Not ths Ocean He Expected.

From the Detroit Free Press.
He was an old man OF sixty, and had lived

He came down to Atlantic City on an ex.

"There, father-thars the ocsan."

.'No, amt. III get you some"
Bill borrowed one OF the sand pals from

water. The old man tasted of II and ex-
claimed

Well, where's the iceberg's ?"

Putting Geese to Work.

From the st. Lo7is Globe Democrat
gentleman who has just returned from
the central part OF Alabama tells the fol-
lowing wonderful story, which gives q new
departure far farmers In the South. and
which, III Ia found to be succ sssful, will be a.
novel as 1t will be profitable and labor say.
Ing. He says:
When was in Alabama, between Por-
tef's Gap and Millerville, came to eoun.
try place where man was driving ten or
twelve geese from branch to cotton
patch.
For heavens sake, " eaid 1, " what is
II you have on the necks OF those geese I"
"Those are gourds full OF water. l drive
the geese into that cotton patch, and keep
them there all day wedding out the cotton
There Is no water In tho cotton patch, aud l
have to give them water In this way to keep
them thoro. Those geese will weed out
more cotton In one day than tgo people
wonld. They will est tS.o krhss and weeds,
but they won touch the cotton"
"But how do they get the water out OF
tbs gourds under their necksY'
"fhey drink out OF each others gourd.
Each gourd has an opening In the side, SO
that another gooss can put his bill into the
gourt and drink. II you will stay here
long enough you will see 1t for yourself"
l waited th0re half day to see that per.
formauce, and finally saw 1t. The geese
did Just ~ tho man said they would. When
goose got thirsty he walked up to his
netghbor and coolly drank out OF tho
gourd on his neck.
When asked II no had yet made crop
with the help OF the get SO he repl o In st
he made small crop last year, but
only had limited number OF geese, as he
was only experimenting. This year ne has
over hundred geese in harness., add they
have succeeded In keeping his crop cleaned
out 70 far. He has 100 acres under cultlva-
ton, and says that he will make tne best
crop he has ever made.
When asked how he came 10 think OF
using tho geese as farm hands, he replied
that Two years ago he had a small patch of
cotton near his house. In this patch the
geese raised about his yard were allowed to
run. He noticed that the cotton had little
or no grass and no weeds at all, and began
to watch the geese. He found that they
literally ate every weed and every blade OF
grass, but they did not touch the cotton.
Finding how valuable they were for this
purpose no resolved TO try thom on larger
scale, and IL delighted with his expert
menI His neighbors have paid close at.
tenton to tho matter, and next year they
Will each OF them start large number OF
geese In harness In their cotton crops II the
farmers experiment Is as successful as he
thinks II will be, 1t Ia only of few years
until the whole cotton crop OF Alabama
will be weoded out by the ordinary farm
goose.

having written . rambling essay on the

beneht OF Senator Quay aud his friends, he
promptly tenders his resignation from his
Office. Mr.. Litchman thus comes into the

because he knew that ho could escape dis

tary. Tho executive board had instructed

SO far there have only been thirty

age is not much greater than has
often happened In few minutes by q
railway disaster, but the terror and gloom
of the situation arises from the certainty
that the pestilence has q foothold and il
bound to. run It's course. It has In the
past defed the best of human skill, and
the most that can be hoped Is that the
quarantine will be successful and other
cities will be saved. There are disquiet-
ing rumors Of fever In other parts, nota.
bly, near Cbeboygan, Michigan; and north
ern cities should not permit themselves to
be lulled into false security by their long
immunity from this distinctively Southern
curse.
Lancaster should stir herself In the
perfection Of her drainage system and
water works, for dirt Is the best friend of
disease, and, though we are not half as
unclean as some other towns, we are GER
tainly not as irreproachable as we might
be.
The spectacle of city cut Off abso-
lutely from her neighbors and left sternly
alone to fight with merciless and mys.
terious foe her trade, wealth and power
annihilated In a few days, and the lives
Of all her citizens In deadly peril, should
impress all city fathers with the
urgency Of eternal vigilance In civic
