The inhabitants of the Canary islands,
the Guanches, were, it is supposed, but
the mountain shepherds of submerged
world. Though SO strong physically, the
Guanches were, nevertheless, very
gentle race; they rarely made war on
one another, and when the Europeans
fell into their hands they did not kill
them, but sent them to tend sheep in
the mountains. So tame were the birds
in this happy land, that when the Span
iards first landed they came and fed out
of their hands.
To kill an animal degraded man; the
butcher was a reprieved criminal and
outcast, and lived apart, he and his as
sistants being supported by the state
No woman was allowed to approach the
shambles, and in such horror was killing
held by these giants that no man could
be ennobled until he had publicly de-
clared that he had not been guilty of
killing any animal, not even goat.
Their standard of morality was high;
robbery was almost unknown among
them.-St. Louis Star Sayings.

neck as If bent on tying it in a knot
Finally he dashed wildly from the house,
and the last seen of him was little cloud
of white dust vanishing on the horizon.
He returned sadder and wiser bird,
and it was long before he would venture
again inside the kitchen.
When about year old Jackie was sold
to farmer that had long coveted him.
No doubt he soon repented of his pur
chase. The bird was now now strong
enough to give good hard hck-that is
the way ostriches fght-and being
more daring freebooter than ever, and
no respecter of persons, he would march
up and attack any one he saw carrying
what he thought might be food, endeav-
oring, by well aimed blow, to strike it
out of their hands; and he was gener-
ally successful.
At last his master, tired of hearing
complaints about his conduct, and impa-
tient of his perpetual intrusion indoors,
tried putting him into camp inclosed
by wire fence. There, however, he
obstinately refused to remain. AS soon
as he was put in he would squat down,
laying his head and neck on the ground ;
then, making himself as fiat as possible,
he would squirm out under the lowest
wire of the fence.
But Jackie soon ceased from troubling.
His end, as may be imagined, was
brought about by no other cause than his
own moral obliquity. One day he wan
dered' down to the river where some Kaf-
fir women were washing clothes, their
children, group of little animated nude
bronzes, playing near them. One little
fellow, who was eating, was of course
instantly spied out by the greedy and
coyetous Jackie. The marauder, how
ever, this time paid the penalty of his
lawlessness, for in rushing to kick the
little darky and thus capture the food,
he fell down the rocky bank of the river
and broke his leg. Then Jackie, like all
other broken legged ostriches, had to be
killed.-Philadelph Times.

Edison and His yi.itor..


About Orange you can hear number
less stories of Edison. Everybody likes
him. One man, who had for years been
in his employ as an experimentalist, told
of a visit number of men-Jay Gould,
Sidney Dillon, Cyrus Field and others
paid to Edison at the laboratory one
day. Edison came out of his workroom,
where he was busy, and shook hands
with Mr.. Field. At that instant some
thing popped into his head apropos of
the experiment he was at work on. He
never gives an idea time to escape him.
Without a word of excuse to the mag
mates, he turned on his heel and hurried
into his den again. They waited and
waited, and by and by, tired out with
delay, wended their way down stairs.
Shortly afterward Edison came out and
asked:

Pet That Generally Makes Itself .
Terrible Nuisance to Everybody.
When, as sometimes happens, a soli-
tary ostrich chick is reared at the house
it becomes inconveniently tame. We
had one called Jackie, and 1t was often
terrible nuisance. All the little darkies
about the place had lively dread of
him. AS they sat on the ground at
meals with plates of boiled pumpkin
and rice in their laps Jackie would come
up and, stretching his snakelike neck
over their heads or under their arms,
would eoolly help himself to the con-
tents of one plate after another. Occa-
sionally he would make for the unhappy
youngsters in SO menacing a manner as
to frighten them into dropping their
plates altogether; then, while his vic
Tins ran away crying, he would squat
on his heels and regale his enormous ap-
petite at leisure.
But one day retri came. Being
free to run into the kitchen-simply be-
cause no one could keep him out-he was
not long in observing that the pumpkin
and rice always came from one particu-
lar pot. and the idea suddenly occurring
to him that he could do no better than
to go straight to the fountain head for
his favorite dish. he walked up, full of
joyful anticipation, to the fire where
this pot was boiling. The ceok-who,
being mother to several of the illused
children. did not love Jackie-offered
no friendly interference to save him
from his fate, and plunging his bill into
the pot, he greedily scooped up, and
with the ightninglike rapidity of os.
triches, tossed down his throat big
mouthful of the boiling rice.
Then there was what boys would call a
.scircus." Jackie began dancing around
the kitchen, writhing with agony, shak-
ing his head nearly off and twisting his

American naval officers are men of

of dress aboard ship is appalling to a

TRIUMPH OF. THE ALTO.

