Piucklng and Shearins Geese.

A curious case came before On En-
glish court for adjudication recently.
A puulterer was charged with cruelty
to forty-eight live geese by. plucking
them OF their feathers, and the owner
wes charged with procuring the COM
mission OF the o~ffense. The proceed
ings were taken by the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals. A
witness swore that @after the geese
were plucked their skins turned q pnr-
pie color, and they seemed to be in
pain. They walked about with their
backs up, and shrank when touched"
The practice was shown by defend
snts to be very prevalent, and the So
ciety asked for . nominal fine to put q
stop to it. The defendants said II was
the custom OF the district to pluck the
feathers every six weeks, and il they
were stopped from doing 50 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 q 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 10 . 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 quilts are absent. Shear
ing geese and ducks could be made to
supersede plucking. -American Agri-

Rsw Bass.Balls Arc Made,

Automatic machines for making base
balls have been 30 successfully con-
tTived that their introduction is likely
to constitute 4 practical industry.
Each machine winds two balls ct one
time, in the following way:
"A little para-rubber ball, weighing
three-quarters OF an ounce, around
which one turn has been made with the
end Of . skein Of m old-fashi0ned gray
stocking yarn, ID slipped into the ma
chine, then another, after which the
boy in charge touches . lever, the
machine starts and the winding begins.
The rubber ball is thus hidden in 1 few
seconds, and in its place appears Z
little gray yarn ball that rapidly grows
larger and larger.

committing suicide in Japan are over 80
years Of age. Next on the list come per-
sons between 20 and 80 years OF age. OF
these the greater number turn their backs
on the world in consequence of disap-

July is the favorlte month. During the
period Of six years, from 1883 to 1888 in
