Ostrich Farming in Africa.

South Africa furnishes the bulk of
the ostrich plumes for the markets of
the world. and it is calculated that
there are 10000 domesticated ostriches
in Cape Colony, each bird being sup
posed to net its owner $40 year. The
birds are kept in large Enclosures, sur.
rounded with stone or wire fences, and
are commonly plucked once every
eight months, the yield from each be-
ing one pound weight of feathers.
Many farmers pluck only sixty feathers
at time. so as not to cause irritation
and injure the health of the birds The
ostrich lays from eighteen to twenty
four eggs in a nest which has been
1cooped out by the male bird in some
sandy soil, and both birds assist in the
incub alton, taking turn about Dur
ing this period of incubation the plumes
are at their best, but the long sittings
of the birds spoil them. OF late years
artificial incubation has been success
fully resorted to. Fewer eggs are
spoiled by this method. and the young
thus Matched are as vigorous as those
brought up by the birds themselves.
The value of the feathers exported
rom Cape Colony during the past
thirty wears is estimated at $4,000, 900,
and the total weight at 1000 tons

THE HIGHEST AWARD.

Royal Baking Powder Has All the Honors

Above Its Nearest Competitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly Observation-Disclosures ex-
hibited in competition with others. In
the exhibitions of former years, at the
Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the
various State and Industrial fairs,
where it has been exhibited, judges
have invariably awarded the Royal
Baking Powder the highest honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the exami-
were made by the experts of the chemi-
cal division of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington. The official report
of the tests of the baking powders,
which was made by this Department for
the specific purpose of ascertaining
which was the best, and which has
been made public, shows the leavening
strength of the Royal to be 100 cubic

The Royal. therefore, was found of 20 per

its nearest competitor. and A per cent.
above theaverage of all the other tests.
Its superiority in other respects. how
ever, in the quality of the food it makes
as to fineness, delicacy and wholesome
ness. could not be measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the coun-

the sales of the Royal Baking Powder,

ETIQUETTE OF INTRODUCTION.
A MOoted Question i'm Society Which Is
Hard to Settle Satisfactorily.

A Mooted Question i'm Society Which Is
Hard to Settle Satisfactorily.
One of the mooted questions of the
day is when is it proper to introduce
people to each other?' The strictest
etiquette forbids casual social intro
auctions or the introducing of any two
people at any time without the consent
of both parties. 1t is argued that peo-
pie who meet in a drawing-rOOm as
fellow-guests are introduced by that
mere fact sufficiently for the social
purposes of the hour, and they may en-
gage in conversation if they choose
without the least hesitancy, both un-
derstanding that this interchange in
wolves no acquaintance beyond the
present occasion. BY this arrangement
an awkward silence is averted, and it
certainly seems as if the chief argu-
ment in favor of introducing people"
is met. since, with 1.-The roof as their
transient introduction, they are per-
fectly at ease without personal intro
auctions. When people are used to
this idea it is altogether the most SEN
sible and agreeable solution of the
question, but many social assemblies
demonstrate that large number of
people are vet waiting to be intro
duced, and not without some feeling
of resentment when this ceremony is
neglected. Let it be understood that
any one is at liberty to speak to fell
low-guest without an introduction;
also, that such talk" does not war
rant any subsequent claim of acquaint-
ance. If in the course of this impromp-
tn chat mutual interest is awakened
either one may later seek an introduce
ton in due form through some common
friend. Unfortunately. however. most
people will not have it that way, and
at every large dinner party men may
be seen standing around stiff and awk-
ward glaring at men whose names they
know perfectly well. but waiting for
the formality of an introduction. Chi

Love In Maria se.

Don't marry man simply because
you are in love with him. If he doesn' I
care quite as much for you, you had
better break your heart grieving over
what you have not got than wear your
heart out in sorrow because you are
bound to n man whose Indifference is
perpetually before your eyes. The
idea of teaching man to love you is i
most mistaken one. A woman is much
more likely to learn TO love her hus-
band after marriage than the man to
learn to love the wife. and the reason
for this is evident: The woman in the
quiet of her home has her thoughts
directed constantly toward the hus
band. The man in the whirl Of
business has thousand things to dis
tract his attention. and the woman
who can win from his business thong I:

THE ARMY.
Summary of the Report Of the Secretary OF
War.

Summary of the Report of the Secretary OF
War;
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The annual
report of the secretary of war. which
has been submitted to the president, is
very voluminous document, contain
ing about 15,CCO words. 1t gives the
usual review of condition and opera
lions of the army and in addition is de-
voted especially to the progress of the
work on se2coast defenses. Following
is synopsis of the report:
Secretary Lamont reports that it may
be assumed that Indian warfare is
practically at an end in the United
States; that demands for the en-
ployment of the army to preserve
order within the states must be-
come infrequent. as state authority,
on which that obligation properly rests,
demonstrates its complete bility to dis
charge it, and that, in consequence, the
gradual concentration of the army on
the seacoast and the frontiers is pre-
scribed by the conditions of the time.
Any considerable increase in the num-
bers of the army would not meet with

necessity of the period directly ahead
of us.
The total strength of the army on
September 80, 1898, was 2.144 officers
and 25,719 enlisted men. For various
causes. discharge. purchase, desertion,
etc, the army lost 9,456 enlisted men
during the year and gained 9,O74 re-
cruitS Transportation was furnished
367,5 persons, 6,94S animals and 99.-
692 tons of freight The new quarters,
barracks and buildings at army posts
compare favorably with military struct-
ures abroad. The discipline, health
and general condition of the army are
reported good.
The secretary recommends strongly
the repeal of the law fixing ten years
as the maximum period of enlistment,
and favors reduction of the period OF
first enlistment to three years instead
of five. The prosecution of the expert
ment of enlisting Indian companies
will he continued only on the present
scale until its success or failure has

A SURGEONS NERVE.

Quality of the Profession.

Quality OF the Profession.
It is the common belief that a sur
geon must possess what is spoken of as
an extraordinary good nerve, and You
may perhaps doubt if you possess this
At the same time you must bear in mind
that in the case of a surgeon the cool
ness or calmness which is so admira BILE
and necessary in an operation does not
imply the possession of any remarkable
personal quality, but it is the simplest
result of complete knowledge of what
he is doing. 1t is rather the natural
outcome of his accurate familiarity of
anatomy, and his daily habit
A trooper would require a very fine
nerve to go to a masthead. or sailor
to ride an unmanageable horse across
the country, but a sailors confidence
aloft is due more to a matter of habit
than to any particular amount of cour-
age. In saying this, do not wish to
depreciate the calmness of the surgeon
in the face of difficulties, but may tell
you quite plainly that if you haven't
enough courage to be a surgeon. l
should be very much ashamed of you.
and you would turn out to be a very
poor creature, whatever occupation you
might follow. Still this fact remains.
and you may, perhaps, tie interested to
hear that |, who have known many
good surgeons, have never seen one
who has not possessed a very fine cour-
age.
In short. a very good surgeon is, in
my humble opinion, very tine fellow,
and when 1 see las do seel the extra
ordinary achievements of modern sur
gerry, l am very proud of belonging to
a profession which has made life so
much more endurable and prolonged to
the human race. So. possibly, the
great fascination which surgery no
doubt possesses to many, appeals more
strongly to men of courage and deter
mination than to those persons of more
weakly constituted minds, or to those
who are less vertebrate altogether
