iMids in disaster, ns they break each
other's legs, which is certain death, or
become dizzy and fall down in a de
moralized heap. The kick of the ostrich
lias been known to destroy life.
In the opening chapter of llider llag
irard's ".less" there is a highly dramatic
iici'ount of a tight for life with an
ostrich, and it is historically correct.
In lighting they are apt to break their
own legs, they give such desperate
blows. Indeed, it would seem as if all
the itul eiiergicsof the great bird were
centered in its long, ungainly legs,
which are graceful only when going
across their native grass-covered plains
with a rapidity of motion that must be
Keen to be appi'ceiated.
I am only rehearsing a few of the pe
culiarities of the creatures which have
made it of interest ever since the davs
of .lob "which leave! h her eggs in the
earth and warmeth them in the dust."
It would appear to beau evidence of
cunning rather than stupidity for Mrs.
Ostrich to adopt this very simple meth
od of incubation. However, it has its
disadvantages, for while she is away
(jetting a good dinrer her enemy, the
white-necked crow, spies the ungarded
nc-t lie knows he can not break one
of those mammoth eggs a nil devises a
shrewd plan to help him. Taking a
hi one in his beak he Mies over the spot,
calculates with bird sagacity the neces
sary instance and drops the stone..
i'lunk! An egg is broken, and he de
scends to his feast. This is said to be
the same kind of a raven that fed the
prophet Elijah. Ilis wisdom seems al
most of a supernatural order.
It is said that the cry of an ostrich is
like the roar of a lion, and the Hotten
tots often run from it in fright until
they see the bird.
The ostrich is a generous layer.
Sixty eggs will be found in and around
i. single nest, due of these eggs is
equal to twenty-four hen's eggs. The
Hottentots and Kushmen cook an os
trich egg by putting one end in a hot
lire. Through an opening in the other
they stir the con ten Is, put ting in salt and
pepper, making a very palatable omelet.
It is nevei .jafe, to drop any article
when walking neara covey of ostriches.
'the ostrich will eat anything, seeming
apparently to have no sense of taste.
A story is told of a young girl who was
visiting a zoo w here a large ostrich
snatched licr kid gloves, which were
rolled into a ball, and ate them. The
next day the girl returned with the
iamily t ontril ution of a half-dozen
pairs 1,1 gloves, all of w inch were as
readily , allowed.
While the ostrich has absolutely no
brain see .lob for authority it has
vicious propensities that show some
fort of wicked intelligence. Some t ape
Town people had a fowl fatting in a
special coop near an ostrich kraal. The
bird drooped aiid grew thin. It was
watched and seen to peer through the
slats ot its coop, curious to watch its
neighbors, the ostriches. Every time
it put its head out it received a kiel
from its neighbor, and would soon have
died had it not been removed.
A meek-looking male ostrich stood
about with his consort looking so de
jected that some visitors remarked it
must be henpecked.
"Oh," laughed the host, ' he is hen
kicked," and they soi n saw him receive,
a staggering blow from his gentle
ppouse which sent him with drooping
leathers into a corner.
Old Lightning belonged to an ostrich
farm at San Diego, and was a magnifi
cent bird. Ho acquired his name from
the rapidity with which he could pluck
ji lighted cigar or pipe from a visitor
mouth or remove his watch and chain
or any other ornament ho could dis-
cover. The noiseless manner in which
he could steal up behind one and then
nip some personal property was re
inarkable. He was a natural-born
thief. Once he snatched all the flow
ers oil a young lady's hat. At another
time he attempted to swallow a dia
mond ear-ring, but as it was fast in its
owner's ear he could not manage it.
Old Lightning's greatest feat was
swallowing a lighted meerschaum pipe,
which he snatched from a visitor's
mouth. The keeper had seen him and
caught him around the neck and the
pipe was exhumed, the tobacco still
burning. Detroit l'ree l'ress.

