How ostrichcs are Selected.

In selecting ostriches for menag-
cries or geological gardens, the
sy iftest are chosen; not because 1t
w be necessary for them to run in
their new quarters, but because
sv!ttness is good indication Of
hcqlth and robustness.
One Of these agents visited pen
CT ostriches in Africa. At his call,
two beautiful birds came up to him.
Being deslrous of testing their speed.
he arranged with the keeper that
.Goy should run a race; so he ca
res scd the birds, and showed them
handful OF figs, of which they are
very fond.
The ostriches were held while the
I tor walked to a certain distance.
II n signal they were set free, and
6o ,an to run for the figs. They
camc bonding along at terrific
., Re- t1king twelve or fourteen feet
i; 4 stride.
They ran neck and neck for more
Than half the distance, their wings
woi king like arms and making a
great sound. Presently one drew
lhcad, and. looking behind, as a boy
IN foot race might do, to see where
ais l.vGl was, and finding the other
ana beaten, the winner slackened his
pace and gently trotted up for the
lri o. flCs.

COIOrS of the Sea,

Saa,co'ors are generally unstable.
5.0 beautiful sea-plants that tempt
MS In the rock-pools along the shore
lose their brilliancy when taken
from the water. The dying dolphin
'Auws all the colors of pearls or
rrals, coming and going on his shim-
,cring side. The sea itself is chame-
Icon like in its changing hues. One
who has ever sat upon the shore and
watched the colors coming and going
npon its surface will find 1t hard to
tell what Is the color of the sea. As
rule, bright green indicates shoal
water, the lighter the tint the more
shallow the depth. Dark blue water
is sign of great depth. But even
blue water at a distance takes on a
lark green hue. Careful observa-
ions have shown that even in the
,eerest water the basal color is some
int of green. In our own expert
nee we have observed that when the
cad was thrown in mid ocean, where
be surface color was dark blue, the
)lGnge revealed a flash of brilliant
green in the opening water.

LAKE CALLED SPEAKING GOD.
Superstition Arising From Beating
of Waves on Beach.

Manitoba Lake, which lies north
west of Fort Garry, and has given a
title TO the province formed out Of
the Red River region derives xs
name from small island from which
in the stiffness of the night issues a
mysterious noise. On no account will
the Ojibway approach or land on this
island, supposing 1t to be the homo
of the Manitou, the Speaking
God" The cause of this curious sound
is the beating OF the waves against
the "shingle" or large pebbles lining
the shores. Along the northern coast
of the island is a long, low cliff Of
fine grained compact limestone,
which, under the stroke of the ham,
mer, clinks like steel. The waves
beating on the shore at the foot Of
the cliff cause the fallen fragments
to rub against each other and to give
out a sound resembling the chimes
of distant bells. The phenomenon
occurs when the gales blow from the
north, and then when the winds sub
side, low wailing sounds, like whis-
perinS voices, are heard In the air.
Travellers assert that the effect is i'm
pressivc. and that they have been
awakened at night under the impress
sion they were listening to church
bells.

Fate of Pins and Hairpins.

BY series of experiments con-
Quoted in his back garden, a gentle
man has discovered the answer to
tho conundrum, What becomes of
pins?" He has found that pins are
resolved into dust. Hairpins, which
ne watched for one hundred and
1fty-four days, disappeared by rust
ing away at the end of that time.
BRIGHT pins took nearly eighteen
months to disappear; polished steel
needles nearly two years and half;
brass pins had but little endurance;
steel pens at the end fifteen months
lad nearly gone, while their wooden
holders were still intact.

"Thc Grand Old Man,

The Rev. Edward Lloyd Jones Of
Manchester. England. is credited with
having originated the phrase ''the
Grand Old Man" rs applied to Mr..
Gladstone. During the Irish agitation
it became necessary that detectives
should follow Mr.. Gladstone for the
purpose of protection, and as the Lib
eral leader lived in Hawarden, in
Flintshire, that county. then governed
by quarter sessions, was asked to pay
the bill. The magistrates, nearly all
Tories in those days, objected, where
upon Lloyd Jones, who was than min.
lister mt Rhyl. promptly called an indlg-
nation meeting. He asked a lawyer
who was present to state whether, il
the life of common tramp was In
peril, it was not the duty of the county
to protect him. The lawyer said that
undoubtedly 1t was. "Then," shouted
Mr.. Jones, "if it is the duty of this
county TO protect the beggar at our
doors, are we going to allow the pre-
cious life of that grand old man at Ha-
warden to go unprotected" That
meeting settled the quarter sessions OBJ
jections, and the title stuck.

THE MAKING OF TOYS.
An Ar That F1ourished BefoaN the
Dnys of History.

