ing from single bird is $35, and as it
is plucked three times in two years tbs
annual product in plumes is about $50
for each bird. The life of an ostrich is
commonly thirty years, although eighty
years has been claimed for individual
cases. They are sold at from $50, the
price of chick, to $500 for a three
year.old bird. A breeding pair is valued
at $1,000. The finest cock here was
raised on the ranch from the egg, al
though some of the imported Africans
are splendid specimens. Thus there Is
now California breed OF ostriches.
Some of these fellows break through
the fences and give their keepers long
stern chase. If pair should one day
make an efectual escape and breed out OF
captivity ostrich hunting might become
one of the sports of California, like the
shooting of wild boars in the Santa Rosa
Mountains only twenty miles away.

Pos,es,ed tho Art of Coddling.

1t is not true that women do not
realize and appreciate the attractive
qualities that other womsn have for
men. Occasionally, however, they do
not. There Is woman now Of wide
reputation before whom men fall IN
swaths. Her conquests have been
signal, conclusive. The secret OF this
woman's charm other women have IN
vain tried to discover. A man who
has himself been prostrate before this
all-conquering lady was asked wherein
lay this lady's power. His brief an
swer was, "Coddling." This he went
on to explain. IF man has weak
ness, a secret grievance, her trst step
is to discover it. He is lei to talk
about it, and, alas, it is usually re-
lief to do so. This she humors as a
mother does a sick child. 1t may be
heart affair, a financial matter,
dyspepsia, or rheumatism. What 1t
is is imnaerial. When you see their
two heads bowed together you per-
haps think that they are whispering
tender nothings. Not at all. He
may be only telling her about a last
nights toothache, and the tears are
standing in her brown eyes as she list
ems to his tale Of woe. No man is
able to withstand this all-penetrating
sympathy. OF course, in time, he is
apt to learn that it Is kept on tap for
the beguilement Of all who come that
way."-NeW York Sun.

WHAT IS IT 10 BE A CHRISTIAN?

Christian and Christ-like man. We count
Christians by hundreds of millions, but the
Christ-like people are reckoned only by mil
liens. He who accepts Christ as "God mani.
tested in the flesh :" His teachings as divine
revelations to mankind; His ordinances OF
religion as the hottest obligations; His con-
ditions of repeutance, faith, conversion as
essential to eternal life; His claims on the
love of the SOUL the purity of the Life and on
charity for man and devotion for God, Is a

This is the honorable difference between
the believer in the Lord and the Jew, the
infidel and the pagan. Such are historical
and doctrinal Christians, and the world is
full of them. Let us believe that many

IN philanthropy. This immense power seen
in governments, in systems OF education,
and in social reforms. All hail to power

Spices.

Considerable confusion exists in tho
minds of many people as to the nature of
spices. Most of these possess slightly
stimulating effect and are actual aids to
digestion. Of the common spices nut
meg is probably the most used. 1t is a
native of the Molucca or Spice Islands
and, grows directly under the equator.
Mace is the inner coat that lines the hull
of the nutmeg. The nutmeg in its coat
of mace, with the outer hull surrounding
it, is often displayed as a curiosity in
New York spice shops. There are two
kinds of nutmegs, the long, slender
shape, which is the wild, and the round,
which is the cultivated nut. The latter
is more oily and much better than the
wild nutmeg. By scraping the side of a
nutmeg with the finger and noticing
whether the oil flows, one can guard
against the worst fraud in this spice
the 'ssoaked nutmeg" Large quantities
of nutmeg and other spices which are
brought to market are soaked in water
to relieve them of their oil. These are
afterward sold, of course, at low price,
but they have lost their efficacy as spice
in losing their oil. and are little better
than the celebrated wooden nutmegs.
Always begin grating at the flower end
Of the nutmeg, instead of the stem.
The Glove grows all over the tropical
world and the Glove OF commerce Is the
unexpanded flower bud of the tree, and
is the most fragrant of any part Of it.
Cinnamon spice is the inner bark OF. the
cinnamon tree. 1t grows in China and
Ceylon, and is cultivated in the West
Indies and South America. A great deal
of the heavier outer bark and OF the
coarse bark of the cassia tree is sold as
cinnamon. The best cinnamon is hardly
thicker than paper aud is of rather light
color. Allspice, unlike all other spices,
is berry. 1t is gathered while it is
still green and dried in the sun. Jamaica
allspice is among the best. 1t is OF a
mild flavor, and is not very much used
in the cookery of to-day. The flower
buds of the cassia tree are imported in
considerable quantity annually, and are
used chiefly in cooking for favoring
sweet pickles, to which they impart a
delicate yet pleasant and distinctive
flavor, different from cinnamon. Ginger,
as everyone knows, is root which grows
all over the tropical world, in Asia,
Africa and America. White ginger is
composed of the best parts of the root,
from which the outer skin has been taken
off. The ground ginger of commerce is
largely adulterated with tumerc. flour
and various cheaper materials.
