CKpTunuo OsrnIoHEs.-T The greatest
feat Of an Arab hunter is to capture an os-
tdch. Being very ehy and cautious, and
living on the sandy plains, where there is
little chance to take il by surprise, It can be
captured only by q well-planned and long
continued pursuit on the swiftest horse.
The ostrich has two curious habits in run
ming when alarmed. 1t always starts with
outspread wings against the wind, SO TINT
IL can scent the approach of an enemy. Its
sense Of smell is SO keen that can detect
q person at q great distance long before
he can DO seen. The other curious habit is
that Of running in q circle. Usually five or
sx ostriches are found in company. When
discovered, part Of the hunters, mounted on
feet horses viii pursue the birds, while thu
other hunters will galop away at right angles
to the course the ostriches have taken.
When these hunters think they have gone
frr enough to cross the paths the birds will
be likely to take, they watch upon SOME
rise Of ground for their approach. If tn,
hunters hit the right place and see the %
triches, they at ono start IN pursuit witt
fresh horses, and sometimes they overtak'
one or two of the birds, but often one or tw'
Of tho fleet horses fall completely tired on
with so sharpa chase.

n has iuss been stased, on the authority
Ma London paper. says the Go6s, that the
ID custom of cheering at the time Of oharR-
ing with the bayonet d ordered TO be re-
introduced into the British army. There
can be little doubt that such an order. Il Il
has been given, win be hailed With very
great satisfaction- It is only o few years
not certainly above ifteen-since this prnc-
ice, which had existed, probably from
lime immemoriai in our army, was formally
abolished, and officers of no very long stand
.ng can well remember the reluctance Of
ne rank and file to abandon, and how long
nter the order was given it was still often
impossible, when the word given to charge,
oprevent the well-inown shout from rising
o the soldiers lips. In the mind of many o
Veteran the nero action of advancing at the
iouble WINS insepambly connected with that
If shouting the sort of indescribable war CRY
which was known by the nnme of cheering,
md a mechanical impulse, that had become
ieeply ingrained in his nnturo made it i'm
possible for a time that he should obey the
order to charge without INDUCING In the
luxury lint used to accompany it. Those
who imagined that the importance Of such o
luxury is insignificant commit o very great
mistake. It has Played a moro curious and in
auentinl part in history than any one would
at first sight suppose. Readers Of the Gaulish
campaigns of julius C@sar know that at a
very critical moment the legions were dis
connected and almost thrown into an utter
panic by the piercing and unnccustomed
yeils of the Bslgian hordes advancing to tho
attack, and this although the Roman soldiers
Themselves wero perfectly accustomed to
shout on the charge. The very same COM
mander who had then 30 striking an ex-
ample of the effect of the practice Witnessed
and a still more remarkable instance
at the battle OF Pharsalia. It il weI known
TINT at the battle Pompey ordered his SOL
diers to stand still and receive in silence the
stack of Caesars legions. His idea was that
The waste of breath involved in the sharp
run and the loud shout might simply be
economiscd and reserved for solid muscu-
lar action. But the event belied his theory,
it was always said that Cesar attributed
the speedy defeat of his adversary to tho
mistake he made In depriving his soldiers Of
this accustomed moral incentive.
