He walked away to speak tu his mate, w ho was now la-nding over the rail, layer ing intently through the mist that half- oliscured a long jutting pr ntory of the island to the windward.

Camel-raising has failed in Nevada, but the ostrich ranch is destimtil to I at -on if a pnunuient feature south of the Sierra Madn-s. Two Knglish eonijianies were organized three years ago and the pnis-ja-ets are so extremely favorable that the live st.a-k is lieing rapidly added to. An other henl of ostriches has la-en recently bn night from South Africa and a new ranch started near Los Angeles. Through the courtesy of the pmprietors and at the risk of continually exciting and annoying the birds the ostrich farm is thmw n oja-n to the publie, a nominal change lieing made to jmy the exja-nse of a guide, who gia-s an urn. 1 with each -ar ty to see that inquisitive Americans do not help themselves to plumes. The henl or flia k at the nint h iiumla-rs sixty-four at present. "The tjuestions aiple ask are some what n-markable," said our guide as we n-achdl the ostrich farm and stopped in fmiit of a i-n of two-year-old chicks. " ( hie man wanttil to know here the birds naisttil and one of our boys told him on the fenee. " Hut how is it they don't get intoeaeh other's pens?' lie next asked. ' Oh,' said the boy,' we go around in the morning with a lantern and shove them olf into their own jns.' Most jieo ple think that the birds run their heads into the sand or bash w hen afraid. They got this idea from the old primers, you know. The ditlit-ulty is Unit the tame adult ostrich is afraid of noting and it is a dangerous matter to go into the ja-ns." The guide vaulted the main fenee and appnuiched the corral, w here a fine male was kept to show its metlnal of manifest ing its rage. The bird, which was at least eight feet high, immediately runic near to him and at first seemed looking at a place on his head to jai-k, then, bracing back, it pitched forward, then again liack and after finally settling tiam its knees it lifted its wings and the w its neck back, striking its head violently ii 011 each side of its back alternately, mak ing a somewhat similar movement with its wings, pn-seutinga picture altogether indescribable, except by iiistantautnus photography. A HANOKKors IIIKII. When for any reason the keeia-rs enter the corral they take a long aile w ith a crotch at the end, and w hen the birds make for them they an. gently met by this, placed against the neck. This is ab solutely necessary, as the birds kick for w ard and have la-en know n to kill a man instantly, though not here. The legs are enormously jaiwerful and the two ti-s armed with fonuitladle claws, one Wing tw o inches in length and capableof a vig onms blow. The ranch embraces alsmt two hun dr.id aen-s, is on flat, sandy adola- soil, selected for its immunity from frost. The farm is dividul olf into a numla-rof cor rals. The largest contains the twii-year-old binls line si-cinicns, all extn-mely tame ami well feathertil. Alamt one half the land is sown! with alfalfa, the clover of the country, this forming the principal fiaalof the birds, which n-nuire an abundance of gn-eu material. Kadi bird eats, by actual weight, alamt forty jMiiiuils of alfalfa a day, la-sides, corn, car rots, ground shells, cct. In the inner corral of alamt ten acn-s then are sub divisions of ja-ns enclosed with fences four feet high, in which, w ith one exception, w here then- was a young bnaal, then- wen- bnnling jiitirs, a male iiml female, the latter distinguished by its slnallcr statun- and brownish gray color the males having the black plum age, with white tail and wing feathers. The birds in the large corral are foiling continually and the others an- given the alfalfa and various vegetables twice a day. Shells and la-hides an- bnmght ontv a week from the seashon- and the former when gnmnd, an- given the birds to help nuike egg-shells and the latter pn-suni-ably to aid in digestion. iiatviii.no the chicks. The female bin! sets all day and alamt sumlow 11 the male takes her place and n-lieves her until sunrise. The nest is merely a shallow sjait made by scratch ing a hole four or five feetacniss and ten or twelve inches deep. Hen-Jhe hen lays from twelve to sixto-n eggs, each weighing alamt four (annuls. An egg is laid every other day, and a giaal nest for setting will weigh seventy-five (amnds. If the eggs are taken from a nest the hen will sometimes lay twice as many. This cin-unistance is going to la- taken advan tage of and eggs w ill la-taken from the nest an.l planed in an incuharor. The young an-hatched in forty-two days by the hints and the chicks an- watched by them for a mouth or more with gn-at care, after which they an- taken from the parents ami corralled. In a month from this time the hen la-gins to lay again, and an ordinary bird will pnaluce thro bnaals a year and a-rha(is forty young birds, w hile tirst class hints lay ninety eggs a year. Assuming that of these sev enty live, these w ill la-gin to lay, w hen four years old, though they cannot la? Hinsiden-il first-class binls until older, when they hiive a n-eord like their par ents of sixty or seventy birds a year. I&inls ililh-r gn-at ly, and in their selection ja-rhaps the gn-atest stiTet of the trade lies. Snne never make giaal bn-eders, laying inferior eggs. Kxja-rt ostrich men, that is nu n who have made the hints an intelligent study, of course have the ad vantage, and can tell more readily a giaal bn-eder than a gni-n haml. Yet so free are the birds from disease or tmnbles of any kind that undoubtedly mrtit-s with little or 110 exa-rience would meet with few drawbacks, and as the incn-ase after a few years is very rapid then- is much to encourage one. The birds had la-en plucked a few days previous to our visit ami so did not pre sent as attractive an aplH-arancc, though the plucking tlia-s not strip then, as is sometimes thought. They an- jMucktal alamt every seven or eight months, laith sexes pnalucingalamt twenty-five living white plumes that an- valunl, raw or salted, at from $:? to -". Smieof the two year old chicks had lat-n plucked thn-e times, at tirst w hen six months old.

