Charles Foster Failed.

FosToRIA, o., May 27.-Charles Fos-
ter, Secretary of the Treasury under
President Harrison, made an assign
ment Friday. His liabilities are un-
known at present.
Mr.. Foster was in business in Fostoria
as a dry goods merchant during the
war and at its close he helped organize
the Fostoria National Bank. By shrewd
speculation in real estate he became
wealthy and in 1879, when elected Gov
ernor of Ohio for the first time, he was
reputed to be worth one million dollors.
During the next four years he lost heav-
lily in Lake Superior copper mines. In
natural gas and street railway at Find
lay during its "boom' he invested
largely and when the bubble burst he,
with many others, was caugh. for many
thousands Of dollars. He has also lost
by indorsing notes for business and po-
itical friends. Since then he has at
tempted to recoup his losses, but only
became more deeply involved.
The Foster Banking Company which
has also assigned, according to the last
issue of the Bankers Almanac, had
capital of only $4,000, surplus of g.
600, and undivided profits of $1,000.
The early assignments included the
banking house of Foster & Co., the
wholesale grocery house of Davis &
Foster, and Charles Foster individually
with J. B. Gromley, president of the
First National Bank of Bueyrus, as as
signee. The affairs of the Mambourg
Crocker Calcined Glass Company, the
Brass and Iron Company, and the Fos-
toria Light and Power Company are
also involved. Just now everything is
in chaotic condition and it is impossible
to get figures or any estimate of the
outcome Of the failure.

Rem aims Of Jefferson Davis Removed

New ORLEANS, La, May 29.-Early
Saturday morning the body of Jeffer-
son Davis, in It's copper receptacle, was
transferred to q magnificent oak casket
With brass trimmings. The cedar cof-
fin in which the remains originally
rested was returnsd to the vault, and
it was closed with the marble slab upon
which was the fac simile of the sigma
tu,e Of Jefferson Davis. and it will re-
main in this condition as long as the
tomb Of the Army Of North Virginia
stands.
The transfer was made early and
privately, at the family's request. The
body was naturally decomposed, but
was in fair preservation and the face
was recognizable. A guard of the Army
of North Virginia remained at the tomb
al day.

MONEY IN GEESE.
With Proper Accommodations They Can
he Made Very Profitable.

WEh Proper Accommodations They Can
he Made Very Profitable.
Apparently the majority of farmers
either know little about geese, or else
are prejudiced against them. At all
events, we seldom see gocd-sized flock
of these grand water fowl upon our
farms nowadays. With proper ac-
commodations, geese can DC made very
profitable stock, and little trouble or
expense to the owner. Geese are graz
ing animals, as truly as horses, cattle
or sheep; and plenty of pasture is need
ed to cause them to thrive well at little
cost Indeed an abundance of grass is
far more necessary than pond or lake;
for, although geese delight to sport in
good-sized stream of water, they will
grow finely and thrive first-rate if sim
ply water for drinking purposes be
alone available.
The goslings are not especially diff
cult to rear, although they are some.
what tender in the early part of their
existence. Dampness must be guarded
against. If found in damp. wet loca-
ton, or allowed to remain out in a
shower, it will very likely prove fatal
tothe goslings. Hens are preferable to
geese for incubating purposes, since the
latter are very clumsy in their move
ments and very apt to step upon and in
jure the little goslings. For the first
three or four weeks / would keep the
goslings in confinement near the house;
they can be tended and looked after
much better, and they will not be
harmed by rains or dews. Feed often
and literally upon oatmeal, bran, and
corn meal moistened, milk, chopped
clover, etc, and do not neglect to place
bits of tender sod IN the pen with the
goslings, as the latter will delight to
pick at both roots and blades. As soon
as the permanent feathers have been
grown, the goslings may be set at lib
erty and allowed to roam at pleasure,
for then rains or dews will have no eff
feet upon them, and they have become
the most hardy of farm stock and
the least liable to disease. From this
time on the most of the growth will be
made upon clover and grass pasturage.
Little or no grain isrequired until time
comes for finishing off, for market.
Then corn for two or three weeks will
put these fowls in grand shape, so that
they will bring good prices, a consider
able portion of which is profit.
We have two improved breeds Of
geese that are most excellent for the
purposes of the farmer. They are the
Toulouse and Embden; the former came
from France, and the latter from Hol-
land. Individuals of these breeds at
tain the noble weight of twenty pounds
apiece at maturity. As long as a fine
gander can be bought for five dollars
or good pair of geese for eight or ten
dollars, let no one breed common mon
grel stock. just estimate what an in
creased profit even two or three pounds
extra per head upon flock of young
geese will give the breeder, and yet a
large, vigorous, pure-bred gander
should make much more than this
difference, when crossed upon ordinary,
mixed goose stock. Only breed the
best.-M. Sumner Perkins. in Ohio

The COLORS OE BUOYS.
Each One Bears Message to the Passin
Sailor.

Each One Bears a Message TO the Passing
Sailor.
When you enter any harbor in the
world where the channel is marked by
buoys you will find that those on your
right, as you pass in, are painted red,
and those on your left black. If you
should see one painted in red and
black horizontal bands the ship should
run as close to it as possible, because
that indicates the center of narrow
channel.
Buoys with red and black vertical
stripes always mark the end of spits
and the outer and inner ends of ex-
tensive reefs where there is channel
on each side. When red and black
checkers are painted on a buoy it
marks either rock in the open sea or
an obstruction in the harbor of small
extent, with channel all around.
If there are two such distractions
and a channel between them the buoy
on the right of you will have red and
white checkers and the one on your
left will have black and white checkers
When a wreck obstructs the channel
a green buoy will be placed on the sea
side of the wreck, with the word
wreck" plainly painted on it in white
letters, provided there is clear chan
mel all around it; otherwise, an even
number will be painted in white above
the word wreck when the buoy Is
on the right side of the channel and an
odd number if the buoy is on the left.

