I is a*t?npt has lately been made to ii >f port the birds into the United Stat for breeding purposes, but it has n yet seriously interfered with the i dnstry in South Africa, where the o trich is at home. 5. j Let me givo you some sort of i , j idea of the country m which tl ostrich lives. It is a country unlil Iany other on the globe. The genen character is flat and sandy, relieve only by long, low, rocky sierra These mountain ranges are the salv? tion of the landscape. Their cragg outlines aro carved into a thonsan 31 abrupt and striking foxms, their beac are constantly haunted by low lyin clouds of vapor, which the contenc mg tun and wind draw together an disperse. Their eides are holloWei into ravines, or "kloofs," and paint* by the clear distance into a perfec argosy of chauging hues. The np parently parched and sandv flats ar covered by different varieties o dwarf bush, which aro nibbled at fr the sheep. A dry and arid^prospect, and it i hard to conceive every innh of it ii loaded below with vegetable life readj to she. after the rains of Bpring inte a wealth of verdant grasses. Here anc lhere dotted about on these flats can be seen the white farm-buildings nest ling among the trees- an oasis in the desert, in faot. These green spots can bo seen for miles away, with the white washed buildings glittering in the SUD. Foliage is only to be seen around the homesteads and occasionally *t an iso lated fountain. The veldt all round is cheerless and naked, without so much os a rag of vegetntion to cover it, and tho eye hungers for a tree ; the bones or stones stick painfully ont, a sight for the geologist, not the artist. Yon arrive at the homestead, a square, red-brick building, with a sigh of relief, and glad, to be out of the blinding glare and sandy plain. On every homestead the same familiar sights meet the eye. On the one side of the house stand the kraals; on the other, the shed and wagon-house. In 1 front stands the dam, adjoining the I vegetable garden and lands, with far ther away the camp. Behind the house are the chaff-house, tramp-floor, and butcher's thop, where the natives aro rationed. In tho camp run the large Btock, cattle, ostriches, and horses; and on the flats and moun tains the sheep and goats. ? well fenced and secure inclosureis a m^#iB^^nrrnii.i.lTf nui? it.j them in repair, and to place them in stock'of the moro expensive kinds. Every ostrich farmer has his camp, which varies in size considerably, from 3000 to-8000 acres, and in it be keeps his 300 or 500 bird?, as well as a few cattle and horses. A* camp is OSTRICH ON NEST. always selected as being the best piece of grazing ground on tho farm, and capable of holding more stock io pro portion than any other part of the iarm. Here the bird remain year in and year out, and are on'y collected and brought together, on the average, once every four months. These occasions are, let ns say, in June, to pluck prime feathers. By these we mean the long whites, num bering from eighteen to twenty in each wing, eight or nine fancy feathers, and a few long blacks, all taken at the same time. Four months later the stumps of these feathers are drawn out, and two months later again-that is, six months after tho primes-the short blacks and tail feathers are taken. Of these it is impossible tc give any accurate number. Aa a mle, you pluck as many as possible with out inflicting pain on the bird, and al the same time leaving enough to keej ont the cold. AN 03TKECH F AI An ostrich, like most other animait in its wild state is terribly afraid c man or of any unfamiliar sight, an uees at the appearance of anythin new to its ken. When domesticate it becomes docile, and after a tim assumes a position of authority an becomes master of the situatioi From June np to September, or, i fact, till Christmas, thousands < chicks are reared every year, ai thousands meet with death every yei from some form of accident.

The nest of tho ostrioh is a ve crnde affair, consisting simply of rouud hollow carved ont in the 6an ground. Sometimes the lemale bi may be eoeu scratching in the grou preparatory to laying her first eg but this is not often the case, the h low generally being made by the cc tinuous sitting of the birds on the o spot.

Undoubtedly the be?t weapon-bar ring a wire fence-is a good stout stick or blunt pitchfork. As a rule, if a bird means to have your life or die in the attempt, be charges irom about thirty yards, when you receive him at the bayonet's point. He rushes at you with flashing eye, looking the very embodiment of fury. Drawing himself up to a height, of ten leet or more, with wings outstretched and hissing like, a cobra, ho makes four or five strikes. You retreat a pace or two, so as to avoid tho fork piercing through bis neck, and hold him off at arm's length till ho learns that his efforts are useless. Drawing the fork sharply away, you strike him a blow on the neck, rendering him insensible and taking away his breath. -This quiets him for a while, tiil he recovers from his bewilderment and makes a fresh charge, when tho fork is again presented. I have seen a bird so savage as to charge seven times in fifteen minutes, twice receiving tho prongs of the fork through his neck. On horseback one is even more obnoxious to an ostrich than on foot, but, so long as the horse is not afraid and will stand np to the bird, there is no fear of an accident. As he oharges take care to have vour horse well in hand, and as the bird makes his first strike, catch him by the neck and hold on for all you're worth, till the bird becomes exhausted from want of breath and falls.

A dainty model sufficiently dressy to be worn as an evening bodice when developed in suitable fabrica, is repre sented in the second big illustration.

It is mounted upon a glove fitted lining having the usual number of scams aud double burst darts and closing in centre-front. Under-arm gores are inserted between the full fronts and back, which are shaped in ronuded outline and gathered at the top with the iulluess at the waist col lected in gather.-) that are drawn well to the centre front and back. The upper portion of the bodice consists of a shallow yoke of the contrasting material and the closing is effected at the left'side at shoulder, arm's eye and under-arm seams. At the neck is a close-standing band concealed by a Btock of ribbon stylishly bowod at the centre-back.

BIST TEMPEBATTJBE TOR HOUSE PLANTS, It is a ourious fact that plants in growing seem to require a steady in crease in heat. May is warmer than April, June is warmer than May and July is usually warmer still. In August it seems to be still warmer, and jot we notice that all our native plants really grow less in August than in July. This is accounted for by. the fact that the nights (the cool time) are growing longer. Hardy plants begin in August to ripen their wood 'and perfect their leaf and fruit buds for the next year. Growth is really less, and keeps growing less through August and September because the average temperature is growing less. These points are worth remembering now when we are preparing to plant seeds in the house for window plants. Be gin to plant as soon as the season turns (Christmas week) and then slowly raise the temperature as the plants grow, through January, Febru ary and March, so that the plants will find m the house the same gradual in crease in heat that they would find out if doors in spring and early summer. -NewEngland Homestead.
