A BABY OSTRICH.

How many of you have seen an ostrich egg
on know what a baby ostrich Is like? The
eggs are fully as large as baby's head and are
the color Of ivory They are so thick that the
little one could not get out if the father bird,
when he hears the little one pecking inside
the shell. did not crack it open by pressing it
against the ground with his breast bone. The
newly Matched ostrich is about the size of
half grown chicken and is covered with brown
tuzZ instead Of feathers. It's neck and legs are
not so long in proportion to its body as the
parent birds.
The ostrich is the biggest bird in the world
and the strongest. But he isn't the cleverest.
You all have heard how an ostrich will stick
his head down in the sand and then think no
body can see him because he can see nobody.
An ostrich can run faster than a horse, but
a horse can overtake an ostrich because the
ostrich hasn't sense enough TO run straight
ahead but keeps going round in circles and the
horse will take short cut and catch up with
the big stupid bird.

ADVENTURE WITH LYNXES.

Jack Markley and Ned Scott, two young men
who were working on an irrigation ditch in the
foothills of Western Colorado once had a re-
markable adventure with the peculiar animals
called lynxes. They were following the shore
of backwater pond when they came upon
three of these animals among a pile of brush
gnawing upon the bones of some animal.
They leaped up and began to spit when they
saw the men, and one OF them, hideous old
male, began TO howl and arch his back. Scott
had his rifle and instantly cooked it Markley
had only an axe. Scott fired, and when the
smoke had cleared away the old lynx was seen
coming for them, the other two not far behind
Both men promptly fled, Marley climbing
a maple and Scott fir tree. The big lynx be
gan to climb the maple after Markley, and, as
he had dropped the axe, he was obliged TO de-
pend on his heavy cowhide boots for weapons
By good luck his first kick caught the lynx
on the Jaw, and as il relaxed its hold. another
vigorous kick so discouraged it that il slid
down the tree.
There he sat under the tree, with his two
companions staring up sayagely out of their
great >silvery eyes The thought of tumbling
down in the midst Of that hungry trio was not
q pleasant one, and Markley yelled out TO
Scott 10 shoot the beasts
How can L. yelled back Scott, when you
have all the cartridges in your pocketg'
This was decidedly embarrassing and Mark
ley, after thinking il over, called 10 Scott 10

The box of cartridges when thrown 20 him.
Not if know myself" cried Scott They'll
make a rush for me and catch me- sure. The
only thing is to go back to camp for more cart
ridges"
Markley groaned at the prospect, but there
was nothing else 20 do; so there he sat for
two hours until his companion returned with
a shotgun and the rifle and tumbed over two
Of the lynxes. including the old fellow the
third lynx running away in the darkness.
Markley was so cramped that he could scarcely
walk back to camp but he was glad TO get off
so easily

A NEW WAY TO SCARE MIR. CROW

The following clever way Of keeping crows
away from cornfeld is used by the Dutch
farmers, and is practiced TO certain extent
in the eastern districts of this country He
makes some small caps Of stout paper, and
smears round the inner side of the mouth of
each some bird-ime or other sticky stuff In
these he puts some grains Of corn, and stands
them about his fields by pressing their points
into soft earth. When the crow finds one OF
these paper caps he thinks himself very for
tunate until he attempts to peck at the tempt
ing grain, when, 10 his establishment, ne finds
the cap attached to his head regular fools
cap--which will not even allow him to see
what course TO take if he flies up: However
he succeeds in reaching some coarse grass or
bushes, and after much bewildered scrambling
and Hopping about gets his head out of this
undesirable cap, but ever afterwards avoids
the field where there are more of them

EXTERMINATE THE RATS.

A strong. united effort should be made in
America now to exterminate rats and mice.
The boy readers of this department could not
serve their country better than by killing rats
and mice-ether with trapping. poisoning or
shooting
These pests not only mean a loss of hum
dreds Of thousands of dollars annually, but
they carry disease germs, thus causing sick
ness and death.
II has been proved that they are the chief

bonic plague.

THE OLD LION.

There was once lion who was very old. He
could not go for food for himself so he could
hardly get enough to keep him alive. At last
ne said: Il viii keep still in my den, and say
| am sick"
Soon the other animals came to see him. But
as soon as they came near him he ate them up.
One day a fox came along, "How are you
to day. he said, but he did not go near the
lions den. u am very sick" said the lion.
Please come in. ] like TO see my friends"
Thank you" answered the fox, but | think
will not go in"
why not I" asked the lion
Because all footmarks point TO your den,
but none point away from it," said the fox.
Then he went away.
So the old lion did not have the wise fox
that day for dinner-Old Fable

LURES DEER WITH A SHEET.

