DISCUSSING THE OSTRICH.

The Outlook for Ostrich Farming in Anse,.-
ica Not PrOmsisimg.
There is some prospect of ostrich farm
ing developing into quite an Industry in
the Southwest, says the Louisville Post. and
1t will sometime be cold day when the
simpl-minded rustic of that region will
not have ostrich on toast if he wants it,
Ostrich farming, however, will have its
drawbacks. The hen ostrich is not good
layer, as rule, only laying two eggs per
annum: which, being about the size of a
porcelain wash-bowl, makes her SO proud
that she takes the balance of the year for
convalescing.
The ostrich is chiefly valuable for the
plummage which he wears, and which,
when introduced into the world of COM
MERGE. makes the husband almost wish that
he were dead.
Probably the ostrich will not come into
general use as an article food, few people
caring for 1t, as the meat is coarse and the
gizzard full of old hardware and relics of
wrecked trains, and old irons left where
there had been TIRE.
Carving the ostrich is not so difficult as
carving the quail. because the joints are
larger, and one can follow them with lees
trouble. Still, the bird takes up great
deal of room at the table, and The best cir
cles are not using them.
The ostrich does not set; she doesn't
have time. She does not squat down over
something and insist on Matching it out, if
it takes all summer; but she Just lays a
couple of porcelain cuspidores in the hot
sand when she feels like it, and then goes
away to the seaside to quiet her shattered
nerves.

priced that it was invariably sent to the

and pronounced it to be extremely heavy.

If we look back two generations we fine
only three or four buildings devoted te
amusement in New York city, with an aver
age attendance per night that could hardly
have exceeded $4,000 persons. During
the last season in that city some
fifty entertainments have been patronized
by nightly attendance of from 25..
600 to $4,000 people. Throughout
out the United States it is safe to say that
800 amusement attractions are usually pre-
sented to the public every day of the sea-
son, with an average patronage of about
400 persons each. This calculation gives
US an amusement-goingp public of 100000
individuals a day. As the theatrical season
generally covers 300 performances to each
house, the average annual attendance at
the various halls and theaters throughout
the country probably ranges from So
