The soIan Geese.

Richard Bell in his book, "My
Strange Pets" tells of the solan geese,
which in Great Britain in bygone days
used to be sailed and dried for human
food: MANY years ago these dried
geese found their way to the lowlands
Of Scotland and were used as an appe-
tier. A small portion when eaten be-
fore meals was supposed to tickle the
appetite. In this connection / have
heard a good story: A worthy farmer
In the neighborhood gave q dinner par
ty. and when the dinner was In prog
ress he asked one of his guests II he
would have another portion upon
which the guest remarked. 4 think I

Considering the briefness of time at

at work and considering the large
amount of money they raised, l feel
that you are deeply interested in your
schools and are willing to make great
sacrifices in their behalf; and l wish
to acknowledge the appreciation Of
your assistance in these lines and to
say further hat a piano has been pur-
chased and is now in use in the nigh
school room. Suffice to say that we
think that we have a very fine piano.
1t is a Hamilton, it has a good clear

A samson rawned the GuiIIotine.

The Sansons have a place In French
history, not only because they contin.
ued so long TO hold their odious Office,
but because two of their number, a
father and son, held Office during the
evil days OF the reign of terror. when
they were kept so busily engaged with
their guillotine. The last Of the San.
sou dynasty was dismissed from his
post In the reign of Louis Philippe, IN
1S47, under remarkable circumstances.
Although he had inherited a comforta.
BILE fortune from his father, the exc
cutioner of the revolution, he got into
pecuniary difficulties and was guilty Of
pawning his guiIlotine. surely the most
%lugubrious pledge ever taken by NOR
tai pawnbroker. An order came from
the procurator general for the execu
ton OF a criminal, and the necessary
apparatus was not forthcoming. The
prison authorities had perforce to get
1t out Of pawn, and the execution took
place. But the last of the Sansons was
informed that his services would no
longer be required. What became Of
him afterward does not appear to be
known.

TURNING
BACKWARD
By BELLE MANDATES
Copyright, 1905, by /. ID. Marshall

1t was the night of the wedding of
Mrs. Baxter's youngest daughter. The
mother had hidden her a fond farewell
and watched her with her lord depart.
When the wedding guests all had gone
save those who were to remain all
night Mrs. Baxter went to her room,
dismissed her maid and gave full sway
to her unwonted hour of solitude. She
had loved her youngest daughter even
more devotedly and fondly than she
had her other two children, but she
was not grieving over her departure
now. Instead she was r~eveling In the
first taste of freedom she had known
in years, for her children-the prac-
teal Walter, the domineering Julia and
the spoiled Dolly-had each and all in
turn and en- concerto ruled each move
ment, great or small. of her life.
When five years ago her husband
had been the hero of a little adventure
that had shocked a shocking world and
her fond, foolish heart would have for
given him as he desired, Walter had
taken the affair into his hands, ably
seconded by his sister Julia, and before
the Frustrated, bewildered wife had
fully grasped the situation she had
found herself divorced. David Baxter,
contrite and conciliatory, had been
most generous In settlements and had
then completely effaced himself from
the lives Of all he held dear and had
taken up his abode In a distant city.
Dolly had been too young 20 know
much about the affair, and to her
mothers timid proposal that the ia
Their should be asked to give the hand
Of his youngest and his favorite child
in marriage she had lent a willing ear,
but Walter and Julia had emphatically
vetoed such an outrageous act.
An hour after the wedding ceremony
Walter had started on an important

business journey and Julia had taken
the same train to her home and chill
dren. Her mother was under orders to
follow In a few days. when the big
house should be closed for the summer.
Julia had arranged for some cousins to
remain also until her departure.

Suddenly she arose and went to her
writing desk. Opening a secret draw
er, she drew forth two photographs
David Baxter. boyish and debonair,
aged twenty-one, and David Baxter,
shrewd and jovial at the threshold Of
middle age, as when she had last seen
him. There was also a slip Of paper
bearing his present address, for Mrs.
Baxter had surreptitiously mailed him
newspapers with marked articles from
time to time, though she had never
dared to write or hope to hear from
him.
A tender look came into her eyes,
and she swiftly reviewed her past. at

A sudden bold resolution came to her.
and fearful lest her weak nature
should make her change her mind she
dashed off two letters, one Of which
was to the people who lived in their
old home, which she had never sold.
but had allowed some needy friends to
occupy rent free.
Her dreams that night were happy
pictures Of woods, meadows and coun-
try lanes. In the morning she looked
almost girlish. At the breakfast table
she made a welcome proposal to her
cousins. who were left in charge Of
her. She asked them II they would
not like to stay IN the house for awhile
and entertain their friends as they will

friends In the country.

Concerning that unique stream, the
river Jordan, DIR. Libbey. in The Jor-
dan Valley and Petra" writes: Per
haps the strangest thing about this ia
river Is what none Of the an
clients ever guessed-that its course
was mostly below the level of the sea.
They ~journeyed up and down the val
ley since before the days of Abraham;
they climbed down the roads from Je-
rusalem TO Jericho aud up into Moab
aud Edom; they built roads east and
west of the Jordan; they built roads
and bridges and cities far below the
level of the Mediterranean and yet new
err seem to have suspected that This
stream differed from most OF the rivers
Of the globe in this respect. Greeks,
Romans and Mohammedans, Jews,
Christians aud crusaders knew every
nook and Granny OF its winding course,
but failed to realize that while its
head and source rested high on noble
Hermon's side its mouth in the Dead
sea was far below the surface OF the
habitable world and all the surround
ing oceans"
