friend. and thereupon he began to play
his fantasia on Polish airs. The peas.

the pianist's flying fingers and their
faces irradiated with pleasure.

Hunting ostrich Nests.

Although the skin Of an ostrich il
worth from forty to one hundred dol
lars on the spot, the hunter Of the des-
ert usually prefers to search for the
eggs when he has discovered an os-
trich In flight. An English traveller in
the Sahara, Mr. H. B. Tristram, de-
scribes this search.
Once. and once only, had the good
fortune to take an ostrich's nest, al
though fresh eggs were not infreQuent-
" brought In by the Arabs. We OBJ
served with our telescopes two birds
standing for some time in the same
spot, and were induced to ride toward
them. They rapidly scudded OF, but on
intersecting their track we turned back
and retraced 1t instead Of continuing a
vain pursuit.
An ostrich's track Is by NO means
easy either to follow or to retrace, for
his stride measures, when he is at full
speed, from twenty-five to twenty
eight feet; and the oblong impression of
two toes at so wide intervals affords
no very evident track to any eyes less
expert than those of a Bedouin huuts-
man.
We retraced the impression to the
spot where we had seen the birds stand
ing together, and where the sand was
well trOdden down. Two Arabs at
once dismounted and began to dig with
their hands, aad presently they brought
up four fresh eggs from a denth of
about foot under til. warm sand.
Ostrich-egg Omelet we always found
a most welcome addition to our desert
bill Of fare, and convenient and DOR.
table provision, for from the thickness
OF the shell the eggs keep perfectly
sweet and fresh for fortnight or three
weeks.

Hundreds Of thousands Of hurrying men,
Each with a story to tell!
Each with a heart and each with q soul,
Each with his joys or cares,
Each believing that he, somehow,
Should weigh In the worlds affairs,

Hundreds Of thousands Of men
Wearily quitting their tasks tonight
To toll tomorrow again:
Hundreds Of thousands Of people, each
Faithfully hoping away
For q glimpse Of the chance for the lucky,

That each Il to make. some day.
What does the census tell?
Does 1t tell Of the eyes that achef
Does 1t tell Of the wreath on the little
mound7
Does 1t tell Of the hearts that break?
Does 1t tell Us q story Of brotherhood,
OF help for the halt and blind2
Does it tell Of the proud who ride in front
And the weary who trudge behind3
What does the census showf
Hundreds Of thousands Of hands,
Knotted and rough and white and soft,
Filling the worlds demands;
Hundreds Of thousands Of sons Of God
Toi!ing in hope, In doubt.
Each with his woes or each with his joys
That the world cares nothing about!
What does the census say?
What do the figures mean3
Hundreds Of thousands DER whom the

Will some day be growing green!
Hundreds Of thousands Of bubbles cast
About on a troubled sea
Men in myriads hurrying past