Dnys of History.
To tell the whole story of the art of
making toys it would first be necessary
TO find some means of exploring the
ages that antedate history. The love Of
toys is US instructive as ii is universal.
No barharous land has yet been found
which was so unclvilized that Its chill
drcn did not have their playthings-
shapeless and clumsy, perhaps, but still
capable of fulfilling the purpose for
which they were crcated-and there Is
no record of any time when little ones
have not possessed some kind of pup
pets with which they might divert them
selves. Archaeologlsts in delving among
the tombs of ancient Greece and Egypt
made the surprising discovery that the
art of toymaking was not only known,
but had attained Il high degree Of de-
velopmcnt as far back as 5000 years
ago. In those days both Greclan and
Egyptian children had their dolls, and
they were jointcd dolls mt that. As
compared with the magnlticently attir-
vi French conceptions of the present
time they were crude inventions, Of
course. Their bodies were made Of
wood. of clay or of stone, and their lit
tie limbs were wee laths fastened to
the body by means of a wire. The
carving of the bodies, however, was not
badly done. and many child since
that time has been glad to mother
n more unsightly doll.
BY the side of the dolls of the chill
dren Of ancient Egypt the nrchaeolo-
glsts uncarthed other playthings which
children still love to possess-the dolls
furniture. the utensils for cooking and,
what is even more interesting from an
antiquarian's point of view, the articles
used in the making of sacrifices, clever
dren might be able to conduct their
dolls through the ritual of their rell-
giouS exercises. 4 circumstance that sug-
gests that the word 'sacrilege" had not
then the same meaning which It has to-
day.
1t is a long step from the year 5000
b. c. to the fifteenth or sixteenth CEN
tury, but it was within that time that
the art Of toymaking was both brought
to a high state Of perfection and then
once more forgotten. Like other arts,
II could not survive the neglect and
vandalism of that period known as the
dark ages" Just what the children
used for playthings during these long
centuries of darkness and ignorance
one can only surmiSe, but II is safe to
say that they found things to play
with, not only because the making of
toys was one of the first objects to
which man devoted his attentions when
he plunged into the renewed activities
of the renaissance, but also for the
reason that. us the psychologists have
recently taught us, playthlngs are and
always have been quite as necessary a
constituent of human health and de-
, velopment as food and medicine. In
other words, children crave toys be-
cause it Is natural for them to want
them. They need them, and to deprive
them Of these pleasures woul be to
retard their progress in their work of
becoming men and women. - Public
opinion.

ASSUMES A SERIOUS ASPECT.
Political Crisis in Austria Grows
More Grave.

Vienna, May 30.-Emperor Francis
Joseph, in a letter to Prince Conrad
Won he-Schillingsfuerst, ac-
cepts the resignation of the cabinet
and asks that the ministers carry on
affairs pending the formation of a.
new cabinet.
The political crisis is assuming a
serious aspect Emperor Francis Jo-
seph Tuesday received Count Won
Condenhove, governor Of Bohemia
and Count Kielmansegg in long au-
dlences, but both declined to form
cabinet. Count Condenhove has re-
turned to Prague and apparently no
party leader has yet been found with
the courage to attempt to form even
a provisional ministry.
There is an unconfirmed rumor that
the heir presumptive, Archduke Fran
els Ferdinand, has been recalled from
Madrid, where he went as the repre-
sentative of Emperor Francis Joseph
to the Spanish royal wedding.
There Is also a rumor that Foreign
Minister Count Goluchowski has re-
signed. AS his post is that of Joint
minister of Austria and Hungary, his
resignation did not go to the emperor
with that of the Austrian cabinet.
All parties and newspapers are
unanimous in condemning the settle
ment of the customs dispute with
Hungary.
Count Vetter, president of the
reichrath, has suspended sittings of
that body pending the ministerial
crisis. This action was greatly re-
sented One hundred deputies, mostly
Germans and Socialists, met in the
chamber in the evening, elected a
temporary president and held an in
dignation meeting, at which demand
was made that Count Vetter resume
sittings. Count Vetter declined and
the deputation which carried the de-
mand having returned TO the chamber
with his refusal, an angry storm
broke out, the deputies shouting:
Shame" and 'the president of the
Russian chamber of deputies is bet
ter man than ours

GONE HOME.

Marjorie and Gertrude Gowrie.
There's vacant place in your house
hold tonight.
Two loved ones have gone to their
home above;
You miss their voices; their smile so
bright;
You weep and mourn for the ones you
love.
With tear filled eyes you go on your
way,
Hearts heavy and sad, and aching
with woe,
And you question God, as you try to
pray;
Why, did my loved ones have to go?
Far away out yonder in Gods own
acre.
Side by side they lie with their
father dear
And dust to dust, but the soul of its
maker
Seem unmeaning words to your
grief dulled ear.
But oh! lift your eyes to the sky of
heaven;
Up, far above earth and the graves
dank mould;
Look, with a faith that is God given
And see them at home beyond the
gates of gold.
