One of the many strange sights Oh
the plains of southern Africa is party
of Waiting 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 few hundred yards will
STOP and with raised wings will whirl
rapidly round till they are stupefied OF
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 neck is stretched on 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 in its occupation as to forget all that
is going ON around him and can be ap-
preached and caught. The male alone
utters cry, which sounds much like
an effort to speak with the mouth shut
tight"

One OF Them Was Impolite, but the Other
One Got Even.
A sallow little blond entered an
electric car and sat down effusively by
very handsome blond with brown
eyes.
ooh, Harriet I am so glad to see
you'll I've had so many engagements
lately that see nothing of you. How

brown eyed blond
"Are you going to the --s' little

"No."
"You aren'tl Why, everybody is go

''It will be very populous dance -
But why aren't you going?"
A shade Of annoyance passed over the
brown eyed bonds face, but she an
swered simply, Because I'm not in

"Oh, that's too badl I'm SO sorry you
were left out. And they seemed to have
gone into the highways and hedges,
too, from what / can hear I'm going
to wear violet silk. -
81 think you might wear violet silk, "
said the brown eyed blond gently but
distinctly, turning a searching gaze
upon her companions complexion, ''if
you put on plenty of powder You are
determined to wear violet silk?''
81 thought think stammered
the other woman, reddening through
her sallowness.
''Then be sure to remember my adj
vice and put on plenty of powder-yes,
I think in that case you might venture
to wear violet silk. ;"
The sallow blond did not say anoth-
er word, but sat over ostentatiously and
gave a newcomer a seat Perhaps she
had not meant to be rude, with her sor-
row and her highways and hedges But
people were smiling around her, secret
ly glad, as we cannot help being, of
witnessing the neat pat with which a

RIDING ON A DOOR.
Fhe Steed Which Cyclone Furnished an
ImprOmptu Traveller.

INC OJooQ w nlCn u OyC1OOG Furn1Sn6Q an
ImprOmptu Traveller.
Christian Van den Harvner, familiar
~ known in Celina, o., as Cyclone
Johnny, is perhaps the only man living
that enjoys the unique distinction Of
having ridden a cyclone astride house
door for distance of over quarter of
a mile This remarkable feat was per-
formed not as matter of choice, but
perforce of necessity by the above nam
ed person when the cyclone swept across
Celina in May, 1885.
Cyclone Johnny's description of the
cyclone Is graphic and thrilling He
was living at the time eight miles west
of Oelina, and ON the night of the cy-
clone he and Mr.. Bryan's family were
watching the raging of the storm in the
west. The electric display was wonder
full, and to him it seemed as though the
world was about to come to an end by
fire. The flashes were so brilliant that
the eyes could not Withstand them. The
family became alarmed and decided to
go to the cellar for safety. The cellar
was directly underneath the porch, on
the west side Of the house, and Harvner
assisted in getting the children to this
place of safety, and he was the last one
to leave the house. Just as he stepped
upon the porch and before he released
his hold upon the doorknob the storm
swept down upon him in all its fury.
He went sailing through the air, over
the tops Of trees, the uppermost branch
es of which tore his clothes from his
body. The gait he travelled was terrific,
and it seemed but a second from the
time he started until he found himself
safely dropped into a large field unin-
jured, save for the scratches inflicted
upon him as he sailed over the top of the
trees This field was little over a quar-
ter of mile from Mr. Bryan house.
and Harvner wandered around in the
darkness and driving rain until he met
a searching party, among whom was
Mr.. Bryan, who, together with his en-
tire family, were saved by their oppor-
tune flight to the cellar Cincinnati

know field, sunny field,
But not in sunny France,
And there is neither CLINT of shield
Nor CLEAN of pennoned lance,
Nor does the wind toss knightly plumes,
Nor silken tents unfold,
And yet in autumn it becomes
The field of the cloth of gold.
For when the haze of summer days
Has melted from the skies
And we, without reproof, may gaze
Up into heavens eyes,
A host their plumes and banners shake
In joust with breezes bold,
And goldenrod's bright champions make
The field of the cloth of gold.
The butterflies with blazoned wings
Are heralds for the fight,
And many lovely lady filings y
Her token to her knight. y

With pomp and wealth untold,
Summer and autumn royalty meet
On the field Of the cloth Of gold.
