DoMEsT1CATED WILD GEESE.

Gin passing through the remote
country towns of Connecticut" said
a native of one of them, "the stran-
ger will notice now and then in
farmers flock of prosaic-looking wad-
ding geese one or more different
from their companions. These ap-
parently mis6t geese are gamier and
wider than the others. They are
bulkier. The neck feathers have the
brownish hue of game birds and there
is queer black, Tapping protuber-
ance on the crown of the head that
resembles the head of big long clam.
"These are wild geese, genuine
honkers, which have been forced into
domestication by clipping their wings.
1t is fact that wild geese in their
semi-annual migration are apt to get
lost if caught in fog. Then they
plunge and dive aimlessly about, at
times barely skimming the earth,
sweeping against distractions, often
coming down in heap on the ground,
and running about the fields or farm
yards like excited domestic fowls,
screeching frantically and with great
clamor.
cat such times they are an easy
prey, and farmer with club can
knock over half a dozen of the crazed
birds before they get their bearings.
Any that are not injured too badly
are doctored up, their wings are clip
ped and they are added to the flock
of farm geese to spend the rest of
their days in inforced domesticity.
"These domesticated wild geese
rarely forget the instincts of their
kind, and during the late fall and early
spring month dwell in state of con-
slant excitement and unrest. They
honk responses to the honks of wild
geese flying over, and their efforts to
rise and go along with their free
brethren are sometimes frantic.
"I have known farmers who have
humanely recognized this longing in
wild geese in their focks and permit
ted their wings to grow, so that the
birds might rise and join some pass
ing flock, which they have invariably
done.
GA farmer who lived near Card
ner's Lake tells of wild goose of his
that he permitted to regain its liberty
in this way, and which went sailing
off after a flock on its way south.
This goose was a gander and it re-
turned to the old farm in less than an
hour the most deplorable looking
creature the farmer ever saw. 1t
was plucked nearly bare of feathers
and its head and neck were torn and
bleeding. 1t had evidently met with
lively reception from the old gan
der that led the flock and had made
up its mind that liberty at that price
was hardly worth having. So it had
returned to captivity, and although
its wings were left unclipped, it never
manifested any inclination touse them
again, and lived on the farm to
green and unhonking old age"

HIS STRENUOUS REMARKS.

The elevated train came to stop
at Scollow square with such sudden
ness that an old man with silk hat
and three bundles was hurled down
the aisle as from catapult. The
bundles and the hat took various di-
rections, but the old man brought up
against a stout young woman, who
promptly measured her lenghth upon
the floor.
The young woman picked herself
up. The old man said as he groped
about for his bundles: "I-confound
it-know it-confound it-couldn't
help myself-confound it." Then as
he left the car he glared at the guard
and indulged in his final outburst ::
"Confound it all, 1 say !"
A man seated in the car said to his
neighbor: 1.-The old fellow is a
church member" Perhaps, was
the reply. "but he put good deal of
expression into his words"
"AH," unused the absent minded
man, "here is a string about my fin
ger. "Now, what could my wife
have wanted that to remind of? Let
me see. !"
He thought for some time, but
could not decide what it might have
been, so he said
"I'll go home and ask her what it
was"
At the door he was met by his wife,
and he Immediately asked her.
"Why, my DEAR" she smiled. II

MRS. NEWMAN -"I never saw

Mrs. Nahcher-"Yes. l wonder
how she'd like her neighbors to be
that curious about her? You know
the doctor stopped at her house to-
day, too"
Mrs. Hewman-"You don't say ?
I wonder what's the matter there.

"What are you going to dramatize

sarcasm.

stopping n Fast Train,

People often wax impatient because
express trains cannot be stopped at
some unimportant little station at
which they wish to alight. They should
consider the cost of satisfying their
within. \ train going at rate Of sixty
miles an hour can be stopped within
40 yards from the first application Of
the brake. Now, enough power is lost
to carry this same train fifteen miles
over q plane surface. First there is
the momentum acquired by the train
flying at this remarkable rate Of speed,
then the loss of steam in applying the
brakes and lastly the extra amount Of
coal TO compensate for all these losses.
for all Of which impatient passengers
would not care to pay.
