The stock illustration Of what a fool
will do is the habit which ostriches have
of sticking the head into the sand, leav-
ing the body exposed, but the author of
1.-The Gold Diggings Of Cape Horn"
says that this habit does not seem fool
ish to one who studies the ostrich in its
desert home. On the contrary. it is ma
lures wise provision for the safety of
the bird III u region where hiding places
are scarce.
The male ostrich matches out the eggs,
looks after the brood, keeps his eyes
open for men, beasts and birds, and
sounds a loud snorting, warning call
when he sees an enemy. The brood,
when warned, fades out of sight. Each
chick squats motionloss, its head in the
sand, and its body so near in color to
that of the sand and scant herbagc as to
deceive even an experienced hunter.
Its body looks like a gray desert bush,
and the gauChos-the cowboys of the
pampas-when searching for young os.
triches examine every bush within many
rods of the spot where a brood disap.
pears. Often what seemed o bush is
found to be in part or wholly q young
ostrich. With its head up the bird would
be at once detected. With its head in
the sand, it often escapes even the keen
eyed fox.

Bryan Magnetism.

Nothing in the present campaign
is more remarkable than the unlver-
sal testimony to the magnetism Of
BRYAN, offered not only by his own
supporters, but by the correspon-
dents OF j. rnals by which he is Bit
terly opposed.
The correspondent of the New York
World has made it the chief theme
of the contributions OF that paper.
Notwithstanding its opposition to
him. Henry George has described it
in glowing terms in the New York
Journal, and here are the words in
which it is portrayed by Julian Haw-
horne:
Never can 1 cease to be affected
by these outstretched, upreaching
hands, crowded together. striving to
touch the hand of the man of their
hope; hands knotty and gnarled, but
each one with a heart in it. Strange,
unknown creatures shoulder their
way to the platform on which he
stands; figures grimy with the soil of
the field and smoke of the factories.
Tee buried Titan is bestir-
ring himself. He feels dimly that he
is strong; he begins to realize that
nothing is SO strong as he. He is
getting TO his feet"
A man who can attract such
crowds and awaken so much enthus-
iasm must surely triumph eventually
even with the combination of Doodle
and bossism arrayed against him.

Awnings Over the Streets In Seville.

The busiest streets and squares are
kept cool and dim under awnings. On
the whole, think it was these awnings
that made Seville so charming in Au-
gust. There had been few in Cordova.
! have been to more than one town
which raises similar protection against
Provencal sunlight, but l have never
come across them when they were as
elaborate, as general and as effective
as in Seville. In the narrow streets they
stretched from housetop to housetop at
each end. dropping in a great inclosing
wall of canvas so low as just to escape
the heads of the high saddled horsemen
who pranced under them. In the large
squares they extended in checkerboard
arrangement, with intricate ropes and
pulleys which 1 never tried to under
stand. content to enjoy the result Of
black shadows alternating with great
splotches Of sunlight. Even the town
hall spread out an awning all across the
wide sidewalk in front of it and not a
hotel or bank or palace or big house did
we enter that had not its courts as well
protected. r. Penneu in

Causes of Nervousness.

The maladies which above all Others cause
are dyspepsia, biliouspess aud
constipation. The great sympathetic nerve
which connects tie epigastric reSion with the

ach and bowels are disordered; permanent de-
rar cement of the functions Of thoes organs

eoy the nervous complaints which originate IN
alimentary weakness or disturbances. They are
the very best nervine that csn be used. BY
ersdicaung the exciting causes OF nervous weaA-
ness they overcome the disability Itself. But
This lie not ali. By checking the msladi.s which
cause nervousness. they build up anew the eys-

In the reign of James " of Scotland,
John O'Groat and his two brothers,
Malcolm and Gavin, arrived at Cath
ness and bought the estates of Warse
and Dugisby, situated on the northern
extremity of the mainland of Scotland.
In time their family increased until
there were eight households of the same
name. They lived as relatives and
neighbors in peace and amity and held
yearly reunions in the original O'Groat
house. At last the question of precedence
arose among the younger members, and
they disputed as to who should enter the
room first or sit at the head of the table
Old Johnnie O'Groat was made arbi-
traitor of the dispute. He promised that
before the next meeting he would settle
the matter to the satisfaction of all
Accordingly he built an eight sided
house in which to hold the annual bail
Quet. This octagonal house was fitted
with door and a window ON each side
and a round table in the center of the
room, SO that the head Of each family
Of the O'Groats might enter by his own
door and then sit at a table which was
practically and actually without a
''head. John O'Groat's house became
the best known building i'll Great Brit
ain. Its site is now marked only by
some grass covered mounds.-St Louis

Whether elected or defeated, w. j.
Bryan has proven the ideal candidate.
II elected his victory will be all the
more significant and grand because
Of what he has had to contend with;
if defeated he has no occasion to re-
prOach himself, for he has nObly led
a noble cause and he has so elo-
quently said, one that will not perish
with today's election no matter what
the result. The American people are
for bimetallism and whether they
accomplish it this time or not it will
eventually come. No influence has
been neglected by the money powers
to insure Bryan's defeat, yet he has
met the situation courageously, and
has displayed the mental. moral aud
physical qualities Of giant. With the
exertions of wealth, of corporations
and of large percentage Of the met
ropolitan press against him, he stood
up and chsmpioned his cause. Such
an example OF calm craftsmanship.
such msgnanimity at all times, such
consideration for those who differ,
such eloquence, such force of char
acter, and such splendid ability
have not been excelled before the
American people before. Bryan has
chal enged the admiration of those
who may at the outset have been
less impressed with him than others,
and those who differed at first are
now among the most devoted and
constant of his friends and admirers.
Whether as president or as private
citizen. the name of BryauEwill al
ways be cheered throughout the
length and breadth of the land.

They Suggest the Ceaselcss Activity of the
Youthful Minds.
Many Of his questions cannot be con-
nected with his reading, but appear to
result from reasoning or recognized
analogy. "How do plants make them
selves bigger when they grow" he ask
ed when we were talking about plant
ing his garden. 1 heard him saying to
himself, "Wildless. wildless." asked
him what he was talking about. and he
replied: about plants that are not
wild. What are they called:" Garden
or cultivated plants l answered.
What made yen say Widest"
why" said he, II knew that harm
less means something that wouldn't do
any harm, and so wildless means plants
that are not wild" He mentioned the
fall, and asked him what he raeant by
fall. He replied: 1.-The winter at first;
the first of il. Do they call it fall be-
cause everything is falling?"
There was some talk about dressing
him or putting on his dress. and, rea.
soning from analogy, he asked, "When
God puts the skin on people, is that
skinning them:'' / once read of the
people in the moon being like grasshop-
pers and told him about it. When i had
finished the story, he said: "When we
look up in the sky, we see the moon
rolling or above us, and when the peo-
pie i'll the moon look up in the sky they
see the earth rolling along above them.
What is the strange puzzle about that"
told him that his specimen of mica
was silicate Of potash, and he asked !:
why is mica silicate of potash-be-
cause they put ashes in pot:''
These questions have been recorded
to represent an innumerable number I'M
recorded and to show the wide range of
thought and the variety of reasonings
that a child under years of age may
have. They show his natural method of
acquiring knowledge, but they can on
| ly suggest the ceaseless activity Of his
mind during all his waking hours. -
