Russian Thistle.

The so-called Russian thistle" or
"tumbleweed," has found it's way to the
vicinity of Chicago, as 1t was sure to do
sooner or later, and is causing no little
annoyance to the farmers of northern
Illinois and Indiana. 1t came, of course,
along the railway lines with the stock
cars, and great patches OF 1t are now
found on the outskirts of the city. IL
first got foothold i'm this country over
20 years ago, having been brought by
some Russian colonists who settled in
the northwest. 1t soon took firm pos
session Of the Dakotas, and began to
spread itself over a dozen other states
and territories. It is pest that prom
Uses to make more trouble than the Cam
ada thistle ever did. Already II causes

the farmers of the northwest, and itA
ravages are increasing every year. Thus
far science has been appealed to almost
in vain for some effective means of get
ting rid Of this extremely unwelcome
immigrant.-Harper's Weekly.

HEAD OF TIE OSTRICH.


Serves as q Weapon and Has Eyes That
Can Look Backward and Forward.
As q matter of fact, the head Of an
ostrich is very remarkable thing. The
bird has been put together with the
most Unmatched body, legs and head
imaginable.
With it's powerful legs 1t can over
turn horse. But its head 10 out of all
proportion to the rest of its body, and
is equipped in a very curious way TO do
the hard work required of it.
An ostrich's head is shaped very much
like steel hand punch.
1t Is usually about II inches long,
made up of about equal parts of head
and beak. The ostrich has no forehead,
the top line of the long beak continu-
Ing to the back of the head. There are
besides no projections from 1t Of any
kind. There is no nose, the bird breath
| ing through holes in the beak. The ears
are placed 30 far back of the head that
they lap over the back Of the head with
out projecting the fraction of an inch.
The head tapers from the knob at
the back of the head to the point OF the
beak, and is so smooth that blow
would glance off without doing any
damage. An ostrich uses its head as
weapon in fighting, and it can deal
deadly blows with this curious, ham,
mer-like instrument. The head is
formed of bones which have no air cells
like ordinary bones and are almost as
hard as iron.
An ostrich's mouth or beak is capa-
BILE of tackling any kind of food. The
stomach of an ordinary able-bodied os-
trich Graves diet of broken glass,
stones, nails and similar appetizing
foods.
This curious mouth chews mp these
dainties and prepares them for diges-
ton. The ostrich is about the only
living thing in the world, except n
politician, that can look both ways at
once. 1t can look backward and for
ward at the same time without the
least effort. They are very nervous
birds, as they live among wild animals
much stronger than themselves. Their
nervousness makes it very hard to
catch them. The eye of an ostrich Is a
little larger than silver dollar. BY
observing closely one will see the eye
is so convex that IL stands out about
an inch from the side of the head. The
eye is so situated on the side of the
hammer-like head that it may be seen
from the rear and front.
The optic of the big bird is always
very alert. Nothing escapes its at
tention. The eye of one of these wary
ostrich keeps his eyelids carefully
tucked away all day and uses them only
at night. The eye is so large and so ex
posed that it needs some protection,
and so 1t has bountiful fringe of
lashes. These are enough to make any
woman envious. They are more than
an inch in length. and suggest fine lace
awnings.-N. Y. World.

The great project of bridging over
I'alk's strait, separating the island Of
Ceylon from the mainland of India, for
which such important advantages are
claimed, is said to be again under con-
sideration by the government of Ceylon.
The strait is some IL miles broad ut it's
narrowest point, being double the width
of the English channel, but it is very
shallow, in many places being not more
than six feet deep. The islands, reefs
and channels in IL have been recently
accurately surveyed and mapped, and
the cost of the work, extending over
81 miles, including the Pamban chan
mel and the Adams Bridge reef, is esti-
mated to reach some 5000, 900 rupees.
The plan of work contemplates the con-
nection of the ends by 145 miles of rail-
road with Colombo, the great harbor OF
Ceylon, on one side, and by 90 miles OF
road with Modura, the nearest point of
the Indian railroad system, on the
other. II narrow gauge Is used this can
be done, IL is calculated, for II, 900 900
rupees more.-St. Louis Republic.

Some men are able to joke in the

tells the following story of an incident
which occurred during battle of the

When the battle began the surgeon
of certain regiment was in his proper
place at the rear Of the men. He had
deposited his instruments under tree
and crept along in the rear of the troops
until he saw the men beginning to fall.
Then he ran back as fast as he could to

he dashed back in the direction from
which he had come, and the officers
realized that they had been sold.-
