Humorous Geese.

OF barn yard fowls the geese are the
most intelligent. 1t is related Of pair
Of geese that they used to round up
the chickens which strayed in from
the neighbors and play pranks with
them for the fun of 1t, says the New
York Sun. One day dozen of a neigh.
boris hen flock came visiting and the
geese entertained them. The chickens
were corralled in n fence corner, and
the geese tapped their wings and
Missed, showing great joy when the
chickens exhibited tear. Just then the
farmer came out and began to feed
his flock. Between hen-baiting and
eating these geese did not know what
to do. They wanted to eat and would
begin to eat. Then the chickens would
start away. That made the geese so
uneasy that they could not eat After
bit the chickens started along the
fence toward little stream of water
with eighteen inch high banks. On see
ing this the geese stopped eating and
went to the stream and swan down 1t
toward the spot for which the hens
were headed, and ducked their heads
so that the chickens couldn't see them.
Arriving at the crossing place the geese
jumped into the air with Tapping
wings and tried to catch one of the
chickens, but they were too slow, and
the chickens went over the fence like
scared crows. If the geese had caught
the chicken the feathers would have
flown. for the geese delighted In pluck
ing the feathers out of a captive.

Slavery TO Fear.

TO worry is to throw dust into ones
eyes, to tread on pointing pins and
needles, to annoy the breast with need
less gasps and groans. We, as a peO-
pie, are nervous, fretful, and forebod-
ing. The reins are ever falling from
our hands, whilst the Infatuated steeds
are flying with our lives. ApparitiOns
Of disaster begloom the day; horrible
nightmares murder our sleep, and
ghosts Of forgotten sorrows stalk
through the night! We are conceived
in fear, and brought forth in forebod-
ings. Our childhood is nursed in the
lap Of uneasiness. We are forced to
begin life wrong. We are taught that
we are plunged at once into the midst
of tremendous battle. Each Is
against the other. Everywhere are
weapons pointed at use which we must
dodge and escape, or disgrace and de-
feat will folliw. Life Is a game Of
"give and take" every hour, every mo-
mcnt; and he is already slain, whose
back Is turned.-Henry Frank, In The
Arena.

1.-THE cemeteries have long since
adopted rule to charge for burial ex-
penses whenever body has been plac-
ed in a vault, as well as the vault ex-
penses," explained cemetery super
intendent, but they only did so when
they found that IL was absolutely nec-
essary. The usual expense for placing
a body in vault Is from So to $40 for
the first month and about one-half of
that sum for the following month or
months. While the full charge is made
upon placing the body In the vault,
the extra sum for burial expenses is
returned when the body has been bur-
led or taken away. The burial ex-
penses run all the way from $15 to $50,
according to the cemetary selected.
This sum covers the charge for inter-
ment and the grave site. This prac-
tice was found to be necessary, for
cemeteries, like everything else In this
world, cannot be kept up unless there
Is financial feature attached to them.
Until the rule was adopted there were
many instances where persons left the
bodies of their relatives and friends In
vaults and never claimed them after
ward, simply deserving them and fore
ing the cemeteries to bury them and
provide grave sites. Now, I do not
claim that was done very often, but I
assure you 1t was done often enough
to force the cemeteries to adopt the
rule for their own protection"

Consul-General Gowdy in his annual
report states that during the past year
there has been marked increase, in
Paris, France, in the adoption Of au-
tomobiles, not only as pleasure vehi-
cles owned by private individuals,
but in the way Of cabs serving the
public for hire and for business pur-
poses in the way of delivery wagons,
specially those for long distances. 1t
is announced that at the beginning Of
the next year there are to be one hun
dred motor cabs driven by electrical
power running in the streets of Paris,
and If the experiment is successful,
the cabs will be increased to one thou
sand. With this project in view a
large plot of ground has been acquired,
where the building Of works necessary
for the housing Of cabs and machinery
for electrical supply is being rapidly
completed.

Cocoanut BY Mail.

One of the strangest packages which
has ever been handled by the clerks In
the Waterville post Office was deliver
ed to 8. s. Lightbody the other after
noon. The package was cocoanue In
the same form I'm which 1t was first
taken from the tree. There was no
tag attached to the cocoanut. Instead
the address was written on the husk.
One Of the three sides Of the husk was
taken up by the address, which used
up nearly all the space allotted for It,
Another side contained the postage
stamps. or these there was one if
teen-cent stamp, two two-cent stamps,
and, in spite Of the fact that the re-
naming stamp of one-cent denomina-
ton was one Of the stamps issued in
commemoration Of the Maine, there
was plenty Of room for many more
stamps of the same size, so large was
the surface.

AN EXPERT ON FARM CONDITIONS.
Re Says Farm Investment Paid Better 40
Years Ago Than To-Day.

