why, for the past twenty-five years,

suffering women to seek Mrs. Pink

Ostrich Farming.
Karly In the year, just ns spring
dawns, n pair will begin to build n
nest, or ratlier to scrape one out of
the ground. The mnlo bird rests his
breastbone on the ground and kirks
the sand oelilnd: when one side Is suf
ficiently deep he turns, and n round hole
about three feet In diameter and one
foot deep Is the result of his exertions:
occasionally he Intimates to the female
that help Is required, and they take
turns.
The hen forthwith begins to lay an
egg every day until twelve or fifteen
are located side by side In this hole
in the ground; they scatter n little sand
over the eggs to protect them from the
tierce rays of the California sun; this
habit has doubtless led to the suppo
sition printed !n many ancient natur
al histories that the eggs of the os
trich are hatched by the gun, unaided
tiy the birds. As soon ns the full
number of eggs are laid the couple
share the labor of hatching; the male
bird setting on the etrprs from 4 o'clock
in the afternoon until 0 o'clock the fol
lowing morning; and It may be under
stood with what skill this Is per
formed when it Is understood Hint
pounds of ostrich Is bearing down
upon fourteen eggs; at ! o'clock the
hca takes his place. The male ostrich,
however, with reninrknhlc Intelligence,
relieves the female fur nn hour In the
middle of the day while nlie goes in
search of the necessary nourishment.
A pnlr will follow this regime with
the greatest regularity for about forty
days, when the eggs are hatched.

THE PET LAMB VICTORIA.
An Incident of the Knrly Days of the
Ilrltlah Qaeen.
John Exton, a wealthy merchant of
this city, an Englishman by birth, once
had an Interview with Queen Victoria
'without knowing it. It wns near the
close of the '30b and Queen Victoria
had been on the throne but a short
time. Young Exton and his brother
Adam were playing near a stream that
flowed through their native town one
day, when they saw a matronly look
ing woman approaching, accompanied
by a beautiful young lady. They ap
proached the boys and engaged them
in conversation, both of the ladles
stroking their hair In a kindly way.
John and his brother had with them a
lamb whose fleece was of snowy white
ness, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The elder of the ladies asked John
how much he would sell the lamb for.
Drawing himself up to his full height,
John said that the lamb was named
Victoria and thnt nobody could have
her but the aueen.
"And can the queen have her?" ask
ed the lady. "Yes," said John. The
ladles seemed to be greatly pleased
with his reply and before their depart
ure the younger of the ladies slipped a
coin Into the hands of the boys and
made them feel for the time being
among the rich men of England. A
short time after that Incident a gentlo
man called at the Exton home and
said the queen desired the lamb Vic
toria, and it was given to him, but not
without receiving ample compensation.
An official of the town explained to the
Extons that the ladles wore none other
than Queen Victoria and her mother,
who were going out among her people

Ex-Congressman George Wlllard,
who died at his home in Battle Creek,
Mich., the other day, was born In Bol
ton, Vt, and at the age of 12 went with
his parents to Michigan, where In turn
he became student, teacher, minister,
professor, member of congress and
editor. Ho was rector of St. Luke's
Episcopal church at Kalamazoo for
two years, but resigned from the min
istry because of the conservatism of
the society. For ten years he was re
gent of Michigan university, and it
was largely his influence that opened
the doors of the Institution to women.
He was elected In 1872 to congress,
where be served four years, bis most
notable achievement wstng a vigorous
speech against the "tmrce bill" that
waa not relished by many of his Re
publican colleagues. Mr. Wlllard es
Ubllshed the Battle Creek Journal in
1872, and managed the paper up to the
time, of his death.

The mil Wns si Counterfeit.
In a well-known New York restau
rant the other evening a youth who
had Just eaten a substantial meal, as
sisted by a very pretty girl, was stam
mering and blushing at the cashier's
desk. He had Just discovered the loss
of his pocketbook and money, he said.
His watch was gone likewise. The
cashier, being suspicions of all man
kind, received the tale scornfully, de
manded Instant satisfaction and
threatened to call a policeman. The
youth seemed on the verge of collapse
and the lady was about to faint when
an elderly, well-dressed man bustled
up to the desk. "How dare you ac
cuso this gentleman of being a swin
dler?" he demanded, wrathfully. "I
don't know him myself, but I am sure
he Is honest." Then, handing over a
new $10 bill, the elder Samaritan paid
the check himself and hurried out.
The grateful youth ran after him.
"Oh, thank you," he gaty'L, "lot IUu
have your card and I'll send you the
money in the morning." "Nevor
mind, dear boy," replied the elderly
one, as he boarded a cable car, "don't
take the trouble. It was a counterfeit."

