GUS in New York journalistic circles

in this column several days ago. Dana
alleges that the World committed muir

the retreat whore for years the famous
specialist had secluded himself from the
public and by publishing an account of
his vagaries so Inundated the sensitive
and accomplished ex-alienist that he
hanged himself The World answers
thus;
II Charles A. Dana had possessed the
nervous sensibility of a wart hog he
would have gone crazy thirty years ago,
as the only defence possible against the
unpleasant truths published about him,
and he owes il to the public now TO
drown himself by way Of sacred duty
and atonement. The World describes
the Sun as a paper where dizziness,
venalty, mendaoity and righteousness

writes Mr.. Clement Scott (who has sue
ceeded Mr.. l.. Engel as editor of Our
Celebrities), Ito correct an erroneous
view, ignorantly held, that the post of
private secretary to the sovereign is a
well-paid sinecure, or that the Queen
of England is.not one of the hardest
worked of the highest officials of the
realm. The daily clerical work re-
quired from Her Majesty would aston
ish some of her subjects who complain
of their arduous duties. Apart from
the Queens own private correspond
ence, ana the management of her es-
tates and intimate affairs, there is
scarcely II government office of the first
importance that does not send down
every day to the palace at which Her
Majesty may be residing boxes Of doc
uments. orders, warrants and dircc-
tions requiring the royal sign manual
and instant attention; but there is
scarcely a question of precedent, eti-
quette, change of uniform in the army,
or detail of the various military and
civilian orders and decorations that
does not come under the immediate
and personal supervision and direction
of the Queen. Not day passes with
out the published Court Circular being
carefully edited. revised and corrected
by the Queens own hand; and this i'm
portant document is u model of ac-
curacy in every detail.
Her Majesty neglects nothing; the
punctuality of the return of documents
submitted for signature is Il marvel to
any one who has ever been employed
in a confidential position il a govern
ment office, and it is needless to say
that the drudgery of all this inevitable
daily detail and the minuteness of the
questions involved is considerably
lightened by the possession of an Off
Ger so experienced, so trustworthy and
so distinguished for tact as General
Sir Henry Ponsonby. Unlike many

MONEY IN GEESE.
A Profitable Industry That Is Sadly Neg
lected in This Country.

A Profitable Industry That Is Sadly Neg
lected in This Country.
That the breeding of geese in this
country is so neglected by the majority
of poultry-raisers is a matter of sur
prise, when we take into consideration
the many advantages which the aquatic
fowl possesses over the land animals.
one of which is the fact that they are
less susceptible to disease. The only
way in which l can account for this
neglect is either prejudice or ignorance
of the pecuniary benefit derived from
them.
Farmers claim that they are dirty
and noisy. Proper fencing with NOV
able two-foot fences is the remedy fos
the first objection. The second ought
to be more than balanced by the profit.
unless you are extremely nervous.
In regard to the profit to be obtained
in raising geese, base my calculations
upon the massive, pure-bred Emoden
or Touloust. which is far superior in
my estimation to any other breed, as
they will produce the greatest amount
of flesh in the shortest period, upon
the smallest amount of feed. In giving
estimates / will not take extraordinary
cases, but what can be easily obtained
with reasonable amount of success
and an average market First, we must
consider the cost of production. Sup
posing the breeder has pasture land of
little value, a waste swamp and bog
land capable of growing grasses and
clover and a pond OF running water
furnishing rushes, pond lily stocks and
other aquatic vegetation Qhe pond,
contrary to the general supposition, is
by no means an absolute necessity,
the only expense attached to the rear
ing of geese is the little grain they
consume the first month or six weeks,
and afterward a full meal of whole
corn at night. The cost, from Matching
to time of maturity, / should estimate
to be fifty or seventy-tive cents per head.
Now, look at tho credit side. A fair
weight at maturity would be fifteen
pounds, which at Thanksgiving, when
poultry is most plenty, would be worth
III tne FicluiIy VI ~ Cohpo per pouuu.
There is then 75 cents on the debt and
So on the credit side, which leaves as
net profit $2. 25, or, to be safe, we will
call it $2 clear profit. This can be
multiplied by as many geese as per-
son has space and feed to accommodate.
providing he is willing to exercise the
little care required. What branch of
poultry culture would show a better
account, considering the time and cap
ital investedp Suppose two or more are
bought to start with at cost of $5 or
80 per head; the first cost and hand
some profit can be obtained the first
season, provided distance from good
