Dancing Birds.

One of the many strange sights on
the plains of southern Africa is party
of wGltzing ostriches. Their queer an
tics have been described thus:
when there are a number of them,
they will start off in the morning and
after running a few hundred yards will
STOP and with raised wings will whirl
rapidly round till they are stupefied or
perhaps break leg. The males pose
also before fighting and to make their
court. They kneel on their ankles,
opening their wings and balancing
themselves alternately forward and
backward or to one side or the other,
while the Eecl: is stretched on a level
with the back and the head strikes the
sides, now on the right, now on the
left, while the feathers are bristling
The bird appears at this time so absorb
ed i'll its occupation as to forget all that
is going on around him and can be APP
preached and caught. The male alone
utters cry. which sounds much like
an effort to speak with the mouth shut
tight

MATES OF GREAT MEN.
The Wives of Both Disraeli and Gladstone
Were Brave.

Were Brave.
Once when Gladstone was making an
outdoor speech it began TO rain. Quietly
Mrs. Gladstone, with her sweet, moth
erly face, and who always accompanied
her husband, stood up, and. opening a
domestic locking umbrella of the Camp
species, held it over him. The spectacle
which the old couple presented there
standing together was so touching and
appealed so thoroughly to the good feel
ings of the crowd, because Of the strik-
ing picture Of Darby and Joan domes-
ITCHY, that when burly costermonger,
who had been loudest in his catca. is
and hooting of Mr.. Gladstone up to
that moment, suddenly shouted, "Three
cheers for the grand old womanr' every
one responded with will.
Lady Beaconsfield showed similar de-
votion to Gladstone's great rival on
more than one occasion. She, too, was
devoted to her husband, and many old
parliamentarians recall the story of how
after having had her hand terribly
crushed i'll the carriage door while driv-
ing down to the house of parliament
with Disraeli she refrained from utter
ing a Cry or from saying a word about
her injury lest his mind should be divert
ed from the great ana important speech
which he was to deliver that night. 1t
was not until he reached home and
found the doctor at her bedside that he
was made aware that she had sustained
any hurt.-New York Herald.

VISITING A SHRINE.
lieutenant RavIinson's Daring Entry Into
the Sacred City of Kun.

the Sacred City of KUN.
Kun, a walled city Of Persia, ranks
second to Meshed in sanctity, on ac-
count of the famous shrine of Masuma
Fatima, sister of the Imam Ria. a IA
nous saint of the Mohammedans
While Lieutenant Rawlinson was on
his way TO Teheran he heard much of
this sacred city and the glories of the
shrine, which, it was said, no Euro
pean had ever entered. Death, so rumOr
Whispered, would be the portion of the
audacious infidel who should be discov-
cred within its precincts.
To a young and ardent spirit a danger
GUS adventure Is an Irresistible attrac-
tion. Young RawlinsOn determined 10
visit the shrine. Disguised as a Persian
pilgrim, thousands of whom annually
journey to the sacred city, he joined tho
crowd of pilgrims. His knowledge of
Persian and Of the customs of the coUn-
try enabled him to pass undetected
through III temple gates and to make
his way to the tomb OF the saint. The
guardian gave him the customary form
of words and he repeated them.
But his curiosity almost caused his
detection. Attracted by magnificent
suits of steel armor which hung on the
walls, he was gazing at them, when
suddenly he found that he had turned
his back upon the sacred shrine where
in the saint was entombed.
A thrill Of alarm startled him, but
the discourtesy, impossible to a true
believer had not been noticed. If it
had been, there would probably have
been no further career for the young
lieutenant, who subsequently became
the deciphe-er Of Assyrian and Babylo-
MAN inscriptions and texts, and died the
renowned orientalist, Sir Henry Raw
inson. Youths Companion.

| Employees of the Steamship.
The fee system is more riGidly en-
| forced on big passenger steamship
| than anywhere else. 1t is one Of the
| places where servants demand their fees
| and tell you the amount that they think
you ought to give them. While the
| walters at restaurants and hotels expect
| fees for their services and will hint and
| may perhaps make it embarrassing for
you If they are not paid they have
not gene so far as to tell you that they
| want fee and prescribe the amount.
Even porters do not do that. They come
around, brush your coat and hat and
run the whisk over your trousers, but
1t IS seldom that they ask you for any
money, let alone a specified amount.
On the passenger steamers the stew
ards regard their fees as a matter of
right as much as the steamship com
pany regards your passage money. 1t is
possible to avoid paying the fees, as
they are not coIlectable by law. bat the
passenger who does not pay them will
have trouble il getting his luggage off
the steamer, and it would be well for
him to keep off steamers afterward
where any Of the servants of that boat
are employed.
The stewards seem to have some sort
Of fee guidebook or black list of passen-
gers who do not give fees, so that they
can make them suffer on future trips
Certain fees are regularly fixed and ex-
Iected, irrespective Of the cost Of the
stateroom or the style in which a man
travels. while certain other fees depend
on the style. For an ordinary passenger
there are fees 70 be given to the state
room steward, the saloon steward, the
deck steward, the smoking room steward
and the barber aud bath man.
The fee to the steward who looks
after your staterooln is about 10 shil-
Hngs. The steward who waits on you
at the table should receive the same fee. |
The deck steward, for bringing you an |
occasional drink and looking after your |
steamer chair and rugs, expects > shiI- |
lings, but he Will take half a crown. |
The smoking room steward expects ) |
shlllings, and If You are in the smoking |
room great part of the trip he feels
that he Is entitled to as much as the
steward or your waiter 4
bath every day on the passage can be
had for a ) shilling fee.
These rates are fixed by long custom.
The stewards can tell whether or not a
man unders lands the rates and if he will
pay at the end Of the trip. If they do
not think that he will, they give him
hints from time 70 time until they get
some assurance on his part that he

 The name of the leader was Lacohie, and many good canoe had he built and sold 10 his white brothers, and since the time of this story he has clipped a paddle on the Thames and sung Maliseet songs to the ladies of the queens court and has taken away many shillings from lords and dukes.
 But at this time Lacooie was a quiet. undiscovered" Indian. content with $20 for the building of a canoe.
 The four bark hunters found the rapids full and the waters swift. They advanced slowly, and it was not until the second day that they reached one of those clumps of virgin birehes of which Antoine had spoken. They land cd on gradual bank clothed with wild vines. and set 10 work briskly with their knives stripping the bark from the trees in great sheets.
 The comradeship of these men raised Antoine's spirits. Life seemed good again, with its songs, its work, its great campfres, and always the dash ing river His nights were fai! Of sleep and peaceful dreams. Fear had slid away like a shadow.
 It was not long before bark was gathered iH such quantity that the two canoes would hold 10 more. The cargo was made Up in great rolls and bound about with Wattles Of willow. It was then nicely slowed amidships of the Irail craft. The voyagers took their places one morning before sunrise and the current bore them swiftly away.
 No need Of using the spruce poles naw, the paddles had scarcely to be lifted Forests of spruce and groves of waking naples slid by like green shadows in a dream. Water fowl rose, with wilding cries, as the canoes sped down upon them. Red deer and cari- bou were startled at their drinking pools.
