The Toulouse Is the largest breed, the adult guilder uud geese weighing 25 uud It) pounds, respective ly, while the standard weights o f the Kiuden are 20 and 18 pounds. Ueese can be raised in small num bers successfully and at u profit bn many farms where there Is low, rough pasture land containing a natural sup ply of water. The market for geese is not so general us for chickens, hut the demand and prices are especially good In sections where goose fattehing is conducted. Geese need only a house during cold or stormy weather, when an open shed should he provided. One guilder is mated with from one to three geese, und the matings are not chunged from year to year unless they prove un satisfactory. When mated, tney are allowed to run together In flocks. Tou louse und Kmden geese will breed when about two years old. The fe males ate usually kept until they ure from twelve to fourteen years old, or as long as they lay well. Sex Is diffi cult to distinguish, especially In young geese. The gander Is usually some what larger and courser than the goose, und bus a leaner, longer neck und a larger head. The sex is some times determined by a critical exam ination or by the action of the geese at mating time. I.urge boxes, barrels or shelters are provided as nests for geese, or they ure allowed to muke nests on the floor o f the house. The eggs should he col lected dally und kept In a cool place. First eggs are usually set under hens while the lust ones which the goose luys may be hatched either under hens or under the goose If she “ goes broody."

The rush of outside work detracts from their care and Interest In them at a time when such attention always pays best. All young animals worth raising should be well fed from the start. If possible, they should be fed whole milk three times u day until at least one week old. As a general rule, 12 pounds of milk a day for each 100 |>ounds o f live weight should be fed. This rule may be followed appn mately for all ages and for all kinds of liquid food. When quite young the calf should have access or he encouraged to eut the following dry grain mixture after Its feeding of milk or gruel food—30 pounds cormneul or hominy, 30 pounds wheat bran. 30 pounds ground oats H e r strik in g b eau ty j)nd b rillia n t p laying has th ro w n Renee Chemet, th e young P a ris ia n vio lin ist, into th * spot light of the m usic-loving w orld.

I N A broad sense, habit may be “ ■ termed the element of conscious or un< •iscious persistence. Some habits are opposed to noble growth, such as Indolence, indifference to lofty Impressions, forgetfulness, the acquirement o f ragged tempers, vul gar speech, failure to ailupt one’s self »o new circumstances, fuu!’ finding and the common liahlt of thinking evil of one’s friends and neighbors. There are hundreds of such habits which are opposed to the development of the best there Is In us, ruinous alike to our future careers and con tentment. By following a train o f wrong Ideas again and again, we gradually lese our ability to distinguish evil from good. We become skeptical, cynical, nar row, and unless by some fortunate discovery we see the fulslty o f our position before 1» Is too late fo mend, we find ourselves In company with the grouches, sour-faced and fault finders. No man or woman who would win success and the good opinion o f his or her friends, can hope to do so without first overcoming his or her degrading habits. To do this there most be formed the practice of mental watchfulness with a trill power behind It capable of moving always In the right direc tion. The flxetf disposition to do a thing comes from numerous repetitions. It Is by such a process that good or bad customs are formed, which ultimately take to the bright hilltops or down the darlt valley of failure and dis couragement. One o f the good habits to form In youth is that of attention, especially In regard to advice from parents, who know from experience what Is needed for the stimulation of grow ing minds. This applies with like force to everybody In all stations of life, nnd especially to those who are dependent on others. The habit of giving Intense atten tion to orders, however trivial, and remembering them when the time ar rives for their execution, marks the difference between the competent and the incompetent, the foolish, und the wise, those who are destined for life servitude and those who are destined to lead. Every good habit is laudable, every bad habit reprehensible. C R O W ’S REVENG E TUT It.

What Mr. Dog was barilng about really wasn't on account of Mr. Crow at all. He had not noticed him, for under the stone wall Mr. Dog had seen Mr. Rabbit hop out of his sight and also his reach. But the barks had brought Mr. Man with his gun and, seeing only Mr. Crow, he popped the gun at him. But this did not matter« nt all to I Mr. Crow. He did not know anything about It. anyway, and now every day he watched Mr. Dog. whenever he hap pened to see him, to find a way to both er him. If he could.

