Geese have at least twice merited a
page in recorded history in times past
and third now awaits the pen of the
chronicler who shall read in the Ger
man press that the innocent birds are
the cause OF a threatened war of GUS
toms between Germany and Russia.
A recent decree of the government Of
William II. forbidding the introduce
tion of Russian geese across the from
tier has led Russia to make reprisals
in nullifying concessions made in the
payment of duties on leather and Gel
luloid goods. The agrarians in Ger
many are the instigators OF the cru
sade against Russian geese on the
ground that they spread poultry chol-
era, but they have traitors in their own
camp, the German taste for fatted
goose flesh being stronger than the
acceptance of modern quarantine
ideas. Concessions on both sides can
alone prevent long contest. New

Shrink, or alter in shape. In certain
portions of Burmah there is teak 1000
years old. 1t weighs 40 pounds per
cubic foot. Teak is used in India for
construction, bridge-making, sleepers
and furniture. 1t is exported to Europe
chiefly for building railway carriages,
shipbuilding or making decks and
lower mosts and for the backing Of
armor-plates On ironclads. 1t is pc
culiarly useful for the latter purpose,
owing to the resinous matter which it
contains and which acts as a preven-
tive Of rust, the wood neither affecting
the iron nor Neing affected by it.

The Deutsche zeitung, San Paolo,
Brazil, gives some shameful particu-
lars of the 'spoils system as it pre-
walls in that country. One story,
translated in the Literary Digest, has
an amusing side.
Some time ago general was sent to
one of the northern States to investi-
gate the management of q Government
railroad. He belonged to the set of
men who have themselves obnoxious
by their endeavors in the service of re-
form, and here are some OF his ex-
periences:
The very first day he found in one
Of the rooms of railroad station
strong young man who was doing moth
ing. Thinking the young fellow had
come to see him he asked:
"Do you wish anything, my friend?"
"No, sir. I am employed here"
"Sol What are your duties?"

Office every day."
The general was little astonished.
In the next room he discovered another
able-bodied young man, smoking a
cigarette. "Are you an employer" he
asked.
eyes, sir. lam the assistant of the
gentleman in the next room"
But that was nothing to what was to
come. The general had already been
informed that the road employed eight.
cen engineers, while only eight were
working. He ordered that in future
these men should at least take turn
about. The next day one of these
engineers, beardless youth, came
to him and told him that he could not
run locomotive to save his life.
'"Then how did you get on the pay
roll?"
well, you see, general, it's this
way: My family are poor, but I
wanted to study law. We've got some
pull, so managed to get an appoint
ment as honorary engineer, to make a
living while pursue my Studies"

Even Saxon courtesy may be car
ried a little too far. When about to
return from a Bohemian village to a
frontier town in Saxony, the occupants
of sledge had their foot-warmers
carefully rinsed out and replenished
with full-bodied Hungarian wine. Thus
they passed the guard pest without let
or hindrance to the merry jingling Of
the sleighbe!ls Laughing and Joking
at the success of their little dodge, they
called at a wayside inn for refresh
ments. On resuming their seats one
Of the party exclaimed: why, the
foot-warmers are quite hot!" Then the
boots of the inn stepped forward and
said, with friendly grin: |"The foot
warmers were quite cold, gentlemen,
so Just to oblige you, I emptied and
filled them again with hot water."-

Tho China Closet.

A china closet should have its glass
doors and sides kept as bright as the
proverbial new dollar. To bring out
the good coloring of your specially
fine bits of china and silver, measure
your shelves with paper and buy just
enough material to allow an inch be-
ing turned in all around. Let the
fabric to cover your shelves be high
pile plush, either of deep crimson,
Lincoln green or golden brown. Grim
son brings out the bright tribes best,
and while 1 advise getting thick pile
in plush, do not think it at all neces-
sary to buy an expensive one. A good
housekeeper, whose silver always
looked brighter than any ones else,
was asked what preparation was used
to achieve this effect. She answered
laconically, "Elbow grease" And
then she went on to explain that the
average bit of silver was usually white
rather than brilliant, since the aver
age maid thought that putting whit
ing on and taking none Off was all that
was necessary for the precious metal.
"What good maid should do" said
she, sis to use as little whiting as
possible, and to rub and brush until
every particle of the whiting Is re-
moved. Ladies' Home Journal.

