Ai!d C,oss Forsakeslts Freed ON
for a Barnyard.
Last Winter d. w. Little, one of
the adobe farmers on the west of
town, shot into a band of geese; a
white gander was struck and one
wing broken. Mr.. Little took the
goose home and gave him to his boys,
who doctored his wing, and he 500
became so tame as to follow the boys
about wherever they went, eat from
their hands and even poke his head
into their pockets for corn or wheat.
A few days ago a band of wild geese,
flying over the premises and making
their usual chatter, attracted the
attention OF the domesticated gander,
which gave an outlandish display of
q%uacking and shrill yells IN goose
language that had q most startling
effect with the band flying past. A
fine white goose was seen to leave the
band and shoot down until it landed
in the yard at the side of the pet, and
the meeting was demonstrative to an
exciting degree. Their Cabling, quack.
ing and amusing antics afforded as
much fun for the boys who witnessed
the meeting as they would have found
ina circus. The new arrival, which is
probabrTa mate OF the now tame
goose, refuses. to leave, but will fly
over the fence wheiI, the two are APP

The Tomato in Varieties.

There are unnumbered varieties OF
the tomato, OF almost all sizes and
colors; but the standard red Or pur.
pie sorts are those which find the
most favor and are principally grown.
OF these, New England cultivators
give the preference to the Acme, Per-
lection, Trophy and General Grant,
with perhaps. @ few others about
equally popular. In different sections
other varieties are more generally
produced, On account OF being found
better adapted to the peculiarities of
soil and climate. Fancy varieties in
clude the red and yellow currant, the
red and yellow plum, and the peach
tomato-the latter being very nearly
the size and color OF a ripe peach.
These are used i'll making sauces and
preserves, but are not widely popular.
The standard varieties are either red,
or yellow, the red being much more
numerous, though the cultivation of
the purple sorts has largely increased
during the past few years, owing to
their excellent havoran their plump,
meaty growth.-Good Housekeeping,

Here Vans mind grew slightly hazy,
and the hand that held the cigar drop
ped over the armchair, perilously
close to the pile OF paint-rags that Van
always insisted on heaping promiscu-
ously round his den.
When next he opened his eyes they
rested or a charming girlish figure, all
fur-clad, from the cap on her bronze
gold curls to the shoes on her slender
feet. The lovely face, turned toward
Van, wore an expression of sternness,
evidently foreign to it, as she quietly
awaited his pleasure to break the ST.
lence.
"Why, who-7" stammered Van,
greatly startled. "What-? How?
Who on earth?" then making a des.
perate attempt at coherency, "Who
are yon?"
His visitor smiled with sudden, ir-
repressihle amusement, as she replied,

binary occurrence, II am the Spirit of

idea of q man SO young giving
vent to such bitter, misanthropical
sentiments! Shame upon you! Are
you better than the rest ofmankind,"
with growing severity, "that you need
feel so aggrieved over your woes? Do
they exceed the sum of human en-.
durance? Whose fault is it that you
are solitary" becoming almost vitu-
perative. Haven't you kept your
self to yourself and obstinately re-.
PEELED all advances?"
Van looked somewhat dazed, but
the spirit kept on relentlessly. do
you remember the pretty model you
snubbed SO numerically, when she
seemed to take q little interest in
your affairs?"
Van shrugged his shoulders dissent
ingly. "She wanted to nirt with me-"
he muttered. !.
"Nell, what ii she did?" queried the
Spirit, smothering q dimpling smile in
it's birth. 1T wouldn't have hurt
you. Then there was your chum, up
on whom you churlish1y turned your
hack when he came too close"
"Yes!" grumbled Van, because he
wanted to steal my method"
The Spirit gazed at him with some
disgust.

A Little G,rrs Dress In sumatra.

The ladies OF Sumarta wear the
richest dresses OF any women in the
world. They are made of gold and
silver, and so thickly set with precious
stones that you wonder they are not
too heavy to be worm with comfort.
When o little Sumatra girl reaches
the age when she begins to wear
grown up" gown like her mothers,
her first dress is such an elegant af-
fair that you feel sure, if you have
seen it, that the youthful owner could
never bear to 20 back and wear little
girls clothes again. Her mother, who
has this fine gown in charge, orders
that the gown he woven OF gold wire
as fine as a thread until there is a sufi-
Gent quantity Of this cloth-of-.old for
q dress. The most skiIlful needle
women are now set at work fastening
sprays Of coral into the cloth-of-gold,
and then all is fashioned into a gown
for the little girl.

HOW IT FEELS 70 DIE,
No Living Man Can Tell Anything
About II.

About It.
II was reading an article on how it
feels to die" said DR.. w. H. Epworth
now at the Southern. "Noliving man
can tell how death feels, or whether
the actual act of dissolution is &C.
complished by emotion or not. A
man who, through disease or casual
ty, has lost consciousness-has be-
come, to all appearances dead-and
is then resuscitated. cor really tell US
nothing about it, for he did not die.
The machinery did not come to a
complete standsti|l-the life force did
not leave the body. 1t may be that
the poet hasdipped deeper than the
physician into the awful mystery Of
death. 1t may be that he has describ.
ed terrors not visible to the eyes of
the medical man, who interests him
self only in the animal mechanism. l
have stood by the deathbed of men
who told me they were going to hell,
and saw them pass peacefully to their
long sleep. have looked at. their
dead faces a few minutes later, and
saw thereon a look OF fear, of horror,
that was not visible when the heart
gave its last faint throb and then
stood still. r
ri have had others tell me almost
with their last breath that they were
going to heaven. They passed away
with wan, weary faces that were pitt
full to contemplate, but before they
became rigid q smile sweet as IN an
gels dream oyerspread the pallid
features. The deep lines of suffering
faded out, and the aged looked almost
youthful, the weary and worn became
radiant. What causes this change,
which every physician has noticed?
When does death occur? We say
when the animal machinery stops,
when the breath and pulse ease. That
is what the doctor calls death, but it
may not really be death after all.
The spirit may not leave the body,
may not take it's departure from
earth with the last breath, the last
faint heartbeat. tt may cling for
some moments to it's shattered tene.
ment before it takes flight, before it
faces those terrors or enters into
those tr~anscendent glories which the
poet has painted. The death of the
body, with which doctors only deal,
may be but the prelude to a more i'm.
portant act, the departure Of the
spirit. Science has gone far, but it
has not yet lifted the veil of mystery
which the Almighty has hung over the
couch OF death."-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

How Swiss Children Go to Sleep.

How Swiss Children Co to Sleep.
The Swiss people are very artistic
in their tastes, and evcl the poorest
Swiss is neat and tasteful in his home
life. Many OF the ways OF the Swiss
are as pretty as their fanciful ideas
of building houses. A Swiss mother
believes that her child will have bad
dreams unless it is crooned to sleep.
And SO, bending low over the drowsy
little ones couch, she sings. soothing
songs of green pastures and still wat
ers until the little child has breathed
itself peacefully into the land of Nod.
