Story that They Hide Their Heads
When Frightened Base Slander.
There are many giants in Africa g.
feet high. Some Of them weigh 800
pounds and are strong enough to kill
a panther at one blow. Perhaps you
think such big fellows must be clumsy,
but they are not They can run faster
than any horse, spring II to IA feet at
a leap. This all sounds like a fairy
story, says a writer in the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune, but not so when
you hear that these African giants are
-ostriches.
Perhaps you have been told some
foolish stories about these birds-that
when pursued they stick their heads in
the sand and because they cannot see
imagine that no one can see them.
This is base SANDER. Instead of be-
ing stupid, ostriches are very cunning.
Their long legs will take them away
from men-unless they have their FAM
lilies to protect. Then all is different.
The papa ostrich sends mamma ostrich
and the baby ostriches off at full
speed, while he runs the other way.
What do you think he does next? He
rolls on the ground, pretending to be
hurt. The hunter rushes toward the
fallen bird, thinking he can easily
catch him, mentally counting how
much money he can make out of the
splendid tail feathers which adorn the
birds tail.
After the papa ostrich thinks his
family has got good start, up he
jumps and skins over the ground, leav-
ing the disappointed hunter to think
that the ostrich is not as silly as he has
been led to belief.
A singular thing about ostriches is
the way they bring up their little ones.
To begin with, there are good many
eggs in the nest (dug out of the hot
sand, but the eggs are of different
mothers. Ostriches do not lay eggs
every day. Being far apart they would
not hatch together. When the nest is
prepared all the female ostriches in the
neighborhood are invited to contribute
an egg apiece, the hostess returning
the favors in due time.
Ostrich eggs are delicious. One
weighs three pounds, or is equal to a
dozen Of a hens. They are very con-
venient, too, for the hunters in the
desert They not only furnish de-
lightful meal, but dish to cook it in.
The shell is hard and thick and the
egg is set on the fire, hole is broken
in the top, it is stirred with stick and
when it is done the saucepan serves as
dish as we'll

In Spite of Their Great Strength They
Are True Conservatives.
One Of the farm boys drew our at
tention to what seemed little more than
a couple of dark specks on the slope
of the hills to the right, says writer
in the Youths Companion, but. we
could soon see that they were moving,
and when they came within half mile
Of us we could distinctly recognize
them as herd Of baboons
The boy said he was quite sure they
were on their way to the water, but to
our surprise they did not make any
advance. A quarter of an hour elapsed;
half an hour; still no sign of their ap-
proach. All at once, as if they had
started from the earth by magic, at the
open end of the pond, not sixty yards
from our place of ambush, stood two
huge males.
When or how they got there no one
could tell. Probably they had come
by circuitous way through the val
ley, or it might be that they had
crept straight down through the grass
They had certainly eluded our observa.
ton.
Being anxious to watch the move
ments of the animals and to ascer
tain whether they belonged to the hero
playing under the mimosas, refrainet
from firing and determined to see what
would follow next. Both balloons
sprang toward the water, and. leaning
down, they drank until they were sat
isfied. Then, having gravely stretched
themselves, they solemnly stalket
away on all fours in the direction O.
the herd. There was little doubt
therefore, that they belonged to tn,
herd and had been sent forward to re
connofter, for as soon as they got bacl
the entire herd put itself in motion to
ward the pond.
There were mothers taking care O
their little ones; there were half-growl
animals, the boys and girls of tn
company. At first only one baboon a
a time came to the waters edge and
having taken it's draft, retired t
the rest, but when about ten had thu
ventured separately, they began t
come in small groups, leaving the 9th
ers rolling and jumping on the sand.

N. GUGGENHEIM. sailed for America,
settling in Philadelphia, then a city Of
10000 people. Young Guggenheim
began business selling stove polish.
He made a little money and then he
opened; a larger one followed. In the
meantime he took hold of mining in
Colorado, being one Of the first to en-
ter this field. He was very successful.
Smelling the ore being very expensive,
he had son learn the business, and
then he began buying smelters as fast
as his profits would permit. In the
meantime he made big profits from
selling Swiss embroideries, handling
only the most expensive kinds He
sold this business out to continue the
erection of smelters, several of which
were placed in the mining States of the
West, In Mexico and in South Ameri-
ca. These properties yielded a profit
all the way from $4,OOOOOO to SIC, O,OOO,-
600 a year. When. the smelling trust
was formed Mr.. Guggenheim declined
to join, but later he did and was chos-
en- president of this very powerful or
ganization.
Deceased was very methodical in his
habits and his expenditures. He kept
track of his annual expenditures and
found to within very short time ago
he had expended $9,3OO,OOO. This did
not include his gift Of $250,O00 for an
addition to the Jewish Hospital of
New York, nor like sum to similar
institution in Philadelphia.

When a farmer plants his wheat in
the fall he doesn't expect a harvest in
a week or a month. When you give
an order for a ten-story Office build
ing you don't go around to the site
the following day and expect to find
complete building.
The farmer knows he must wait un-
til the seasons and the chemicals Of
the earth work their changes, and you
know that your building must proceed
by gradual stages, brick upon brick,
until finished.
| So it is with advertising. The first
insertion does not influence the public
mind, nor the last, but one added to
the other, every one gathering strength
from those that precede it, gradually
influence the public mind and bring
to your bank the business you desire.
A single week or a month of adver-
tising is merely blow or two of a
cork against bar of steel. Its effect
is absolutely nothing. 1t is money and
effort wasted, but the continuous, per-
sistent hammering, week after week,
month after month, is just as sure to
start the pendulum Of business swing
ing your way as day is to follow night.

Eating, Sleeping and Smoking Chief
Occupation of a Head of a House.
The daily life of Russian couple of
the wealthier classes is singularIy reg
ular and monotonous, varying only
with the changing seasons. In summer
the lord of the house gets up about Z
O'Clock and puts on, with the assist
ance of his valet de chambre, a simple
costume, consisting chiefly of faded,
plentifully stained dressing gown.
Having nothing particular to do, he
sits down at the open window and
looks into the yard.
Toward O'Clock tea is announced
and he goes into the dining room-a
long, narrow apartment, with bare
wooden floor and no furniture but a
table and chairs. Here he finds his
wife with the tea urn before her. In
a few minutes the younger children
enter the room, kiss their papa's hand
and take their places around the table.
AS this morning meal consists merely
of bread and tea it does not last long,
and all disperse to their several occu
pations.
The head of the house begins the la
bors of the day by resuming his seat
at the open window and having his
Turkish pipe filled and lighted by d
boy whose special function is to keep
his masters pipe in order. The house
wife spends her morning in more
active way. AS soon as the breakfast
table has been cleared she goes to the
larder, takes stock of the provisions,
arranges the meals and gives to the
cook the necessary materials with de-
tailed instructions as to how they are
to be prepared. The rest of the morn
ing she devotes to her other household
duties.
