I A few days ago The Hoc printed a rovloi of ait ItivcHtlRation Into the ciilturo ot goal In the United States , conducted by 111 Agricultural department. Many liilerostln nml hitherto olMcurc facts were brought t light by thnt Inquiry , Illustrating the clmr aeterUiilcB okqoats. tbclr value as milk nn lildo producers , and the limitless poaslhlll tics of thu United States as a pasture Ian tor the festive butter. The Inquiry oinllto Bomo farta , however , particularly the flu spirting blood of the animal , of wlilch th Chi MRO Rent Is a aploiidld type. A Rrapht skotnh of his nrtlvlilre , traced by the Chron Irlc. is a fitting appendix to the olllclul ro port. It reads as followH : Iloanilsh could never explain the strung antipathy his goat entertains toward police men , for the goat ramo from Irclnnd and a did the ofllcers. in fact , there arc seven things about Iho habllH and mannerisms c hla goat that Drnmlnh has never oven trie to explain , letting them stand for them sclvpH. What history the goat helped t make In his nncestrnl home 1 Ireland , whn graves he filled , what homos he left desn Into and what members of the Uoyal Iris constabulary he removed from the roster c that organization Uio present narr.itlva I not concerned with. That ho was 11 gay an rollicking buck when his foot was on hi native heath can scarcely be gainsaid , nti that ho would 'brook no Interference whm e'er ho took his walks abroad his career I Chicago Oiears sulllclcnt evidence. When ilcnmlsh left behind him the hon : of his childhood and turifed his face lowar the setting HUH ho attached a rope to th neck of his pot and thtm assisted the eml Kration of that animal to thu land of th free.Vhen Ilvamlsh opened a small an unpretentious horseshoeing shop on I'aclll nvenuo near the Harrison street slatlo fiomo twelve years ago the goat was prcscn nt the dedication ceremonies and took n active part therein. Dut Hilly was not cj actly acclimated nt that time and to som degree repressed the oxubornnco of spirit which was his birthright and his domlnat Ing characteristic. Cent Moo IN Kivmiiii1i , On the corner above the blacksmith she Dennis Kavnnagh keeps a saloon. The fnt might have been unrecorded and unhfraldci lor Dennis keeps a quiet place , which ntvc figures In the police reports , bad It not bee for Ueamlsh's goat. That Importation froi a foreign soil lost no time In getting him Belt established on a familiar footing r Kavanagh's and soon opened a line of cred there. Ills peculiar penchant was sta ! beer. He might possibly have taken t fresh beer had It been available , tout on 1'a clfle avenue fresh beer , foaming and sparli ling , Is fur too precious to bo set before eve eo strong a favorite as Hcamlsh'a goat will out some medium of exchange being sllpps to the bartender. Therefore the banr whir had seen HH best days and was bereft of tli life which makes beer what It Is was set otter tor the delectation of the goat and he wer to It. A long course of treatment of this kin inculcated In Billy certain Imbits which li would linvo been better without ; the bar tender stated the case succinctly when li declared that the goat had learned to "Ilk lili hopti. " The fact was undeniable tlin after his visits to the corner saloon th goat played nntlca not nt all In kccpln with nn animal of bis careful training nm llko many another devotee ot the flowln can , ho begun to display a most marked nr tlpathy to policemen. Up to the tlmo tlu liu fell Into these evil ways nilly had bee the special pet and prldo of Iho Harrlso street station , wlilch is Bltunto hard by tli blacksmith shop of Ileamlsh. The oilicei bestowed on him their worn-out rubbers fc fipecliil founts ; he chewed up the frayed coal discarded by the force nml was generally re celvcd on n fooling of friendship and equal Hy by the coppers. Hut ns tjoon us Dllly acquired the taste fc Btalo beer ho lost hli : love for the big me in blue coatB and brass buttons who ha lavished their affection and cast-off clotl : ing upon him In the past and ho took ever opportunity of letting them know the dept of his bate. The eight of a uniform was enough I reuse the Intent fires of fury In Illlly's natui and If It happened to bo now and shining h desire to remove It from the paths of usefu ! nefH was greatly Increased. The only rcpri lionslblo thine nbnut Billy's warfare upo the police force was the fact that ho mail lila attacks from the rear and unheraldei Ho used no trumpets to sound the alarum , i Shakespeard used to Ray. He calmly waltc until the object of hlH fury pawed the nn bush where bo stood blinking. Then rcarln on hla hind legs , ho plunged gayly forwai and landed upon the policeman where didn't do the officer a bit of good. The vli Urn , baring no warning of what was in polKJlUK.-frwttH'.in .every case placed hors il combat to such mi extent that the goat wt enabled to make a dignified retreat to tl faiJtiifesos of the blacksmith shop or 11 adjacent llvory ptablo before the enemy wi mobilized for nn attack In force. Thesu assaults of the Inebriated goat b came BO Ircqucut .that hla authority m tltlo to the risht-of-'way along Paclllc nvcni was soon undisputed and olllcers going and from the police station soon profern th mor peaceable ] trip by way of Clai Btrot't to thy short and exciting Jourm down Paclllc Uvanuo. Several who szonr to bo routetl byn buck billy goat by hai praotlco beoamo prollclcnt In hurdling ni were enabled to pass the disputed terrllo by leaping over the goat when ho charge This" violent cxerciEo. however , sosn ft Into disfavor wlu-n a few Icapura fell fiha In tkalr-calculntlons and Inndol upon tl long 'and curving horns of the goat.