This ranch is the pioneer one in the country and it was established, in 1SK5 as an exa-riinent to determine whether os trich fanning was at all practicable hen-. The incentive lay in the fact that the business in South Africa has assumed mammoth proartions ami the ostrich feather as an article of iuiart ranks next to the diamond. To show la-tter the val ue of the industry, fifty millions is est i inattil to Ih- invested in the industry in Ca(H' Colony w hile the Orange Fn-e State the Transvaal and Natal have at least as much more. The ostrich men there n--eeive seven million dollars for the feath ers they send out, of w hit-h America, that nreivcH one-lialf the lot, pays certainly four milllion dollars, la-sides the imairt duty of fifty (H-r cent. U(am raw feathers and twenty-five ti(an dressol. These figures naturally set capitalists to think ing and the n-stilt is the ostrich ranch. That the Smth Africans are jealous of their prenigative is evident fnmi the enormous ex(art duty they charge, amounting to five hundred dollars tin ev ery bird taken from the country, iires(i--tive of age, and one hundred and twenty live on each egg. In other won Is, they are determined to make the business as exja-nsive as(Mssgbletoothersanil to pre vent any opposition in this country. The ranch recently visited is astia-kcom(iany, with a capital of thirty thousand dollars. Operations were ln-gun thn-e years ago, with twenty-two binls. The Southern California ex(ierimental ists are naturally reticent as to the profits Br aid of their undertaking. It is not to their interest to encourage the formation of too many faruis, but that it is a auccestt every one in this section knows. "The great thing alamt it is," said the guide, "that the binls nm-ly, if ever, get sick and they live to (a-rlmi a hnmlnil years. I'hilmlrlphin Timr. " WHATS IN A NAME?' II V niSHOP CLAKK OK HIIODK ISLAND. A few months ago I had something to say alamt the origin of names, and there are other curious things connected with this subject which may inten-st our n-ad- ers. Every human ln-ing is presumo! to . - nave a name of his own some title or designation by which he is distinguished from those alsmt him. But in ancient times every (a-rsoii had to la- content with one name, until the Itomans intnt duced the fashion of having three names, the tirst of these denoting the individual, the sound the gens, or clan, to which he la-loiigol and the thinl his family n-Ia-tionship. It will ! n-mcmla-nil that in the New Testament the various Jameses, an- distinguished by the titles, 'the son of Alpheiis,' 'the son of Jela-do-,' 'the soil of Mark," ami so on. The same device is adopted in sja-aking of the Johns and fit her familiar names in the sacn-d ro-ord. A gn-at many surnames in our day an derived from Christian names, with the addition of son at the end, such as I lick son, .Johnson, Thomson, etc. In the early a-riialsof Christianity, af- ter the (.1.1 pagan names had liccn .lis- j" ''.

The gn-at embarrassment and inotnven-it-nce arising from the common use of the same name, led, after a while, to the in tnatuetioii of surnames, indicating, in some instances, the La-ality in which the jiersons lived ; and this is the origin of such names as Byfield, Crnlci-wisul, Bridgewater. After the eleventh o-ntury these surnames wen- (a-nnanently adopt ed, and transmitted from one generation to another. In onler t indicate the fart tif destrnt the Hebn-ws pn-lixed the word Ben, or Hill, to the surname, as in Bt-n-davids; in the Welsh tongue we have the word Ap, as iu Ihivid ap Howell (now changol to Powell with lis), and the Si.fch Mac ami the Irish O" mean the same thing. The adoption of more than one Christian name is a modern innova tion. Shakesia-an-. Milton, ba ke and Cnm.wt ll were content with one. In j these days it may miuire an effort of! memory on the (mrt of the officiating j minister when he is called to baptize a child. j It is singular to oltservc in how many j cases the original meaning of pni(a-r j names hits lat-n lost sight of.

