ABOUT GOOSE RAISING.
The Most Profitable Varieties and How to
Rear and Fatten.

Rear and Fatten.
Geese as an article of food are more
highly esteemed in Europe than in this
country, where the turkey occupies
first place in our affections. Neverthe-
less, the juicy meat is most toothsome,
and larger demand for il might
readily be developed. Under suitable
conditions these water fowl are very
profitable. II given the range of q
good pasture, with plenty of water,
they need less care and attention than
turkeys or chickens. They are hardy,
easily raised and less subject to lice,
while their food Is less expensive.
Their feathers should pay the expense
of their keep, the returns from the
birds themselves being clear profit
The Toulouse and the Embden are
the best known breeds of geese, and
there is more money in raising them
than in the small mongrel stock often
seen, as they produce twice as much
meat and feathers and fatten more
readily for market. The Toulouse are
the largest geese known. They have
gray plunage and are quiet and gentle
in disposition.
The Embdens are pure white, cir
cumstance which causes them to be
preferred by many. They are some
what smaller than the Toulouse and
their plumage is more compact. A
good cross for the market is a Tou-
louise gander and Embden goose.
Geese begin to lay when about year
old. The gander is best for breeding
purposes after his second year, and he
will remain in vigor for several sea-
sons Old geese make better mothers
than young ones and should be kept
for breeding and laying. When first
commencing to lay, geese are apt to be
irregular, but as they mature they will
lay regularly and give litter of IF
teen or twenty eggs before attempting

QUEBECS DEFENSES.



The time when Quebec could be called
the Gibraltar Of America and the key
to the ST. Lawrence, and its much
vaunted citadel an impregnable fort
ress, is long since past. A series of re-
markable admissions upon this score
has Just been made In an interview
with New York Sun correspondent
by high official of the Canadian army.
The whole system of Notifications is
so obsolete that they are now positively
valueless, and under the modern
methods OF attack and defense 1t Is
certain that they would never be re-
formed. At distance Of ten miles
from the citadel, whose fortifications,
designed by the duke of Wellington,
cost England some twenty-five million
dollars, modern ships OF war could
silence and destroy the entire fortress
within an hour. The outer walls of
Qnebec, which cost the French govern
ment so much In treasure that one of
the kings inquired IL they were built of
gold, are even more worthless than
the works upon the citadel. Not half
dozen modern guns have been
luOuuteu upon any Oh (ucDccs IOTtluca-
tions within the last century. AS a
fortress the whole place is being
gradually abandoned, and three hun
dred and fifty Canadian troops stationed
in the citadel would be withdrawn, but
for the fact that the ample barrack ac-
commodation affords better facilities
for housing them than those to be had
elsewhere.
There are no possible means for pro-
tecting Quebec from the operations of
a hostile feet, the advance Of which
must be checked by a naval defense at
the mouth of the st. Lawrence or In
the gulf.
One of the results of the neglect of
Quebec's Notifications of late In that
tourists and visitors find IL much
easier to obtain admission to
the citadel and It's works, and
the once famous but now crum-
bling towers, than heretofore, In strik-
ing contrast to Halifax, where no
foreigner Is permitted to view It's
splendid new system of Notifications,
and nobody but officers in uniform Is
admitted inside its citadel.

Hens afford profit from eggs and
flesh, and yet they excel, according to
the breed used, in either direction. he
who wishes to make eggs a speciality
should pay but very little attention to
the market qualities OF the breed,
while those who wish TO raise the best
birds for the market should make eggs
N secondary matter. 1t should be the
aim to secure both, IL possible, but no
breed combines In itself all the re-
quirements for eggs and flesh. TX we
secure breed that comes up to such n
standard it may be lacking in some
other direction, perhaps tender when
young and not hardy. Always, how
ever, have definite object in view.

LOST CENTURIES AGO.


Raic4gh's Colony.
One of the most romantic legends OF
American history In that connected
with the name OF Virginia Dare, the
first white child OF English descent
born on American soil, and the colony
of which her parents were members,
The colony was sent from England by
Sir Walter Raleigh In 1887, and landed
on Roanoke island under Gov. John
White, who soon went back to England
for supplies, and though he had left
his own family on the island. did NOT
come back for three years. When he
came back the colony had disappeared,
thoIgh there was no evidence that ID
had been the victim of violence or,
famine. 1t had simply moved, and had
indicated where It had gone. Gov.
White seems to have been singularly
Indifferent to the fate of his family,
whose place of refuge he seems to have
known, and he did not prosecute any
search for them In person, though Sir
Walter Raleigh sent Ave unsuccessful
expeditions to find the colony.
In the Mid-Continent Magazine
Frances Jones Melton gives the reasons
for maintaining that the descendants
of the lost colony have been found In
the Croatans, on Lumber river, mixed
people of English and Indian descent,
who bear English names, and many Of
whom have the gray eyes, fair cosnplex-
ion and blonde hair of the Anglo-Saxon.
In the reconstruction period the name
OF Henry Bell Lowrie was very famil-
lar. He was classed ms an author, and
was prosecuted and prosecuted by the
authorities OF the reconstructed state,
to whom everybody not OF mixed white
blood was negro. This classification
was vigorously resented by Lowrie and
his people, who are proud of their de-,
scent and have kept themselves distinct
from whites, negroes and Indians alike.
Miss Melton gives a very interesting
account of these peculiar people, aud
the evidence she summarizes makes
strong support for her claims that they.

SENTIMENTAL FLAPDooDLE.
An American Family, Including a Dog,

An American Family, Including a Dog,
Make a Sensation In Paris.
An American family in Paris, accord
ing to LIE Temps, has excited some no.
tice in that sensation loving capital by
its conduct over the death of dog. The
animal was great pet in the family,
and on his falling i'll all the experts in
dog maladies were at once summoned.
As he persistently grew worse, he was
taken to an establishment for the care
of dogs, a sort of private hospital, and
orders given that every attention and
effort should be made to save him.
Members of the family called two and
three times day to inquire for Kwik,
as the dog was called; but, despite all
care, Kwik died, and there was nothing
left for the sorrowing family to do but
bury him. An undertaken was summon
ed and poor Kwik made ready for the
grave. An oak casl1et, fitted into a sec
ond one of lead, was prepared and a
grave made in the private plot of a
friend Of Kwik' master at Vaucresson.
All official red tape was duly complied
with, and on the day of the interment
the funeral cortege comprised three car
riages.
The ceremony ended, the llndertaker's
bill of $50 was duly presented. This
Kwik's mourners found SO very moder-
ate that the sum of $40 was added to
be divided among the gravediggers.
