c . iénuoxmeu GEESE __ ALIVE Is COMMO. In iroland, Says a Writoriln Witches- manâ€"Brutal to Do 'It Three Times a Year J 'A remarkable article appears 1in ftire .Weekly Freeman of Dublin on the .plucking of geese alive. The writer says: It wasfia member of the Society for the Prevention "o'f’Cruelty‘t‘o Animals "who brought up the subject in our hearing a short time ago. "I hear," he said, "horrible stories of the brutalities practised on geese in Ireland by the plucking of their feathers while they aretalive‘butil do not know that amount of truth there is in them. Can you tell me any- thing about it?" p 1 “It is allowed by ‘the law, dust as the shearing of sheep is," we ‘temporo ized, evading a. direct reply "Is it true," he persisted, “that in many parts of the country there are feather pedlars going around buying feathers who pay the -wners of geese so much for what they call ‘a pluck'?" - We had to admit that we had heard of the institution. ".‘Is it true that to a large number of these pedlars ‘a pluck simply means tearing off as much as he can get off she wretched bird without actually k‘iiling her, and that on the white goose, who can survive it, this barbar- ity may be practised three and even four times in the year?" ' “The law allows it," we repeat. “But we agree with you that it is an abomination that ought to be put a 5stop to. . . . Yes, it is to be seen through the country in many parts-â€" droves of shivering geese, with half- ’dead eyes, plucked so mimosst bare Ethat their wings are dragging on the ’ground.” "Then you disapprove of plucking alive altogether?’ ’ I “Most certainly not. Goose feathers are very valuable, and a considerable ‘amount of t? ~ profit of geese rearing arises from their sale. There is no cruelty in plucking feathers when they lare beginning to loosen and drop off at the natural season, and when care- ‘Iully and humanely done. On the con- ;trary, it is as benefich'. to the bird to 'remove the surp.-s coat as it is' to ‘the ‘sheep to shear off its wool. But it cer- ainly can’t be beneficial either to the bird or to its owner to let it be pluck- gad three .times a year, because the .stock that -uch tortured animals ipro- lduce are scare worth the rearing-i-‘ts saying powers, too, must be reduced 0 the lowest ebb." ' In conclusion, We assured the in- lquirer that as far as we knew, readers of the Weekly Freeman did not allow such cruelties to be practised on their defenceless stock. Certainly not those who in their childhood had been mem- ers of the Fireside Club, whose ad- irable object in existence is to en- ourage the love of nature and the umane treatment of all dumb crea- ures. The practice of such live pluck- ng was general in England a hundred years ago, but the growth of the mo- ern spirit of humanity, combined ,a ith utilitarian considerationsâ€"the ‘harm done to sound stock birdsâ€"have lbrought it into discredit. MORALS AND MANNERS Cleanliness is next to godliness. The apparel proclaims the man. ,- Speech is the index of the mind. ‘ Clean linen gives moral strength. ~ True delicacy is solid refinement. A loud voice bespeaks a vulgar man. Good taste is the flower of good sense. ' Refinement creates beauty every- .. here. i If a man be a feel his speech will hell it. : Slovenly attire betokens a careless mind. A foolish woman is known by her tinery. ' Excessive laughter shows a shallow mind. f Beauty without grace is a violet .without scent. ; He is the best dressed whose dress no one observes. The powar of dress is great in com- mending respect. The manner of speaking is as im- portant as the matter. When the taste is purified, the men Vols are not easily corrupted. Laughter costs too much if it is bought at the expense of propriety. Such as are careless of themselves can hardly be mindful of others. h THE REASON WHY ‘ Lieutenant-General Sir J. H. Wode- Ihouse once silenced a bore in a very quiet way. A military gentleman was laying down the law as to what ought lto have been done throughout the South African Campaign. “Now, take yourself. Wodehouse.” he said. “You imust admit that I have done better than you did on occasions.” “Not the slightest doubt about it, Geieral," re- !plied Sir Joceline. “I am glad to hear you say so," answered the other. "‘Now, why should I have done better than you, let me ask?" he continued. “Because,” replied the Lieutenant- General. very quietly, “I was not there at all." The other then remembered that he had an important appointment. no we G T WHAT we ASK FOR? A vast number of incorrect notions are acquired by reason of misleading names. but. after