AS we progress in age or knowledge our
tastes change as well, even in the matter
of friendship. There are men and
women in public life whose pathway is
marked by the remains" of whilom
friends whom they have squeezed dry and
dropped, like so many sucked oranges.
In politics it is said Of such man that
he is kicked down the ladder by which
he climbed. In literary or other walks
the human sponge often swells up with
the thought that he has "outgrown"
his humble friends Of other days. In
private life the self-conscious soul con-
tents itself with becoming more and
more the center of it's little circumfer-
ence, taking none within its orbit who
will not consent to revolve around it and
emit light and warmth for its enjoyment.
It is too absolutely selfish to bestow OF
receive real, lasting friendship.
WHEAT and pork may be good for
"side speculations," as Sellers says,
but if man wants money by the ton he
should 60 into ostriches. Here are the
figures An ostrich hen will lay eighty
eggs per annum. from which can be
Matched eighty young ostriches. OF
these fully seventy will be hens, and
each one Of them Will in turn produce
eighty ostrich chickens annually. In
two years the ostrich breeder will have
6,312 ostriches-or, say, $500, for per-
haps the cat viii succeed in killing q
dozen. These birds will be worth
$1,575, 900. To this must be added the
value Of years crop Of feathers, which,
according to the Californian, will amount
to $3.50, 900 more. At the end of two
years the ostrich farmer will thus be
worth $4,000 after deducting, as has
been already said, twelve birds as pos
sible result of cat depredations.
AN aerolite fell on Bidwell's farm in
California, and was sent to the State
Geological Society. Bidwell sued the
society for remuneration, and the terres-
trial chunk was seized by the Sheriff.
In the Sheriff's Office q difficulty arose
in entering the seizure. "Shtick it
down as piece av iron, !" said Mr.. Ring
rose. Mr. Walsh objected to MIR. Ring
roses coarse generalization. "There's
as much shtone in it as ron," said he.
"Call it an oxidized mass" said Mr..
Cummings. Sheriff Murphy strenuous
ly objected to this, however. He was
satisfied to let the word "oxidized" go
on the books, for no one would know
what it meant. "But," said he, firmly,
"every omadhoon knows what mass
names, and, be hevins, we can't touch
religion
He attended meeting where an at
tempt was being made to lift the debt Of
the church. After great deal Of ear
nest exhortation to give he began to get
mildly excited over the matter, and when
the minister declared that every one who
gave would find that the Lord would pay
him back hundred fold he concluded
to close with the bargain, and at once
subscribed handsome sum. "And,"
said he, some weeks afterward, "the
scripture promise is financially good
one, for since I gave that money to the
church o man came into my Office and
paid large debt which I had long since
given up as lost. Yes, the promise is a
good one, but" and here he hesitated
for few moments but tell you what
it is, I don't think I dare trust it
second time"
LARGE beds of nitrate similar to the
famous ores at Chill, and from which
that country las derived large revenues,
have been discovered In Nevada. If the
extent of the deposits be not overes-
timated, theimportance of the discovery
can hardly be overestimated.