She Knew the Soprano Would Have to
Get a Screen to Keep the Flies Out.
From all envy, hatred and malice,
good Lord, deliver u.s." slowly continued
the minister.
"Good Lord. deliver as" echoed the
congregation.
It was a day of triumph for the So
prano of the choir.
All the city folks who were passing
the summer in cool Berryville were in
the congregation, and the alto, her
deadly enemy, had such cold that she
could not sing note.
So she scared aloft in highest notes of
gladstone praise, while the unfortunte
alto sat upon the back bench in the
choir loft, consumed wi1kl envy that even
her dampest tears could not quench.
s'Glory be for evermorer' droned the
bass with gusto.
t'Glory be for evermore!" shrilled the
tenor with fervor.
Then the soprano took it up, took up
the glad strain, 'tGlory be forever
morer' Took it up and held it fondly;
took it up and played with it among the
lower notes. Snatched it again from the
deeps and ran up the vocal scale with it
in her teeth, throwing it out above the
heads of the enraptured congregation
and catching it again before it could
strike bottom, as she swept up the scale
and over the measures in triumphant
JOY. 1t was a day of triumph for her
indeed
Again she took up the fervid cry,
'tGlory be forevermoreI'' Striking the
lowest note in her compass, she glorious
ly rolled up the chromatic scale with the
paean of victory-up-up-up her
swaying head far back, her straining
eyes half closed, her mouth round and
open with the full crescendo of the
pouring food of melody. Up-up-up-

in unison and the souls of the listeners
lost themselves in ecstasy. Up-up-

thin, reedy wheeze, a horrible, eye
staring gurgle-she turned black in the
face and fell backward into the choir
chairs behind the green curtains in front
of the loft.
The minister glared wildly from his
place, hanging over the pulpit's edge.
The entire congregation rose as one
man to leap upon the pew seats and
strain into the unknown horror with
bursting eyes.
The Press representative dashed out
the side door on dead run for the tele-
graph Office to wire in the death of a
choir singer from a bursted blood vessel
When from the deathly stiffness which
hung over the fatal loft came kissing
whisper that stung the farthest ear dis
tinctly.
"Ah-h-! Swallowed it, did she? In

open her mouth like that in the summer
time she'd have to get a screen door to
keep the flies out! Why don't some one
chunk her in the back once or twice?"

LONDON, Dec. 14.--In August last the
Marquis Of Ailsbufy applied to Justice
Stirling, of the lord chancellors court,
Tor application to sell his estate, Saver
make forest. He gaveas his reason for
desiring to sell the property that he
wanted the money which the estate
would sell for the purpose of paying his
debts. 1t is said that the marquis owes
$3.50, 900, the price asked for the property,
and this sum Lord Iveagh agreed to pay
if the court would authorize the sale.
The application was opposed by the
other heirs on the ground that usurers
would alone reap any benefit from the
sale. Judge Stirling declined to grant
the required permission.
From this decision the marquis APP
pealed, and the case was carried to the
court of appeal This court has just
handed down an opinion overriding the
decision of the Lord Chancellor's court
and Sanctioning the sale of Savernake

England Must Keep Ont.
Bioodshed in Colorado.

DENVER, Dec 14.-About two weeks
ago 500 Austrian and Italian miners,
employed at the Colorado coal and iron
mines, at Crested Butte, went out ON
strike because Of a proposed reduction
in wages. Since the men went out they
have been very ugly. Sheriff Shares, Of
Gunnison, arrived there with posse OF
twenty-five men to take possession and
guard the mines. No sooner had the
sheriff and his men .alighted from the
train they were attacked by about 200
armed Siciiians and Austrians, who be-
gan firing with their Winchesters. The
officer held his men for a moment and
then ordered them to return the fire,
which they did with deadly effect, kill
ing six Italians. The governor has
called out the state militia.
