How Ostriches are Selected.

In selecting ostriches for menag- cries or geological gardens, the swiftest are chosen; not because it will be necessary for them to run in !heir new quarters, but because swiftness Is good indication of health and robustness.
 One of these agents visited a pen of ostriches in Africa. At his call, two beautiful birds came up to him. Being desirous of testing their speed, he arranged with the keeper that they should run race; so he ca- ressed the birds, and showed them handful of figs, of which they are very fond
 The ostriches were held while the visitor walked to a certain distance. At signal they were set free, and began to run for the figs. They came bounding along at terrific rate, taking twelve or fourteen feet at a stride.
 They ran neck and neck for more lhan half the distance, their wings working like arms and making a great sound. Presently one drew ahead, and, looking behind, as boy In foot race might do, to see where his rival was, and finding the other enc beaten, the winner slackened his pace and gently trotted up for the rrize of figs.

THE PLAIN GIRL.
What She Must Do to Render Herself
 Attractive.


 The plain girl must not be ill temper ed. If she has plain features, she need not have an ugly disposition. She must be so sunny in her expression that she makes those who look at her forget how plain she is.
 The unattractive girl can always have attractive hands. She can take great care of her nails and can polish them until they are as pink as rose leaves and as glossy as marble. She can put soothing and beautifying creams upon them to make them white and massage them until they are plump.
 The plain girl can learn to walk well. There Is no reason why she should not hold her shoulders erect and walk gracefully. She can also have good figure, and she can dress well. The ugly girl can speak prettily and in this way add charm to her personality. She can be graceful too. The fact that na- ture did not give her a naturally pretty face need not keep her from being graceful.
 The ugly girl should have virtues of heart, says Woman's Life. She should cultivate a kind heart. A good heart shines through the eyes. You can tell it the minute you look at a person, and how one loves a person with kind heart instinctively and with a gush of tender gratitude!

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

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 it's name from small island from which in the stiffness of the night issues mysterious noise. On no account will the Ojibway approach or land on this Island, supposing 1t to be the home of the Manitou, the Speaking God" The cause of this scurious 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 tEe 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- pering voices, are heard In the air. Travellers assert that the effect is i'm pressive, and that they have been awakened at night under the impress sion they were listening to church bells.

Watch Your Compass.

To convert watch into a compass all one has to do Is to count the number of hours from midnight. di vide by two, and point the hour at the sun so that the shadow of a match or lead pencil falls directly across the center of the watch; twelve o'clock will be north, six south, nine west, and three east. Suppose it is nine in the morning; number of hourn from midnight is nine; one-half is four and a half; point four-thirty at the sun so that the shadow of a match or lead pen ell falls across the center of watch, and twelve is north, six south, three east, and nine west. Suppose it is six in the evening; number of hours from midnight eighteen; point nine at sun, and twelve is north, six south, threo east. and nine west.

LAUNDRY LINES.

When ironing, move the iron with the weave of the goods and iron until per- fectly dry. .#
 If washtub which leaks must be used before 1t can be properly mended fill the cracks from the outside with common soap.
 Have short piece of hose to attach to the water faucet and extend to the washtubs to fill them and save time, lifting and backache.
 If your wash boiler should rust, make a lining of unbleached cotton to fit it. Use the cover to cut pattern of the bottom piece. This Is splendid way to keep clothes from getting spots of iron rust on them.
 If the woman who has to prepare the clothes in the wash for ironing day will take the trouble to fold them carefully when they come from the line and will not crumple them into masses of wrin- kles in the basket before the folding begins, she will find the time required for ironing reduced appreclably.

STRANGE FINDS IN BOOKS.
Spectacles, Scissors, Letters, and
 Even Endorsed Checks Found.

SpectacleS, Scissors, Letters, and
 Even Endorsed Checks Found.
 City libraries are prolific produc- CTS of odd incidents. Articles of every kind and description are found in returned volumes. There Is, for example, a we'll known book mark, endeared to its owner by some asso- cation, which has been found in re- turned books at least one hundred times. On two occasions indorsed checks were discovered between the leaves of works of fiction. The first check, for a large sum of money, was left by young girl, who quick ly realized her loss and came back breathless to find the check still in the book just where she had left 1t. The second check was in a book re- turned by young man one evening just before the library closed. He was waiting haggard and wan on the doorsill when the building was opened next morning, and stated that as the check belonged to his brother, who was ignorant of the loss, the night had known no sleep for him.
 As may be imagined, letters are left in books by the wholesale. If they are sealed, addressed and lack stamp 1t is supplied and they are sent on their way. But opened letters ad- dressed to persons not known are kept reasonable length of time and then destroyed. Spectacles and even scissors are frequently found, but usually claimed by the owner.
 Occasionally when subscribers de- sire some book not in the library collection 1t Is purchased and added to the list. Several years ago sub- scriber asked for little volume en- titled, Monologues of the Dead. It was bought. Weeks later and after the gentleman's death by suicide the book was returned.

