The Cholera.
The German halfway Accident.
. the Java Horror.

New YoRK, September "a cable
special to the San from London says:
The Government at the Hague have re-
ceived accounts from Java which show
that the disaster at Ischia was trivial
compared to that which like causes pro
duced in Northern Bantam last Sunday.
Without any warning there was a tre-
mendous outbrust of subterranean thun-
der, and the volcano Of Krakatoa vom-
tied forth an ink black cloud which
spread over the clear tropical sky with
inconceivable quickness, involving the
land in complete darkness. Then it be-
gan to rain scoarie and dust, and in
very few minutes the greater part OF
Northern Bantam, very fertile and
very popnlous country, was completely
destroyed. A tremendous explosion
followed and stones and volcanic mat
ter were hurled 10 Distance Of from
200 to 300 miles. The sides OF the
sea, its structure collapsed and the en-
tire island Of Krakatoa subsidized into the
wnter and disappeared On Monday
morning there was not a vestige of it
to be seen, the ocean having taken its
place.
The volcanic action Of the region was
intense. but it was thought the worst
was over, when about noon the inhabit-
ants of the Merak coast and the prosper
Gus settlement between Merak and
Tjeringen were alarmed by the sudden
receding of the ocean from the shore,
and on looking out to sea they beheld
great wall Of water, varying in height
from thirty to ninety feet, approaching
the land. 1t destroyed everything in its
path, overwhelming the entire coast,
sweeping away all the dwellings, the
Lighthouse and the government build
ings within reach and retired, charged
with vast freight Of death and ruin.
There is no estimate furnished in the
fragInentary and panic-stricken dis
patches Of the loss OF life, but according
to the best Information it must be some
thing appalling. The next day sixteen
active volcanoes rose out Of the sea be-
tween the side Of Krakatoa and Sibisie
islands, and on Thursday the great vol
cano of Soragapano burst forth, col
lapsed and resolved itself into five dis
tinct volcanoes. New charts will have
to be prepared of the entire coast as its
marine topography has been completely
changed. Deep channels have become
dry land and towering volcanoes stand
where had been the open sea.

The Disessien ot an ostrieh.
E. B. Biggar, Ceniury Magazine


 It has commonly been made to appear that ostriches are so stupid or so greedy as to be totally iadiscnminate in the mat ter of food but this is a mistake. When two kinds of food are placed before them they will prefer the one, and are notably fond of certain kinds such as mealies and prickly pears Many of them even show delicate choice. But hungry bird will eat almos, anything. His system re- quires food in large quantity. but he al- ways prefers the suitable kinds. IL IS a fact, however, that the ostrich often dies of over-indulgenee. On the farms birds also die by the score from apoplexy, brought on by their keepers stuffing them constantly with all they can eat. An in- credible number of pebbles are some times found in an ostrich's stomach, where they serve the same purpose, in trituras- ing the food, as sand in a pigeons giz- xzrd Mr. TIllbrook, a farmer of the Csaaf R9nes district, once found . car cass, the gixzard of which contained some nine hundred and thiry stones of sises varying 6Um that of pea to that of a walnut Moa of them were bright and hard, snd au mcee og Iess rouoded by constant rubbing. We msy see tAe rea- son of that instinct which prompes an os- trich to stretch his neck over the fence and pick o6 gold stud or . diAmond pin from the breast of the unsuspecsing visitor, or in default of level so attract i've, to attempt to pull a button of his coat

HIS PA GOES SKATING.
peckESun.'


 What is that on your shirt bosom, that looks like soap grease, said the grocery man to the bad boy, as he came into the grocery the morning after Christ mas.
 The boy looked at his shirt front, put his fingers oc the stnf and smeiled of his fingers, and then said, 70, that is mo- thing but little of the turkey dressing and gravy. You see after pa and l got back from the roller skating rink yester- day, pa vas all brukeup and he couldn't | carve the turkey, and had to do it. and pa had to set in stuffed chair with his head tied up, and a pillow amongst his legs, and he kept complaining that l didn't do 1t night Col darn a turkey any way. should think they would make turkey flat on the back, 90 he would lay on a greasy platter without skating all around the table. It looks easy to see pa carve turkey, but when l speared into the bosom of that turkey, and began to saw on it, the turkey rolled around as though it was on castors, and it was all could do to keep 1t out of ma's lap. But rzsseled with ii till got of enough white meat for pa and ma and dark meat enough for me, and l dug out the dressing, but most of 1t flew into my shirt bosom, cause the string that tied up the place where the dressing was concealed about the person of the turkey, broke premAturely, and one oyster hit pa in the eye, and he said l was as awk- ward as cross-eyed girl trying to kiss a man with hair lip. If ever get to be the head of family I shall carve turkeys with corn sheller.
 But what broke your pa up at the roller skating rink! asked the grocery man.
 70. everything broke him up. He is split up so ma buttons the top of his pants to his collar button, like a bicycle rider. Well, he had no business to have told me and my chum that he used to be the best skater in North America, when he was boy. He said he once slated from Albany to New York in an hour and eighty minuses. Me and ny chum thought if pa vas such . terror on skates xe would ges him to pat oa . pair of roller skates and enter him as the "great snknowu," and dean out the whole gang. We told pa that he must remenber that roller slEana were different from ice skates, and that maybe he coeldn't sir1fe ou them, but he said 1t didat make any difference what they were as long as they were skaies, and he would Jass para bze the whole crowd So ve got pair of big roller skates Sor him, and while ve were strspping them on, pa he looked at the skzfe1s glide around on the smooth waxed door juss as though they were sreased. Pa looked at the skates on his feet, aftez they were fastened, sort of for lorn like, the way a hone thief does when they put sharkles on his legs, and I told him if he was afraid he couldn't skate with them we would take then o6 but he said he would beat anybody shere was there, or bus saspsnder Then
