U. s. SENATOR John @. Spooner. of Wiscou-
sin, resigned from that body when Congress
adjourned on Monday last and will retire to
private life. He was regarded as one of the
ablest men in the Senate and he is generally
conceded to be among the best lawyers in the
country. Mr.. Spooner served in the Senate
since 1885. He is poor man and leaves politi-
cal life in order to engage in the active practice
of law and thus make something to live on in
the declining years of his life.

In THE Strother murder trial at Culpeper,
Va, Judge Harrison issued an order that none
but court officials and those directly connected
with the case should be admitted to the court
room during the progress of the trial. Boys,
especially, were interdicted by the courts
order. This action of Judge Harrison cannot
be too highly commended. Why court rooms
should be filled with lot of hangerson and
loafers who are there purely out of curiosity

Goose Stufaing Big Industry.
E0infry Gentleman.


A leading industry of WATERFOWL, Wis.,, is the
stufing of geese, which is yearly growing larger.
and now amounts to about 1000 geese and an out
lay of about $4,000. Three dealers handle the
birds. which are shipped only on order, but go to
all parts of the country. The stuffed goose is
not market fowl, but is valued for its liver.
which is used in making pate de foie gras, and
reduced to lard is used as butter by those who
can afford it, the skin is utilized by frying and
is known as Jewish cracker" The liver may
weigh from to lbs. and is worth dollar
pound. Price of the geese is averaged by their
weight, say 20 to 80 lbs, the pound price follow
ing the weight. One farmer brought in 1854
lbs, for which he received fat check. The
heaviest goose this season weighed So lbs. and
brought So cents a pound. Wealthy Jewish
families are leading purchasers. The ''stufHng"
is generally done by farmers wives and daugh-
tiers, as it requires to be done at intervals OF a
few hours for three weeks. Noodles" made OF
rye and wheat flour and corn meal baked, are
soaked in water and stuffed into the goose.

ARTHUR B. REEVE, writing in Charities and
the Commons. speaks of the thousands OF
wage earners who were killed or injured in a
year of prosperous business. He says that all
methods of estimate lead to the conclusion that
the total number of men. women and children
who were killed or injured is in the neighbour
hood of 100000. Cold statistics of railway
accidents show that railroading is nearly twice
as dangerous as it was eighteen years ago,
when the Interstate Commerce Commission
first began keeping a record of the casualties,
and that travelling on the railroad is more
than twice as dangerous. Mr.. Reeve says that
the first step in the program of reform should
be prevention, and the second restitution.
