Locating SmOketess Guns.

The English war office has many
schemes for training their soldiers, and
which are generally followed up by
practical demonstration. The latest is a
device for locating guns firing smokeless
powder, and it's success will mark a new
era in military progress. 1t is also in
teresting to consider the wonderful adj
vancement in medicine during the past
fifty years. 1t was about that time that
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters was first in
troduced, and during those years has
made such a wonderful record of cures
of such ailments as indigestion, heart
burn, dyspepsia, belching, constipation
and liver and kidney troubles, that today
it occupies the foremost position as a
family medicine. Don't fail to try 1t.

Why is it that a woman's bump Of
locality is so much more feebly de-
veloped than mans? Put a man down
on a country road and the probabili-
ties are that he will find his way
wherever he wishes to go without hay-
ing to ask at nearby farm houses for
directions. Instinct seems to guide
him. Put a woman in the same posi-
tion and she will irretrievably lose
herself in ten minutes, and have to be
sought for by resolute men for hours
before she is finally brought back TO
civilization.
Perhaps it is that the weaker sex
is unobseryant. Even in cities many
of its members do not notice buildings
closely enough to permit them TO find
their way about. and certainly they
would not notice in the country the
big gum tree that they pass here nor
the haw bush that marks the inter-
section Of two roads there With the
sun low in the west there are numbers
Of women who can't tell the points
of the compass. and if they could
would not know in which direction
their homes lay. When it comes to
noting the details of a costume few
feminines fail to observe even the
tiniest bit OF braid or the smallest
bow. but trees and houses are differ.
ent and less interesting things. and

Those interested In matters curious
will find much to their taste in an ac-
count Of a new California industry.
Any one thinking of raising ostriches
will be glad to know that the care OF
the ostrich is a very easy and inexpen.
sive matter. An ostrich has to be
kept four years before it arrives at
adult age; it may then be expected to
yield annually about thirty dollars
worth of ostrich feathers to the owner.
Feathers are obtained from the ostrich
even at the age Of one year, but these
are of small value. The cost of the
keep Of an ostrich is no more than that
OF a sheep. so that a farmer Of very
limited experience can easily figure
the cost Of a flock Of ostriches.
The balmy climate Of Calimornit
permits the birds to remain in the
open all the year round The feathers
are always in demand. and range in
value from ten to a hundred dollars
a pound. No more easy occupation
can be entered into. and few more
profitable in the raising of live stock.
than the raising of the domesticated
ostrich. Ostriches live to tho age Of
about sixty years II has been found
that the climate Of the Pacific States
south Of Cape Conception is admirably
adapted to the African ostrich. the
struthio camelus. Constipation is.
perhaps. the only malady to which
adult American ostriches are subject;
this can be easily rectifed by the we'll
known methods practiced by the os-
trich farmers of the Cape. On the

ostriches thrive; they will eat all
kinds OF grain and vegetables. Com
mon opinion has it they will eat any
thing; while the temptation naturally
is to feed the ostriches in California
upon anything that may be OF low
value to the produce market, yet the
experience Of the average American
ostrich farmer so far has been that the
better the ostriches are fed the bet

was given a seat in Congress a num-
ber of years ago over Joe Kendall

'Parson' Hopkins was a Baptist minis
ter in the tenth district and was much
loved by his people. The Republicans
knew that he would be the only per-
son who could win in a contest for the
place. and so they nominated him. 1t

meeting with prayer, then read long

Finally he entered upon his speech.
When dark came he was still speaking.

gone TO their homes to look after their

SPORTING IN CHINA.
Ways in Which the celestials Pass
Away Time.

One of the most common ways OF
betting in China is with oranges. This
goes on at the fruit stalls and also in
private houses. The bet is on the
number of seeds in an orange. Some
times it is as to whether the number
is odd or even, and at others as to the
exact number of seeds the orange con-
tains. II at a fruit stand. the dealer
will pay the lucky guesser five times
his bet, the loser must pay the
value of the orange and also five
times as much as he has wagered.
Quail fighting is done on a table
with little fence about its edge. The
fighting Quails have been starved for
some time AS they are put into the
pen a few grains of rice Of wheat are
laid before them, and they at once be.
ing to fight over them. They are
trained for the purpose, and good
fighter is worth 800 and upward.
1t is the same with the crickets.
Their prize rings are little bowls. The
crickets have been trained. They
seem to understand their masters
word. and they are urged on to the
combat with straws The Chinese un-
derstand how to feed and groom the
crickets for the fray They give them
honey, boiled chestnuts and boiled
rice and certain kinds Of fish. They
do not allow any one to smoke near
them, for they think that tobacco in
jures them. If the crickets grow sick
they feed them upon mosquitoes and
red ants.
In a cricket fight the crickets are
weighed before they are put in the
ring. They are matched as to size
and color. The betting is done just as
carefully as at an English horse race.
The stakes are held by a committee.
which deducts a certain percentage
for those who own the fighting houses.
During the fight the gamblers grow ez-
cited. They scream and yell and hop
up and down as one insect gets the
better of the other and go almost mad
when one wins
The Chinese have all sorts of games,
but mostly games of caance. Even In
kite flying the boys and mentor even
the men fly htes-will try to see
which has the strongest string. forcing
his string against the strings of the
others to break them. In such con-
tests the strings are otter soaked with
glue and busted with powdered glass

every feast, however, there are games
of guessing upon which money is
staked-London Mail
