How an Ostrich Runs.

From the Louisville Commercial:
Considerable misconception prevails as
to the manner in which the ostrich
runs. 1t seems to be still generally
held that when running it spreads it's
WINGS and, aided by them, skins light
ly over the ground. This is not cor
rect. When bird really settles itself
to run it holds it's head lower than
usual and little forward, with a deep
loop in the neck. The neck vibrates
sinuously, but the head remains steady,
thus enabling the bird, even at top
speed, to look around with unshaken
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
flight When an ostrich, after hard
run, is very tired, its wings sometimes
droop; this is due to exhaustion They
are never, by a running bird exerting
itself to the utmost, held OUT away
from the sides to Tighten its weight. or
to increase its pace. But the wings
appear to be of great service in turn
ing, enabling the bird to double abrupt

GREECE'S FUTURE.
What Indignities May BE in gtcre for
Her?

Her?
What of the future? The Greek peo-
pie went to war to strengthen the Hell
lenic race and help to fulfill the Hell
lenica ideal. Have they irrevocably
weakened the one and destroyed the
other? At a first glance it would seem
so, says Scribner's. The Turk is
stronger than he has been for many
years. He has learned that no power
will coerce him. The millions of
Greeks in Asia Minor have lost conf
dence in Athens. Crete is farther from
the union than ever. Financially
Greece is on the verge of ruin. She
will now have to submit to the terrible
indignity of placing her revenues un-
der foreign control, for time at least.
The dynasty has been shaken and the
name of the heir to the throne indis-
solubly connected with an oyerwhelm-
ing national humiliation. The corrup-
ton of Greek politics, the miserable
personal struggles which have usurped
the place of party government, the
"spoils system" at it's very worst, have
had their natural effect and the con-
stitution is thoroughly discredited.
The national vice of windy enthusiasm
for great ends, combined with I'M
willingness to perform the solid labors
by which alone these can be secured,
has at last brought despair into the
hearts of the best Greeks at home and
abroad A friend writes me from
Athens today that there is little sign
of the national disgrace being taken, to
heart. Is it the end?

back.

The young man named the place.

Both Of them were losing their tenn

young man; "you tell ME how much I
owe you, and I'll pay you and get

burned eff you're agoin' to cheat me Oh

People Killed BY JealOusv.

The physicians say that the enter
tainment of jealousy has a disorganiz-
ing effect upon the body, and certainly
it is disturbing to the mind. A jealous
woman may have been as lovely as a
May morning, but jealousy upsets her.
Jealousy guarantees biliousness. Bill
iousress makes bad temper, cross
words. These, too, are, disturbing to
the cook, and she sends bad food to the
table. The man can't eat it., and his
business goes wrong all day. A jeal-
Gus, bilious woman is a bad mother.
She upsets the children, and money has
to be paid out for medicine for them.
4 Domestic jealousy becomes in time
very dangerous. Professional of bust
ness jealousy kills. The woman who
whispers convenient detrimental
word about an associate into the ear
Of her patron or employer may benefit
for day. In the end he concludes she
is untrustworthy. ,s. s. :;. :
