They stoutly resist any liberties in the
way of Harvesting, one method of de-
feating this object being to lie on their
backs and kick. They jump very
fair height, and descend opening their
wings like parachute. Their antics
and attitudes, in fact, are innumerable,
and they have half a dozen ways of
sitting down. One thing, however, they
do not do, is to hide their heads in the
sand or its English substitute. The
birds are excessively stupid in some
things-for instance, in trying to get
through small apertures; and a very
low railing, about three feet high, snf-
fees to keep them within bounds, in
spite of their jumping powers. They
show no disposition to roam. 1t can
not be said that they earn their living,
but they are amusing, and form /,
singular and attractive feature in an
English landscape. With the exception
of slight hiss, they are silent, which
is more than can be said of peacocks,
or many other ornamental birds. It is
quite possible that, as the ostriches get
regularly acclimatized in England
they will develop an extra thick crop
of feathers to resist the cold, and will
therefore become more valuable.

tale of Ouida's. Seven years ago
there came to this section of the coun.
try Thomas Dulaine Cronan, a young
Irishman, a stalwart chap, cookbook
ing, well-dressed, well-educated, and
with the manners of man of the
world He came over to look after the
interests of an English syndicate with
large holdings near Bismarck.
His ponsor was Moreton Frewen,
the noted English advocate of bimetal-
lism, who visited the United States last
fall to write of the strenuous cam
paign of the free silver men for the
London Times. Cronan one night
rode into Medora, the town established
by Marquis de Mores, when that
young French nobleman embarked on
his fantastic enterprise of raising cat
tie for the worlds markets, and at the
same time running the beef monopoly
established and maintained by Chi
cago's big Four" and found mob
surrounding the Jail.
The mob was c1amoring for the life
of an Indian who was a prisoner in
the Jail charged with horse stealing.
A plucky little deputy sheriff was on
the steps of the Jail "standing off, the
mob by his pistols. Cronan leaped
from his horse, and actuated by GU
riosity to see such wild western
scene as lynching,. shouldered his
way into the mob. While listening to
the imploring speeches of the deputy
sheriff and the threats and curses of
the crowd of lynchers, he saw an In
dian girl, blanketed and moccasined,
darling hither and thither among the
| clamorous throng, frantically and tear
fully making plea in Sioux, tongue
unknown to the tenderfoot from Ire
land.
Cronan quickly learned that she was
the daughter of the accused Indian, for
whose life the mob was clamoring.
Struck by her beauty and helplessness,
Cronan forced his way through the
throng, and, leaping up on the steps
beside the little deputy sheriff, drew his
| weapons and added his voice to the
pleadings of the deputy sheriff. Gro
mans e1oquence, added to the officers,
| was effective, and the mob dispersed.
The next day the Indian proved an
alibi and was released. Cronan sought
out the Indian girl, the life of whose
father he had been instrumental in
saving. He found her in a miserable
unclean tepee in the indian camp on
the outskirts of the town. He fell in
| love with her. His love making was
all in the sign language, for Cronan
could not speak word of Sioux, and
Picture Eye was equally ignorant of
English.
Cronan again returned to England,
but not until he had made arrange
ments for Picture Eyes education.
When he saw his bride next he found
her demure, pretty, well-dressed,
well-educated girl, thoroughly well
able to hold her place in any society,

BURDENED WITH APRICO7S.

able to Handle 1t.
Fruit growers in California are
amazed at the extent of the apricot
crop. The quantity of the fruit COM
ing in is simply overwhelming, and it
would seem that every tree in the val
ley had this year taken to bearing the
luscious cot. The driers are unable
to take care of the fruit coming in, and
are forced to reject much of it after it
is picked. One man who could not dis
pose of his apricots after they were
picked dumped two tons by the road
side, and there are number of growers
who will not attempt to harvest their
crops.
Any losses sustained in this way, how
ever, are due to the neglect of the grow
ers to make preparations for handling
the fruit in time. The associations are
handling all the fruit of their mem
bers, and there are number of driers
at work with large forces of men, wom-
en- and children. But it is impossible to
secure enough help to handle the fruit.
Calls for 100 cutters are posted in the
post office, and probably 200 people
could get employment to-day There
are very few of the growers who are
prepared to handle their own fruit, and
as consequence those who are not in
the associations are obliged to sell their
fruit or let it go to waste.
One effect of the glut of apricots will
be to somewhat improve the quality of
the dried fruit sent out, as some pains
are being taken to discriminate as to
the quality of the fruit to be rejected.
1t has been suggested that large part
OF the fruit going to waste should be
given to the poor people. But those
people are at work in the driers for as
many hours per day as they choose to
work, and probably would prefer to
draw wages than to put in their time
drying fruit for themselves.

