Ostrich Battles.

Male OStriches battle for supremacy
and admiration of the females with as
much fcrOcity as stays, bulls, buffaloes
and other animals. An ostrich battle
is amusing. as it amounts practically
to a boxing match with the feet, in
which the males dance around each
other lightly. There is this difference,
however: If any boxer could hit as
hard as an ostrich with one of his feet
he might settle the championship with
a single blow. 1t must not be supposed
that the ostrich will not strike his an
tagOnist with his terrible beak In
Sparring the ostrich stands on one foot,
with the other foot and wings raised,
bill Nide open and neck distended. He
strikes with the force of a trip hammer.
and in fighting both birds warily dodge
blows. Under modern training an os-
trich equals Il horse in power and can
do many of the stunts of the horse. By
aid of his wings an ostrich can leave
behind the swiftest running thorough
bred and under harness has paced in
shout a horses record time.

Few people, even some of those
who have long been accustomed to
use one, know how to talk through a
telephone so that they may be heard
to the best advantage by the party
with whom they are conversing,
Keep your mouth directly in front
but not closer than four inches from
the transmitter, and speak slowly
and with distinction i'm an ordinary
conversational tone of voice. Talk
ing in loud or shrill tone scatters the
sound. If you cannot make the 9TH
er party understand you it is usually
safe to conclude that your voice is
pitched in a key too high or too loud
or maybe you are trying to crowd
your head into the transmitter.
Many people have noticed the
fact that calendars differ this year Oh
the date of Thanksgiving day for
1905. Some of them mark November
% and others Nov. 80. There are five
Thursdays in November, which is
unusual. The information says that
it is usual for the president to pro-
claim the last Thursday as Thanks
giving day, but there is an idea
among some that.the day proclaimed
is the Thursday after the third
Thursday in November. This would
bring Thanksgiving on the 23rd.
Since the calendar makers have diff
ered'and little information is at hand
the doubtful have concluded to wait
patiently and see what president
Roosevelt says about it this fall.
