It's Odd About Geese.

"Geese are peculiar" said an oil
poul .ry SALESMAN in Manhattan market.
Put them out in rainstorm when they
have good thirst on, and they are Ii
aba to die. About ten years ago l
was engaged by firm to 60 out through
the West to buy 1--we geese and chick
ems. l bought about ten carloads, put
them ia crates, and started East The
geese were in the crates nearest the
floor of the open car-that's the regu-
lar way to ship them-and on top of
them were piled the chicken crates.

track. In pil.ng the crates on again
the geese were placed on top. l knew
l was taking chances, because rain
storm meant death to the geese, but
there didn't seem TO be any storm in

possible. Then l got a switch and
tried to force the others to keep their

to give each one four or five good hits
before it would pull in its head, and
when l started on a new head the old
one would pop up again. When we
got into ST. Joseph it was still raining,
and every goose in the top crates, with
the exception of those under the coat

James Thomas, ranchman living on
the Verde river in Yavapai county, has
discovered scheme that threatens to
revolutionize existing irrigating meth
DDS. While walking along the canal
bank the other day he observed an
enormous bull snake stretched at
length, with its head in the water and
its body pulsating like a steam pump.
Observing the reptile still more closely,
he was amazed to see stream of water
flowing from its tail. 1t was actually
pumping water. The bull snake is q
harmless creature, and Mr.. Thomas,
seized with an idea, also seized the
snake. How to make it throw larger
stream OF water was the question, and
after considerable thought he tried the
experiment of cutting off a portion of
the tail. BY this means the snake was
induced to throw full head of water
at a minimum eXertion and seemed to
enj ~ the job. M. Thomas captured
many other bull snakes, which, by as
ISOLATION with the original pumper,
soon became adopts at the new system
of irrigating. Then their tails were re-
moved, and for days the side of the
ranch next the river was lined with
snakes engaged in throwing up streams
of water from an inch TO an inch and a
hal in diameter. a mining man came
along few days ago and was struck
with the novelty of the irrigating meth
DDS adopted. He thought that the
snakes might be used in hydraulic min
ing, and number of them were coupl-
ed together like garden hose. The
experiment, however, was not entirely
successful, several of the snakes burst

SUMMARY OF NEWS,
Vermont.

JOHN CHALMERS of Company d, First
Vermont regiment, whose home is in Dan
Vile, died last Thursday at the hospital at
Fort Ethan Allen. He had had typhoid fe-
yer, but the main cause of his death was
pneumonia. Private Chalmers received a
sun stroke while in the southern camp and
this is thought to have hastened his death.
The body was taken to DAnville for burial.

BABYs SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter.
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with ScrofuIa Sores.
"At the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external APP
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in n week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, ] began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. s. S. WRoTEN, Farming

Suggestions for the Household.

In the trying heat of midsummer a
cup of hot tea is recommended as of
value as a preventive against heat
aploplexy. L % much better to take at
luncheon on a hot day than the same
drink iced. 1t opens the pores quickly
and thus relieves any tendency TO con-
gestion, In particular if the skin is
seen suddenly to be growing dry, is
this counteracting remedy of value.
The old woman's notion that cup of
scalding tea was the coolest drink she
knew has really foundation in thera-
peutic fact. Travellers in India learn
this by oft-repeated experience.
For simple afternoon at home
in summer, when the neighborhood
friends and their guests gather on the
lawn and piazza, an acceptable refresh
ment is iced coffee, served with whip
ped cream and small cakes. A hostess
who likes to have specially always at
such times offers a peculiar, crisp nut
wafer that is very popular with her
guests. Her most intimate friends
have got possession of the secret that
these come to her, together with deli
cious chocolate cookies, from a woman
who conducts prosperous business in
the two commodities.
A fair got up in great haste at
small mountain hotel for the benefit of
one OF the several war-relief associ-
atoms was triumph of ingenuity over
handicapping conditions. To add to the
limited list of articles that could be
placed on sale, the young folks went to
the woods and secured many fern roots.
These they potted in tiny pots, and sold
for ten cents each. The esta BIZ shment
is noted among its frequenters for its
delicious breakfast and supper hot
breads, which are the connection of
skilful Southern negress, veritable
plantation "mammy," who has been
many summers at the place. 1t was
the happy thought of one of the guests
to take Judy, bandanra, pipe, and all,
with his camera, and these pictures
duly mounted sold READILY orders being
taken for extras until everybody was
supplied. A peck of peanuts from the
small general store of the neighboring
settlement were shelled, blanched,
sailed, and piled in little baskets made
from birch bark. The cooks in charge
OF the homemade candy table were
equal to the emergency, too. Some col
oring matter was wanted that could not
be got, 80 five cents worth of the COM
mon cinnamon drops was purchased.
A few of these dropped in cup with
two or three tablespoonfuls OF water
produced as much pink coloring as was
needed. A good sum was realized and
pretty fair evolved.

