CLOTHING FOR A GOOSE.
How an Old Gander Came to Be Dressed
in Red Flannel.

How Old Gander Came to Be Dressed
in Red Flannel.
Last New Year s, writes correspond.
ent, very amusing event occurred in
ny poultry yard, where l had flock of
seen geese, which I was planning to
keep through the winter. That morn
ing l fed them as usual, giving them
two quarts of corn taken from barrel
in the shed. During the forenoon l had
occasion to pass through the farm yard,
and, to my dismay, found the old gander
stretched on the snow, apparently dead.
The geese, too appeared unusually
dumpish, as if other deaths might be ex-
pected in a short time.
Annoyed at the loss of the gander, /
resolved to make the damages as light
as possible, and so picked him up, car
ried him to the house, and proceeded to
pick off his feathers. This done, l left
his body at the back door to be car
ried off by one of the men.
II the middle of the afternoon heard
most unusual honl1ing and squawking
in the barnyard, and ran out to see what
was the matter.
Matter enough, surely! There was
the old gander whom l had stripped and
left for dead strutting about among the
geese, who had recovered from their
mornings stupidity and evidently
didn't like the novel appearance of
their former lord and master" They
were chasing the poor; shivering, naked
creature about the yard, giving him
spiteful pecks at every opportunity.
l laughed till the tears came at the
! comical sight. Then / caught the poor
creature, carried him to the house, and
clothed him in red flannel, which l
sewed on. He was a funnylooking
gander.
The geese liked him little better than
before, and pecked and chased him SO
badly that l kept the unfortunate biped
by himself for few days, till he had
become little accus toned to his red
flannel plumage. After that he had
little difficulty in recovering his former
! dignity and prestige.
What had caused the seeming death
of the poor gander was soon apparent.
The mischief was in the corn barrel.
One of the farm laborers, an excellent
fellow, save that once in three or four
months he would have "a little bit of
good time" as he expressed it, had hid
den his bottle of whisky, with which he
intended TO celebrate New Years, in
the corn barrel over night. The cork
came out the contents escaped and
saturated the corn, and my unfortunate
geese had the little bit of good
time"
1t was an amusing, yet pertinent
temperance lesson to the man, and it
was six months before he again INDUCED
his appetite [ wish I could write that
he completely reformed, but hereditary
faint and habit were too strong to be thus
overcome. The gander wore his flannel
suit all winter, and was spoken of ever
after as the red flannel gander."-

A MEAN HUSBAND.
How He Made His Bright Wife Feel De-
cidedly Small and Cheap.


His wife had just made remark, in
the wit of which sho experienced feel
ing Of pride. The Au@oa,jt was the butt
Of the wit, and he j1ecanle ;.ngry.
| mention this because cases of a hus-
band becoming angry are extremely
rare, and new instances should always
be recorded with scrupulcus care.
The husband sniled-with pain The
wife saw the pain in the smile, and
hailed a writhing victim. She therefore
turned to Mr. r. w. Smith, who was a
guest at the time, and made another re-
Election on her husband
She believed that having made two of
these remarks, it was q close call if she
were not gifted in epigram. A thought
of Madame de Maintenon crossed her
mind and made her giGdy.
''You are very funny said the with
ing husband
The wife tossed her head and pleaded
guilty, with a pleased lock at the I'M
comfortable guest who was hugely ell
joying the whole affair, but who, in
afterward telling of the scene, said that
such things make d person feel very i'll
at ease.
''Its, you are very witty" said the
husband; IF / could write down all you
say it would be worth two million dol
lars-to write il down"
Here the guest, who has the height OF
good breeding, taetluily interrupted, by
Setting that he would rake ''scIla more
soup. Williston Fish, in Puck.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

