Earning Pin Money,

With class of tenants who pay their
rent weekly it is customary before let
ting them a house to ask them to pro-
duce the rent book they have had from
their previous landlord, in order to as
certain whether they are in the habit of
paying their rent regularly or other
wise. Should the prospective tenant be
backward in his payments, it is not un-
usual for him to borrow and present as
his own the rent book of friend who is
more prompt in paying his rent. This
is trick that is played almost every
day.

tidy little sum by hiring out her rent
book. AS she paid her landlord pune
tually every week, her book was of
course invaluable to the defaulting ten

that this book was presented at our
Office some scores of times before the

STRANGE WAYS OF THE OSTRICH.
The Hens of the Flock Lay In the Same
Nest and the Male Hatches the Eggs.

The Hens of the Flock Lay In the Same
Nest and the Male Hatches the Eggs.
The ostrich has many strange ways,
and l was particularly interested in
studying them. They go in focks of
three or four females and one male
about their nesting time, and for sew
eral weeks before locating their nests
the hens drop their eggs all about the
pampas. These are called haucho (pro-
nounced "watchoo eggs, and are much
more delicate in flavor than the eggs
taken from the nests. They have
thinner shell and when fresh laid are
of beautiful golden color. We cooked
them by roasting them before the fire.
We would first break hole in the small
end of the egg large enough to insert
teaspoon.
The egg would be set up among some
hot ashes, pinch of salt and pepper put
into it, and the contents kept stirred
with stick, so that all would be done
alike. The flavor is excellent, and one
egg would satisfy very hungry man.
As soon as the ostriches decide upon
suitable place for nest the male bird
scratches away the grass and slightly
hollows the ground for space of about
two feet in diameter. All the hens of
the flock lay in the same nest until there
are from twenty-five to thirty five eggs
laid. The male bird then takes posses
sion and sits on the eggs until they are
Matched. As soon as the brood can
leave the nest the old fellow leads them
away to feed on flies and small insects,
and everything is lovely until he espies
another male bird with brood.
AS soon as the old birds see each other
they make peculiar booming sound
and every little ostrich disappears in the
grass The old ones then approach each
other and engage in most deadly con-
fiict They fight until one or the other
is killed or runs away. The remaining
one will then utter another peculiar
sound and both broods will spring up
from their hiding places and follow the
victor, who struts off as proud as pea
cock. have seen old male ostriches
with three broods, each of different
size, two Of which they had captured.
They become very tame in captivity,
but are a perfect nuisance about place,
as you cannot keep them out of the
buildings and they will gobble up any
thing they can swallow. One of them
cleaned out workbasket one day, swal-
lowing spools of cotton, emery bag and
thimble, ending his repast by eating up
bowl of marrow we had on the table
to use in lieu of butter. They will stalk
around the grounds in the most sedate
manner, then suddenly commence dane
ing in the most comical way, tumbling
all over themselves and running around
like mad. They will stop this foolish.

Curiosities In Bookbinding.

Extravaganza in binding has frequent
ly furnished an opening for the display
of fantastic tricks and fads. In book

Apulein's Golden ASS" bound in the
skin of Jerusalem ass, the leather be-

Hudson, the noted dwarf, was bound in
the silk waistcoat of Charles l, the
dwarf's patron saint. A de luxe edition
of Fox's historical works, specially fitted
up for Edwards, the philosopher, was
bound throughout in foxskin, forty
seven pelts of these little animals being
required to complete the job. O'Con-
nell, who so delighted in the possession
of a first edition of Bacon's works, had

To Benefit Barmaids.

A movement is on foot in England,
fostered by group of noble ladies in
terested in the subject, to protect bar
maids as to their hours of labor. 1t is
estimated that there are 1870, 600 young
women in London in licensed houses
who work from Is to 18 hours day on
weekdays and from seven to nine hours
on Sundays, with one Sunday off In
each month. Surely when so much Is
said about an eight hour day for men
these young women ought not to be for
gotten. They find a haven of rest in
their brief intervals of leisure at the
Morley rooms, established by the late
Mr.. Samuel Morley and now under the
superintendent of Miss G. M. Cough.
Here barmaids out of work can stay,
paying very small sum for board and
lodging. But the social part of the
work is the most valuable. Barmaids
are brought into contact with ladies of
education and refinement. The rooms
are used for reading, writing, music,
conversation, rest and advice, and books
are lent from an excellent library

DANGEROUS DERELICTS.
Need of an International Agreement For
Their Marking Removal.

