OSTRICH FARMS DO WELL.

Some Of the accounts of ostrich farm.
ing in this country have been so glow
ing that the reader was left much In
doubt as to their accuracy. The os-
trich business is fairly prosperous, es
pecially in the Salt River Valley, Ari-
IONA, where 1900 Of the 1900 ostriches
In the country are now owned. This Is
new line of animal industry for
Americans and there Is much to learn.
We have not thus far produced such
fancy birds as have some Of the more
experienced breeders In South Africa
but the size seems to be increasing and
the health Of the birls is all that could
be desired. So far serious ostrich dis
eases have not troubled the American
raiser; even the so-called barring of the
feathers has not been observed. Os-
triches need hot, dry climate, such
as Is found In the southwest. The rainy
portion Of the south is far less desira

toned as suitable for ostrich raising.
Alfalfa pasture is also essential; an
acre Of alfalfa will carry four ostriches
and, which is of far more Importance
will keep them in good health. Our
American ostriches are now worth $50
pair at 4 years Of age. No one
should imagine that ostrich farming is
get-rich-quick scheme, for the birds
are not ready for mating until they be.

SOCIETY IS ALL SHAM.
BY John d. Rockefeller, Jr.

Many aspirants for social prefer

seeking of friendship to gain any per-

What does it amount to? Nothing

NV V" eiApDEN' There is loud call upon college
authorities everywhere for vigorous action upon
matter If they cannot put stop to such enormites let
them shut their doors and send their young
home There is college in this land which might
better be botted out Of existence than be the shelter
of such savagery.
In the first place. the governing body of the colleges
should absolutely forbid under penalty of expulsion all
out of door limitations The fraternity which engages in
any performance of this kind should be outawed and
abolished
In the second place. let every self respecting young
man who to college make it perfectly plain to all
who solicit his membership in fraternes that this
thing that he will not put up with pro-
pose to submit to pranks that he will not be sub
1ected to injury peril humiliation; that such
the price of their fellowship he very we'll afford to
do without it.

LIFE CAN BE MADE HAPPY.
By Mary A. Livermor,

A happy marriage does not depend upon
good health and good habits alone. Unless on
both sides there are well grounded respect and
love- uniting the twain in oneness Of sympathy
and purpose, the marital union will lack the
completeness and blessedness of which it Is
capable. Sorrows and trials are sure to be expe-
rienced Illness, disappointments, poverty, with
annOYances and irritatons from unlocked for

THUGGERY IN OUR COLLEGES.
By DR.. Washington GiaGden

There would seem to be good red
sons for the feeling that a ruffian-
ism which puts ordinary savagery
to the blush is out of place in one
of our modern institutions of learn
ing, especially in what are known
as our christian colleges" Yet
the outrages which are reported
from time to time in connection
with college fraternities are enough
to make US ashamed Of our civili-
cation.

gift Of a peek at his face unshrouded
by whiskers for the first time in fifty

Martin Overs, Of this village, to his

the whiskers, three and one-half feet
long, about which he had displayed
great pride for years, shaved of yes
terday and went home at nfghtfall
with a great muffier wrapped about
his countenanee to guard against the
cold. Mrs. Overs, though she had
united with her sons and daughter in
beseeching her 10 year-old husband
to bare his race that she and their
chffdren might see It for the Hrst
time, almost collapsed from fright
as he strobe into the house. She did
not recognize him till he spoke.
Z well, don't you like me noW?H
he asked in his gruf voice.
Overs shaved for two years as b
youth. but no razor had touched his
cheeks since he was IL years old. The
whisKers covered his face when ne
met, woced and won his wife. She
often expressed curiousity to see
his lace in the early days, but, later,
rec LIKING his pride in the hirsute
I:saornment, the marVelEof the village,
she ceased her beseeching- Their

to him to bare his chin, and after ten

and fair as a young mans, incon-
gruous with his white hair and bent
