Taking Sides.

John Alexander Macdonald was born
in Glasgow, but at five years of age
was carried by his parents to Canada,
where his education must have been o.
a meagcr kind, for at the age of fifteen
he was earning his living in a lawyers
Office. At twcnty-one he was called to
the bar; and in his first case came to
blows with the opposing counsel, to the
scandal of the Judge, who told Tie cricr
to enforce order. This cricr was an
old man, personally much attached to
Mr.. Macdonald, in whom he took a
lively interest. In pursuance Of his
duty, however, he was compelled to in
tcrfere. Moving toward the combat
ants, and circling round them, he
shouted in stentorian tones: "Ordcr in
the court, order in the court" adding
in low, but intensely sympathetic
voice rs he passed near his protege:
"TIit him, joint" 1 have heard Sir John
Macdonald say that in many q parlia-

Charity Is one Of the noblest virtues,

A Philadelphia lady, whose warmness

elderly man, who called once n month
with the regularity of rent collector,
and always introduced himself by say
ing;
"You remember me, don't you, lady?
I'm the reformed man"
This slightly obscure reference to his
past was always accepted as n guaran-
tee of his present merit, with the re-
suit that dime was handed out as an
incentive to remain reformed.
One morning he called as usual and
made his usual speech

The reformed mans countenance,
half of this speech, frightened up wish

"Oh, can change the bill," he said,
cheerfully.
"Can you?" said the lady, just us
cheerfully. "Then FL get it."
She brought the bill and the re-
formed man counted out the change
from pocketful of notes and silver, and
then went on his way after fervent
''Thank you"
When evening camo and the lady's
husband returned home, the incident
was related at the ten-table, and the
husband, after an amazed stare, lay

REGARDING oSTRICHES.
The Big Birds Can Run Fully Thirty Miles
an Hour.

The Big Birds Can Run Fully Thirty Miles
an Hour.
Those who assert that the ostrich
lives on broken glass and iron nails are
not quite right; but that it swallows
pebbles to assist its digestion, as do
many other birds on Il lesser scale, when
metal, or what not, when in state of
captivity, for the same purpose, is most
undoubtcd.
The strength of the ostrich is quite
equal to carrying man on its back at
rapid rate of progression. The ne
groes often use it for riding purposes.
DIR. Livingstone tells us that the legs
of an ostrich running at full speed can
no moro be seen than the spolles in
gallop.
The ostrich can run thirty miles an
hour, and the Arabs would never be
able to overtalSe them but for the
strategens employed. They first follow
them for day or two, without press
ing too closely, but sufficiently to pre-
vent them taking food. When they
have tired out the hungry bird, they
pursue it at full speed, and, taking adj
vantage of fact well known to them
that the ostrich always describes a
curve in it's coursc-themselvcs make
q direct straight 'short cut" and so
gradually get within reach.
Each adult bird produces about half
pound of white and three pounds of
black feathers. Those from tho male
bird are mos. highly esteemed, and all
arc in best condition when pluclscd
from the living bird.

delight of the children. Tho first time
he visited them they admired his
beautiful green coat, but very much
to their astonishment the next time he
came his color had changed to brown.
They soon discovered that he had va
ricty of coats; indecu, he seems to
have rare taste in dress, and is always
able to make himself harmonize with
his surroundings.
Tino's principal diet is live flies. The
boys bring him q supply of these every
morning and never tire of watching
him dart out his long, forlscd tongue
and catch his victims. His favorite
resting-placc is q large plant that stands
near the door of the dressing-room.
Here he will stay for hours in n sort Of
stupid state, but one day he must have
decided that ii was time for him to
make some explorations. Just us school
was closing, some of the children no.
ticcd that he was not in his usual place,
and Immediately began n search for
him. They looked In every possible
IAi2ing-placc, but all to no purpose.
Tino was not to be found.
They were almost in despair, when
ono Of the boys went to tho dressing
room, and donning his ovorcoat started
for home. AS no raised his arm to open
the door, there was Tino, clinging to
his sleeve and looking up at him with
his saucy, bright eyes, as though he
had enjoyed the hunt.
The children were delighted to find
their pet. Since then Tino has had
to wear long yellow ribbon, so he
could not so easily hide from his little
friends. --Myna L. Gaylord, in Our Lit

Crabs Marching to the Sea.

A curious point in the history of tho
West Indian land crab Is the fact that
every year, when the rciny season has
set In, they make great excursion to
the sea. Straight as bco to its hive,
they march to the coast. If wall or
rock comes in their way, they climb
over il instead of going around. II q
house is the obstacle, they will seek to
get through the doors or windows; but,
u this is not possible, they will climb
over it. Those that fall back from
considerable hcights and get damaged
In the tumble serve as food for their
companions. So closely do these crabs
march together, that the noise of their
shelly armor as they jostlc each other
resembles tho rnttling of the arms and
acooutroments of regincnt of cuirns-