Hla scotllng was plain hrurd by the HarrUon police elation and w euro mistaken by Inspector lUrtnott for tl ' ' mall train fro Impn'slvM start of the 'fust < he Ja'e Shore depot , While the goat w In this peculiar gtato of mind In which h ate nothing but ads for patent health food ; granulated onts and bread llko mother use to buy a Kcnilwnan of the name of Flahertj who very naturally had a Job under the clt government , entno along Pacific avenue t perform the very necessary It somewhn humble tnek of oiling the fireplugs. 1 might bo remarked that Mr. Flaherty ha brother Jerry who has often been portlcill importuned to go oil the car. Hut thnt I another Flaherty. The horny-handed , with hla oil can flrml : clinched In his right hand and n look of re solve overspreading his brow , was hard n work restoring the lire plug to Its origins usefulness after a hard winter when th goat ambled down the avenue nnd carefull nto up the satchel In which the oiler carrlei his kit ot tools. ! avi > fliiliort.v il Hint. Having finished his luncheon , llko moa well ordered patrons of free lunches , th goat objected seriously to Its general natur and quality nnd proceeded to hint ns mucl to Mr. Flaherty. When that nblo reproeen latlvo of a great metropolis next becam conscious of being part of a busy world th doctor was tolling hla family that It mlgh bo n week , but It wouldn't e.Vcced two , am they might make preparations accordingly. Hut whllo IlcamlHh's goat wns thus In th heyday of hid power and Influence in th community it rival had rlten up over on th west Hldo. The star ot Hilly began to pal llko the moon before the approach of daw when stories were wafted over the rive about the doings of Jimmy , the prldo o West Twenty-fifth street. Ills pedigree I not as clearly traced as IK that of Ileamlsh' famous nnlmnl , but ho sprang full paiioplle Into the arena , ns they way In congri'sslona funeral oratlona. Two owners claimed bin --one a named Cordel man nlnd the other ; woman , Mrs. Thcroso Lavcnlnl. Cordel says ho missed his pet anil was wroth whei he discovered him In possession of th woman. Shi declared with vehemence Urn she had raised Jimmy from a pup and woul < never give him up while the bright blue o red blood of Italy coureed through her vclne That is. she spoke to that general effect ain so Impressed Mr. Cordell with the earnest ness of her remarks that he' hastened nwa ; to Invoke tjio law. A replevin suit for th recovery of the goat was Instituted and JIM tlco Dooley Issued the papers dcmandlii ; that the goat nnd Mrs. Lavenlnl be brough before him. Constable llruby careko man ! went out to serve the papers on th goat. He had never heard of Jimmy or hi prowess. Ho scorned the warning word which brother olllccrs would fain whisper 1 : his cars ns he started away. Knocked Out Iho ConsdiMo. Mrs. Lavenlnl would have naught of hln or his legal documents. She softly said "Till tut ! " when he warned her that he was ni olllcer of the court and should be treated a ouch. Then ho went out to the barn t sulze the goat. That was where be mnJc th gravest error of big ofllclal life. Jimmy wa not prepared to bo seized that mornlnp Mrs. Lavenlnl made a secret sign to th goat , which ho understood , as he had servci many years In a lodge and knew all th secret signs. The next moment Constabl Ilruby was down nnd a neighbor on th back porch next door was slowly couutln ; ten over him whllo the goat ate up th summons with a pensive look In hla dec blue eye. That action nl once hoisted Jimmy to th pinnacle erstwhile held by Ucamlsh'u goal The Tactile avcnuo terror has butted eve policemen ; It has made life a burden fo bailiffs and constables conocted with th Harrison street station. But in all It eventful history fame cannot lay Its tinge upon the paragraph recording that IJeam Ish's goat overturned the constable and at the summons requiring Its presence In courl Up to the hour of going to press Jimmy wa about seven points ahead of Ueamish's goa in a ten-point game , which Is an advantag not to be sneezed at.

