ished his supper at a hotel in the western

traveller to light his pipe, and then he
continued: ..-... .s..

this manner. The bodice is often Of the
same material as the panels. but where
this cannot be accomplished. q portion
can be introduced as trimming, such as
revers. plastrons, or peierine and cuffs.
The jacket, different from the skirt, is
another economical style, but this has
been referred to in former articles. Its
latest and most inexpensive form is the
jacket OF bright-colored cashmere, cut
to initiate aJersey, and untrimmed, ex-
cept for small buttons which fasten it
from top to bottom. Young ladies and
misses wear these on the street, while
for afternoon wear at home, their use is
general, and they serve to utilize any
old skirt at small expense. - -
Neatness is, however, the great de-
sideratum to economy in dress. If the
toilet is carefully made, the dress tidy,
well-fitting and neatly put on. and the
color or frill spotless, the effect can
scarcely fail to be attractive. To keep
garments fresh and neat much pain is
necessary. The dress must be brushed.
or at least shaken when taken off, and
be carefully hung up, not tossed down
on chair or in the bed in crumbled
heap. Gloves should be tenderly
smoothed out, frills rolled up and
Strengthened, and ribbons smoothed
over the fingers, tightly rolled up, and
pinned with fine needle; pin is apt
to leave its mark behind it in unsightly
holes. shr
1t is an excellent plan to keep large
box in which all odds and ends of velvet,
ribbons, ETC., are kept. Such an omnium
gatherum will prove mine from which
bindings, bonnet trimmings and other
minor necessaries may frequently be ex-
tracted at need, and thus save many a

The Ostrich Kick.

When farmer goes into savage
birds camp he takes with him a thorn
pole, with a branch or two of the thorny
bush left on the end. This is called a
tuck" and when the tuck is applied to
the ostrich's neck or head This tender
points, he is almost invariably subdued,
and. after one or two efforts to escape.
bolts furiously off to the other side of the
camp. where he races up and down to
vent his baffied rage. If however, the
bird gets near enough to his opponent to
give the so-called kick, he lifts his bony
leg as high as his body and throws it
forward with demoniac grotesqueness,
and brings it down with terrible force.
His object is to rip the enemy down with
his dangerous claw, but in most cases it
is the fiat bottom of his foot which
strikes. and the kick is dangerous as
much from its sheer power as from its
decorating effects. 1t is movement OF
terrible velocity and power. at all events.
Several instances may be mentioned of
herd-bOys being thus either wounded,
MANNED, or killed outright. One case
occurred near GRAFT Reinet, in which a
horse had his back broken by single
blow. In this case the bird had en-
deayored 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. Insuch a case.
If the pursued were acquainted with
struthious tactics, he would lie down
fiat on the ground, where the bird finds
it impossible to strike him. But even this
is no light matter. for some birds in their
rage at being bafiied of their kick, will
roll over their PROSTATE enemy, below.
ing with fury and trampling upon him
in the most contemptuous fashion. Ons
man who thus attempted the lying down
plan found that every time he attempted
to rise the bird would return and stand
sentry over him, till at last. after creep
ing distance he got out only by swim
ming pond that bounded one side of
the camp.-7he Century.

The Fly InspectOr.

The following is an incident in the
school-life of teacher, as related by
herself. She had charge of school in
a country town early in her career, and
among her scholars was a boy about
fourteen years old, who cared very little
about study and showed no interest APP
parently in anything connected with the
school. Day after day he failed in his
lessons, and detentions after school hours
and notes to his widowed mother had no
effect. One day the teacher had sent
him to his seat. after vain effort to get
from him correct answer to questions
in grammar, and, feeling somewhat
nettled. she watched his conduct. Hav,
ing taken his seat he pushed the book
impatiently aside. and espying a fly,
caught it with a deXtrous sweep of the
hand and then betook himself to close
inspection of the insect. For fifteen
minutes or more the boy was thus occu-
pied, needless of surroundings, and the
expression of his face told the teacher
that it was more than idle curiosity that
possessed his mind. A thought struck
her. which she put into practice at the
first opportunity that day. ''Boys." said
she, sswhat can you tell me about flies?''
and calling several of the brightest bv
name, she asked them if they could tell
her something of fiy's constitution and
habits. They had very little to say about
the insect. They often caught one. but
only for sport. and did not think it worth
while to study so common an insect.
Finally she asked the Ounce. who had
silently. but with kindling eyes, listened
to what his schoolmates hesitatingly said.
He burst out with description of the
head, eyes,. wings and feet of the little
creature. so full and enthusiastic that the
teacher was astonished and the whole
school struck with wonder. He told how
it walked and how it ate, and many things
which were entirely new to his teacher.
So that when he had finished she said:
Thank you! You have given us real
lecture in natural history, and you have
learned it all yourself"
After the school closed that afternoon
she had a long talk with the boy and
found that he was fond of going into the
woods and meadows and collecting in
sects and watching birds, but that his
mother thought he was wasting his time.
Ut lSdCHCI hOnSNCI Wisely CuSoukdSCu
him in this pursuit, and asked him to
bring beetles and butterflies and cater
pillars to school, and tell what he knew
about them. The boy was delighted by
this unexpected turn of affairs; in few
DAYS the listless Ounce was the marked
boy of that school. Books on natural
history were procured for him, and
world of wonders opened to his appre-
ciatire eyes. He read and studied and
examined; he soon understood the ne
cessity of knowing something of mathe-
mates, geography and grammar for the
successful carrying out of his favorite
study, and he made rapid progress in his
classes. In short, twenty years later he
was eminent as a naturalist, and owed
his success, as he never hesitatedto ac-
knowledge. to that discerning teacher
