suance Of this resolution, he reached
Astoria in perfect health and delivered
his dispatches in safety. When Col.
Farnum had sufficiently recuperated to
justify a further effort, he undertook
the overland journey to st. Pete rsburg,
Russia, taking with him doca mcnts for
the Hudson Bay company, He walked
up the Pacific coast to Kamskatka, still
carrying his gun and accompanied by
his dog, and arrived at Behring's strait
in the winter of 18l3-l4and crossed it OH
the ice. Entering Siberia, he proceeded
across the eastern continentto st. Peters.
burg, where, introducing himself
to the American consul
at the Russian court, he was presented
to Emperor Alexander as the bold
American who had travelled by land
across both continents. He was received
with great consideration and kindness
and wa forwarded, without solicitation,
as far as Paris on his homeward journey.
= He was received in st. Louis on
his return with great demonstrations.
In 1880 Col. Farnum married the
second daughter of Charles Bosseren.
She survived him but a few years, leav-
ing an infant son, who lived to the age
of Is and died of pulmonary disease. He
died of cholera in 1882, never having re-
written his journal. His sudden
death leaves only his friends to write of
his adventures from recollection, with.
out the aid of relations or documents of
any kind except the public journals of
that day."

Lending Books.

ITO lend or not to lend" is the first
question which the book-lover has to
PROFOUND to himself, and for which he
seeks vainly an answer. If he does not
lend the book which another needs and
cannot easily get elsewhere he is a dog
in the manger. If he does lend, and
the precious tome never more returns,
why the fool and his book are soon
parted. If he tries to get wisdom by
consulting the records of the past, he
soon gets confusion only. Some great
men and many little men have lent their
books freely and frequently. Most of
the great Neutrality-suspicious. who adore
books as books-have rigidly refused to
part with any of the volumes from their
treasure-houses, guarding them as jeal-
ously as the Turk his harem; some have
even gone to the extreme of letting no
profane eye fall within the
sacred depths of che bookcase.
Carlyle was n of the great
men of our scribbling century, and he
was free with his books. When Dickens
wanted to get up the facts for the Frame
work of ga Tale of Two Cities" he con-
suited Carlyle as to the chief books he
should read to master the feelings and
the sayings and doings Of the period.
While he was expecting an answer, a
cart drove up before his house, full of
books about the French revolution; and
Carlyle had sent 1t.

OSTRICH FARM IN FLORIDA
An Experiment. to BE Made with
Three Pairs OF the Birds.

An Experiment. % BE Made with
Three Pairs of the Birds.
The stock for the first ostrich farm
in the United States was shipped from
this city yesterday. 1t consisted of
three pairs of ~3.year-old ostriches. The
destination of the birds was Sylvan
Lake, Orange county, Fla, the mode of
conveyance the Mallory Line steamer
Western Texas. The birds shipped
weighed from $50 to 200 pounds each,
and stood about seven feet high with
out any stockings. They are natives of
Nubia, in Upper Africa, and were cap.
tured while young by the agents Of
Charles Richie & Brother, OF this city
and Hoboken, who are part projectors
of tie proposed ostrich farm. 1t took
eight months to transport safely the
birds from Nubia to this city. They
reached here on Sept. 2, and for the
past six weeks have been reveling in a
diet of fine quality of hay, and a delic-
ious mash of bran, eats, and cracked
corn, in the wilds of the Reiches'
wild animal farm at Hoboken.
Notwithstanding their cordial re-
they were a discouraged and dis.
heartened set of birds when they set
out on their voyage to the sunny South.
Their plumage was very much rumpled
and broken, and they seemed to pine
for n square meal ofthe sands ofthe de.
desert. The attendants assert that the
plumage was due to the accidents and
incidents Of their long voyage rather
than a yearning for sand as a steady
diet and the exhibition of deplorable
bad taste in the rejection of Hoboken
tomato-cans and broken glassware as a
substitute.
Mr.. Charlton James will be the guard
ian of the flock on their arrival in Flor
ida. He has set apart 100 acres of his
500 acre farm for the purposes of this
experiment in farming. The land forms
q peninsula extending into the lake
which gives the town its name. This has
been inclosed to keep out alligaters and
other enemies of the ostrich
race. A pen has been provided as a
home for the strangers, and they will
be treated to more of the hay and mash
diet until they shall have become we'll
enough acquainted with their new quar-
tiers to be able to shift for themselves.
Their first crop of feathers will be due
next year, after they have moulted their
present wholly uncomfortable coat and
got to work at the feather business in
earnest. A year later, or when 5 years
old, they are expected to be able to
furnish two crops annually and begin
the raising Of families. The result of
this experiment will be watched with
much interest by scientific and business
men, as its success would open up a new
and remunerative field for enterprising
business men.-New York Times.

