THE BIRD OF THE DESERT.

CT. Anderson. in bis Explorations
aud Discoveries in Africa" gives some
interesting facts aboat the ostrich,
which he hunted with success and whose
habits he closely observed. 1.-The o.
trich, when full grown. stands no less
than from seven to eight feet, and in
stance are recorded where individual
birds have attained as much as nine
feet. Its weight is proportionate. J1dg-
ing from what / have experienced in
carrying the dead body, it is not less,
perhaps, tran 200 or 800 pounds. In
deed, there are persons who believe that
the mature bird, when in prime condi
ton. as butcher would say. will attain
a weight of 30 stone (40 poHnds.) The
cry of the ostrich so greatly resembles
that of lion as occasionally TO deceive
even the natives. Ii is usually heard
early in the morning, and at times also
at night. The strength of the ostrich
is enormous. A single blow from its
gigantic foot (it always strikes for
~ard) is sufficient to PROSTATE, nav,
to kill many beasts of prey. such
as the hyena, the panther, the
wild hog, the lsckal and others. The
ostrich IS exceedingly swift of foot,
ming feet horse. What time she
lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth
the horse and its rider y On special o.
casions, and fer q short distance its
speed is truly marvellous, perhaps not
much less than mile in half a minute.
It's feet appear hardly to touch the
ground, and the length between each
stride Is not unfrequentiy twelve or
hs of be -
in its wild state consists of the seeds,
tops and buds of various shrubs and
other plants. Bat il Is often difficult to
conceive how il can manage to live at
all. for one not safreqaently meets with
it in regions apparently destitute of
vegetation of any kind. When in con-
finement no bird or other animal exer-
cises 50 little discrimination in tie
cholce Of its food. for it then swallows
with avidity stones, pieces Of wood
and iron, spoons. knives and other
isdieestibie matters Many amusing
anecdotes are told Of the strange
habits OF this bird. Once, it is
said, when tn ostrich Was still a rare
sight in Elrepe, a woman. on hearing
of the arrival of a batch OF these birds,
aud being anxious to obtain a sight of

the key of the door 10 her hand. No
sooner. however, had she arrived on tbs
spot where the birds were kept. when
enc OF them stalked grsvely up 10 the
lady. and snatchine the key out of her
hand. deliberately, and 10 her great hor-
ror. swallowed IT, shutting her out OF
the house. 'One day. says Msfhven. in
hss Life in the Wilderness a Mus
eovy duck bsouRht promising brood Of
d1eklines into the world, and with ma.
terual pride eondacsed them forth into
the yard Up, With solemn and meas
ured stride, walked the ostrich, and

after the other, fks 50 many oysters,
regarding the indignant hissin2s and
oEisiiina plumAse Of the hapless mother
With stoical indiEerence.'

LEG BBoKEN.-Gus Priehe, aged IS, q
resident of Titusville, started home
Friday evening. walking along the line
of the railroad. When about eight
miles from the city, while walking the
trestle, a train came along, and in his
fright Priehe jumped from the track,
breaking his left leg near the ankle.
The train passed by, and it being dark
no one noticed the injured man. In his
stunned and helpless condition he lay
on the cold ground all night. Saturday
morning. while passing over the road
with engine No. 4, Conductor McElfresh
noticed the man lying there under the
trestle, stopped the train, took him on
board and brought him to Seattle. He
was sent to Providence Hospital, where
be is being cared for.

A Pretty Album.

Among new fancies is the leaf album.
To make one only requires the exercise
of little care and patience. First get
slab of plate glass and spread upon 1t
q dsuo OF printers ink; then get o
small roller such as printers use, and
roll 1t over the ink until the glass is
equally covered; then lay the leaf
clean and freshly gathered-on the
linked glass, and carefully draw the
roller over 1t. Next lift the leaf by the
stalk-using considerable tenderness
because of the fragilify OF the subject
and place 1t between folded sheet OF
paper; press and rub gently all over
1t, being careful not 10 let it alter its
position. Then take tho leaf out and
you have a beautiful clean impression
of both the front and back. The same
effect might be got To certain extent
with lamp-black, oil color or anything
of that kird, hut when it Is dcne with
printing ink 1t is not only far more
clear and distinct, but permanent. A
bit of common plate glass, or n bit OF
marble, or even n china palette, will
suffice to put the ink upon--apything,
In fact, SO long as 1t presents smooth
surface, is non- metallic and non.
absorbent.
