OSTRICH FARMING.

Obtaining Feathers When the Industry
Was In It's Prime.
When ostrich farming was in its
prime, some thirty years ago, they had
been imported at vast expense from the
north. Every eight months or so, as
feathers matured, as many as could be
circumvented were caught and plucked.
necessarily galloping for many miles
over the weld in ever-lessening acres
we gradually drove them inward to the
mouth of a funnel-shaped pen. Here
they were separately secured like horses
in a box, deprived of their tail and
wing feathers, and set free, dismantled,
Inundated, naked, and, 1 grieve to
say, bleeding as well. The strength of
these birds is something prodigious.
We have all read. with more or less
of skepticism, of their carrying boys
upon their backs. I have myself seen,
and close at hand, hen ostrich run
ming freely with full-grown Kafir, of
not less than ten stone weight. astride
on her back. They are dangerous, too,
at times; for, though powerless in neck
and beck, an ostrich possesses formula
BILE weapons of offense in his great legs
and two-toed feet. A raking forward
kick delivered by an ostrich has been
known to rip man clean open-as
anyone will readily believe who has
seen the heavy nails and the enormous
muscles of their thighs. It is common
" said by those who know that a kick
from an ostrich is as bad as kick from
. horse. Magazine.

$1,000. 900 AN ACRE.

An Unnamed Millionaire Buys the Fifth
Avenue Property.
It was announced last night that the
land belonging to st. Lulee's hospital
on Fifth avenue, between Fifty-fourth
and Fifty-fifth streets, had been bought
by Charles A. Seymour for %, 450. 900.
Mr.. Seymour refuses to divulge the
name of his customer.
The property is block long by $50
feet deep, and comprises forty-one city
lots. 1t was purchased in 1862 for $S2,-
600. The hospital buildings will re-
main for year, or until its new build
ings at Morningside avenue and One
Hundred and Thirteenth street are
ready.
Farmers insist that they own the
great bulk of the land, and that q tax
on real estate alone would compel them
to pay most of the taxes.
That the very reverse Of this is true
such cases as this conclusively prove.
The forty lots embraced in the hospital
property having sold for one-third more
than the assessment Of the entire coun-
ty of Hamilton, with population Of
$500. When land is sold at the rate Of
81, 2O0, 200 per acre. and this by no
means the most valuable in the city, il
Thus, II the land were planted for hay
and a crop of four tons to the acre OBJ
tanned, the cost per ton would be about
$4,000, counting money worth per
cent When it comes to more valuable
land in the city the cost would rise to
500, 900 per ton or even more.

PERSONAL TAXES A FARCE.

Comptroller Meyers, Who Pays Taxes ON
$500 Personal Property. Says the Law
b Unjust and Should Not Exist---He Says
There Are Many Ways for the Rich Men
to Eyade tho Law, But tho Poor Have
to Pay.
According to statement made in the
Mail and Express yesterday the person
al tax books of the city show that Rich
ard Croker and Ex-mayor Hugh j.
Grant, although known to be wealthy
men, pay no personal taxes whatever.
Gov. Flower assessed on but $40, 900,
Comptroller Meyers $1,000 and ex-Tax
Commissioner Paris only $500, the two
latter enjoying the distinction of being
the only city officials who admit that
they own personal property valued
above their debts.
Controller Myers was asked last night
to explain this peculiar state of affairs.
1.-THE personal tax law" said he, ''is in
efficient and unjust. It really ought
never to exist You understand, of
course, that citizens are assessed such
certain amount as is thought to be
proper. II they make no objection the
assessment is confirmed: if they swear
it of, then the tax is not enforced.
am assessed $500, and you say Gov.
Flower is assessed $4,000. do not
suppose that Gov. Flower ever gave in
his personal holdings at SIC, 900; he was
simply assessed that amount
and let it go. say the per-
sonal tax law Is unjust and inefficient,
because it works hardship to
those who can least afford to pay. The
widow and the orphan are assessed,
while those who are richer easily evade
the operation Of the law. There are
SO many ways of evasion that L would
not undertake to enumerate them. A
mere temporary change of residence or
absence from the city is sufficient and
then much property is legally exempt.
Debts, too, must be deducted, so that
you see if man does not want to pay
personal taxes he can very readily
avoid it.
At any rate the law is farcical, not
only here in New York but everywhere
else, no matter what system is pursued
You simply need not pay taxes unless
you choose, but the poorer people do
not know how to evade the law or fail
to do it, and they may pay the bills
