Okla., the late householders, viewing the remains, were greatly sur prised at finding upon the supposed 6ite of the grocery a large and solid mass of excellent ice cream in bulk, melting rapidly away under the suu, but still good at heart. The explana tion, after nil, was simple. The light ning stroke which destroyed the roof of the building, and shattered every barrel aud bottle in the place, fused and melt ed a dozen milk cans, releasing theli precious contents. Directly over the cans, on the shelves, were a number oi paper bags of sugar, a sack of flour and seven bottles of vanilla extract, whose released contents fell iuto the mass Before tlie milk had time to flow away it was buried tip in such hailstones as even Oklahoma never saw before, o fall of two feet occurring in almost nu instant. The ice balls mingled with the contents of a dozen barrels of salt, which had been standing about the milk cans, produced such an Intense cold that tho mingled milk, vanilla, su gar and flour were instantly solidified on the surface, and in half an hour be came a solid mas 3 to the coro of excel lent ico cream.—Now York Recorder. Fathers Must Be Careful There. I Among the Indians of British Guiana usage bids the father go to bed when a child is born and allows the mother to return at once to her household duties. James Rodway's recently published Ibook on that country explains the cus tom by a supersition which attaches the spirit of the child to the body of the father. The author says: "The father must not hunt, shoot or fell trees for some time, because there Is an invisible connection between him eclf and the babe, whose spirit accom panies him in all his wanderings, and might be shot, chopped or otherwise Injured unwittingly. lie therefore re tires to his hammock, sometimes hold ing the little one, and receives the con gratulations of his friends, ns well as |tlie advice of tho elder members of the .community.

"J V HERE are two ostrich farms I F in California. OneisatNor- I walk, and the other at Coro- QT nado Beach, the resort just across tho bay from San Diego. The latter has sixty-five birds. Whether spreading their wings and tilting along in their peculiar Delsartean gait, or greedily snatching at what ever morsels come in their way, they are droll and interesting. Everybody has heard the expression "a stomach like an ostrich's," but no body can quite realize tho signiticauce of the comparison until ho attends a luncheon given to the creatures and watches tlieiu despatch their food. They eat all sorts of \egetables, but above all things they like oranges. The avidity with which they seize and gulp down whole oranges is at once startling and amusing. When their keeper appears with a fine orange iu his hand there is a scramble and flut tering of great fluffy wings. The for tunate fellow who gets the fruit bolts it at once and stands blinking his sat isfaction while the orange slowly travels by easy stages down his long throat. Cabbage leaves, beet tops, natural grasses, alfalfa, bits of brikeu shell and gravel are all esteemed great luxuries by these ungainly birds. A threc-months-old chick stands fully four feet high. The female does not mature until four years old, nor the male until five. The color of the young birds is brown in general effeot, and the hen retains that hue. As the cock nears maturity he turns a deep, glossy black and gets a row of puro white plumes among those of jet. Down the front of each leg is a strip of vivid red, and a ring of the eause color surrounds the big, vicious eyes, giving the creature a peculiarly rakish and dissipated appearance. The cock is at times very ugly to manage, and the hens, too, must be carefully handled. They particularly dislike strangers, and visitors nro always cnutioued to keep a long way from the paddock. As fast as the birds mnto the pairs are confined in the paddock. Just after the rainy season sets in the hens begin to lay. The nest is a most primitive arrangement—merely an ex cavation, about threo feet across, scratched in the sandy soil. Every other day an egg is deposited in this nest until the hen is satisfied with the number. Then the cook turns to and does the principal part of tho sitting. Every afternoon at 4 o'clock he re lieves the hen and does not quit tho nest until 8 o'clock tho next morning, thereby giving tho female only the short daylight wateh. The usual cus tom, however, is to remove the eggs to an incubator as fast as they are laid. In this case the hen will often lav thirty eggs before resting. Then, after an interval of six weeks, she re sumes hor work. The ostrich farmer can count upon three periods of pro ductiveness in a year, and an aggre gate of seventy-live to ninety eggs from eaoh hen. In California the eggs hatch in forty days—two days sooner than in Africa. The nnmated birds aro allowed to herd, aud are known as tho "feather troop." The plucking comes once in ten months, nud is a difficult undertaking. The first pluokiug takes plaoo wheQ the chick is six months old. The feathers are of inferior quality, and are used to make dusters. These first feathers aro called spadones. When the chiok is one year old its feathers can bo used for trimmings. At two years a good plume can be obtained, and after that the bird is a regular producer of lino illumes. As a rule each wing furnishes 104 plumes, while about 125 are obtaiued from the tail, making more than 300 feathers to each bird. The tail feathers are termed "boos" in ostrich slang. The members of the regular feather troop are docile enough when undis turbed, but if provoked in tho least grow very ugly. It is necessary to blindfold the birds before the pluok iug. They are brought into the pad dock, and while engaged in feeding on the corn or cabbage leaves which have been thrown to them, two men who have had experience in the work approach, seize* a bird