Fourteen Custard Pies.

Harry Pinkham, q Nevada (Ia-) horse
man, owns q Toulouse goose which Is
a monstrOsity, and which has attracted
q 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 largo around as an or
binary earafe. The fowl has been ex-
hibited 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 It 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

KnoWsley, where Lord and Lady
Derby have been entertaining King
Edward, Is no doubt a very rOOmy
dwelling-house, but It Is scarcely, as
stated by a contemporary, the largest
in England, says the Westminster Ca
zette. This proud position is gen.
orally accorded to Lord FitzWilliam's
Yorkshire seat, Wentworth-WOOd-
house. OF this house 1t 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 800
feet long, has q haH into which two
average suburban villas could be COM
tortably placed, and boasts q room for
every two days Of the year, II certain

A New York paWnbroksr recently told
me Of a scheme resOrted to by many

that their finer garments and household
linens are slow In getting home from
the wash. he says that these washer
women make regular practice Of rails

large package neatly done up, that con-
tains some very fine garments and q lot
Of household linen. The whole Is worth
perhaps $40. At any rate, lent $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 10 take these out for
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

For an example, the chief clerk Of

Be taken. YOung Hitchcock when he
vas selected for his present position
was q the head Of the division Of for
eign markets 10 the agricultural de-
partment He vas put IN charge Of
principal administrative division Of the
new department last spring and from
that day 70 this he has been tied %
his desk practically every waking hour.
The only time he has been away vas
when he went home TO vote last fail.
sundays and holidays have been in
disdnguishable for him; but, more
than that, he has doubled the hours
Of labor every day, working almost in
Variably till midnight, 30 that the
Watchman Of the building began to
keep track Of him and found by actual
count that In the course Of the month
he gave to the government % extra
days OF labor, counting by the regular
department scale.
That is one Of the hard features OF
department life. Hitchcock, have no
doubt, toiled as he did, not altogether
from love for the work. but partly be-
cause he felt that he was earning the
recognition Of his superiors. But now
the one man who knows what he has
done and how much it has meant takes
his departure and there is nothing to
do but run the chances with a new
secretary who, whatever his inten-
lions, can never understand all that
has been gone through. Yet that is in
a way what happens every time there
Is change Of administration here and
a new lot Of Officers come In unfamiliar
with what they have to undertake.
