Five Farms Now Carried on in the

Five Farms Now Carried in the
 United States.
 There are now five ostrich farms in the United States-two in California, one in Texas, one in Florida, and ons In Arizona. The last named, although the youngest, is the largest and most fourishing in the country. It is To- eated near Phoenix, and the Salt river valley seems well adapted po the Af- rican ostrich. No protection whatever is required for the birds during the winter. They graze the entire year in .he fields, the same as horses and cat tie, and are healthy and thrifty. The man in charge of the Arizona farm, who spent 15 years handling ostriches in South Africa, says the birds do just as well in the Salt River valley as in Africa, and that the climatic and other conditions surrounding them here seem as well adapted to their requirements as those existing in their native home After the birds attain the age of four weeks there is little danger or t.1eir dying from natural causes for many years. It is not positively known how iong an ostrich will live under normal conditions, but there are birds on South African farms which are believed to have reached or passed the century mark, many of them having been in captivity there over fifty years. Most people have the idea, obtained, prob- ably, from their old geographites when they were children, that the female ostrich, after laying her eggs in nest scooped out of the desert sands, cov- CTS them Up with the sand and leaves them, trusting to the heat of the sun to hatch them. This is not the fact The birds always pair off during the breeding season, the male bird making the nest by resting his breastbone on the sand and turning slowly round and round, scratching the sand away with his feet until a shallow hole is made, some three feet in diameter and about foot deep. The female then lays, usu- ally, 15 eggs, and the birds take turns sitting on them, the female sitting during the daytime and the male at night, except that the male allows the female about an hour in the middle of the day to feed, when he takes her place on the nest.--Boston Herald.

Noted Paintings by Lamented Amerionn
 Artist.
 The death of Frederick Edwin Church, the veteran landscape painter. removed a well-known figure in art life of this country, better remembered perhaps by past, generation than by the younger set. He was born in Hart ford, Conn, May 4, 1926. His talent for art was prominent and in early life he determined to adopt art as a profession and placed himself under the instruction of Thomas Cole, and resided with him in the Catskills. He soon became we'll known as land~ scape painter, and critics awarded him praise for his accuracy of drawing and vivid appreciation of nature. He spent short time in Switzerland, and in 1853 visited South America to study the picturesque scenery. "The Heart of the Andes" which created a great sensation, was first exhibited In 1859, and was bought by the late William T. Blodgett. Other wel1-knoWn works painted about the same period are The Andes of Ecuador" "Cotapaxi," now at the Lenox library, "Chinbor- ago." His 'fView of Niagara Falls" now in the Corcoran art gallery, Washington, D. G., is recognized as the first satisfactory production by art of this wonderful piece of nature: it won prize at the French exhibition In 1867. Another painting of "Magra" was painted for A. T. Stewart in 1866. the price paid for it by MT. Stewart being $12,000. In 1878 he was again represented at the French capital with two pictures, Morning in the Tropics" and "The Parthenon" He travelled extensively in this country and abroad, studying nature and giving to the world numerous productions of high character. A number of his works are owned in England, one of his principal works being "Ieebergs," which was purchased by Sir Edward Watson, M. F., London. His wife died about year ago. TWO sons and a daughter survive hirn.

 It always disturbs me-" said Mir. Ellington, ito see a man on the ele- yated road offer his seat to a woman when he is about to get off; he has perhaps let her stand in front of him for blocks. and now when he is about to give up his seat anyway he makes show of giving it to her. curious exhibition of about three-quarters con- ceit and the rest cheek. Usually the woman pays no attention to this man: she takes the seat without thanks, without taking any notice of the man whatever. But occasionally there is a variation of this incident. Sitting in an end corner seat, by the door, was tired man, who in crowded car had kept his seat seemingly because hs thought it was right that he should if he had thought it out at all-but who now when be was about to leave, wanted to have the right person ge, the seat he was leaving. With this idea in his mind and not with any con ceit of gallantry, he, when he had risen. touched the sleeve of young woman who had been standing by the door on the other side of the car op- posite to him, to indicate to her that here was a seat He was slow about this, with the slowness of one tired or unaccustomed to asserting himself, and while he was stepping forward a small boy who had been standing by the door slid in back of him with boy ish celerity and took the seat. And he kept it."-New York Sun.

 The editor of small provincial pa. per in Austria was in great difficulty to find a fit subject for his leading article, having been too intent upon other business or upon pleasure to provide one. The last moment had come and the editor WAS in despair. He tortured his brain in vain, when he suddenly was inspired by happy thought and dashed off the lines: After carefully perusing the leading article written for the present number by one of the ablest of our contributors, we have ar rived at the conclusion that 1t may be misinterpreted by the authorities and regarded as an attack upon the gov ernment. We ourselves consider 1t to be perfectly innocent, but, as we are unwilling for our readers sake, as we'll as for our own. to have our news paper confseated, we have very un- willingly, though. as we think, pru- dently, resolved to withdraw the arti- cle This must serve as the apology to our readers for the blank space In our present issue" The journal was pub lished in the evening, and the sly ed itor, after performing this little piece of stratagem, left the office in high humor. AS soon as he arrived in the office next morning clerk came up to him, with a doleful expression, and said, Herr Redaktor. the paper is eonfscated by the police!" .For what reason? ?" asked the astonished editor. For malicious ridieule of the fnstitu- tions of the Austrian empire by the omission of the leading article" re- piled the man.-New York Press

Boers Have Lost Confidence

London, May 21.-The Lorenzo Marquez correspondent of the Times, telegraphing Saturday, says: Recent arrivals from the Transvaal declare that the Burghers have lost all confidence in their ability to with stand the British, that they are dishearten- cd, disgusted and sick and that their pre- dominant desire is to return to their homes. President Kruger, anxious to prevent the war from fzzling out, is using his influence to bring about one last heroic stand.
 ''The future tactics of the Boers are a mystery. The foreign officers urge the de- fense of Pretoria.

INOCULATION GOES ON
Health Authorities at Work in China
 town

San Francisco, May 2O.-The inoculation of Chinese and Japanese is quietly going on. From unofficial sources 1t is learned that nine Japanese and eleven Chinese were inoculated with haffkine yesterday, and twenty-six Japanese and fifty Chinese today. At all the exits of the city doctors are stationed, and unless "a Chinese or Japanese can exhibit certificate of inocu- lation he is not permitted to pass the city limits.
 The declaration of the board of health that the plague exists in the Chinese quar- ters of the city has produced no alarm out side of the section. The chief feature of the situation lies in the opposition of the Chinese and Japanese to inoculation- Busi- ness was suspended in the Chinese quarter today, and crowds of Chinese stood on the streets discussing the situation and eX- pressing their determination not to submit to noculation. They say they would rath- CT die from the plague than from poison.