all, is it of any pan tieular importance so long as we get what we are after? ‘ For instance. we go into a shop and its; for a glitch clock. We set a clock. me me we 'were after, so It doeé‘ not 'really matter that it is not a Dutch clock at all, but of German manufac- iture. Practically all the wooden clocks called Dutch are made at the millage of Freyburg, in the Black For- est. It is all due to mispronunciation. “Donnell” in German means "Ger- man." . Nothing is more natural than to as- sume that Indian ink comes from In- dia, but it does not, and never did, any more than did India-rubber. The for- mer comes from China. Camel's hair brushes are not made from the hair of camels, but from hairs from the tails of Russian and Siberian squirrels. gang-1“ EDWARD ALBERT Prince of Wales MIXED MRMING Vice-President Bury ls Much interes- ted In the SubJect Vice-pissident Bury, of the Caner ’dlan Pacific Railway, while in Calgary reurning from a trip to the Coast, laid the company is very much in- terested in the question of mixed farming, and will do everything in its powar to encourage the farmers to engage to a greater extent in this branch of agriculture. He believed that more mixed farming was essen- tial 'to the welfare of the Country and it is astonishing to find so much agri- cultural produce being imported. "On this trip," he said. "I was served with butter from New Zealand, mutton from Australia, fruit from the United States, marmalade from England. and potatoes from Virginia. At Vancou- ver I noticed a shipment of twenty- five carloads of condensed milk from Eastern Canada being loaded on a ves- sel for export. All these articles should be produced in Western Cana- a." AGRICULTURE AT COAST Development of the Farming industry in British Columbia .â€" Agriculture is more and more giving promise of becoming to British Colum- bia what it has already become to the Provinces of the prairiesâ€"not only the staple. but the leading industry. This Province produced in the year 1911 agricultural products valued at $21,641,928, an increase for the year of $7,242,888, or 50.8 per cent. This sum of nearly twenty-two millions was made up in large part as follows: Milk. $3,295,000; fruit and vegetables, $5,084,241; hay, 84,918,566; 32,160,827; eggs, $255,112; honey 36.173. These figures are official and are from ‘a bulletin issued recently the Department of Agriculture at V ria. To their total one must add the year's share of the ten million dollars' worth of live stock held ou the farms and ranches of the Province. This would bring the value of farm Koducts for the twelve months with- easy distance of the output of British Columbia's two greatest indus- tries, mining and lumbering and would place it far in the lead of fishing, the next industry. The mines of the Province yielded in 1911 $28,211,816; the forests, $24,828,000, and the fish- cries,‘$1‘1,ooo,009, , ' 38,000 Children Made Happy At the annaul meeting of the Chil- dren's Happy Evenings Association, held at the residence» of the Countess of Zetland, London, the Countess of Jersey reported that during the past year 38,000 children had been made happy at an expense of ten cents per head.

Her book was broken by a tel when she won three years old, and the next years she spent strapped to 'a chair. Elbe had so far recovered at the end of this time that she was able to go to school, and at the age of 14 the idea of (Martins a school of her own occurred to her, for she knew from experience that there was widespread ignorance amonggirls and boys in New Orleans. Miss Wright found a banker who was willing to lead her $10,000 at 8 per cent. and with this capital she rented a building and with a stafl of capable assistants started a night school. An outbreak of yellow fever scan made it necessary for her to close the school, but she converted it into a storehouse for medical supplies. and she and her assistants joined in the work of stamping out the fever. When the epidemic was over, the Wright School was threatened with bankrupt- cy, but a friendly banker came to her assistance, exinguished the original Joan, and reduced the interest "on the mortgage. 80 the Work was re- sumed, and Miss Wright's school has attracted thousands of pupils since then. The gentle cripple seemed to exert a spell over the roughest of her scholars. and many of them were ‘umsformed from rowdies into gentle- men, and started fairly on the road to success by' her interest in them. ; VALUABLE STAMPS i If you have any British Central Africa. penny red and blue stamps for 51898 knocking around, take care of them.
