A Thievish Goose.

Mrs. Bohem, of Dover, N. j., missed
many valuables from her house. A
goose, one of flock owned by Mrs
Bohem, had habit of tapping on the
kitchen door to ask for food. When
the door was opened it would walk into
the kitchen and, after being fed, would
sit down near window in which the
SUN shone. If left alone it would pick
up anything it could and carry it to a
box in a closet and push it under out
of sight. One day it was left alone for
a moment. One of the family entered
the room rather suddenly and caught
it running toward the closet with a
Waterbury watch in its bill The watch
had been lying on a table. A search
was instituted and the hiding place dis
covered. Among the things found were
two gold thimbles, comb, two scarf
pins, several spools of sewing silk and
some lace.-Exchange

James Clemens, prominent young
farmer, who lives near Athens, Ga,
swallowed silver dollar. Clemens was
lying across bed at his home and had
dollar in his mouth. Being very tired,
he suddenly dropped off to sleep. He
awoke very soon afterwards with most
excruciating pain, and it developed that
he had swallowed the money. He arose
Immediately and came to the city. DR..
W. A. Carlton endeavored to draw the
dollar from the throat by means of
an instrument, but owing to the nerv-
GUS condition of the patient he was
forced to postpone the operation day.
The money had passed down the throat
and lodged in the esophagus. Clemens
was placed under the influence of ether.
and after a difficult and dangerous oper-
alton the dollar was brought up through
the mouth--Cor Savannah News

The Raniditv of Thought.

Prof. Donders, of Utrecht, recently
made some interesting experiments in
regard to the rapidity of thought. By
means of two instruments, which he
calls the neomatachograph and
the noeruatachometer, he promises
some important and interest
ing results. His experiments up to date
show that it takes the brain one .067 of
o. second to elaborate a single idea.
Writing in regard to this, Donders says:
Doubtless the time required for the
brain to act is not the same in all indi-
viduals; believe. however, that these
instruments may be perfected until we
will be able to determine the mental
caliber of our friends, without our friends
knowing that we are testing their apt
ness" The professor further says: For
an eye to receive an impression requires
OFT of second, and for the ear to ap-
rreciate a sound, .149 of sound is all
that is necessary; which, however.
that the eye acts with nearly double the
the rapidity of the ear"

In the Nelson household, dear little
girl, with blue eyes, but alas! with
mishapen foot which would cause her
to limp all her life. When grandma read
the message, she went to her own room
without word, and the young aunts
busted themselves with their work,
looking suspiciously moist about the
eyes That night, however, Edith Lee
came limping in with her two crutches,
and was told all about it, because she
was the dear family friend and knew all
the home secrets.

grandma's withered hands.

help it?"
''She will suffer sop' 'It will be so
hard for her when she grows upp' said

said cheerful Edith. ''She will be sorry,
