A Soapless Country.

In spite of British rule, India is vir. tuaIly a soapless country. Throughout the villages of Hindustan soap is, in deed. regarded as natural curiosity, and is rarely, if ever, kept in stock by the native shopkeeper. In the towns it is now sold to a certain extent, but how small this is may be gathered from the fact that the yearly consump- ton of soap in India is about 100, 900 hundred weight; that is to say. every 2,5o0 persons use on an average only 1l2 pounds of soap among them; or. in other words. considerably less than an ounce is the average consumption of a person.

THE RAISING OF osTRIcHEs.
Five Farms Now Carried on in the
 United States.

United States.
 There are now five ostrich farms iD the United States-two in California. one in Texas, one in Florida, and one in Arizona. The last named, although the youngest, is the largest and most fiourishing in the country. It is To- eated near Phoenix, and the Salt river valley seems well adapted 70 the Af- rican ostrich. No protection whatever is required for the birds during the winter. They graze the entire year in :he fields, the same as horses and cat tie, and are healthy and thrifty. The man in charge of the Arizona farm. who spent 15 years handling ostriches in South Africa says the birds do just as well in the Salt River valley as in Africa, and that the climatic and other conditions surrounding them here seem as well adapted to their requirements as those existing in their native home After the birds attain the age of tour weeks there is little danger Of tSeir dying from natural causes for many years. It is not positively known how long an ostrich will live under normal conditions, but there arc birds on South African farms which are believed to have reached or passed the century mark. many of them having been in captivity there over fifty years. Most people have the idea, obtained, prob ably, from their old geographftes when they were children, that the female ostrich, after laying her eggs in a nest seooped out of the desert sands, cov- CTS them Up with the sand and leaves them, trusting to the heat of the sun to hatch them. This is not the fact The birds always pair off during the breeding season, the male bird making the nest by resting his breastbone on the sand and turning slowly round and round scratching the sand away with h3s feet until a shallow hole is made, some three feet in diameter and about foot deep. The female then lays, usu- ally. 15 eggs, and the birds take turns sitting on them, the female sitting during the daytime and the male at night, except that the male allows the female about an hour in the middle of the day to feed, when he takes her place on the nast.-Boston Herald.
