There is no reasoning with such people

Gov Butler is no more thought of in the

and so may any other man, even the Zulu

Goldfish Balls or Death.

There was n singular case up for trial
in the Justices court the other day al

by the Justice was whether a restaurant

judge of the law and justice decided
yes. The case was as follows@ The pro

young man. and regular boarder. who
had seated himself for grub. The
bOarder was calmly and peacefully stow
ing away the victuals, but didn't take in
any of the Goldfish balls.
The restaurant-keeper approached
him, and said in a commanding tone OF
voice: "You eat them Goldfish balls"
Il don't like Goldfish balls, y replied the
boarder.
''You eat them Goldfish balls, 1 tell

Pauper Labor in England

There is no more wretchedly rcmu
ncrated employment in the Kingdom
than nail making, or one that, IN con
sequence of the starvation prices paid, is
more frequently interrupted by strikes.
1t spares nobody; mites of children out
of school hours can, in their small way,
assist, and the poverty of their parents
makes them glad to avail themselves of
even their puny help; delicate girls,
mothers who are nursing their babies,
aged women, bent and feeble, and who
all their lives have been, in a manner of
speaking, chained to the forge drudgery
in the midst of smut and smoke, still go

Teach Your Bows.

Teach them that true lady may be
found in a calico as frequently as in
velvet.
Teach them that a common school
education, with common sense, is better
than college education without IT.
Teach them that one good, honest
trade well mastered is worth a dozen
beggarly professions"
Teach them to respect their elders
and themselves.
Teach them that, as they expect to
be men some day, they cannot too soon
learn to protect the weak ones.
Teach them by your own example
that smoking in moderation, though
the least of vices to which men are
heirs, is disgusting to others and hurt
full to themselves.
Teach themselves that to wear patch
ed clothes is no disgrace, but to wear a
black eye is.
Teach them that by indulging their
depraved appetites in the worst forms
of dissipation, they are not fitting them
selves to become the husbands of pure
girls.

An Egyptian Ostrich Farm.

In view of the fact that an attempt is
now being made to establish an ostrich
farm on an extensive scale in California,
and of the peculiar adaptabilIty of the
climate and sandy soil of the Gulf coast
to the rearing of the birds, the descrip-
ton given by party of tourists of a
farm of the kind near Cairo will prove
interesting. This Egyptian farm con-
tains several acres of land, surrounded by
high mud walls, and is situated on the
border of the desert. The land is not
naturally incapable of cultivation, but is
rendered so because of the loose, pebbly
sand that is essential to the well-being OF
the ostrich. There were on the farm 100
birds of over @ years growth, of which
fifteen were female and twelve male
adults-that is, they were more than three
years old, at which time they commence
to lay. Twelve of the fifteen female
adults We're laying at the time of the

An Odd Fight.

A traveller in South Africa witnessed
a singular combat. He was musing,
with his eyes on the ground, when he
noticed a caterpillar crawling rapidly
along. Pursuing him was host of small
ants. The ants would catch up with
the caterpillar, and one would mount
his back and bite him. Pausjng, the
caterpillar would turn his head and bite
and kill his tormentor. After slaughter
ing number of his prosecutors, the
caterpillar showed signs of fatigue. The
ants made a combined attack. Betak-
ing himself to stalk of grass, the cat
erpillar climbed up tail first, followed
by the ants. As soon as one approach
ed he seized it in his jaw and threw it
off the stalk. The ants, seeing that the
caterpillar had too strong position for
them to overcome, resorted to strategy.
They began saving through the grass
stalk. In u few minutes the stalk fell,
and hundreds of ants bounced upon the
caterpillar He was Killed at once, and
the victors marched off in triumph, leav-
ing the foes body on the field.

he is relieved by the man who gave the
