Matching oshiehes.

Early in the year, just as spring
dawns, a pair will begin to build a
nest, or, rather, to scrape one out OIL
the ground. The male bird rests his
breastbone on the ground and kicks
the sand behind him. When one side
is sufficiently deep, be turns around
and operates in like manner until a
round hole about three feet IN dame
ter and one foot deep is the result OF
his exertion. Occasionally ne lntl-
mates to the female that help is re-
ouired, and they take turns,
The ben forthwith begins to lay an
egg every day until u or Is are To-
Gated side by side in this hole IN the
ground. They scatter little sand
over the eggs to protect them from the
fierce rays of the California sun. This
habit has doubtless led to the suppo-
sition printed in many ancient natural
histories that the eggs Of the ostrich
are Matched by the sun unaided by the
birds.
AS soon as the full number of eggs
are laid the couple share the labor OF
Matching, the male bird sitting on the
eggs from 5 o'clock in the afternoon
until 9 o'clock the following morning
and it may be understood with what
skill this is performed when it is re-
membered that $50 pounds of ostrich
are bearing down upon IA eggs At
9 o'clock the hen takes his place. The
male ostrich, however, with remarka-
bic intelligence, relieves the female
for an hour in the middle of the day
while she goes in search of necessary
nourishment.
A pair will follow this regime with
the greatest regularity for about Al
days, when the eggs are Matched.

Heredity in Cats.
Why does a cat walk around upon

Why does a cat walk around upon
the hearth rug about FIVE times be-
fore he takes his seat? I'm sure, as
the English people say, l don't know.
A neighbor of mine, however, was
watching his cat going through the gy-
rating preliminarieS the other evening,
and he told me what he believed to
be the truth Of the matter. He says
he got his facts from Darwin. l hope
he did, but as the children in the Sew
enth Reader say, zone can't always
tell!
1t seems that a cat belongs to the
leopard, panther and tiger race, so that
no amount of domestication has been
able to eradicate inherited tendencies.
The animals mentioned live in the
woods-when they are not in the 70
illogical gardens-and they have no
hired help to prepare beds for them.
When ready to go to rest, they have
to find fallen leaves and tree branches,
not well assorted. They tramp round
and round on the spot where they pro-
pose to lie until it is reduced to the
necessary condition for couch. Our
friend cat was just carrying out the
tradition.

Our Lifting Power.

The muscles, in common with all
the organs of the body, have their
stages of development and decline.
Our physical strength increases up to
certain age and then decreases.
Tests of the strength of several thou
sands of people have been made by
means of dynamometer strength
measurer), and the following are given
as the average figures for the white
race:
The "lifting power of youth of
seventeen years is $50 pounds; in his
twentieth year this increases to 800
pounds, and in the thirtieth and thir-
ty-frst years itreaches its height, $50
pounds. At the end Of the thirty
first year the strength begins to de-
cline, very slowly at first.
By, the fortieth year it has decreased
eight pounds, and this diminutiOn con-
tinues at slightly increasing rate I'M
til the fftieth year is reached, when
the figure is $50 pounds.
After this period the strength fails
more and more rapidly until the
weakness of old age is reached. 1t is
not possible to give statistics Of the
decline Of strength after the fftieth
year, as it varies to large extent in
different individuals.

large part OF the prOntS. Since the
Cudahy story of kidnapping, it has
been suspected that there was such
cOllusiOn in Omaha between the
rOgues and the police. Josiah Flynt
says thieves desert a town where they
can not make terms of mutual profit
with the police. This may perhaps
explain the absence Of thugs, sharpers
and hOld-up men from Lincoln, where
the police court docket is made up Of
plain and fancy drunks and the
ubiquitous offenders from the reserva-
tiOn.
In the police judges court every
prisoner is tried in open court and
since Judge CONS tock's election to
the office many Of the habitual Of
Tenders have disappeared showing
that punishment has followed con-
victiOn and that the absolute certain
ty of it has driven criminals oTt of
town.
1t is only by an examination into
the details of such an administration
that its excellence and faIthfulneSs
can be demonstrated. Next week Ihe
Courier will contain more exhaustive
reports from the departments of city
administration intimately related to
the mayors capacity and conscience
for government.
There are about 1900 republican
voters in Lincoln. The average regis
tratiOn at the primaries is less than
25OO If the citizens of Lincoln ap-
prove after examination and COMPARE
son of the present administrator,
they should turn out and express that
approval by helping to renOminate
man who has conclusively proved his
usefulness to the city of Lincoln and
his integrity as chief executive Of the
city.
What is especially admirable in
Mayor Winnett is his reliance upon
hi. own judgment and the soundness
of that judgment He does not make
bids for votes by promises, or by
prUphesying silly and impossible i'm
prOvements if he is reelected. Ia
emergencies he is reliable and in dull
times he is not careless. In his tenn
permanent and habit of administering
city affairs there is an Old-world pro-
priety, and lack Of political dema-
gOguery that suggests cautious self
respecting ancestry.