Mr. Crow watched and then he flew over to where Mr. Dog disappeared under a rail fence Into the garden, and by the wall on the other side he saw Mr. Dog dig a deep hole and hide In It a very fine-looking bone. “ Stole It, I am sure he did,” said Mr. Crow, forgetting that he was one of the worst of thieves himself. But right then Mr. Crow was struck with a thought. He had a plan by which he could pay Mr. Dog for harking that day he was In the cornfield. Mr. Crow waited until Mr. Dog had the bone burled and the earth nicely covered over it, and Mr. Dog was trot ting off home, lie then flew over to ((£) by M cC lure N ew sp ap er S yn d ica te.) --------o -------- “What’s in a Name?’’ THE ROMANCE OF WORDS By MILDRED M A R S H A L L “ GYPSY” Facta about gout name; Ht history; moaning; whence H Wot derived; significance; gout tacky Jag and lucky Jewel UST as America was named for an explorer who had no right to the honor, and the “ tpr- key” (French dinde or poulet d’ lnde, Indian thicken) halls from the Western hemisphere Instead o f the eastern, the name “ gypsy” Is applied on account o f the early belief that these wondering tribes had their ori gin In Egypt Instead of from a more distant land.

In a short time Mr. Crow was at a farm some distance down the road, where there lived Mr. Towser Dog. , Mr. Crow did not care any more for Mr. Towser than he did for any other dog, but he was the one that lived the nearest to the spot where the bone was burled, so he called on him. Mr. Towser Dog was nppplng, with his head poked out o f his house, when Mr. Crow arrived, and the loud “ C a w ! Caw !” that he gave made Mr. Towser open his ejy*s. “ Where is your Master?” inquired Mr. Croy, w ishing to be sure he w as In no danger before he told his secret to Mr. Towser. , “ He has gone off and left me at home,” whined Mr. Towser. “ Are you chained?” Inquired Mr. Crow. “ Of course I am not chained," re plied Mr. Towser, Jumping up to show he was free. "Master never chains me. He knows I would not run away. I have the place to guard, don’t yon see?” “ You would not run away even for a nice bone If you knew where there was one, I suppose,” said Mr. Crow, cock ing his head. “ Well, I would not say I wouldn’t If I was certain where It was,” said Mr. Towser. Mr. Crow told him and off he ran. He found the bone and was hack be fore his master returned, but In the meantime Mr. Crow had a feast in the cornfield, and when he went to bed that night he felt he had done a good day's work. It was some time after that Mr. Crow, who was on the watch, saw Mr. Dog scratching and digging where he had burled the bone, and acting In the most excited manner because he could not find It. “ Caw, caw," cried Mr. Crow. “The next time you see me In the cornfield perhaps you will not bark nnd try to get me shot; caw, caw, caw.” But, though Mr. Dog heard him, he did not In the least know what Mr. Crow meant, and that la the way It often happens, that those who work hard to get revenge for some funded wrong fall as far short o f getting It as Mr. Crow did. For what he really wanted was that Mr. Dog should know he was to blame for the l»one being gone and Mr. Dog never did know 1L ^ woman who bears It may be assured that famous women of unrevealed centuries have answered to It, for it exceeds Rome In antiquity. Like Its masculine counterpart, Julius, It had Ita origin In the Julian gens that pre ceded Roman civilization. Various legends are put forth to account for “Julius” and historians differ widely, but the generally accepted theory Is that Julius is the diminutive of "diua,” meaning divine, and was evolved In the same manner that Zeus, father of the gods, came to be the Roman Jup iter. I f such Is the case, Julia may fairly be called a daughter o f the gods. Just as the masculine Julius was famed through Jullua Caesar and be came hereditary throughout the em pire, so the feminine counterpart was accepted as hereditary and was adopt ed as ornamental In other countries when classical names came Into fash ion. The “ Julie" of Rousseau's "Nou- velle Heloise” made Julie very popu lar In France, Kntland, Spain and Por tugal kept her Intact as Julia, hut Italy changed her to Giulia, and Rus sia added the typically Slavic touch o f Julija. Juliana came Into vogue after SL Juliana was beheaded at Nlcoraedla under Garellus and her relics were en shrined at Rome and later Brussel*. The Normans changed It to Julienne.
