A RUNAWAY.

Two trotters, small and restless, cantered off
one summer day,
And with them, all unwlttingly, they took the
baby May;
DER meads and meadows fresh and green,
with morning dews yet damp,
They galloped far away from town, these
ponies Trot and Tramp.
AS on they sped new sights and sounds did all
their thoughts beguile,
Till weary quite, said Trot to Tramp "Let's
stop and rest while'
And dropping down on velvet sward they in
their harness lay,
Nor ever gave thought to Ter whom they
had borne away
But baby May was well content, and midst the
grasses sat
And gathered starry daisies white, with
dlmpled fingers fat
And eurls of dandelion stems she in her tresses
hung,
And to the winds the golden wealth of bios
SONS galy flung.
Refreshed and rested, Trot and Tramp once
more went on their way,
And with them, still bedeeked with flowers,
was merry baby May;
With spirits high, they galloped on by rill and
running brook,
And in and out, by crooked paths, their wind
ing way they took.
Butere the noontde hour had come, said Trot,
in doleful mood,
81 would | could but lay me down, tits naught
care for food"
Said Tramp to Trot ain all my life I've neer
so weary been;
Perhaps to do as we have done Is something
of a snp
Meanwhile reigned fear and anxious thought
DER loss of baby May,
For none could guess the manner strange in
which she went away,
Nor ever dreamed that ponies small, like tiny
Tramp and Trot,
Could bear away little girl to such far-off
spot,
But while the sun was yet on high, unframed
in wooded glade,
Was found asleep by messy log, dainty little
maid,
And dangling from her shapely head, with
HAIR of golden sheen,
Were daisies white, and wilted curs of dande.
lion green,
And with no room at all to spare (the oldest
place to choose)
Were Trot and Tramp, all safe and sound,
within the maiden's shoes.

Habits or ostrichcs.

There are certain old traditions about
the ostrich which | am told by the
owner of the California ranch, are fall
lacious. says the ST. Nicholas. He says
that the ostrich does not bury his head
in the sand and imagine that he Is un-
observed by his enemies. On theron
trary, he Is very pugnacious bird and
always ready for tight. Nor does
the female ostrich lay her eggs In the
sand for the sun 10 hatch them.
To do them justice they are quite do

Nor is tho ostrich ever used to riding,
as he has an exceptionally weak back;
any person might break Il with blow
from an ordinary cane. His strength
lies in his great breast and his feet.

one. and with a terrible precision he
can bring down the large paw with
cruel force that will tear open any
thing not made of sheet-iron.
Savage birds at best, they are dan

The twenty-five birds brought to our
California ranch trusted 10 their In

California winter. which correspondent

The ostrich makes its nest by rolling
in the sand and scooping out hole

Feminine Dress in Japan.

Having been soaped and dried the
Japanese girl takes a long strip of cot
ton or silk. according to her taste or
condition. the strip being about eight
cen inches wide and three yards long.
Holding the upper corner OF one end
OF the cloth just over the left hip she
winds the strip tightly around the loins
and hips. fastening IL by tucking the
end corner in the belt so made. says
the San Francisco Chronicle. This
might bee called the japanese corset.
except that instead Of COMPRISING the
waist, ii squcezcs the lower abdominal
portions and upper hip. When proper

bandage. and Il Is this which gives that
peculiar little shuttle and swing to the
original Yum-Yum's walk. the legs be-

down. Most writers have ascribed this
waddle 10 the wearing Of high wooden
clogs. but this Is mistake. The men
