OSTRICH AS A WATCHMAN.
sagacious Bird, Named NapoIean, Keeps
GuaVd.


Guavd.
An ostrich watchman is the latest
trained wonder in Florida. He can be
seen every night making his rounds
through the pens of an ostrich farm
near jacksonville, says a correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Times. About
a week ago the sagacious bird, which
has been named Napoleon. proved his
capacity for the appointment. About
eight months ago the owners of this
herd of ostriches established the farm
at this place. Previous to this time
and since 1885, when they made their
first importations of birds into this
country, they carried on their extensive
farm in California. Attracted by the
salubrious climate and the shorter dis
tance to their markets, they determin-
ed upon this step. When they estab-
lished their farm at Jacksonville, they
added as an especial attraction speci-
mems of many rare birds and animals
capable of easy domestication. Among
the former was a flock of over 200
golden and other varieties of phea-
SAINTS. In the course of events this
fact became known to the many color
ed gentry, and knowing the darky's
natural pencbant for "chickin'," the
owners feared for their latest purchas-
es. The pheasants, they knew, would
be tempting, because all birds look
alike to coons, and these resembled
more than anything else, nice, fat
yellow-legged roosters, and so would
become doubly tempting. Nor were
the fears of the owners groundless.
The 'cullod" population rapidly pass
ed through the stages of hearing, in
vestigating and finally seeing. At this
stage of the game the owners Of the
ostrich herd took steps to prevent the
loss of their property. and Napoleon
was called into requisition.

Chronic Coughs and Colds
Are Catarrhal
Diseases.
Catarrh Is the Continual Scourge
of ChristendOm.

Catarrh hoyers ominously over every
city, and nestles treacherously in every
hamlet. 1t flies with vampire wings
from country to country and casts a
black shadow of despair over all lands.
It's stealthy approach and its lingering
stay makes it dread to the physician
and a pest to the patient.
1t changes the merry laugh Of child
hood to the wheezy breathing of Group
and the song of the biushing maiden to
the hollow cough of consumption. In
its whitening grasp the rounded form of
the fond wife and mother becomes gaunt
and spectral, and the healthy flush Of
manhood turns to the sallow, haggard
visage of the invalid.
Cough takes the place of conversation
speech gives way to splitting, the re-
pulsive odors of chronic catarrh poison

stubborn and difficult of cure is this dis

chronic catarrh has been the ambition Of
the greatest minds in ell ages.
Is it therefore any wonder that the
vast multitude Of people who have been
cured of chronic catalrh by Peruna are
so lavish in their praise of this remedy2
That the discovery Of Peruna has made
the cure of catarrh a practical certainty

Hunted Butterflies With Gun.

One of the unexpected things is an
exhibit of 500 butterflies by an Amer
lean dealer, who is prepared to give an
interesting fund of natural history
with every sale-or without one. Who,
for example, would think of hunting
butterflies with a gun? Yet here is
one that was killed with dust fired
from gun. 1t is from Batchain, one
of the Molucca islands. It has to be
shot because it always flies above the
trees, and it is SO rare it commands
$50. Take another from India, with a
spread of ten inches. The tips Of its
wings are marked to resemble the
heads of cobras, which is supposed to
be natures way of protecting it from
designing birds. Another Indian
specimen folds it's wings when it
alights and then looks so like a brown
leaf in color and shape as to deceive
even the human eye. A big butterfly
from Honduras has large spots on the
inside of the lower part of it's wings,
which, when it is upside down, give it
the appearance of an owl. This insect

head down. 1t chooses tWigs, rests on
the side toward the tree trunk and
keeps it's wings open. A pretty fell
low from Cashmere is believed to have
suggested to the natives the design Of
cashmere shawls, for there is a strik,
ing similarity. A blue insect from the
valley of the Amazon has a simmer
that has been seen at distance of q
mile. Thus one might go on infinitely.
The American firm, by the way, sends
out expeditions to hunt butterflies in
strange corners of the world, and one
may invest $1,000 in a collection Of
500. Incidentally, it has been discoV-
cred that the United States levies a
tariff on butterflies. In France on the
other hand. the exhibitor escapes the
usual duty on the glass in his cases be-
cause the butterflies are the most
valuable parts of the special boxes in
which they are mounted by new pro
cess on beds of plaster of Paris. Such
are the vagaries of tariffs. The collec-
ton excites much interest. Paris Let
