Means of Defence Against Ostriches.

When the birds are savage, or quei,
as the Dutch call it, they become very
aggressive, and it is impossible to
walk about the camps unless armed
with weapon of defense called
tackey. This is long and stout
branch of mmosa, with the thorns all
left at the end at seems but fee

one stroke of his immensely powerful
leg, can easily kill a man; the kick,
no less violent than that of a horse,

which the foot is armed" Those,
however, who are well practiced in
the use of the .tackey. have NO Aificulty
in dealing with the most furious bird.
They thrust the thorns in his face, and
he shuts his eyes and is bewildered,
and the man goes on. Fortunately,
one is never assailed by more than one
ostrich at time; for, in the large
camps, each one has his own domain,
separated from those of the others
by some imaginary boundary-line
of his own, within which he de-
fends his claims with vigor Any
other ostrich daring to invade his ter
ritory is at once attacked, and the hu-
man intruder is carefully looked out
for till lie is seen safely away. Imme-

have now entered, and whose sharp

"Oh, come to Nan! Oh, mamma!
Come" Aud then wordless screams
of childish fear and agony. No
mother could long endure them,
and In answer to her frenzied appeals,
two meu forced the door. The first
Object that greet them was old Jona-

of the hall chairs. IIurrying on,
guided by Mans cries, they opened the
door of the room where Mr.. Carpen.
ter spent most of his life. The mas
ter of the house lay on the floor, sense
less, bleeding, and, knce.ing by him,
Nan was screaming with terror.
Gentle hands lifted him; doctor
was hastily summoned, and life came
back, very faint and fluttering. But
there was a smile for Nan as the in
jured mans eyes rested upon her.
She had clung 10 him so desperately
that no one had the heart 10 force her
away, and it was Mrs. Carroll who
deftly assisted the doctor, as he
bandaged and patched up the sorcly
wounded man.
Investigation proved that Mr. Car
penter had been robbed of large sum
of money drawn from the bank the
day before, and it was in vain en-
deavor TO fight three men at once that
he was stabbed and fellcd by blow
upon the head.
Many long weeks he lay upon his
bed, and Nan percled herself beside
him. Mrs. Carroll had TO take her
away TO her meals and bed, and when
she came for her how could she come
cmpty-handed? jonathan never could
make such jelljes and broths as the
widow brought and with which Nan
fed the invalid And if another little
hand steadied the grasp of the spoon,
there was no word of objection spo-
ken. If little feminine comforts crcpt
in to take the place Of Jonathan's we'll
meant but clumsy devices, who could
blame the womanly pity that suggest
cd them?

fatal. and 10 one in Snowvile was

trations to a dying man. But for
once medical judgment W at fault.
June roses were blooming when the
calls were reversed, and Mr.. Carren-
Ter began to visit Mrs. Carroll, though
Nan still crcpt through the round VIM
dow.
There was a wedding in October,
eyes being true eyes this time, and
love VOWS made in heartfelt serenity.
But Mrs. Carpenter laughingly de-

stone Forests.

Stone forests are found in various
parts of the world. In many cases
they are hardened by some peculiarly
of the atmosphere, and arc found
standing just as they were when
clothed with green foliage, thousands
of years ago. The Little Colorado
River in Ariz na has long been fa-
nous as a locality for such finds; at
one place more than 1900 cords of
solid stone tree trunks. sections,
limbs and logs were found by the gov
ernmcnt surveyors. Most of them
were silicified; many to 10 feet in
diameter and from 20 TO so feet in
height. Geologists say that the pctri-
fled trees of the Little Colorado were
once covered with mari over 1000 feet
in depth. Some of the trees have been
changed to jasper, and have assumed
various hues; others resemble opal,
and, when broken open, the core is
often found lined with crystals of the
most beautiful tints Louisiana and
Ohio are also noted localities for pct
rilied trees. In the former state, sew
cral years ago, in turning up the
ground, an ancient forest was un-
carthed, and, in succession, two others
below the first Scientists, judging
from the state of the trees, say that at
least 10000 years elapsed between the
growth of the first and the last forest.
In some parts of the island of Antigua,
ono of the British leeward group,
there are some remarkable examples
of stone forests. In Van Dicman's
Land similar forests are known TO cx-
ist. Some of these are cnly partly
siliciticd, while others arc changed TO
