A BIG SHIPMENT OF GEESE.

There is a little less noise on
the western bank Of Polk Bayou
since Monday, although it's usual
quietude and serenity have not
yet settled down upon that his
toric stream. About the 1st Of
the month, Mr.. Rosebrough, the
resident member Of the firm Of
Goodwin, Jean C Co., poultry
dealers, began to gather up car
load of geese. They came from
five or six counties and brought
their voices with them. Mr..
Rosebrough made a pen for them
on the west bank Of the bayou
and extended one end Of it down
in the stream. In this pen Sat-
urday he had carolled 1000 geese
and several hundred d u c k s.
They made night and day vocal
with their cheerful quacking and
could be heard two miles. From
Saturday until Monnay forenoon
they consumed forty bushels Of
corn, thrown to them in the
shuck, and Mr.. Rosebrough is
out altogether about 200 busuels
.on them
Sunday the poultry car arrived,
and Monday morning 2700 geese
were placed in it. They were
brought across the bayou in con-
voys Of 500, marched up the hill
and through the poultry-house,
with much squawking and some
little excitement, and into the
car, where the noisy throng be-
came silent. They were shipped
to Chicago and a boy, with %
bushels Of corn, was sent along
with them.
Mr.. Rosebrough has now 2000
more geese and 1000 ducks ready
to ship as soon as another car
arrives, Each fall q shipment Of
geese is made. At first il was
difficult to procure q single car
load at all the stations in the
county, Now two carloads are
easily obtained here. Next
October there will be q market
here for all the geese offered for
sale, and it will probably require
three cars to hold them, Bates

RESERVE STRENGTH.
A Natural Phenomenon Finds It's Ana
Iogue I'm the Spiritual World

A Natural Phenomenon Finds It's Ana
logue I'm the Spiritual World.
We all possess more physical and spir-
itual strength than we ever exert. When
man in hypnotic state lifts n weight
which he thinks he could not LIT In
his ordinary state, the power by
which he does it must already reside
within him. No extraneous strength
Is really impaired to him by the per-
son who attempts to guide his action.
The strength exists latent In himself.
The power of concentrated attention
and OF actual determination to make the
utmost exertion seem to account for the
wonderful, almost superhuman feats
that are attested by scientists of men
in this hypnotized condition. The
Christian does well to note the phenom-
ena OF the material world, and the pos
sibilities of physical attainment that
he may search for and perhaps discover
their counterpart or analogue In the
spiritual world.
Stupendous efforts in the realm of the
spirit are brought about by just these
two causes, greater, more fixed, more
intense concentration OF attention on
God, and resolved, persistent exertion
to do specific good deeds TO our fellow
men. These two causes produce con-
sequences in the unseen realm, as much
higher in their range as the Divine
scars above the mere physical. Con-
centrated attention to the exclusion of
all else but the service OF God which
Is under consideration, is the key 10
supreme improvement, and to this
must be added the unalterable deter
mination TO exert every power we pos
sess for its accomplishment. But this
difference, fundamental In nature, Is TO
be noticed. The Christian having no
reserves in himself does draw on an
other for this very needed concentra-
ton and for the will TO exert himself
TO the utmost. "For il is God which
worketh in you both to will and TO do
of His good pleasure. Mrs. Merrill

THE TIDY TADPOLE.

Eats His Weaker and superhuous Cons-

A wonderful spirit of tidiness seems
TO pervade the tadpole world. They
always eat whatever has become USE
less--their own eggs, their superhuous
companions. Even those who are only
weakly are cleared out of the way and
the victims take IL all as n matter Of
course. have disturbed n strong
member of the community just as he
begun to dine or the tail of a weaker
brother, but the sufferer had not
troubled to escape-he simply waited
till the fratricide returned to COM
plete his deadly work. For some time
there is no grave change in the tad
poles. They simply grow and become
so far transparent that their internal
mechanism, which consists of one coil
of intestines, is plainly visible. When,
however, they are about three months
old careful observer can distinguish
a tiny foot on either side of the base Of
the tail.
These grow slowly, but seem unable
10 move independently until shortly be-
fore the borderland is passed which
leads to perfect froghood. The hind
legs have reached their full size before
the front ones appear, and, while the
feet grow slowly, the hands are ready
made and can be used at once. For
day or two they can be seen under this
skin before they venture forth and
their possessor is very restless and ex-
cited. He rushes madly about, jostling
his comrades and no doubt being voted
n bore; then q more vigorous effort
breaks the skin and tiny hand and
arm appear. There seems some rule
about the order of precedence here, as
there is when the whisl1ers go, for this
year my tadpoles, almost without ex-
ception, had their right hands some
hours before the left, while on previous
occasions 1 have had an entirely left
handed crew.-Chnmbers' Journal.