Foreign.

A COMPROMISE has been effected between
England and Russia, the latter getting her
way in the railway question in China. and
England securing concessions in other di-
rections. In any case China must pay for
all.
GREAT uneasiness is felt at St. Petersburg
and throughout Russia over the repetition
OF last years failure of the harvest. In
seven districts Of the province Of Kazan
and largely in the provinces Of Samara,
Saratoff, Simbirsk, Viatka and Perm, the
crops are almost worthless. Even the land
ed gentry are beginning to ask the govern
ment for relief, and the prospects OF a fam.
inc most grave. The ministers of the in

decides to await attack at Omdurman, as
now appears likely. Refugees are arriving
daily from Omdurman. They all agree

Admiral SIMPSONS Marriage.

The career Of Admiral William T,
Sampson is watched with special in
terest by some Rochester people. be-
cause they remember his marriage to
Miss Elizabeth Burling sixteen years
ago. One of them relates this incident
of the marriage as a sign that did not
fail. The carriage which was to con-
vey the newly welded couple to the
train was standing in front of the
house, when the driver stepped up to
one OF the young women in the bridal
party, tipped his hat, and gravely said:
Would you mind rubbing Tom and
Jlm's noses, miss9 It's a good sign for
the new married pair"
The young woman smiled, but she
did as the driver asked her. Jim and
Tom drew Admiral and Mrs. Sampson
to the station, and they departed from
this city to take up their home in
Washington. Admiral Sampson was
stationed in the Naval Observatory
there, and had already made a name
for himself. Admiral and Mrs. Samp-
son frequently spent their vacations in
this city and in Canadaigua, and the
Admiral's wife often said that the rest
from the hustle of public life was what
they often craved, and that it was to be
found at it's best only in this region
near the great lakes. Five years ago,
when Admiral Sampson was in charge
of the United States cruiser San Fran
cisco, Mrs. Sampson, accompanied by
her two sons, Raj ph and Harold, spent
the summer with her brother in this
city.
Mrs. Sampson is well known among
teachers and instructors in this State,
and when the State Teachers Conven-
ton, was held in this city recently
congratulatory message was sent by
James Lee, president of the association
by the wish OF the convention, to Mrs.
Sampson. The Admiral's wife was at
one time an instructor in Wells college,
Aurora, where she was very popular
with her pupils. She is proficient in
modern languages and can speak
French and Spanish fuently.
AT the conclusion of her instructorship
at Wells college she became a member
of the faculty of Vassar college. Just
before coming to Rochester she was
private instructor to Miss Anita Nc
Cormick, daughter of Cyrus McCor-
mick of Chicago. Miss Mccormick
afterward married son of James G..

A boiled chocolate frosting that is ap-
proved by the Boston Cooking School
is made by melting two squares of cho-
colate, to which should be added one
cup and three.quarters of fine granu-
lated sugar and half cup of hot milk;
mix thoroughly and allow the sugar to
become melted over hot water, after
which boil without stirring about eight
minutes. Have the whites of two
eggs beaten light, but not dry, and
pour the chocolate mixture in a fine
stream on the whites of the eggs, beat
ing all the time. Beat occasionally
thereafter until cold. A half teaspoon
full of vanilla extract should be added

Some Arizona Stories.

The mining camp of Kingman was
recently invaded by a host of rattle
snakes, creating CONSERVATION among
the people. Snakes were discovered in
bed and made desperate fights when
tackled by the owners. People sleep
ing outdoors narrowly missed violent
death from the poisonous fangs of the
serpents. The snakes wiggled through
the crevices of tight board fences, and
were caught while endeavoring to en-
ter the houses. People have taken to
sleeping upstairs, and band stand and
pavilion are crowded every night by
sleepers, who dare not risk sleeping on
the ground. A spell OF unusual warm
the snakes leaving their rocky fastness-
es for cooler abode in the settlement.
A man at Mesa City has a pet gila
monster. He let it go about six weeks
ago in order that it might shed it's skin,
as is its annual custom. The other day
it returned to its usual haunts, looking
thoroughly rejuvenated. Its owner
gave it bath, after which il made a
break for its feed box, where it has
been in the habit OF eating eggs and
other luxuries.
Toads grow to an abnormal size in
southern Arizona and often exhibit q
preternatural intelligence. Recently
arc lights were started at Mesa City
and myriads of bugs are in consequence
attracted al night by the glare. The
toads have discovered this new source
of supply and eat the bugs that fall tc
ground as rapidly as they come within
reach. 1t is supposed that the new
diet has created an unnatural thirst
and in looking around for source
