 French temperance people have not yet reached the point of recommending total abstinence. They advise the re- striction of drinking to meal times.
 The Paris Patr1e, which calls the month of January, 1886, 'the red month," shows that on every day of January there was a murder or an at tempt at murder in France.
 Efforts are still being made to dis cover the golden candlestick of Solo mons Temple which Titus carried to Rome in triumph, and which is sup posed to be in the bed of the Fiber.
 The discovery has recently been made at Oranienburg, Germany, that even wild boars are not free from trichine. It is the first case of the kind officially verified, and steps are being taken at once to extend the inspection.
 pr. C. L. Fitch, who has been for five years in charge of Kakaako Leper Hospital, in Honolulu, thinks that in fifteen years there will be only enough natives left to make curiosities. Liquor and leprosy are killing them off.
 Germany gets the services of her Iron Chancellor remarkably cheap. Be sides the use of his official residence he receives only about S1S,000 a year. MT. Gladstone's salary is S25, ,000, and that of the British Lord High Chancellor S50,000.

 -Hu Hsueh-yen, the ex-millionaire and banker of Hongkow, is dead. He was originally a clerk, but acquired great wealth in the tea trade, which he subsequently, lost in speculation, and died poor.

OSTRICH FARMING.
Once Profitable Business Which Has
 Proved a Failure.

A Once Profitable Business Which Has
 Proved Failure.
 Mir. Jacob Van Stein, formerly one oi the largest breeders of ostriches in the world, who is on visit to this city, while in conversation with reporter, said: "Ostrich farming is played out and I have left the business. l have been fortunate enough to earn com potency and I intend settling down as farmer in my native land. Ostrich farming may be said to date not further back than 1865. In 1868 J. Booysen, of Graf Reinet, and Joel Myers, of Aber- deen, Africa, entered into the business of ostrich farming on an elaborate scale. The first advertisement of do- mesticated ostriches for sale in the col ony came from MT. Booysen. Mir. Boovsen persisted in the then very novel undertaking with varying fortune until it reached its meridian of success in 1878, 1879 and 1880, when in return for his unwavering perseverance and faith, he reaped substantial pecuniary reward. In 1874-75 Messrs. Douglass, of Gra- hamstown; Hobson, of Ebenezer, and J. S. Parks, of Wheatlands, began fencing and ostrich farming and breeding on an intelligent scale. Douglass was the first man to introduce the incubator into the colony. So engrosSed did the colonial world become with the all-ab- sorbing topic of ostrich-farming that, go where you would, ostriches were the universal theme of discussion. An FL dorado was brought home to every mans door. The plethoric, lethargic Boer. sitting on his stoop with pipe in hand and cup of coffee at his elbow, reveled in day-dreams of auriferous wealth. Every chicken that hurried at his call represented so many bank notes, and every snowy graceful feather on those of larger growth shining piece of gold. know one Boer who was repeatedly offered seven hundred pounds for a pair of breeding os- triches, and who steadily refused. They produced four broods per year, averaging fifteen birds to a brood, which he would sell when four months old at f15 each, making an income of f900 yearly. In 1878, 1879 and 1880 nearly every available plot of ground suitable for the purpose, even gardens and back yards in towns and villages, were turned for the time into breeding and rearing paddocks. Feathers were at their maximum prices, prime whites bringing from 94O to 970 per pound, Erst-class breeding birds from f200 to $500 per pair, young full-grown pluck ing birds f25 to e35 each, nine-months- old birds, with chicken feathers on, from 912 to 915, and chicks just out of the shell f5 each. At last, in 1881, the great tidal wave of prosperity began to ebb, and the fatal ''burst-up'' came, bringing with it series of disastrous and rqinous failures. Obscure diseases of the liver and lungs became prevalent among the ostriches. The price of feathers came down to third of their former value, and chickens were a drug in the market at two shillings and six pence each. And so it has continued Ostrich farming is dead, not only in South Africa, but in New Zealand, Cali fornia and every place else.-M. r MGiI and EIpreSS.

Street Scenes That Afford Rich Treat to
 the Student of Human Nature.
 The street scenes of Naples are study in themselves, and would entertain a traveller for days even if he never en- tered a building. The curious garbS ot the ecclesiastics, who seem to form a large proportion of the inhabitants, the grotesque appearance of the street ven- ders, with their wares billed up above their heads, and hanging to all parts of their bodies, the brilliant dresses of the middle-class women, and the fantastic costumes of the beggars, who are pict- uresque in fheir very nakedness, give variety to the scene. The cat s-meat man. with his yiands strung on a long pole. from which he detaches piece and carves it with his knife for each of his four-fc0ted clients, is a most extra ordinary sight. The public scribe, pro- tected from the rays of the sun by m umbrella, as he sits at table inGcting love-letter, perhaps, for a Geapolitan damsel as beautiful as she is illiterate, is useful as well as picturesque. Another remarkable parsonage is the cigar scavenger, who at night goes about with his lantern hunting for old stumps, which he sells to manufac- turers to be converted into the filling for fresh cigars. To these may be added the zampognari or bagpipcrs, and 2, host of other curious characters, ranging anywhere from cardinal, at- tired ill crimson and riding in a gil1ed coach, to baby bound up, after she manner of Neapolitan babies, in the straitest of swaddling-clothes, and louk- ing more like roil of linen just come from draper's shop than human be- ing.
 The advent of the zampognari in Naples always heralds the approach of one of the more important church festi- vals. They come from their distant homes in the mountains of the Abruzzi to Naples and the surrounding towns to celebrate the Immaculate Concep- tion and the advent of Christmas. Wearing pointed felt hats, wrapped in long brown cloaks, under which occasionally appears goat-skin jacket adorned with large metal buttons, their legs en- cased in tight-ftting brooches as far as the knee, and their feet adorned with rags fastened by leather thongs about the ankle and calf. they are most pie turesque objects. Thus attired, the gam pognari 20 from house to house, sing ing and playing before the little gilded images of the Virgin and the Child, and stopping before the street shrines, where they repeat their monotonous. song. On Christmas Eve, when there is spirit of liberality abroad. the zampognari usual ly receives large number of coppers. and as much in the way of food and drink as his stomach can accommodate. When the festival is over they return to their mountain homes, there to pass their time as laborers or shepherds until the next occurs. The bag-pipers of the Abrllzzi frequently act as models, their picturesque costume adapting itself read fly to artistic purposes.-M. E. Va'1dyne, 70 Hayper'S Mdgazine.
