Capturing Ostriehes.

The greatest feat Of an Arab
hunter is to capture an ostrich. It
is the largest Of living birds and
probably the swiftest of all living
animals. Being very shy and eau
tious. and living on the sandy
plains, where thele is little chance
to take by surprise, it can only be
captured by a well-planned and
long-continued pursuit with the
swiftest horses. The ostrich has
two curious habits in running when
alarmed. It always starts with
outspread wings against the wind,
SO that it can scent the approach of
an enemy It's sense of smell is so
keen that it can detect a person at
a great distance, long before one
can be seen. The other curious
habit is that of running in circle
Usually five or six ostriches are
found in q company. When dis-
covered, part of the hunters,moun-
ted on feet horses, will gallop
away at right angles to the course
the ostriches have taken. When
these hunters think they have
gone far enough to cross the path

A slight Mistake.

Says the Huron County Mich.
Chronicle: He took the evening
through train up from Cleveland,
and in looking through the cars dis
covered a female sitting alone in a
seat, and it instantly occurred to
him that she might be lonely. A
veil dropped over her face, but
there was no reason to suppose
that she was not good looking, and
he gallantly raised his hat and sat
down beside her, remarking, with
lovely smile, ''It's lonely travelling
alone"
She just murmured reply, but
the accent was captivating, and he
was won at the start.
He was practiced in all the arts
of polite tactics, and spoke to her
softly of this great desolate world,
with appropriate illusions to hu-
man hearts. He told her how he
had hungered and thursted after
the affection of a true heart, and
yearned to feel the breath of the
heavenly flame of love.
NO" he sighed, he had no wife,
no one to love and caress him and
mend his suspenders; and when he
inquired if she was treading the
path of life single and alone, she
murmured SO pensively and sad
that he felt compelled to put his
arm on the back of the seat least
she should fall out of the window
which was closed.
They reached Norwalk, and just
as the train stopped he heard o
creating, kissing sound close to
his ear, and thu words: "Y GU
villain, GU old hypocritical sin.
ne r, I'll make you think you've
been struck by breath of heaven
~ flame, you old owl"
He looked around just far enough
to get a glimpse of pair of fiash>
ing eyes and the face of his wife,
who had murmured SO fondly to
him along the journey. A sudden
spasm seized him, but he managed
to accompany her from the train;
and as they moved into the dark
ness toward home her flashing eye
lit up his pale face with spectral
effect.

The Future Of the Potato Crop.

The Future Of the Potato Crop.
Will the beetle destroy the pc
tato crop and make the growth OF
this important edible either impos-
sible or greatly restricted! We
give decided No to both of these
questions, frequently asked of us
personally and almost every day
suggested by the fears of our ex-
changes.
The potato is far too important
o crop to be stamped out of exist
ence by tho beetle. Intelligent
and enterprising farmers would
find means of growing potatoes
enough for general use were the
difficulties fourfold what they are.
Possible the price of potatoes
might be doubled, or even trebled,
but the use of the vegetable would
be more profitable than ever before.
Potatoes have always been too
easily grown. Hence the price has
been low and the farmer has not
had any fair pay for the hard work
of handling potato crop. Hence
forth IN doing some additional
light work in destroying potato
beetles, by planting on better soil
and better culture, the crop will
be larger, the price better, and the
receipts perhaps trebled, at o slight
additional cost per acre. The po
tato beetle will, without doubt,
increase the price of potatoes some
what, and in this the consumer
must suffer; but farmers who know
how to deal with the enemy can
and will make more money from
potatoes than ever before. The
potato is henceforth transferred to
the list of crops not easily grown,
and therefore always most profits
able. It is skill and patience which
best pay in farming, and not brute
strength, and these are what potato
culture needs. So long as it was
business that mainly employed
strong arms and backs in digging
and securing the crop, potato
growing was not a very inviting
occupation, however profitable.
Now, by the perfecting of nachin-.
cry for planting and digging pota-
toes. the mutual labor has been re-.
duced SO per cent. It is now q
question of moral and intellectual
qualities, and only those farmers
will succeed who are able to see
what is needed and have the perse-
verance and patience to do it. In
less words, potato growing is to be
in fewer hands until larger por-
ton of American farmers are more
thorough and successful in their
business
The potato beetle, common with
most insect enemies, will prove a
blessing in disguise to American
farmers. Many of them may not
see this now, but ten or twenty
years hence they will. The nudge
in wheat compelled farmers to
prepare their grounds better, to
put in feed more carefully, and to
manure better than ever before,
and we believe the potato beetle
will ultimately have as good an eff
feet on growers of the potato.
There is neither reason no religion
in dependency Reason and ex-
perience tell us that when any in
sect becomes too plenty something
is sent to check it, and we are told
in the Good Book that while the
earth endureth summer and winter,
seed time and harvest shall not
fail.-Rural New Yorker.

the birds will be likely to take,
they watch upon some rise OF
ground for their approach. If the
hunters hit the right place and see
the ostriches, they at once start in
pursuit with fresh horses, and
sometimes overtake one or two of
the birds, but often two or three of
the feet horses fall, completely
tired out with SO sharp q chase.
