OR . I characteristics of Gvaufornla Ostrlohes. T Silly fear and ferocity are the character- istics of ostriches everywhere. Some are more ill tempered, but all are dangerous if not approached with care. No method has been discovered by which they can be plucked except that of drawing a stock- ing over their head, leaving a hole for the bird to breathe." To accomplish this the bird is lured close to the fence of the corral bypa delicacy like corn, and is then `seized by the neck. J ust as soon as it is hooded in this way it is comparatively helpless, for it will not kick unlessit can see what it is kicking at. One way to pluck them is to have a small corral, the `back of . which is movable. By pushing this up they could be pinioned. The feathers are taken from the breast, wings and tail, all above the dreaded kicking apparatus`. At pr esent the ostrich keepers press upon the bird from behind, and as long as they keep behind they are safe. The man whoplucks proceeds with dis- ` patch. _ An adult bird is plucked every seven months, and yields about twenty-. five long feathers and several tips. The tips are taken T from_the wings. The feathers onthe back are left for" the Drotection of the bird. Duringthis pluck- ing operation men have been. kicked, by the birds, but not hurt. Had the birds had a fair forward kick, the result could hardly have been other than fatal to the` person kicked. Unlike the emu, which is exhibited often as an African ostrich, they have but one toe on each foot. This is a terrible weapon. The bird kicks for- ward. 4 The force is shown by the exploit of one bird, which: kicked a stout board on the side of its corral and broke it in two at one blow. - The too is pointed and. willcut like a knife. l " fearing unhealthy" food. * - . - She was a Methodist.

V It appears that this stands sixth among all industries in this country in the amount of capital used, being exceeded only by metals, cottons, woolens, and worsteds, lumber and flour; and its growth is shown by the `fact that, whereas in 1860 the produc- tion in the United Statesrwas something over 13,000,000` barrels, in 1885 it was over 18,000,000. The United States stands third in the list of beer-produc- ing countries--Great Britain at the last general estimate brewing. 1,000,000,000 gallons, Germany 900,000,000, ` and the United States 600,0_00,000.

" vu ulna u.ILu.uo 1 ' Prince Lumbomiro ki, who was an- thorized to visit one of the mines of the lfral at the /time when it was not sus- pected that he would publish an account- of his exploration in French, has given an appalling account of what he saw. Convincts racked with the joint pains which quicksilver produces; men whose hair and eyebrows had dropped off, and who were gaunt as skeletons, were kept to hard labor under the lash. Five years in the quicksilver pits are enough to turn a man of 30 into`an apparent sexagenarizin, but some have been known to struggle on for ten years. No man who has served in the mines is ever allowed to return home. The most he can obtain in the way of grace is leave to come up and work in the road- ways, and it is the promise of this favor llll/ll |oll\.I xlltl-:0 \Il.\4\l as a reward for industry which operates even more than the lash to maintain discipline. Women are employed in the mines as sitters, and get no better treatment than the men. - ua l LIUVUI UUUUSUU UL LU- I . , I On another occasion, in full minis-* | terial council, he suddenly exclaimged: : Ah, gentlemen, I have just hada letter from the princ3.imperia.l. lie is a.
