Monurel Geese,

The mongrel goose is generally the
result of a mating between a Canada
gander and some dark colored domes.
tic, usually an African or a Toulouse.
T. is difficult to fatten mongrels prop
erly until the cold weather comes, when
they fatten very readily. They are
never sold as green geese, being re-
served for the trade. A mongrel prop
erly fed will have better favored meat
than the pure bred improperly fed.

Caponizinu Fowls.

The large breeds are best for cap.
onizing. A few months old capon is
no better than a cockerel. A capon
will more readily put On fat and get
large and prime after maturity. The
object of caponizing is to secure
quality and size, but quality is the
most important. Age does not impair
a capon as it does a cockerel, provid-
ed the bird is not kept longer than a
year and half.
Capons will have to mature before
they can get much flesh, and for that
reason they cannot be sold while
young.

Farmers must learn the basic prin-

feed them with phosphorus, have COW

we easily may, we will have no longer

tage in placing our productions in
fresh condition upon our markets.

How Turner Painte fl.

If we are to believe Thornbury, the wonderful Burning of the Hou~c of Lords aud Commons" was almost en- tireiy painted after the canvas was hung on the walls of the Royal acad- emy. So certain was Turner of him. self at that period that he would send to the exhibition just d laid in sketch. trusting entirely to vanishing days to complete the scheme. He would arrive at the academy as early as o'clock in the morning and be among the last to leave in the evening. Unlike Lawren"e. who had to step back constantly to judge of effects, Turner would work so to say. with his nose to the canvas. When Lord Hill at too close quarters looked at the houses of parliament pie ture he condemned 1t as nothing but dabs." Catching its magical effect from a just distance. however. he exclaimed enthusiastically: Painting. God bless me! So 1t is!' According to Thorn bury, Turner made number of sketch es of the fire, but produced two pie lures only.-London News.

The Ancient Greek Theater.

The performance at Athens. in an- cient Greece. began at dawn. and. as several pieces were produced one after the other, these performances lasted the whole day. On the days the per formances were given all work was suspended, business put off. impris- oned debtors were set free and arrests strictly prohibited. Long before sum- rise thousands of people assembled. and outside of the theater noisy crowds of men, women and children congregated, all bent upon enjoying themselves and eager to obtain the best seats. Many of them brought their food with them. and in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the peo- pie copious quantities of fiery Greek wine were given to impecunious citi- zens by willy authors. who endeavored thus to buy the applause of discrim- mating public.

Pickpoc ckets,

Pickpockets ordinarily travel in mnhs and are of two distinct types Uf,' small or medium %t:tCrp. the other tail
 and muscular. AS d rruerTll rule, the age runs from eiGhspln to thirt! five. Their hands are soft. show no signs of work and the fingers of all except the stall" and particularly the fingers of the wire" are long and slender. Their eyes are shifting and furtive. Their complexion is generally sallow and without distinct color. this, being due either to prison pallor in types or to the use of cocaine or other drugs. The cocaine users show drawn fea- tures, prominent cheekbones and uSu- ally have distinct rings around the eyes. The temperament of pickpockets is high strung, because of the dangers of the profession or from the use of drugs. At the same time they are po- lite almost to the point of obsequious- ness. They seldom carry weapons and almost never resort to force. On duty they dress to suit the occasion. gener- ally well, but not conspicuously. They avoid wearing anything that might lead to identification.-Chica News.

Why Ha Played It.

Some years ago the Oldham anna teurs were producing one of Handel's oratorios under the personal tuition and conductorship of the late Charles E1lle. Among the orchestra was the famous and gigantic bassoon player. George Seel. At the final rehearsal Halle went to George and, indicating several bars for the bassoon, told him not to play them on the night of the performance. George was inwardly boiling with indignation. but said noth- ing.
 On the night of the performance George played the banned music. When the affair was over Halle went up to Seel in a great rage and, point ing to the notes, said:
 T told you to leave that out, didn't I?"
 Aye. you did" said George. but Handel towd me to put 1t in. and he were a better judge than you:'-Lon- don Answers.

Whoever Loves Is Never Old.

When life has been well spent age is a loss of what it can we'll spare-fnus- cular strength. organic instincts. gross bulk and works that belong to these. But the central wisdom which was old in infancy was young in fourscore years and. dropping off Instructions. leaves in happy subjects the mind puri- fed and wise. 1 have heard that who- ever loves is in no condition old. have heard that whenever the name of man is spoken the doctrine of inn mortality is announced. 1t cleaves to his constitution. The mode of it baf- hes our wit. and no whisper comes to us from the other side. But the infer ence from the working of intellect, having knowledge. having skill-at the end of life just ready to be born-af- firms the inspiration of affection and of the moral sentiment.-Ralph Waldo Emerson.

You can't al ways judge by appearances because have another friend who's thirty-eigh. and has family and yet he looks so young people take him for his own son I know you think I'm not telling the truth. but why people should lie about their age is more than'I know,-New York Sun.

"OId Hickory,n

The following story is told of how General Andrew Jackson got his title of "Old Hickory" Captain William Allen, who was near neighbor of the general, messed with him during the Creek war. During the campaign the soldiers were moving rapidly to sur prise the Indians and were without tents. A cold March wind came on. mingled with sleet, which lasted for several days. General Jackson got Il severe cold, but did not complain as he tried to sleep in a muddy bottom among his half frozen soldiers. Cap tain Allen and his brother. John, cut down a stout hickory tree. peeled off the bark and made a covering for the general, who was with difficulty per suaded to crawl under 1t. The next morning drunken citizen entered tho camp and, seeing the tent. kicked il over. AS Jackson crawled from the ruins the toper cried: Hello. Old Kick ory!

Life of the Sun.

Adopting the we'll known hypothesis of Helmholtz, which attributes the production of the heat emitted by the sun to its contraction, an idea can he formed of the suns duration. If one gives to the sun a coefficient of ex- pansion intermediate between that of mercury and that of gas one arrives at the conclusion that it has taken 1.O00.- GOO to 100000 years for the sun to contract to its present radius; in par ticular, it would have taken 10000 years to contract from infinity to a radius twice its present radius. Finally, the sun will take 2o0.0oO,oO0 years to con- tract from its present radius to half that radius, and even then its tempera- ture at the surface will be 5000 de- grees.-Scfentific American.

When an Eskimo Dies.

When an Eskimo is dying you will notice the inmates of the house nov ing everything out of doors: otherwise it would be contaminated by the pres ence of the dead man and rendered un- fit for use. Among some tribes the dying man himself is borne outside. He is never taken out through the en- trance tunnel, but always through the smoke hole or back of the house, and the passage is then closed so that his spirit will not find its way back. The Eskimos appear to have an uncanny presentiment of the approach of that dread spirit who comes to one and all. When you see them preparing the graveclothes of one of their number who is i'll you may know that his end is near. I do not think that they do anything to hasten the end, although they may stab or hang the hopelessly infirm at their own request. It ap- pears to be an instinctive feeling which is common to primitive people and which is often noticed in the lower animals.-Wide World Magazine.

Peerages have little of the perma- hence of pyramids. Forty years ago q careful calculation was made which showed that of PIT peerages created during the preceding forty-five years only 133 remained upon the rolls. or the Plantagenet peerages only fourteen survived, of the Tudor eleven and of the Stuart forty-six. During the reign of George III. more than 400 titles were created. of which in 1875 2TO had sappeared.-London Standard.