I'HE INDIAN DATURA SEED
A Toluol! Tlmt Ik Oftim I'snri hy ICobbrrs ta
OvtircoiiH) l lmlr IvtliuH.
It lias been remarked that one of tha
greatest objections to the suppression
of hemp cultivation for smoking pur-
poses in India is that.it would drive tho
natives to the use of more dangorouj
sedatives. One of the drugs which th
coolio is the most prone to substitute
for His beloved hemp, when the latter
is not available. Is tho datura seed.
For many years it has been known to
the police and those engaged in medico
legal examinations that one of tho
favorite methods adopted by Indian
thieves to rob their victims has been
the administering of datura. The stu
pefying effects of this drug enables
them to carry on their depredations,
and at the same time avoid, in most
cases, the fatal results which attend
the use of other poisons.
1 he symptoms present in the individ
uals affected were loss of consciousness,
dilation of the pupils, picking at the
bed clothes, attempts to grasp imagin
ary objects, and from the movement of
their hands they all appear to bo draw
ing out threads from the tips of their
fin ers. When taken upon an empty
stomach the effects of the poison ara
usually discernible within ten minutes,
but in the case of a well nourished per
son half an hour or more elnpses before
its effects are perceptiblo. The rare
ness of fatal cases in connection with
the use of the poison is one of the chief
factors m its selection by the native
criminal.
The datura seeds may be gathered
almost anywhere in India, and also
easily purchased In tho bazars; so it
is hardly to be wondered at that such
a convenient Instrument should be so
popular amonjr the Indian criminal
classes. If it is desirable to render
any particular person helpless for a
given time the administration of tho
datura is the main difficulty, and this,
unless servants are absolutely trust
worthy, is not insuperable. The pe
riod before consciousness is restoreil af-
r taking a dose of the poison varies
in different individuals and is depend
ent very much on the state of the
health of the victim at the time it is
administered. Thus, in some cases a
complete recovery took place in two or
three days, or less, while In others un
consciousness has been known to last
as long as a, week.
The symptoms exhibited in inanv
cases resemble those of alcoholic poi
soning or delirium tremens. In soino
instances the poisoaed persons act un
der the belief that they are following
their ordinary occupations. For ex
ample, in one case a stonemason's la
borer was under the impression that it
was his duty to haul up everything in
his vicinity, not excepting his master;
in another case a groom was seized
with a desire to perform grooming op
erations on those with whom he came
in contact; and a third, a goldsmith,
seated himself on the floor intent on
following his usual vocation. Pitts

An old l'liUiidcrphln Custom Which
I'nlque us It Is Contuirlous.
Kveryone has heard of tho abnormal
clcauliness of the front steps of Phila
delphia houses, but there is a section
in which the streets are scrubbed every
morning, six days in the week, with
soapsuds. And this scrubbing is done
not by the hired girl, but by the lady
of the house herself.
Tho extraordinary practice prevails
in the section of the city bounded by
Diamond, llroad, Eighteenth and
Huntingdon streets. Kvery morning
of the week-, unless bad weather pro
vents, a double lino of women may be
seen scrubbing away and dashing
buckets of water upon tho pavements
to rinse off the soapsuds. These streets
are only about fifteen feet wido from
curb to curb, and tho narrowness of
them seems to engender a feeling of
responsibility for their cleanliness.
These ladies are possessed by this
queer mania to such an extent that
they hire women to do their scrubbing
nbotit their houses, but reserve the
btreet cleaning for their own special
recreation.
Some of the women wero asked why
they did such unpleasant work. One
woman, who did not seem to particu
larly like tho employment, smiled quiz
zically and said:
"That's just the question every one
of us asked when we moved Into this
locality. We called tho other women
idiots for doing it for about a week,
and then we got ashamed of seeing the
pavement in front of our own particular
bouse so much dirtier than our neigh
bor's, and so we got to work and did as the
other women do, scrub our part of the
street every morning. It isn't a bit
nice and I don't like to do it, but it has
become the custom and I can't stand
against it. The house may wait for a
scrubbing and tho children may run
wild, but we can't neglect the street
"How did such a ridiculous custom
become established," was asked,
"Nobody knows. It just broke out
like an epidemic of measles, I suppose,
and when it oncu got started nothing
could stop it."
"What do your husbands think about
this street scrubbing?"
"Our husbands? Oh, they growl a
little, but that doesn't matter.
Other women were asked if they
scrubbed tho pavements becauso they
liked the work. They all seemed to
think the question preposterous: "I
certainly don't like it. What in the
name of goodness is there to like about
it?"' That is tho answer one made, and
without exception all those who were
questioned ntllrmed there was nothing
they detested more than to get out In
the street and scrub.

did it if they didn't like it, some said
they did it becauso the neighbors did,

Ons Kind of V.eimomy,
The young man wanted to marry the
girl, but he was a reckless chap, spend
ing his salary up close, and tho girl's
father didn't like to take such a risk.
"About how much do you save each
year'.'" he asked the youth, who had ap
proached him on the subject.
"I should bay about four dollars
vear," he laughed, for he was not the
kind of a young man who thinks it's
wife's duty to teach a young man how
to save.
"I'm 11111-cr," calculated the old
man, "four dollars a year, four dol
lars a year. Well, you can have the
girl," he went on briskly and in busi
ness tones, "but you've got to wait for
her until you have saved one hundred
thousand dollars. That's the amount
I determined her husband shall have.
Of course, it will take tweuty-fivc thou
sand years, and a good deal may hap
pen in that time; but your kind of econ
omy, my boy, is bound to get tliera
and by. Good morning". "V-
