WALTZ OF THE OSTRICH.
Tho Big Bird Shows It's Good spIrIto
by Strenuous Dancing.

by Strenuous Dancing.
The SO called waltzing perform
nnce of tho ostrich is familiar to
all iii South Africa, but few out
siders have ever heard of 1t. 1t
consists of rapid whirling move
ment, sometimes one way, some
times another, the wings spread out
and alternately elevated and de-
pressed. 1t is fascinating sight
when INDUCED in by large flock.
First one bird will dart forward
and begin tho circular movements.
Another will follow and then 9th
ers until the entire flock is careen-
ing around in the mad whirl. Some
will continue until they drop ex-
hausted or, apparently becoming
giddy, stumble and fall.
The dance is seen in all Its glory
only when considerable number
Of birds are together. 1t often
takes place among only q few, but
+ is never SO intense or prolonged as
when the flock is largo.
Chicks only month or two old
engage in the amusement, though
they are rather clumsy and some
hines stumble, particularly when
they are reversing. AS they grow
older they perform several com
plete turns with great facility,
though even adult birds sometimes
stumble and break their legs in
falling.
This guy behavior is no doubt
instructive, and, as with other in
stincts, it is perfected by expert
ence. Ostrich, chicks begin the
whirl even when reared away from
other ostrichcs and without having
seen the performance. The South
Africans have the following theory
of the significance of this playful
activity:
The wild ostrich can protect It.
self against lions and leopards in
no other way than by flight. When
chased by beast of prey the os.
trich, starting to run, twists and
turns in curious fashion and
Jerks 30 quickly from side to side
That no beast would be likely to
have time to set himself for a
spring in one direction before the
bird had changed its course.
Ostrichos thus pursued have been
eeen to stop at full speed, turn as
81 pivotcd and flee again in almost
the opposite direction. Probably
mo other animal can do this.
The South Africans believe that
tho instructive waltzing movement
of the ostrich Is useful In perfect.
ing the bird in the art Of suddenly
twisting and turning, which is most
likely to assist it to elude Its nat
ural enemies, the larger carnivora

To Be Popular.

1t Is astonishing how much you can
learn from people in social intercourse
when you know how to look Mt them
rightly, but 1t Is a fact that you can
only get great deal out OF them by
giving them great deal yourself
The more you radiate yourself. the
more magnanimous you arc; the more
generous OF yourself, the more you
will get back.

When Children Were Made to smok,

1t may seem strange that there
was a period In English history
when Juvenile smoking was en-
forced officially, but it is neyerthe-
less true. The diarist Hearne in

says: Gwen children were obliged
to smoak. And l remember that !
heard formerly Tom Rogers, who
was yeoman bcadle, say that when
he was a schoolboy at Elton that
year when the plague ragged all the
boys of that school were obliged to
smoak in the school every morning
and that he was never whipped so
much in his life as he was one
morning for not smoking" Lon
