Rico declare they are handicapped by

geous uniforms which the Spanish Of

viction that the plainly clothed man
cannot have attained the same dis
tinction as the Spanish generals who
appeared in public garnitured with
gold lace, gold braid and medals. It
can be said that all the world loves
bright. uniform.

the system independent of interior

getting electricity in the field has
thus far interfered with a successful

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
breaches a sensible sermon on the folly
of planting any more new colleges
OF universities. The west is full of
these institutions now, many of which
are crippled, while some have hardly
a leg left to stand upon. The old
foundations are suffering from lack
of money. Even the big universities
are passing around the hat for addi-
tional millions, and the little ones
will take anything and be thankful
for it.

states for the DISTINGUISHING of the
negro. 1t is now quite certain that

American Ostrich Farming.

i writer in Popular Science describes }strieh farming in southern Califor- aia as a growing industry. The first birds were imported about 13 years 1go, and now there are farms at Nor walk and South Pasadena stocked with hundreds of estriches born in Califor~ aia. Every few months the male birds are stripped of their white piumes. each bird yielding about $30 worth of feathers annually. The birds are also sold to menageries, fine pair being worth from s250 to $500 The hatch Ing of the eggs requires forty-two days. the hen covering them in the daytime and the male bird at night. The pre- vailing color of the hen is gray, and that of the male black, so that their choice of the hours for sitting on the eggs corresponds with the time when each is less easily seen.