by tho neck, and quickly thrust a long hood over its head,. Tee ostrich is then forced into an enclosuro about three feet square and a gate is closed behind it. It is necessary still to hold the bird, though while thus hooded it rarely shows fight. The plumes are snipped off, and the stub of each quill is allowed to remain until the juiees have been diverted into other grow ing feathers. The stub then becomes transparent to the eye and is pulled out. After the ostrich has been plucked its thigh is marked with red paint; also after tho stub lias been pulled out. Thus it requires but a glauee from the ostrich farmer to learn tho condition of any bird in his flock. When a breeding cock is to be plucked real tronble begins. Tbis bird i 3 always defiant and ugly, and, if one simply approaches thepaddook, will glare aud hiss viciously. He is a fighter, too, using his queer stubby hoofs as weapons, and having the pugi list's thick of kicking forward. Feed ing the cock avails little. He is usu ally taunted and mocked until ho is furious, when muscular fellows seize him around tho neck, and, bending the head to tho ground, hood him. He is then powerless to do harm, but he tires out his captors by the time the plucking is done. An average feather bird yields one and one-fourth poundsof leathers at a plucking, those of the cock being of a heavier ana more valuable quality than those oj tho hen. Body feathers aro not taken, hut are picked up during the moult ing season and used for trimmings, boas, and collars. The average weight of a full grown male ostrich is 175 pounds. While to tho uninitiated the difference in birds ic slight, it is as apparent to the breeclei as is the difference in sheep or cattle. An ostrich expert will choose a com pact, largo boned bird, aud tho Cali fornia bred ostriches aro fiuo speci mens of this style. Tho life of an ostrich is usually thirty years. The birds are sold at various prices. A chick commonly briugs about S3P, a three-year-old bird, S3OO ; a lino breeding pair, $1001). The prime white feathers sell for $75 a pound at wholesale, and as much as $7.50 is ofteu received for a single plume of unusual excellence. Tho next in value are the long black plumes, then the Jong drab ones from tho hen. Tne average value of the plucking from a single bird is $35, and, as it is plucked throe times in two years, tho value of the annual product in plumes for each bird is about SSO. —New York Sun. The Food oi Birds, Recent investigations conducted by ornithologists and entomologists in widely separated localities show that farmers are often iu error in regard to the usefulness as well as destructive habits of many of the common kinds of birds. Among the latest reports on this subject is one from Dr. C. Hart Mercian), chief of the division of ornithology of the Department of Agriculture, giving the results of his examination of tho contents of tho stomach of hawks, owls, crows, black birds. aud other birds that are sup posed, and in fact generally believed, to be the enemies of tho farmer. Several States give oi have given bounties for killing sorao of these birds, but Dr. Merriam says that seventy-five per cent, of their food was found to bo field mice, grasshop pers, crickets, etc., which were infini tely more injurious to crops tbad the birds. Tho chargo usually mado against crows is that they pull up the sprouting corn in spring and attack it when tho grain is in tho milk later in tho summer, and destroy eggs, all of which is undoubtedly true to a limited extent and when they are driven to it by scarcity of other kinds of food, but examination of their stomachs shows that they eat noxious aud destructive insects, and that although tweuty-fivo per cent, of their food is corn, it is mostly waste corn picked up in tho fall and winter. In regard to eggs, it was found that the shells wore eaten to a very limited extent for their lime. Tho crow appears to bo a general scav enger, not only devouring insects of all orders, but various animal sub stances of both land and water.—New York Sun. Corns, ami llow to Treat Them, The lamented corn, or callosity pro duced by pressure, congestion and in creased formation of epidermis, may be softened by moisture, as by soak ing in warm water, by tho application of a starch or soap poultice ; and, be ing softened, the thick cuticle may bo thinned by scraping with a blunt knife, or the albuminous epidermis may bo dissolved by an alkaline solu tion, with moderate friction. When the thickening has boon re duced sufficiently, it may be kept down by daily washing with soap. The soft corn requires removal with the knife; if it ho of moderate sizo a single pincli with a pair of pointed scissors will effect its removal, while tho hard callosity will require patient digging with the point of a nob too sharp knife. Tiio eye of the corn may be always made visible by rubbing tho part with eau do cologno or spirits of wine, and nuy remains of tho corn may bo detected iu this way, either during or after the operation. The removal of a corn may bo very considerably aided by tho use of tho compound tincture of iodine painted on the swelling. Soap au-l water, HO useful to the skin in many ways, aro expressly serviceable to feet atliioted with corns, and particularly when they are soft corns. Daily washing with soap, and tho subsequent inter position of a pieco of cotton-wool be tween the toes, may be considered as a cure for a soft corn. In these cases the skin may be hardened by spong ing with spirits of camphor after tho washing. Tin cotton-wool should bo removed at night, and this is a good time for the camphorated spirits.