mamma, in her most impressive way,

"If yin do, it will be the And of all do l

In ostrich farming the birds are divided
into two claws. The first is kept for
breeding purposes and the second for
feather bearing. The ostrich is a baby for
from four, to five years, ,after which the
aisle and female birds which are to, be . kept
for feather producing purposes most be sep
arated.- An ostrich lon will lay an egg the
size of a turnip every other day during the
season,. the total average number being about
sixty. They are laid in a nest made of sand,
which, on the farm, is , placed under cover.
For Mattel few mouths the chickens are
eery tender. They must lie carefully guard
el whist the wet. When-they are three
months old they become hardy and' do not
Linger need much care. When about eight
Swaths old their feathers can be • picked for
the first time, and thereafter at 'regular in.
tervahi of from seven to nine montlut „The
find pick is not valuable. ;.The second,thow.
ever, sells for $lBO for each bird at Cape
Colony. A grown, bird yields &boat a hun
dred feathers at a picking. The operation,
of pulling the feathers would seem to be
tither difficult. To pull out a feather it
susCbe caught as near the, skit as possible,
silty •pressing it gently, as it to stick it
furtherinto the Beak it is twisted half way,
round. Thin double movement removes the
feather,from its socket easily and without
amain* the ostrich.' A certain degree of
dexter* is required for this operation,
which can be rapidly performed' nth little
nadce.., ' The ostrich produces two kinds
teeth Ca—those of the wings and the tail
mclithoseof the breast and the back.. The
former aro what the fair sex call "lovely "
as well aa expensive. The male bird pro
duces ihite and black plumage and the fe
malignly feathers. It may be Interesting
to lady readers to know which are - eonsider-
N 1 the most valuable. According to the
'acidity of their production the different
etialities can be dulled as follows : Syria,
which are very rare ; Tripoli and 'Algeria • ;
Morocco, Eygpt and the Upper Nue; which
do not . : bleach perfectly ; Cape and Natal,
which are, differ than the - - - , Preceding
Eta i4t:; Arabia, slender and thin, and Senegal.
e Syrian feather is the only one which
in San Francisco, and this ;is the bird
o which will be. raised at Fresno. Another'
i fooint on which the feather wearers are pre.
mmably curious is in how short a time the
pests° farm may be - depended upon to sup
' bribe home market, and depress market
Values to an extent which shall be satisfac
tOry to grtunhling husbands and fathers.
The answer will be found in the following
aliculation : . There will go to the farm ten
*ale end Itwelve female ostriches. These
rill" form 'jhe nuclei of ten ostrich families.
Seat family* will raise sixty chickens an.
=ally, which, after being nine months oil
age, will become 'feather-bearing: If all
goes well the first valuible crop of feathers
will be gathered in abotit two years. Each
bird yielding 'lOO feathers, the' 600 chickens
will give 60,000 feathers. To these...will in
lie following year be' added 600 chickens,
:leering 60,000 featheisitgaln, and so on for
etch succeeding year,'we that at the end of
lie fifth year there will'be 2,400 chickens„
bearing' 240,006 • feathers. Then the first
batch of Chickens. will be of age, and a year
later, 300 pairs . oftostriches will have raised
18,000 chickens, yielding 1,800,000 feathers.
in equal number will be added during the
eext year, and so on ad infinitum. Ten

A DOOR itiIMDENCE.
The Louisville Couiiir-Journal: relates
sow an old German introduced a
.door 'in
court with a customer's account on'it. The
snit was one brought by an old German who
keeps a grocery and bar-room against a
rather :tough - citizen 'who owed him a bar
bill. When the old man was placed on the
stand ho stated his case in broken \English,
but in a very straightforward, truthful man
ner, and said that the-defendant had bed a
customer at his bar and, received credit, but
-refused to pay his bill when the time arrived.
Ile was then asked by the Court if he bad
kept a regular account , of the amount; and
was-requested *how his bill. This seem
ed to puzzle the old man some, and, after
scratching his bead in silent deliberation;
for a few, minutes he said that he. had . kept
an account, but had left it at his store, and
asked permission to go off and bring it s
The permission was granted,and he start 4
away on a trot, and in a shoit while came
back, puffing and blowing,_ but , wearing a
satisfied look on his face, and carrylig a
ktrgeiiine door on his shoulder. AU 'in the
room
. were considerably astonished at this,
but he quietly seated himself and, taking
the door arose his knees, he pointed to a
number of charcoal marks on it, which be
stated was his bill. When asked to explain,
he said that whenever the defendant got a
drink he marked it down on the door. If
the drink was beer he made a short mark
and if whiskey a long one. Hither', count
ed up the marks and they agreed with the
bM he had presented. Thin evidence was a
clincher and the old German won his ease
tmid the smiles of the spectators.
VAUNT I fili VONGICALED WEAPONS,
- It mutt be admified that with the growth
of this country and with its advancenient in
civilization crime should have decreased. It
cannot truthfully be said that this is the
ca[se. Without seeking other causes, it can
be ``asserted, without fear of contradiction,
that,enuseason forthis is the criminal habit
of carrying concealed weapons. We use the
word "criminal" adsito Ey, for whatever is
contrary to law is criminal. We dcr not
consider it, the mark of a brave man to carry
concealed weapons, but rather the' contrary.
Of curse there are circumstances 'in which
carrying them is justitisble, but for a man
to put on his pistol in the morning as regu.
iatly as he puts on his coat does no credit
ta.lum as a citizen nor as is man. Especial.
ly is this.% dangerous habit the young.
Many ofitem think that it is manly: Pom
fools. True manhood consists of courage of
soul, in daring to do right, in abhorring
bullying, braggadocio, and rowdyiim, Let
a thin.ekinned youth of violent temper and
great ides of his own importance and honor
—heaven save the mark—stick a pistol ha.

"No, not aimany as there were six or
