"The Goose Hangs hIeh."

The expression "the goose hanr
high" comes from the southern amuse-
ment known as goose pulling" A
goose. Its neck carefully plucked and
well creased, was hung by its feet to
the branch of tree. Men on horses
would ride past at a sallop. trying to
catch II by the neck and pull the head
of. The better the goose was in dedg.
Ing the greater the fun. When the
goose hung high. so the competitors
had to stand In their stirrups. the Joy
was the greatest. The whole Of this
expression Is. Everything Is lovely

LAND OF HILLS AND RAvlNES
Reasons Why Mountainous Madeira 10
Somewhat Of a Trial for the
Traveller on Foot

OF all civilized parts of the world.
Madeira is the most difficult TO get
about In. This Is because so much of
It's landscape is. as II were. set on
edge.
Once upon q time volcano broke
loose In the sea-fioor where Madeira
is now located. It built up an enor-
nous mountain. which It presently
thrust above the surface. and kept
on at the business until four lofty
islands had come into being. Two of
these are even now uninhabited. The
larger OF the other two is called Ma
deira and is terrihcally mountainous,
with many rugged peaks. the highest
OF which has an elevation Of nearly
a mile and quarter. Much OF the
coast is an Irregular line Of lofty
precipices.
The islands, built OF lava tthe
group In called "the Madelras"). are
so rugged, with steep hills and deep
ravines, that travel by any ordinary
means Is hardly practicable. Hence
tourists who visit them and well-to-do
residents are commonly carried In lit
tiers or drawn In curious sled -carria ges
by bullocks.
The Msdeiras belong to Portugal
and are $50 miles west OF the coast
Of Morocco. To keep the rich soil
from being washed OF the mountain
side. Incredible labor has been ex-
pended in the making of terraces. No
wine Of its kind approaching in quality
the old-time product OF Madeira has
been known; but about seventy-tive
years ago. the vines were well nigh
destroyed by a fungous disease. and
the output since then has been of
markedly inferior excellence.
Boy Scout /movemsnt.
Birkenhead, England, Young Mems
Christian association has a tablet
commemorating the fact that in that
edifice the boy scout movement Of the
world was publicly inaugurated Jan
uary "a, 1908. The movement has
spread to 2T countries and large and
enthusiastic bodies of scouts are TO
be found all over Europe. Australia.
South America and Japan, as well as
I'm the United States. All rendered
valuable service during the war.
Lieut.. Gen Sir Robert Baden-Pow-
ell was the organizer OF the boy scout
movement. but prominent men In
many nations have since given their
aid and influence in spreading II.

instrumental In enlisting the young