Collins , the leading numismatic expcr of Washington to n Boston Transcript cor respondent , "tho best American coins com from abroad. This Is because tbo best preserved served coins are those which have bee : hoarded. Foreign ship captains arc ver likely to receive them In the course of bus ! ness , nnd having difllculty In passing then In their native land , nro likely to put then aside partly ns savings and partly a curiosities. Years later" , when the captal : and Tils collateral heirs are dead , they nr fished out and get Into the hands of dealer * Many years ago , besides , it used to be th practice when n child was born to set nsld a complete set of the smaller coins of tha date , and frequently they were secured frcs from the mint. If they were carefully kcp and have been handed down a couple oj generations orations , they nro likely to have a premluc value. "Most of the rare coins now dlscovere como from tbo farm. Some man who live In a very rural region far from the railroad nnd who earns bis money slowly nnd doc his own banking , may decide to buy a nei wagon , and he asks Maria whore those ol coins done up In a stocking nro. These ge straightway Into the 'local ' bank , nnd th cashier , who has a list of premium coin pinned up beside the window , takes out an which are worth more than their face vnlm If ho lets them go by they are caught In th c.ltv bank , or again nt the sub-treasury. Ver few go s far an the L'nltod Stairs treasurj During all the years I wax In the treasury never came across anything which hal an special value. Employes of the trensur arc engaged In a small way In coin and not collecting , and are permitted to take goo numismatic ( specimens nnd substitute thcl value In other coinage. " Professional coin-dealers , not only 1 Washington , but all over the country , ar greatly bothered as a result of a typo graphical error In a newspaper arllcl which has been going through the exchanges Among other thing * the article tells of th pajtncnt not long ago of $1,000 for a $5 gel | piece cf Iho date ot 1S22. But the date wa I accidentally made to read ISS2. There ar ' over M.Onu.OOO worth of the 1SS2 gold piece In circulation , and about every man wh happened to read that story has been nb' to eccurc n gold piece which agreed wit1 the description. And ho has been taking I to Iho dealers and demanding $1,000 for II Many dealers have posted a sign near th I door rending : "Which have you n $3 plec I of 1SS2 or ono of 1822 ? The price of th ' former Is J3 ; of the latter $1,000. " When customer enters In n state * of evident ex cllemcnt his attention Is called to the sli In a Washington pawnshop Mr. Collln recently dlwovered an article which h prizes highly. U Is a gold badge of th Order of the Cincinnati , which wns founde by George Washington. It bears the dnt 17M. The order Is undoubtedly the oldea r.nd most honorable of Its kind In the Unite States , and these badges of membershl , which have been handed down as hplrloom 1 are naturally regarded highly by their pos Rossors. How came It In the possession o ' the pawnbroker , whether by theft or by dlr , necessity. Is not known. The design Is n j heraldic eagle carrying a laurel wreath I > Its beak. hi red and blue enamel In th center Is n miniature which Bccms to rp resent a meeting of ofllcers under a tree. I Is pendant from a bar and ribbon , nnd I finished rn both sides. The gold In It I worth nbout $20 , but Its value as a curloslt Is very imuch greater. The government secret service frcqucntl ; receives material niulstnnce In detecting ani punishing counterfeiters from the collector and dealers In rare coins. The prcinlun values paid for these coins furnish a stroni motive for making the Imitation article ani dealers are obliged to be on the alert all th I tlmo. Altering dates Is the practice mos frequently rtsorted to by the operators Thl Is a much simpler thing than the manu facture of an entirely new coin ; in fact K < simple thnt few dealers In the country wll accept fine specimens of the most rare coin without a careful Investigation of their his tory. This Is notably true of the 1SOI dollar which commands a price In the thousand and of which there arc supposed to bo enl ; three or four In existence. In altering th dote the electrotyplng process Is employe and nn old 1S01 dollar taken as the basis o operations. The figure 1 Is removed ani then the whole Is coated with n thin layer c wax , through which u. figure -1 Is etched When the coin Is put Into the plating solu tion the sliver Is deposited only on tha part from which the wax has been removed The figure " 1" thus produced Is carefull ; finished off with engraving tools and th result Is something calculated to deceive th very elect. About the only way these coun terfelts can be detected Is by the uncer talnty as to their history. The man wh offers it to the dealer cannot give a con nccted and