CAPTURING 0srnIoHEs. One Of the greatest
feats of an Arab hunter is to capture an os-
trich. Being very shy and cautious, and
living on the sandy plains, where there is
little chance TO take 1t by surprise, it can be
captured only by well-planned and long
continued pursuit on the swiftest horse.
The ostrich Inns two curious habits in run
ming 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
person at great. distance long before
he can be seen. The other curious habit is
that of running in a circle. Usually ave or
ak ostriches are found in company. When
discovered, part of the hunters, mounted on
feet horses win pursue the birds, while the
other hunters win gaiop away at right angles
to the course the ostriches have taken.
When these hunters think they have gone
far enough to cross the paths 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 os-
triches, they at once start in pursuit with
fresh horses, ard sometimes they overtake
one or two of the birds, but often one or two
of the fleet horses fall completely tired out
with SO sharp achase.

Soldiers Charging.


It has Just been stated, on the authority
Of a London paper, says the Globe, that the
old custom of cheering at the time of charg-
ing with the bayonet is ordered to DO re-
introduced into the British army. There
can be little doubt that such an order, if it
las been given, viii be hailed with very
great satisfaction. 1t is only few years
not certainly above ffteen-since this prac-
tice, which had existed, probably from
time immemorial in our army was formally
abolished and officers Of no very long stand
ing can well remember the reluctance Of
the rank and file TO abandon, and how long
after the order was given II was still often
impossible, when the word given TO charge
to prevent the wel-known Shout from rising
TO the soldiers lips. In Che mind of many a
veteran the mere action Of advancing at the
double was insoparably connected with that
Of shouting the sort of ipdescribable war cry
which was known by the name of cheering,
and mechanical impulse, that had become
deeply ingnincd in bis nature made it i'm
possible for a time that no should obey the
order TO charge without indnlging in the
luxury that used to accompany it. Those
who imagined that tho importance of such
luxury is insignificant commit very great
mistake. It has played more curious and in
faential part in history than any one would
at first sight suppose. Readers Of the Gaulish
campaigns of Julius Caesar know that at
very critical moment the legions were dis
connected and almost thrown into an utter
panic by the, piercing and unaccustomed
yells of the Belgian hordes advancing to the
attack and this although the Roman soldiers
themselves were perfectly accustomed to
shout ON the charge. The very same COM
mander who had then no striking an ex-
ample Of the effect Of the practice witnessed
another and still more remarkable instance
ct the battle of Pharsalia. 1t is well known
that at the battle Pompey ordered his sol
diers To stand still and receive in silence the
attack Of Caesars lcgions His idea was that
the waste Of breath involved in the sharp
run and the loud shout might simply be
economised and reserved for solid muscu-
lar action. But the event bolicd his theory.
and it was always said that Cesar attributed
the speedy defeat OF bis adversary to the
mistake he made in depriving his soldiers Of
this accustomed moral incentive.

II Is strange that Of MI The stars we see,
Venus is the only one which resembles
the Garth in size. All the others are either
very much smaller or very much larger.
Most OF them in fact all the stars properly
SO called -nre great globes of fire like our
sun, and are thousands Of times larger than
the globe that we live on. A few others are
like Venus and the earth in not being true
stars, but bodies travelling round the sun and
owing all their light to him. But it so hap
pens that not even one Of these is nearly of
the same size as the earth they are all
either very much larger or very much
smaller Venus il the only sister world the
earth has among all the orbs which travel
round the sun. There may be others in the
far of depths of space, travelling around one
or other of those suns which we call stars, /"
but Il SO, we can never know that such sister
worlds exist, FOR no telescope could ever be
made which would show them to us.
In the first part OF this article have given
IN account Of the various change of appear
ance presented by the beautiful star which
sometimes shines Us Hesperus, the star Of
evening, and sometimes as Lncifer, the
morning star. Let US now consider That this
star really il, so far, at least, as we can learn
by using telescopes and other instruments.
Venus has. in the first place. been mens-
ured, and we find that she is a globe nearly
as large as the earth. Like the earth, she
travels round and round the sun continually,
but not in the same time as the earth. The
earth goes round the sun once in twelve
months while Venus goes around once in
about seven and ashalf months; SO chat her
year, the time in which the seasons sun
through their changes, is four and a-half
seasons less than ours. If Venus has four
seasons like ours spring, summer, autumn,
aud winter each of these seasons lasts
eight weeks. Venus, also, like our EARTH
turns on her axis, and so has night and day
