TAME OS'TIsICfaES.

OF these huge birds in their domestic
state the author of "The Great Thirst
Land" says: These strange birds generally
stalked at the head of the procession of
domestic animals and appeared to be on
most excellent terms with all of them.
Occasionally one would deviate to the
right or left of the track to peck a mouth
full of grass, but as soon as the droyer
would leave the road and shout at it, it
would Immediately fall into its proper
place and march forward with the utmost
demure gravity, as if to be guilty of an
infringement of rules was the last thing it
would think Of. Ostriches always have an
intensely stupid look, but they are not
nearly such fools as the uninitiated would
take them for; and although the most
timid creatures on the earth when in a
state of nature, in captivity or when do
mesticated, they are bold and dangerous,
more especially the males.
| Horse or rider indiscriminately they will
attack, walking up to the object of their
Indignation with quiet, measured strides,
never evincing for n moment the slightest
evidence of hostility-in fact, looking such
fools that no one would imagine them
capable of inimical ideas-when, with a
quick movement, done with great strength
and velocity, they raise their foot and
strike forward, the edges of the toes be.
ing so sharp that they will cut your clothes
the whole length of the stroke. AS they
are too valuable to be knocked on the
head perhaps you turn to run from them,
but their speed is such that an attempt
| thus to elude them is useless. The only
plan then to be pursued is to throw your.
self down and lie still on your face Oh
back. They cannot kick you ill these
positions, but they will jump on you and
trample all over you. While this operation
is going on you may satisfy your self-es
teem by bestowing upon them few
reminders that two can play the same
game.

of boots and shoes. Dress goods of wool
en-, silk and cotton and gentlemen's un-
derclothing have been found to contain
arsenic in dangerous quantities. Pro-
fessor Nichols, of Massachusetts,, reports
finding eight grains of arsenic to the
square foot in lady's dress. In Troy,
New York, recently, child was killed
by the poison sucked from veil placed
over its face to keep off the flies Enough
proof has been collected to show indis-
putably that there is death in the dye
tub, and that the gaudy butterfly of
fashion, who flashes in rainbow colors
along the public streets walks really in
the shadow of a great danger.
Summing up the perils of food and
clothing that beset the human family
from the moment the race of lifeis COM
menced, it is wonder that any man out
lives his grandmother, or even should
have any use for mother-in-law. Mod
ern science demonstrates the fal,acy of
gray hairs and brings to shame the
mulish obstinacy of old age. Three
score years and ten should blush to faunt
itself in the face of the professors and
philosophers of the present era.

THE use of compressed nir for barome-
trio purposes is not, as supposed by some,
recently discovered principle, but new
and innious applications of the same have
been devised. Years ago, an English in
ventor proposed to produce an invariable
amount of compression of gas for this pur-
pose by means of an invariable weight
compressing, in vacuum, miniature gas
reservoir carefully made air-tight by gild-
lug; the pressure of the air and that of the
column of liquid would then vary inversely,
and, by employing water or oil in the tube,
the same amount of variation in the height
of the column might be obtained by such
contrivance in tube of forty-two inches
long, similarly as is obtained with water
barometer having tube of thirty four feet
in length. The same inventor also pro-
posed the employment of bulb with q
very minute aperture at the top of the
.~rometer tube, by which to permit the
necessary access of air to the top of the
column of liquid-the alleged advantage of
this contrivance being the prevention of
constant and but momentary variations in
the height of the column of liquid,
owing to the passage of momentary as
cending gusts which would otherwise
cause such constant and deranging oscilla-
tions.

how MARRIAGES ARE All.
RANGED IN RUSSIA.

Russian marriages are generally arran ged
through priests. A we'll bred bridegroom
must present a gift to a monastery and an
other to his parish church; the bride,
through her friends, is expected to clothe
some statue of virgin with a gown Of
| silver brocade, enriched with more or less
jewels, according to the piety of The donor;
and in some parts of Southern Russia she
adds gift of two white doves to the
| pope, which looks like relic Of the
worship of Venus. The consent of parents
36 in the case of men, 25 in the case of
women, but young people are at liberty
to appeal to the civil authorities if consent
be arbitrarily withheld. In this event
parents are called up to show reason for
their refusal. The reason must not he
mercenary, unless one of the young people
be heir to landed estate; then the ques-
ton is referred to the marshal of the no.
bility in the district, whose decisions are
StA'SA upo'A SA PSAiShSy ob"h NPo~
fixed principles. These appeals are rare,
because the Russians are marrying peo-
pie, and dispose of their children early.
In the middle and lower classes men marry
at 20, when not drafted by the conscrip-
ton. In the higher aristocracy young
man goes the ''grand tour" before settling
down, but he is often betrothed, before
starting, to young lady not yet out of
the school-room. There is no country that
has SO few old maids as Russia When a
girl has reached the age of 25 without find
ing a mate, she generally sets out on what
she calls pilgrimage, if poor-on a round
of travels if rich, and in either case she
turns up some years later as widow.
Widows are plentiful as old spinsters are
scarce, and widows whose husbands were
never seen are more numerous than the
rest. Etiquette forbids any allusion to
ladys dead husband in her presence, and
this is sometimes convenient When a
couple are engaged a betrothal feast is held,
and the bride elect has lock of her hair
cut off in the presence of witnesses ami
given to the Bridegroom, who in return
presents silver ring set with a turquoise.
an almond cake and gift of bread and
salt. From this moment the two nre
plighted nor can the relatives break the
match except with the consent of the par
ties themselves, which is signified by
return of the ring and lock of hair. So
much importance is attached to the ring
that among poor people who cannot afford
silver and turquoise, tin and bit of blue
stone are substituted. These betrothal
rings are kept as heirlooms, but must not
be made to serve twice--a sou cannot give
his bride the ring which his mother
received for instance, though why this
should he SO is a mystery which the clergy,
who sell the ring could best explain. On
the wedding day the bride comes to church
dressed in white; but it is only among the
highest classes that the bridal costumes is
entirely white and that wreath of orange
flower blossoms is worn. Pal Mall Co.

SOME interesting experiments showing
The maximum point of strength in metals,
and the cause Of deterioration, are noticed
in an English journal. In these expert
ments, one ton of Eslington hot-blast iron
was operated on, and the proportions of
llux and coke at each remelting were ac-
curately measured SO as to be alike in
each, the iron was run into bars one inch
square, and the trials were made ON lengths
of about four feet, supported at each end,
and the weight applied in the centre gradu-
ally, until the lar broke-one bar being re-
served at each trial. and the rest of the
ron was remelted. This succession of
remeltings and trials was repeated seven
teen times, the result showing that cast
iron increased in strength up to the twelfth
melting, rapidly deteriorating thereafter
The commencing breaking weight was 4O3
pounds, and this went on increasing until,
at the twelfth melting, it was 725; at the
thirteenth, 671 at the fifteenth, 391; at
the sixteenth, 1868; and, at the seventeenth
melting, the bar broke with $50 pounds.
After the fourteenth melting, the mole
