OSTRaCEH FARMING.
Arizona FaYOrabIe.-One Bird
 Nets $40 Per Annum.

Ostrich farming could no doubt be made to yield profitable returns even if carried on far more exten- sively than at present in the United States Several fourishing ostrich farms are to be found in California, and it is beyond ques- tion that many parts of Arizona, New Mexico and southwestern Texas are well-adapted to the busi- ness. According to a late South African paper, some 10000 ostrich es are to be found on the farms in Cape Colony. It is alleged that each bird there net about $40 per year, which must be regarded as a good profit for almost any animal kept about the farm. In the Cape Colony the birds are pIucked about every eight months, and yield about pound of feathers each plucking. Artificial incubation is practiced in Africa as we'll as California, and it is found to be of great advantage in the propagation of the birds. The ostrich is especially adapted to the arid re- zion and requires but little care. It is estimated that 1900 tons of ostrich feathers have been export ed from Cape Colony during the past thirty years, valued at $50,- 900, ,000.-Irrigation Age.

ORANGE BLOSSOMS.
How They Become the AdOrn-
 menfs of Brides.

Like all familiar customs whose origin is lost in antiquity, the wearing of orange blossoms at a wedding is accounted for in various ways. Among other stories is the following pretty legend from Spain:
 An African Prince presented 8 Spanish King with a magnificent orange tree, whose creamy, waxey blossoms and wonderful fragance excited the admiration ofthe whole court. Many begged in vain for a branch of the plant, but a foreign ambassador was tormented by the desire to introduce so great e curiosity to his native land. He had used every possible means, fair or foul, to accomplish his purpose, but all his efforts coming to naught he gave up in despair.
 The fair daughter of the court gardener was loved by a young artisan, but lacked the dot which the family considered necessary in a bride. One day, chancing to break off a spray of orange blossoms, the gardener thought lessly gave it to his daughter. Seeing the coveted prize in the girls hair, the willy ambassador promptly gave her sum sufficient for the desired dowry, provided she gave him the branch and said nothing about it. Her marriage was soon celebrated, and on the way to the altar, in grateful re- membrance of the source of all her happiness, she secretly broke of another of the lucky tree to adorn her hair.
 Whether the poor court gardener lost his head in consequence of the daughter treacheIy the legend does not state. but many lands now know the wonderful tree, and ever since that wedding-day orange blossoms have been considered a fitting adornment for a bride.- Kate Fields Washington.

An editor once died and slowly

An editor once died and slowly wended his way to hell. The devil saw him and said: "For many years thou hast borne the blame in thy paper. Thy paper has failed, alas, for subscriptions were never paid. Thy printers have deviled three on Saturday eve for wages and thou hadst not a red to thy name. Men have taken thy paper without paying cent; yea, verify, and cursed thee for not issuing a better. All these things hast thou borne in silence. Thou cans't not come in. There will be continual dunning of subscribers (for hell is full of them), and discord will be created in our kingdom. Begone! Heaven is thy home.-Ex.

Pyseng Yang, a city in Corea, was founded 3O16 years ago. It is known as the well-less city. With in it's walls is not single well, and all the water of the city is carried up by watermen from the river which washes it's southern wall. Tradition shows that this has al- ways been so, for it is said that when Chinese general besieged it 2000 years ago, believing that he could compel it's inhabitants to capitulate by cutting off their water supply, he was led to give up the attempt because the soldiers on the walls took fish scales and went through the motions of the bath and the scales, glittering in the sun, looked, in the eyes of the as- tonished besiegers, to be drops of water.

A Strange Island in the Gulf
 of California.

| possessor of Tiburon Island in the Gulf of California has the following to say regarding it and it's inhabit- ants:
 "That island of Tiburon in the gulf that has come into prominence through the report that savage cannibaIs possessed it," said the general, q have held many years. It is about thirty miles long and from twentv-two to twenty-five miles wide, and five or six years ago I thought of fraising cattle on it. I got an interpreter and bought lot of calicoes, handker- chic ifs and trinkets of various kinds, which I intended to present to the Indians.
 "Then with an escort of twenty five Mexican soldiers I set out. But when I arrived at the island the Indians were so wild that l could not get near them. The In dians are very tall and thin, but weak, and they run like deers. l had sent man and his squaw in to tell them I only meant good, and had presents for them, but they wouldn't come down out of the ironwood and mesquite covered hills. Once when 1 got sight of an Indian I took after him, think ing I could catch him, and two or three of my men joined me. But it was no use. He ran so fast we could not get near him.
 "That island has very high hills in the center, and around the border is a flat valley. It has grass, sage brush and other bushes on it. one of the bushes being a very nutritious bean, called jojova. It is oily, and as good as corn for livestock. Up in the hills the bush gets bigger.
 "There are plenty of wild an- imals on the island. When l went there I saw very large tracks in the sand, and said at once, 'Why there are cattle here already But there were not. They were the l tracks of the great elk which roam there. There are also deer wAd cats. coyotes and mountain lions. ] About gne island in the gulf are a vast variety of fishes. Clans in large numbers are to be had. Turtles in plenty and far bigger than an ordinary cookstove are all along the island shores. They are green turtles and they are fine eating. I was searching for springs for the cattle which I proposed bringing over, but the Indians all running away as they did, I never completed the explorations l in tended"
 General Andrade says there isn't much profit from his island pos session now, but he is satisfied there will be fortune in it ere long.

A recent dispatch says: L. J. Court, an old-time proSpector, has just arrived in Prescott from a three months sojourn in one of the most intcrestino and least known porta-s e. ne Territory. The wonder]aa. from which he has returmed is ta@ country lying be- tween the tiaa and Verde ranges of mountains Mir. Court thinks that section contains more Aztec ruins than any other portion of America, evidences of human habitation being found from the highest peak to the lowest valleys. In one place he found a road or street three miles in length. per- fectly smooth and straight and 60 feet in width. On either side of the street, the entire distance, are ruins. The road was evidently built prior to some mighty earth quake, as it ends abruptly at the brink of yawning chasm He dug up and found lying about great number of skeletons, which were in a fair state of preservation, the heads of all being alike, very large over the eyes and receding and almost flat toward the back of the head, jaws we'll developed, but front upper and lower teeth small and sharp. The ruins show the people to have been workers in stone, some fragments of work in turquoise be- ing found. Every available foot of land had once been cultivated. The region, although little has heretofore been known about it, is very accessible and will no doubt become an interesting resort for travellers.

putting to sea with the Republica and
transports and attempted to make q
landing in the Department or Rocha,
Uruguay, intending to surrender his
whole force TO the Uruguayan anthoIi-
ties. But at the last moment asdisagree-
ment took place between the rebel ad-
miral and General Salgado, and
the latter, accompanied by 400
armed, sick and wounded and almost
starving men, landed upon Uruguayan

the latter would guarantee not to sur
render him to the government Of Brazil.
The Uruguayan officials were unable to
give this pledge, and consequently, Ad-
miral de Mello remained on board the
Republica. That war ship afterwards
went TO the province of Rio Grande do
Sui, according to report received here
and attempted to make q landing. But
the rebels were driven back to their
boats by the forces of President Peixoto
and the whereabouts Of the Republica
Ia now unknown.

taking possession of the Aquidaban,

Is said to have captured that city, and
the state of Santa Catharina is also re-

ance. These reports, however, lack con-
