PIucking and Shearing Geese.

A curious case came before an En-
glish court for adjudication recently.
A poulterer was charged with cruelty
to forty-eight live geese by plucking
them of their feathers, and the owner
was charged with procuring the COM
mission of the offense. The proceed
Hgs were taken by the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. A
witness swore that "after the geese
were plucked their skins turned pur-
pie color, and they seemed to be in
pain. They walked about with their
backs up, and shrank when touched" I"
The practice was shown by defend
ants to be very prevalent, and the So
ciety asked for a nominal fine to put a
stop to it. The defendants said it was
the custom of the district to pluck the
feathers every six weeks, and if they
were stopped from doing SO many peo-
pie would discontinue keeping geese,
as much more money was realized by
the sale of feathers than by the geese.
The court imposed fine of eighteen
shillings upon the defendants, and ex-
pressed the hope that it would be a
warning to other people. Plucking
live geese and ducks prevails all over
the United States.
There is species of large water
fowl whose habitat in winter is the
open lakes of the interior. and their
feathers are SO firmly set that they can
not be plucked. Shearing is resorted
to, and many housewives have beds
made of the feathers, which almost
equal those of elder down, as the stiff,
troublesome quills are absent. Shear
ing geese and ducks could be made to
supersede plucking.-American Agri-

4 ReguIar Sell.

A shnbby-genteel sort of a man
knocked at the door of small SUBJ
urban villa. The one servant of the
establishment was out, so the mistress
herself opened the door.
"What do you want?" she asked,
rather sharply, not much liking his APP
pearance.
The man looked at her, opened he
eyes wide as if struck with amazement,
and said:
well, madam, don't want anything.
see I've made mistake. The fact is,
I've come to the wrong house"
Then he murmured, but sufficiently
loud for the lady to hear:
What complexionl Never saw
such lovely one in all my life The
pink and white seem to melt into one
another. Beautiful beautiful If all
ladies had such compilations, I might
as we'll go into the workhouse at once I"
The lady had listened to his eulogy
on her complexion with visible pleas
ure, and, noticing that the man had a
box under his arm, asked:
Have you anything to sell ?"
well, madam have, and haven't,
at least not to you; for you don't re-
quire what have to sell. So I'll say
good day, madam, and must apologize
for troubling you"
"Wait minute. What is it you have
to sell?" inquired the lady, her curl
osity being aroused.
Il have, madam repeat, it is no
good to you'll have, madam, a wonder
full wash for the complexion. It's called
the lily and rose blend, and is pre-
pared from recipe nearly hundred
years old, and was used with fascinating
effect by some of the great beauties OF
France. But, good day, madam. 1
won't detain you any longer; as said
before, you don't require complexion
wash Art, madam, great as it is, can
not compete with Nature"
He gave an intense glance of admir-
alton at the lady, took off his hat, re-
treated two steps, and then stopped to
fiddle with the clasp of his box.
SIS it really good for the complex
ion ?" asked the lady.
Wonderful, madam, wonderful but

"How much is it hottle?"
"One shilling, madam, or two bottles
Tor one and nine. But"
I'm half inclined to try bottle, y
hesitated the lady. :.
"Ofcourse, madam, if you feel chari'
tably disposed, and would like to make
present of bottle or two to some
lady friend who suffers from the great
detriment to beauty, bad complexion
good compilations are very rare,
madam say, should you feel chari'
tably disposed, madam, why, that's
another thing"
well, I'll take bottle"
Two for one and nine, madam" said
the man, insinuatingly.
"Very well, give me two, then"
"Thank you, madam. Good-day. I'm
extremely obliged to you, madam"
Said the lady to herself as she walked
indoors: what well-spoken man
quite gentlemanly. It's pity he can't
get some better employment than ped

A fox and crow once engaged in a
game of poker. They had played but
short time when an owl came past and
stopped to watch the game. He soon
noticed something crooked, and called
the crow to one side and observed :
"You are fool to play with that fox.
He goes to the deck and sorts out

The Decline Of g-Making.

Badness has grown so common among
men of every age-boys are frequently
bald nowadays-that it has almost ceased
to be noticed. Consequently, wigs are
very little in demand, and the trade of
wig making has greatly declined. One
rarely secs wig now, except on some
very old fashioned, very artificial man,
addicted to paste diamonds and dyeing
his whiskers. If it were not for the wear
ing of wigs on the stage, making
would be almost an extinct industry
Forty years ago men prematurely bald
nearly always donned wigs. They did
not like to be remarkable from the loss
of hair A man is more apt to be remark
able now from abundant than from insult

GENEROUS GIFT.
Mrs. Alexander VIII Build Commence
rnent Hall for Princeton CnlIece.

New YORK, November 13th.-A Tribune
Princeton On. J.) special says: At the an
nual fall meeting of the Board of Trustees
of Princeton University, held today, Presi-
dent Patton announced the gift of a new
building by Mrs. Harriet Crocker Alexsn-
der, daughter of the late Charles Crocker of
California.
The new building will be used for COM
mencemeEt exercises and all the higher
functions of university life. 1t will BE the
finest, most costly and best-equipped build
ing of its kind belonging to any college in
the country. The best architects will be
consulted, and also the best taste and
precedent in building of this style.
Several sites have been suggested, but
none of them are considered at all satisfac-
tory. The matter of location is rather a
puzzle. The college has plenty of ground,
but as yet no convenient and commanding
site has been found which is available for q
building of this character. 1t is TO be a
memorial of the Alexander family, fifteen
OF whom have graduated at Princeton.
President Patton gracefully announced
the gift to the Trustees in the following
words: II think we all feel the need of
some suitable building for our commence
men. exercises and other academic fuEc-
tions. have looked forward to the time

TRADE WITH AUSTRALIA.
Report of Consul Connolly Regarding
Our Relations With the Colonies.

WASHINGTON, November 13th.-Consul
]. D. Connolly, al Auckland, New Zealand
has submitted a report to the State Depart
ment III which he says: The total value
of imports from the Urited States during
the year 1883 amounted to 81 712, $50, an
increase over the preceding year of S95. .s35.
The value of exports to the United States
during the same period was 81, 706 SO, thus
showing the balance of trade to be S., 800
in our favor at the close OF last year.
LAS the Australasian colonies are grow
ing in wealth and population, and in con-
sequence their commercial Importance is
correspondingly increasing, it might not be
uninteresting to know the value of our
trade with New Zealand for the last ten
years, viz, from 1880 to 1889, inclusive,
from figures just received from the Colonial
Government l find the exports for the
period above referred to to be: Imports
from the United States, $17 $50 255; exports
to america, SIG 339, ,060; thus leaving bal
an0e to our credit for ten years trade OF
81, ,541 ,195.
Considering that there has been no
special effort on our part TO cultivate these
close commercial relations, which are be-
coming so necessary to the cultivation OF
new markets for the surplus manufactures
of the United States, the above figures can
not be considered unfavorable. | believe
am justified in saying that if al earnes,
effort was made towards extending our
trade with these colonies our present trade
will more than double annually. This,
however, can only be accomplished by
more frequent communication
