storks Are Queer Creatures.

The owner of house near Berlin
found a single egg in the nest of a pair
of storks, built on the chimney, and SUBJ
stituted for it a goose's egg, which in
due time was Matched, and produced a
gosling instead of the expected storkling.
The male bird was thrown into the great
est excitement by this event, and finally
flew away. The female, however, re-
mained on the nest and continued to care
for the changeling as though it were her
own offspring. On the morning Of the
fourth day the male reappeared accom-
panied by nearly 500 storks, which held
a mass meeting in an adjacent field.
The assembly, we are informed, was ad-
dressed by several speakers, each orator
posting himself on the same spot before
beginning his harangue. These delibera-
items and discussions occupied nearly
the entire forenoon, when suddenly the
meeting broke up, and all the storks
pounced upon the unfortunate female
and her supposititious young one, killed
them both, and, after destroying the
polluted nest, took wing and departed
and were never seen there again.-At-

A Barber and Poet.

Jasmin, the Gascon poet, who was also
barber, had many strange adventure
arising from the incongruity of his two
professions.
At one time, when he was visiting the
mayor of French town, and had prom
ised to give an informal recitation to the
townspeople, the hour arrived and his
host did not appear. Several important
personages assembled to accompany
them to the hall, but the mayor re-
manned invisible, busted with his toilet.
Finally, fearing the impatience of his
guests, he opened the door of his cham
Der to apologize, and showed his face
covered with lather.
"Just a moment" said he; 81 am fin
ishing my shaving"
"Oh," said Jasmin, "let me help you!"
He at once doffed his coat, gave fin
ishing touch to the razor and shaved the
mayor in twinkling, with what he
called his ''hand of velvet" In few
minutes he was in the hall receiving tu-
multuous applause for his splendid reci-
tations. ns.-Youth's Companion.

Mr.. Tufts Burro Trail to Be Con-
structed.
The board of park commissioners met
last evening in the anteroom of the
mayors Office, all members being pres
ent. Mayor Hazard also sat with the
board.
The bids for building road through
Elysian park were opened, and that Of
D. F. Donegan, $1,000. was found to be
$50 lower than that of the next bidder.
The contract for the work was therefore
awarded to Mr.. Donegan.
The road to be built will extend from
the intersection of Alvarado street and
the Pasadena boulevard through the
park by winding course to the Buena
Vista street bridge. 1t will be sixteen
feet wide, and will at no place have
greater grade than that of Broadway
from First street to Temple.
The contractor declares that the road
will be in frst-class condition in thirty
days. He will have gang of men with
teams at work this morning. Thus the
noble boulevard plan has begun to be
realized, and what Councilman Tufts
was pleased to term "burro-traiP' will
be opened in month. 1t is said that
the dedication of the new road will be
celebrated by procession of carriages,
to be headed by decorated burro
loaded with Pommery ct Greno.

A Game This After

Thirteen to i've was the score in yes
terday's game, with the Angels at the
short end. The glitter and style Of the
Colonels knocked all the ball playing
out of.the Los Angeles infield. It was
a great day for the colonel. He arrived
late, and in fact his baseball stars had
the game won before he put in an ap-
pearance at the grounds. The Oaklands
would probably win more games if the
colonel stayed up town instead of allow
ing the beauty Of Los Angeles to admire
and gaze upon his symmetrical form on
the players bench. The colonel when
he did arrive had violent attack. The
knowledge that his men had rolled up
seven runs in one inning was the great
est surprise, and it was some time be-
fore he could be made to believe that
the score on the board was correct.
Yesterday was ladies' day, and, as
usual, the Los Angeles club lost. 1t
looks as if the Los Angeles club cannot
win when the ladies of Los Angeles turn
out in force.
Hulen and Rogers both fixed them
selves up to kill, but the galaxy of beauty
much that they became 80 embarrassed
large as marble. There was one bright
spot about the Los Angeles team
yesterday. That was Tredway's
magnificent work in the left
: field. He made two fine catches, the
last one winning for him an abundance
of applause. 1t was running catch,
Tredway just grabbing the sphere before
it reached the ground. The Los Angeles
infield had an off day, Hulen never
playing such poor game since his ad-
vent in Los Angeles. Hasamaear and
Glenalvin were both out of their ele-
ment, while Rogers never threw so wild.
Los Angeles made eleven hits to the
visitors ten, yet they were defeated by
a score of 13 to 5, owing to the errors
piled up by the local team at points
where errors counted.
The Oaklands played very much better
than in the opening game. German
was in the box for the Colonels. He
was trife unsteady at the start, but
when his side piled up the runs, he be-
gan to pitch the ball that he is capable
of. He has good curves and in month
from now will be pitching winning bali
for the Colonels.
The Oaklands started the ball rolling
in the first. Carroll made home run
with man on base, thus making two
runs. It was another smash over the
rightfeld fence, but it was the best hit
thus far made over the fence. In the
second the visitors piled up seven runs
on two hits and the game was all over
but the shouting, although many
thought that Los Angeles would pull the
game out of the fire. The score must
tell the balance of the downfall of the
Angels:

A Regimental Goat.

