A Goose Instead of an Eagle Suggested to
Represent Our Nation. ‘ 1 I
When the establishment of the mint'
was under discussion, 'inWashing'Nton’s
time, there were some amusing debates
in Congress concerning the devices the
coins should, bear, says the Youth's
Companion. Here is an account of one
funny squabble over the design for the
silver dollar:
A member of the House from the
South bitterly opposed the choice of
the eagle on the ground of its being the
“king 'of birds," and hence neither
proper nor suitable to represent a. na-
tion whose institutions. and interests
where wholly inimicai to monarchicai
forms of government. Judge Thacher,
in reply, playfully suggested that -per-
haps a goose might suit the 'gentelman.
as it was rather an humble and repub<
lican bird, and would also be service-
able in all respects, as the goslings
would answer to place upon the'dimes.
, This reply created considerable mere
riment, and the irate Southerner con-
sidering the humorous rejoinder an in-
sult, sent a challenge to the judge, who
promptly declined it. The bearer,
rather aetonishei, asked ”Will you be
branded as a coward?”
“Certainy, if he pleases,” replied
Thacher. “I always was one, and he
knew it, or he would never have risked
a. challenge." '
The affair occasioned much mirth,
but finally cordial-arelations. were restor-
ed, the irritable So'uther-ner concluding
there was nothing to be gained in fight-

I heard Mrs. Julia. Ward Howe not-

FATHER "OF V'FORTY-ONE CHILDREN.
Levi Bradshaw of Connecticut 11:. Banner
{other and Grandfather of the Country
A short ride from Moosup in what is
known as the Sparks district, in the
eastern part of Kiliingly, lives Levi
Bradshaw, whose record for populat-z
ing the earth is such that he deserves
to become famous. Bradshaw emi-
grated from Canada, and has lived in
that vicinity about thirteen years. He
is now in his seventy-first year. He
has been married three times and he
is the father of forty-cue children,
forty of whom are now living. By
his first wife he had six children, in-
eluding a pair of twins. ~ His second
wife bore him twenty-four children,
half of whom were tWins. His pres-
ent NwNife presented him with eleven
children. ’
Bradshaw was not 14 years old when
he married the first time. The eldest
son is now _44 and has several children
and grandchildren. Twenty-nine. of
the old man s sons and daughters are
married and all have children. The
grandfather does not know just how
large his family of grandchildren and
great- grandchildren has become. He
can enumerate up to 150, but is in the
dark as to the remainder: " He esti-
mates that they may run up to 200 or
so.
The Killingly patriarch married his
last wife in Danielson- thirteen years
ago. Only one out of her eleven chil-
dren has died. The rest are healthy
and robust, like the father Mr. Brad-

PATAGONI'A'N MARKSMANSHIP.
NCan mu Water ‘eaet. Afloat 300 Yards
Distance. N
The Yahgans live nearer to the South
Pole than any other known people.
They occupy certain.‘ small islands ly-
ing south of Terra del Fuego, andNare-
found also on the south beach of that
great island itself. The territory they
occupy is a maze of mountain peaks,
and the conditions under which they
exist are almost beyond realization by
a civilized person.
' The typical weapon of the Yahgans
is the ra‘whide sling, with which they
are able to kill waterfowl afloat at
200 yards. To hit any bird- at that
distance would be called right good
shooting. They can knock down and
stun a guanaco with a heavy reund
pebble up to a hundred years. The
reason for the sling as a tool of de-
struction is found in the fact that the
Yahgans live on the beaches, where
plenty of round pebbles are always at
hand. These islanders try out oil
from whale blubber and store it for fu-
ture use in the bladderlike leaves of a.
kind of seaweed found everywhere in
that region. ——Boston Transcript.

he would enjoy it, procured some cress,
which was added to the luxuries al-

accustomed all his life to fare of the
pl‘ainest kind, hesitated to partake of
such a decided novelty as cross, and
was induced to try it only by fear. or.
hurting his thostess’ feelings. In a
short time she noticed that tears were
coursing down Andrews cheeks, and
inquiry elicited this reply:

Fears of Children. *1
Some interesting facts dealing with
the fears of children have been collect-
ed by a well-known professor. He
found that l 201 children were afraid of
6,456 things. The leading fears were
lightning and thunder, reptiles; stran-
gers, the dark, death. domestic ani-
male, water, ghosts, insects, rats and
mice, and high words. SOme of the
fears were the results of personal ex-
perience, i.e., in a district where a
great wind had'wroughtN havoc 'the
children were afraid 'of it. In other
cases the analysis showed by what
means parents had worked upon the
imagination of their children.
In one district sixteen poor little
ones were dreading the "end of the
'world.- The Nz'NnNoNst gratifying fact of all
was that not one child had been fright-
med into obedience or good conduct
by the fear of the devil. A century or.
two ag'o that fear would have led all
the rest The pleasing inference is
met parents now. dwell upon affection
and love to; insure the goodness of
their children instead ofN terrorizing
