THE GLUTTON OSTRICH. ‘How the Greed of One of ‘the Animals Was Punished,

For eid appetites ‘the goat ‘and the oe trich stand supremo, ‘ith the ostrich just

a stepahead, and yet an ostrich finds treu-

ble in swallowing a hot potato. A Seuth African writer tells an amusing stery of greed and how ftwas punished. Me says:

These ostriches were a source of ‘ondless troable to us. ‘Yhey grew rapidly and de- veloped great kicking powers wntil they became somefimes positively dangerous, Kaftirs coming in for most of their attentions. ‘Their appetite ‘Was insatiable. We used to make large cuantities of biltong, or sum dried meat, and there were usually dozensof strips of hanging on reims slung from wagon to wagon, and these were always objects

| of attention on the part of the ostriches.

It was pwst amusing to see ene trying to

} swallow a stripa yard longand two inches

thick, just as a chicken strnggles with a worm that is a little too big fer it. Once we had to drag a huge striy»out of one of the birds’ throats to save it from choking.

Rut ‘it was the culinaryd¢partment that interested them most. They would always attack the Katftlirs bringirg the viands from ‘the kitchen to the tent and some- times were so pertinavious that the boy would get frightened and shrow the dish away and bolt, and we would lose the best of our dinner. They would even come into the tent andnatch things off the table, and we woulé take it out them by smothering a dainty morsel with salt and cayenne pepper, but after awhik they seemed to flourish on is.

One day, however, we got the laugh on Dinner was \preparing, and ene of the birds was investigating the pots around the fire. A great pot of huge po- tatoes took his fancy, and he incontinently seized and swallowed ia redhot tuber as ing as a large pomegranate. He danced, 4e jumped, he kicked, he twisted his neck about almost inte kwots, he flapped his wings and wagyzled his-tail, he ran amuck, Knocking things dowm=and banging him- self up against the wagons and stone walls, and at last tore away into the veld at 20 miles an hour-mntil he was out of sight and did not appear again for a cou- ple of hours.

Every morning soon after sunrise these birds would indulge ‘in a dance. They would rush away into the veld for ahout a wnile and then suddenly stop and com- mence waltzing round and round in the

OL

most ridiculous fashion, often till they |

dropped. I never -ceu)d meaning of this performance. It might be

mere gamboling, but .if soit must be near- | ly the only case of young birds playing, as

80 many young animals do.

STORY FROM A MUSEUM. Punching Bags Were Made and Used Many Centuries Ago.

In a Roman museum isa toile§ case in which some fair lady keps her combs, brushes and paint pots about 2,200 years ago, as hear asthe -savantscan guess. This Cista, as it is called, was dug up in Pales- trina, the ancient Preeneste. and is beau- tifully engraved with pictures representing the adventures of the:argonauts.

These argonauts sailed to the land of the Bebrykes aed arrived very thirsty, but were prevented fram :;drinking até the spring until ome of ‘trem, Pollux, had knocked out King Armycus in a boxing match without gloves. So are argonauteé

: resolved to keep in practice. This Pales- : trina cista represents:ane of them bang- . ing away ata punching bag hung from a . tree limb while fat -old : him.

This bag, by ite shapeaand appearance,

was presumably filied with grain, and was }

mot so well adapted for developing quick- mess as the modern windthag, but it was gpretty good for 2,200 years ago, after all. ‘Perhaps some scientist will yet dig upa ppneumatic tired bicycle-or-arepeating rifle.

George Washington's faise teeth were

sgmnong the first ever used ip America after the rediscovery of the art:af. making them by some Frenchman, but {rey were not ‘exactly a novelty im one -eense. At any ‘rats, there has been dug axo in Cornet, Italy, a set of very commodiews false teeth which must have been builti!:efore the be- ginning of the Christian era.

As for safety pins, needles: and suchlike smnali Yankee notions, the | troglodytes had.them long before there wes any such thing as history invented. It’s hard to prove with certainty that any: novelty is really, new.—Exchange.

‘Number Six” In the Labor “W orld,

A ‘businesslike young fellow ,with the air of a clerk now began to move among the men, and they showed the keenest in- terest in his approach. I hesrd them speak of him «s the timekeeper, but I ‘kad no knowledge of such a functionary,:and I wondered whether he had any ‘business with me. He hailed me with a tbrisk “What is your number?’’ I invked atjhim in surprise. ‘‘He’s a new hand,’’ shouted the boss from his elevation. ‘‘ What's your name?’ asked the timekeeper as he turned @ page in his book. I told him, and whep he had written it he drew from his pocket a brass disk upon which was stamped the number six, and this he told me te wear suspended by its string and to show it te him asoften ag he made his rounds.— ‘‘The Workers,” by Walter A. Wyckoff, ix Scribner’s.

He Got the Turnip Back.

An absentminded gentleman, who was a landlord, went ome day to call on a ten- ant who chanced te be in great distress over the death of a valuable cow. Ths man garrulously detailed the circum- stances of the death.

‘‘Nothing ailed her. like.”’

‘Ha, moum!’? responded the absent- minded man, thinking ali the while of something else.

“She had been eating turnips,’’ went en the tenant, ‘‘and when it was all over and we looked in her mouth there was & turnip sticking in her throat, whole.”’

“Oh, then,’ said the absentminded

FISH WITH WINGS.

| Somethimg About These Queer Dwellers Im the Sea.

