A MONSTER GOOSE CLUB.
Scheme Whereby the Poor of Man. chester Get & Good Dinner An
 nuaIIy at Lowest Cost.

At famous institution in Manches- ter one of the items on the programme for each year is goose club. This was originally founded to make it possiB1e for poor people to have a really good din- her on Christmas day at the lowest cost, and to obviate the necessity of their join ing any public house goose club, says London Tit-Bits.
 Seven years ago, when the club was started, there were 173 members; this year the membership totals considerably over 5000, making it one of the biggest things of it's kind in existence. r~N
 For ten weeks prior to the great dis tribution" day the members of this club each pay one shilling per week, receiv- ing at Christmas in return for their ten shillings about 13 shillings' worth of goods, including goose or turkey Cor. if preferred a joint of beef, mutton, pork or ham), bread, cake, flour, entrants, cheese and tea-enough for a good meal for 20 people. F The weights for last year are inter- |Aesting, including 115 tons of tea (suf- ficient ito provide a cupful for every man, woman and child in Manchester) :; flour, nine tons; bread, six tons; cake, six tons; cheese, 11s tons; fruit, three tons; geese, etc., 16 tons; grand total of 43 tons

THE SPORTING NEWS.
BASE BALL.
NEW DEPARTURE -
 FOR YALE COACHING.

New Haven, Jan 23.-A new depart ure in the Yale base ball coaching sys- tenn was announced to-day by the Yale News, which says that it has been de- clded to have no regular head coach or to engage any special coach during the early part of the season. Dr Will liam H. Murphy, Yale '93, will be ad- visory coach, acting as an important assistant to Captain Winslow. who will assume complete control of the coach ing and will take all the actual re- sponsibility on his own shoulders
 Several weeks ago it was announced that the base ball management was strongly considering the idea of em- ploying Dr Murphy as head coach with special professional coaches for pitching and batting, a proposal which aroused much comment among Yale men. The abandonment of the plan is said to have been due, not to scruples regarding professional coaching, but to the extra expense involved and to the helief of Captain Winslow that batting and pitching could be developed in the team without the assistance of special coaches
 The base ball season at Yale will be- gin Monday, February l, with the call ing out of candidates for freshman team and about three weeks later all the men from whom the university nine will be picked will begin regular practice in the cage.

OAKVlLLE HAPPENINGS

Yesterday nature presented a phe- nomenon peculiar to this country, an ice storm, as it is generally called. If you were, for example, to translate 'ice storm" into French. forage de glace," it would be necessary to add considerable explanation in order to have the people of France understand the exact nature of it.@s The trees, es- pecially the few pines which are to be seen here were letting their branches droop low. and when the weather grew mild. in the evening, it was not altogether safe. at least dur ing a little while, to finger under them, for the pieces of ice which the cold atmosphere had formed came down somewhat forcibly, making an unusual noise on the crusted snow. The telegraph wires were quite en- circled with ice, making pleasing crystalline appearance. Icicles were formed on the caves almost as fast as water was supplied. And all this con- gelation during rain storm. The phenomenon does not appear as strange to Us as it would to people of other countries, as it is not very un- usual here

SUFFER FROM THIRST.
Most Boxers When Training for 8 " Match Go Through a Painful
 "Drying-Out' Process.

During the final days of the period ot preparation which Corbett and Han1on made for their remarkable battle on the Pacific coast continual reference was made to the s'drying-out" process which both men were said to be undergoing. There are few patrons of the game, says the Louisville Courier-Journal, who realize just what this means, but there is hardly boxer of prominence, aside from those in the simon-pure heavy weight class, who has not suffered all the torments of the damned while the "drying-out'' is going on.
 Drying out is occasioned by the ne- cessity for the fighter to make the weight determined on for the bout, to- tai abstinence from liquids of all sorts being the prime essential in the process. Happy is the fighter who can battle at the standard mark of his class without the Spartan quality in the training, for to him is given 8 tremendous advantage from the outset. Unfortunately for most boxers, however, men are not built to weigh in at 112, 122 or 133 pounds and the final two pounds of reduction that is often necessary furnishes a sad feature of the training of at least one fighter in almost every bout.

