The Geese Got Drunk.

Sallie Johnson, a colord wo-
man living near Salisbury, had
a rather novel experience with
two geese Tuesday. She had
a bottle of brandy cherries,
which, on INVESTIGATION, she be
lieved to be spoiled. She threw
the cherries in the yard, and two
geese belonging to Sallie came
along ond devoured them.
What was her amazement then
to go into the yard Wednesday
and find the geese breathless,
quackless>>-stone dead. she sup
posed. She picked the feathers
from the inanirnate geese and
therew them into a ditch near
by.
If she was surprised Wednes-
day morning, she was struck
dumb with amaZement when the
two geese, without a feather to
speak for their genuiness, walk
ed to her back door and began
to chatter for food. They had
eaten the entire bottle of brandy
cherries, become drunk and only
sobered up after being stripped
of their plumage. This is all &C
tual event, and just one of the
many strange things that are
happening daily.---HeadHght.

Profit Out of Fun.

There are many ways of get
ting profit out of fun, but the
latest is given in the following:
"W. J. Green, Pittsburg gro
Ger, having had his supply Of city
water shut of as the result of a
dispute with the rate assessor,
bethought himself of a well in
his yard and a tank on his roof
To fill the one from the other
seemed to necessitate a lot of
work, done either by Mr.. Green
or by his coal heap, but, after
prolonged study of the situation
he rugged up a swing over the
we'll, connected it in some subtle
manner with the pump handle
and then invited the children of
the neighborhood to come and
have lots of fun. They came and
had it, and the tank keeps full
all the time"

100 YEARS IN JAIL.

Judge Ewing has pronounced
one of the most peculiar senten>
fences upon Thomas Jackson
colored, that have been heard in
the criminal court in Chicago in
years. He sentenced the man on
FIVE different charges, directing
that as soon as Jackson had
reached the limit on one he shall
begin the service of another.
The charges against the man
were burglary, and the limit of
punishment in each case is TWEEN
ty years. Judge Ewing said that
Jackson deserved the full limit
III each case, and that he would
SO recommend to the prison au-
thorities.
Jackson broke into five differ
ent residences OH the night of
December ed last. At the
house of c. Clristianson he was
heard by Lena, the sixteen-year~
old daughter. She screamed and
Jackson slashed her in the face
with a razor. In the residence
of Herman Snhr he was attack
ed by Mrs. Suhr, who, in the
had one Of her fingers
nearly bitten off.

RAN AWAY WITH A
LOCOMOTIVE.
Two Reckless Young Men Steal
it and Come Near Driving 1t
into an Express.

Tom" Daily, two half drunken
and reckless daredevils, attemp-
ted a deed a few nights ago
which might have cost them
their own and imperilled the
lives of many others. About 9
o'clock at night they strolled IN
to the Kingston yard of the Del
aware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad. and, seeiug an en-
CINE at the entrance Of the round
house, conceived the idea Of
having little ride Of their own.
The engine and heavy freight
puller had just been brought out.
Steam was up and she was ready
to start down the road. No one
was on board and they had a
clear field. The men in theyard
were startled by hearing the en~
CINE whistle at the same time
jump forward, her wheels slips
ping on the track, for the reCk-
less men had jerked the throttle
wide open.
As the yard men ran toward
the locomotive the men III the
cab pulled the sand lever, and
the wheels grinding into it got
hold of the rails and the engine
darted forward, out Of the yard
and OH the main track, North
bound.
The men, who saw the engine
disappear in the darkness, were
for moment panic stricken, tor
the New York express, South
bound on the same track, was
due III a few minutes, and if the
two met, both going at full speed
there was sure to be great loss
of life. Only for moment were
they Mortified. While some ran
to the telegraph office, others
chased the engine up the track
shouting, Stop her ! Stop her =
The cries reached the ears of
three brakemen, who were going
home. AS the engine bore down
upon them they thought she was
a runaway and acted quickly.
Speeding along the side Of the
track, they gained what Roadway
they could, and then, as the en-
CINE Whizzed alongside, they
sprang for the steps.
One missed and rolled over
and over along the track unhurt,
but Davis and Jessup caught the
bars and swung themselves to
the tank. AS they did SO, Gun
ningham and Daily sprang from
the cab and disappeared i'll the
darkness. Quickly the brake
men clanbored over the tank,
and in a few seconds had the
engine under control.
When the engine was stopped
light flashed around a curve
about a mile away. 1t was a
headlight Of the New York ex-
press, but the train found a clear
track kefore it, and when it drew
into the Kingston station the
runaway engine was safe on the
turn table, being headed South
for its trip down the road. Moth
ing has been seen of Cunning
ham OF Daily, and the police are
still looking for them.