substantiated account of th channels through which It came Into hi possession. Usually the coin's blograph goes back to a tramp or a ealoon keeper , be yojid which point It Is vague and misty The story usually told to account for th scarcity of this dollar of 1S01 Is that ncarl ; the entire mintage was on board the frlgat Philadelphia when It was blown up In th bay of Algiers to keep It from falling int the hands ot the- pirates with whom th United States was then at war. If this b true the genuine article Is not likely to be come plentiful unless some one does som successful prospecting in the waters of th Mediterranean. During the years Mr. Collins has been CD ! IcctliiK curios and old coins' many thing have come .Into bis posscssslon , each telllui a pathetic ntory of fading grandeur nm broken fortune. Heirlooms , family jewels brlc-a-brac and articles which the orlgina owner spent a lifetime of effort In ever ; part of the world to get together are dlsposoi of in ono lot or let go piece by piece fo the wherewithal to buy bread and coal "Broken fortunes and unworthy sona o worthy sires arc what the collector thrive on , " said Mr. Collins.

The saw supposition would not hold good today , fo poker has become ono of the standing game In society and both sexes are playing It ; I anything , the women with more avidity tha the men. In family parties , it Is true , th game Is sometimes played Just for fun , bu generally for small stakes.

A correspondent h : | asked how to obtain n library position , win i to do , and to whom to apply. | For the work a training Is absolutely It dispensable , nnd though there nro exccllei librarians who began their work before 1 brnry schools were In existence , they ai now qualified by years of experience. Thei nro four library schools In this countr ; The school In the State library at Albany the oldest , and college graduates are pn ferred for students and a two years' cours Is obligatory. The nearest school for Ne Yorkers Is that of Pratt Institute In Brool' ' lyn. This Is In close touch with the larj circulating library of the Institute and tl students receive the benefit ot It. The ei trance examinations take place every Jun nnd a class of twenty Is selecte.l froi among the candidates who pass the beet e > amluatlons , tbelr general appearance of 11' ' ness for the work being also taken Into cor slderatlon. The course Is for one year , wit I an optional second year course for spcfli i work , such us historical and blbliographlca ' or work for children's libraries. The pupil , of the school take up advanced cataloguln | nnd bibliography at the Lenox library. The entrance examinations are not slmpl nnd presuppose a large amount of gener ; Information. There le no preparatory coun l for the wcrk , and the bchool authorities ret I omrncnd ns the best preparation n revle of gcntrnl history and literature , particular ! that , of Kngland and America , with nott of important recent and current events. Tl : | list of questions used at ono examination ai ] sometimes sent to those who wish to cnlc for examination to give a general Idea c their scope. A few questions that were given at tli examination lai't year will give a general Idc of these. "What were the Important resull of the Wars of the Roses ? " "Trace the tor ritorlal expansion of Kngland since tl " ' ' the doctrhi reign of Elizabeth ? 'Discuss of slates' rights , showing Us origin , devol opmcnt , and the part it played In the civ war ?

There were other questions of many kind anil translations to be made 3f simple ser te'nces and lltles in French and Genual This will give gome Idea of what Is require of the would-be librarian as a foundation. The course requlrvs the entire tlmo < the students and they arc not able to carr on any other line of work during the thro teims of the year. The tuition per term fi the first year is $23 and for the second yen $15. The cost of materials amounts to froi $20 to $2ri. A part of the work of the firs yrur consists of trips to different cltlc ! These are not obligatory , but students ai advised to take them , as valuable clat exercises , where libraries are visited. Thl makes nn additional cost of something Ilk $25. These who dcstro to enter the echo < should send to the director of Pratt It stltuto for an application blank. Th chances of entrance arc not affected b the order of application. The examination are entirely competitive. Certificates < the institute are given to the students wli satisfactorily complete the course. Posl lions are not guaranteed , but woll-trninc students ot ability do not have great dlT ( culty In finding them. In addition to these regular schools thei Is a system of apprenticeship In other llbrt rice where the student enters and remnlr for a certain period without rcimmerntloi thus obtaining the desired education. / the Public Library of Now York , 111 Astc i place , Dr. John S.