During the oren-door season, 50 the story
goes, Walter r. Cram. of Bangor decided that
he would try out theory that deer are curl
Gus.
To that end one night he wrapped himself
IN a white sheet and half mile from camp he
saw buck and two does. He gave a low
whistle and he says that the deer threw up
their heads and slowly moved toward him.
When the buck was within shooting distance
he fired and killed the animal.

LEARN TO UNITE STRINGS.

One story Of the eccentric Stephen Girard
says that he once tested the quality OF boy
who applied for a situation by giving him a
match loaded at both ends and ordering him
10 light H. The boy struck the match and
after it had burned half its length. threw il
away. Girard dismissed him, because he did
not save the other end for future use The
boys failure 10 notice that the match was
double ended one was natural enough. con-
siderng how matches are generally made; but
haste and heedlessness are responsible for a
greater part of the waste of property in the
world
Said one Of the most successful merchants
Of Cleveland. Ohio, TO lad who was opening
a parcel:
Young man, unite the strings. DO not cut
them"
1t was the first remark that he had made TO
a new employe. Il was the first lesson the lad
had TO learn. and il involved the principles of
success or failure in his business career Point
ing to a well-dressed man behind the counter

There is a man who always whips out his
scissors and cuts the strings Of the packages

CEYLON RURBER.

Rubber culture is rapidly becoming one of
the leading industries of the Island of Ceyon
The product has multiplied many fold in vol
ume within the last few years and its quality
Is so excellent that in the worlds markets it
commands the very highest price. Ii is put up
IN a special form that is known as "CeyIon
Biscuit and is of unrivaled purity The me-
thod of obtaining the crude substance from
the rubber trees resembles greatly the
way in which sap is drawn off in our
Carolina forests for the making of turpentine
These channels all run at their lower extrem-
ity into perpendicular incision, which in turn
empties its contents into little buckets, which
are placed at various intervals along It.
All the good men haven't died The world
is full of fine fellows, doing all that mind and
heart and soul can devise TO make this earth
sweeter place for all of us TO live.

INFL UENZA is REPORTED
IN FOURTEEN STATES
Georgia Is Accredited with % Gases.
Surgeon General Blue Urges the
Strictest of Regulations.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-More than
800 cases of influenza were reported
to the public health service this week
by fourteen states, but the disease
has not reached the proportions of
an epidemic in any state. The ser
vice announced today that the cases
reported generally were of a mild
type. States reporting and the num-
bers in each follow:
Alabama, 20; Arkansas, IA; Kan
sas, 81; Florida, %; Georgia, 23j
California, 81; Kentucky, 10; Louisi-
ana, 5; Maine, 5; Massachusetts,, 81;
Montana, 4; New Jersey, 20; New
York, 81; Washington, 8.
"The fact that the cases are of
mild type would seem to be hope
full sign" said Surgeon General Ru-
pert Blue. However, it is too early
to make a forecast with any degree
of certainty.
"The wisest thing to do is for ev-
ery person to avoid contact with those
affected. to keep out of crowds and
crowded places, to be on the lookout
for the first symptoms, and when
these appear to go directly to bed
and summon physician"

MASTER ROBBER IS

THEFTs. MILLIONS STOLEN.

NEW YORK, n. Y.-The SINISTER

rectiug the series of bond 1hefts,
which have resulted in the boss.
through trusted employees of bark
ing and brokerage houses in the #
nancial district of New York city,
of nearly fS1,00O,O00, according ITO
the belief of the police.
In no tdtlper manner can the 'au-
thorities account for the fact that m
experienced boys, some of thezn just
out of school, have been able TO pan
and execute successfully thefts of Sc
curhiies on & gigantic scale. No boys

startled Wal street.
Searching for Master Criminal.
Many of tine best trained minds of
New York city's detective force, be
sides scores of private detectives in
the employ of financial institutions
ana COMPANIES
lost heavily, are seeking the criminal
whose master mind directs the work
of the actual operatives. They are
working on the theory that the arch
criminal is man of unusual ability
and an intimate knowledge of the
habits of financial houses, and the
apparently loose methods in which
they send securities about the Wall
street district in the pockets Ur
satchels carried by young clerks.
1t is believed agents of the master
criminal scrape acquaintance with
banking and brokerage house messen-
gers, manage to involve them in
small debts, lure them to increase the
debts in the hope of getting even"
and then, when they are hopelessly
entangled, open before them the gilt
tering and easy rewards of a life of
crime.