The collection of Corean books late
Iy acquired by the British Museum pos
ssesses considerable interest and impor-
tance. 1t consists of Corean editions of
the Chinese classics, of native historical
works and of novels.
The name Of Pushkin is exceeding
1y popular throughout Russia Every
anniversary of the death of the poet, who
fell in an unfair duel fifty years ago, is
.re1igiously observed, while the name Of
his murderer is abhorred.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett

within less than year and four months.
John @. Nicolay, one Of the writer's
of the Century life Of Lincoln, is the
son of German peasants and began his
career as q boy in country store at
four dollars month: he regarded him
self lucky when he was promoted from
that position to be printers devil in the
office Of the Pike County Free Press,
and gradually worked himself UP to be
editor and proprietor; he is now Mar
shall of the Supreme Court of the United
States.
Robert Christy, of Washington, an
able lawyer, Formerly Of Ohio, has pub
Ished book entitled Proverbs and
Phrases of ALI Ages The work is the
outcome of twenty years of effort and
study on the part of Mr.. Christy. He is
an accomplished 1inguist and has done
a vast amount Of reading. He has come
to the conclusion 4nat it is practically
impossible to trace a proverb back to its
origin. The birth of nearly every pop
ular saying tool place in prehistoric
tines, SO far as scholarly research can
discover. Mr.. Ghristy's studies have
given to his conversation and speeches
striking epigramnla5ic brilliancy.
"A London gossip gives the follow
ing story as illustrative of Lord Tenny-
sons peculiar manners in society,"" In
his early days, when he had no greater
horror than that Of being lionized, a
great lady wished to introduce to the
laureate a musician who had set some
of his songs TO music. A party was
given for the occasion. The laureate
appeared, and the musician sang his
songs to him with every power of ex-
preston that he knew how to produce.
at the end of the performance every
body waited the word of the poet
There was blank silence. The hostess
feared that the songs had not produced
a good impression The silence became
agonizing. At length, from the corner
where Tennyson sat came voice chok-
ing wi6h emotion: 'Do you not see that
i am weeping?"

TRlUMPHS OF INVENTION.
They Are Due to Hard Work Stimulated BY
Desire For Wealth.


aDesire For Wealth.
The traditions of great discoveries
that have come by chance are, for the
most part, myths True, a lucky accident
may occasionally give a hint to an in
ventive mind that will help towards
long-contem plated contamination, but
suck an occurrence is only a link in
chain of circumstances all tending to a
common end. Sir Isaac Newton got such
hint in his philosophical researches,
when, on q certain occasion, he noted
the falling of an apple. He had seen
many apples faR before that time, no
doubt, and no day OF his previous life
could have passed without present ting to
his sight similar occurrences, having the
same relation to the object of bis study
But that particular apple happened to
fall and be noticed by him just when
bis study of the greas test Of all philo-
sophical problems had reached the right
point to make the object lesson valua-
bic. Tradition gives another alleged
accident, the familiar story of the ket-
tie, as the turning point in the discov-
cry or invention of the steam engine,
but he who studies the life and works
of James Watt will find that there was
nothing Academia in the kettle acct
dent. 1t was but link in the long
chain, all of whose links he wrought by
patient toll.
All the great 5riumphs Of invention
that are now employed as factors in
human progress have reached their pres
ent development by successive steps.
The telegraph of Edison's time, although
like that Of Morse in it's general features,
is very unlike that in detail, and in the
manner Of operating it, single inyen-
ton Of Edison, not by any means an ac-
cident, quadrupled the capacity of all
the wires strung, or thereafter to be
strung. The engines that drive great
ships across the Atlantic in less than six
days are the result of the work of sue
cessive generations of brainy men. Mil
lions have been lost in experiments,
change has followed change, one i'm
provement has succeeded another, until
the marine engine of our time bears
little resemblance to that Of thirty years
ago. Go into the pressroOm Of great
newspaper, and see the printing ma
chimes at work, and you see the results
of hundreds of inventions, the progress
of generations. Accident had nothing to
do with it. All has come from work,
work of the best brains, stimulated by
the desire to get fame and fortune

to defy the inclemency of the place.
When he commenced spee king he
grasped the lapels OF his coat in an awk-

more earnest all appearance of awk-