Ee Is Simply a Scrub Wolf But is n " on

What is a coyote2 A coyote is lit

His color is indescribable. He is
neither white nor black nor yellow,
nor any other weli-defned color; but
sort of blending Of all producing q
hue that can best be described as
coyote. He is not beautiful either in
appearance or character. There is
nothing attractive about him. He is
not troubled with conscientious sclu
pies; neither is he brave. and he ewon't
fight unless he is compelled to. He
is scrub wolf in every sense of the
word.
His physical beauty is about on n
par with his moral aspect. He has q
little, peaked shaped head, in the front
of which, very close together, is pair
of the brightest, blackest, wickedest
little eyes that ever shone in the moon
light. He does not appear to possess
there is more unadulterated cunning
wrapped up in his hide than can be
found in the same amount of space
anywhere else in creation. The man
who imagines that coyote does not
understand his business Just because
he has not high forehead will soon
learn that the principles of phrenology
do not apply to this epitome of every
thing that is smart, rascally, tricky
and impuoent.
In regard to his ability to get over
ground, in other words, to change his
spots, too much cannot be said. 1t is
good deal like the wind. Won can
not tell whence he cometh nor whittier
he goeth When he makes up his
mind to place certain amount Of
space between himself and a given To-
cality, he does not stand on the order
OF going. He does not run in the
common acceptation of the term, but
he suddenly transforms himself into
dimly defined streak of gray light that
shimmers across the landscape for an
instant and then sinks into oblivion,
SO far as mortal view is concerned.
He is seldom seen in the daytime.
The glare of the sun does not seem to
be suited to his makeup; he prefers to
waltz around among the sagebrush in
the soft light of the moon. During
the day he is of retiring disposition
and recuperates his exhausted vitality
from the previous nights debauch un-
der the friendly shade of projecting
rock, or in the deep seclusion of a
clump of quaking asp, away from the
busy haunts of men and remote from
any trail or road.

The rag carpet, after many years,
has returned. 1t is once again fairly
popular, and the rags that for a quar-
ter of century have been going to the
ragman, are now being treasured up,
since, if they are of wool, they are al
most worth their weight in gold. VIII,
the rag carpet ever did go out of style
it is hard to determine, and its reap.
pearance in society is not difficult to
understand. Properly put together
and made of good assortment OF
rags, it is exceedingly pretty and
withal, easy to manufacture, all the
knack needed being the skill necessary
to cut the rags in strips, sew them to-
gether in lengths, and wind them into
ball. For a small sum the rag car
pet weaver does the rest. Bath room
and study rugs are the chief uses Of
the rag carpet of to-day. 1t is not SC
much rag carpets, in fact, as it is rag
carpet rugs. The rag carpet rug is
not large as rule. Six feet by three
would be quite an extraordinary size.
The idea is to have quite a number oi
them, and these much smaller. They
clean easily and wear like iron.

Planning the Meals.

The average housekeeper finds that
her memory is shortest when it comes
to the daily planning of meals. Her
frequent cry that she cannot think of
anything to order never seems to be
suggestive to her of its own remedy.
She has ordered and does order every
day the round of family living, and
if when the process is over she would
arrange in a little book kept for the
purpose the chief dishes that have ap-
peared on the table during the twenty
four hours, she will find that she
quickly accumulates a valuable memoir
abilia. Instead of cataloguing these
dishes under Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, it is simpler to classify them
breakfast, luncheon, dinner; sub
stantials and desserts. A house keeper
who has practised this plan since the
beginning of the year has over and
over again been amazed to discover
how the useful simple dishes escape
her memory without it,

The practice of cleaning machinery
by means Of blotting paper has been
established in German workshops. The
German workman formerly received on
IN average $50 grams of cotton waste,
one new sponge cloth and one or two
renovated ones per week; now he is
supplied with $50 grams Of cotton
waste and eight to ten sheets of blot
ting paper. at cost Of PA cents, in
stead Of as formerly, 6A cents. The
paper is not only cheaper, but it can
not soil the machine with fibers and
dust, like sponge cloth and woolen ref
use, and it is far preferable to cotton
waste. Beyond this, it is not so COM
bustible as other cleaning materials.