The Industrial Commission gave
hearing recently in Washington on
farm conditions, the principal witness
being Assistant Secretary Bingham of
the Agricultural Department Mr..
Brigham said that he had been con-
nected with the Grange movement
nearly twenty years, and as master of
the National Grange for nine years
had travelled over the country consid-
erably. The number of men employed
on farms was about the same, he said,
as fifty years ago. The tendency, how
ever, was toward shorter hours and
lighter work, and In general the condi-
ton and wages of the farm hands had
improved. This was largely due to the
use Of machinery and Improved meth
DDS, and not organization Of labor The
system of crop sharing, he said, was
increasing, and would, he thought,
largely supplant that Of hiring men for
wages.
Mr.. Brigham favored the teaching of
the elementary principles of agricult-
ure In the public schools, as arousing
the interest of the boys In that branch
would tend to keep them on the farm
and away from the cities. The money
invested in farms, farm implements
and stock in the United States repre-
scented, he said, about $1,000, 100000.
Farm investments paid higher rates of
interest forty years ago than to-day.
Some reasons for the decrease were
the appreciation Of land values and
higher wages for labor. The net profits
Of farming, taking an average for the
whole country, he thought would not
exceed more than two or three per cent.
Farmers, he said, paid too great n pro-
portion of the taxes, one reason being
that their property could not be con-
cealed from the assessors as can some
other classes of property.

The Philippine cocoanut is an article
of much commercial importance, and
has tremendous and unlimited fu-
ture. The islands can grow enough to
supply the world, though that Is not
necessary, as they abound in other
places, but there is no doubt that the
product will have an increasing and
ultimately most important money
value. Marseilles alone in 1897 import
ed one hundred and fifty million
pounds, the oil Of which, mixed with
American cOttonseed oil, is employed
in the manufacture Of the fine toilet
soaps for which that place is famous.
For such purposes the demand is
without limit. Skilfully managed, the
cocoanut crop alone ought in a few
years to pay the cost to us of the ISL
ands.

the CHINESE JEWS.


kse.Fung-Fo0.
Among the most remote colonies are
the Jews OF China, who have aroused
interesting inquiry and been the theme
of many French writer's. Early In the
seventeenth century, and shortly after
the Italian missionaries had. come to
Picking, one Of them, Matthew Ricca,
received morning call. His visitor
wore the gorgeous Chinese dress, in
Guiding the queue, but the figure and
face were not Monaghan, and the smil-
ing countennnce was not In keeping
with the dignified solemnity of q
Chinaman. The gentleman's name was
Ngai, and he had heard Of the arrival
of some foreigners who worshiped one
Lord Of heaven and earth, and who
yet were not Mohometans; he belonged
to the same religion, he explained, and
had called to make their acquaintance.
Now, Master Ngai made 1t clear that
he was an Israelite, a native OF kae-
fung-foo, the capital of HOnan. He
had come to Picking to pass an exam
nation for mandarin degree, and had
been led by curiosity and brotherly
feeling to call at the mission house.
In his native city, he said, there were
ten or twelve families of Israelites,
and a synagogue which they had re-
Gently restored at the expense of TO-
600 crowns, and they had roll OF the
law four or five hundred years old.
The missionary's letters described this
synagogue. 1t occupied space be-
nd hun
length by about hundred and fifty in
breadth, and was divided into four
courts. 1t had borrowed some decora-
tive splendor from China. The in
scription in Hebrew, Hear, o Israel;
the Lord our God is one Lord, blessed
be the name Of the glory of His king
dom for ever and ever" and the Ten
Commandments were emblazoned' in
gold. Silken curtains Enclosed the
Bethel which enshrined the sacred
books, and which only the rabbi might
enter during the time Of prayer. Ev-
cry detail Of this place, with its in
cense, it's furniture, and all its types
Of good things yet to come, Is inter-
esting. There In the last century the
children of Israel ut Kae-fung-foo wor-
shipped the God Of their fathers with
the rights that pointed to the Messiah,
Of whose advent, as far as 1t can be
ascertained. they never heard until the
arrival of the Italian missionaries.
Learned men have entered into dis
cussions as to whether these people
were Jews or Israelites, whether they
came to China from the Assyrian cap
tivity or the Roman dispersion. They
themselves say that their forefathers
came from the west and 1t is probable
that the settlers arrived by way of
Khorassan and Samarcand. They
must have been numerous in the ninth
century, for two Mahometan travellers
Of that period describe a rebel, named
Bae-choo, taking Canton by storm in
A. ID. ST. and Strengthening 10000
Jews, Mahometans, Christians and
Parasees. More than one Jew Of Kae-
fung-fOo is known to have gained the
right to wear the little round button
on the top of his cap so dear to the
ambition of a Chinaman. The TAPPING
rebellion dispersed the settlement, and
the remnant who remain faithful to
the memory Of old traditions are
chiefly poor and distressed.
