THE HOUBARA BUsTARD.
A Peculiar Bird Found in the Noun
tains of Afghanistan.

Among the winter migrants to India the HOu-
bara bustard Is probably Que OF the largest. but
as ii confines its visits only to the northwest
frontier, it Is not so well known. Having its
home in the mountainous regions Of Afghanis-
tan, or, as some suppose, In the Trans-Cauca-
SLAMS, it is driven down by the severity of the
winter TO The low countries bordering the Per-
sian Gulf, Southern Beluchstau and Sind,
where. avoiding all fertile tracts 1t selects the
dreary sand plains that are dotted over with
elumps of mmosa scrub and notified patches
of thorny bush. OF sandy-gray color mark ed
with black. the Houbara, when full grown,
rarely exceeds two feet in height, and about 26
inches in length, and from end to end of wing
about 81 TO So inches. In spite OF this expanse
of wing il Is a very poor performer In the air,
but, possessing cursorial feet and very keen
sight, it easily evades pursuer.
The female is easily distinguished by a
small crest. composed of fine gray feathers
tipped with black, and also by the large black
and white feathers on either side Of the neck
which extends down 10 its breast. 1t feeds on
leaves of shrubs, flowers aud small wild
berries during he night, but after sunrise IL

A CLEVER OCULIST.
The Manner in Which He Exposed
an Intended Fraud.

an Intended Fraud.
Here Is an interesting account OF very
clever bit of detective work by an oeullsL. lt
appears that in a large factory, in which were
employed several hundred persons, one OF the
workmen in welding his hammer carelessly
allowed it to slip from his hand. 1t flew half
way across the room and struck fellow-W0fK-
man IN the left eye. The man ayerred that his
sight was blinded by the blow, although care
ful examination failed TO reveal any INJURY,
there being not scratch visible. He brought
suit in The courts for compensation for the
loss OF half Of his eyesight, and refused all
offers of compromise.
Under the law the owner OF the Factory was
responsible for an injury resulting from an
accident OF this kind, and although he beleVed
that the man was shammiDg and that the whole
case was an attempt at swindling, he had about
mad up his mind that he would be competed
to pay The claim. The day of the trial arrived,
and In open court an eminent ocullSt retained
for the defense examined the alleged injured
member and gave it as his opinion that 1t was
as good as the right eye. Upon the plalntlHs
loud protest OF his inability TO see with MS left
eye, the oculist proved him perjurer and sat
isfed the court and jury OF the falslIy OF MS
claim.

ordered to put on a pair of spectacles with

handed him and he was ordered 10 read the
writing on it. This he did without hesitation
and the cheat was at once exposed. Inc

SNOW that the party Of corporations

an event which took place on the great
independence day in this city is just now
beginning to attract the attention it de-
serves.
Reference is made to the selection Of
a Peoples party ticket, which at that
date was laughed at and regarded by q
msjority Of people as joke and BY some
Of the Populists themselves Rs mere
matter of form. But few can see farther
than the ends of their noses in these
times, and indeed it would be surprising
il they had in this instance. Who would
have believed a month ago that the
Peoples party had ghost OF q show in
Wisconsin, the rRilrosj.ridden, trust
tortured, monopoly-muzzled, corpora
tion-cinched old Badger state?
''This latest unpleassntneQs, the battle
with Pullman, has had q far.resching
effect. 1t has gone straight to the
hearts Of thinking men in the old par
ties, and they have determined to place
this state out Of reach of the men who
have controlled its affairs for years and
abused the power given them.
''They argue that the party which in.
dorses Grover Cleveland, the United
States senate, and the rest Of the demo-
cratic rotteDness is not to be trusted in
power in Wisconsin. Liberal democrats
