Rigid Inspection of the Fowls imported
Into the City.
The traffic in geese at Berlin amount:
to nearly 100000 year. AS the do
nestle supply is wholly inadequate, {
special goose train of from fifteen t.
forty cars arrives daily from the Rus
sian frontier Each car is specially
built and carries about 1000 geese
There is rigid inspection by sanitary
officials Immediately upon the arriva
of the train.
Should it be found that single
goose has died or been Ill of a conta
gious disease in transit the entire car
load is quarantined for eight days. Il
during this period of quarantine an
other goose should die, the quarantine
is extended for eight days, at cost Of
about $500 to the owners. The penalty
attaching to the bringing in of diseased
geese makes the owners extremely
careful to import only sound and
healthy fowls The geese which are
plump and ready for market are sold
to dealers at the close of the inspec
ton. The rest, comprising the great
majority, go to feeding farms in the
suburbs of the city to be fattened fol
market.
There is a special market near the
great market place at which bracken-
namely, geese injured en- route, but
having no disease-are sold at re
duced price. Twenty-one different va
rieties of the Russian goose are com
mercially recognized. and the whole.

Just as Kaffir is slow in locating
pain which is being experienced in his
own body, so is he slow iir imagining
what others are suffering. A grownup
Kaffir related, says Dudley Kidd in
Savage Childhood" that when he was
child his father threatened him with
a beating if he did something or other.
The child was puzzled as to what
sort of thing beating might be, for,
although he had often seen his bigger
brothers beaten, bis Imagination was
unable to work on the sight and recon-
struct the experience of these others
into terms of his own senses.
When his father threatened him,
therefore, he simply laughed, for he
had not the remotest idea Of how a
beating really felt 1t took very
short time for the young gentleman to
extend the boundaries of his knowl-
edge.
Swift retribution followed the I'M
pardonable sin of showing disrespect
to his father As the children go about
entirely bare. there was no delay for
preparation. The father took stick
and applied it vigorously, according to
directions" and with entire success.
"When the tears and smarting were
over" said the Kaff1r in his old age, II
sat down and thought it over WELL
said to myself. now l know what
father means by beating. l don't
know what is the reason of it; but,
anyhow. I know what sort of thing
beating is often laugh when
think how stupid was before that"

Very Sympathetic.

The manager of a shop in Lewes
stood in the doorway the other day
when man with wooden leg and a
crutch came along and said:
81 want you to do me a favor. I
want to leave my leg with you for a
few minutes and 60 around to the next
street and work house for half a
crown. I've an idea that the folks are
very sympathetic. If go with one leg

Every WE'LL" said the shopkeeper.
Just leave your leg here, and I'll take
care OF it,
The wooden substitute was unstrap-
ped and handed over and the cripple
used the crutch to help himself down
the alley.
Five minutes later he rang the door
bell of a house in the next street, to
have it opened by the man he had just
seen.
"Wh-wh-whatr' he gasped.
VERY sympathetic family lives
here" quietly replied the other. "You
seem to have met with sad loss, and
I'm anxious to help you. Here is a
wooden leg which may fit you"
The leg was handed over. The man
sat down on the steps and strapped it
on. and as he got up and stumped
through the gate he said to himself:

was youngster. but this is the first
one that ever hit me with both feet at

Superstitions About a Harmless Little
Animal.
The shrew, or shrewmouse, as it is
commonly called, is found in nearly all
parts of the world. 1t is distinguished
by an elongated, pointed muzzle. small
eyes, plantigrade. six toed feet and
glands that secrete a musky fluid. AL
together it closely resembles mouse,
but 1t is really not related to the mouse
family.
When at home 1t is either under a
pile of rubbish or in a hole which it
has burrowed in the earth. 1t is noe
turnal in its habits, but perfectly harm
less. Yet at one time it was much dis
liked and prosecuted because 1t was
thought to be dangerous, mischievous
animal. Among the Italians the notion
was prevalent that the bite of shrew
was extremely poisonous. The French
and the English believed that If a
shrew ran over an animals foot the
animal felt great pain and eventually
became paralyzed; hence if horse,

its limbs the foolish people at once de-
clared 1t ''shrew struck" and the poor
shrews had to suffer in consequence.
OF course the 'shrew struck" animal
had to have something to cure it, so an
ash tree was selected and deep hole
was bored into its trunk. Then a
shrew was captured, put alive into the
hole, the hole was securely plugged.
and the innocent little animal was left
to die of starvation.
The ignorant believed that after
such an act the ash tree had power to
cure .shrew struck" animals, and
whenever an animal became inactive
or little numb in its limbs its owner
hurried to the "shrew ash" cut a
switch from it and switched the
''shrew struck" beast. The smarting
caused by the switching naturally
made the helpless animal move about
as much as it possibly could, and in a
short time it was pronounced cured"

There is one appeal to charity that

philanthropist. "That is request for

warmly appreciated by the general
public, and the fellow who has to
scrape along without one is the object
of sincere commiseration. During my
fifteen years experience in philan-
thropic work l have issued appeals to
the people at large on behalf of persons
who wanted various parts of theii
anatomy replaced. Some wanted teeth
some an eye, others hook like Cap

that kind aroused but little interest,
but just let man advertise the fact

ing to fit him out with three or four
