OSTRICH FEATHERS.
How the Health of the Bird Affects It
 Valuable Fumes.

How the He2Ibn or the Bird Affects It's
 Valuable Fumes.
 Ostrich chicken feathers are useless until they are a year old; they are rare ly cut before. At twelve months they are cut off The stumps dry. and after few weeks the bird sheds them, or they can be drawn outwithout pain and with ease. The feathers then take six months to grow before they can again be cut. Three pluckings are obtaina- ble in two years time. The process of plucking continues for many years, but it requires the greatest care to prevent the feathers deteriorating. The feath- CTS from the wild bird are the longest and finest, but rarely more than three on one bird are sufficiently perfect to render them fit for commerce. Hence the necessity of the farm. A male bird turns black at about the age of eighteen months. The black and black-and- white feathers are pulled from different parts of the body; the white feathers come from one row only in the wing: tail feathers are never as white as those in the wing, and are usually bleached for '.tips" So little is known about the habits of the ostrich that people are surprised to find how the health of the bird affects its feathers. In many of the best feathers is what appears to be line running across the feather. This, may be, is not caused by the packing-string being too tightly tied, but by a days illness. So delicate are the feathers and so inti- mately and so wonderfully connected With the organization of the bird that days dyspepsia from overlooking or un- derfeeding will leave this mark. A del icate bird has its feathers more or less marked throughout. Ostriches are not camped out for breeding until the male bird is four and the hen three years of age. They lay from ten to fifteen eggs and incubate forty-two days. The male bird is pattern husband and father; if accident should overtake his mate it is most usual for him to continue the sit ting, and he has frequently been known to bring off the brood successfully, ''mothering" them with the greatest care until they can peck, which is not until three days after matching. The nest of the ostrich is always in the sand, and is scratched out by the male bird; the hen forms perfect wall of sand round her with her wings before the eggs are matched. The ostrich knows no fear, and is most formidable and dangerous opponent. Their cry, which answers to cock-crowing, is a deep bel low that can be heard for couple of miles, and is called 'bromming. The depression in ostrich farming has been caused by an overstocked market. Naturally those in climates suited to the bird imported them from the Cape. When the steed was stolen, the Cape Government locked the stable door; but alas! the one hundred pounds premium on every bird exported was too late measure to prevent thriving farms growing in Australia and India, and it Is with chagrin bordering on despair that the Cape farmers find the retail trade gleaning the profits.

HIS PRECIOUS TRUNK.
Experience of Detroit Tax-Payer Who Is
 Prosecuted by H. Luck.

Experience of a Detroit Tax-Payer Who Is
 Prosecuted by IIl- Luck.
 There was one man who didn't take kindly to the late accident on the West Shore by which dozen or more trunks were smashed and their contents ruined. When the passengers were notified to exhibit their checks and make a statement of damages this man ex- hibited his piece of brass and declared that nothing less than three hundred dollars would make him whole.
 Pretty valuable trunk" remarked the official.
 ''Yes, sir; was going to Europe for a year.
 The passengers gathered at the wreck ed car to identify what had been saved, and as the parcels were handed down the number of the checks were called off. Pretty soon out came thin, lean, cadaverous old carpet-bag which did not seem to contain more than shirt and pair of socks, and as the number of the check was called the official con- suited his list and remarked to the man:
 ''This is your baggage, sir"
 "Y-e-s, I think SO.
 That's the hree-hundred-do dollar trunk going to Europe with you!"
 "Y-e-s, that's the one."
 There was a general laugh at his ex- pense, during which he retreated to the passenger-car. Some one presently asked him how he came to make such mistake" and he replied:
 .Why, don't ye know, supposed the car and every thing in it had been smashed to bits. I never did have luck uohow in these railroad smash-ups." Detroit Free Press.

Just Like Mamma.

