THE PATERNAL OSTRICH.
Som. reruliarities of the Largest Of .fri.
can Birds.

The ostrich has many strange WAYS,
and | was particularly interested in
studying them. They go i'll tioch~ of
three or four females and one uule
about their nesting time, and for ,cv-
eral weeks before locating their nests
the h"ns drop their eggs all about the
panpaS. These are called hu"cL" eggs
pronounced .'watcho' and are much
more delicate in flavor than the rggs
taken from the nests. They have a
thinner shell. and when fresh laid are
of beautiful golden color. We cooked
tHruI by roasting them before the fire.
We would first break hole in the
small end of the egg large enough TO
insert teaspoon. The egg wonld he
set up among some hot ashes. It pinch
OF salt and pepper put into it and the
contents kept stirred with stick so
that all would be done alike. Th" tla-
vor is excellent and one egg would -at-
isfy a very hungry man. As so"u as
the ostriches decide upon a suitan!c
place for nest. the male bird scratches
away the grass and slightly hollows ont
the ground for Il space of about three
feet in diameter, All the hens of the
flock lay in the same nest until there
are from twenty five to thirty eggs laid.
The male birds then take possession and
sit on the eggs until they are hat"h"l,
As soon as the flock can leave the nest
the old fellow leads them away to feed
on flies and small insects, and every tling
is lovely until he espies another male
bird with a brood As soon as the old
birds See each other they make a pecul-
lar booming sound and every little os-
trirh disappears in the grass. The old
ones then approach each other and en-
gage in Il most deadly conflict. They
fight until one or the other is killed or
runs away. The remaining one will
then utter another peculiar sound and
both hroads will spring up from their
hiding places and follow the victor,
who struts off as proud as a peacock.

Fable of the Pan>y.

Lovers Of this pretty flower may be
interested in the fable concerning it.
The blossom has five petals and five
sepals. In most pansies, especially of
the earlier and less highly developed
varieties. two of the petals are plain in
color and three are gay The two plain
petals have Il single sepal each. and the
third, which is the largest of all, has
two sepals. The fable is that the pansv
represents family consisting of hus-
band, wife, and four daughters, two of
the latter being step-children Of the
wife. The plain petals are the step
children, with only one chair the two
small gay petals are the daughters,
with chair each and the large gay
petal is the wife, with two chairs TO
find the father, one must strip away the
petals until the stamens and pistis are
bare. They have fanciful resemblance
to an old man with a flannel wrap
around his neck, his shoulders appraised
and his feet i'll bathtub. In France,
the ransy is universally called the step
mother.

TO the EdltOr OF The ADVOCATE,
We read In your paper from one or two
Of your contributors in regard to letter
written to me by the Hon. P. P. Elder.
Mr.. J. A. Fuller, Of Lane, claims to have
seen the letter and says that il proclaimed
fusion with the Democrats. Now we "af-
firm" that there was no such word used
In the letter and that the letter through
out was strong plea to stand firm; using
such language as, "Hold our forces to-
gether at all hazards" But still he does
not believe in cursing and abusing the
Democrats and driving them away from
our ranks. He thinks they ought to give
US the field and assist US to elect our
ticket, but he does not proclaim or ad-
wise any fusion with the Democrats. Mr..
Elder Ia too we'll known ell over this
state to attribute any dlsloyal or dlSrep-
utable deeds by any who does not think
as he does. He has probably done moro
and stood more abuse for the cause Of
reform than any other person In the
