who knows how to make money as

When introduced to representative

THE THREE lNFlNlTlEs.

The vast remote blank darkness of the

Where silence foldeth the immortal
chime
OF wheeling stars in awful companies,
White whispers on the lips of ancient
Time;
The hollow waste of the unfathom'd deep
Where no sound is. and light is but a
CLEAN
Lost in dim twilight shades, where never
creep
The dying rays from daytide's golden
DREAM
The dark, obscure, mysterious human
heart,
Where fierce tides ebb and flow for ever
more,
Where thoughts and dreams and hopes for
ever part
For ruin or haven on some unknown
O, vast abysm, more deep than starry
night,
More awful than the mid-sca's soundlcss

OSTHiCH FARMING,
South Africa Exported $5O,OOO.OOO
Worth Of Plumes in Thirty Years.

South Africa Exported 100000
Worth of Plumes In Thirty Years.
Ostrich farming is one OF the i'm
portant Industries of South Africa,
which, as yet, furnishes the bulk OF
the ostrich pIumes for the markets Of
the world. There are probably 2OO,-
900 domesticated ostriches in Cape
Colony, says the American Agricul-
turist. Each bird is supposed to net
his owner $40 per annum. The in
closures in which they are kept are
usually built OF stone, but where
stone is not abundant wire fences
have been employed with equal
success.
The birds are commonly plucked
once every eight months, yielding one
pound weight of feathers each, but
many farmers only pluck sixty
feathers at time, SO as not to cause
too much irritation and resulting in
Illumination, which is very injurious
to the health OF the birds and lessons
the next crop of feathers. The birds
in these large fields, find plenty of
food, rarely having to be, fed with
mealies, beans, lucerne or other Guilt
waited food products.
The number OF eggs laid varies from
eighteen to twenty-four, the male bird
usually excavating the nest in some
sand spot, both birds assisting in the
incubation, taking turn about. But it
is during this period Of incubation
that the plumes are at their best, and
many OF them are utterly spoiled for
commercial purposes. OF late years
artificial incubating has been resorted
to and with perfect success, for it has
been found that fewer eggs are spoiled
by this method, and that the young
thus Matched are no less vigorous
than those brought up by the birds
themselves. The value of feathers ex-
ported from Cape Colony during the
past thirty years is estimated at over
$4,000, the total weight be-.
ing about l, 200 tons.

A RARE COLLECTION OF CANES.
A Theatrical Manager Who IL tho
Proud Possessor Of More Than
Eight Hundred Walking Sticks.

A Theatrical Manager Who Is tho
Proud Possessor Of More Than
Eight Hundred Walking Sticks.
j. NJ. Hill, the theatrical manager,
is the owner OF q museum. This mu-
scum, however, differs from all others
in that it contains nothing but canes,
and it is doubtful if there exists any
where o larger or more valuable col.
lection Of walking sticks than is there
in shown.
Although possessed OF this immense
store-house OF rare and costly speci-
mems of the canemakers' art, it is a
curious fact that Mr.. Hill is never
seen carrying one, nor, indeed, has he
ever so done. The entire lot was pre-
sented to him by personal friends and
up to the date of the accident which
resulted in q broken leg and confined
Mr.. Hill to his bed for several weeks it
consisted OF less than three hundred.
This catastrophe, however, seemed to
emphasize his need of q further num-
Der, for in five weeks more than five
hundred more were sent to him by his
many acquaintance and friends.
They represented every zone and were
of all sizes and dimensions.
Notable among Mr.. Hills collection
are q splendid specimen OF the Heidel-
berg students staff known as the
Ziegenhainer, various types Of the
blackthorn bludgeon, canes with COM
partments for cigars and liquid re-
freshments, and others containing
swords, torches and articles for
gentlemen toilet use while travelling.
Besides these, there is cane that can
be turned into stool or tield-rest at
moments notice, as well as one OF
the Louis NlNth snutT-boX sticks.
Then there is Il heavy staff that was
once the property OF Frederick
William l., OF Prussia; q shilelah that
belonged at one time to 'Brien, one
of the Manchester martyrs, as we'll as
several others made from tropical
woods and vines and mounted with
walrus tusks and the SHOUTS of the
swordfsh. For the snuff-box cane,
Mr.. Hill, it is said, has been offered
fabulous amounts by Messrs. Stafford
and Whitaker, who are also in the
cane collecting line, but he will not
part with it. The museum now con-
tains S32 canes and is valued by
connoisseurs in the thousands.

"7Aere's something behind it,
That's what you think, perhaps,
when you read that the proprietors
of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you
think, to find the makers Of medi-
cine trying to prove that they be-
lieve in it. "There must be some
thing back of it'll"
But it's plain, square offer, made
in good faith. The only thing that's
back Of it is the Remedy. 1t cures
Catarrh in the Head. 10 it's mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases yield,
no matter how bad or of how long
standing. 1t has a record that
goes back for 25 years. 1t doesn't
simply relieve it perfectly and
permanently cures. With Rem.
edy like this, the proprietors can
make such an offer and mean it.
To be sure there's risk in it, but
it's so very small that they are
willing to take it.
You've "never heard of anything
like this offer?'' True enough.
But then you've never heard OF
anything like DR.. Sage's Remedy.

Half an hour after, when Margaret

an Humble Railroad Official.
Kleanthos Skalieri, who died at
Athens a few days ago as an insignifi-
cant railroad official, was formerly
one OF the most influential men in
Constantinople He was born in the
Turkish capital fifty-five years ago,
the son OF q wealthy family OF Greek
origin. When young man he became
an intimate friend OF Murad, after
ward Sultan of Turkey, at. the time
the gayest youths OF STEAMBOAT.
Skalieri and his companions, it will be
remembered, organized q successful
conspiracy, dethroned Abdul Azziz,
and made Murad ruler of the Otto
man Empire. During the reign,
Skalieri lived q life OF ease, influence,
and luxury.
But the golden days were OF short
duration. Abul Hami came to the
throne, and poor Murad was thrown
into prison. Skalieri and his COM
panions well knew that, according to
Turkish traditions, Murad's days
We're numbered. They determined, if
possible, to liberate him, and, clad in
women's clothes, made q brave at
tempt to rescue their emperor, bene-
factor, and friend.
The attempt was vain. Most Of
the conspirators were captured, and
soon suffered the fate of all such men
in Turkey. They "mysteriously dis
appeared" But SkaIieri succeeded in
making his escape. He went to Athens
and secured g modest position.-Ar-