If mothers could always realize the ideals they represent to their children they would be greatly encouraged in their arduous duties. A lady riding upon a street car saw little boy whom she knew.
 "So you have little sister, Willie," she remarked, pleasantly. ''ls she pretty baby?"
 ''She looks just like mamma" was the smiling answer.
 "What do you call her?" asked the lady.
 ''She's named after mamma" an- swered the little fellow promptly.
 Everybody was smiling, and, to re- lieve the lady's embarrassment, his friend inquired the color of the baby's hair.
 ''It's the same color as mammals" he responded, timidly.
 A gentleman who had been amused by the dialogue. asked the wee man if the new little sister was good baby.
 ''Yes, sir," was the prompt reply ''She is just like mammal !''-DetroI Free Press.

PRETTY GIRLS.

Here is a question the maidens are asking:
 How can we make ourselves fair? One thinks that her cheeks are a little too
 red;
 Another Is puzzIing her pretty head
 To know how 10 curl her straight hair. This lassie's cheeks are little too pale
 How can she make them red? And this little lady's hands are not quite As smooth and slender and soft and white
 As lady's should be-" she said. And this one thinks she's trifie too plump Another one thinks she's too small; Her teeth are not quite as pretty as pearls; And what shall we do for these poor, poor
 gi Is
 That can not be happy at all? And I, who look at them, can not see
 Why they are dissatisfied; They look like a garden Of roses in blOomi Yet over them all there is resting the gloom Of some fancied beauty denied. The mystical secret is mine to impart; Listen. all who covet the power Of beauty's magic: The wonderful art Lies down in the depths of a gentle heart,
 And shines from the eyes every hour. The hands that do charity's gentle deeds
 Are white as the angels above; And whether the cheeks be rosy or fair, If innocent bushes and health be there,
 They are pretty enough to love, If over the beautiful lips, dear girls,
 But gentle words are said; And whether the form be plump or slight, If only the heart is pure and light
 You are pretty enough to wed. --Abbe Kinne, in N. r. Ledger.

WHOLESOME BREAD.
A Simple Receipt Which Is Certainly
 Worth Trial.

A 6eceIpG Wnlcn ls
 Worth Trial.
 It is strange that so many people should know so littte about the prepara- tion of really good food. It is useless to point out few shining examples here and there-go east or west or north or south and good bread, for instance, is almost unknown. And coffee! who has hot shuddered time and again at the decoction served under that namep 1 have drank it when I could not have told to save my life whether l was drinking coffee or tea, or both, or some thIng else. But to return to bread. To be really good, it should be white, spongy and tough. with dark red crust that melts in the mouth with an indescribable sweetness, and leaves but one wish in the heart-more bread. To make it, but two things are necessary; good flour and good hop yeast. No one can afford to use poor flour, for it absorbs so much water that it will not go one-half as far as flour of a better grade. The next requisite is home made yeast. The dry kinds in mar ket are seldom fresh, and yeast is so easily made and so easily kept that it is poor policy to buy it.
 The following receipt know to be good: Four potatoes, two handfuls of hops, one tablespoonful of ginger, two of salt, half cup sugar and one half cup of good fresh yeast. Boil the potatoes and hops together, and scald half a cup of flour with the water; as soon as sufficiently cold, add the yeast, sugar, salt and ginger and ferment twenty four hours, and then bottle. It will keep six weeks in the hottest weather. Half q cupful will make from fonr to six loaves. The bread should be set over night, and thoroughly kneaded in the morning, the longer the better. but from half to three-quarters of an hour, anyway. Bake well, and just before taking from the oven, wet the tops ot the loaves with cold water to insure that deep, dark red glaze so dear to the good bread lover's heart. Never use par ticle of butter or lard in bread, for it destroys the crustiness. - Cor. Ohte FdTnler.

 Did you ever sit quietly and watch a toad catching his supperP If not just try it, and you will find that it is a very interesting as well as an amusing sight. There he sits, on the edge of the path, his bright, bulging eyes fixed intently on fly that has just alighted close to him-so very close, in fact, that you wonder what the toad is wait ing for, since he has only to dart out his tongue and whisk the fly down his throat; but he does not do it. No; he stays motionless, his eyes twinkling with eagerness; and if only that fly knew what we know, the toad would never touch him, for all he has to do is to keep perfectly still until his foe