As you enter a veterinary hospita you will see against the wall a case ol shining instruments, in no perceptible way different from those used in all forms of operations on human beings and certainly in no way inferior, says Outing.

They went to Boston, Walcotts home. They were held because "ay did not have sufficient money with them and it was thought they might become a public charge. The pugilist, however, promised to care for them. It is understood that Cheston, who is a well built, strong lad, may become a prize fighter. Walcott's other brother, Bellheld, is a boxer, and has done very well in the ring.

"REMINISCENCES

The Three Battles When ! John L. Sullivan Was Beaten--Joe Cans Fails Other Notes.

In the greatest boxing carnival ever held in this country, or anywhere else, for that matter, John l.. Sullivan and Jim Corbett, Jack McAuliffe and Billy Meyer, the Streator, III, Cyclone, and George Dixon and Jack Skelly battled respectively for the heavy, light and featherweight championships.
 No series of pugilistic events were ever staged that equaled in point of purses, bets, attendance and fierceness of conflict this glove show at New Or leans.
 Sullivan surrendered his long held crown to Corbett, McAuliffe beat Meyer for lightweight honors, and Dixon retained the featherweight title in his battle with Skelly.
 The last named fight took place Tuesday night, September 6, 1892. Monday night the lightweights had it out, and Wednesday night Sullivan sank to defeat before Corbett.
 Of the men who took part in that carnival only two are still boxing Dixon is coming back again by win ming in England. Corbett is still capa- ble of doing things in the ring. Sulh- van has long since passed beyond that stage where" he can put up a fight, Skelly has. forgotten that he ever had

THE JUDGE AND THE LAWYERS
His Honor Was There with a Coco Hard Knock When the Oppor-
 tunity offered.

The judge had had his patience soreay tried by lawyers who wished to talk and by men who tried to evade jury service Between hypothetical questions and ex- cuses it seemed as if they never would get to the actual trial of the case. So, when the puzzled little German who had been accepted by both sides jumped up the judge was exasperated, relates El-: liott Flower. in the Brooklyn Eagle.
 "Shudge!" cried the German.
 What is it?'' demanded the judge.
 'I tink like to go home to my vife.N said the German.
 You can't" retorted the judge. "sif down"
 "But, Shudge," persisted the GermanS T don't tink make good shurcr."
 You're the best in the box said the judge "Sit down.
 What box?" asked the German.
 ''The jury box" said the judge.
 'Oh, fought it vas a bad box thaS peoples get in sometimes"
 'No,'' said the judge; the bad box ia the prisoners box But, Shudge," persisted the little German, T don't speak goot English. 4
 You won't have to speak any at all,'s said the judge. "Sit down" The little German pointed at the 1aw- yers to make his last desperate plea.
 "Shudge," he said, .T can't make nods ings out of what those fellers say It was the judges chance to get even for many annoyances. Neither can anyone else" he said. "Sit down." With sigh the little German sat down.

USE OF THE wISHBONE.
Ets Importance Is Shown in the Turn. ing of Birds While on the
 Wing. -F

