Not a Foolish Habit.

The ostrich has always been consld-
cred sadly lacking iii wisdom on ac-
count of it's custom of hiding its head
in the sand leaving the body exposed
TO danger But the supposedly foolish
habit is in reality a wise provision OF
nature for the safety of the bird in a
region where hiding places are scare.
When a brood of young ostriches is
warned by their guardian they instant
" fade out of sight. Gauchos told me
that they had surprised broods of more
than a score. of which they were able
to find no more than three or four, and
vet those birds had no more shelter fog
hiding than was afforded by dozen or
SO small bushes. Squatting motionless
with his head in the sand the ostrich
is SO near in color like the sand and the
scant herbage that grows there that
even experienced hunters fail to see
them. They readily learn the habits of
heir prosecutors, and know when and
low to seek safety. Here and there is
ound a ranch owner who will not per-
nit ostrich hunting on his grounds.
The birds quickly learn the lay of the

The Cotton States and international
Exposition, which will open at Atlanta,
Ga, next September, and continue the
rest of the year, will be an affair Of
greater magnitude and Importance than
most people have begun to realize.
Coming as it does, SO soon after the
Columbian Exposition, it is naturally
dwarfed in the popular imagination by
comparison with it; but, though Of les
ser scope and more limited in it's I'M
dertakings, it will present much that
could not be seen at the Worlds Fair,
and it promises to give entertainment
and instruction of no inferior order.
Twelve principal buildings will be ar
ranged in the midst Of Piedmont Park,
fronting upon beautiful lake. the
Glare Mer. More than $500, 900 has al
ready been expended in frightening the
picturesque features of the landscape,
and about 100000 will be expended
in all to make the exposition. The
buildings will be mostly Of the Roman
esuue order of architecture, designed
on simple lines and intended to impress
by outline and proportion rather than
by richness of ornamentation. The
manufacturers, transportation, agri
cultural, and Government buildings
will be the largest and will contain the
principal exhibits. The United States
exhibit will represent the several de
Dartments, State, Interior, Navy, and
War Departments, the forestry and fish
commissions. and the minerals. The
foreign exhibits include valuable prod
ucts and collections from Mexico and
the States Of South America. The
State exhibits, however, from Georgia,
Florida, Louisiana, and the Carolinas
will receive large space and will consti-
tute the principal attractions, for the
declared object Of the exposition is to
give the South an opportunity which
it did not have at the Worlds Fair
to make an adequate display Of it's ag-
ricultural, mineral and manufacturing
resources.

land where they are safe and gather
on it from surrounding districts in great
bands, leaving the hunted grounds
bare. And what is more remarkable
still, the very birds that will flee for
their lives when startled by man on
the hunted grounds will show not the
least concern at the approach Of man
when they are on safe ground. That
they are readily domesticated may be
inferred from this. The young will re-
main about a ranch when they grow
up, of course, and so their plumes may
be obtained without killing them. But
not MANY are kept so, because the old
cocks are often ugly and will attack
even men accustomed to feed them.

A Cormorant at Work.

Those who watch the cormorants
diving feats are usually so interested
in the fortunes of the chase, as the
handsome bird dashes after the fish,
that not one visitor in twenty observes
that. from the moment of it's entering
the water to it's exit, it's movements are
absolutely different from those of the
great penguins. The cormorant does
not plunge headlong. 1t launches it.
self on the surface, and ducks like a
grebe. It's wings are not used as pro-
pellers, but trail INTERESTINGLY level
with it's body, and the speed at which
it courses through the water is wholly
due to the swimming powers OF is
large webbed feet. These are set On
quite at the end of the body, and work
like a treadle or the floats Of q stern
wheel steamer. Yet the conditions OF
submarine motion are so favorable that
the speed of the bird below the surface
is three or four times greater than that
gained by equally rapid movements Of
the feet when it has arisen and is swim
ming on the top.
The lustre of the feathers in the clear
water, the cloud of brilliant bubbles
which pour from the plumage like the
nebulous train Of comet, as the bird
PUSHES through the water, and the sap
phire light of the large blue eye make
cormorant fishing one of the prettiest
aquatic exercises.

~ Let the reader imagine that he is
saving 81 every day of his life. Then let
him take pencil and paper and figure out
how long he would have to live to accu-
mulate the sum mentioned in the opening
paragraph. He will convince himself
while doing this that the figures are so
overwhelmingly stupendous as to be al
most past COMPREHENSIVE large for
the mind to grasp at one time. He will
find amusement in calculating how much
he could have saved from the beginning of
creation or the birth of the Christian era,
and then comparing his pigmy numerals
with those used in expressing one billion.
Yet there are men who can juggle with a
billion as easily as Sandow losses ten
pound cannon ball. They may not pos
sess a billion dollars outright, perhaps,
but they control that gigantic pile of
wealth. own the greater part of it, and
use and handle it as if it was every penny

persons before the law, the abolition
of slavery, freedom of petition, pay
ment of taxes in money instead of in

finances, While the King has promised
taxation by fixed laws, the regulation
of the expenditures of Government by

Corean students, punishment of crime
under a carefully prepared criminal
code, and the appointment of officials

Chicago Times Herald: There is Mrs.
Hetty Green. She is a woman of one
sort. Perhaps it would be more exact
to say that she is a woman of her own
kind. To be reputed to be the richest
woman in America--thatS one of her
distinctions. And this enormous wealth
has undoubtedly given to her certain
corresponding advantages. One might
fancy her to be one Of the happiest
women to be found Maybe she is. But
she doesn't appear to be so. In fact,
she has made the impression of being
one of the least contented and most
anxious Of mortals. To pay her taxes
is torture. To escape it she is said
to live in her satchel and board around
If she has ever tasted the sweetness of
a purely unselfish act she has never
made much ado about it. Possibly.
let us hope it, she is preparing for some
regular cloudburst of generosity in the
use of her millions. Then there is Mrs.
Mary A. Livermore. She is perhaps