LACE MAKING.
A School Near Venice Where the Art In
Taught.

Taught.
A school of about three hundred and
fifty Italian girls, wearing the national
costume and all industriously at work
on exquisite lace, is q pleasant and in
teresting place to visit. So writes
Nine. de Boret, who visited lace
making school at Burano, an island
in the Adriatic sea n few miles from
Venice. The girls, who are from ten
to eighteen years of age, sit in great,
barely furnished, well-lghted rooms,
on low chairs, holding their lace
frames on their knees.
They wear n short, bright-colored
pett;coat, a green, red or orange fichu
crossed on the chest, silver rings in
their ears, and around the neck bead
or coral necklaces. They have dark
eyes, teeth like pearls, smiling red
lips, oval faces, fine profiles, and black
hair worn knotted in the back of the
neck with a silver pin by the older
girls, or in long ringlets by the younger
ones.
They draw their needles slowly and
gracefully back and forth, and grave
ly except when some girlish joke raises
storm of smothered laughter.
The teachers superintend the work
carefully, and the pupils make fine
Venetian, Brussels, Alencon and Ar
gentan point and guipure laces. They
sometimes fill orders for wells worth
five thousand francs. A lace drapery
which was shown Nine. de Boret repre-
sented a vast amount of work. Seven
months had been spent in making the
foundation for it.
The price of the laces is fixed ac-
cording to the time spent in making
them, the rate being franc day.
The more sl1illful pupils add to their
income by doing lace work at home
also.
They all like the school, and though
the pay seems small for such fine work,
it secures them n comfortable living,
for little money goes a long way in
the island of Burano. Queen Mar
gherita of Italy has been generous
patron of the school

MILK CARTS IN FRANCE.
They Are Always Drawn by Dogs an,
Women.

They Are Always Drawn by Dogs and
Women.
No matter how much an American
has heard of foreign milk carts drawn
by dogs, and often by dogs and women,
it always seems odd to see such a
strange team, says Harper's Young
People. The dogs have pretty harness
es, and draw bright green carts, but
they look really unhappy, as if they
had no pleasure in their work. They
tret along with their tongues out Of
their mouths, and when they meet an
other dog they cannot even stop to
bow to him. An American child would
say: ''Poor doggie!' 1t is said that
some countries have made laws prohib-
iting dogs from working as milk-car-
riers, and in few years dog milkmen
may be a sight of the past. 1t is queer
that there are so many kinds of milk
cans in the world. In America milk is
carried in glass bottles and in small
round tin cans. In England a pretty
tin milk-pail is used, furnished with a
brass handle and a wide brass hinge to
the cover. The handsomest milk-cans
in the world are the great brass cans
which are seen in the little European
milk carts They glitter like gold, and
the froth of the white milk makes pearl
rims upon the well-filled cans. 1t is no
wonder that American artists take
these cans home to shine in dark cor
ners of their studios.

VARIETY NECESSARY.
A Fact Not ns Thoroughly Understood ~
1t Should BE.

1t should BE.
One article fed to stock may contain
all of the clements necessary to main
tain an animal life, get il will be an ex-
ceptional case when any one material
can be considered the most economical
TO feed The principal reason for this
is that some of the clements will be in
excess rs compared with others An
animal will use only certain proper
ton of the different elements, so that
if more than is needed is in the food it
is more or less wasted. The most eco
nomical feeding is that which supplies
the elements of nutrition in the right
proportion to secure the results Cor
which it is supplied. II is for this rea-
son that in nearly all cases and with all
kinds of stock good variety is essen
tial to the securing of the best results.
But the Object for which the food is
supplied must be considered in deter
mining the ration to be given. Some
materials are best adapted to growth
and others are fattening. One is best
to secure 4 good growth and develop
ment of bone and muscle while another
is best to finish for market. One will
help to increase the quantity of milk
while another will add to the quality.
Corn is acknowledged to be one of the
very best rations for fattening stock of
any kind while oats is one of the very
best single rations to feed for muscle
alone.
knowledge of the nutritive value
of different materials is valuable in
feeding, Us in the majority of eases the
work can be done more economically.
To secure the best results, variety
should com 5ine the elements of animal
nutritious in the right proportions.
This will be found in 4 mixed ration of
the cereal grains and grasses.
Corn is n heating food and can nearly
always be used to q good advantage in
the winter ration, but less is needed in
summer except with fattening stock.
Hogs can be fattened very rapidly now
if they can have the run Of clover and
are given all the corn they will eat.
Cows that are to give the largest flow
of milk can be given bran with ground
oats and corn meal during the summer
even when on good pasturage. Oats
can be made the principal ration of the
work teams because oats supply the
elements needed for bone and muscle.
Yet bran mash once week with a
change of other materials, will help ma
terially in keeping up good condition.
No set rules should be followed as
the materials grown on the farm must
in a measure determine what the rations
shall be. They will vary with, locality.

RI.ks from Corn Feeding.

Exclusive corn feeding is the cause OF
more losses of hogs than any other
thing. 1t is because corn is perhaps
one Of the hardest grains to digest un-
less ground and cooked. Even then 1t
is too rich, and liable to be overeaten,
thus causing indigestion. 1t is better
to feed growing pigs milk with mix
ture of oats and fine wheat middlings
until they are ready to fatten- The
best pork is made in this way.-Rural

the third six or seven months; the
fourth six months; the fifth-when the
work is growing very complicated

months and the seventh and last class
about one year, making about five years
in all. AT the end of the five years each
boy has made twelve watches, which
are his own property.
