A small Satsuma jar, that stands on
the desk of a busy woman, receives
the odd pennies, or what she calls
1.-The unexpected money'-that found
loose in pockets or bureau drawers.
There will never be enough money in
it to found a hospital, or TO build a
home for insane dogs, but there is al
ways enough to send a posy to a sick
friend, a paper TO somebody way off
where little reading matter can be got
ten, Or to buy a souvenir for a birth
day. Once started and we'll managed,
the box is like the widows cruise
never empty. Do not count the con-
tents except when you are taking stock
with a purchase in view. Counting
seems to break the spell. Pennies are
gregarious-and where one goes an
other wants to follow.
Let them form a community in the
savings box and just see how they will
gather-leaves in Vallambrosa will be
as nothing as compared to them.-La-
dies Home Journal.

The common tame goose of this
country had its ancestry in Europe,
says The indianapolis Journal, and is
descended from wild birds that had
been domesticated. though it varies
considerably in color from its progeni-
tors, yet less than ducks and other
fowls do from their wild originals. 1t
tends to a general gray, especially the
female, while the male is often Who'll
ly white. The usual weight Of a good
goose is fifteen or sixteen pounds, but
by examining with nourishfng food the
weight is sometimes doubled. The So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals would probably object to one
method employed for the f~attening of
the goose. Many ages ago it was dis
covered hat by combining and pre-
venting motion, employing fattening
diet and sometimes Supplying sub
stances, the body of the bird would be-
come loaded with fat in comparative
ly short time. 1t was during the reign
of Louis XIV that a thrifty French
marketwoman discovered a way to re-
strain her geese from wandering by
mailing their feet to a board. This en-
abled her to fatten her geese rapidly,
and her product was in great demand,
as the enlarged and diseased livers Of
her birds were in request for pates de
fois gras, which from that day to this
have been greatly esteemed by cpl
cures.
The Chinese have for centuries led
the world in the cultivation and edu-
cation of this bird, bringing it into a
high state of perfection in size and
flavor. The goose is long lived when al
lowed to ruminate and prolong its days.
having been known to live TO be 100
years old. 1t has been alleged that a
goose of this old age finds its way to
market. The habit of kissing at un-
pleasant performances is initiated
from the goose, and was INDUCED in
by ancestors when theatrical en-
tertainments were not to their liking.
1t may be remarked, however, that the
hiss has fallen into innocuous desue-
tude, and no matter how bad a per-
Torrance may be the dreaded sibilant
symptom of disapprobation is never
more heard. OF course, no article on
the goose would be complete without
a passing allusion to the geese that
saved Rome one night when the cleo
trio light had gone out and the watch
men were at a benefit ball.

She was about as big as q sparrow
and as lively. She had bare feet and
naked legs, but she did not seem to
mind a little thing like that. Perhaps
it was the dirt which kept them warm.
1t may have been custom, which they
say is equal to the warmest of furs, or
1t may simply have been that she did
not know any better. All l know is
that when l asked her if she was not
cold she said: "Cold7 Nawl What
for sh'd l be cold fur7"
l really could not answer this CO.
nundrum.
Like Ruth of old-Boaz's Ruth-she
was cleaning, but it was not among
the sheaves. 1t was on Water street
among the warehouses, where the big
ships come in and lie at rest, their
sharp noses poked far over the land,
their labors over for the time being,
their rich cargoes, which they had
brought over so many leagues of tum-
bling water, being trundled into the big
warehouses. Careless bags and boxes
sprung leaks in her behalf, and if the
big, burly, good natured longshore-
men were particeps criminis Iwould
not be surprised if the recording angel
looked the other way and did not see
the act. And so it happened that sun
dry beans of coffee and stray cloves
and sticks of cinnamon, and even the
bean of commerce and of Boston,
found their way to the pavement, and
thence to the basket of the bare legged
human sparrow. She was brisk, she was
industrious and she was full of energy.
and the outcome of her cleaning was
wonderful to behold.
My heart was filed with sympathy
and love. felt the little miss was a
poem in rags, and l was sure under
meath her rude exterior there dwelt a
soul that was fitted for higher and
better things. l desired to commune
with her, and approaching, full of
reverence, l said to her:
My child, l have watched you long
and tenderly. l have wondered why
you have gathered the hotsam and
jetsam of the dirty street. l long to
know the secret of your occupation.
Wilt tell it mel"
She looked upin my face with a look
of divine innocence.
Yer wants to knowT" said she.
Il do" was my reply.
WhatH yer glve?'she asked.
"a quarter, " l replied, though taken
somewhat aback.
She opened her lips in a smile that
was divine and in a voice as full OF
melody as a mountain brook she told
the secret of her toll in these strange
words:
me mudder keeps a boardin' house"

CUT OF DANGER.
Secretary Tracy Removed to
the White House.
He Bears Up Well Under His
Great Grief.
Mrs. and Miss Tracy to Be
Buried This Morning.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. : Secretary
Tracy continues to improve slowly.
Many prominent people called during the
morning and were informed the secretary
was getting along nicely. His son, Frank
b Tracy arrived this morning on a special
train. This is the first member of his
family the secretary has seen since the
awful calamity OF yesterday, and his pres
ence was an unmistakable source of Joy to
the bereaved parert. The president SEM
over early in the morning to inquire after
the secretary and Private Secretary Hal
ford called in person about 10 O'Clock to
consult with regard to the secretary's re-
moval to the white house.
Secretary Tracy was removed to the
white house. The physicians pronounce
him out of danger.
Shortly after arrival at the white house
he requested to be taken into the east
room and shown the caskets containing
the remains of his wife and daughter.
They were covered with beautiful flowers.
Standing at the head. between them both,
was a large palm tree, arranged SO that
the leaves dropped gracefully over the
dead. The secretary was very much af-
fected BY the sight, and sobbed as though
his heart would break. The casket CON
tanning Mrs. 1racy's body was opened,
and he was allowed to look upon her face
for the last time. The other body was in
no condition for inspection and the casket
was not opened at all.
1t was a terrible ordeal for the stricken
Gan, but he bore it remarkably well,
though there was no concealing the keen
ness and depth OF his grief. This even
ing Secretary Tracy received a telegram
through Sir Julian Paunceforte, stating
the queen deeply deplores the calamity to
the Tracy family, and enquiries after him
and the survivors. The secretary replied ::
Tracy begs the British minister to con-
vey her majesty his sincere thanks for her
gracious message of sympathy, and in re-
ply to the kind inquiry to say the surviv-
Ing daughter and grand children are out
of danger.
The physicians attending Mrs and Miss
Wllmerding said this morning that they
passed a quiet and fair night and are bet
ter to day, Mrs. Wilmerding suffered a
great deal from bruises and at times this
morning was hysterical but the doctors
succeeded in quieting her and she fell into
a quiet slumber. Miss Wilmerding is
decidedly better.
Funeral services will be held over the
remains of Mrs. Tracy and Miss Tracy in
the east room OF the white house to-mor-

Perhaps the readers of The LEADER
you'd like to know in what respect Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is better than
any other. We will tell you. When this
Remedy is taken as directed, as soon as a
cold has been contracted, and before it
has become settled in the system, it will
counterfeit the effect of the cold and
greatly lessen its severity, if not etfec.
tually cure the cold in two days time and
it is the only remedy that will do this. 1t
