ostrich is one of the wisest and most
wary. About the dwellings of white
settlers, who have neither tho time

nc becomes so tame that no uncon-
cernedly mingles with tho poultry
and milk cows as if he, too, were do
mesticated. He is always fearful of
men on horseback, but is not at all
disturbed by tho approach of people
on foot unless they arc followed by

plains he often associates with the
deer CT the guanaco, and an alarm
Of any kind will send them rushing

A Thread From the Earth to a Star.


Professor Ball, the astronomer
royal of Ireland and one of the most
popular astronomical writer's in
Great Britain, has finished curious
calculation on the distance to the
nearest of the fixed stars" The
calculation was inspired by visit
to one of the great Lancashire thread
factories. The superintendent of one
OF the factories inspected by the as
tronomer informed the star gazer
that the combined output of the va
rlous Lancashire thread factories
! was 155, 600, 600 miles of thread per
day. Those figures were certainly
enough to astonish any one unless
1t should be an astronomer Profess.
or Ball has long since passed the
point where he expresses surprise at
u string Of tig1ros which represent
even billions of miles. Instead OF
falling stunned at the thread mans
fest he p"ralyzed the manufacturer
of cotton filamonts by telling hin
that il all tho factories in Ian
Cashire should work day and night
pro uoing 155, 900, 600 miles {
thread every II hours, it would TAX
the m 200 years to spin a thread Ion,
enough to reach from the earth /,
the nearest of tho fixed stars. st

THE FRONT OF TIE HOUSE,
Floral Decorations That Go Toward Max
ing Homo Attractive.

Floral Decorations That Go Toward Max.
ing Homo Attractive.
During the past few years there
has been an Increasing tendency on
the part of those who are possessed
OF any space at the front of their
dwellings, to utilize it as much as
| possible in order to make their
homes bright and attractive, and to
this end window boxes are used.
which for at least six months of the
year can be kept gay with flowers.
The practice, too, of covering the
fronts of houses with climbing
Enthusiastically within tho pre-
cincts of q town-has much to rec
ommend it, and the plants one may
employ for this purpose are so nu-
merous that any one, novice though
one may be, having a desire to en-
bellish that spot called "home" may
do so at a very small cost and with
comparatively little trouble, provid-
ing that due consideration is given
to variety, time of planting and at.
mospheric surroundings.
1t is beyond question that plants
thrive best in pure atmosphere;
hence it is that the gardener in town
is under disadvantage when CON-
pared with any one residing in the
country. Notwithstanding this draw
back and the fact that many live
in congested thoroughfares, town
dwellings may be made very beauti-
full with foliage coverings.
For the front of house, for DOR
ticos or for any position where TO-
liage is required there is no plant
so eminently fitted for the purpose
and none which has achieved such
great popularity of recent years as
the ampelopsis family, and whether
it is seen rambling over some cot
tage in the country or identifying
some modern residence in a busy
city thoroughfare in both instances
it is quickly established and adapts
itself to its surroundings, even
though the atmosphere of the vicin-
ity is not all that is desirable.
There are several varieties of am
pelopsis which may be used, but
mono so largely employed as Ampe-
lopsis veitchii, as, being a somewhat
rampant grower, it quickly envel-
ops the space at its disposal, cover
ing frequently from eight to ten feet
during season.
Another great point in it's favor
lies in the fact that when once plant
ed it needs very little care after
ward, the shoots requiring no nail
ing Gas is the case with the ivy, Gle
mats, etc.. The young tendrils
which put out from the stems cling
so tenaciously to brick or stone
work or any rough surface as to
make them quite independent of
any other support
The young plants, which can be
procured Of any nUEist very cheaply,
should be planted early in the sea-
son, giving them a start in some !
nice loamy soa, planting them close |
up to the wall they are to cover,
and gently fastening the shoots SO
as to give them fair start.
The foliage, too, of the ampelopsis
is neat and does not harbor insects.
as do some creepers, and adds great
ly to the charm of a dwelling by it's
beautiful bright green foliage in
early summer, which, as the autumn
assumes delicate
brown, changing as the weeks ad-
vance to brilliant red and giving
to the walls a wealth of color. Phil
