Ostriches In California.

The first pair of ostriches ever brought to this country for breeding purposes was landed at New Or cans in 1884 Others followed, and an ostrich farm was started as an experiment. in Lousian, but the climate proving uncongenial to tho birds the stock was removed to southern California. Here several ey- periments were tried. and 1t was found that the climate of San Diego County was the best adapted to the raising of ostriches. Hero the industry has flourished to such an extent that real estate agents now Include ostrich eggs in telling of the various "fruits" favored by the wonderful climate of San Diego County.
 There are now in all about 125 birds in Southern Californ a, yielding an an nual crop of feathers to the value of $1o, coo or more. Quite & demand has sprung up for mat ve" ostrich feath rs The secret societies of tho Pacific coast, snch as the Native Sons of the Golden State, the higher orders of the Mason c and Odd Fellows organizations, and other societies, pride themselves on wearing native" ostrich piumes. Fans and other articles of ornamental on. made from native ostrich tips, are quite fad among the ladies of the Four Hundred of the Golden State. Nor is the demand limited to the ladies Of the Pacific coast, for MrS Vanderbilt set the fad in New York by order, ng cloa made from California ostrich feathers
 The 125 ostriches in California may not be looked upon as constituting an industry of national importance; but they are not overlooked by the tariff makers There is duty of 10 per cent on crude ostrich feathers, and SC per cent on feathers manufactured wholly or partly.

ETHIOPIANS MADE WHITE.
Doctors Say This can Re Done Through
 the Trans planting of Skin.

Doctors Say This Re Done Through
 the Trans planting of Skin.
 Provided a victim could be found for the skinning operation, surgical skill is equal to the feat of turning Q negro's skin permanently white. The ques- tion of the transposition of color in the cuticle of the two races has been given peculiar interest by an experiment in the grating of the skin of a negro upon white man. performed by Dr. Ego of Reading, Pa
 The experiment of Dr. Ego was made for the purpose of healing . wound on the leg of white man. and if it succeeded in this it was all that was expected of it. Not only did it do this, but as the wound began to heal Dr. Ege was surprised to notice tho thirty particles of black skin trans- planted were gradually losing their color, and by tho time the wound had entirely healed the new surface was as white as if the cuticle belonged by nature to the spot to which it was transplanted. This result was sur- prising 10 the doctor. because medical
 
 ed skin wherever transplanted would retain it's color. It seems probable now. therefore that some of the theory of skin grating may undergo change, and that in the future one may be enabled to change one's skin as easily as the Parisian belle the color of her hair.
 A physician in seriously discussing the matter. said that the original cause of the difference in the color of the skins of different races is still a matter of some dispute. Some author ities on the subject maintain that it is attributable solely to climate In con- tradiction to this. however. other authorities prove that the dark color of the skin does not depend on gee graphical position. nor even altogether on radical purity, by the fact that the extremes of the chromatic scales arc found throughout the whole negro domain

HOW TO BATHE.
Be Clean and In All Likelihood Yoa wili
 be Healthy.

The first and common object of tho bath is cleanliness. Tho great import ance of abstersion. and the necessity of keeping the skin clean and in it's normal activity will be more fully appreciated when ve consider tho importance of tho function which the skin has to perform. One-third of all the morbid matter in tho system aris- ing from tissue change is thrown on through the skin. the other two-thirds being excrcted by the kidneys and lungs.
 Tho excrction through tho skin Is accomplished by the action of about 2,500, 900 of little sweat glands. Each of these glands is surrounded by plexus of blood vessels. and has duct extending to the surface. tho average length of which Is one-fourth of an inch. The aggregate length of thesc ducts as computed Is about ton miles. Think of it. A system Of human sewerage ten miles in extent, The dcleterious effect upon tho organishn caused by stoppage of this great system of drainage will be perceived at n glance. The effete matters of tho body, which in state Of health arc excretcd by tho skin nature now en- deavors to get rid Of through tho kidneys and lungs.
 The effect on these organs of tho great increase of functional activity necessary to maintain tho harmony be- tween tissue waste and tissue repair results in their disease. and ths entire system becomes deranged from tho poisonous effects of this accumulated matter. Then. too. in hcalth rcspira- ton is carried on. in measure. through tho skin by tho absorption of oxygen and the giving of of carbonic acid. thus aiding tho lungs in their interchange of gases; in this manner n direct effect is produced upon these organs by n checking of the normal activity of the skin.

 Rinmarck on MCk kinleYism.

Somebody started the report, about tho time when Congress adjourned. that Me Kinley was going to Europe this summer; and it was even stated that visit to Bismarck was to be part of his plan. It was evidently supposed that the two great tariff makers of Amerjca and Ger many would find bond of sympathy between them which would make such a visit highly agreeable to both, especial Y as the two are now retired to the rural shades of private life.
 But whether Mckinley would now enjoy a visit to Bismarck is very doubt ful, as the latter has been express ing his opinions very freely con- corning McKinleyism To q cores pondent of the New York World Bismarck said the other day: q think that in passing the Mckinley bill the Republicans made mistake, poitlcaliy ' as well as economically. which can never be repaired. The excesses which they have committed must result in favor of tho Democrats. l myself ara protee- tonist. My opinion has always been that national lator must be protected The adversaries of protection think that protection can only be for those who are not producers, but merely consumers
 "n passing the Mckinley bill the in- dustrlai protectionists have gone too far. They went so far beyond the mark as to affect agricultural interests strongly and force them over to the opposite si le. Such excesses affect tho national con sumers far more than the foreign i'm porters 1t is the task of tha state to soc that consumers obtain their right The Mckinley bill has hit some indus trial branches of foreign nations hard, but on the whole it has not done so much injury as was at first feared.s