At the last meeting of the Boston Scientific society, c. J. Maynard, an authority on birds, spoke of what proved to be very timely topic: 'Why there is Wish-bone." To be- gin with, says the Boston Transcript, the speaker deplored the lack of knowledge that exists regarding the structures of the birds, internally. For example," said he, 'it is doubtful if five men iu the United States know much about the anatomy of the com mon robin. The ornithologists know all about external characters, the color, arrangement and number of the feathers; methods of flight, habits, and the like, but exceedingly little about the interiors of the birds they study" Classifications have been made large ly by externals, when study of the anatomy must be very important part of the subject. He had himself begun with the anatomy, and more than 20 years ago, in some of his pub lications, he dared to separate the owls from hawks. They have been placed in the same order, and have so re- mained till very recently. Now others have separated them even more wide ly than MT. Maynard did so long ago. His deductions were from a Knowledge of the anatomy.
 The wishbone is called by scientists the furcula, and is in reality the union of what are in man the two separate collarbones. These in the birds re- ceive the brunt of the strokes of the wing that turn the creature in it's flight. Few realize the strength of stroke of the birds wing. It is said that swan has been known to break a mans leg by blow of it's wing, and in like manner the wing beatings of the larger birds are dangerous if they strike the head or face. If, there fore, large bird is in the habit of making sudden turns to right or left in it's flight it must be fitted with a wishbone competent to withstand the great strain of the wing-stroke on one side, with no special action on the other side. For this reason we ind in the eagle and like birds of quickly turning flight furcula that is per- feet Roman arch, widely at variance with the gothic arch, which is the shape of the wishbone of our common fowls. The eagles furcula is solid rounded arch, everywhere equally strong, and not developing those points of weakness that make our sport of breaking the wishbone pos- sible,

Melody Wins Again.

Lawrence, Mass, Jan 23.-Billy Mel ody of Charlestown continued his un- broken string of pugilistic victories by winning from Patsey Sweeney of Man chester before a small crowd here last evening. The bout was rather a tame one, as Sweeney was so fearful he would get knocked out that he devoted much of his time to keeping out of range of Melody's right hand jolts anu to clinching. Tn the twelve rounds that the pair battled Melody got near enough to land a few blows and re- ceived the decision on points.

FOREST RESERVES IN MAINE
Private Ownership of Tracts Is V1g- orousIy Opposed by Local
 Hunters.

Maine and New Hampshire do not yet suffer from the tendency of the times among millionaires to purchase the great forest tracts and set them apart for their private uses. However much this may be so in the Adirondacks, and however much it may be becoming so in western Massachusetts and Vermont, the two eastern states have thus far es- capped says the Boston Advertiser. And the huntsmen and woodmen, who feel that they have an inalienable right in primitive forest which holds good above legal title, have reasons to be elated.
 The experiment of Marshall Jewell, Gen. Grants postmaster general, in leasing a 100, ,000 acre forest lot in the Maine woods has never been repeated. For a time he and his associates made their reserve close against all poachers, and they were the only ones who were allowed a free hunt in the wilds. No matter how big the game might be or how tempting the chase might prove, even the Maine guides who had roamed without restriction through the great woods were forbidden to enter. This stirred up hostile feelings throughout the state and eventually when the pro- moter died the vast tract again became the hunting ground for Maine people themselves.
 Since then both state and individuals have zealously guarded their interests against any syndicate which would try to repeat this experiment.. Hunting and fishing clubs may control exclusively some of the ponds and smaller lakes in the pine region, but they have found it inexpedient to deny others the hunting privileges which they have themselves enjoyed. The same situation has been true in the main in New Hampshire, the exception being in the case of the Corbin park, which embraces parts of two or three townships where there were once villages and farms. But this is really an animal reserve, in which every cit izen feels pride and interest, because hunting is entirely secondary, the aim of the park being to keep from exterm- ination some animal species which would not survive without protection.

Household Luxuries.

Luxuries are difficult to 6lefina. When 1uxuries are easily obtined thex cease to be luxuries. As a rule. we regard as luxuries those desirahls things to be obtained only with difR- culty. When they are easily obtained they are no longer luxuries. When life becomes impossible without lux uries, the life is hardly worth living from an outsiders point Of view. at any rate. Real health and happiness are quite possible without so-callec, luxuries. When one is well and buoy ant, and the bodily organs are work, ing harmoniously, it is luxury enough only to live, to look on nature and gather "the harvest of a quiet eye."-~ Chicago Tribune.
