Value Of Geese.

If geese are allowed to run every
where as used to be the general prac-
tice, says an exchange, they speedily
become q nuisance and destroy more
than they are worth. But they pay for
care and feeding as we'll as any other
farm stock. They may be plucked
every six weeks through the season,
beginning with the first warm weather
in spring, when a portion of the feath-
ers become loose and fall out them
selves. One-third Of a pound Of feath-
ers may be taken from q full grown
goose at each picking, and if we'll fed
afterwards no injury results from
picking one each six weeks until cold
weather puts q stop to this work.
Watch for the time when the feathers
appear to come easily. They are
then said to be GRIPPE" If this time
goes by it will be hard to make a sat-
isfactory picking through the year.
Besides the crop of feathers, each fe-
male goose should hatch dozen or
more young which will pay their keep
by their growth of feathers, and be a
cash article in the poultry market
during the holiday season. A flock Of
geese gives in feathers, eggs, and in
crease a greater proportionate profit
than most kinds OF farm stock.

Value Of Horse Hire.

Few farmers who feed their stock
home grown products, hay or grain,
appreciate the cost of keeping a horse
through the year. The city liveryman
does and reckoning on days when
horses must be idle, he charges what
seems a very high price when in use,
1t needs a constant run of custom to
keep up a good livery, even at these
high prices for horse hire, as there are
always liabilities to accidents, and al.
lowance must be made for these. A
careful teamster informed us that his
team of horses, worth at least 5000,
cost for keeping, shoeing, interest, de.
probation in value and insurance, an
average OF 81 for each working lay in
the year. And he had to contend in
this climate with some days when for
man or team to work out of doors
cost more than he could afford. The
more we study this question the less
excessive the estimate seems. The
teamster gave nearly an hour of each
day in simply caring for his team and
this carefully done, as he did it, was
worth pay whether he charged for Il
or not.--Boston Cultivation.

A Large Order.

Artists sometimes find that persons
who are abundantly able to buy pct
ures are not so we'll able to appreciate
the possibilities and the aims OF art.
The artist Hoppner related that
wealthy stockbroker, with his wife and
five sons and seven daughters, once
called upon him. The gentleman said:
sWell, Mr.. Painter, here we are,
bakers dozen. How much will you
demand for painting the whole lot OF
us, prompt payment'for discount?"
'sWhy, that will depend. replied the
artist, upon the dimensions, style,
composition, and
sob, that's all settled. 2 replied this
person, who evidently followed the ex.
cellent plan OF knowing exactly what
he wanted when he went shopping,

piece, as large as lie, all seated upon
our lawn at Clapham, and all singing,

deed. But he could not get thronoh
with it very well, and finally hestcpped
trying to talk and finished his dinner
IN silence. Mrs. Weston, who inten1~
ed to tell her secret to her husband
this very evening, was too much oc-
cupied w.h her own thoughts to

prise and pleasure to herself in a wav

ibid you bring any work home to-
night?" she asked at length.
81 brought some, but I am not
going to do it," he answered.
Little Mrs. Weston's face fell. Her
surprise would have to wait then.
Weston saw her disappointment
and knowing no reason for it wonder
ed. He even felt suspicious, though he
could not explain the connection.
Mabel" said John at length, awk-
Wardly enough, II have Something
that l must talk to you about. Will
you please to come up-stairs?"
Mabel was a deal surprised, but fol-
lowed wonderingly. John had never
spoken that way to her before; and.
gentle as she was, she felt inclined to
resent 1T. John lighted the drop-lamp
on his DIES in rather deliberate
manner and turned to his wife.
mabel" he said, "will you look at
these letters ard tell me whether YOU
| wrote them?"
Little Mrs. Weston took the papers
and looked at them and from them to
her husband. He was watching her
sharply, and there was something IN
his look that checked her inclination
to go to him.
"Why, yes," she said simply. "But
how did you get them?"
John stood as if petrifed.
"Do you mean to tell me you wrote
those things to that Frenchman? he
gasped at length.
Il wrote them for the professor, if
that is what you mean? They are not
so very bad, are they? 1 tried very
hard to make them as nearly like the
copy as possible"
1t never occurred to John to wonder
how his wife had been able to write in
French.
What copy" he said, little dazed.
"Why, the professors. was trying
to learn French, so as to helpyou, and
that was the professors new method.
l copied the words from him, and he
explained the words afterward.'
Even after this it took quite while
to restore peace. Little Mrs. Weston
was inclined to blame her husband for
doubling her, and she had all the dis
appointment Of losing the surprise
that she had been preparing. But at
last, after she had cried a little on
Johns coat and had been variously
petted and coaxed, she felt better
about it, so she said.
"And now" said John, after har-
mony was restored, II think I will 60
and find the professor"
He went, but his search was invain.
The gallant Frenchman had flown,
and the dingy room looked little less
miserable, for the professor was not
in it.

