only counteracting the effect OF higher
quotations from Liverpool, London and
Paris. but also wiping out about half q

United Kingdom aud France.
With the exception that the weather
was more favorable for seeding, the home
prospects were not better, but that one

STALKING THE OSTRICH
How the Bushman Gets Within Ar.
row Shot of Him.

The Bushman divests himself OF all his
membranes; water vessels. food, cloak,
assegai and sandals are all left behind.
Stark naked, except for tho hide patch
about his middle, : and armed with his
bow, arrows and knife, he sets forth, says
Longman's Magazine. Tho nearest
ostrich Is feeding moro than mile away,
and there is no covert but the long-sun-
dried, yellow grass, but that is enough
for tho Bushman. Worming himself over
the ground with tho greatest caution, he
crawls ilat on his belly toward the bird
No serpent could traverse the grass with
less disturbance. In the space of IN hour
and n half he has approached within 100
yards of the tall bird. Nearer he dare
not creep on tho baro plain, and at more
than twenty five PAGES he cannot trust his
light reed arrows. He lies patiently
hidden In tho grass, his bow and arrow
roady in front OF him. trusting that the
ostrich may draw nearer.
It il n long wait under the blazing sun,
closo on two hours, but his instinct serves
him, and at last, rs the sun shifts a
little, tho great ostrich feeds that way.

but he moves not a muscle. Closer and

and tiny yellowish arrow sticks we'll

wing feathers. Now the stricken bird

speeds forth into tho plain. But kwanect
is quito content. The poison of those
two arrows will do tho work effectually.
