AN ANCIENT BELIEF.

The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of demon within
a man. Any one who has had an at
tack of sciatic or inflammatory rheu-
matism will agree that the infliction
is demoniac enough to warrant the be-
lief. 1t has never been claimed that
Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast
out demons. but it will cure rheuma-
tism, and hundreds bear testimony to
the truth of this statement. One ap-
plication relieves the pain, and this
quick relief which 1t affords is alone
worth many times its cost. For sale

FROM THE ATLANTIC
TO TIE PACIFIC

The great Nicaragua Canal question is
h sensation of the hours The utter col
lapse OF the Panama scheme served to en-
phasize the necessity Of some other masi-
lime canal across the central isthunus,
and the increasing growth of commercial
interests between the United States and
the far ast makes anter-oceanlc comqnu-
nlcation an absolute necessity.
Ever since the discovery of America the
problem of connecting ithe Atlantic and
Pacific has engaged the attention. Sew
eraI different routes have b. en- considered,
the most notable ones being the Isthmus
of Tehuantepec. the Nicaragua route, via
Lake Nicaragua; the Panama, the San
Bias and Chepo, the Caledonia Bay and
NORTH, the Caledonia Bay n Sucubti,
the Du Puydt, THE Cacaria and Tuyra, the
Atrato and Fernando. and the Atrato-
Napipi.
The Panama scheme rs now the rotten

route by ship railroad, as proposed some
years ago by Capt. Eads, has been given
UP, and all of the Others have been aban-
dOned, except the Nicaragua, VIII ich is re-
gardsd as Offering features Of advantage
not possessed by any other. The United
States commission of 1897 composed Of q
trained general, an admiral and two
scientific government experts. pronounced
1t so, and subsequent surveys have con-
firmed Thus opinion. The great success of
the Suez, Sault Ste Marie and Welland
canals. inc the crying need of a shorter
route than that aroun Cape Horn have
offered constant incentives to engineer
ing and commercial ingenuity.
All centered on the Nicaragua as The
most promising route. It's possession Is
considered unique, exceeding Gibraltar in
strategic value. The a lies through a
country for the most part salubrious and
rich in natural re sources.
The possession of an inter-oceanic ca
nal there by the United States govern

ton of the Monroe doctrine.

would hardly recognize the natural

GETTING THE FEATHERS.
Yet the ostrich has 50 many feathers
and sheds them SO freely that he is a
paying investment even when his feath-

1t was formerly though that the ostrich
had to be killed for his feathers, but lat
terfy it has been, ascertained that the
shed feathers are very fine and good and
that the ostrich could be allowed to live
and give up his feathers during mounting
season, as pleased his comfort.
BY a wise provision of nature the os-
trich sheds his feathers in the month of
March; and aus 1T takes about a year from
farm to hat, the feathers can be depended
upon to reach the shops just in time for
the Easter display. OF course, 1T does not
take a year to prepare a feather. but the

AN AMERICAN
FARM IN PARIS

The American exhibit at the Paris Ex-
position will Include an ostrich farm,
transplanted from California, where there
are several prosperous and highly re-
munerativve collections of these rds.
The object of the exhibit is to show the
jewellers of other countries how great are
the of his country of ours. Os-
trich feathers grown upon the American
OSTRICH are longer, finer and more curing
than those of South Africa or Australia.
The American ostrich, besides being
larger than his African brother, is dif-
ferent. His wings are more highly de-
velOped and he has three toes instead Of
two. But, like the rest of his family, he
is not a flying bird, yet has his civilization
led him into aplcurean ways of eating.
No goat ever ate as much, or spread his
appetite over as wide a range OF food as
the ostrtch;; and the proverbial stomach
of an ostrich" has not been exaggerated.
The ostrich besides being omniverous is
actually fond of more foods than are de-
signed for his stomach. He ats bits Of
metal, AN sorts of hard substances, such
as rocks, and stones, n often glass n
other sharp articles that destroy him.. The
hunters of the ostrich in his VIII s ate
WIFI tell you o he is found lying upon
the ground, in convulsions; and on beng
killed and opened how they will find Wi h.
in him a bit of sharp steel which is SLOWLY
burrowing it's way through his internal
economy.
HUNTING HIM.
The ostrich OF South Africa is hunted
in various ways. Often the hunter
dresses himself in the skin of a dead bird
and, going OUT upon the desert. lies in
walt for his prey. The ostrich is ar un-
suspicious animal n is easily caught by
the Imitation ostrich.
Another way of catching Us still more
Simple. The ostrich has the habit of rum
ming around in a circle. Chase a family
of ostriches and you will observe that the
cock run ahead, followed by his six hen
ostriches. Round and round they go AT
a terrific pace, and always in a great C r.
Gle. Consequently the astute hunter has
only to stand still and spread his snare.
when the ostriches, blinded now by their
mad fight, run directly into his huge net.
The ose rich lis the most easily caught Ct
all the valuable Wild animals. bird or
beast and for this reason there is danger
of his complete determination.
Ar Anne. ican ostrich, it is suppo- ed, was
brought here from South America early
in the present century. He was found in
Southern California forty years or more
ago. but it was not until a comparative.
recent date that he was gathered into
captivity and cared for. 1t remained for
Yankae genius to do that which not al

are so large, however, that o-e egg would

coupled with the fact that they are rather
strong to the unaccusto1med taste, have
banished Them from the tables, Ven OF
those who could obtain them. The taste
for ostrich eggs lis said to be "a Gu It'll waited

in the fat of the ostrich.
