How Ostriches Run.

Considerable misconception preyails
as to the manner In which the ostrich
runs. 1t seems to be still generally
held that when running 1t spreads out
Its wings, and aided by them skins
lightly over the ground. This is not
correct. When a bird really settles it.
self to run 1t holds Its head lower
than usual and a little forward, with a
deep loop In the neck. The neck VI
brates sinuously, but the head remains
steady, thus enabling the bird, even at
top speed to look around with unshak-
en- glance in any direction. The wings
lie along the sides about on a level
with or a little higher than the back
and are held loosely, Just free of the
plunging thigh" There Is no attempt
to hold them extended or to derive any
assistance from them as organs OF
fight. When an ostrich, after a hard
run, Is very tired its wings sometimes
droop; this Is due to exhaustion. They
are never, by a running bird exertinp
itself to the utmost. held out away
from the sides to tighten its weight or
increase its pace. But the wings appear
to be OF great service In turning. en-
abling the bird to double abruptly even
when going at top speed. -From the

Biggest Pudding Ever Cooked.

In 171S, we are told, James Austin, a
London trader, invited his customers
to a feast. A pudding was promised,
which was to be boiled fourteen days
instead OF seven hours. 1t weighed 900
pounds. The copper for boiling 1t
was erected at the Red Lion In South
wark park, where crowds went to see
1t; and when boiled II was to be con-
veyed to the Swan tavern. Fish street
hill, to the tune of "Wha Lumps OF
Pudding My Mother Gave Me-" The
place, however. was changed to the
Restoration gardens in st. Georges
fields. In consequence of the numerous
company expected. When the day ar
rived, the pudding set GU in process
sion, with banners. streamers, drums,
etc, but on the way a mob attacked 1t
and made spoil OF the whole. So near
ly half a ton of pudding was distribute
ed, much against the will of the pro-
p%rietor, among the London poor,-Ex-

there. Others returned With Young to
bring out those who had stayed be-
hind.
They took with them rations for q
year. They were told of the sufferings
they must endure. Yet they travelled
the fifteen hundred miles gladly. They
made their homes in the rcpellant
land because Brigham Young told them
that there they would thrive and be-
come mighty.
Young has received his need of praise.
He was a truly great leader of men
and one Of the greatest colonists the
world has ever known. His people be-
lieved In him because they were sure
he received revelations from God.
Brigham Young was always a great
hand at receiving revelations,
Brigham Young was trained az a
farmer. II was he who designed and
directed the system Of irrigation which
made the land productive. The Nor
mons wrcsted their living from the soil
by main strength. Verify they made
the desert blossom as the rose.
II was Brigham Young who created
the whole system Of Mormonism. who
counselled his people to gather In vii
lagos and towns. II Is plain q that
1t was ever his aim to have the Nor
mons bound together by the closest
ties.
No sooner were the first ~colonists
firmly established than missionaries
were sent forth to gain converts. and
this has been followed to this very
day. II was Young who provided fol
the tithing system. witch insured tina
the church should become rich beyond
measure. II was Brigham Young wh'
made the church the dominant force
the real leader and government.
No ruler of an absolute monarchy
no feudal lord ever had more powe
over his subjects than Brigham Youn,
over the Mormons. And the power an,
wealth of the Mormons prove that h,
was a wise and really great leader.
But Brigham Young was an advocate
of polygamy and he practiced what h
preached to a greater extent than an.

Young was never accused Of being
fanatic.

The celebration of the scmi-Centon-

the most important event in the his

more than the anniversary OF the set

brave Deed Of u Lighthouse Girl at Ma
tInIcus Rock.

Several of the violent storms that
have whirled over the Matinicus rock
have tried the fortitude OF the little
band of faithful watchers upon 1t, says
the Century Magazine. One OF these
watchers. Abby Burgess. has become
famous in our lighthouse annals, not
only for long service, but also for
bravery displayed on various occas-
ions. Her father was keeper OF the
rock from 1853 to 1861. In January,
1856, when she was II years of age, he
left her in charge Of the lights while
he crossed to Matinicus Island. His
wife was an invalid. his son was away
were little girls. The follow
ing day 1t began to breeze
up" the wind increased to a
gale and soon developed into a storm
almost as furious as that which carried
away the tower on Minots ledge in
1851. Before long the seas were sweep
ing over the rock. Down among the
powders was a chicken coop which
Abby feared might be carried away.
On a lonely ocean outpost like Matinl-
Gus rock a chicken is regarded with
affectionate interest, and Abby solicit
tous for the safety OF the inmates of
the little coop, waited her chance, and
when the seas fell off a little rushed
knee deep through the swirling water
and rescued all but one Of the chick
Ems. She had hardly closed the door
of the dwelling behind her when a
sea, breaking over rock, brought down
the old %cobblestone house with a crash,
While the storm was at Its height the
waves threatened the granite dwelling,
