n writer from New York says boj-s are

from paper, scarce eeems logical. Never
thciess, you know what ! mcan-that suf-
ticcs. do not luean, however, that boys
arc the only fashion, but one of the fash
ions; for IN the fail cpl icmic Of weddings
peculiar to 1882 no fact shows forth more
plainly that there aro many facts, all
equally true. II is curious to read in tho
differ mt fashion magazines the directions
as TO outfits, whether of the young lady,
who, according to Bcccher. Is about TO
"marry divinity and sadly thereafter
consent to live with a man." or OF her
equally poetic bridesmaids, whether girls
or boys. One says dresses are made sim-
ply and Of one or two materials; another
rays they are rich aud varied and display
imbiaatons Of three or four fabrics, etc.
Which is right? All, | answer; and
great, therefore, is your liberty Of con.
science.
Bat boys should be fnnclfuily dressed
as pages, copied after old p:c,arcs, and
unq nqlcstlonably It's the revival of by gone
ldc's that bring up really pretty

The Ostrich KICK.

When farmer goes into savage bird 8
camp he takes with HIM thorn pole;wlth
branch or two Of the thorny bush left ON
the end. This IS called a stuck, !" and
when the tuck is applied to the ostrich's
neck or head (his teader points, he is al
most invariably subdued, and, after one or
two efforts to escape, bolts furiously off to
the other side o! the cemp, where he races
up and down lo vent his bnffied rage. If,
however, the bird gets near enough to his
opponent to give the 60 called kick, he
lifts his bony leg as high as his body and
throws 1t forward with dcmoniac g1o,cs.
qucnoss, and brings it down with terrible
force. Ills object IL to ZIP the enemy down
with his dangerous claw, but IN most cases
1t is the flat bottom of his foot which
strikes, and the kick Is dangerous as much
from its sheer power as from its iaccrating
effects. 1t Is a movement OF terrible vo-
loclty and power, at all events. Several
instances may be mhntioned Of herd-bOys
being thus either wounded, manned, or
killed outright. Ono case occurred near
G-aaH Rcinet, in which horse had his
back broken by single blow. In this
case The bird had cndeavored to kill the
rider. but missed him and struck the
horse
Many persons have been set upon by
birds, when there was no shelter, not even
tree TO run to. In such case, If the
pursued were acquainted with struthlous
tactics, he would lie down fiat on the
ground, where the bird finds it Impossible
10 strike hlm. But even this is no light
matt or, for some birds in their rage at be-
ing batlled of their kick, will roll over
their PROSTATE enemy. believing with fury
and trampmg upon HIM in tho most oon-
ttmpteous fashion, One man who thus
attempted the lying g-down plan found that
every time he attempted to rise the bird
would return and stand sentry over him,
I'LL at last, alter creeping a distance he
got out only by swimming pond that
bounded one side OF the camp.
