O-rBIcH FARNs.-The raising of the
ostrich in tame state for its feathers is
now carried on extensively IN Africa. The
birds are kept in Enclosures, and fed on
lucerne. with which the inclosure is plant
ed. Every eight months they are plucked,
some extracting the quill at once, and
others eating the quill little above its
Insertion, and then removing the roots q
couple of months later The latter method
Is said to give better results with less in-
Jury to the bird The yield Is about fifty
dollars per annum for each bird.
La breeding it is found to be best to
al. .ov one female TO each male. though in
the wild state FIVE females are often attach
eI to q single male. There are usually
TWO broods IN q year, and the male and
female sit on the eggs by turns, the male
generally taking the largest share Of this
duty. The female takes chief charge of
the brood after it Is Matched. The young
are reared on chopped lucerne, and as they
get older little grain is given to them /:
they also require abundance of water, and
a liberal supply Of pulverized quartz and
small bones When grown, no food suits
them better than chopped lucerne or ire
foil. with an occasional supply of cabbage,
fruit ami grain,-Srri5aer's t9r Jlue

THE CAUSE OF SMALL-Pox.-A German
physician has lately started the theory
that the fearful disease known as small
pox originates from an excess of albumin
Gus matter in the blood, and that this is to
be prevented by the administration of
common salt. The habits of children in
induging over freely in sweetmeats he
considers one great cause of this undue
development OF albumen, and coffee and
tea, if highly sugared tend also to excite
1t in adults. Au organic acid, such as
lemon juice, he considers the best means
Of freeing the blood when clogged up with
too much albumen, .and he alleged that by
taking these simple remedies in the way
Of preelUtion, he has, for upwards. Of
twelve years past, frequented or taken up
his abode in the most pestilential small
pox hospitals of Europe and South Amer
iea with entire impunity. The means of
prevention appear certainly simple, but
may be worthy of investigation.-Home

How TO TREAr FAINrINe PE0rLE.-
There are some observations in the Lancet
OF last week which might be studied with
advantage by police constables. Referring
to a case which lately occurred IN New
York, in which death speedily followed
the extraction Of teeth after an in
effectual endeayor to administer nitrous
oxide gas, the Lancet maintains that had
the patient, who had tainted from ter
ror, been laid fat on the floor ustead of
being kept in an upright position, she
would probably have recovered in u few
minutes, and it then points out the danger
Of treating syncope by the erect posture,
instancing the case of "a poor woman
who quite lately tainted on an English
race-course, and, having been placed by
policeman IN sitting posture, was only
saved from death by the accident of a
doctor happening opass by at the moment
and laying her down until she recovered.
The public is often moved to a slight dis
play Of Indignation when some one who
has committed the off=nse Of being taken
i'll in the street Is put to death in q police
cell but when It Is remembered that many
of our police constables were, perhaps,
agricultural laborers few weeks before
they are called upon to do duty in the
streets, and are as ignorant of the proper
method of dealing with cases of syncope as
they are Of Hebrew, the wonder is that
any insensible person who falls into their
hands ever survives police treatment.
Even the more intelligent members of the
force, who are not in the habit of jump
ing at the conclusion that every insensible
person smells of spirits and must be
drunk. and therefore use their best exer-
tions to restore consciousness in no vindic-
tive spirit, almost invariably prop their

WoNAN.-The Atlantic Monthly says
A woman, notwithstanding she Is the
best Of listeners, knows her business, and
il is q woman's business to please. don't
say that it is not her business to vote, but
do say that the woman who does not
please Is a false note in the harmonies Of
nature. She may not have youth. or
beauty, or even manner, but she must have
something IN her voice or expression, or
both, which it makes you feel better dis
posed toward your race to look at or listen
to. She knows that as well as we do and
her first question after you have been talk
ing your soul into ner consciousness is

ELECTRIC PROBE FOR WoUNps-M
Trouvt has lately exhibited before the
Scientific Association Of France his ingen-
ious probe for the search and extraction
of foreign bodies remaining in wounds
This apparatus consists of three distinct
parts, namely, a battery, probe, and au
Indicator In principle, it is founded on
the difference in condUetibiIity between
metals aud other bodies. The battery IS
formed of zinc carbon element, inelosei
in case OF hardened India-rubber herme
ticalIy sealed. the exciting liquid being
bisulphide Of mercury. The probe is "a
pipe, flexible or rigid, constructed SO
that the preliminary probing may be ef-
iccted, and then the stylets Of the indicat-
ing apparatus may be introduced Tie
indicator contains in It's interior a very
small e.ectro-magnet, with q vibrator aud
two small rods Of steel. very sharp, and
insulated from each other and as soon as
these points, which are IN connection with
the battery, touch any metallic substance,
the vibrator begins to move. lfthe metal
Is lead, the trembler vibrates regularly:
if of iron or copper, the trem5.er has
jerky movement.

4 large business firm in Chicago has un-
dertaken to utilize the Debris OF the bnrnt
district, which less sagacious men are cart
ing away at great expense. They are
building large stable, eighty by one hun
dred feet, three stories and basement, the
walls Of which, two feet thick from bottom
20 top, are made Of concretes, COM
posed of one part cement and three parts
sand, ashes. and the finer particles Of rub
bish left in the burnt district. The stuff
is mixed somewhat thinner than mortar,
and is poured into the pine board moulds
which shape the walls, while at the same
time broken brick and stone from the ruins
are imbedded as thickly as possible IN the
concrete, which sets firmly in twenty tour
hours, after which 1t IS coated with cement.
The structure requires very little skilled
labor, and its owners expect to have an
absolute fre-proof building, as durable and
handsome as if it was built OF stone, con
structed at comparatively trihing expense
principally from materials which have hith
