MATCHING AN OSTRICH.
The Labor Dividing Process OF tho Mai
and Fcmale Birds.

The Labor Dividing Process OF tho Male
and Fcnale Birds.
Early In the year. just as spring
dawns, a pair OF ostriches will begin tc
build q nest, or rather to scrape onl
out Of the ground. The male bird rests
his breastbone on the ground and kicks
the sand behind; when one side is sui
fciently deep he turns around and op.
crates In like manner. until round
hole about three feet in diameter and
ono foot deep Is the result OF his ex.
ertions; occasionally he intimates tc
the female that help is desired and
they take turns. The hen forthwith
begins to lay an egg every day.
II tho Ohio river were straight 1,
would not be navigable. The length
OF the river, including all its present
windings, is GAS miles; yet the distance
from its source to its mouth, In a
straight line. Is only GA miles. The
river now descends FIVE inches In a
mile, which declivity. slight as it is, Is
sufficient to cause a current so rapid
that at some seasons OF the year
steamboats, can scarcely force their
way against II. At all times tho as
cent Of the Ohio Is very different
thing from the descent. Straighten
out all the bends and the river would
rush along at . rate that would render
It worse than useless for the purposes
Of man. 1t would be a torrent. The
same Is true Of the Mississippi and all
the other great western rivers all OF
which resemble the Ohio in what may
be termed the uniform irrgularity OF
their course.

Tho Contcr Of tho Apple Industry

1n0 COnIcr OK tho Apple AnouStKys
The center Of the apple industry in
the United States and the county which
has more acres Of apple orchards than
any other section of the world is Clay
county. Illinois. The largest apple Or
chard In the country contains 64o
acres. Within the corporate limits OF
Flora, the county seat, are found
more than 300 acres, and the major
portion OF which Is bearing, and from
an eminece on the northwestern boun-
dairy may be seen 1000 acres OF the
best commercial apple orchards in the
state. Clay county has within its con-
fines total slightly In excess Of 49,.
600 acres of apple trees. On an average
80 trees are set to the acre, making,
therefore, a total OF 100000 trees in
the county. The average age OF the
orchards is II years. and consequently
another year will see them in their
prime. The Illinois apple belt extends
from Newton, in Jasper County, south
to Fairfield, In Wayne county. and
from Olney, Richland county, to Gen.
tralia. in the extreme southwestern
portion Of Marion county. The coun-
ties embraced in this territory contain
10000 acres Of apple orchards, or one.
half OF the total areage Of the state OF
Illinois. The soil seems peculiarly
adapted to the raising OF the typical
tree, the prodution Of the perfect ap.
pie.

Last Saturday morning Vacaville
lost one of it's most highly respected
citizens in the death of Samuel S
Hewitt. The deceased was engaged
in the jewellery business here fol
several years, and probably no other
business man in town had more
friends Or fewer enemies. In fact
the writer has never heard IA word
spoken against him. He was of a
pieasan disposition, had a good
word for everyone and was akind and
loving husband and father. He has
been in ill health for the past year o.
more and during the last few months
gradually grew worse aud although
the end was daily expected, the news
of his death was shock.
The funeral was held at his late
residence on Sunday afternoon at 3
o'clock, the services at the grave be-
ing conducted bs the Masons, of
which order he was an nonored men,

ANXIETY FOR Mss STONE
THE BRIGANDS HOLDING OUT FOR THE
FULL RANSOM FIRST DEMANDED.

Constantinople, Nov. Late to-day the case
of Miss Stone again became more serious. The
brigands, 1t appears, still holding out for
the t25,0oO ransom, and Il is feared that,
should they persist in their demand. Miss Stone
will have be sacrificed. Nevertheless, the
negotiations still proceeding.
Anxiety prevails at the United States Lega-
ton this evening, whence there has been
active exchange of kilograms between Secretary
Spencer Eddy and various points. Mr.. Eddy
to-day had long conference with Sir Nicholas
r. O'Conor, the British Ambassador here. who
is actively assisting in the efforts TO bring about
Miss Stones release.
So far from there being any confirmation Of
the rumors of her death circulating in the Bull
garian border districts, 1t is said here that
other letter, written two days ago. has been
ceived from Miss Stone.
