The young goose can be distinguished
by its soft yellow legs. which are cover

with a damp cloth and fill IL with this
stuiiing: Boil and mash three OF four
potatoes and four good sized onions:
add while all Is hot a tablespoonful OF
butter and two OF milk. two teaspoon

OF sweet marjoram. one OF salt, a good
teaspoonful Of peppee and the beaten
yolk OF one egg. Sew up the opening

FOR THE CHILDREN
Queer Name of n Bird.


The laughing jackasS is not a quad
ruped, but a bird that belongs TO the
kinghshers. II lives In Australia and
has gained this ridiculous name be-
cause OF its absurd way OF going OF
into peals OF laughter without any par
ticular cause. The Australian bush
men are always delighted TO hear II, as
they believe 1t to be prediction OF fine
weather. In damp weather the laugh
ing Jackass IS a different appearing
bird from what IL is at other times. It's
feathers are rufiied. its wings droop,
and 1t has a most untidy and bedrag-
gled appearance. II sits on a branch
OF tree and becomes miserabIy sick
and wretched. 1t mopes all day long,
not having enough energy to go and
look for something to eat This In bad
weather.
But when the weather clears, oh.
that is a different proposition to the
laughing Jackass 1t bursts into peal
after peal OF Jovial. rollicking laugh
ter, and its plumage is transformed
into all the glimmering colors OF the
rainbow
