in each wing, eight or nine fancy fea-
theirs and few long blacks, all taken
at the same time. Four months later
the stumps of these feathers are drawn
out, and two months later again-that
is, six months after the primes-the
short blacks and tail feathers are taken.
Of these it is impossible to give any
accurate number. As rule, you
pluck as many as possible without in
ficting pain on the bird, and at the
same time leaving enough to keep out
the cold.
An ostrich, like most other animals,
in it's wild state is terribly afraid of
man, or Of any unfamiliar sight, and
fees at the appearance of anything
new to its ken. When domestlcated
it becomes dociIe, and after q time
assumes a position of authority and
becomes master of the situation.

Nocturnal creatures assume night

that they cannot see by day, or that
they see better by night. The bat

angry grab at the stick, when it is not

LORD ROSEBERY-S LEADERSHIP.

The Liberal party In England is rapidly ap-
preaching crisis in its fortunes. London Is
filed with runners of Mr.. Gladstone's speedy re-
tirement and of the succession Of Lord Rose
berry to the Premiership. Contradictions may
follow the rumors another day, but II is alto
gether probable that Mr.. Gladstone is convinced
that he has reached, to use one of his own
phrases, the parting Of the ways. The Parish
Councils bill Is in a fair way TO be adopted after
reasonable concessions Oh both sides. and the
Government may go on and meet the new SEES
sion of Parliament with a fresh legislative pro-
gramme; but il is evident that Mr.. Gladstone
desires TO retire from office. and that he is
ply sically incapacitated for leading the Liberal
party. II he remains in office. probably it will
be because the succession to the leadership pre-
sents insuperable difficulties.
Lord Rosebery's name is again prominently
mentioned as his probable successor, with Lord
Spencer as an alternate, Sir William Harcourt
being apparently excluded by his impaired
health and physical infrmities. Lord Rose
bery's connection with the Upper House
would seem 10 be n serious objection, but
II might be obviated il he were 10 take
