From an article on "Farming for A Feathers" in the Jauuary Ccntury we chi) the following: When a farmor gees into asavage bird's camp he takes with him a thorn pole, with a branch or two of the thorny bush ? left on the end. This is called a "tuck," ? and when the tuck is applied to the os trich's head or neck (his tender points) he is almost invariably subdued, and, after one or two eftorts to escape, bolts furiously off to the other side of the ? cm1p, where he races tip and down to vent his balled rage. If, however, the hird gets near enough to hins opponent to give the so-called kick, he lifts his bony c leg as high as his body and throws it for- c ward with demnoniao grotesqueness, and brlIings it down with terrible force. IIis object is to rip the enemy down with his dangerouls claw, but in most cases it is . the flat bottom of his foot which strikes, antd the kick is dangerous as much from ( its siter" p:1wer ts from its lacerating ef fteN( s.

JA Interestlut Address by the 11.n. Job Eaton. The Hon. John Eaton, United State Jommissionor of Emigration, in a lectur, n "Illiteracy, as Shown by the Censu f 1880," said that according to the kas ensus there were in the United Statt ver 3,200,000 colored persons, ove ,200,000 native whites, and over 700 00 foreign horn whit4s over ten yeai d who couc not write. Although this was relatively an al an1ce of three per cent. over 1870 in tli umber who eculd write it was an il reaso of 581,000 in the number wh onld not write. Tho lecturer's first proposition wt bat greater activity wa s needed on t.h, art of all the agencies that promot ducation. Greater activity was neede i the family, for there was a lnrge ir rease in the number of neglect-d chi: ren. In the church there should h iore neIivity. The Salbathl-schools ha ly about 6,250,000 childron. If the eld only the youth of the land the bo(uld have from 15,000,000 to 20,000 00. The churches would require 21,000 00 additional sittings to accommodat le )olnlation, and to give one religiou lpert' to laela family would take a eirell ition of 10,000,000 copies. It was al) md to a;sk the churelh to cope with th, literacy of the country. There wer ver 5.,700,000 children who ditd not al 'ud tle 1ublie schools. Allowing 70) t lls at tendaltts at private schools ther 'Ir 5,000,000 out of school. To pre de sittings for thest, would re<lnir 100,000,000. Thirty thousand add 1nal teacers would he needed, eostin; 10,000,000, so that for the first vet 110,000,000 would have to be spen he average asenteces from school i nr cities a1s iieaurly t%w41-fifths of th -hool pol a)1Illtion, but the ahsente< ere mainly concentrated in the Souti rn States.