— New York Ledger. Utilizing an Old-Style Bicycle. "I had ofton wondered what became of the old-atylo bicycles," remarked a wheelman. "I discovered tho other day what had become of them. Dur ing a ride down in Jersey I came across a sawmill in tho woods. To my as tonishment and amusement I found that the motive power for tho mill was supplied by a youug man and ouo of the big wheeled bicycles that were in vogue beforo tho safeties appeared. The bicycle was suspended from the ceiling and connected with the mill machinery by a belt. Tho young man sat on the neat of tfie wheel and worked tho pedals with his feet, and in this way kept the saw in motion for hours at a time."—Philadelphia Call, Care of the Month in Health. For tho care of the mouth in health nothing is better thau pure water with a few drops of listerine, one of tho best known antiseptics, added. Tho tooth brush should frequently bo washed in ammonia and water and dried in tho suu. ifiie guvns have a tendency t) bleed, or the teeth aro bad, a pinch of powdered boric acid may be rubbed between the lips j and gums twice daily.—New York Post. A Kansas bride lias been married in bloomers. Nebraska lias fourteen women su perintendents of public instruction. The women in England, mounted on bicycles, were iu the thick of tho cur rent election fray. Paris dressmakers have just decreed that fashionablo lady bicyclists must wear puffed sleeves to blouses. Ouo hundred young ladies gradu ated from Vassar College this year, the largest class in its history. Amelia Sternbecker, seventeen years old, of San Francisco, Cal., has in vented a fender for trolley cars. Mrs. William lb Morrison, wifo of tho Interstate Commerce Commis sioner, is a very able politician. Mrs. John Jacob Astor is an ac complished angler, and enjoys noth ing so much as a battle with a tish. Miss Virginia Fair, daughter of the late "Bonauza King," is admitted the swiftest rider of all tho women who ride tho wheel at Newport. Red hnir at present is quite the fashion, and women who havo started in life with ordinary brown locks now strugglo to have a Titian shade. Tho bridal veil of the Countess de Castellano cost three times as much as tho oue purchased by the Princess Helene for her wedding to the Duke li'Aosta. Miss Florence Blackraore, of Frank lin, Mass., aged fifteen, has just per formed tho feat, unprecedented for one of her age and sex, of ascending tho crater of Popocatepetl, Mexico. Very short sleeves and very long gloves nro tho rage among smart wo men in Paris. White glace kid is tho favorite dress glove for day wear, and purasols and gloves match in color. Tho Princess of Wales is fond of testing novelties and is wholly fear less. She recently mado tho first trip in tlio great aerial wheel at the "In dia at Earl's Court" show in London. Olivo Schreiner, the novelist, now Mrs. Crou Wright, is thirty-three, and a tiny creature, it is said, with lovely dark eyes and a very bright face. She is lour years older than her husband. Tho students of Newnhaw. and Gir ton Colleges, England, propose to form a woman's missionary settlement in ludia, where ladies from tho uni versities may reside and join iu med ical, cvangelistio and educational work. The New York World is authority for tho story that during her youth Miss Frances E. Willard was courted by a young miuister whom she re fused to marry beoauso he would not abandou tobacco for her sake. Ho is now a bishop. The Archduchess Maria Thorcsa, al though fragile iu appearance, is said to bo a remarkably strong and vigor ous woman. Ono of her feats was to rido from Koichuau to Guns and back, a distance of about 125 miles, without stopping, except to change horses. Mme. Patti says that she hopes to sing with licr laat breath, and thinks that tho reason 60 few voices last among present (lay singers is that 60 much of their tuition is forced. When she was young, she says, "Singers were not turned out in half dozens, like oysters on the half shell." Manufacturers assure the wholesale dealers that mohairs nro the coming fabric. They predict for next spring tho same furore over mohairs that there was last spring over cropons, which arc now passe. Some heavy mohairs will be shown in tho fall goods, all with very high luster. Mrs. Lincoln, an authority on cook cry, declares that Americans can learn much from German housewives in the way of seasoning. For instance, iu preparing vegetables they almost ulways add a little grating of nut meg. This is not noticeable and distinct, but it imparts an unuaualand most pleasing flavor. Miss Florence Nightingale, at tho ago of soventy-four, is enjoying excellent health. She is a rich woman, having, besides some private means, tho $250,- 000 publicly subscribed for her by tho English people at tho close of tho Crimeau war. This sum sho proposes to settle as a trust, tho interest to be devoted to nursing wounded soldiers in case of war. Mme. Dieulfy, who has attained high rank as au authority on Persian archaeology and antiquities, appears in the salons of Taris in man's attire. When sho was a bride, in 1870, she went with her husband oil a military expedition to the far East, and to avoid attention appeared as a lad of sixteen, sinco when sho has never changed her dress. A London florist, a young woman, who has hit tho fashionable fancy of Mayfair in tho arrangement for lier wares, with consequent finuncinl suc cess, uses black velvet ribbon as a rule to tie hor bouquets. Tho Rowers which composo them nro always loosely arrauged, and tho black velvet snood she finds equally effective with delicately tinted or bright-hued flow ers. Mrs. Bret Harto was a Miss Gris wold, belonging to ouo of tho oldest families iu New York City. Her mothor was a daughter of David Dun ham, the famous East ludia merchant, who is buried besido his wife iu Trin ity churchyard, and sho is related by marriage to a number of old families in New York, Boston and Baltimore. She first met Mr. Harto when she was on a visit to her married sister in California. He was then clerk in the United States Mint at San Francisco. OUR BUDGET OF FUN.
