Queer Conduct of q Goose.

A party of boys were hunting at night
near Paxton, Ind, and their dogs freed a
coon. They built fire in order to see to
shoot the coon. Suddenly there was a
mysterious whirr in the air that startled
the youthful hunters Almost at the
same time dark object struck the fire
they had built with such force as to
make the sparks fly in all directions.
The young hunters for moment could
not realize what had happened, but on
examination they discovered that a large
wild goose had sailed straight into the
fire. The goose turned several somer-
saults and balanced itself after its revo-
luton on its feet in time to receive a
blow from cudgel in the hands of
young Walters, who proudly carried off
the prize. The goose incident removed
the coon entirely from the minds of the
young Nimrods. Chicago Herald.

Rufus Cook, a civil and sanitary en-
gineer, has addressed an open letter tx
the city council of Minneapolis, in which
he makes some pertinent and valuable
suggestions on the subject of city SAM
tation. He states that with the growth
of cities there is constant tendency t.
the accumulation of unsanitary cond
tons. Sanitary work consists in thu
application of preventive measures rather
than curative. the latter being the prov
ince of the physician. To insure thit
sanitary work being fully carried out
ample funds should be appropriated te
the health department
People need to be taught that what
they eat, drink and breathe has an i'm.
portant relation to their health and hap.
piness, and to maintain human existence
in its highest state requires pure air,
pure water and pure food, and these sup.
plemented by pure soil. AS purity of
air is first in Importance, the best system
of heating and ventilation should be ap-
piled to all public and private buildings.
A good plumbing law is one of the most
effective steps in sanitary progress that
the city can possibly have. Mr.. Cook
quotes from the New Jersey board of
health: Most of our cities are still far
behind in the details of approved SAM
tary administration, and in those finan-
cial provisions, therefore, which are nee
essary for the health of the people. In
the work of sanitary inspection and ad-
vice. and in the general oversight of the
people, we find field of operation which
might be largely extended to the great
advantage of our citizens. THE SAM.

In the American Museum of Natural
History there are four specimens of the
Labrador duck. Two are adult males,
one an adult female and one a young
male. Fifteen or twenty years ago these
ducks were very plentiful, and were sold
Ill Fulton market for food at very mod
crate prices. Now they are entirely ex-
tinct, and only five specimens are known
to be in this country, the fifth having
formerly belonged to the museum col
lection, but being now at the Smith
sonian institution. In all the museums
of Europe there are only seven.
The adult male is quite black, except
ing on the wings, head and neck, which
are perfectly white, the crown of the
head being topped with black. The
female is of grayish dove color. the
young male being exactly the same in
appearance, except that the head and
neck are somewhat larger than those of
the female. The bill and foot are very
similar to those of the mallard duck, and
the size is about the same as that Of the
ordinary canvas back.-New York Times.

I do not know whether it is generally
known that in India, and | believe in
other tropical countries, there are in
every hive what one can only describe as
"ventilating bees" mean that during
the hot season two or three bees post
themselves, on their heads, at the en-
trance of the hive and fan the interior
with the incessant motion of their wings.
They are relieved at intervals by fresh
bees, who carry on the process. They
are kept to their duty by a sort Of patrol
OF bees to insure their incessant activity.
This is well authenticated and known
fact.-St. James Gazette.

Some years ago, in Paris, there was a
small restaurant, known as the Blind
Mems Cafe, much frequented by the
blind, where an orchestra of blind must
cans performed for the amusement of
patrons.
One extremely dark night in winter,
when thick fog had fallen upon Paris
so thick that no one could see his way,
nor SO much as distinguish street lamp
ten feet away, and when policemen, car
rying torches, here and there assisted
some cropping foot passenger to find his
course-a gentleman, seeing another man
walking along confidently and boldly,
ventured to say to him:
"Sir. will you please tell me where you
are going?"
ITO the Palais Royal" said the gentle
man, who was walking with such sure
footsteps.
"And how do you find your way SO
readily?"
"Oh, never mind; never get lost. Dc
you wish to follow me2'
Thank YOU"
SO the first gentleman caught hold OF
pocket of the others overcoat, and start
ed after him. Not thing could he
descry, but his companion marched con-
tidently along. At length the two ar.
rived under the familiar arches of the
Rue de Rivoli

gentleman who had been led: land may

cafe"
The man was perfectly blind. The
thick fog was nothing to him, who had
walked in darkness all his life, but had
nevertheless learned his way surely
through the great city. This was one
instance, at least, where the blind had
an advantage over the possessors OF
sight. Youths Companion.

A Shrewd Dog.

Of sedate but cunning dog out in
California this story is told: On one
occasion a rabbit was started, and all
the dogs with the exception of Bonus
dashed off in full pursuit. We were
estonished to observe that he, foregoing
the intense excitement of the chase, de-
iberately trotted by short cut to a
hollow oak trunk, and crouching at it's
base calmly awaited the coming of the
fleeing rabbit. And he was not disap-
pointed, for the pursuing dogs pressed
the rabbit 80 hard that after making a
long detour, it approached the place of
refuge. AS it was about entering the
hollow trunk, Bonus sprang up and cap
tured 1t. Now, this old dog was used to
hunting rabbits In that field, and knew
that the rodents were in the habit of
flying for safety to that hollow tree.
Moreover, this story is true.-Philadel-
phia Times.

Railroads are doing a great deal now
for Mexico. About four years ago l
made very extensive trip through that
country, and I have just returned from
covering practically the same ground.
was hardly prepared for the changes
made, but can now see what roads now
projected and being constructed will dc
in the next few years. The railroad
people, however, have had considerable
uphill work, as the people were hardly
ready for such means of conveyance and
had to be educated. In the course of
this education some novel ideas and ex-
pedients have been employed The small
farmers and vegetable producers, for in
stance, could not get over the old idea of
loading up their burros and trudging
into the city of Mexico with their pro-
ducts. Thus the spectacle of a train of
empty cars and long line of heavily
laden and slow moving burros, driven by
the patient farmer, was furnished. Fl.
nally some one hit upon the happy idea
of offering a low rate for hauling the
burros. 1t was gradually accepted, the
farmers loading up their burros as usual
and driving them on the cars bound for
the city. In this way they began to sec
the value of rapid transportation, and
gradually awakened to the fact that the
burros were useless. Now the railroads
are receiving the business very much as
In any other country, though some of the
smaller farming class still stick to the
long cared burro.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

A Standing Query.

''How is it," asks Thackeray, on one of
his most characteristic pages, that the
evil which men say spreads SO widely
and lasts SO long, whilst our good, kind
words don't seem somehow to take root
and bear blossoms? Certain it is that
scandal is good brisk talk, whereas praise
OF ones neighbor is by no means lively
hearing. An acquaintance grilled. scored,
deviled and served with mustard and
cayenne pepper, eXcitcs tic @ppetite;

Done and Undone.

A Dickinson college student, in a
spirit of braggadocio, made bet of IS
with another young man that he could
put two regulation billiard balls in his
mouth at one time. He accomplished
the feat, and is now sadder but wiser
person. The balls stuck in his mouth,
and all efforts to dislodge the same
proved futile, until finally an NJ. D. was
called in, who, in order to get them out,
was compelled to cut a slit in his mouth
on each side. The other fellow paid the
