Not Such a Donkey as He Seemed.

The following useful hint to tourists
on their way to the Hsrtz mountains is
given by a correspondent who has
already arrived in that pleasant region /:
l was, he writes, sitting on the piazza of
an hotel close to the waterfall, when a
young Englishman mounted on a donkey
rode gayly across the bridge. The rider
was going straight on up the road, when
the donkey suddenly turned sharp round
and made for the hotel. A desperate
struggle ensued; the donkey was deter
mined, and so was his rider. The man
belabored his rebellious steed till it rear
ed, kicked, and finally threw him.
Meantime the head waiter stood by my
side watching the conflict W tn a mali
cious grin. When he saw the endorsed
rider get up, dust his knees, and proceed
to the hotel, accompanied by the don
key, he turned to me and whispered,
with confidential smile: "The gentle
man might have spared himself fall.
No one comes by the hotel without
ahghting and calling for something. We
are in the habit of feeding that donkey. :,

Not Wealthy Enough.

The Pennsylvania horse dealers and
farmers who visit Baltimore marts to
deal in equines don't spend more than
they can help in hotels or board. They
generally carry their dinners with them,
and dine in one or the other of the
numerous parks where spring water is
plentiful. A few days ago one of the
fraternity, who has bank book and
"millions in it, accepted the invitation
of Baltimore friend to remain over at
his residence during his stay in that
city. He had his luggage to drag along,
and he consequently accepted the kind
offer. Next morning he was up betimes
and so was his host, and addressing him
self to that gentleman he asked if such a
thing as fine soap could be had in the
house. The host procured it, and then,
to his surprise, saw his friend draw forth
a razor and give himself rough scrap
ing shave in most awkward manner.
While twitting him for not engaging q
barber, the old fellow replied It's
enough for one to pay car hire down
here without squandering his means on
barbers!" Tonsorial artists who have
heard the story, prophesy that the old
fellow will cut himself badly yet.

Capturing 0striches.

The greatest feat of an Arab hunter is
to capture an ostrich. 1t is the largest
of living birds and probably the swift
est of all living animals. Being very
shy and cautious, and living on the
sandy plains, where there is little chance
to take it 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. 1t
always starts with outspread wings
against the wind, so that it can scent the
approach of an enemy. Its sense of
smell is so keen that it can detect per-
son at great distance, long before one
can be seen. The other curious habit is
that Of running in circle. Usually
five or six ostrichea are found in a COM
pany. When discovered, part of the
hunters, mounted on fleet 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 the birds will be likely
to take, they watch upon some rise o.
ground for their approach. If the hunt
ers hit the right place and see the os
triches, they at once start in pursuit
with fresh horses, and sometimes over
take one or two of the birds, but Otter
two or three of the feet horses fall, com
pletely tired out with SO sharp chase.