CENTRAL ASIA,
Account of Its Wonderful Prog
reSS,

The Central Asia exhibition in Mos.
COW furnishes significant evidence OF
the progress made by Russia in the
| civilization and subsection of those
wild people who, only generation
ago, were sunk in the depths OF the
most savage barbarism. The exhi-
bition is held on the upper floor OF the
great historical museum in the old
capital, and is extremely interesting
and instructive. Models of some Of
the principal engineering triumphs of
Annenkoff are among the most prom
inent features. These show how rail-
roads were laid across vast deserts in
defiance of sand-storms, and how
great rivers like the Oxus were bridged
in spite of difficulties which at first
sight seemed insumountable The
inhabitants of these distant regions,
their homes, and their customs are
all illustrated in miniature; and there
is a rich collection OF specimens OF
their arts and manufacturers. The
display of carpets is said to be most
striking, many Of the pieces being es-
pecially remarkable for size, color, de-
sign, and texture There is also
profusion of wooden, cotton, and silk
en- stuffs, much admirable work in
gold, silver, and copper, and an in
finite variety Of ancient and modern
weapons and armor. The evidences Of
the penetrating power OF modern
western civilization are seen in the
glass BOTTLES filled with central Asia
wines and in various toilet articles
hitherto undreamed of in those dis
tant, Ravens.

but therewa a wool of passion-floWers
hanging from one Of the boughs Of a
tree just over him. One of the flowers
was q superb specimen with a dazzling
corolla.
Standing in the shade, I watched
him. He began to poke among the
bramble with bit OF stick. Then
there was movement, and with an
exclamation OF "Did I not say sop
Hammond stepped tenderly aside
while-a great snake crept forth with
an angry hiss and poise OF it's head,
l had time to see that it's body from
the shoulder was beautifully marked,
much as Hammond had described his
plant, but time for no more. The
poor fellow had bent down, and made
q snatch at thereptile; at the same in.
slant the snake had darted at him,
and bitten him over the eye. And
when l had rushed to the place the
snake had gone, and Hammond was
holding both hands to his face and
looking about him with an awfully
dazed expression. The shock had
brought him wholly to his right mind?
On our way back he commented on
his folly as if it had been the action of
some one else. But the pain of the
venom in him had already begun to
tell. Between us we had done what
we could as precautionary measures,
though this was little enough.
He was prepared for what followed
so much prepared that he made me
write his will for him the moment we
reentered the hut. did it on a piece
OF common tissue paper, the only
available material. The swelling all
the time was getting worse and worse;
nor was his agony in the least abated
by the fat and oil which Wan Tan
rubbed upon it.
The poor fellow died at IL o'clock,
after suffering fearfully. Almost his
last words were these, with an at
tempt at g. smile that nearly set me
crying; "What an ass I was, to be
sure, old fellow!"
Before I left the place, and when we
had buried him, I made my way again
to the spot where r.. had met his
doom, and pulled down the spray
OF the passion flower which had
dropped over him when he was bitten.
This flower, dried, and under glass, is
one of various articles that serve as
mementoes Of incidents in my career

TWO PRESIDENTIAL TOURS.

About seventy-fOur years ago there was
made the only Presidential tour that can be
compared In length with that which Har-
rison has in view. and which he has as yet
only partially completed, the middle point
in his journey being still unresched. This
tour was that Of President Monroe, and it was
made not for purposes of pleasure or poit-
ical ambition. as in the instance of Harrison's
tour. but in his capacity as the Commander
in-Chief Of the armies OF the United States.
The war of 1912 had then only recently
been brought 10 a close. and 1t had shown
that the coast line and the northern frontier
were very poorly protected from attack Mr..

BABY'S MEMORY.

A curious instance of dormant memory in
infancy took place in our family. Ny mother
