creased by placing at one end board
of the width Of the sink and two and q

An Ostrich Race.

DR.. J. G. Sketchley, near Los Ange.
les, California, has sixty acres devoted
to ostriches, having imported thirty
pairs of these birds directly from Afri-
ca, landing them at Galveston, Texas.
He also brought with them four Me-
drasese men and women, these people
being thoroughly familiar with the
habits of the ostrich. A eyewitness
gives the following account of an os-
trich race:
"At command from the doctor, one
Of the Medrasese keepers opened the
door ofone of the pens, and in response
to the doctors call two superb ostrich
es came running to him. After caress-
ing the gentle creatur for few mo-
ments, he showed them & handful of
figs, ofwhich they are 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
sign from the doctor, the birds were
released, and the race began. 1t was
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, twen-
ty-siX inches; and when terrified, from
eleven and one-half to fourteen feet.
1t seemed to ME, in this race for q
handful of figs from their master, these
gigantic birds covered the last-named
distance at every stride. Like the
wind they came, their great necks
stretched forward and upward to their
utmost length, their wings, like arms,
working with Motion similar to that
made by their egs, and filling the air
with mighty lsound like the rushing
OF whirl-wind. Nearer and nearer
they came, their speed increasing with
every moment, till was almost terri
fled lest they should run us down, feel, /
ing certain that we could not with
stand the shock. They kept well
abreast for nearly half of the d istance,
and then one began to forge head:
He steadily increased his lead till
within few feet of us, when he turn
ed his head, and seeing that his com
petitor was considerably in the rear, he
'lackened his pace, and jogging. up to
the doctor, received his reward i'll figs

A SIXTH SENsE.-Purity is sixth
sense, opening to us what the material
senses can never discern-the vision of
God. The most beautiful things open
not to the eye, but to the soul fitted to
understand them. Blessed are the
pure in heart, for they see what the
artistic eye of no Turner, Titan or
REYNOLDS can detect. To see God is q
higher gift than to discern the beau
ties His hand has diffused through ma
ture. TO man of materialistic tastes

A Hint for Girls.

At recent trial for divorce in New
York, the wife, who had been a gay
fashionable girl, testified that the diff
Guilty first arose between herself anC
her husband on his discovery, soon af
ter their marriage, that much of he
jewelry and bric-a-brac had been givel
to her by her former admirers.
This incident emphasizes mora
which every young girl should take tc
heart.
The husband, on this point, had
right on his side. No man of honora.
BILE feeling would be willing to see his
wife wear the rings or decorate his
house with the costly trifles which has
been given to her as tokens of the atfec,
ton of other men.
In this country, especially in vii
lagos and rural communities, it is not
uncommon for girls to accept gifts OF
jewelry, books and ornaments from
young men to whom they are not be-
trothed.
It is not the custom, let us state most
emphatically, in that class of our socie-
ty which is most scrupulous in its
Difference to the rules Of good-breed-
ing and in which young girls arc most
carefully protected. The man who
would offer jewelry or any costly orna-
ment to one Of these young girls
would be regarded as vulgar and igno-
rant of the first rules of etiquette.
This principle, like all others which
govern good manners, is based on
common-sense. No gentle-woman
should permit man who is not her
husband, kinsman or affianced lover,
to place her under momentary obliga-
ton; for the simple reason that such
all obligation gives the man hold up
on her which in many cases is danger
GUS, and in all is unseemly.
A good rule for the guidance of a girl
through the years when she is the OBJ
ject of admiration and flattery, is to do
nothing which she would not be will
ing to tell now to her mother and here
after to her husband, Life may be
made tanner for her by observing that
rule, but it will assuredly be more
pure, womanly and safe.

Extracts from Jonathan and his Con
tinent.
BY MAX O'RELL.


