The Wild Goose Bean.

10 the lumbermen Of Maine are due
the discovery and production of the
now famousc goose bean. The real
name OF the man who planted the first
crop OF this vegetable is not known,
but there are two rivals for the honor,
and each has Il most plausible version
of his discovery of the bean. John
Goddard, afterWard colonel in the civil
war, told this story of how the bean
was first found and grown by him:
He had charge of a gang of lumber
men during the spring Of 1916 The
soft, SlumDy snow made the roads i'm
paSsable for tote team" and the men
had been without fresh meat for more
than week. Colonel Goddard gave
the cook orders to take his gun and go
out TO see if he could get a shot at the
wild geese which were flying north in
great h0ckS. The cook was lucky
enough to bring back several birds for
supper When he was dressing them
he noticed from the lack of food in
their crops that they had been on short
rations during their journey north
ward. In the crop of one young gan
der were three beans, which Goddard
saved and planted in his garden that
summer. From these three beans he
harvested about two quarts of beans,
and from that first crop came the sup
ply which has since gladdened the
hearts of lumbcrmen throughout the
country

The Height OF Waves.

1t is usual in other places than nov
els to hear of waves running noun
tains high, but in reality the mountains
Of the sea are by no means steep and
only appear so when two systems OF
waves meet, as in Il choppy sea, and
add their amplitudes. For example, as
is shown in Il series of wave measure
ments lately undertaken by the French
government, the highest normal waves
encountered in the southern Pacific are
not more than fifty-three feet high
from crest to base of trough. These are
in sense the waves of greatest known
amplitude. The distance between their
crests is 1000 feet. Waves of the north
Atlantic are normally 52S feet from
crest to crest and twenty-six feet high.

Lighting the YuIe Log.

A custom at one time prevalent in
England and still observed in some Of
the northern districts of the old coun-
try is that of placing an immense log
of wood, sometimes the root of q great
tree, in the wide chimney place. This
log is often called the Yule log, and 1t
was on Christmas eve that it was put
on the wide hearth. Around it would
gather the entire family, and their en-
trance was the occasion Of great deal
of ceremony. There was music and re
ioicing. while the one authorized to
light it was obliged to have clean
hands. 1t was always lighted with n
brand left over fronl the log of the pre-
vious year, which had been carefully
preserved for that purpose. A poet
sings of it in this way:
With the last yeere's brand
Light the new block, and
For good success in his spending
On your psaltries play,
That sweet luck may
Come while the log is attending.
The Yule log Eas supposed to be a
protectieH against evil spirits, and it
was considered bad omen if the fire
went out before the evening was over.
The family and guests used to seat
themselves in front of the brightly
burning fire, and many 4 story and
merry Jest went round the happy
group.

RECIPE FOR A HAPPY LIFE.

The Boston Budget Beacon gives the
following Receipt for Happy Life"
as the composition Of Margaret Of Ma
varre in 1900:
Three ounces are necessary first of
patience.
Then Of repose, and peace of con-
science a pound is needfuI.
OF pastimes Of all sorts. too, should
be gathered as much as the hand can
hold
OF pleasant memory, and Of hope
three good drachms.
There must be at least; but they
should mOistened be
With liquor made from true pleas
ures which rejoice the heart.
Then Of loves magic drops a few
But use them sparingly. for they
may bring a fame
Which naught but tears can drown.
Grind the whole, and mix Herewith
Of merTiment an ounce.
To hven; yet ali this may not not
bring happiness.
Except in your prisons you lift your
voice
To Him who holds the gift Of health.
