An Ostrloh Raes.

At a command from the doctor one Of the
Madrasese keepers opened the doors Of one OF
the pens, and in response to the doctors call
two superb oStriches came running 70 him.
After caressing the gentle creatures for few
moments he showed them handful Of figs,
Of which they were extremely fond. Two Of
his men then restrained the birds by placing
nooses about their legs until he and myself
had walked to the other end Of the course.
Then, at a signal from the doctor, the birds
were released and the race began. It was a
rare sight Ornithologists tell us that the
stride Of the ostrich when feeding is from
twenty to twenty-five inches; when walking,
but not feeding, twenty-six inches, and when
terrified, from eleven and one-half to four
teen feet. It seemed to me that in this race
for a handful OF figs from their master these
gigantic birds covered the last named dis
tance at every stride
Like the wind they came, their great necks
stretched forward and upward TO their ut.
most length; their wings like arms, working
with a motion similar 70 that made by their
legs, and filing the air with mighty sound
like the rushing OF whirlwind. Nearer and
nearer they came, their speed increasing
with every moment till was almost terrified
lest they should run US down, feeling certain
that we could not Withstand the shock. They
kept well abreast for nearly half the dis
tance, and then one began to forge ahead.
He steadily increased his lead till within a
few feet Of u.s. when he turned his head, and
seeing that his competitor was considerably
in the rear, he slackened his pace, and Jog.
ging up to the doctor, received his reward IN
fgs and caresses. Angeles Lotter.

Balls Fun of Life.

During tramp through the woods OF Van
Diemen's Land a sportsman observed what
be thought to be immense hornets nests hang
ing to the limbs Of high trees. He spoke Of
them TO bis host, and the next day the farmer,
going with him to the woods, said; "WAtch
that nest while fire at it As the report Of
the gun burst upon the air the nest, or ball,
fell apart as If by magic, while a loud chirp,
ing came from each fragment, that instead
Of dropping to the ground rose high above
the trees and winged itself away. The round
gray ball was a cluster Of wood swallows,
and the farmer told the sportsman that when

high limb with q musquitO net 70 capture

These are the only birds known to have this

In dust of roses in an antique jar,
with rare sweet savOrs round and DER 1t,
OF spicy odors time can never mar,
md letter by woman writ.
No ghost could make me shudder at the
q sight
As this poor missive all so long unseen,
wherein read OF all my lost delight
And all the sweetness of what might have
been,
Awoman's face a won an tender touch,
woman's gentle voice and soft caress-
Yourself my darling, whom L loved SO
much,
Forever by my side to soothe and bless
ALI mine for but one poor unspoken prayer
My faint lips might have uttered long
All lost, and surely this is hard to bear.
Becau l did not hope and could not
know!
hold the crumpled sheet that tells 1t all,
And, lookin5 on your gracious loving
words,
recall,
Mad glad by whispering leaves and song
OF birds.
And In green and shady woodland place
l see the springs pale sunshine on your
The matchless marble beauty of your face,
Beyond all other wOmens cold and fair.
Across dreary gulf OF years and pain
You come radiant vision of the past,
And all unchanged, uLwithered, still re-
o love, as when 1 looked upon you lastl
Ab, had told you in that hour, my sweet,
OF all the true deep love you could not
And poured my souls wild passion at your
feet,
nigh, have heard your soft and whis
pered "Yes"
But fool, and blind, I did not dare to speak
No tender glance or word would fear al
low
Because my love had made my heart SO
weak!
Iwrote my prayer, and read the answer
Now-and waited, oh, with what despair
In that dead time of bitter loss and shame
And while 1 deemed my grief too hard to
bear,
You watched and wondered, and I never
came!
Some wayward chance, some pitiful mis-
take
All me, could sadder destiny appear?-
Two lives were ruined and two hearts
might break
This letter lay among the roses here!
oh. cold, and cruel ironv of fate,
That having held most precious gifts un
seen,
Then mocks us with the bitter words, "Toe
late"
And hardest taunt of all, at might have
been?"

Mr.. Lamar is lawyer of adequate
learning and ability, eminently quail
fled for the work Of the Supreme
Court. His fitness in all such re-
spects is unquestioned. He is Dem
ocrat while the majority in the SEN
ate are Republicans, but that cannot
for one moment be accepted as a
reason for the rejection Of his
name. To make it such would
be for the Senate to effect to take
away the Presidents constitutional
power to appoint, and to assert the
doctrine OF eligibility to the Supreme
Court is to be limited to men Of one
party, ground which no rational
person would admit to be just, reason
able or safe.-[New York CONNER
