The SOlan Geese,

Richard Bell in his book, "Niy
Strange Pets" tells Of the solan geese
which in Great Britain in bygone days
used to be salted 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-
tizer. A small portion when eaten be-
fore meals was supposed to tickle the
appetite. In this connection l have
heard good story: A worthy farmer
In the neighborhood gave a dinner par
ty, and when the dinner was in prog
rsss he asked one Of his guests If he
would have another portion upon
which the guest remarked, I think
will, as ct bit O. solan goose afore
I left hame and It has made me very
hungry upon which his neighbor said,
4 dinna believe in these solan geese.
for I ct haill yin afore cam ava
and I dinna feel bit the hungrier.'

The Senses of the Word.

"She is lady in every sense Of the
word," exclaimed Blifkins.
"Then she is the most remarkable
woman that ever lived" replied John
son.
"What do you mean? Aren't there
plenty of ladies in the world?"
Eyes, but not in every sense Of the
word. For instance, If the woman is
what you say, she is not only a woman
Of good family or of good breeding and
refinement, but she is also according
to the Century Dictionary, "A sweetheart

ing about sixteen inches broad by ten

turation of food And if she is all
