 Birmingham is the only place in which manufacturing crowns is an industry that may be said to flourish. The trade is prin- cipally with Africa, where the native kings have come to regard Birmingham crown as a far more elegant emblem of royalty than the stove-pope hat which they for merly affected.

Irnrrfsoned by an Ostrich.

A guardsman in the reserve Of Off
GERS who is better known for his swag-
ger than his cfains had an unfortunate
experience in South Africa.
He was stationed about 100 miles
from Cape Town at a remount depot.
One morning q farmer stopped him as
he was taking a constitutional and
warned him against crossing an inclos-
ure containing a cock ostrich which
had become bad tempered. The guards
man said that no ostrich ever Matched
would turn him out of his way and
went on unmoved.
As he had not returned home four
hours afterward his brother officers
were alarmed and sent out search par
ties. What was their surprise to dis
cover him lying on his back unhurt,
with Il cOoA ostrich sitting on his chest
The bird had knocked him down each
time he had tried to rise, but could not
hurt him while he lay fiat on his back

and therefore sat quietly upon him IN

Worshiping q Turtle.

At a place called Kotron, on the
French Ivory Coast, the natives be-
Heye that to eat or destroy a turtle
would mean death to the guilty one or
sickness among the family. The fetch
men, of which there are plenty, declare
that years ago a man went to sea fish
ing. In the night his canoe was thrown
upon the beach empty. Three days
afterward a turtle came ashore at the
same place with the man on its back
alive and well. Since that time they
have never eaten OF destroyed one of
that species, although they enjoy other
species.
If one happens now to be washed
ashore, there is a great connection in
the town. Firstly, the women sit down
and start singing and beating sticks;
next a small piece of white cloth COLOR
must be white) is placed on the turtles
back. Food is then prepared and plae-
ed on the cloth, generally plantains,
rice and palm oil. Then, amid a lot
more singing. dancing and antics of
the fetch people, it is carried back in
to the sea and goes on its way rejoic-

A NofseIess Ring Game.

The small rubber rings that are used
in every household with which to seal
preserve jars may be made the means
of much amusement when a lively
game is desired for the amusement of
friends First obtain a smooth head of
a -four or sugar barrel and see that the
pieces are all fastened together, form
ing Il circular board, or any smooth
board about square foot in size will
serve the purpose.
Procure ten coat hooks of medium
size and secure them into the board
and mark above each hook its number,
ranging from No. l to No. 10. A hole
may be made in the upper end of the
board or a screw eye inserted by which
to hang it upon nail in the wall.
No. 10 is a sort of a ''bullseye," and
each player, having three of the rubber
rings, takes turns in throwing them
from a position about ten feet away,
endeavOring to hook" as many on the
board as possible. A score is kept of
the points gained by each player, the
one first getting 100 points being the
winner. However, exactly 100 points
must be made. For instance, If 4 play
err has 90 he has to work for hook No.
IL as any other hook would carry him
over the mark. This difficulty adds to
the interest of the game.
An advantage of the game is that no
noise is made nor damage done by the
rings, and it may be improyised by any
boy or girl.-New York Sun

Lord Roberts, one of the most dis
tinguished officers of the British army,
is noted for his exact punctuality and
his disregard :for mere sentiment.
That fact makes the more noteworthy
his recent testimony on the subject of
temperance, indeed of total absti-
hence, in the military servire. Re-
ports on discipline, he said, show a
remarkable contrast between convic
lions of abtainers and non abstainers.
Among abstainers the convictions
were 4.12 in the 1000, while among
non abstainers they were 1888 in the
1000, or nearly nine times as many.
Thus drinking men are nearly nine
times as apt to break the law as nom
drinkers. Moreover, the admissions
to hospitals per 1000 were 2O8.4 alb
stainers land 3O1.52 non abstainers.
These, said Lord Roberts, were two
points which it was impossible for
anybody to gainsay. Yes; and it
would be difficult to tell why they do

TWO VA VS. OF DOING IT.

[ drove with my husband to our
nearest town, not long since, and
leaving me at the principal store in
the place he went to attend to some
business. After making some pur-
chases I sat down to await his return.
Most of the farmers within six or eight
miles deal at this store, and to-day
there were many coming and going.
My attention was attracted to the dry
goods counter, where a pleasant faced
little woman was looking at some
black dress goods. Her husband was
standing near. "Now SAM" she said,
'this stuff is forty cents yard, and
this" holding up another piece, "is
sixty cents. It's better than the
other, but [ guess the forty cent goods
will do me-" The man came and ex-
amined both pieces in very interest
ed way, and said, II think, Sallie,
you'd better take this at sixty
cents; you don't often get new
dress Iand you ought to have a good
one" The little woman was still
more pleasant looking as she told the
clerk to cut off the dress.
"Sallie," said her husband, "I'm 60
ing to buy one of those red table
cloths"
"Sam," said she in an undertone,
"they're beautiful, but can you afford
it?'' He smiled and had one wrapped
up. AS they went out I said to myself,
''True enough-a good husband makes
a good wife-two such happy looking
people, and love and kindness the
cause of it,"
My meditations were cut short by
the entrance of another couple-a
gruff Hooking old fellow, and pale
care worn woman.
''Now hurry up, Mary" said he, 81
have no time to be fooIin.'''
Then Mary said she would like to
look at some cloth. She selected a
piece that suited her, but when the
man heard the price he objected.
"Get something cheaper" said he.
But" said the wife timidly, ''this
is for Toms Sunday pants"
81 don't care,' said he; 81 won't
pay so much"
So she was obliged to take on indif-
ferent piece at low price. After
purchasing few groceries, the nus
band said:
"Come on; I suppose you've got all
you want"
eyes," she said, looking wistfully
around, ''but I did want some apron
gingham.'
"Never mind that now," was the
answer, "I'm in a hurry" and out
they went.
All! thought I, here is poor wo-
man made unhappy by brute, or
man, who never allows her the pleas
ure of going shopping with a little
money of her own. She works hard,
without any reward, not even kind
words. All, this must be the kind Of
farmers wives who become insane.
Then I wished [ were a fairy who
might put money in her pocket to buy
all those things so dear to house
keepers heart.
The arrival of my husband aroused
me from my reveries, and when dur
ing my ride home, [ related my expe
rierce, he laughingly said: "Just like
a woman to see and hear so much"
"And," said I, 81 feel like beating that
horrid man, and I suppose that's like
a woman too"

AMERICAN SALOONS IN MANILA.

President Schurman, at Congrega-
tional Club, in New York said: 81 re-
! greet that the Americans allowed the
! saloon to get foothold on the islands.
That has hurt the Americans more
than anything else, and the spectacle
of Americans drunk awakens disgust
in the Filipinos. We suppressed the
ck-fights there and permitted the
taverns to flourish. One emphasized
the Filipino frailty and the other the
American vice. I suppose wherever
there are $4,000 Anglo SaXons there
will always be some drunkards, and it
seems difficult to prevent it. But it
was unfortunate that we introduced
and established the saloon there, to
corrupt the natives, and to exhibit to
them the vice of our race. 1 have
never seen a Filipino drunkard.'
Hon. O. E. Edwards, ex- consul at
Manila, resident there later as a mer-
chant, "a years in all: 1.-THE Spaniards
and Filipinos before we took posses
sion drank very little and were seldom
intoxicated. 1t was hardly less than
idiocy to allow whiskey to be intro
duced into that tropical country"
E. H. Wherry, Of Co. H, 10th Pa
Vols: "Wben the American forces
took possession there were less than
half dozen saloons. Whiskey was
comparatively unknown. The native

became acquainted with the American
saloon and the city became a scene