Chinese Courtesy.

A young mandarin attached to the
Chinese embassy in Paris was one even
ing introduced to a beautiful end ele-
CANT woman. The lady being curious to
know whsti er it was worth any ones
while to attempt little filtration with
this son of the Celestial empire, asked
him among other things, what qualities
bis countrymen valued most in women.
"Her domestic virtues" was the reply.
'"Oh, indeed!" said the lady, in a slight
ly contemptuous tone. "Then they
don't like your ladies to 60 into COM
pany and enjoys little gossip" "No,
madame, a Chinese husband has the
right to get a divorce from his wife if
she is a great talker." The charming
French woman here thought she detect
ed a covert allusion to herself and sar-
castically inquired: ~ suppose that
would have been my fate in Gilman"
The Chinaman was equal to the occa-
sion and at once replied, bowling low:
"You may be sure that from the day of
your arrival in China the law that in
ficts this mode of punishment on the
loquacity of women would be sbol-
ished.

OUR BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.
Fashion Lost Blonde and Brunette
LONELINESS.

In Paris, more than in New York or
a1y other great city, there is decided
fashion in beauty as we'll as in dress,
| which changes as regularly as do the
seasons, and which sometimes takes
very queer and curious freaks. For in
stance, last spring the type of beauty
that was all the rage was termed the
"Daniel Gabrie. Rossett STYLE" This
type of beauty is assuredly one of the
most peculiar known. 1t wal originated
by the Princess de Sagan, who is a great
leader of fashion in Paris, and who APP
peared in her box at tie opera one
evening gotten up in the wonderfully
striking "Daniel Gabriel Rossetti STYLE"
The most noticeable feature of this style
OF beauty is the hair, which is dyed
green and arranged in a pyramid
head. Strange to say, the green
lair, though, of course. unnatural, is
very pretty and odd. 1t is dyed the
most delicate and lovely shade of green
known, namely Nile Green. The com
plexion that goes with this hair must be
like a soft, slightly blushing peach, all
cream and white. The eyes are black or
Drown, the lips their natural color, and
the eyebrows dyed to match the hair.
Floating gowns, white in color, and COM
posed Of airy, fairy lucille. are always
worn with this type OF beauty. Every
woman in Paris has The mania for ap.
pearing like a"Daniel Gabriel Rosetti
beauty" for awhile, but at present in
Paris, which, by the way, Victor Hugo
calls the "center of civilization, j" green
hair relgns no more, and Dame Fashion
dictates that her daughters shall nowtap-
pear as in many different styles of beau
ty as is possible, believing no doubt,
That variety is the spice of life"
In New York, for the past two seasons,
there has been great rivalry existing be-
tween the loving blonde and darling bru-
nette beauties. The war still RACES .furi-
ously, and it is hard to tell at the pres
ent moment which is to come out veto
rious, and whether the blonde beauties
or their darker sisters will lead fashions
this winter, and which will be the more
popular. We do not often see in one
metropolis as many real blondes and as
many true brunettes as we have in New
York. A real blonde has light hair
with streaks of gold through it, eyes
that look like wild violete complexion
rare and white, with a delicate flush on
