Costly Fare for ostrlches.

There was happening at the Ari. 1ona ostrich farm recently which dis proves the theory that the ostrich is satisfied with eating nails, barbed wire and the like. A man who had visited she farm the day before discovered that his gold watch was missing. Thinking that he might have lost 1t at 8he farm, he returned to look for it. When he arrived he enlisted the ser vices of youth and started in quest, without entertaining much hope of glnding the watch About the first thing noticed by the youth was an oa frich tossing something in the air. It was the watch, and would have been swallowed if it had been a glass-faced watch. It happened that both sides were opened and lodged in the beak. The next day the valuation of one of the birds was enhanced $50. It swal- lowed a diamond from the setting of & woman visitor, who inadvertently sought to console the bird by caress- gng it's forehead.

Tn Germany crystals of silicon-car- rside, called carborundum, which are practically as hard as the diamond, are employed instead of small dia monds for ruling fine lines on grad uated scales. It is said that they pro- duce lines more evenly drawn than thoee maae by diamonds

ADJUSTMENTS.

A little too much expectation and not
enough dollars in the box office were
only part of the trouble at the Salt
Lake theatre last evening. The Fisk
Jubilee Singers, billed to appear there
at the accustomed time, were search
ing around town for a hotel at the time
when they should have been touching
the hearts of Salt Lake people with the
songs that have touched the world
The audience, what there was of it,
gave visible signs Of Impotence. and
CONSERVATION reigned at the business
end Of the house. as o'clock grew near,
and the singers did not arrive. Some
of the Theatre officials tried to induce
Horace Ensign 10 black up and do a
turn, but he declined upon the plea that
he had no dress suit with him.
Meanwhile the precious few specta-
tors showed a tendency to grow fewer.
but at five minutes of nine. the belated
troupe marched upon the stage amid
thunderous applause from the gallery.
The singers, numbering seven, gave
characteristic negro melodies, interest
ing because of their native quality, but
alike to the point of mOnOtOny. The
widely advertised pianissimo worked
overtime. Some solos were given, and
male quartette gave The Sailors
Life by White; the latter. received an
encore. which it did not deserve. The
singers no doubt suffered from a dis
advantage owing to their hurried en-
trance, but nevertheless the entertain
ment was scarcely worth waiting for.
If they were abroad two years with
success, they ought to have let we'll
enough alone, and stayed with it.

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

Thirty-two applications for divorce
were presented to Judge Hiles for his
official consideration on Monday. Twen-
ty-seven of these applications were
granted, all but six having been made
By abused or abandoned wives.
Every few weeks an accumulated
batch of iU-mated couples demands just
such attention, and the number of fet-
tered souls signing for freedom is not
percepubly diminished. Many are the
excuses given. Many are the theories
advanced Few remedies are suggest
cd. No practical reformation is in
sight.
The real cause of the trouble which
results in epidemic of divorces is the
failure of men and women to appreciate
the sacredness of marriage. It is an OBJ
legation too easily and thoughtlessly
entered into and in consequence put off
with less trouble and fewer fears for
the future. Too many young people
marry in haste to repent IN a bigger
hurry. They stand little in awe of the
ceremony. They look upon the obliga-
ton as one of convenience. less formal
in its provisions and binding ~ its
agreements than a bin of sale or q war
ranty deed. And, under our divorce
laws. this light and confessedly tempo
rary arrangement may be dissolved by
the cousts on the bTiefest Of hearings,
for causes which should have prevented
the union in the first place or because
men desert their families in the rush
for gold.
No blame can be attached to the
courts: in fact. the divorce laws may
be none too lenient; for when people
cannot live together without constant
quarreliag or fighting. when women
have to earn living for drunken hus-
bands. or families are deserted by IN
worthy and unnatural fathers, it would
be a severe statute indeed which would
compel sach mistreated women and

There is a reign of terror in China
town in San Francisco. The yellow
denizens are confronted by a three
horned dilemma. They have been ex-
posed to the bubonic plague and grave
fears of an epidemic are disturbing the
entire coast. The Chinese themselves
are alarmed. But they refuse to take
the precautions deemed necessary to
prevent a spread of the contagion. They
viii not submit to vaccination with
Haffkine brOphylactic. The local Chi
nese authorities have notion that the
proposed incubation is a scheme of the
whites TO kill off the ceIestiais, and the
highbinders have declared that they
will Kill any Chinaman who submits to
the operation. The threat of the high
binder is about as terrible as the ap-
proach of any other form of death to
the average Chinaman. These profess
sional assassins have long been about

it wouldn't be bad idea for San Fran
cisco to make an effort to rid herself of
this pest.
