Dollar, 10000, left Moi, Japan, on May

$500 tons of cargo On the same day
the steamship Hazel Dollar left San
Francisco heavily laden for the Orient,
and on arrival will load cargo for
San Pedro. These ships belong to the
Dollar Steamship Company, and these
sailings begin new service. The ship

The African ostricn.

The African ostrich, from which the best white feathers are obtained, stands six or seven feet high and weighs from 30 to 100 pounds. It's egg Is equal to about two dozen hens eggs. It's feathers sell in Africa for about S2OO a pound at wholesale. While walking quietly it's step is about twen- ty-stx inches, but when frightened the stride increases to about twelve feet. and at this gait 1t can run something like twenty-five miles an hour. When pursued it sometimes turns and deals the pursuer a blow with the foot that makes him think of the kick of mule. The African ostrich is the largest bird now existing on earth. The American ostrich is only about half the size of the African and has three toes, while the African bird has only two. The plumage of the American ostrich is p~9u

Our Lead Pencila.

Many boy is made happy these days by a present of half dozen pen cils with his name printed thereon in gold letters Perhaps the name lead pencip' will last through all time and eternity. The original pencil was really made of lead. and on the rough paper of the time made clearly discernible mark. Germany led in It's manufac- ture. Our earliest importations were much sought after. and none could be bought with other money than gold coin. A common "lead' pencil was al- most worth It's weight in gold. and a man who got supply had to be we'll recommended. When New York mer- chant advertised the arrival of a con signment of Head pencils" the rush to buy was peIlmell. This seems lncredi- ble to us young roosters, who can buy dozen pencils today for 10 cents.- New York Press.

The Truce 0f G0A

One of the most curious of the many queer mediaevai customs was that known as the truce of God" From what we have been able to learn of 1t the custom appears to have originated as an outgrowth of a desire to protect the common people to some extent at least against the lawless tyranny of the feudal lords of the middle ages. It was first decreed at q church synod which convened at Roussillon in the year l027. By this decree 1t was pro- vided that DO man should attack his enemy between Saturday evening at nones and Monday morning at the hour of prime. About the year 1O3o q similar compact was entered into be- tween the church and the barons of England. The church forbade barons to make any attack upon each other between sunset on Wednesday night and sunrise on the following Monday or upon any feast or fast day. The same truce made provision that no man should be disturbed while labor ing at his trade or while going to or from place of worship.

A Miniatur Inland ocean.

One of the queerest sheets of water in New Englaud or within the limits of the United States. or the world for that matter. is the celebrated Shows ocean in the state of Maine. When calm it is to all appearances an ordinary pond of no great dimensions. but 0b- scrvations and investigations made more than century ago prove that the i, tie body of water ls veritable ocean. 1t Is located in Orrington. near fnngor. and it's pecularity is that. al- though situated among some high hills some distance from ocean or river. it has tides which rise and fall as regular ly as do those of the great Atlantic. Many so called scientific examinations of this miniature ocean's bed and sur rounding banks have been made, but so far no tenable explanation of the phenomenon has ever been given to ths puD,.~-

The next morning the boat was a hopeless wreck on a sand bar, into which the pilot had run at full speed.

why Fruit. Turn Rea.

Fruits turn red when they ripen be cause of wise. provision of Mother Nature It makes the fruit conspicu OBS to birds and other animals, anG thrs secures the dispersion of the seed, If the fruit were of the same color as the leaves It might easily be passed over. When the fruit or seed is incon- spieroGs. through either the want of coiar or the small size, dispersal is eff ft.csad without the aid of animals, as fly the case of the dandefiOn, whose seed Is carried ahOut by the wind, or os the baissm, the seed Of which isF eject ad by sort of spring. The colored fruits. such as the grape and the cher ". are furnished with succulent coats, which provide food to birds. who in their inpatience often swallow the seeds or stones, which may pass through the animals body without change. Seeds may thus be coffveyed not only for considerable distar1Ces on land, but also from continents to ocean !c islands, which may in this way ac. uu!re new vegetation.
