Within six uillmel In Angeles, Cat., en
what Is known as the old Temple street read,
Dr. l J. .Hketchley has started an ostrich

business for many yenrs, and Is the author
of n number of Usiks ou the ostrich, and the

menU The result is the Hketchley ostrich
farm.
On the sixty ncrcs of land devoted te thocn thecn
trlclies there are thirty pairs of these beautl
f ul birds, I sldes a number of young ones
recently hatched.
Their IikxI consists almost wholly el corn
and nlUtfA, which is n lienullbil plnnt of the
l.urerne family. Ieng exporlence has shown
that this hill el fare will cause the ostrich te
produce mere feathers andel a hetler quality
than any ether diet. Kach male is mated,
and the two birds bave two acres of ground,
'llie land Is fenced oil Inte lets of ene acre
each. The two birds are kept lu ene of thee
lets until they have eaten oil all the alfalfa,
when they are transferred te the ether, being
thus alienated between the two. Frem the

tor's residence Uie ostrich grounds leek like

birds like the big pieces scattered ever IU
"All the lull grown ostriches you see,"
nald the doctor, " 1 Imported directly from
Atrica, landing them In this country ntllal ntllal
vesten, and bringing with them four M.ulra M.ulra
nese men and one w emaii, the people of that
tribe being mero familiar wllh the ostrich
than any native Africans. Thus far my ex
crlineiit has succeeded lieyend my exiH-cta-tleus.
Net only are the ostriches qui te in
luialthy as lu Africa, but Uiey are actually
mere prelltlc here than In Ihelr nallve coun
try, both In the number of eggs they lay and
the utimlier of young ones they hatch, and
also lu the quantity of leathers they produce
-resulla due, I beliove, te Ibis glorious ell
mate, which seems greatly te increase the
lertlllty of all animals. I'lie feathers are
lully equal lu nil resjiects te any grown In
Africa.
" Tlie height or the birds Is from b te 12
feet. Their weight varies from eOO te KM
lietiuds. The msle Is much the larger, and
Is black, while the lemale Is gray. Where,
then, you will ask, de white ostrich feathers

male and lemale bird among the loeio feath
ers of the wings and tail. It Is the (act that
they are se much rarer tlmt uinkes Ihein se
much mero doslred, and, consequently, he
much higher lu prlce than blacK or gray
feathers, for In some rcspecbi 1 consider
them inferior te the ether leathern.
" The female ostrich does net begin le lay
eggs until It Is I years old, but It produces

number of less valuable ones. Tlie leathers
are net plucked, but are cut oil, quite close
le the skill, with large shears made for the
purpose. Ne pain whatever is Indicted In
the operation. Wllhln a few daya alter the
leathers have leeii cut the stubs dry and
xhrlvel te such an extent that they are easily
removed. The longest and Hnesl white

geed feathers are worth f'JOO a pound. The

" We very Holdout )ermlt tlie ostriches le

1 reminded the doctor of a promlse he had
mndu me te show me a feet race between
ostriches. We Immediately went te a bread,
een space, between the ostrich pens and the
house. One of llie keepers opened the deer
of ene or the pens, and in response te the
doctor's call, twosuperu oitricliea canie run
ning te him. After caressing llie gentle
creaturovrera few moments he showed them
a handful of figs, of which they rue extreme
ly loud. Twe of his men then restrained
the birds by placing nooses about their legs,
until he and myself had walked away about
a quarter or a rnlle. Then, at a signs! rrem
the doctor, the birds were released nnd the
race began. It was a rare sight. Ornitholog
ists tell us that the stride el the ostrich w hen

that In this raw for a handful et ligs from

Insult te the houeiod author. A writer llke

ske. proportion, and style or binding of Ills
works ought somehow express, or at least
hnrmonl.e wlt'i, the char.tcter and quality of
the works Ihemselve.
That Isjusl what this new edition I am
telling of does. I knew thore hns long been
In llie Hinrketnu edition, Uie only worthy
ene I knew el till quite lately, but was be bo be
yend my means or willingness te buy; rer It
cinui ra per volume, nnd thore are evor a

