oSTRICHEs in AMERICA.

The urgainly legs and peculiar pro-
portions OF the ostrich make it any
thing but beautiful, and its one re
deeming point is the glossy richness
of its beautiful plumage.
Ostrich feathers are plucked first
when the bird is about seven months
old; the poor creature is corDered. a
bag is pulled over his head and he is
thrown on his side and held fast.
About dozen feathers are taken from
the wings and tail at one time.
In 1ssa 90 ostriches were imported
TO this country from South America.
and sold to a California company for
nearly $1,000 apiece. Less than half
a decade later the number had been
raised TO several hundred. mostly by
importation, and the industry was es-
.ablished in different portions Of the
warmer parts of America.
The ostrich seems to thrive well in
this country. and his raising is becom-
ing a considerable commercial factor
In those moderate climates where he
Il successfully kept. His temper is

CORPORATION NOTES.
Are Not Money. but the Circulating
Debt of Private Corporations
Dangerous Infatiopists.

War expenditures will greatly in
crease the demand for cash.
Cash means money of the minis or of
the treasury money issued by the
people themselves, and representing
directly their sovereignty.
Private corporations, whether they
are international, national or state
banks, cannot issue cash. All they can
do is to put more debt in circulation
against cash and so increase the de-
mand for it.
Every bank note issued as result of
the Spanish war. every bond the gov
eminent puts in the vaults Of the
banks. makes the free coinage of gold
and silver more necessary and more
inevitable.
We must have money-actual money.
Corporation notes are not money.
but merely wind woven into silk
paper.
Every man who favors 2 currency Of
the circulating debt of private corpo-
rations is n dangerous innationist

are freely coined. and every dollar o,

NATURES TEACHINGS.

SOME POINTS OF ETIQUETTE.

Invitations to all formal affairs
should bear the name Of the host as
well as his wife. This is the law.
A girl Of 16 or less has no possible
use for visiting cards, since she is not
yet iu the social whirl. Yet some have
them.
When one has clergyman as a
guest ii is customary TO ask him TO
TASK blessing" upon the food, even If
you are an unbeliever; it is courteous
so TO do.
Never arrive at luncheon or din
rer earlier than five minutes before
the time set, and upon no account q
moment late.
A well-bred man who calls upon a
family where there are a number of
ladies will not only inquire for them,
but leave his card for each.
II you wish a man TO repeat his
visit do not seek to detain him when
he has once risen to depart. Ask him
to come again at some future time.
Never o. il a note of thanks to any
person whv has sent you gift-great
or trihing. Should you do so you are
self-confessed ignorant of all rules OF
etiquette and gratitude.
You can never become a successful
hostess If you do not keep informed
upon the principal topics of the day.
