An OSTRICH AND Ahor potato
An Aaualng Story Of Greed and How
II Was Punished.

An Amusing story Of Greed ard How
II Was Punished.
For odd appetites the goat and the
ostrich stand supreme, with the ostrich
Just a step ahead. And yet an ostrich
finds trouble in swallowing hot pota-
to. A South African writer tells an
amusing story of greed and how it was
punished. He says:
'sThese ostriches were a source OF
endless trouble to ms. They grew rap
idly and developed great kicking pow
ers, until they became positively dan
gerous, the dogs and the Kafirs coming
in for most of their attentions. Their
appetite was Unsuitable. We used to
make large quantities of biltong, or sun
dried meat, and there were usually
dozens of strips Of it hanging on rheims
slung from wagon to wagon. and these
were always objects Of attention on the
part of the ostriches.
ut was most amusing to see one try
ing to swallow q strip yard long and
two inches thick, just AZ chicken strug-
giles with worm that is little too big
for it. Once we had to drag . huge
strip out of one of the birds threats to
save it from choking.
"But it was the culinary department
that interested them most. They would
always attack the Kaffirs bringing the
viands from the kitchen to the tent,
and sometimes were 30 pertinacious
that the boys would get frightened and
throw the dish away and bolt, and We
would lose the best part of our dinner.
''They would even come into the tent
and snatch things OF the table, and we
would take it out of them by smother
ing dainty morsel with salt and cay.
enne pepper; but after awhile they
seemed to flourish on it.
Zone day, however, we got the laugh
on our side. Dinner was preparing and
one Of the birds was investigating the
pots around the fire. A great pot Of
huge potatoes took his fancy, and he
incontinently seized and swallowed a
red hot tuber as big As large pome.

"yIe danced, he jumped. he kicked, he
twisted his neck about almost into
knots, he tapped his wings and wag-
gled his tail, he ran amuck, knocking
things down and banging himself up
against the wagons and stone walls. and
at last tore away into the weld at 20m miles
an hour until he was out Of sight, and
did not appear again for a couple OF
hours.
Every morning soon after sunrise
these birds would indulge in dance
They would rush away into the weld foz
about a mile, and then suddenly stop
and commence waltzing round and
round in the most ridiculous fashion,
often till they dropped. I never could
understand the meaning Of this per-
formance. It might be mere gambol.

NeArNess IN THE HOME.

How to Bring . BOY Up - he Quiet
and Orderly.
Iwonder If the mother when training
her boy with a helpful, useful manhood
in view ever thinks Of the possible and
very probable wife whom her son some
day may have?
As the mother sows % will the wife
reap. Jnculcate, II possible, habits of
neotness; do not allow him when he
comes into the house to throw his coat
upon one chair. his hat upon another;
it may be easy for you to pick up after
him, but maybe in the years to come it
will be less easy for the young wife, and
sjust as the twig is bent the trees in

know a young wife who takes great
pride in doing the work Of her little
home, but whose duties are doubled by
. careless, untidy husband muddy
rubbers worn into the house, collars
and ties thrown upon the eideboard,
overcoat dropped upon the first con-
venient chair or couch. When his wife
asks him to be more careful he says,
laughlingly and dthoughtlessly: 'sMother
always picked up after me, why can't
you?" 1t is selfish in the man, but the
real fault goes further back. for, as he
says: Mother always picked up after
me-" and, as the old saying is: "It's
hard to teach an old dog new tricks"
If that mother had been more mind
full Of her duty toward the boy whose
early training had been intrusted to her
If she had been less thoughtless of her
grave responsibility resting upon her
he would have beena different man. He
would have grown up with a love for
order and tidiness; he would have been
more thoughtful and considerate. and
throughout his life would have con-

FATE OF FARMERS WIFE.

Terrible Crime Discovered Near Co.
lumbus, o.
Columbus, o., March 31.-The body of
Mrs. John Miller, wife of farmer liv-
ing in the eastern part of the county,
was found in mutilated condition
Tuesday morning, hidden in the
barn. AS the hired man was missing, it
is suspected THAT he assaulted and killed
her in her husbands absence. The name
of the hired man is Frank Miller. He
came along as a tramp last September
and was employed by Farmer Miller as
farm hand. The hands of Mrs.
Miller were tied behind her back, leav-
ing little doubt that she had been as
saulted, and her head was badly hacked
with an ak.
Miller was captured at Harlem, Del
aware county, by officers from this city
late Tuesday afternoon, and hurried to
the city prison here, where he is safe
from the excited farmers in the neigh
borhood of the Miller farm. He de-
MES that he killed Mrs. Miller and ex-
plains his running away by saying that
he had quarrel with his employer
and feared he would kill him. His
clothes were found to be saturated with
blood, and some of the Irvine with which
Mrs. Miller's hands were tied was found
III his pocket. The evidence is over
whelming against him.

Turkish Troops.
London, March 31.-A dispatch to the
Central News from Athens states that
strong force ofinsurgents on Tuesday
attacked the Turkish troops at Spina
Tonga, Crete. The troops made des-
perate defense of their positions, but
could not withstand the determined on
slaught of the Christians, and were
finally compelled to retreat. There was
heavy fighting throughout the engage
1nent. The dispatch adds that vessel
lying in the harbor of Spinalonga, laden
with ammunition and other stores, was
captured by the insurgents, who re-
moved the captured supplies to places
out of reach of the Turks.
Canea, March :il.-The insurgents OF
Tuesday attacked the town of Izzedin
which caused the warships to lombard
them. Later the place was occupied by
a mixed detachment of international
troops.
Athens, March 31.-Crown Prince Con-
stantine has formally assumed the COM
pland of the Greek troops in Thessaly.
He issued an order to the army in which
he expressed his conviction that at this
critical hour, when the fatherland was
being weighed in the balance, allwould
do their duty, be faithful to their oath,
exhibit patience and lirmness and obey
the law and their commanders.
London, March a1.-1'he Canea cor
respondent of the Standard telegraphs
that the blockade of Crete by the pow
ers is not enforced as severely as it
would be in the case of actual war. Pro
visions are landed daily. Hitherto only
half dozen small craft which had al
ready landed their cargoes have been
| captured. The dispatch adds that there
was heavy firing at Suda Tuesday night
and it is supposed that the insurgents
attempted to surprise the fort. The at
tack was probably repealed with the
assistance of the shells and the use OF
the searchlights of the war ships.
