The Ostrich and Its Eggs.

l am rehearsing few Of the peculiari-
ties of the creature which have made it
Of interest ever since the days of Job,
switch leaveth her eggs in the earth and
warmeth them in the dust" 1t would
appear to be an evidence of cunning
rather than stupidity for Mrs. Ostrich
to adopt this very simple method of in
cubation. However, it has its disadvan-
tages, for while she is away getting a
good dinner her enemy, the white necked
crow, spies the unguarded nest. He
knows he cannot break one of those
mammoth eggs and devises a shrewd
plan to help him. Taking a stone in his
beak he flies over the spot, calculates
with bird sagacity the necessary dis
tance and drops the stone. PUNK! An
egg is broken, and he descends to his
feast. This Is said to be the same kind
Of a raven that fed the prophet Elijah.
His wisdom seems almost of supernat
ural order. 1t is said that the cry of an
ostrich is like the roar of lion, and the
Hottentots often run from it in fright
until they see the bird.-Detroit Free

A Gashful Lord of Other Days.

There was young lover who was a

modesty and shyness. Most noble lords

cordngly. This noble lord, however.
was modest He thought himself SO far
so very far-below the worth of the
young lady whom he loved that he wa.
afraid to speak. Some women do not
understand this modesty. Believe ms,
ladies', tbs a sure and certain sign of a
noble character. because only a lofty
soul can conceive the existence Of a god
dess. We measure others, you see. by
ourselves. 1t is also a sure sign of love.
because such a man can only love wo-
man whom he deeply respects. Encour-
age this modesty, my daughters. Above
Ill, do not laugh at it. This young man.
therefore, was afraid to speak, and the

he Weight Of Crowds.

The load which is produced by dense
crowd of persons is 6, ,erally taken at so
70 100 pounds per square foot and Is con-
oidered to be :.le greatest uniformly dis
tributed load for which floor need be
proportioned. Tina, this value may be
largely exceeded in au actual crowd was
pointed out by Professor w. c. kernot
of the Melbourne university, Australia,
IN paper before the Victorian Institute
e Engineers. In an actual trial class,
Of students averaging 1888 pounds each
IN weight were crowded in lobby con-
tanning .s23 square feet, making an av-
erage floor load of l3i.7 pounds. There
was still room to have placed another
man, which would have brought up the
loading to 1881 pounds per square foot.
Professor Kernot also quoted from
Btoney. who placed 50 Irish laborers
sveraging 1jS pounds each in weight in
an empty ship deckhouse measuring 81
square feet floor area. This was a load
Of 147.4 pounds per square foot. In an.
other test. with .3 laborers crowded into
= hut feet by feet inches, Stoney
produced a load of 143 pounds per
square foot and estimated that two or
three more men could have been squeezed
m. 1t appears from these experiments
that while the figures ordinarily assumed
of SO to 100 pounds are sufficiently cor
rect for spaces on which there is no
cause to induce the collection of great
crowds. larger figures, say l40 to 80
pounds per square foot. should be used

frances and exits to places of public as

PANAMA PIRACY.
11onstrous Extravaganza of Do Lesssps
g. and His Associates.

Honstrous Extravaganza of Dc Lesssps
.. and His Associates.
A correspondent of the Boston Bulle-
tin writes from Panama that the half
has not been told of the condition of af-
fairs there. -..
About half mile from the roadstead
at Colon is point of artificial land on
which stands the ruins of houses erected
at cost of one hundred Thousand dol
lars for the temporary accommodation
of Dc Lesseps and his son. The foun-
dations for the houses and most of the
point were made by dumping into the
mud machinery purchased for the canal
and covering the whole with earth and
sod. De Lesseps is credited with haV-
ing spent two weeks ut his house.
On the tops of the hills may be seen
the houses built for the engineers and
their servants, all elaborate, all dis
mantled, all dccaying. At Colon are
some forty or fifty tugs going to decay.
On the sidings and special tracks stand
lines of abandoned dump cars and loco
motives. The common report there is
that there are enough abandoned dump
ears and locomotives to reach twice
across the isthinus forty-fivc miles,.
Vines grow over these rotting vehicles,
and the locomotive boilers are SO eaten
with rust that they may be broken
with an ordinary hammer.
Acres and acres are covered with parts
Of cars that have never been set up and
large sheds are filed with locomotives,
both cars and locomotives being of Il
special gauge and useless elsewhere.
The fields are full of abandoned ma
chincly and supplies and cars with
hosting engines.
Considerable work has been done on
the canal in patches, but, Us apparently
the cuts were not even made on level,
the soil is fast filling in. Drcdgcs arc
still standing. abandoned in the middle
of the canal. No blasting or difficult
work has apparently been done what
ever. All along the route from Colon
are gravcyards and hospitals, and at
Panama lie d hundred tugboat5 rotting,
one on the stocks that bad ncvar been
launched.
The natives report that the life of the
French was one continued debauch, and
the thiclzly strcwn champagne bottles
gave some color to the story.
Current report has it that thirty
Thousand dollars per month is still paid
out to guard this gigantic graveyard of
great nations enterprise dug by the
unworthy sons TO whom she intrust-
ed it.

Furnishing the Kitchen.

Few women are strong enough
to keep a bare floor properly
scrubbed, and a carpet absorbing
the odors and greases of cooking is
an abomination, therefore, it is a
good plan to buy brown oilcloth
for the kitchen floor, as it shows
wear less readily than other colors
and blends better with the wood
work, writes Helen Jay in an article
on Furnishing Moderate
Home" in the September Ladies'
Home Journal. To be sure this
seems like a little thing, but atten-
ton to details is an essential in the
harmonious evolution of a home.
In buying this oilcloth the house
wife's labors will be lessened if
enough more is bought to cover the
closet floors. Few Kitchens are
'commod1ous-for this reason a flap
table which, when not in use, can
be folded up and fastened against
the wall, is a positive boon. If
not obtainable in the shops one can
be easily made by taking a dress
makers stationary cutting board
as a model. The top of this table
should be covered with white
cloth, and if the closet shelves are
covered with the same materi al
they can more easily be kept clean
and sweet. Besides this table two
chairs are needed for the kitchen.
They should be made entirely Of
wood, as cane seats are treacherous
things and repairing them expen-
sive work. Small cooking utensils
are kept in better condition if hung.
A wide, painted board, made after
the model of the small keyracks
sold in fancy shops, can be hung
by means of picturehooks fastened
in the top edge back of the table.
On it small hooks, such as are used
by upholsterers, can be screwed in
rows. There is no better harbor
for knives, spoons and small tin.
ware. Back of the sink should
hang the dishpan, soaprack and
small scrubbing broom. The or
binary kitchen has two or three
closets. 1t sinplies the work to
devote each of these to a defnate
purpose. For instance, in one
