing the
number of applicants to 1898. The
chance for a consulship is one in
1898. You can, therefore, calculate
your chances forthe consulship at Rio. "
"Then, sir" answered the astonished
and dismayed Scott, IL may as we'll go
home to my clients, and quit the bust
ness of office begging!" and he rose to
his feet.
"But, Mr. Scott resumed Mr..
Marcy, motioning to him to resume his
seat, II have advised the president that
the failure to obtain the higher office
should not give lien on the lower
office; thus your chance will remain as
one to thousand only for consul.
ship"
..Well, that chance is not worth
waiting for, and I'll go home," sale
Scott.
.When you do answered the secre
tary, with twinkle in his eyes, "gt
and prepare for your passage to Rio
for your appointment is already deter
mined upon"

with his enjoyment of SCOTS Joyful

MANAGEMENT OF GEESE.
Ono of the Most Profitable Branches @
the Poultry Business.

One of the Most Profitable Branches of
the Poultry Business.
While at last the poultry interests,
in general way. are receiving ut the
hands of the press part OF the atten-
ton commensurate with the great
value of the industry, there is on e inn
portant branch of the business that is
seldom touched upon. and that is the
keeping of geese. There seems to be
a strong antipathy among farmers
against this fowl, which. however we'll
founded it may be in the majority Of
cases, should at least be overcome where
nature has provided us with q location
of special adaptablity, such as we
often see about the country. For there
is no other fowl that requires so little
food or care, or pays SO large profit.
The feathers from each goose should
pay for its keeping. while the proceeds
from the sale of the increase ut Christ

profit.

stock at the outset, as you can then be

The best range is afforded by a large
field, consisting for the most part of
low, springy land, where the grass
starts early, and is always fresh, ten
der and abundant-such land as is un-
fit for any thing but pasturage. Grass
is their chief article of diet. They
must not, however. be confined en-
tirely to wet land. Some dry ground
is sscntial; and in particular must
they have dry sleeping quarters. A
pond or stream of fresh water must
be accessible at all times.
Breeding geese should not be too fat.
They require in spring little feed other
than grass.