The royal regiment of Welsh fusiliers
has the privilege of passing in review,
preceded by goat with gilded horns
and adorned with flowers. Every March
/, on st. David's day, after the banquet,
his goatship is led thrice round the table
by boy. In 1874 the then regimental
goat died, and to compensate the
twenty third for their loss her majesty
presented the regiment with two Of the
finest goats from hock-the gift of the
shah Of Persian Windsor park, and
since that date the queen has continued
to supply the royal Welsh fusiliers with
goats as occasion has required.

A Warming ais to Flower Beds.

Against one thing let me warn the
reader, and that is the indiscriminate
use of formal foliage or flower beds on
most lawns. They are apt to lend gar
ish and vulgar air to the place. Close
to the house you may sometimes use one
or two of these beds, but their bright
red and yellow colors should be set a
little ON one side and not allowed to
glare at one too much. I respect the
universal delight in rich COLOR, but all
formal patches of color should be used
carefully and in proper relations to the
whole picture. Samuel Parsons, Jr., in

door which led into the gambling

1t happens that just during the
breeding time the ostriches have the
most beautiful plumage, which suf-
fers greatly from the Matching process
and squatting In the sand and dust.
At. the time when ostriches became
priced very highly and artificial incu-
bators were proportionately rare the
surplus ostrich eggs were Matched by
Hottentot women in large feather
beds, an occupation which was much
to the liking of these danes, so prone
to "dolce far niente" Of such pro-
longed period.
The raising Of the young ostriches
requires great care and patience and
a large percentage OF them die an
nually from diseases and other acct
dents. The ostrich is full grown
when years of age. 1t is then that
the male bird has the most beautiful
plumage OF a black, satiny sheen.
The female birds feathers are light
gray. The most valuable plumes
hang in delicate fringe all around
the body Of the bird. When the bird
is Q months old its feathers are
plucked for the first time. At that
time they are still stiff and narrow,
with pointed tips, and do not give
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1892-01-21

export OF ostrich feathers amounts TO
So, 900, 900 per annum. Hunting the
birds has ceased entirely, for they
threatened to become extinct in some
localities, and a rational breeding is
by far the most remunerative pro-
ceeding, The value of the feathers
varies with their quality. During
the second year of his existence a
male bird furnished $3.50, 900 worth
of first-quality plumes and about
$3.50, 900 worth of second grade.
An ostrich farm yields from 30 to so
per cent. on its original investment,
and in prosperous times as high as
100 per cent, says the st. Louis
Globe Democrat. The rational breed
ing of the ostrich is of vast impor-
lance to Cape Colony. Years ago
birds were exported to Australia with
such favorable result that the gov
eminent OF the Cape imposed tax
of $500 per bird and S25 for every
unmatched egg for expectation tariff,
in order 10 protect its own industry.
This killed the export entirely.
In the year 1875 the number Of
tame ostriches in the Cape reached
the astounding sum OF $4,000, al
though the breeding of ostriches was
not commenced until 1863. To-day
that number has more than doubled
itself, for in the meantime the incu-
bators have been largely improved.
During the laying season, which
comes with the end of the rainy period,
the ostrich hen lays one egg every
other day until she has deposited
from fifteen to twenty eggs in. the
sand-pile nest, quantity just large
enough to cover the same with her
body when Matching. BY gradually
taking away one egg after another, as
we do with our hens, the big bird can
be induced to lay on an average thirty
eggs, and in exceptional cases even
sixty eggs have been accumulated.
These surplus eggs are artificially
batched i'm large incubators, but the
eggs must be turned every day. In
from eight to ten days the first signs
of life are noticeable. Shortly before
the young bird is ready to break the
shell of his prison, which is between
the forty-ffth and fiftieth days, a
squeaking noise is heard within and
a constant peclSing against the shell,
which is as hard as rock. In lit
tie while he succeeds in punching a
triangular hole through the shell,
which the little inmate tries hard to
enlarge, in order to become entirely
liberated. If he is not very strong
he must be helped in his attempt to
escape. The artificial hatchings are
always preferred to the natural ones.

MILES sTANDISH'S GRAVE.
1t Is Said 20 BE Located In n Duxbur
Churchyard.


Churchyard.
Nathaniel Morton, secretary Of
Plymouth Colony, is authority for the
statement that Standish was buried
in Duxbury, which accords with
Standish's will, in which he asked to
be buried near his daughter and
daughter-in-law 'if he died in Dux-
burrow."
Traditions of half dozen families
of the town, handed down from sire
to son, locate the grave in the old
churchyard between Halls and Bay
ley's Corners, and this graveyard, in
one corner of which stood the first
church in Duxbury, is the only one
mentioned in the early records.
These traditions were to the effect,
Furthermore, that two triangular
stones marked the spot where Stand
ish was buried.
In 1889 stones answering their de-
scription were brought to light, and
in April, 1891, duly authorized per-
sons opened the supposed graves Of
the Standish family and examined
the remains found therein.
Two Of the skeletons were those of
young women, two were boys, and one
was that of man, corresponding
with the generally accepted physique
of Standish, indicating very unusual
strength and evidently that of per-
son well along in years
From all the facts known the
speaker, who was one Of those pres
ent at the elimination, deduced the
inference that these were the graves
OF Standish, his two daughters. e.,
his daughter and daughter-in-law--
and two sons named Charles and
John, who died young.
The remains, said Mr.. Hinginn,
were carefully placed in new baskets
and reburied in the old graveyard
Boston Globe.
