esMrs. Herndon's Income" which recently appeared serially in the Christian Union, has been published in book form. Its author, Helen Campbell, is a writer of power and in this work makes Gan elegant plea for the down-trodden." It is novel with style of it's own and possessed of great strength. Like "The What-to-Do Club" it is an un- pretending story, yet one urging to more i'm proving and enthusiastic work and te high CT level of social life. It is @ story with a moral. but is an exception to the rule that stories with morals are not interesting. Rob erts Brothers, publishers, Boston. For sale in this city by H. H. Peck.
 Hidden Sweetness" tho poems of Mary Bradley, have been published in neat edi- ton, with artistic illustrations by Dorothy Holroyd. The poems are filled with a ten derness of expression and depth of reli- gious feeling rarely found in works with which we come in daily contact. Each one of the score or moro of poems in this little volume is gem in itself. No one can read "A Canticle of Spring" "Comforted, D "Thy Law' or Reclaimed" without emotion. The poems possess g rare power not to be found in other greater works. Roberts Brothers, publishers, Boston. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.

this up they could be pinioned. The feath- CTS taken from the breast, wings and tail, all above the dreaded kicking apparatus. At
 present the ostrich keepers press upon the
 birds from behind, ard as long as they keep behind they are safe. The man who plucks proceeds with despatch. An adult bird is
 plucked every seven months. and yields about twenty-five long feathers and several "tips." The tips are taken from the wings. The feathers on the Lack are left for the protec- tion of the bird. During this plucking oper- ation men have been kicked by the birds, but not to be hurt. Had the bird had fair for
 ward kick, the result could hardly have been other than fatal to the person kicked. The
 young ostrich which for some time went
 about on one wooden and one natural leg
 was injured through fear. The boards on
 the corral were outside of the posts. The
 bird was frightened at something and ran against post, something which could not
 have been foreseen, and one leg was broken. A wooden leg was made, or sort of stilt,
 to take the place of this, but after little the bird died. It was an object of interest to all visitors

Characteristics of the California Os-

triehes.
 From the San Francisco Bulletin
 The sight of dog is sufficient to frighten an ostrich badly. At such vision, if permit ted so to do, the ostriches in the eorrals would immediately bespeeding over the sandy plain, through waste of tall wild sunfoW- CTS, at gait which would astonish horse trainer. Dr. Sketchly has three dogs on his farm, but they are all kept behind the build jugs out of sight of the ostriches. When a keeper approaches to annoy them they emit a hissing noise like goose, and try to bite the intruder. They have strength in their bills, however, and are harmless unless they get chance to kick. Unlike the emu which is often exhibited as an African ostrich, they have but one toe on each foot. This is a terrible weapon. The bird kicks forward The force is shown by the exploit of one bird which kicked stout board on the side of it's corral and broke it into two at one blow. The tos is pointed and will cut like knife. The bird which was killed with one kick had it's breast laid open with an ugl gly wound. Of the young birds all are perfectly shaped, ex- cept one which has club foot and which walks on the back of the elubbed foot, the toe turning up. The gait of even this bird is elastic. All the birds walk precisely after the fashion adopted by many young ladies in San Francisco of late, whose gait may therefore, perhaps, be correctly described in the future as the ''ostrich walk" It is as if the birds stepped on hot gridirons. The feet are taken briskly up and raised high and the body and head oscillate. This style was learned in South Africa and not in San Fran cisco, and is as old as the race of desert birds.
 Silly fear and ferocity are the characteris- tics of the cstriches everywhere. Some are more ill-tempered, but all are dangerous if not approached with care. No method has been discovered by which they can be pluck ed except that of drawing stocking over the head, leaving hole that the bird may breathe. To accomplish this the bird is lured close to the fence of the corral by delicaoy like corn, and is then seized by the neck. Just as soon as it is hooded in this way it is comparatively helpless, for it will not kick unless it can see what it is kicking at. One way to pl1ck them is to have small corral, the back of which is movable By pushing

LINEN THREAD AND THE TARIFF

Perhaps as interesting and instructive 8 letter as any of those sent In reply to Secre- tary Manning's inquiry concerning the advis- ability of meddling with the tariff is that from the agents of the Grafton (Massachu- setts) flax mills. These mills are run by 8 Scottish firm who are largely engaged in the manufacture of linen thread at Johnstone, Scotland. This firm thought it prudent to invest considerable capital in the Grafton mills in order to make there certain styles or varieties of linen threads which could not be imported to advantage under the present tar if. These manufacturers, though foreign CTS, have now large interests here, whose val ue depends upon the question whether their capital can be usefully employed; that is to say, whether they can sell their threads made here at profit in competition with European manufactures.
 All the flax used at the Grafton mills is imported, because nothing suitable is pro- duced in the United States. As to the cost of manufacturing here as compared with that in Scotland, this firm can speak with author ity. On this subject they say that the wages paid at Grafton are at least twice those paid in Scotland for the same work The Grafton machinery is imported, none like it being made in the United States. The duty, freight and other charges made it cost at least fifty per cent. more than in Scotland Buildings here, equipped and in running order, cost twice as much as in Scotland. Sup plies of most kinds cost higher, and coa three times as much in Scotland
 "Under such circumstances, say these manufacturers, "a protective duty on the manufactured thread is absolutely essential to the existence of an American linen thread mill. Taking into consideration all the vari- we are fully satisfied that any reduction of the present duty on linen thread, which is forty per centum ad valorem, would entail the most serious results upon linen thread manufacturing in the United States and would make it extremely difficult for domss- tic thread manufacturers to hold their own against foreign made threads"
 If the tariff were removed the thread would be manufactured in Scotland, where it can be made cheaper, principally because of the lower rate of wages, the American thread manufactory would go to the wall and the price of thread would probably not be cheapened materially. All of which, we be- lieve, is thought to be desired by the free traders