Need of an international Agreement For
Their Marking or Removal.
A Washington dispatch anent the res
olution of Congressman Cummings pro-
viding for an international agreement
for the reporting, marking and removal
of derelicts in the north Atlantic ocean
says:
Secretary Carlisle, in letter to the
committee on the subject, says that the
necessity for such an agreement among
the governments concerned was empha-
sized by the international marine con-
ference held in Washington in 1889. He
believes the resolution a proper one and
recommends it's passage. Accompany
ing his letter are extracts from the re-
port of the commissioner of navigation
on the subject.
Commissioner O'Brien in his report
especially invites attention to the sub
ject of derelicts and other distractions
to navigation. He refers to it as mat
ter of international Government and
one of great Importance. President Mink
of the American Steamship association,
in letter to Mr.. OBrien, says that he
is informed that the commissioner is
making heroic efforts to get rid of dere-
licts off the Atlantic coast. He is re-
joiced at this, as the members of the as
sociation are complaining bitterly at
these unlighted and unmarked obstruc-
tions. They have been so frequent Of
late that no captain feels easy. in going
up or down the coast.
Mr.. Mallory says that precious car
goes and still more precious lives are
greatly threatened every time vessel
passes between the United States and
Europe and along the North American
coast, and they are not infrequently de-
stroyed. Charts have done much for the
safety of commerce by showing the posi-
tions of 1892 vessels abandoned on the high
seas and by marking the drift tracks of
139 of them. But they have utterly
failed, and this is an alarming fact, to
show the tracks of 625 derelicts which
have been reported. tbs another alarm
ing fact that they have tracks and do
drift. They are here today, yonder to-
morrow. They are a rowing fleet that
always hover upon the pathway of COM
merce. They are more dangerous than
a fleet of pirates, because they are vast
ly more numerous, because they strike
even more by night than by day and be-
cause they are more merciless when they
do strike. To destroy them is the only
effective way of dealing with them.

FOOTBALL IN MALAY.
A Game That Might Give Our Own Players
Few Pointers.

A Game That Might Give Our Own Players
aFew Pointers.
Among the Malays football has been
In existence from time immemorial,
but it Is with them essentially a game,
as, for instance, battledoor and shuttle
cock is with us, and 1t is not contest.
The football is rather smaller than that
used at Eton and is made of wicker
work. Those who join in the game ar
range themselves in wide circle and
kick the ball from one to another with
the inside, or, at times, with the flat Of
the foot. The object of the players Is
to keep the ball passing about without
Its ever touching the ground or the hand
of any one. Great dexterity Is shown
in this performance, and the ball Is
usually kicked to a very respectable
height. There seems to be no penalty
exacted from player who may kick the
ball badly or fail to kick it at all.
We had our own game of football,
and the Dutchmen, assisted by two
members of our team, scored two goals
to our four. During the game the ma
tives collected in still greater numbers,
and at its termination they begged us
to allow them to have game among
themselves. To this we assented, and
two of us acted as captains of the sides,
numbering about 30 players apiece,
most of whom stripped to the "sarong,
and wrapped it round their loins, leav-
ing the rest of their bodies bare.
The ball was started, and then fol-
lowed one of the most extraordinary
games of football that has ever been
seen. The game soon ceased to be a
game ut all and became veritable bat
tie.
As when a sort of lusty shepherds try
Their force at football, care of victory
Makes them salute so rudely, breast to breast.
That their encounter seemed too rough for Jest.
Hands, arms and even teeth, were
used on all sides, blood flowed freely,
to be seen the wounded, might almost
say, the slain. AS some fell exhausted
to the ground they were removed, and
their places in the fray were taken by
others, who rushed forth eagerly from
the crowd of spectators.
Shouts Of victory and groans of de-
feat rent the air, and at length things
became SO serious that the two captains
were obliged to seize upon the ball and
bolt with it to the pavilion. The game
thus came to an end, and the players
withdrew to their homes, with the ex-
cited crowd following at their heels.
This must have been regarded as a red
letter day by the native community Of
Medan, and the visit of the "Orange
Puteh" (Englishmen) will be remem-
bered among them for some time to
come. We received hint next morn
ing from the authorities that the natives
must not be allowed to take part in our
games.-Fortnightly Review.
