The attachment of birds TO their offspring

the ostrich is not behind his smaller rela

relates story in point:
'ln part Of the plain entirely destitut,
OF vegetation we discovered a pair o.
ostriches, with brood of young about a,
large as barn-door fowls. We forthwith
dismounted from our oxen and gave chase
The moment the parent birds became awar,
of our intention, they set of at full speed

lowing in her wake, and the male. though

ahkiety of the old birds for the safety OF
their progeny. Finding us rapidly eainins
upon them. the male slackenea pace ant
diverged somewhat from HE course: bu,
seeing that we were not to be diverted from
our purpose, he again increased his speed
and, with wings dropping so as to almos

fired at him, really thought he was dis

this was only ruse on his part. for on my

to run in direction opposite from that Of

A Woman Church Bull der.

Miss Mary Gray bel is missionary
in the heart Of India, and is sustained
by the sect known as Disciples. The
Sunday schools Of that denomination in
the Uuited States recently raised fund
of $4,000, which they sent to her for
the purpose Of erecting a church for
her mission In letters to her family
in Buffalo she modestly tells how the
work was doue.
1t appears that she had to serve as
architect. master-buiIder. and general
boss mechanic First she bought four
yoke Of buffaloes to do the teaming !;
then a few big trees-they are very
scarce in that part of the country. Size
employed a hundred natives, or nearly
that number, whomIshe taught to quarry
the stone, which had to be hauled sever
al miles; and to make brick, first
tramping the clay, ftshioning it into tue
bricks, and then burning them, using
the spare portion of the trees for fuel.
The trunks of the trees were laboriously
by hand sawed into boards for the floors,
roofs, etc. A stone foundation three
feet thick was laid three feet below
ground and as much above, this solid
base wall being deemed necessary to
keep out the white ants, which are
great pest of the country. Evidently
a good job was made of the wall, for
Miss Graybiel ingenuously relates that
an Englishman visitor inquired who
had been the engineer, and expressed
much surprise when told that she had
directed the work herself. -Bnfalo