Then-are not less than twenty-eight surnames derived from Wil liam, such as Williamson, Wilkins, Wil son. Willis, and hi on. The strangest changes have eome U(a.n names, often simplifying them by the t le st met ion of la.th their meaning and their la-anty. Thus Bunker is fnmi the French Bon Cu-ur; Bun. pus, not a very euphoni ous name, althoigh it isla.me by some distinguished men of science is from Bon Uejaat; Bellow s a name well known ami n-venil in New York, is fnmi Belle Eati, which is indicated in the family en st " water jaiun-d from a chalice into a ba sin." As one has n-marked : " The la ati- tiful waters I Belle Eau) of Bellows falls will forever appropriately commemorate the name and home of the founder of his familv in our country."

The St. Maun-s latame S-y-mours, and the name has imt degenerat ed with the progress of events. The most extraordinary changes are H.int tinies pnaluo-d by the transformntioii of fon-ign names into the vernacular. Tints Pit-riamt latim.es Stonebridge. and a tier man family of Bulisams, that emigrated to Smth Carolina, have lat-n ctinvertol by translation into Turniiisoil. In tt r tain instances, names are contracted as a matter of convenience, as it is much eas ier to aililn-ss Mr. Taliaferro as Mr. T..1 lieraml Mr. Cholmondley as Mr. Chum ley. It would la- hard work to pmnoumv Ixnl Bnmghmam's name as it is sia-lt, ami h we call him Brian... Snne re markable changes have Ht-n made by iniss-lling. There are ia-rsoiis who have a marvellous capacity in thisilcpartincnt ; Mr. Bowditch, of Btiston, says that in the bills made out against the institution, the word hospital was spelt in forty-six dif ferent wavs. There is no end to the alatiwl combina tion of names of which inple who ought to know la-tter have lat-n guilty. A long list is given in Mr. IV.wditchV unpublish ed work of "Sulfold Surnames," of which he was kind enough to furnish me with a copy many years ago, and I will now give a few selotions, although I would hardly venture to selo t h mie of the worst. In the catalogue of West Point students we find the somewhat ambitious names of Pleiades 4 Irion Lambkin, and a Suit hern gentleman by the name of Mudd saw fit to name his son Henry Clay. Another distinguished statesman has had the hon or of seeing his name in singular rotniany, as John Quincy Adams Bolster. A for mer memlH-r of Harvard College, nainol S(a-ar, ha.l the Christian name of William Shake. In the Boston Puni tory we find the names of Castor Bean and Ivory Botn, laith, doubtless, frt.in the same stalk. A Mr. Crabtn-e of Connecticut, waschris tenol A. 41m-n. Sometimes the name given to a child, or inheritol from its (wrents, seems to laj pn.phetie of its destiny, as in the case of tien. Winfield Scott and Major Whistler, WHOLE NO. 1823. the distinguished engineer. We have, however, on the mil of our Kpiscoiwl clergy only two (-arsons ; but then as an offset, we have nine BishoM on the list of I'n-sbyters. It is a difficult '(iiestion to determine how far the dignity ami impn-ssiveness of a name is dependent ti(aii the law of as Ha iution. Nothing sounds grander to an American ear than the name of Washing ton. I low would it have la-en if the name had never lat-n lairneby the gn-at and giaal man whom we all delight to honor?

The country was clear of law less charac ters, two or thm- savage dogs wen- at hand to take can- of strangers, and Jack could la-il.-a-niltil on w ith his carbine in case of nn-essity. Sherman went away on horseback. It would hike him the la-st part of a day to n-ach Ellsworth, as he had to make a stop en-route. He would la- detained then- a day, and would n-ach home, leav ing us he did on Monday tunning, on Wednesday morning.

She saw him creep away in the darkness, and nalized that he was in aissession of the secn-t. She dn-amed that her husband nle away to Ellsworth just as he had done, and that after he had gone a vicious lia.king half-hntil. withaseuron his left ch.t-k. came to the stable iu the night and had a long talk with Jack.

They went down the mad toward Ells worth alamt two miles, and halted at a f.ml. This was a lonesome sja.t, la-ing in a dip. with wild plum tn-es growing thickly tm each side of the road. Then the dn-am changol and she saw her husband come ri-ling up. She knew that the men were hiding to waylay him. and she tried to motion or slna.t to warn him.

She reacbol them to hear the low voices of men in conversation, and as she put her eye to a crevice she saw that Jack had a oinian ion. They were cleaning and loading their tin-arms by the light of a candle, ami the stranger was markol on the cheek as the woman had tlreamol. It was well she had the heart of a brave man.

Three or f mt shots were fired and then came calls for help. Sherman advami-d to find Jack on tin-gnmnd, badly wound ed, and one of the dogs guarling him.
