American Girls Win.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

Out OF the forty female students who
were eligible for degrees at the University
of Berlin. Germany. this year, only three
have earned them and two out of the three
were from the United States. This is not
the first time that American girl students
have carried off honors at European seats
of learning, but the incident is especially
noticeable because these are the first wo-
men who were ever so honored by the Uni
versity of Berlin. 1t is another and strik-
Ing commentary upon the ability Of our
students abroad to compete with the best
talent that the native European schools
can produce. 1t is also signal compile
ment to the courage and persistency of
American girl students when they are pio-
neers In breaking down the prejudices of
universities ruled for centuries by caste
and sex discrimination.

Unnecessary Deaths.
From the Philadelphia Times.

Civilization will probably need all the next
hundred years to remedy even partially the
evils 1t created in the past centuries The
death statistics of every large center of
population are weekly indictments of its
carelessness. Its shortsghtedness and its
disinclination to protect it's people. Those
diseases which arise from uncleanness and
which are preventable figure largely in the
mortality, and the plans to check them and
to remove the conditions under which they
thrive are deplorably ftfui and inadequate

Review of Work Accomplished and
Choice of Officers.
The work accomplished during the past
year under the auspices of the United He
brew Charities of the District was reviewed
in report which was made by the presi-
dent, Mr.. I. L. Blout, at the annual meet
ing last evening at the Eighth Street Tenn
pie. In the course Of the address President
Blout said:
1.-THE issues of current events character
istic of the work, which in the past has
confronted US, have developed nothing un-
usually strange, nothing startlingly new
The same routine work as has been COM
municated annually must, with but few va
riations, be told over again. The conditions
of some of our poor have been improved
and others have been aided to the extent
circumstances would permit; yet the num-
Der of deserving still claiming our care
and attention has by no means been less
ened, nor can we with anyS degree of GER
tainty hope for an abatement of these con-
ditions while the influx of the homeless ard
helpless foreign element continues.
considering the limited means employed
from time to time for the betterment Of
the condition of our poor, the consciousness
of having with SO little done so much may
be encouraging; nevertheless the fact re-
mains that not all of that which existing
conditions require and which our mission
obligates has been accomplished. Much
more could have been done had we been in
possession of the necessary means
The statistics of the relief afforded during
the year were given in the reports of the
secretary and treasurer, and are summa-
rized as follows:
Total receipts from all sources for the
fiscal year ended October 1, 81, 1887;
amount expended during the same pei: od
50 2S2 6S; balance on hand, $131 %; number
of applicants relieved. with cash, 106 trans
portation, 4S; rent, 80; fuel, rs; licenses to
peddle, 8; provisions, SO; meals, 10; medical
attendance and medicines, 20: wearing ap
parel, 45; merchandise, 81; refused 81. To-
tai number of applicants, 514.
In a speech that expressed appreciation
of what had been done by the officers of
the association, Mr. Simon Wolf, a former
president, proposed their reelection. This
suggestion was heartily seconded by those
present, and the formal vote was taken,
resulting in the unanimous choice of the
officers, who are as follows: President, /.
L. Blout; first vice president, Mr.. Marcus
Notes; second vice president, Mrs. S. OPP
penheimer; financial secretary, Mr.. A. G.
Wolf. and recording secretary, Mr.. Joseph

Hannah on St. Patrick's day and took in

Mrs James Henderson, who has been
away most of the winter on an extended

bachelordom had reached its ternina-
tiop.
Most of the lumber for the new school
in this district was brought out from
Hannah last week and the expectation is

tiers IN connection with the erection of
same with all possible speed.
Many farmers OF this locality have
decided to try binding Irvine manufacture
ed at the Bismarck penitentlary IN har-
vesting their crop this year. The ques-
tion was taken up aud discussed at the
town meeting election day. The result
being club order OF car load being
sent in. Messrs, Duncan, Ottesop, Dobic,
McEwan and Henderson were selected as
q committee to look after the Irvine on its
arrival. From what can be learned this
is the first instance in which farmers of
western Cavalier county have taken up
the matter OF using Irvine manufactured
at our. state penitentiary in the handling
of their crop, 80 the result will have
largely to do with its future use by our
tax payers.

Five Farms New Carried on Tn tho

Five Farms New Carried on Tn tho
 United States.
 There are now five ostrich farms in the United States---two in California one in Texas, one ia Florida, and ons In Arizona. The last named. although the youngest, is the largest and most hourlsh1ng in the country. It is To- cated near Phoenix. and the Salt river valley seems ssll adapted 60 the Af- rlcan ostrich. No protection whatever is required for the birds during tho ~sitef. They graze the entire year in .ae helds. the same as horses and cat tie, anG are healthy and thrifty. The man in charge of the Arizona farm. "ho spent b years handling ostriches Ill south Africa, says the birds do just as we'll 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 ds those existing in their native home Alter the birds attain the age of four weeks there is little danger Of sseir dying from natural causes for many years. lc is not positively known how 'ong an ostrich vii, live under normal conditions, but there are birds on South African farms which are believed to nave reached or passed the century mark, many of them having been in captivity there over fifty years. Most people have the idea, obtained, prob ebly, from their old geographites wheL eAey were children, that the female ostrich, after laying her eggs Fl a nest scooped out of the desert sahds, GOV CTS them up with the sand and leaves them, trusting to the heat of the sun 10 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 'ne sand and turning slowly round ane round, scratching the sand away witk his feet until shallow hole is made, some three feet in diameter and about a foot deep. The female then lays. usu. ally, 15 eggs, and the birds take turns sitting on them, the female sittina during the daytime and the male a, night except tha. the male allows the female about an hour in the middle of the day to feed, when he takes he place on the nest.-Boston Herald.
