,TRANeE WAYS OF THE OSTRICH.

rhe Hens of the Flock Lay in the Same
Nest and the Male Matches the Eggs.
The ostrich has many strange ways,
and I was particularly interested IN
studying them. They go in fiocks OF
three or four females and one male
about their nesting time, and for sew
eral weeks before locating their nests
the hens drop their eggs all about the
pampas. These are called haucho (pro"
nounced "watcho'') eggs, and are much
more delicate in flavor than the eggs
taken from the nests. They have
thinner shell and when fresh laid are
of a beautiful golden color. We cooked
them by roasting them before the fire.
We would first break hole in the small
end Of the egg large enough to insert a
teaspoon.
The egg would be set up among some
hot ashes, pinch of salt and pepper put
into it, and the contents kept stirred
with stick, SO that all would be done
alike. The flavor is excellent, and one
egg would satisfy very hungry man.
AS soon as the ostriches decide upon
suitable place for nest the male bird
scratches away the grass and slightly
hollows the ground for space OF about
| two feet in diameter. All the hens OF
the flock lay in the same nest until there
are from twenty-five to thirty-five eggs
laid. The male bird then takes posses
sion and sits on the eggs until they are
Matched. AS soon as the brood can
leave the nest the old fellow leads them
away to feed on flies and small insects,
and everything is lovely until he espies
another male bird with brood.
| AS soon as the old birds see each other
| they make a peculiar booming sound
and every little ostrich disappears in the
grass. The old ones then approach each
other and engage in most deadly con-
flict. They fight until one or the other
is killed or runs away. The remaining
| one will then utter another peculiar
sound and both broods will spring up
from their hiding places and follow the
victor, who struts off as proud as q pea
cock. / have seen old male ostriches
with three broods, each Of different
4 size, two of which they had captured.
They become very tame in captivity,
but are perfect nuisance about place,
as you cannot keep them out Of the
buildings and they will gobble up any
thing they can swallow. One of them
cleaned out workhasket one day, swal-
lowing spools of cotton, emery bag and
thimble, ending his repast by eating up
bowl of marrow we had on the table
to use in lieu of butter. They will stalk
around the grounds in the most sedate
manner, then suddenly commence dane
ing in the most comical way, tumbling
all over themselves and running around
like mad. They will stop this foolish
ness as suddenly as they commenced it
and walk off as demurely as if they were
going to funeral. Forest and Stream.

Mr.. STONE, Of Kentucky, was not
old enough to be in the late war, but
he will make up for it now by ''spit.
ting" Oh the federal statutes and
Throwing United States marshaIs

had been old enough he would no
doubt have licked the North himself.
The difference between Stone and
Warner is this: In 1868, Warner as
circuit attorney for Jackson county,
dismissed a number of indictments
against old confederates, refusing to
prosecute them because he thought
the war was over In 1892, Stone
takes on a fresh supply Of hate and
