OLD B1RDs.-A Georgia correspon-
dent sends to The Youths Companion
the true story of two old geese: Mrs.
Nancy Elder, = lady living near Grif-
fin, Spaulding county, Ga, has pair
of geese that were given to her as
bridal present by her mother AZ years
ago. They were procured for that
purpose from a neighbor, and are sup
posed to be at least half-century old.
The old goose has faithfully contribu.
ted eggs to the family table for all
these years, having laid last spring,
and appearing to be good for some
time yet. The gander has not been so
fortunate. He lost one eye some years
ago, and recently small Negro boy
knocked out the other one. In his
blind old age, he has been deserted,
for Mrs. Elder has just bought Mother
Goose new mate.

SOME COSTLY BEDS.
Rich New Yorkers Aping the Couches
of Royalty.

Rich New Yorkers Aping the Couches
of Royalty.
When really pretty beds can be
purchased for SIS and $40, $4,000
seems rather large figure to expend
for that single article of furniture.
But it is not an unusual price for q
wealthy woman to pay either to have
a bedstead especially designed for her,
or to have brought, for her, from Eu-
ropean palaces, antique beds of rare
workmanship.
There is a perfect craze for genuine
empire beds. Two of these, recently
imported for a Fifth avenue matron,
cost the moderate sum of 81 200 each.
These little empire beds stand so low
that to get the full effects of their
beauty it is necessary to place on a
dais. The drapery used for them is
of the Watteau and Dresden china
patterns in the delicate tints of the
empire period.
Mrs. Oliver P. Belmont, Mrs. Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt, Mrs. Brokaw and
Mrs. Barber possess the most beautiful
of these imported beds-beds that
have been owned by French kings
and queens and decorated by artists
whose works are still famous on both
continents.
Carved bedsteads of Indian teak
wood are highly priced. They are
usually brought to this country fin
ished with the old-fashioned four pos
ters which run nearly to the ceiling
and furnish support for rare cashmere
drapery.
Probably the most novel bed in New
York is owned by Mrs. Van Rensselaer,
Cruger. 1t is shaped like huge
swan, fashioned from her own design,
and made of white enameled wood.
The curtains of white muslin are held
in the swans beak and draped ut
either side with broad white ribbons.
The bed stands on a large, white fur
rug and the canopy overhead is lined
with ciel-blue satin.
Since the creation of this unique
bedstead, "swan beds" have been

manufactured and are for sale for q
few hundred dollars at some of the
swell furniture dealers.
The imitation empire beds, which
are higher and wider than the real
article, are especially popular for
country houses. They have a cool,
''summery" appearance, and are used
in pure white bedrooms that seem to
increase in favor as people grow to
understand how restful is the absence
of color and bric-a.brac in warm
weather.-Globe.D Democrat.

thing at night they are hard at work
and when their toll is over, all repair
to the synagogue, where the evening
prayers are recited. The aged mem
bers of the community also take part
in the daily work but, no longer able
to handle the hammer, they occupy
themselves by blowing the bellows.
The majority of these industrious
people are armorers, who supply the
Arabs with their yataghans, swords
and other weapons indispensable to
the sons of the desert, who are too in
dolent to make for themselves. Those
living in Amruz settled themselves
there shortly after the destruction ot
the second temple, at the time when
the Romans still held sway in north
ern Africa.

p% A good story is told by the
Lewiston Journal of poor man in
Oxford county, Me-, who was owed
debt by rich man, whose property,
nevertheless, was disposed of in such
manner that the poor man could get no
claim upon it. At this the poor credi-
tor had the rich debtor taken to Jail,
and paid his board in advance for one
week. The rich debtor laughed at
this, for he reasoned that the poor fel-
low would soon get sick of boarding
him at the Jail. When the week was
ended, he looked forward to release.
At the end of the time, however, the
creditor appeared, and said he would
get the money to keep that debtor in
Jail for the remainder of the years
board. The rich man was glad to SET
tie.

left his brain too perplexed for business,
and the proximity of Joseph recalled
the unpleasantness to him. So he re-
solved to return to Sydenham and chase
away his care in Elias smiles. He en-
tered a smoking compartment of the
train as usual at London bridge, and,
laying his head back on the cushions,
tried to compose himself to sleep. But
the chatter Of two young men in the
same carriage arrested his attention.
They were discussing some woman, aft
er the manner of their kind, and, al
most against his will, he could not help
listening to them
