Costly Fare for Ostriches.

There was happening at the ostrich
farm recently which disproveS The the
Dry that the ostrich is sat - with
eating na.ls, barbed wire, ant he like.
A man who had visited the farm the
day before, discovered that his gold
watch was missing. Thinking that he
might have lost it at the farm, he re-
turned to look for it. When he arrived
he enlisted the services of youth and
started in quest. without entertaining
much hope Of finding the watch. About
the first thing noticed by the youth was
an ostrich tossing something in the
air. 1t was the watch, and would have
been swallowed if it he'd been a glass
faced watch. 1t happened that both sides
were opened and it lodged in the .beak.
The next day the valuation of one of
the birds was enhanced $50 It swal-

sought to console the bird by caressing
its forehead.

The fate which befell the latter fish

caught several small catfish, and had
them anchored on a small string to the
bank. All unexpected along came a
water moccasin snake. The snake es-
pied the captive fish and made for
them. He seized the biggest one and
tried to swallow it. 1t stuck in his

The fisherman saw the snake of prey
make it's descent, and set up a howl
that brought the rest of the party in
a hurry. This all scared the moccasin.
and he started out into the river with
the fish in his mouth. The whole

remained and this fisherman came

United States Citizens Settling in the Sandwich Islands.

Hawaii, March 25.-The cry of 60
west, young man. uttered by, Horace
Greeley 25 years ago., and echoed by
Henry Ward Beecher for years after, has
been taken up again.
Westward, across the continent, the
Young man of today is going. But he
does not stop at the Pacific ocean. From
the Californian port he takes a steamer
for Hawaii, and, two weeks later, If the
steamer is a, slow one, as most or them
are, he arrives in the port of Honolulu.
Every steamer brings fresh settlers to
the Sandwich Islands. The settlers bring
with them overland wagon neatly
packed in great bundles, which bear a
strange resemblance to household goods,
and as soon as they land they set to work
putting the wagons or ~carry-alls to-
gether.
The wagons are almost exactly alike
those used in going to the Pacific slope in
40. They are four-wheelers, with a big

canvas top. The canvas is covered with
a preparation of varnish and wax, which
makes it waterproof. 1t is very tightly
stretched over a framework of stout wire.
This top serves for a protection from rain
on rainy days and sun in hot weather.
There is no snow here, so the wagon does
not need it's coal furnace, or it's pail of
hot coal, such as they carried in 40 to
keep from freezing.
This wagon top is used for a house, and
in the new settlements of Hawaii it is
the only house seen until the settler has
had time to select his locality.
Although Hawaii is the only one of the
Sandwich Islands we hear about, it is not
the best for new settlers. The Island Of
Dab has a more fertile soil, and Mani
is sander and better adapted to quick
crops, such as watermelons, egg plant,
and other vegetables which will bear d
two weeks transportation.
Molokai is adapted to indigo and rice.

From the time he takes possession Of
his new home he Is cut off from all the
elements of civilization. The telegraph
does not reach him and he has no way of
buying machinery of any kind. There
are implements for sale in Honolulu, but
these are dear and not of the best va
riety, so the American farmer who con-
templates settling here had best bring his
farming tools along. He needs a dozen
hoes and rakes to every one pillow, for the
weeds are worse than Jersey weeds,
which hold the record along will Jersey
mosquitoes.
The farmer who has toiled in Minne-
sofa on wheat, and hoed cotton in Geor-
gia, and dug potatoes in Pennsylvania,
will have a "snap" in the Sandwich
Islands. Things grow so fast here that
a lazy farmer can plant his seeds and go
to sleep for a month. When he wake
up he will find his crop ready for market.

The farmer who comes from the states
comes as a rule to raise sugar cane. Ha-
wall and all the Sandwich Islands yield
sugar cane as northern states grow grass.
1t seems to spring up out of the soil, and
the sugar trust would make money if it
hired the whole of the Sandwich Islands.
In fact, nothing but sugar cane ought to
be raised here, and the planters could
take a contract to supply the world. The
consul here is said to lave told a settler

are cheap here-cOuld make a living from

proved, but practiced It.. He tells n
story of the end of a young woman in
whose innocence he believes to this day.
Her name was Luce Fenayrou, a great
beauty. On sighting the machine as she
was being conducted toward it from the
~prison-these official death functions in
France are carried out without the pris-
on walls and in view of the populace-she
naturally started and became agitated.
The assistants thought that she would
give them trouble, but after a few spas
wodic attemps to release herself she pa
tiently submitted and peacefully met
her end, loudly declaring her innocence
and praying fervently the while.
1t may have been a miscarriage OF JUS
tice, but nothing as yet has transpired
to prove otherwise.
He also relates a similar case of a
young man who, on being led out in the
presence of his distracted mother and
sister, stopped suddenly, crying out:
Heaven, you know l am innocent!
! Why is this permitted? What will these
two women do without me?'
He ultimately surrendered to his fate,
remarking that che was going to a better
land"
M. Diebler has always felt sure that
these two cases cited are the only ones
out of the large number of death SEN
fences that he has carried out in which the
sufferers have been the victims of fate.
Neither gave any trouble, which was un-
usual.
He has a recording album containing
portraits of the criminals he has executed,
with a biographical notice affixed to eacn.
Among them is that of the American
youth. Seller, a COWBOY from Texas, VINO
went to Paris on a trip to see the Expo
sition, n shot down two policemen
who m to arrest him for refusing
TO stOp smoking in an omnibus. for which
crime he was sentenced to death. M
Diebler married the daughter of his CHIEF
in Algeria, because lin his profession,
as he once said. they have to marry
women familiar with guillotine work.
The public eXecutioner abroad is helo
to be a mysterious, dark parsonage, 8
sort of m~an-eater, a loathsome monster
from whose presence women partlcularlS
