There is middle aged man in Boston
who walks with cane and wears mutton
leg whiskers. l met him once on Milk
street, and want to meet him just once
more in the flesh. He it was who told me
the way to the postoffice, direction which,
if followed, would have taken me up the
Maine coast nearly to Bar Harbor. He
also told me we had five minutes to catch 4
certain boat. Like a kite with gracefully
diminishing tail the little procession, of
which l was the humble head, tore through
the streets seeking to follow our guides
directions. We few east four blocks and
collided with the public buildings. We
flashed about and sped north by northeast
and entered circular park, where We Ky
rated madly until a policeman camly
placed Us in cab and told US to take our
time as our boat did not leave until 9
o'clock.
As it was then $50, and we had been run
ming eleven blocks with the mercury in tho
seventies, our thoughts reverted to the
middle aged man with rapture. And the
rapture has grown with me until quite
yearn to meet him again and thank him
for all he did to make our brief stay in
Boston so exhilarating. 1t is not much,
perhaps, that a middle aged man with a
cane can do in this stirring, active world,
but if providence only throws a worn and
wasted female tourist in his way OCCASION
ally he need not live in vain. Though born
lame, and having attained an age when
the madcap joys of youth pail a little, as
it were, the opportunity to make things
lively for tourists is his, so long as he lives
in Boston and pretends to be posted on To-
cations and boats.-Chicago Herald.

A CUSTOMS LEAGUE.
GERMANY, AUSTRO HUNGARY,

ceived-Conference to Meet at Berne
to Draft the Treaty,
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
BERLIN, June 20.-The formation of a
great Central European customs league is
an accomplished fact, acknowledged by the
official circle. An exchange of COM
munication between Germany, Aus
tro-Hungary and Switzerland has
resulted in basis of agreement which be-
came known here to-day. Interest in the;
realization of the most Formidable
Zollvereln ever conceived will over
top every other public matter
when the scheme is generally pub
lished. In the meantime the official circle
alone knows that negotiations have at
tanned definitely successful stage. The
terms upon which the commercial union was
agreed are meant to be held secret unit
after the plenipotentiaries prepare the
draft of the treaty. A conference for this
purpose has been arranged to meet at Berne
on July 20. The league is to be
which no one of the controlling
powers will be privileged to form trade
treaty with any outside union unless it first
obtains the assent of the other parties to
the Alliance. 1t is understood here that the
government has obtained the consent of
the federal states of Germany to the de-
nunciation of the treaty of Frankfort, and
to accepting whatever grave consequences
may arise from the hostility of
France to such course. The ex-
istence Of the league will naturally affect
the trading relations of the four contracting
powers, with France, England, the United
States and every quarter of the globe.
How far their independence of action will
be controlled, depends upon the nature of
the decision of the Berne conference.

AUSTIN, TEX, June 19.-For the benefit
of those interested, we have this day de-
cided to publish the following construction

AMONG THE POULTRY.

TAME hens sit better and will fatten
better and easier than when they are
frightened every time something ap-
proaches them.
THE largest geese for market are Sc
cured by mating a Toulouse gander
and an Embden goose; with good feed
ing the cross will grow to large size.
ONE of the advantages with geese is
that if they can be given good pasture
range they will need little extra feed
ing, at least during the growing sea-
son.
DRooPINEss among the young chick
ems is almost n sure indication ot
lice. A little grease or coal oil over
the top of their heads and6unde, their
wings will usually remedy the trouble.
WHENEVER the hens lay thin-shelled
eggs it is almost sure indication that
they need lime. Generally fowls that
run at large do not need to be sup
piled, but those that are confined must
have a regular supply.