A lady, who enjoyed that most cs-
teemed of woman's rights, the right to
be pretty, gave ME some very curious
details on the subject of New York
life. Wewere speaking OF the security
Of women in the large cities, and of the
risk they ran in going out alone after
niglitfall.
II have been struck with the respcc-
liability of your American Streets"
said to her. zone never sees vice
Haunting by daylight, and in the eve
ming, whenever | have been through
the great arteries Of your city, | have
seldom seen anything that could shock
the eyes of an honest woman. In Par
is the b0ulevards are infested with
street walkers from S o'clock in the
evening, and the evil is much worse
in London, where from 4 or ) in the
afternoon q whole district is given over
to them."
"You are right" said the lady "but
if the streets of New York are respec-
table, it is thanks to us. If we had
waited until the men swept our pave
ments, we should have had to wait a
lang time. We cleaned them our
selves"
"What do you mean ,"
IA few years ago several young wo-
men, among whom / might name
members of our best society, resolved
upon going alone in the evenings, and
of striking the first man who dared to
accost them. They persevered for a
long while, and finally succeeded in
accomplishing the disinfection of the
main streets. Vice still exists, but il
keeps within doors, and hides instead
of parading itself. IF you are able to
90 out at night with your wife, or even
your young daughters; if lady can
90 to the theatre alone, and, if it please
her, return home OH foot, it is to Us
that thanks are due. And do you not
think that women, young. good look
ing and we'll bred, who could master
their disgust so far as to GO that which
the authorities were too cowardly to
undertake, are not worthy to have a
deliberate voice in the councils OF the
nation ?'

CLERGYMEN's SORE THRoATs.-An
English surgeon claims to have dis
covered the cause of clergymen's sore
throats. No other speakers are affect
ed in this way, and he has come to the
conclusion that the malady Is induced
by speaking down to a Congregation,
from an elevated pulpit, thereby de-
pressing the vocal organs and causing
irritation and congestion. If clergy,
men would hold the head erect and
speak up they would never have.
throat trouble, and even if already
suffering to some extent they may cure
themselves by speaking in right po-
sition. There are bad habits Of pho
nation, breathing, etc., which good
teacher can easily correct, but the
bending forward of the head and
over the sermon while read
ing it is worst of all, and any man
can correct himself in it.

CLEAN THE CORNERs.-A gentle
man once said that when he was boy
his father sent him to clean the win
dows. He got cloth, and began rub
bine away at the panes. By-and-by
his father came to see how the work
was getting on. He found the little
fellow rubbing at the middle ofa pane,
where it was already clean, and ney-
er touching the corners, which were
full Of dirt, and said:
"Never mind the middles Of the
panes-they are always clean; clean
the corners"
The boy never forgot what his father
said. and afterwards saw how well it
applied to his life and the lives of 9TH
ers, as we'll rs TO the window-panes.

Kind-Hearted Insects.

The Bible has made ants famous fol
industry and foresight, and modern
naturalists find few animals more wor-
thy of study. These insects are not
only surprisingly intelligent, but man
ifest a lively regard for each Others
welfare, as the following incident well
illustrates. 1t is taken from Mr.. Belts
Naturalist in Nicaragua:
Zone day, while watching small
column of these foraging ants, I placed
little stone OH one of them to secure
it. The next that approached, as soon
as it discovered its situation, ran back
in all agitated manner, to communi-
cate the intelligence to the others.
"They rushed to the rescue. Some
bit at the stone and tried to move it;
others seized the prisoner by the legs
and tugged with such force that I
thought the legs would be pulled off,
but they persevered till they got the
captive free.
II next covered one up with q piece
of clay, leaving only the ends of his
antennI projecting. 1t was soon dis
covered by its fellows, who set to work
Immediately, and, by biting Off pieces
of the clay, soon liberated it. Anoth-
er time found very few of them
passing along at intervals. | confined
one of these under niece of clay ut a
little distance from the line, with its
head projecting.
"Several ants passed it, but at last
one discovered it and tried to pull it
out, but could not. 1t Immediately set
Off at a great rate, and thought it had
deserted its comrade; but it had only
gone for assistance, for in short time
about dozen ants came hurrying up,
evidently fully informed of the cir
cumstances of the case, for they made
directly for their imprisoned comrade,
and soon set him free.
"The excitement and ardor with
which they carried on their unflagging
eXertions, could not have neen greater
if they had been human beings"

STEADINEss OF PURPosE.-In what
ever you engage, pursue it with stead
mess of purpose as though you were
determined to succeed. A vacillating
mind never accomplishes anything
worth naming. There is nothing like
a fixed, steady aim. 1t dignities our
nature and insures our success. Who
have done the most for mankind ?
Who have secured the rarest honors
Those who were steady to their pur-
poses. The man who is one thing to-
day and another to-morrow-who
drives idea pell-mell this week while
it drives him the next WEEKS always
in trouble, and does nothing from one
years end to another. Look at and
admire the man of steady purpose.
He moves noiselessly along and yet
what wonders he accomplishes He
rises gradually, we grant, but surely.

set them. The first is the drinking oil
liquor, the second is speculation, and

but of their elders as well. In fact,
they beset the latter quite as much as