surprised when I came across an advortlso advertlso advortlse
monl koiiie weeks age of Mr. Jehn R. Alden,
the cheap .New Yerk publisher, ollerlng a
nmoveluniQ edition, lxmndln hair morocco,
marhleii wipes, etc, Just like thatfla volume
edition, at the incredibly low ligure et IS ler
tli setcomplete 1 New I knew Mr. Alden
did publish Heme remarknbly cheap books,
but some of them which 1 had seen several
years age, while worth all or the low prlce
were yet net the kind or books I cared te have
In Hiy library ler permanent use. He 1 did
net pay much attention te this advorllsc adverllsc advorllsc
me'it. The ether day, howev or, 1 recolved,
a volume of Oelkle's "Hours with the Itible'1
rrem Uils same publisher at Just as ridicu
leusly low a price, and printed and bound
te correspond nearly with the advertised do de do
Hcrlpllenor living's works. I examined It,
and round II te lie a leally bandaome and
everyway well made boeK, worth at least
double the price, I thought te myself "If
Irving Is made in as geed a style I want the
whele set." Ke I sent for a nainple volume,
which was ollered as a specimen for lllty
cents. It Arrived promptly, nnd 1 must say
put my doubts le shame.
I don't bellev e thore has ev or been ellered

well, but better than most higher priced
books, In hnlf nioreo-o. with marbled edges ;
the workmanship ou the volumes Is honestly

