A singular thing about ostriches is
the way they bring up their babies
To begin with, there are good many
eggs In the nest dug out Of the hot
sandJ, but the eggs were laid by diff
ferent mothers. Ostrlches do not lay
eggs every day, and, being far apart,
they would not hatch together. When
the nest is prepared, therefore. all the
ladies in the neighborhood are invited
to contribute an egg apiece, the hostess
returning the favor in due time.
Ostrich eggs are delicious. One
weighs three pounds, or Is equal to a
dozen OF hens. They are very con-
venient, too, for the hunters in the
desert. They not only furnish a de-
lightful meal, but dish to cook In.

A Queer DIAGNOSIS.

A celebrated Dublin physician was
Sir Dominic Corrigan. who was as
much famed for his brusqueness to-
ward patients as for his skill. In the
course Of some "reminiscences William
Charles Scully told story Of the doc
tor which is quite well worth quoting.
II was taken to see him." says the
writer. several times. but he always
treated me with the utmost kindness.
However. highly respectable maiden
aunt Of mine had different expert
ence. She went to consult him. After
sounding her-none too gently-and
asking few questions he gave
grunt and relapsed into silence. Then
after short pause of meditation he
said. We'll. ma'am, it's one Of two
things-either you drink or else you
sit with your back to the fire."

Rio de Janeiro owes her name to the
accident of date and the mistake OF
her discovery. When Alphonso de
Souza. the Portuguese navigator, found

river, and because the day happened
to be the LIST of January, 1881, he
named the supposed river after the
nrst month of the year. The name
was not applied to the city that grew
up on the slopes of the hills till many
years afterward, but San Sebastian,
the original name, is now almost for.

living and making a life. To be emil

quire great temporal power, according to
DR.. Babcock, is less admirable than to
lead an honest. wholesome life, II the
success and power be obtained by un-
worthy means.
The award OF scholarships was made
by DR.. George E. Myers, principal Of the
school. The University Of Pennsylvania
scholarship was awarded to Gerald d.
Grosner, captain of Company D, High

RESTRAINING ORDER
AGAINST STABLES
Commissioners Required to
Make Answer.

Justice Stafford yesterday issued an
order restraining the District Commits
sioners from erecting stables in square
1913. located between Ninth and Tenth
streets and N and o streets, and re-
quiring them to file a supplementary
answer as to the meaning of the act Of
Congress authorizing the purchase of the
property and the erection Of the stables.
The Commissioners had filed their an
swer to the protest and petition for an
Injunction made by Henry Jaeger and
other property holders.
The Commissioners say It is the inten-
ton to erect permanent brick structures
to hold seventy-five or more horses, and
to dismantle the frame stables as soon
as the brick building is finished. It is
claimed they are not required to get
the written consent of owners Of two
thirds of the property within 200 feet Of
the proposed stables.
The stables will not be a nuisance,
according to the Commissioners. and
would not deprive neighbors Of any
comforts. They claim there will be
no filth or unwholesome odors, and that
the structures will be vermin proof and
screened and well ventilated. Watch
men will be at the place day and night.
The Commissioners claim the East
Washington Citizens Association did
not pass a resolution opposing the erec-
ton OF the stables; that the resolutions
were referred to the executive commit
tee. and 1t had never reported back to
the association for action. 1t is de-
MED that property VIII depreciate in
value should the stables be erected.

BOYS ARE MISSING,
PARENTS ALARMED
Left at Ball Grounds, They
Fail to Come Home.

It was not until after much pleading
that the father of little Byron Daley,
seven years old, of 1886 Tenth street
northwest, consented to take his son and
the boys companion, William KeIster,
who is eight years old, and lives Just
across the street, at S545 Tenth street, out
to see an amateur baseball game on a lot
at Seventh street and Park road.
The little fellows, however, brought
so much childish influence to bear that
they were finally taken to the field in
triumph and through nine exciting in
nings watched the fortunes Of two anna
teur teams. Whether they will ever see
another game or not is at present a
mystery, for both of the lads are lost.
and at an early hour this morning no
word had been heard of them.
Byron's father. thinking the boys
would have no difficulty in finding their
way home, left them at Z o'clock at the
ball field, after putting a penny in each
chubby hand.
When it got dark. william Keister's
mother crossed the street to find out why
her son had not returned, and to her
surprise discovered that neither of the
boys had put in an appearance. Thor
oughly alarmed, the parents instituted
search, visiting their haunts, and max
ing numerous inquiries. No trace Of the
lads was found, and at 1 o'clock this
morning the parents went to the Eighth
precinct police station, and later called
up police headquarters, to enlist aid.
Although a lookout has been sent out
for the boys. they had not been found
up to o'clock this morning. Byron
Daley, the younger boy, wore a gray
sweater and a cap, and the Keister boy
was dressed in a blouse and dark
trousers.
