Inc ostrich is homogeneous and ux-
orious; a doughty defender of his nest
and nestlings. There never yet was q
bird, little or big, that felt self-sufii-
cient enough to build nest alone
That form Of conceit they leave to the
featherless bipeds OF earth. But OF all
the bird world, not one male in the
whole lot is as willing as the ostrich
to tuck up his tail feathers and 40 to
work. Mrs. Ostrich is not allowed to
exert herself too much in the prepare.
tion Of the house Her criticism and
advice are highly respected, however.
SO she usually stands near, ready to
be OF assistance II needed An o.
trich's nest is really dug-out, just
the kind Of abode suitable for coun-
try where wind and sand frequently
get mixed up together. The ostrich
digs his home with his strong breast
bone, kicking the sand out behind him.
1t takes strength and patience to do
his work well, for he does not count
1t finished until he has followed out
one foot deep. Sometimes his strength
fails before the nest is done. and then
Mrs. Ostrich, like a good wife, comes
to his aid and lends helping breast
bone, till he gets his wind again. The
nest ready, Mr.. Ostrich conducts his
mate gallantly to her seat OF honor
there. Mrs. Ostrich, having proper
n har 70 4
and the ostriculturist, proceeds to lay
in the warm, sandy nest big white
egg that weighs about three and one
half pounds. Every other day she
lays one until twelve or fifteen are
side by side in the hole in the ground.
She and Mr.. Ostrich look at them very
fondly and often, and as a protection
against the intense heat OF the sun
they scatter little sand over the eggs.
From this thoughtful act arises that
ancient superstition that the eggs OF
the ostrich are hatched by the sun
without the birds help. All the time
that Mrs. Ostrich is performing rer
delicate duty Mr.. Ostrich keeps watch
full guard Of her. Woe be to the un-

AS defender of his family Mr.. Ostrich
Is llWays on duty. He never stays
out late at night, or even leaves his
spouse to spend lonely evening while
he swaps stories with the other birds.
AS soon as the full number OF eggs
are laid he takes his turn sitting on
the nest.-Butfalc Enquirer.

you ought to have been here last
night. She did some calculating that
was simply remarkable. How old do
you suppose Mrs. Lammerson is?
Forty-three. Yes, sir. my wife has
figured it. How did she do it? Well,
I don't know that 1 can explain ex-
actIy, but she heard Mrs. Lammer-
son a yesterday afternoon that she
was tWenty-three when she was mar
ried, and that two years later they
moved to Bristol, where they lived for
nine months. Four years after that
they lived In London for a while, and
then they spent q year and a half
abroad.
"Now comes the clever part Of the
figuring. While they were in France
the lady bought a ring which she
wears to-day. 1t weighed twenty-one
carats when it was new, but probably
isn't more than half that heavy at
present. This, according to my wife's
figures, shows that the ring has been
worn at least ten years. All these
totals added together, multiplied by
two and then subtracted from the age
of the pony which Lammerson bought
for his wife fourteen years ago, show
that she was forty-fhree here last
birthday.

| Chamberlain Is one OF the great or
ohid-growers Of the kingdom. He takes
his hobby. as, indeed, he seems TO- taks

room, n of the finest apartments In
the large, roomy house, opens into a
winter garden, from which the visitor
may make his way in a few moments
through the whole 80 greenhouses, for
orchids are not the only dollhouse
flowers cultivated at Highbury. Each
conservatory opens of a long corridor,
itself a most charming winter garden.
Appropos of his love for orchids-a
taste shared. by Mrs. Chamberlain
the colonial secretary is fond Of soast-
ing that he has eve given anything
like a record price for any of his
specimens. He is fond of exchanging
one rare plant against another, and
above all, he deals in hybridization,
much time being devoted by MIN n
his clever head gardener to this form
Of hybrid culture.
