muscular and hardy but gaudily coated
birds are raised by the hundred. Thou
sands or the much demanded feathers
are plucked here yearly and supplied
70 the domestic market. The traffic
has proved a paying investment, and.
although the difficulties attending the
founding OF an ostrich farm are con-
siderable. yet the results have been
found to make the experience worth
the while. II Is very probable that be-
fore the twentieth century is very far
gone ostrich farms VIII be scattered
broadcast throughout the lower south
-ern states. The similarity between the
climate OF this section and that OF
South Africa. the natural home OF the
powerful bird, is chiefly responsible for
the conditions permitting successful
ostrich raising. California has also
been found TO be a good locality for
the raising OF ostriches, and In the
neighborhood OF Pasadena several
farms are fiourishlng. Less than 20
years ago the only ostriches to be
found on American soil were In the
tents OF showmen and ostrich farming
had not been thought OF outside the
TransvaaL Even now the ostrich
farm is commonly regarded as a sort
OF side show and its main revenue
the gate fees gathered from the infre-
quent tourist. The contrary, however,
Is true.
To the uninitiated an ostrich farm is
a succession OF Interesting sights and
surprises. The ungainly, long legged,
long necked creatures are never still
unless squatting on nest OF their own
tremendous eggs. and one OF their
chief forms OF amusement is to poke
their heads over the fence bars and
snatch from the unsuspecting sight
seers with their beaks hats. canes or
umbrellas.
The average bird weighs from 25O
to 400 pounds and stands from seven
TO eight feet high; he is Omnivorous,
.carnivorOus to some extent, and vora-
cious; he will eat stones. leather,
oranges, and has been known to swal-
low gimlets. lighted pipes and even
newspapers properly rolled for con-
sumption.

That many thousands OF dollars
the peoples money was either wasted
or illegally used during the bubonic
plague is generally believed by 4
great majority of the people. The Re
publican presents today comparison
OF the cost of stamping out the cholera
epidemic of 1895 with the cost of
stamping out the bubonic plague one
year ago. With more cases of cholera
than there were Of bubonic plague
and more deaths from cholera than
there were from buJonic plague t
cost but 61.691 TO stamp out the
cholera while it cost 500 500 to stamp
out the bubonic plague or eleven
times as much as it cost to stamp
out the cholera Furthermore these
figures do not incluue ali the cost of
stamping out the bubonic plague for
militia for guard duty, is not included
in this total of soT7 500 and there were
fire losses of upwards of 100000.
That the whole work of the bubonic
board of health should receive the
most searching investigation at the
hands of the legislature is apparent.
Bills were contracted and paid with
out any semblance of authority and
the bars were let down for all sorts
OF illegal expenditures. The legisla-
ture must make it's investigation thor
ough and searching. If blame attach
as to any particular individual or in
dividuals they must be made to bear
the brunt The blame for the wasteful
use of public funds must be placed
where it belongs.

Moderation the Most Difficult Virtue

from the san francisco Examiner.
The total abstainer from tobacco
and drink is very apt to puff himself
up unduly. He slaps Ills chest with a
feeling of pride, or admires himself
and thinks that he is very much better
than others. AS matter of fact he
is doing an extremely easy thing. 1t
is not in the least hard to abstain en-
tirely from any particular indulgence
The difficult thing is to indulge mod
erately. Almost any man can say Il
will not drink drop for a year" or
L VIII not smoke for a year" and
stick to it; but comparatively few are
able 10 say to themselves: Il will
drink half bottle of claret day." or
Il will smoke one cigar day" and adj
here TO that resolution. There is no
reason for refusing admiration to the
proud teetotaler, but at the same time
if YOU really want TO admire anybody.
don't forget TO admire the man who
proves real self-control by temperate
life.