IOWA TAKES THE LEAD.
FIRST western state to Begin Build
ing OF Permanent Roads.


ing OF Permanent Roads.
Iowa, from the first, has taken lead
ing part among the advocates of i'm
proved roads and highways, and per-
haps nothing has more contributed to
that position than the paper dealing
with the financial phase of the good
roads question, read by Judge Thayer,
of Clinton, at Council Bluffs, Ia, four
years since. That paper was replete
with facts and arguments in favor OF
improved means of intercommunica-
ton between towns and cities, and the
United States department of agricul.
ture, fully approaching it's value, re.
printed it and scattered it broadcast
and it has helped materially in educat.
ing public opinion up to full recogni.
ton of the Importance of the subject
as great national one. Iowa has now
commenced practical exemplifcatior
of its faith in the matter. The super.
V1sors of Scott county have recently
bought large gravel bank and a stone
quarry and has several gangs of men
at work on different roads, and will
soon have solved the question of per-
manent highways. They are fortunate
in having the material necessary for
road making so near at hand. Their
method is. after grading, to lay depth
of six inches of rock, and two inches
of macadam are laid on this, and over
the whole two inches of gravel are laid.
Culverts of boiler steel are placed in
fills, hills are being graded; and, when
the good work is finished, the pauper
labor of the county will be employed,
as far as possible, in keeping the sur
face of the roads in order. 1t could be
wished all the counties of Iowa and
other states needing improved roads
were as favorably situated both as re-
CARDS roadmaking material, and also
that other necessary-funds-as Scott
county seems to be. It gets $4,000
year from her saloons, and her road tax
raises this to $4,000 year, and is all
available for road purposes. The cost
of the 16-foot road now in formation
is between IS and 40 cents running
foot. The average cost per mile of
the improved road-''fne as any pike"
is $4,000. Here is an object lesson in
road making which should be taken to
heart By good roads advocates in other
localities, especially those which have
the natural advantages of supply of
gravel or stone available.-Journal of
Agriculture.

HOW PLANTS FEED.
They Draw Sustenance from the Air
as Well as the Soil.

as Well AS the Soil.
Bulletin 48, Utah experiment station:
It may be interesting before we pass
on the experiment proper to explain in
very general way how plant obtains
its food. The substances which make
up the ash of the plant, the water
which it contains, and most of the nitro
gen of the combustible portion are
taken from the soil and the air through
the roots; while all the carbon and
some of the nitrogen are taken from
the air by means of the leaves. When
a plant burns, the carbon or charcoal
it contains unites with the oxygen of
the air to form an invisible gas, usu-
ally known as carbonic acid gas. Since
the burning of charcoal in one form or
another is always going on at the
earth's surface, it follows that the air
we breathe, the atmosphere about us,
must contain considerable quantities OF
carbonic acid gas. The green coloring
matter of leaves, known to scientists
as chlorophyll or leafgreen, has the re-
.rnarkable property, when under proper
conditions of temperature and moist
ure, and in the presence of light, of
taking the carbonic acid gas from the
air, and of breaking it up in the cells
OF the leaf into charcoal and oxygen.
The greater part of the oxygen thus
set. free is thrown back into the atmos-
phere, while the charcoal is caused to
unite with water and other substances
found in the cells to form the various
classes of bodies that make up the
combustible parts of plants.

Work in the Garden.

d The work of the garden is never end.
ed, as many imagine. There is always
plenty to do for those who seek it and
are interested in their work. The prin-
cipal thing to do now is to keep the
crops picked clean, and as soon as they
are over to clear them away, carefully
sraking up and carting off all rubbish
AT all times there may be found bits OF
stick. stones, paper, wire, tin cans, ETC..
to mar the appearance of the grounds;
these are frequently carried there in
the manure and should always be
picked up and not thrown under the
currant bushes or into some corners in
the garden, as such cannot be hidden
from the quick eye of the employer and
should be taken clean away.-American

WOMAN AND HOME.
-OSTRiChES AS PETS.
Imported from South America by an
EnterpriafnE Irish Lady.

Imported from South America by am
. Enterprising Irish Lady. 49,.
There was once an astonishing pic
ture by Du Maurier in Punch, says
London sketch writer, representing an
imaginary scene in the London streets
under the auspices of the Acclimatiza-
ton society. In this, if remember
rightly, pair of ostriches were depict
ed as being harnessed and driven down
Piccadilly. We have not yet quite ar
rived at this pitch of civilization, though
the zebra has been seen in the park.
However, an Irish lady, Mrs. Willough-
by Fox, has, during the past few years.
amused herself with importing few
of these birds and rearing them in Sur
rey. They have been brought over when
quite young from Bahia Blanca, in La
Plata, where there are immense numbers
of ostriches in wild state. They are
somewhat smaller than their South
African congeners, and do not produce
such valuable plumes, though they
have a mass of white feathers under
their wings which are used for boas.
Nor do they require the same extern
sive area as the Cape variety, for each
specimen of which the allowance is
said to be ten acres. Mrs. Fox's birds,
however, are by no means insignificant
fowl, and are not to be confused with
the smaller bird known as the rhea.
They stand about seven feet in height,
and can run at the rate of IS miles an
hour, covering a distance of from nine
to eleven feet in their ordinary stride.
Their eggs are of the capacity of ten
hens eggs, and therefore each one
makes very respectable omelette.
The fresh eggs sent over from South
America are quite palatable, and by no
means so strong as those from the
Cape. The ostriches were brought
from Bahia Blanca when about six
months old, and apparently have
thriven in the English climate; at any
rate, they passed safely through the
recent severe winters, being, of course,
sheltered in their stables during frost.
While on board ship their diet was
matter of great difficulty, corn having
to be sown for them in the dark, so
that they might consume the green
shoots.
Once on dry land, however, they re-
gain their appetite, and live on pota-
toes, maize and green food of all kinds.
They consume fair quantity of iron
nails and such unconsidered trifies, and
are not averse to an occasional nip of
whisky and water. The ostriches do
not attain to maturity till they are
three years old, and, it seems, never
acquire any remarkable amount of in
telligence, though they have learnt to
answer to their names, and they ex-
hibit decided temper of their own
