The Waltz of the Osfrich

The dance of the ostrich is one of those
peculiar native customs which certain
fowls develop, without any apparent in
centive except it may be the law of heredi-
ty. 1t usually occurs at early morning.
when the young, strong birds are let out of
their enclosure, and is said to be entirely
due to awkwardness and uncertainty. This
leads them to advance and turn in der
ylshlike whirl which is very quaint and fan
tastic, as they float about assisting their
motions by their outspread wings. They
circle and reverse almost as a walter
would, and when large number of these
strange birds go through their dancing an
tics, 1t is almost impossible TO believe that
they have not been taught the accomplish
ment by dancing master Their waltz
often ends in disaster, as they break each
others legs, which is certain death, or be-
come dizzy and fall down in a demoralized
heap. The kick of an ostrich has been
known to destroy life.
In the opening chapter of Rider Hag-
CARDS jess" there is a highly dramatic
account of fight for life with an ostrich.
and 1T is historically correct. In fighting
they are apt to break their own legs. they
give such desperate blows. Indeed it
would seem as if all the vital energies of
the great bird were centered in its long. nm
calmly legs, which are graceful ONLY when
going across their native grass covered
plains with a rapidity of motion that must
be seen to be ppreciated.-Detroit Free

The Nishtingale's Song and Mating.

The cock birds usually arrive in the val
ley at the end of the second week in April
and spend at least week in practicing and
recalling their song. At such times they
are extremely tame, and the writer has
often watched from a few yards distant the
singers, who show far less nervousness in
practicing before a stranger than is often
observed in human vocalists. The first long
drawn notes are commonly run through
without difficulty, but the subsequent trills
and changes can no more be acquired with
out practice and training by the nightin-
gale than by a human singer. The bird
stops and repeats the song, sometimes car
rying it on with a rush which seems to
promise success, and then breaking down
helplessly.
Now and then the complete song is sung
so low as to be almost inaudible, and then
triumphantly repeated with the utmost
powers which the bird can exert. Providing
bird catchers, with their traps and meal
worms, are wont to find their way to Night
ingale valley, and the owner of the farm
finds it necessary to give orders for the pro-
lection of the nightingales equally with the
pheasants nesting in the copses. BY the end
of May the birds are sitting, and the cocks
sing to them throughout the night.-Lcn-
don Spectator.

Cardinal Principles of Reading.

In choice of reading there are two car
dinal principles which should ever be borne
In mind-first. that it is necessary to keep
fairly abreast of the principal thoughts and
news of the time, and, second, that it is
essential, in order to a right estimate of
present events, to Gull at any rate some of
the choicest flowers of the literature and
history of the past. To keep fairly apace
with the general thought and news, news
papers and magazines are indispensable,
though too much attention cannot be paid
to Emerson's advice in this regard-to
learn the art of quickly and profitably as
similating their contents. To be forever
wrapped up in newspaper and to depend
entirely upon it for mental sustenance is
truly humiliating position for people
heirs of all ages, foremost in the ranks of
time" But it is a common one, for there
are thousands who, never reading any
thing else, are content to let their intellects
starve in the midst of plenty. 1t is indeed
this very plenty which is so embarrassing
The second principle that has been indi-
cated-that it is necessary to obtain a well
proportional view of present events-in-
wolves the reading of history, biography,
philosophy and fiction. 1t is a striking
comment on the prevalence of popular ig-
norance that a sensational murder will pro-
vide months topic for conversation, while
the publication of profound work which
is the result of long years of toll will pass
UNDECIDED a people educated by reading
that which would give them just sense of
proportion could not fail to discriminate
between the relative Importance of the two
events. For this purpose English litera-
ture is admirably adapted, Lord Macaulay
averring that there is in the English clas-
slcs body OF teaching power which the
literature OF Greece and Rome cannot rival.
NO people has on the whole written so
much and so well" says the Rev. Stopford
Brooke; no people can point to so long
and so splendid a train of poets and prose
writers. "-Chambers' Journal.

References on Both Sides.

In the Nestminster Gazette the other day
appeared lively little dialogue in which a
servant on being engaged demanded in her
turn reference as to her employers char
acter. Why not? A servant runs many
dangers in entering an unknown house.
She may find herself under a mistress of
harsh temper, suspicious, niggardly, fidg-
ETY., exacting, whose moods she must en-
dure or she may have her character blasted
for life by that woman's maiignity. But
there are even worse dangers. She NAV
md herself in the company of people thor
oughly bad, lawless, depraved, and so NAV
lose her character almost irretrievably.
The mistress in the dialogue is represent
ed as stricken SPECIFICS with rage. Well,
but whys l am credibly informed that no
servant goes into strange house if she can
help it without ascertaining the character
of the mistress from the outgoing occupant
of the position. You see, ladies'. when YOU
allow your maid to open the door to the
applicant you give yourself away. 1t is
done in a few words: "A stingy devil.
Horrid temper. Nasty, suspicious cat, al
ways prying and poking about. You won't
stay long" Or She's good sort, and I'm
sorry to 60 Wouldn't go if wasn't to be
married" Perhaps it would be well to
make a virtue of necessity. The dialogue
should have ended something as follows:
Your name is Martha Rollingpin. Well.

speaks well of you will give you a trial.
You will probably like a reference as re-

Martha, that the character on both sides
will lead to a lasting engagement and to
mutual esteem. Good morning to you. -

Magnitude of the Down Industry.

From out of the chaos of new industries
the down trade has sprung to most con-
spicuous place. Down pillows and head
rests, es well as down comfortables, were,
up to short while ago, imported almost
entirely, but today they are manufactured
very largely in this country, and many
grades are produced and sold here more
cheaply than the imported

Philosophy ON the Road.

A certain amount of philosophy is an
armor of proof when one is on a Journey.
The thought that not you, but the con-
ductor and the captain and the engineer
are responsible for the safety of the cars or
boat should suffice to keep you from need
less and useless fidgeting when there is a
halt. Some people waste an immense
amount of esergy in trying to undertake
what is not within their province. No
amount of idle Tuning will cool heated
