Study the Goose.

There is much to study about Il
goose. Just observe flock Of geese
some day when you are out visiting
on a farm. They il give you amuse-
ment by the hour.
A goose hasn't the slightest idea
of breadth OF depth. The assertion
that every goose that passes through
an open barn door ducks it's head,
no matter if the opening be 20 feet
high, is as true as can be, and, while
goose can't be made to believe
that there is no danger to its head
as it passes over the sill OF barn
door, it is equally positive that it
can creep through a 2 inch augur
hole OF knot holein fence just as
easily as it can go through 20 foot
door, and with more safety to its
person. Ihave laughed myself sore
more times than a few at the per-
sistence of some old goose in trying
to enter an inclosure through hole
in the fence hardly big enough to
get its head through, while gate
big enough for team of horses to
pass through was wide open within
three feet of the hole.-New York

Watchdogs on the Water.

1t is common thing to find a dog
on coasting vessels making COM
paratively short trips, on wood
schooners, for example, and other
vessels so engaged that they are fro
quently tied up at wharves OF an
chored in harbors. Dogs are also
found on fishing boats and on oyster
boats. These are mostly kept for
watchdogs, and they serve this pur-
pose well. The thief who strolls
down a wharf or pokes around Il
harbor with intent to board u boat
thatis anchored is apt to think twice
about it if he sees Il big dog standing
with his hind feet on the deck and
his fore feet on the rail, waiting
eagerly for a chance to nab him the
moment he puts Il foot Oh deck

counter carefully scrutinized the

order of ice cream pudding, at 5
cents plate. After it had been
served she looked it over carefully
and calling the waitress back said:
do you call this ice cream pud-
ding
"Yessum, and it's very nice too. :"
"But where is the ice cream?''
"Oh, that's only the name given
that peculiar make of pudding. We
are making speciality of it. I'm
sure you'll like it when you taste
it.
"It seems to me that you ought to
give ice cream with it, as long as
you say it is ice cream pudding
1--WE don't give cottages with cot
tage pudding" quickly replied the
witty waitress. The retort threw
the middle aged woman into q con-
vulsion of laughter and she ordered
a second plate.-Boston Herald.

No Use scrubbins Him.

During the last Afghan war the
following joke was current through
out the army: The dirtiness of the
Afghan is proverbial, and it is said
that on one occasion General Rob
erts captured a soldier who was SO
exceptionally dirty that it was
thought necessary for the safety Of
the whole camp that he should be
washed. Two genuine Tommy At
kinses were told off for this purpose.
They stripped the prisoner and
scrubbed at him for two hours with
formidable brushes and a large
quantity of soft soap. Then they
threw down their brushes in disgust
and went to their captain.
"What is it, men:''
"Well, sir" they replied some
what excitedly, we've washed that
ere Afghan chap for two hours, but
it warn't any good. After scrub
bing him, sir, till orr arms were like