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.
Purchasing Supplies In Bulk or In
 Small Quantities.

Purchasing Supplies In Bulk In
 Small Quantities.
 The question of whether it is better to buy family supplies in bulk or more according to the ''hand to mouth" plan is not to be answered without reserva- ton. Undoubtedly when the family Is large and the mistress of the household will give attention to the manner in which the supplies are used, considera- ble may be saved by buying In bulk. But even this means the supposition that there Is room enough for the stores. It would be poor attempt at gain room for supplies on which the saving must Be an accumulation of small amounts.
 Unless the mistress of home has good control over herself and servants she ought not to buy in bulk. 1t takes a good deal of will power and more business methods than exist in most houses not to become slack when there is an abundance of everything on hand. "Never mind there Is plenty more," becomes a frequent excuse for a little waste that may aggregate as much as was saved by buying in large quantity. There is no place to keep perishable fruits and vegetables in small house, and it is much wiser to waive the small per cent of saving that theoretically would be made by buying In bulk and let the marketman bear the loss in these supplies by spelling. Be content to help him out by paying trife more. Exchange

Setting the Table.

In the well regulated household the setting of the table is an important and carefully executed duty, for by the manner Tn which the table is laid can be judged the degree of refinement and taste of the housewife.
 A few definite and simple rules are here given:
 Lay the cloth even and straight.
 Place the knives and spoons at the right of the plates, with the handles just reaching the edge of the table, the knives nearest the plates. with the sharp edges toward them, the bowls of the spoons up.
 Place the forks at the left, with the tines up. On the right and at the point of the knife place the tumbler.
 The napkin should be folded fiat and placed at one side.

Witch I-aze1 Cold Cream.

Witch hazel cold cream is made thus: Nine ounces of white petrolatum, one and a half ounces of white wax, one and a haie ounces of spermaceti and three ounces of distilled extract of witch hazel. Melt the first three in- gradients together, allow to cool to some extent, then add the witch hazel extract and stir. When nearly cool add few drops of oil of rose. Witch hazel cream is very pleasant for a rough, sensitive complexion.

hut was It that made Ole Bull un-

/ The riddle, is essy to read. Although
ste voiced the peasants, his own voice
was that OF no peasant, but one OF the
most severely learned of European ut
terances. His instrumental mastery
was complete, and the technical diff
culties Of his compositions have left
them for the most part objectionable.
But Mozart was his chosen theme,
sess.se,s:s,h issad with such an al.dor OF con-
secration that the whole range of his
works had for him no secret. His
fame. therefore, was of that order that
opens all doors. Statesmen and chief
captains like Bismarck and Won Moltke
We're his intimates, and he was their
confidant. To world artists like Liszt,
Chopin and Mendelssohn he was own
brother Indeed, curious physical
resemblance between List and himself
led to many amusing contretemps on
this score And soyereigns, diplo-
matists and great mobiles were all
proud to name him among their friends
In him, then, Norway had found one
who could stand for her in lthe highest
ranks of the nations, learn for her the
secrets of statecraft and recover in
her behalf the tlA!k Of thinking like
king For this is one of the losses en-
tailed OH people who are governed
by foreigners from foreign seat-that
they forget to think of their country
+ MS whole, the habit that is the secret
of rulers.
Yet it was only as a man and not
by any means us politician that an
autocrat could claim the friendship of
the distinguished artist. His own soy
8ereign felt that he had cause for grave
offenSe when the news reached Stock
holm, in 1S4s. OF his heading pro-
cession in Paris to present the Norwe-
gian colors to Lamartine But even
royal anger could not resist the good
stories told on the next visit, and the
king stood biting his lip at the careless
bonllomie Of Ole Bull as he turned
suddenly and said, by the way, sire,
you should have been with us the other
day in. Paris when we went to ac.
claim La1uartine."
