The Young Ostrich.

He is covered with speckled brown
downy feathers except ON the head and
neck and legs; he is as wild, shy and
active as the young antelope fawn, and,
only day old, isas large as a full grown
Leghorn hen. Uneasy and restless, in
constant motion and withinquiring eyes,
he no doubt waits impatiently the com
panions who are to join him in his
feather producing career.
Preparatory to any nourishing food,
he had placed before him VIXEN about
twenty-four hours old tray of small
gravel stones and crushed sea-shells; sub
sequent to this tonic he had handful of
chopped alfalfa. This lays the founda-
ton for meal of cracked corn and water,
and when this had been eaten the bird is
considered on the straight road to dis
tinction as the first ostrich hatched in
merica.-Anaheim (C0l.) letter.

A Divers Work.

''What different sorts of work do div
ers do9" New York Sun reporter asked
diver.
"Well, they lay sea walls, blast rocks,
build piers for bridges, repair vessels,
tear up wrecks, search for dead bodies,
recover things that have fallen overheard,
and do anything that is to be done under
the water"
SIS it dangerous business?"
SIT is and it isn't. 1t is easy for IA
diver to be killed, and yet few do get
killed. George Seaman cut his hose by
accident while at work on the sloop
Troubler not long ago. He died, of
course. IL ones hose bursts or gets cut
mans gone. His winds stopped. The
hose burst on man named Jenkins, off
Governors Island, not long ago, and a
diver died in Boston few years ago, and
was said to have committed suicide by
hanging himself while at his work.
There are fifty or sixty divers in New
York, but you seldom hear of an acci-
dent"
''Do whales, or sharks, or sword fish.
or marine animals of any sort, attack
divers?"
''Not in these waters. There may be
such experiences in 1.-THE tropics. I've
read OF such things, but we've done lots
of work at sea around here and we have
never known of such thing. The other
way diver might die besides having his
hose cut or burst, is by having vessel
roll over on him while he is under it, but
they generally manage TO get away"

SHOWED THEM now no snoor.

A Texas military company were out on
the range recently practising at rife
shooting. The lieutenant in command
suddenly became exasperated at the poor
shooting, and, seizing a gan from one of
the privates, angrily exclaimed:
''Tll show you fellows how to shoot ~
Taking long aim, and strong aim,
and an aim altogether, he fred and
missed. Coolly turning to the private
who owned the gun, he said:
''That's the way you shoot"
He again loaded the weapon and
missed. Turning to the second man in
the ranks, he remarked:
"That's the way you shoot"
In this manner he contrived to miss
about fifty or sixty times, illustrating to
each soldier his personal incapacity, and
finally he accidentally hit the target.
''And that" he calculated, handing
the gun back to the private, "is the way
I shoot. .n-SittingS.

Some ten years ago while at the Reed
House, Erie, Pa, / was taken sick with tho
spotted fever and was very low; my back and
spine seemed to be affected, with terrible
pains in kidneys and back. For fourteen
days llaid, and could hardly stir, and suffered
the most intense agony imaginable. My feet
and limbs we're bloated; my water was very
unnatural, a deep, red color and brick-dust
deposit, and was fast losing strength and
vitality. The doctors treated me, but with
no benefit, and / used many different medi-
cines that had been recommended. None
of them did me any good until used Hunts
Remedy, as my attention was called To. the
case of Hon. Joshua Trthill, of East Sag
inRw, Mich, n similar case TO mine, he being
cured of n severe case of Bright's disease. /
purchased q bottle, and used IL according 10
directions. / began TO gain in strength; my
water became more natural; the terrible
pains in the back and loins were removed;
the swelling of my limbs went down. / con-
tinued the use of the medicine until / had
used in all five 90 bottles, and it has built
me up and completely cured me, and / am
as sound and healthy as any man Of forty
eight years of age, and can attend 10 my
business every day. l have recommended
Hunts Remedy 10 many of my friends here
in Buffalo, and it has proved, as in my case,
q success with them all. Gratefully yours,

Fattening Girls.

Throughout the Empire of Morocco
there are villages where the eldest mem
bers of the adult population follow pro-
fessionally the pursuit of fattening young
girls for the matrimonial market of Bar
barry. The Moors, like the Turks, give
a decided preference to "moonfaced {"
wives over lean ones, and are more solic-
itous rs to the number of pounds which
their wives weigh than about the stock
of accomplishments which they possess.
The fattening process begins when the
girl is about twelve years old. Stiff
maize porridges kneaded up with grease
is daily fed to her in the form of boluses.
