soon became SO tame as to follow tho
boys wherever they went, eat from
their hands and even poke his head
into their pockets for corn and
wheat.
a few days ago band OF Wild
geese flying over the premises and
making their usual clattcr attracted
the attention OF tho domcstlcatcd
gandcr, which gave an outlandlsh dis.
play of quacking and shrill yells in
goose language that had most
startling EFFECT with tho band flying
past. a fine white goose was seen to
.leaye the band and shoot down until
1t landed In the yard at the side OF

who witnessed the meeting as they
could have found Mt circus. Tho

A Story About Tin Foil

Sop.e years ago tobacconist discov-
cred the utility of tin foil for wrapping
chewing tobaccos. Heretofore paper
had been exclusively used for the pur-
pose, but it did not serve to keep the
moisture of the atmosphere away from
the tobacco nor preserve the natural
moisture of the tobacco from the effects
of dry or heated atmosphere. Paper
also absorbed the aroma of the weed and
was not sufficiently lasting. Therefore
tin foil was used for wrappers. But it
became costly and could only be rolled
to a certain thickness or thinness be-
yond which the ingenuity of man seemed
to find it impossible to go. The fact was
that no rollers could be made to sustain
the pressure necessary to mashing the
tin foil to leaf sufficiently thin to suit
the manufacturer.
Many ingenious inventors struggled
with the proposition for months and
gave up the problem as unsolvable,
when simple workman about the shop
one day, after rolling two sheets to the
customary thinness, put the two sheets
together into the rollers and made both
halves as thin as one was before. This
was as simple as standing an egg on end,
but it created revolution in the manu-
facture of tin foil for tobacconists' use
and made mint of money for the boss
of the discoverer. The man had struck
upon the idea by accident, but the dis
covery was as great and as profitable as
if he had been a great inventor and
spent years of his valuable life over the
ouestion.-Boston Herald

A Church Usher's HumOr.

Even church usher can show keen
sense of humor in the pursuit of his du-
ties. Not long ago prominent young
business man of Rochester promised his
little daughter that she might have a
party ON her birthday. The birthday
happened to come on the Sunday before
Easter, and the little girl came up to her
father the day before to remind him of
his promise. Her father told her that of
course he could not let her have party
on Sunday, but that he would take her
to church instead. As the father him
self was little given to church going,
and the daughter had never been but
once, the idea struck her as absolutely
unique and absolutely delightful, so she
accepted the alternative eagerly-much
to her fathers regret.
They went down to church together in
the morning-Mr. Robinson and little
May-and by dint of careful examining
of charts Mr.. R. located his pew. He
had hardly seated himself when up came
an usher with humorous twinkle in his
eye and wonder in his countenance at
the unexpected appearance of Mr.. R. at
church Him did the usher make straight
for, and leaning over he whispered in a
loud stage whisper:
Il beg your pardon Mr.. Robinson, but
haven't you made mistaken Next Sun
days Easterr'-Quips.

sister, Maria immaculate, to the arch

ored her with an offer of marriage, is
worth reading. The princess, who was
10, and became the archduke's wife two
years later, wrote: MY Dear Cousin