they are lastelully made. Thoerdorot the

As I opened the package containing the
books I could net help thinking back half
regretfully le the tlme when I used te pere
ever n llttle Tauchnltz edition et this author.
Hew It would have Increased my delight lu
these days te have hail an edition like the
present one from which le study my favorlte!
And hew much stronger, perhaps, my eyes
would Ih) te-day if then 1 had cared u llttle
mere ler slze aud clearness of type lu what 1
read !
Tiiri.i it is u been the prosent goneratlen
cannot tee gratefully appreciate, the marvel marvel
leus cheipnuss el even Uie best literature lu
excellent form. There Is no longer au ox ex ox
cuse lelt for anyene net te read and own the
standard works of our language. And
among them surely the delicious writings el
our own Washington Irving must ever held
a plaeein the Irent rank. As Charles Dud
ley Warner says, In the volume ou Irving In
the American Meil et Letters Sories, "The
service that he rendered te American letters
uocrllie disputes; nor Is there any u,uestlen
of our nntleuul indebtedness te him rer In
vesting a crude and new laud with the en
during charms or romance nnd tradition. In
this respect, our obligation te him Is that of
.Scotland te Scott and Hums; aud it is an ob
ligation due only, In all history, te here and
them a fortunate creator te whose genius op
portunity is kind,"
If evor the works of any author had the
right te spenk as did that " llttle thick quarto,
curiously bound in parchment, wllh brass
clasps," with- which Irving held such a
quaintly charming conversation ou the Mu
lability of Literature, then certalnly his own
works hnve that rlghL Nearly every vol vel vol
ume of thorn can truly eay:""Hlr, 1 was
written for all the world, net for the book
worms or an "abbey, l was intended te circu
late from hand te hand, like otber great con
temporary works I" Fer as Mr. Warner
again says : " His writings induce te reflec
tion, te quite musing, te tenderness rer tradi
tien ; tuey amuse, uiey entertain, tney call a
check te Uie fmerislmess et modern life ; but
they are rarely stimulating or suggestive.
They are better adapted, It must be ewued,
te ploase the many than the critical few, who
deuiand mere Incisive treatment and a
deepor-censtderation el the problems of life.
And It is very fertunate that a writer who
can reach the great public aud entertain it
can alto olevato and refine its tastes, set be
fore It high ideas, Instruct It agreeably, and
nil this in a style that belongs te the best lit
erature." In another place this same keen
and truthful critic calls attention te a charac
teristic or Irvlng's that should make him
specially dear le all levers of the pure, true
nnd geed in literature. ' Llke Scott," he
says, ue uoieugod te the IdeallsU, and uet
te the realists, whom our generation atlects.
llelh writers stimulate the longing ler some
thing better. Thelr croed is short : ' Love
lied and honor the King.' It is a very geed
ene for a literary miiu, aud might de ter a
Christian. The siieruatural was still a
reality lu the uire in which thnv wrntn.
Irvlng's faith In (led and his leve el human
ity wero very simple ; I de notsuppeso he
was much disturbed by the deep problems
that have set us all adrllr, The bent
or Irvlng's spirit was llxed in his youth, aud
he oscaped the desperate realism or this gen
eration, which has no outcome, aud is likely
te preduce little that la noble."
It Is that combination, new se tare, of a
pjic Lcatl aud pure style, and el real rever-
mm with MHlM humor, le ea who wm
by nature, Int Mid foremost, a story-teller,
that makes Irving net only one or the meat
enterUlnlng ami delightful writers for
young people as well aa old, but also, as tlie
critic before quoted mays t A aafe model for
young readers and for young roadeni there
Is very Utile In the overwhelming Heed of
te-day that Is comparable u Irvlng's books,
and, especially, it seems le me, because lliey
were nut written for children." Certainly
If there Is one thing for which my gratitude
te my Ixiyuoeri'a literary guide shall never
wane, but rather slmd lly Increase with years,
It Is for having early led me te read the
Munich Heek et Irving, and next the Heart
ei xinuieimvi anu lvauuueni noeiu They
saved me Irem readlng all innnner et trash
that then was in vegue among the young.
They gave me a standard according te which
te Judge ether books. They, and twrtlcu
larly Irving, did mere than all else put to
gether le glve direction and form te my lit
erary tastes ; le enable me te tell dress irem
geld, cuafrrretn grain, and te make me pre
fer the latter te the former.
Tim fact Is, If wecanonce get our boys
and girls te read books llke Irvlng's, we noed
net have very much anxlely alwut what
they read allerwards. When a body once
has tasted a geed apple he will net likely
take te eating rotten ones allerwards. And
I hardly knew of anether author se suitable
lu overy way ler starting our young people
In the formation or pure nnd henlthy literary
tastes and habits. Fer se entertaining Is he
that thore will seldem be any treuble in gel
ting anyene at oneo Intrusted In him. That
Isiy or girl, indeed, who doesn't enjoy Kip
Van Wlnkle, Trait or Indian Chat-actor, Le
gend el Hleepy Hellew, and the several
Christmas sketches, muslhaventaste already
vitiated almost beyond redemption. And if
they have read anu enjeyed the charming
pages of the Hkelch Heek, they will need no
urging te go en te the Tales or a Traveler,
the Conquest of Granada, IheKnlckorbeckor
History, and seen through the whele series
or his works. And, finally, having dene this,
they will ever alter knew geed llternture
from Inforler, and unless otberwlso jr
verted, will always prefer the form or te the
latter ; even mero than this, they will have a
geed foundation laid for the formation el a
pure style of wrlUng In their own produc
tions. Kkiht lifie, tee, I would suggest that the
very host way te get anyene te read a Ixwk,
especially young folks, Is te get them first te
own that book. And what Indeed could be
mero useful, appropriate and acceptable le
anyone, young or old, who has It net yet en
the parlor shelf or library, than the gift of
such a beautiful set of the works of se stand
ard and onleyable mi author as Washington
Irving? As a birthday or Christmas present
nothing could be mero proper. It Is a work
that hns nover yet grown out et style, nor
oyer will, 1 hope. Whoever has net yet
rend Irving ought le read him nt once It is
almost a duty. (Ilvo him a set and he will
probably de It, nnd thnnk you for It ever
after. Whoever has read him also wants te
ponseas him, and ought te. Don't let him
get some dear "cheap" "holiday edition,"
ruinous te the eyes, and tee ugly and poorly
made te bear handling ; but get him such an
edition as this ene I have been talking about
It will be delnga geed deed besides. Fer I
bolleve Irving te be a new or for geed whor wher whor
ever read. Anyhow, I would like nothing
better than te have overy family In the city
own and enjey his works with uie.

Through mountain passes bleak and blown,

And glistened orange, tig and lime
Where song birds made melodious chime,
