Why Ostriclles Eat Stones.

An ostrich's digestion is aided BY
stones or pebbles, which the bird puts
into its stomach to grind the food it has
eaten. This habit is brought out by the
following narrative told in Forest and
Stream. of visitor sexperience, while
at an ostrich farm in South Africa:
The first familiarity one OF them ven
lures to take is to make snap at our
neck. We give him slap and stand
back.
g 0! he's only after your breast-pin,' =
says the farmer; 81 forgot to tell you
to keep your jewelry out of sight,
This is easily removed, but the in
quisitive bird makes a peck at the top
button of my coat, and when / find at
last that he does not seem to be very
strong in the beak, and that this is not
his weapon of offense, let him continue
the operations.
1t we ask why these birds have a
passion for buttons and studs, and bright
things generally, including jack knives,
the farmer replies that they are in the
habit of eating pebbles and stones to
help digestion by the trituration of their
food. The harder the stone the better,
and it is probable they associate bright
ness with hardness.

Tremor OF Great Orators,

1t is curious fact that great orators
seldom fail to be nervous with appre-
hension when about to make an i'm.
portant speech. Luther, to his last
years, trembled, when he entered the
pulpit. The same is true of Robert
Hall. Mr.. Cough confesses that he is
always in a tremor in coming before an
audience. Many of the leaders of the
House Of Commons in England have
given similar testimony. Canning said
he could always tellin advance when he
was about to make one of the best
speeches by chill running through
him, caused by a fear of failure. Lord
Derby, the father of the present Earl,
when a young man, was one of the
most impressive speakers in Parlia.
ment. He was known as the g Prince
Rupert of debate," and seemed SO self
possessed as to be incapable of embar-
rassment. But he said: {. When am
going to speak my throat and lips are
as dry as those of man who is going
to be hanged" Tiernev, whom Lord
Macauley calls one of the most fluent
debaters ever known, said he never rose
in Parliament without feeling his knees
knock together. 1t is one of the COM
pensations of nature, that the nervous
temperament which occasions the trem-
bling is also one of the causes of crater
ical success

Bishop D0ane as Freight.

Burlington, in his Diocese, he had occa-
sion at one time to visit, during the lat
ter part of week, the city Of New
York, in order to secure pecuniary aid.
he was detained there until the close OF
Saturday.
He had made no provision for the
supply of his church at Burlington for
The approaching Sunday. He there
fore FASTENED to set off for home by the
evening train of cars. On the way to
the station he met with a friend whom
he found warmly disposed to listen to
statements respecting the great impor-
tance of the proposed enterprise, and
ton upon the subject. The time was
consequently allowed to pass when the
evening train was to leave; but the
Bishop knew that freight train was to
pass through Burlington from New
York at late hour that night. to which
he supposed there would be passenger
car attached.
When the Bishop parted with his
friend he hurried to the railroad sta
tlon. He was there informed that the
train would go Immediately, but that no
passenger car would accompany it. The
Bishop at once proposed to ride on the
engine, OR even to sit or stand on the
platform, but the conductor informed
him that it was against the rules of the
company to permit passengers on the
freight train.
Very WELL" said the Bishop, s.Obey
your orders. I never can encourage
anything like disobedience. Yet YOU
say that this is a freight train. Are all
your cars fullp Do you forward freight
by weight? A la
The agent replied: .'We have room
for more than we have on board. We
weigh whatever is to be forwarded, and
charge by the pound"
The Bishop went to the scales and
asked to be weighed, and then to be
put in a car as freight. The agent did
not know Mr.. Doane, but looked upon
the proceeding as a good joke. Alter
having put in this extraordinary freight
and secured the door, which he was re-
CURED to do, he remarked to his associ-
ates: ''This is the greatest instance of

When the train arrived at Burlington
early in the following morning. the man
VINO had charge of it told the agent in
that city that there was some freight in
one of the ears, the like of which he had
never heard of having been carried over
any road in train before. The car
door was opened and the Bishop of New
Jersey stepped out. He was well known
to everybody at that station. The
charges had been paid before leaving
New York. A portion of the freight
over the Camden & Amboy Railroad
on that memorable night then walked
to the Episcopal residence at Burling-
ton to prepare for the services of the
day, as Rector OF st. Mary's Church.

Interesting Discoveries in Yucatan.

In Yucatan some discoveries have
been made, of very interesting char
acter, mainly by DR.. LIE Plongeon, the
agent of the American Archaeological
Institute, who has excavated the ruins
of Mavapan, once the capital of the
Mayas, powerful tribe among the alb
original inhabitants. The later history
of this important town is well known;
for less than century before the ar
rival of the Spanish invaders, the KING
of the tribe had been murdered by his
mobiles, his followers dispersed, and the
royal city destroyed, so that the objects
brought to light by DIR. LIE Plongeon's s
exertions find their place Immediately
as historical documents. Among other
things. portrait sculptures of the unfor-
,tunate King have been discovered,
which are at once recognized as similar
in face and figure to bass-reliefs at
Chichen-Itza, the metropolis of Yucca
tan, where the lords paramount of the
country held their court, and where the
King of the May as is represented as do
ing q sort of a homage to his srlzerain.
Ihls coincidence seems to point to
period of special artistic development
throughout that region, when pictorial
or sculptured representations of the af-
fairs of daily life had become some what
habitual. Further proofs OF enlighten-
ment are found in astronomical instru-
ments, such as stone .diais of accurate
workmanship, which were found still
standing on smooth platform of stone,
covered only with few inches of veee-
table mould. Various observations
were made in regard TO the religious
emblems discovered, but beyond
strong resemblance of some of them to
those Of Eastern Asia, no extraordinary
developments are made. DR.. LIE Plon-
geon' 8 accounts show remarkable and
interesting continuity of language, fam
lily names, and even Of habits. between
the ancient inhabitants of Yucatan and
their modern descendants. 1t has been
well said that all archaeological discov-
cry originates in the endeavor to inves-
tigate traditions, which SURVIVE after
stone and brick have crumbled to dust;
and it is very probable that further ac-
quaintance with the friendly and civil
lied natives may furnish clues to dis
coveries of great Importance. Ameri-

The Bishop of London has, ex-
pressed some misgivings as to the effect
OF the revised New Testament on vouno
clergymen and on other indiscreet and
ignorant persons. The Bishop warns
them that it is not yet permissible to
use or even to criticise the new version.
Not'until the Old Testament has also
been revised will the New Testament
revision be before the Church for con- \
sideration. and not until the whole
work has been approved of bv clergy,
and laity. will it be ripe for authoriza-
ton, and not until the proper authority
has been ascertained-an the Bishon
does not seem to be at all certain about
twill that authorization be given. In
the meantime the Bishop deprecates
any invidious comparisons between the
new and the old versions.

Appalling Odds.

There ale 10000 small boys in Phil.
adelphia and only 1900 policemen.
The 10000 small boys are determined
to celebrate the Fourth of July in ac-
cordance with the traditions which have
been handed down to them by their
fathers and grandfathers. The police,
headed by the Mayor, say they shall
not. The result of the dispute, if such
itmay be called. will be waited with great
interest by non-combatants. The issue
is between the small boy and the king,
and, taking a leaf from past experience,
the odds are in favor of the small boy.
