great enough to consume 1t all. The
Strawberries, ice cream and Confection-

fine. In addition to many church mem

such occasions, there was large gather

An Amusing Goose story.

"When | was in Alabama. between
Porter's Gap and Milleryille, said a
gentleman living in Atlanta, Il came TO
q country place where a mar was driving
ten or twelve geese from a branch toward
q cotton patch. For heavens sake
said I, what is it you have on the necks
of those geeseF Those are gourds. full
of water. drive these geese into that
cotton patch and keep them there all day

water in the cotton patch, and | have 10

them there But how do they get the
water out Of those gourds under their
necksf, They drink out Of each others
gourds. Each gourd has an opening in

ball into the gourd and drink. IL you

The Petroleum Producing Strata.

Oil producing strata do not always be-
long 10 the same geological period. In
Kentucky and Tennessee the petroleum
is furnished by the lower silurian; that
is, by the most ancient stratified rocks.
In Upper Canada il Is found in the lower
Devonian, and in Pennsylvania in the
upper DevOnian. The springsof western
Virginia flow from the upper carbonifer-
Gus strata. In Connecticut and North
Carolina coal oil is found in the trias, in
Colorado and Utah in the lignites of the
c%retaceous formation, while the oil pro-
duciug regions Of California belong 10
tile tertiary period. il is a remarkable
fact that most Of the deposits Of the
ancient world exist in comparatively re-
cent tertiary formations, as for instance
those Of the oil impregnated sands OF
Alsace, OF the south Of France, and Of
Abruzzia and Emilia in Italy. There
ere numerous deposits in Galicia AMI the
Danubian provinces similarly placed,
while the strata that contain those Of
the C;rimea, the Caucasus and the island
Of Taman are Of nearly the same geolog-
ical epoch. II is a fact 10 be noted that
the oils coming from the greatest depth
are OF the best quality, those produced
from nearer the surface OF the earth

WILL MR.. FULLER AccEPT2
Some Reasons why the ChicagoAn May Not
Want tho Chief Justiceship.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-There Is a rumor
current among those intimate with the
President that Il Is possible MIR. Melville
w. Fuller will not accept the position of
Chief Justice of the United States. 1t Will
be remembered that when the President
Offered Mr.. Fuller four other appointments
he declined any office for reasons obvious
to those who knew that he was dependent
upon his practice for the support OF his
family. In this instance the President felt
certain that Mr.. Fuller would accept, and
did not deem 1t necessary to ask II he
would
A. z his name was sent to the Senate on
Montoy last and the nomination was known
throu tout the country, it was naturally
expected at the White House that some re-
coguition would come from Mr.. Fuller OF
the great honor conferred upon him. The
day passed without the slightest acknowl-
edgement of that honor.
The President, supposing Mr.. Fuller was
observing to the extreme all the proprieties
1t was possible to invent, met him half way,
and at once addressed Mr.. Fuller letter
informing him of the compliment that day
bestowed by naming him for the most cX-
alted judicial office in his gift A reply
came promptly, recognizing in the most
betitting manner the Presidents act, but II
WAS wholly silent about whether he would
accept or not.
" Reasons for this were at once asked OF
hose who knew Mr. Fuller The only
one tnat appeared reasonable was that
gentleman with seven daughters. aCcus
toned TO all the ref1nements and conyonj
ences OF cultured society, would still need
thelarge income of their Gathers profession
to maintain their sociel status wherever
they might live.
Tho salary Of Chief Justice is only
$1O,60O per annum. TO accept the office
would make him dependent upon that
salary and such income as he might derive
from his Chicago property. Whether the
total would then be enough to maintain in
Washington the same social standing that
Mr. Fuller's family has enjoyed for many
years In Chicago is question that the
Presidents advisers were enabled from
years of experience in Washington to
answer in the negative.
1t was not alone question of judicial
honor, but of honor with an assured
enjoyment of all that is necessary to main.
tain 1t through the remaining years of his
life without, in the end, having the story
Of Chief Justice Waite's fifteen years on
the bench repeated at his death<that ht
died poorer than when he came to Wash
ington.
A stated income of $50, 900 year would
not. 1t is said, more than enable MIR. Fuller
to maintain bis home in Washington as hi
would want to live

the formal acceptance of the honor until |
the President is able to hand him the only
evidence that would be acceptable, viz
