About the Ostrich.

There is some prospect of ostrich
farm ng developing into quite an in
dustry in the Southwest, and it will
some time be cod day when the sim
ple-minded rustic of that region will not
have ostrich on toast if he wants it.
Ostrich farming, however, will always
have its drawbacks. The hen ostrich
is not good layer as a rule, only Law
ing two eggs per annum, which, being
about thesize of porcelain wash bowl,
make her so proud that she takes the
balance OF the year for the purpose of
convalescing.
The ostrich is chiefly valuable for the
plumage which he wears. and which,
when introduced into the world OF COM
merce, makes the husband almost wish
that he were dead.
Probably the ostrich will not come
into general use as an article of food,
lew people caring for it, as the meat
is coarse and the gizzard full of old
hardware and relics of wrecked trains
and old irons left where there has been
a fire.
Carving the ostrich is not so difficult
as carving the quail. because the Joints
are larger and one can find them with
less trouble. Still, the bird takes UP
great deal of room at the table. and the
best circles are not using them. ~ "a
The ostrich does not set. She don't
have time, She does not squat down
over something and insist on hatch ny it
out if it takes all summer, but she Just
lays couple OF porcelain cuspidores in
the hot sand when she feels like IL, and
then goes away to Che seaside to quiet
her shattered nerves. Laramie Boom

But what was that that struck his
fingers? He looked up.
Overhead hung bundle of some sort.
He gave a shout. Every one rushed to
the spot
There upon the branches hung the
big plaid shawl, full of something solid
and warm. Horritied, the father peeped
into the bundle. A little rosy face lay
there, and little voice piped out:
''Baby Belle wants to get down.
And down she came into fond, tender
arms, that held her close while tears fell
over her. But the first flush of Joy
being over, curiosity was aroused.
"Who hung you there, Baby BELIEF"
they asked her.
Il hunged up myself" answered the

THE QUEEN S GIFT.


Where English daisies blossom,
And English robins sing,
When all the land was fragrant
Beneath the feet of Spring,
Two little sisters wandered,
Together, hand i'm hand,
Along the dusty highway.
Their bare feet sOiled aud tanned
Twas not a childish sorrow
That filled their eyes with tears;
Thor little hearts were burdened
Win grief beyond their years.
The bright-eyed daisies blossomed
In valley and In glen,
The robins sang their sweetest.
Spring smiled-but not for them.
Beneath the trees Of whitehall,
within their sha1owv brown,
From out the royal palace
The Queen came walking down.
She saw the children standing,
Together, side by side,
And, gazng down with pity,
She asked them why they cried.
"Dear lady, said the eldest,
MY little sister Bess
And have come together
A hundred miles, guess.
"Sometimes the roads were dusty,
And sometimes they were green;
were very tired and hungry
We want to see the Queen.
For Mothers sick. dear Lady.
she cries most all the day;
We hear her telling Jesus,
When she thinks were at play.
" She tells Him all about Ii,
In trf Kf..sr To- fVarr
We were go rich and happy
And had most everything.
ave had our own dear father,
At home beside the Thames,
But Father went to battle
Because he loved King James.
"And then things were so different
| cannot tell you how.
We haven't any father,
Nor any nice things now.
Last night, our mother told us
They take our home away,
And leave Va without any,
Because she couldn't pay.
So then, we came together,
Right through the m eadow green,
And prayed tor God to help us,
And take us to the Queen;
Because Mamma once told us
That, many years ago,
The Queen was James little girl
And, Lady, if twas so,
AZ know she'll let us keep it
Our home beside the Thames
For we have come to ask her,
And Father loved King James.
"And II we had to leave it,
I'm sure Mamma would die,
pfa'l NJ r,ln fg. to
No place but in the sky"
Her simple story finished,
She gaZed up in surprise,
To see the lovely lady
With tear-drops in her eyes.
And when the English robins
Had sought each downy nest,
And when the bright-eyed daisies,
Dew-damp, had gone to rest,
A carriage, such ms never
Had passed that way before,
Set down two little children
Beside the widows door.
They brought the weeping mother
A package from the Queen.
Her royal seal was on IL,
And, folded in between,
slip of paper, saying:
The daughter OF King James
Gives to these little children
Their home beside the Thames"

An Honest Democrat.

There was one whOlesOuled honest
man above other Democrats in the Can
yassine Board who refused from hrst 10
last TO be bulldo2ed and forced to do
what he knew to be wrong by parcel
of Democratic political gamblers who
demanded that Purnal j. Lynch should
receive the certificate of election for
Sheriff instead of James Martin, and
that man was William H. Smith in
spector of West St. Georges Hundred.
Mr., Smith has always Geen a Democrat,
is one still, and for ought we know
always will be one, but he is one who
belieyes that majorities should be cal
led majorities and that man who
received but nine votes of a majority
was as much entitled to the benefits
that majority as if it had been ont
hundred or one thousand.
From the first to the last he opposed
the revolutionary schemes of his Dem
ocratic colleagues of whom he was nc
doubt heartily ashamed, was prompt
in siRning Mr.. Martins certificate and
like a good Democrat could rot be in
duced to change his mind and sign ont
also for Mr. Lynch. Such Demoora
a. Mr.. Smith is entitled to the respec
of ali honorable men, and such maj
can al ways be depended upon to do hi
whole duty honestly and fairly wheth
er such duty performed will favor
Republican or a Democrat.
