BIG ENGLISH HOMES.
observation-disclosures Said to Be the
Largest Of Its Kind-eOo Feet
Long and Contains 1s3 Rooms.

Knowsley, where Lord and Lady
Derby have been entertaining King
Edward, is no doubt a very roomy
dweIling-house, but It Is scarcely, as
stated by a contemporary, the largest
in England, says the Westminster Ca
Eette. This proud position is gen.
orally accorded to Lord Fitzwilliam's
Yorkshire seat, WentWOrth-WOod-
house. OF this house it is said that
the three principal entrances are so
far distant from each other that visit
ors are advised to bring three hats
with them, one to be kept at each point
Of egress. This is, Of course, a need
less counsel; but a house which is 600
feet long, has a haH into which two
average suburban villas could be com
fortably placed, and boasts a room for
every two days Of the year, is certain
Iy large enough TO satisfy any reason
able ambition. OF other commodicds
residences, Farnham castle has cor
ridors over a mile In aggregate length;
Blenheim palace stretches over S4S
feet, and has Is staircases; Mount
Stuart, Lord Bute's Rothesay seat, Is
said 10 cover an acre and to have cost
$4,000, 900. Castle Howard has 10
rooms. and Raby castle stands on near
" two acres Of land.

A INDUSTRIOUS IOWA GOOSE
Fowl Weighing IA Pounds WIN Be
Shown at st. Louis-Egg Makes
Fourteen Custard Pies.

Harry Pinkham, a Nevada (Ia) horse
man, owns q Toulouse goose which is
a monstrosity, and which has attracted
a great deal Of attention on account Of
its great size. The goose weighs IA
pounds, stands over two feet high, and
lays an egg as large around as an or
binary carafe. The fowl has been ex-
hibiIed by Mr.. Pinkham at several Of
the live stock shows, and has always at
tracted attention. Il is the intention Of
Mr.. Pinkham to take the goose to the
St Louis exposition and have 1t eXhib-
tied with the great poultry exhibit to be
arranged during the summer.
The weight Of this goose was so great
that the web feet became crippled. and
in order that the fowl might easily walk
over the frozen ground this winter Mr..
Pinkham had made for It pair Of rub
Der shoes which had been made to at
exactly upon the two web feet, and with
this artificial aid the goose gets about
on the ice and the hard ground quite
well. With one Of the eggs which the
goose recently laid q Nevada boarding
house keeper made fourteen custard
pies.

UsE LIN q coLLATERAL.
IEany LAundrs-sss said to Pawn Gus
tOmsrs' Clothes SUBSTANTIALLY
n Raising Money.


A New York paWnbrokerrecent told
me Of q scheme resorted to BY many
Washer-Women which may be Of Interest
70 those Housewives who have noticed
that their finer garments ana household
linens are slow IN getting home from
the wash. he says that these washer
women make q regular practice Of rails
ing money on their patrons better
classes Of linen.
For instance" said he, indicating 9
large package neatly done up, that con-
tains some very fine garments and lot
Of Household linen. The whole is'worth
perhaps $40. At any rate, Ilent $50 on
Il. You see, the WasherWoman takes the
things home with her, washes them at
once, and instead Of returning them to
their owner, brings them here and gets
money, which she can use for at least
q week, and sometimes much longer.
BY the time she has TO take these outfo
delivery she has another lot which she
can bring here in its place. Thus she
keeps the money indefinitely. A wash
erwoman with a large number Of such
patrons can keep $500 or $500 in the air
all the time and still get the goods back
in time to satisfy those people who have
sufficiently large reserve stock on
hand"

Sinking and Rising Seas.

The recent news of the sinking Of the

some Of the commercial interests of
Russia, Is supplemented by a report that
the Aral sea and Lake Balkash, the first
1000 and the second nearly 1000 miles
east Of Azof, are rising, although up to
1891 the Aral sea had for many years
been sinking. Some biologists think
these changes are due to slow upheavals
and subsidences Of the earth's crust.