The ‘tring fish loves deep water-end is found ‘throughout the length and breadth of tropical-seas. He is fond of feeding near the gulf weed:of the Sargasso and depos- | its his stringy, glutinous spawn on its yel- Vessels bound from New York to the Caribbee islands, says Forest and Stream, upon reaching the ‘‘ horse lat- itudes,”’ sometimes encounter vast -quan- tities of drifting weed, strung out into | long ribbonlike patches about an eighth of } a mile apart.

Among the golden weed, with #s deli- | wate leaves and globular seeds, exists a cu-

rious family of cuttlefish, crabs, mollusks ' and ‘small fishes. Upon these the flying | fish preys, and they in turn devour its ' spawn. Every plunge of the steamer as | she plows throngh the blue tropical waters frightens dozens of flying fish into the air, where they scatter in all directions, with the sunlight glistening on their gauzy wings.

The flying ‘fish of the Atlantic attains a length of nearly one foot and a breadth between wing tips of ll inches. He hasa round, compact body, about 1 inch in di- ameter near the pectoral fins or wings. There is alse:an auxiliary pair of ventral fins or wings, not nearly so large as thé pectural pair. The wings are formed by a thin, transparent membrane stretched over a delicate bony framework, and are either black, white or mottled with both. The upper ha‘f ofthe entire fish is a metallic | blue in color, while the lower portiges is a nacreeus white. Black, prominent eyes, & small, prehensile mouth, forked tail, dorsal and anal fins complete the picture | of oneof the most interesting little fishes in a)] nature's wast aquarium.

In flights he.darts from the water toa height of 20 fest:and goes scndding rapid- ly with both wings and tail. He sails straight away for 1,000 feet, or even more, occasionally touching the crest of a wave and seeming te gain a new impetus by the contact.

Specks Before the Eyes.

The generality of mankind have in alli probability, at ome period or the other, been troubled by specks floating before the eyes, and this condition of affairs is fre- quently caused by.a torpid condition of the liver. These specks are occasioned by some forcign substance floating in the aqueous humor. The image of an object is formed on the retina in the back part of the eye, and the foreign object passes before that field, casting a shadow upon it in the same manner that clouds float be- tween the earth and ;the sun, castmmg a shadow upon the earth. Of course it in- terferes with a clear vision and is notice- able tc a greater or less extent. These specks are foreign substances which should have been eliminated. With a torpid liver and a torpid eliminatien these foreign substances accumulate in the boty every- where, and it is common for them to be thrown into the cavity of ghe eye. They occasion considerable anneyance and can only be relieved of this disturbing element by improving the eliminati@n to the ex- tent that all foreign mattter;is removed from the body. ‘This can be dono by reg- mlating the diet.—New York Ledger.

Beaded his fellow’s teeth and wore The trophies in bis hair.

Time is when ruthless savage, swart, And slaves of fashion, fair,

Fiay God’s sweet choristers to sport The trephies in their hair.

Where lies the onus of the doom? Who flaunt symbolic pain?

How long shall sanguined stigma stain The brow of vanity?

LONDON’S PAST PLEASURES. Eiow Its Inhabitants Amused Themselves a Century or Twa Ago.

The Londoner in the long past might motire to Bagnigge Wells, near the pres- ent King's Cross, or Florida gardens, Brompton (Brompton was noted 100 years ago for its ‘‘salubrious air’’), or the Marylebone gardens and Bowling Green, mentioned by Pepys as ‘‘a pretty place’’ so long ago as 1668, or the Bayswater Tea gardens, which flour- ished till after the middle of the pres- ent cewtnury, there to sit in a summer house Overgrown with honeysuckle and sweetbrier, drinking tea, then held in mucheesteem as a fashionable beverage, and eating cheese cakes, ‘‘heart cakes,’’ Chelsea buns, syllabubs, jellies, creams, hot loaves, rolls and butter, while a band performed a concerto by Coreili or the last new composition by Mr. Handel, ‘‘The Master of Musick,’’ orasinger gave the last new song by Dr..Arne. Afterward his visitors might enjoy the privilege of drinking new mikx from the cow and picking flowers ané@ fruit, ‘‘fresh every hour in the day,’’ a great attraction, doubtless, for Londoners at a period when frnit and flowers were neither so cheap nor so ‘abundant in the metropolis as they are “at present. Nor were more artificial amusements lacking. In addition to illuminations, fireworks and masquer- ades, attended by the world of fashion ‘from princes downward, there were rmiscellarneous entertainments of every ‘pert.

A high scaffolding was erected in “Marylebone gardens in 1736 for a pred- ecessor of Blondin called ‘‘the flying man,’’ who was advertised to fly down “on arope pushing a wheelbarrow before In May, 1785, Lunardi, the first aeronaut who went up ina balloon in England «and was quaintly called ‘‘the first aerial traveler in English atmos- phere’’ by contemporary prints, de- scended unexpectedly one afternoon in the Adam and Eve Tea gardens in the neighborhood of Tottenham Court road, ‘then a resort of fashion, and was tp- roariously welcomed by the populace in acknowledgment of his flight. Later on aeronautic flights became a speciul feature of all these pleasure gardens. Ponds containing goldfish—a novelty sin the middle of the eighteenth ceatury -—were reckoned as another of their ‘special attractions and were advertised vas ‘‘gold and silver fish, which afford pleasing ideas to every spectator,’’— Temple Bar,
