 One of the many strange sights on the plains of southern Africa is party of waltzing ostriches. Their queer an tics have been described thus:
 "When tlIere 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 or perhaps break leg The males pose 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 it's occupation as to forget all that is going on around him and can be ap- preached and caught The male alone utters a cry, which sounds much like an effort to speak with the mouth shut tight. v

This miracle working medicine is a godsend to weak, sickly, rundown peo- pie. Every bottle guaranteed. Only soc. Sold by A. c. Eaton, Druggist.

 Brevity.
 The late Due de Sagan used to relate this story: "King Frederick William III was very sparing of words, as is we'll known. but one day he was told there was at Toplitz, where he was then drinking the waters, Hungarian mag nate still less talkative than the king. An opportunity for meeting was soon managed, and the following conversa- tion took place, the king beginning 'Bathing? Drinking 'Soldier?' Mil lionaire. Good. Policeman King. Compliments. '''
