WHAT AsronIsHEDrHE SCOUT
ostriches in South Africa Are often
 Exceedingly Familiar.

The war in South Africa is produc- tive Of the greatest curiosities that nave ever come under the notice of the British soldiers. One of the latest re- ports from the scene states that the simple-minded British soldiers have mistaken troops of ostriehes for bands Of Boers and bands of Boers for troops of ostriches. Tn some cases the os- triches have made friends with the soldiers One of the best known cor respondents at the front, who was with General Methuen at the Modder river, reports this remarkable incl dent: While I ranged the valley or plain with my glasses something slip ped and tumbled heavily over the loose stones behind me l turned, thinking to dodge or help stumbling man and found myself staring into the great brown eyes of an ostrich six feet tall and with legs almost as thick as and longer than my own. He came up here some days ago. said a soldier and he always stays here now. We feed him and fool with him, and he seems very happy The ostrich stalked past me and took position between the major and the captain, where after appearing to observe that they were very busy scanning the landscape, he, too stared at the plain and remained erect and watchful the highest type of sentry in appearance. He marred this fine effect for inst moment by seizing and swallowing box of safety matches. After that he continued his sentry duty with satisfaction in his eyes" The ostrich is a great figure in public life in South Africa. He is source of wealth and often friend and companion. He is Q valuable sub- stitute for a watch dog He can kick horse to death and is, therefore very formidable to bt lars. He eats with relish things that would poison the strongest goat that ever liyed.-New York Journal.

Whisky Is Seasoned by the Voyages It

Whisky Is Seasoned by tue Voyages It
 Takes While fn Bond
 Large shipments of whisky in bond from American to European ports are constantly being made. It is not de- signed for foreign consumption but will shortly be returned here and placed on sale at the best bars in the country Several thousand barrels are now awaiting shipment at our seaports. While some of the whisky will be sent by Baltimore owners, the most of it will be from Cincinnati and other western cities After being kept in European warehouses for six months ar a year the greater part will then be brought back to this country for saio The whisky to be sent out is of the 1891 and 1892 distillation, which must be taken out of the bonded warehouses because the eigh-year limit has expir- ed. Whisky may be stored in bonded warehouse eight years without being subject to the international revenue Of s1.10 gallon. At the expiration Of eight years it must be taken out Rath-
 
 the money until the sale of the goods, some owners prefer to ship their sur plus stock to the other side and store them there until needed, claiming that the cost of freight both ways and stor- age in Europe will be less than the cost of meeting internal revenue re- quirements at a time when there is no demand for the goods. The tax is only required to be paid when whisky Is put on the market for consumption, so that goods shipped to Europe in bond are not taxed. They are brought back as required by the demands of the market here. Goods remaining in this country out of bond are supposed to be on the market This method is pur- sued by dealers and distillers who overload themselves. The output in 1892 was heavier than the demand, and it is part of the surplus which is now going to Europe to await the time when 1t must be brought back to be placed On the market

 For Surface Wounds
 New York Special Chicago Tribune: Medical science has discovered that the hens egg provides an admirable substitute f,r human flesh to graft on human open wounds. The substitute is the delicate membrane that imme- diately lines the Inside of a hens egg. The German surgeons first found that this membrane can be successfully used as the nucleus for granulation Of open wounds. The surgeons of the Seney Hospital in Brooklyn were the tiee the Germans discovery. Conse- quently Edgar A. Garbut will leave the Seney Hospital, Brooklyn, and again take charge Of his laundry. Garbut, 36 years old now. fell from his bicycle two years ago and so severely injured himself that as the disease of the bones advanced 1t was necessary to remove the bones of his left arm, his shoulder blade, and the left enf, of his collar bone While Garbut rallied, the sur geons soon saw that the wounds left by the operations would not heal on the surface. Garbut's wife, his nephew and a young man in his employ Of fered of their euticle to graft on Gar butts wounds But on December 10 ths last one of the surgeons in the Seney Hospital remembered that the German surgeons say that the hens egg pro- yides a substitute for human cuticle In such cases. So the seney Hospital surgeons procured some fresh eggs and from them took the membrane that lines the shells. and pieces of mem brane were planted on Garbut's wounds. Soon new skin was formed. The egg membrane did not form any part of the new membrane skin, but simplg was starter" for t.

 Cat 0, Nine Tails.
 Some of the French newspapers have been telling about the new method of whipping men which had just been introduced experimentally into some of the penitentiaries and colonies of France. The instrument bears the pleasing name Of .sthe electric cat and PElectrieian expresses the scientific opinion that it is great improvement upon the Russian knout and the cat O nine tails, which, it says, still unfor- tunately figures in many penal colo nies and in the penitentiaries of so- called civilized states. The method of this new whipping machine is very simple and business-Ike The eulprit who has been sentenced to undergo the lash is tied to post in the usual man. ner. Behind him is wheel driven by all electric motor, which goes round with a velocity that is unpleasant for the victim. The velocity may be regu- lated, however, according to the sever jty of the trouncing to be admins tered Attached to one of the spokes is a whip which swings around the circle and the culprit is placed at such an angle with reference to the instru- ment of fagellation that every time it comes around it nips him squarely on the back. It is claimed for the new invention that it dispenses justice im- partially and equally. It has no anil mus against the prisoner, it's blows are given with equal intensity, and it bet ter fulfills the idea of even-handed justice than manual f1ogging, which is likely to distribute penalties very un- evenly.--Philadelph Times.
