''When the sc'son for plucSing arrives
my birds arc driven into narrow pen,
where they are SO tightly crowded as
not to be able to move, while the

watched so as to get them at their best.
Most perfect, and, therefore, most costly,
of all ostrich feathers are those brought
from Aleppo AID obtained from the
birds OF the Sylian Desert. They are
very rare. Next in order of quality
come those from Tripoli, from Senegal,
from Egypt, fpm Morocco and from
South Africa. The difference betweena
wild aud tame feather is immediately
perceptible to connosseur. While the
tame feather is much stiiTer. it has not

freaks is dancing. l have seen as many
as twenty nearly full-grown birds waltz
ing together. They begin with a sort
of siding revolution on their toes at
slow rate of speed, moving their wings
gently up and down. Presently they
seem to get into the spirit of the thing
and spin around at rate that would
astonish dancing dervsh. In the per-
formancc OF the exercise they sweep
round and round without ever coming

the egg and shake it violently until the
young bird dropped out, when he would
swallow the membrane and repeat the
operation upon another egg. There is
nothing short of steam power that can
approach the speed of an ostrich. The
length Of its stride has been proved to DO
from twenty-five to twenty eight feet,
and its rate of speed is estimated at
twcnty-six miles an hour, when doing its