An Index to a Horses Cha acter.

% Phrenology as applied to
horses is a new and interesting
study, and the following maxim
should be carefully studied by
all lovers and owners Of horses:
EVERY horse carries an index to
his temper and intelligence in
his face. The teachable, tract
able animal is broad and flat be-
tween the eyes; the bony ridge
Of his face dishes slightly from
the point where the face narrows
towards the nostrils. His ears
are we'll set, sensitive, and tar
apart, with a we'll defined ridge
of bone extending across the top
Of the head between them. Al
ways feel for this ridge in judg>
ing a horse. The eye should be
large, clear and bright, with a
prominent ridge Of bone along
the inner and upper edge of the
socket. Westminster Gazette.

How to Write For Publication.

If at all possible, have your manu-
script typewriter, and under no cir
cumstances should you roll the sheets
when preparing them for the mails.
There are number of large publishing
houses which positively refuse to touch
rolled manuscripts. The very first i'm
preston created by such manuscript
is one of extreme irritation. A rolled
proof is pretty nearly as discouraging.
Many printers still follow the annoying
practice of rolling their proofs.
Let the young writer remember that
however powerful or pathetic his liter
airy production, however evident its
strength and beauty, those with whom
its acceptance or rejection rests will re-
gard it solely from the viewpoint Of
business.
Every printing establishment of any
note has its methods and customs as re-
CARDS orthCgraphy, the use Of capitals
and of punctuation. As rule it is hest
to leave doubtful points to the printer.
Any little deviation desired may be
easily remedicd i'll the proofs
Paragraphs should be boldly indi-
Gated by setting the line well back in
the copy. Extract matter included III
the text should he clearly shown, either
by making it down the side with Il
vertical line from beginning to end or
by setting the whole well back within
the compass Of the text. Such matter is
commonly set i'll slightly smaller type.

motifs, squares lozengcs, stripes or circles.
They may be placed crosswise or length
wise. In fact, there is ample room for in
dividual taste to exert itself.
With bodiccs differing from the skirt in
color the skirt worn is usually of black
silk or satin This is now considered less
"dresscd" than costumes of the same ma
terial and color throughout but the scpa-
rate bodice fashion is too convenient and
becoming to DO allowed to sink into OBJ
security yet, and many individual corsagcs
are still seen.
The newest thing for bicycle wear in
Paris is short sack to DO carried on
long excursions as protection against
possible rain or cold winds. 1t is of plaid
waterproof cloth, and is quite straight,
both in the back and in front 1t is pro-
vided with an adjustable hood lined with
satin, which may be drawn up over tho

How to DraDe n DOORWAY,

Many single doors are using only one
curtain, the material bought by the
yard and the fringe scwcd Oh. No rings
are used. The rod is put OH inside the
doOrways, with space above sufficient
to Permit the portiercs to be thrown
over the pole once or twice, according
to the width of the doorway, one end
reaching to the floor, the other quite
short. The fabric can be wound SO
loosely over the pole that the "sag-
giDg' in the center will form graceful
curves.
Double doorways, of course, use two
curtains, and many are hung in the
way mentioned, coming from the cell
ing. The most OF them, however, are
put on ENJOYABLE cranes" fastened in.
side the doorways. These cranes are
fastened like brackets in either side Of
the doorway and lack several inches of
touching each other. They swing in
and out with the portieres Oh them
with the greatest convenience to pass
ers.
Among the most popular materials
for doorway curtains in drawing rooms
are the French empire brocades in blue,
pink or yellow, with lace curtains Of
fine handiwork hung over one side.

How to Tell Oriental Rugs.

A test of the genuineness of an orien-
tai rug or carpet, which Constantine
pie gentleman says is sure, is to exam
inc carefully to see If each stitch is
knotted, instead of trusting to those
easily put Oh marks of age-patches,
holes and crooked places. If the stitch
is knotted and firm, the rug is genuine,
but if the stitch can be pulled out it is
imitation, no matter how closely the
original rug may have been copied in
pattern or color. An oriental dealer
test is to drop live coal on the rug
and when it has burned little to re-
move it quickly with the fingers. If the
searching entirely disappears, leaving
the original colors unaltered, it is proof
of the genuineness of the rug.