To an impertinent friend who asked
what was the most philanthropic way
of using a large fortune he replied:
"Keep It constantly active, in order
to give employment to the largest

Mr. Sage responded quickly: "The

The Popular Carnation.
A carnation mania baa taken hold of
flower buyers. At a conservative esti
mate it required 500,000 carnations to
supply the demand in New York city
during Easter week. These flowers
sold from 85 to 60 cents a doien for the
inferior kinds to f 5 and 16 a dozen for
choice varieties. At least $76,000 waa
spent by New Yorkers to satisfy their
liking for these flowers.

Recent reports from Dr. Sven Hedln,
who Is again exploring Central Asia,
strengthen the Impression which his
previous explorations have given of
the extraordinary character of thnt
part of the world. Salt lakes, dried
up lake-beds, abandoned habitations
and temples nnd Interesting people,
hitherto almost unknown, are among
his discoveries. He also reports that
the Tarlm river In Eastern Turkestan,
which he has surveyed for a long dis
tance, is the largest river In the In
terior of Asia. Over a part of Its
course tho river Is simply a multitude
of small Interchained lakes.
Light travels from Jupiter's satel
lites nt the same rate as it does from
our gas lamps. A few years ago, says
a London newspaper, a star suddenly
came Into sight, burst Into first order
brightness, and then In Ave or six
weeks died out of sight. Difference
of opinion existed between spectro
seoplsts like Hugging and Iockyer, as
to what It meant, but there was gener
al agreement that what we saw was
something that happened In the time
of Queen Elizabeth, only that the
light had taken 300 years to reach us.
It was the "latest news," In fact, from
that part of the heavens. The rate of
transmission no one questioned.
It Is well known that the sun ap
pears larger when It Is near the hori
zon than at its meridian transit. M.
Relmann has determined the ratio of
the two comparing the apparent
diameter of the sun seen through a
colored glass with the apparent slzo
of a hole In a piece of pasteboard at a
distance from the eye. and finds that
the apparent diameter of the sun
on the meridian at an altitude of 55
degrees Is to its apparent diameter at
setting as 1 to 3.32. The true dia
meter does not vary, and hence thes
numbers have only a physiological
meaning and show that the form of
the celestlnl vault conceived by us Is
that of a flattened ellipsoid. The ap
parent diameter of the sun Is sub
stantially proportional to the length
of tho ray which traverses our atmosphere.

"Out of the queer use of a common
creature regarded as most potent In
old-time medicine there came the most
surprising and nearly the most Im
portant of Inventions. Every scho-il-boy
knows that a toad can cause waits
or make the cow give bloody milk, but
not everybody knows that toads are
also powerfully medicinal. It Is a
fact. Martin Luther says so. Theao
are his very words: 'Experience has
proved the toad to be endowed with
valuable qualities. If you run a stick
through three toads, and, after having
dried them In the sun. apply them to
any pestilent humor, they draw out tho
poison, and the malady will disappear.'
Pope Adriau always carried a bag
about hlB neck containing dried toad,
pearl, coral, gum tragacanth, smaraged
and other articles of Junk. It was n
that kept him up. And lest you flint
that they only did that hundreds ol
years ago, I want to say here that.

Climate and Cntt.iiinptton,
Dr. Lannelongue, In a recent com
munication to the French Academy,
gives the results of a rather novel se
ries of experiments, to determine the
effect of climate on tuberculosis. He
injected a number of guinea pigs with
human tuberculosis. Theso were then
divided Into three lots. One group
was kept In the laboratory In Paris,
another sent to tho seashore and a
third Into the Interior. Tho animals
were fed and cared for In exactly the
same manner at all three stations, and
the action of the virus and progress of
the disease carefully recorded In each
case. The experiment was repeated
soveral times, with some varieties of
the two outside stations, and In every
caso the animals left In the laboratory
gave the best results; that Is, resisted
the disease for the longest period, and
more of them remained alive at the
end of the test. This result may be
considered to Indicate either that the
climate of Paris Is a good one for con
sumption patients, or what seems
more probable, that the exposure and
excitement Incident to travel and new
surroundings has an unfavorable ef
fect on the disease.
