attempting to murder his wife. Gray

A VISIT TO AN OSTRICH FARM.

Curious Use of Cinnamon.

| california Cor. Springfield Republlcan.l
During our stay at Los Angeles we
visited the ostrich ranch, some twenty
miles below. 1t is the only one in the
country. The place was started two or
three years ago by party Of English cap
italists who brought over thirty.two birds.
Remote as they are now from their native
wilds, they seem to flourish well, and the
venture, begun at first under somewhat
doubtful circumstances, is turning out
successful undertaking. These immense
birds are kept In corrals. A common
board fence, higher than the ordinary.
surrounds each corral, and divides them.
There is space or open lane between the
pens--a driveway for teams, and TO carry
food 10 he birds. They eat u wagon load
Of shells in enc day, besides large
amount Of coarse food, vegetables
alfalfa o: cloyer.grass, etc. The cost Of
each Is 200, nnl their weight is from 800
to 400 pounds. They lay seventy.1ve eggs
each year, and each egg is valued at 500.
Their feathers are plucked twice year,
eack plucIing averaging $500. The eggs
weigh two and a half pounds. II requires
four strong men to hold one Of these pets
while plucking their pluines. 1t seems a
cruel process, and no wonder the birds re.
sist so hard. They are savage and dau.
gerous when attacked, and can only be
handled aftor sack or stocking leg has
been drawn over the head. They drive
them into corner, and slip as quietly as
possible behind them TO draw the covering
rapidly on--some feathers are pulled out
easily, others are cut, and ono has to un-
derstand his business to prevent the bird
from bleeding to death.
When the eggs arc to be gathered a
Chinaman Is called into the arena. The
ostrich seems to have taken fierce dislike
TO the smile o. the heather Chinee, and is
so taken up with al, efforts to attack him
that men slip in unnoticed and take posses
sion of Che eggs.

The taxable valuation of property in
New York city for this year is ST. 9,781,-
900, an increase OF $40,OO0,OOO over last
year. A list of the heaviest taxpayers in
the city shows 1,67O who pay on over $780,
900, some them paying on $15,00O,OOO. The
entire 1,67O pay on $47s,0OO,0OO, or more
than one-third the total valuation in the
city. The other two.thirds is divided
among about 10000 Taxpayers, who pay
on amounts ranging from $50 to 100000.
The taxable valuation is estimated at sew
enty per cent. of the true value of the
property. In many cases 1t Is smaller
still. The Metropolitan Hotel property,
which is estimated to be worth $2,0OO,000,
is assessed at $3.50, 1000, or less than one-half.
The Stewart store, on Broadway and
Chambers street, which recently sold for
$2,2OO,OO0, is assessed at $95O,OOO. The
W. II. Vanderbilt mansion, which is
said to have cost $2,OOO,OOO, is valued
at $1,000,000. The Stewart mansion,
which cost 100000, is valued at $780,
600. Jay Gould lives in house valued
at $150,O0O, and standing in the name of
George Opdyke. The Windsor Hotel, which
cost $1,SJ0,O00, is valued at $73O, 900.
The W. H. Vanderbilt house is valued
at $5O0,OOO. The Herald, Bennett and
Morse buildings are valued respectively
at S450,000, 100000 and S350,0OO, which
is supposed to be about half what they
are worth. There are 1903 women who pay
on an aggregate of $35, 900, the lead
ing ones being Mrs. A. t. Stewart, $5,OO0,.
900; Mary G.. Pinkuey, S2,663,000; Helen

S15,272 900. Trinity Church pays on So
5000, while 1t owns property supposed
to be worth S3O,OOO,OOO. 1t is to be oh
served that many of the wealthiest men
pay on sums that bear but small proper
ton on their real wealth-William H.
Vanderbilt on 50, 1872 900, and Jay Gould on
y455,O00. The explanation is that the
wealth of these men consists chiefly in
United States bonds, which are not tax
able, and other stocks, the taxes on which
are paid by the corporations issuing them.

Invention OF Matches,

Friction matches were invented In
England by Walker, in 1929. Up to
nearly that time the old birthstone
match was used, an article whose origin
is hidden in the dim past. It consists
of slender stick, pointed at the end.
dipped in melted sulphur, and was
lighted by touching it to the spark
struck into tinder by flint and steel.
As was said above. this match prevailed
until about the close of the first quarter
of this century, when various improve
ments were attempted. First of these
was the "Instantaneous-light box" fol-
lowed by the lucifer or loco-foco match,
and that. in turn, by the Congreve
match, which was similar to the one
now in use. The composition of tho
friction match is of phosphorus and nj
ter. orphosphorus, sulphur and chlorate
of potash, mixed with melted gum or
glue, and colored with vermilion, SCOT,
amber, or red lead. Into this is dipped
the end o. the wooden body of the
match. This match has superseded all
others, and has been carried to great
perfection in our own oountry.-lptev
Ocean.
