Why the Goose Is Silly.

"Why is the goose silly p repeat
ed Grandpa Longbow, putting down
his paper. "Do you know that the
goose was once the wisest of all crea-
lures?
"You don't?
"Then it might be well for little
boys and girls to hear the true story
of what happened to the goose.
Long ago, when the rabbit had
the longest tail of any creature living,
and when the eagle, then the most
timid of birds, used TO live on pump
kin-seed, the goose was very wise. 1t
walked about with dignifed bearing
that you can yet see traces of, in spite
of its waddling; and by asking ques-
tons of everyone 1t learned all that
was really to be known about the dry
land.
But the learned goose was still un-
satisfied.
"'Why : it exclaimed. the world is
more than three-fourths water; and
though I know all that is TO be known
on and about dry land, am ignorant
of everything in the water.
80 the goose set about learning
how to swim and dive, and after many
years of study and questioning it
learned all about the water and the
creatures that live in it. But still it
was not satisfied.
1 know very little about the air,
said the learned goose, 1 must now
learn how to fly like the eagle, so that
| will be able to take longer journeys
than are possible for one who only
swims and walks.
"After much practice the goose
learned to fly and that enabled it to
travel so much and learn so much that
it finally fell i'll with brain fever.
When it recovered its mind was af-
fected, and it couldn't tell whether it
belonged to the sea, like the gull, the
dry land, like the hen, or the air, Xix
the eagle. And ever since it has been
wandering about, homeless, witless,
foolish bird, and all because it asked
too many questions and learned too
much.
"No, l will not tell you how the rab-
bit lost its tail, and the eagle became
brave and fierce. Remember the fate
of the goose, and don't try to learn
too much at once.

Queer Honeynoons.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer A
few years ago a newly welded couple
living ten miles southwest Of Brook
vile, Ky, took as a honeymoon trip
a wagon ride to witnes. the hanging
of Robert Mclaughlin, which occurred
at Brookville. A short while since an
adventurous couple spent their first
days of welded life on the summit of
Mount Blanc. The ascent, extremely
hazardous by reason of terrific snow
storms, being successfully accomplish
ed, and the summit reached, the bride
groom, in the presence Of the guides,
embraced his young wife, to whom he
swore eternal fidelity, and received
from her lips an equally fervent assur-
ance. Then the descent was COM
menced, and the couple after three
days absence, arriven at Chamounix,
where they were accorded an enthu-
siastic reception, There are on record
four honeymoons known to have been
spent in Mammoth Cave, Kentucky.
In the neighborhood of Dobschau, a
small Hungarian town, there is an ex-
traordinary ice cave, The roofs, the
walls, the floor are thickly covered
with ice, which in places assumes most
fantastic shapes. In this cave, some
sixteen years ago, couple named
Kolcsey elected to pass the week in
mediately following their marriage.
They took with them a plentiful sup
ply of rugs, blankets and warm cloth
ing, but notwithstanding all precau-
tons their experience was not Of suf-
fciently pleasant nature to tempt i'm
itators.

Mr.. Long promised to do so, but alb

letter directing her to appear at the

necessary physical examination.

A Cremation in Siam.

If there is any time when tie Siam
csc may be said to hold sports, it is at
notable cremation. Ordinarily the
dead of Siam are burned at a CHAT
common to all who cannot afford the
considerable expense of a private con-
fagration and when the wood of the
funeral pyre has been consumed the
body is well roasted, and the attend
ant vultures ale given a chance to
clean the bones. Those who can al
ford it build the funeral pyre within
their private walls, where festivities
are held during the burning, and In
vitations issued to friends, and they
may come and behold the honor paid
their dead. The bodies of those in
tended for private cremation are en-
balmed, and usually kept for some
time-often many months One Siam
csc gentleman, when inviting me to the
proposed cremation of his brother, In
formed me that the distinguished de-
ceased had been awaiting combustion
for year. The extent and character
of the festivities on such an occasion
depend entirely on the length Of purse
of the deceased remaining relatives,
But as some people gauge the social
Importance and erstwhile political
"pull" of departed brother by the
number of carriages his friends muster
at the funeral, so also in Siam the va
riety of the funeral festivities marks
the wealth and status and the grief OF
the bereaved family.
On the afternoon or evening OF the
appointed day the guests assemble and
witness the simple ceremony OF the
yellow-robed priests of Budha. Sub
sequently the nearest male relative
fires the pyre, and then, while the
flames crackle and the late lamented
Kisses and pops like a green plppln on
a spit, his grieving family and friends
grow merry over the cakes and sweet
meats and wine, while men hired for
the occasion perform at several games
and even, on rare occasions, do some
little running and jumping. The
game nearest approaching one OF skill
is a sort of fence play with short sticks
fastened to both arms. Once IN a
while one sees at the human barbecues
a kind of boxing, the art of which
seems to be in parrying with the arm
and open hand the thrusts that
never have any serious intention of
landing.-Huper's Weekly.
