From the Philadelphia Press.)
Tho ostrich at the Geological Garden
stood in the long yard adjoining its
cage In the deer house yesterday. 1t
gased contemptatively through the bars
Of the fence at the world beyond and
shivered every once in a while as the
cool breezes swept down upon 1t. 1t
was thinking of the difference in cli-
mates and wondering whether If it
buried one Of its eggs as 1t used to do
In the long grass during such weather
the cool wave would hatch out an ice
cream churn.
While 1t was revolving the question
In its mind a playful kitten came
through the fence into the yard. 1t
was pretty kitten-pure white. ex-
cept for few blotches that looked as
II somebody had thrown an ink bottle
at 1t. after carefully removing the cork.
The kitten went running along the yard
until 1t came to the ostrich. Thinking
its long, thick legs were young sap
lings the playful kitten gave run and
quickly climbed up them and was soon
on top of the ostrich's back.
The huge bird did not know what to
make OF 1t at first, and went cantering
around the yard as though the plague
were after 1t. Round and round 1t went
until red in the face it came to a sud
den stop. The kitten never moved. 1t
had taken firm hold of the ostrich.
and did not propose to be shaken.
Il stood the earthquake this morn
Ing" said the kitten; II guess l can
stand this"
Finding that the strange beast re-
fused to be thus summarily disposed Of
the ostrich became less scared and more
angry. 1t curled its neck and twisted its
head 80 as to get a fair look at the kit
ten. The kitten never WINGED 1t began
to think 1t had barked up the wrong
tree, but 1t was determined to see the
matter out. The ostrich aimed a blow
at the undesirable rider with its beak,
but 1t lodged. 1t tried it again, but the
result was the same. Again and again
the agile head and long neck rained
sledge-hammer blows at the tricky lit
tie kitten. 1t escaped them all, though
some were too near for comfort.
Finally the kitten got scared. 1t ran
out on the ostrich's neck to get out OF
the way. Then it smiled. The ostrich
couldn't hit 1t there. It's smile did not
last long. however. With a sudden
movement the ostrich stretched its
neck backward, encircled the kitten
round the waist, and squeezed 1t until
1t was dead. Then it unwound itself
and placidly looked at the dead animal.
After moment or two of contempla-
tion 1t picked up its victim and flung
1t as far at 1t could. Then 1t calmly re-
sumed the meditations that had been
80 ruthlessly interrupted

Fallacies about the moon are numerous,
such as that the full moon clears away the
cut down trees In the wane OF the moon !;
that 1t is a bad sign II she changes on a
Saturday or Sunday; that two full moons In
n month will cause IA flood: that to see the
old moon in the arms of the new brings on
rain, and many others, of which a catalogue
alone wouid take up good deal of space.
NJ. F'lamlnarion says that the moons influ-
ence, on the weather is negligible. The heat
reaching us from the moon would only af-
feet our temperature by twelve millionths of
a degree; and the atmospheric tides caused
by the moon would only affect the baromct.
ric pressure few huudredths of an inch-n
quantity far less than the changes which are

gloomy; but it had, nevertheless, large
room for gladness. The magnificent
collection of Psalms which have come
down to us give token that the element
of Joy predominated in the worship of
their assemblies. To this day we can
find no better expression of exultant
emotion than these songs supply. We
do not think We are wrong in asserting
that the tone of public worship today is
quite below that of the Hebrews. and
certainly below that of the early Chris
tians in gladness. In our hymns and
liturgies we use their words: but it is
seldom that in the worship of modern
congregation one is conscious Of the ex-
ultant note of joy.

beneficial properties of perfect lax

and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and il is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug
