This ostrich farm was planted hero MI? last Thanksgh in-.- I>ay. lt is u branch <d thc on?' ut Galveston, A few years ugo these enterprising non gathered am! bought lifty-two young bira- in ?frica. They chartered a ves-cl and landed thirty niue of them safely tu Galveston. The others died. Last Mr. Pearson, who i- a Mis i-?? ? ian. brought over lu re a number nt adult hird- arni also a pair ?d' those that came from Africa. Ile has here now about thirty which are grown ?nd married and ha- a number of chicks from two days to four month- old. Thor? is a large inclosuro. where the mah - and females of marriageable ages are turned te ?ind kepi until the nialc make- his choice. The female acquiesces without any coquetry. This pair are then transferred to a .-maller iucIo?ure. where thc male ?it once begins the process of subjugation, li. treats her mo-t shamefully .drik--- her. bites her pursues her ?md give- the poor thing no rest. I saw him at it, and wanted t<? take a big stick and maul him. Complete sub jugation is 1 *? -? animus and after he gets that and she humbles herself to the ground and pleads for mercy his whole manner is changed. Ile takes her to wife ami treat- her with the greatest consideration ami kindness tie- rest ol' their manie.! life. Very many nf these birds have mated, ami every pair has a separate inclosuro, say about 50:. Hal feet, where they raise their young. The hen lay* front twelve to twenty eggs - lays them <ui the '.'round itt a saucer like place, where thc -and has been scooped out. The eggs are in full view and have no protection. When the litter is all laid the male hird he gins the. incubation and sets upon then every ?lay front I p. m. until !. o'clock next morning. The female ' then promptly takes her place and sets from !' a. m. until I p. m., but always takes a few minutes off about noon to partake of her dinner, which the keeper provides, and consists of chopped cabbage and clover hay and small stones and oyster shells. 1 for got to mention that thc hen lays au egg every other day and the time of incubation is forty days. My son. who was with me, remarked to the old Fnglishmun that our common hens laid an egg every day and ?rn Sunday they laid two. "ls that so," sahl he. 'T was not aware of that, lt is in deed very wonderful, and how does ?he hen know when Sunday comes?" "<lh." saul IU3* son, "they hear the church bells ring." '.Wonderful, wonderful. ' said the old man with thc simplest crcdulty. So devoted is the male hird to his ti rst love, his financ?e, that he cannot hy force or persuasion bc induced to take another. Wc saw a puer, miser able, lacerated ben in hospital quar ters. She had all the skin torn from lier breast and Mr. Pearson said thc keeper made a mistake when he trans ferred a pair and placed the wrong female in the iuclosurc ami thc male tried to kill her immediately and liked to have succeeded. She was not his bride aud he knew il. As soon as the chicks break the eggs and come forth they cat nothing for two ur three days. Thc mother takes them up gently with her bill and warms them under ber wing- or hov ers over them in the saud. I suppose ..hat is where thc expression caine from-"under the shadow of thy wings." I saw but one new born chick, lt was only two days old. There were quite a number of hnlf grown i-irds and they are Ungraceful, unseemly and almost hideous. In deed, thc adult birds arc not much better after their plumes have been pulled out. I.very nine months they have to submit to this degradation, for thc i>lumes hiing in thc revenue. Kach male bird gives hut twelve black plumes at a picking and these are worth from *ltos7 each. They are exquisitely beautiful and if 1 had been rich I would have purchased a pair for my bride. The females ure a light color of brown and white and furnish from sixty to one hundred plumes in a season, but they do not bring half so much. Mr. Pearson says that ostriches well kept live to bc seventy-five years old and it does not cost much to keep them-not hall as much as it does to keep a horse or a cow. Old i ! rover Cleveland is the largest and finest bird on thc farm. Ile stands, when erect, about eleven feet in his stockings and his mate, Fran ces, is thc finest fe in nie bird. They have raised one brood and have begun on another. Thc Prince of Wales and his wife. Lilly Langtry, are the next best. Then comes Mark Hanna and wife and McKinley and no wife, for, alas, he killed her in a lit of passion and has not yet chosen another. Then there are Teddy Roosevelt and his wife, Cuba, and their little new born child, Florida. Next are Ad miral Schley and wife and next Mr. Pearson pointe! out General Wheeler and wife. "Why," said I, ''General Wheeler hasn't any wife." S LETTER. Ki i ri n ; 11 -J ; . <-k s< ; ,. ? vi Ile, .i< IM.

Tin- i> enough to give the young I people an idea about ostriches and it j would have pleased them to see one of I these nobb; birds hitched to the beau tiful little buggy and driven around by Mr. I'carson. Altogether, it was a revelation to me, and I enjoyed my visit. It seems to me to be a very simple business and one that does not require any more genius than raising mules or cows or sheep. Jacksonville is a beautiful town. It has growi into beauty within the last few years. Its beautiful wide streets paved with virtilicd brick, its handsome public buildings and private residences, its general air of comfort and hospitality, and its polite and well-mannered peo ple, and its evergreens that have do lied the hard winter, all make it a lovely place for the sick or the well. The soldiers have gone, but the tour ists are yet here. 1 left home in a blizzard and hurried down here, but the chilly blast beat me ami has just passed over and gone. Hti.i. Atti-. A Deserted ( Hy of Marble. In tin; County of North Hastings, Ont., is a deserted town called Bridgewater, which is built entirely of marble. About twenty dive years ago a farmer's wife were searching in the woods for a pig that had strayed away. In a particularly dense part of the forest she found a cold spring of , crystal water and stooped to drink from it. As she did so she slipped on a round stone and fell into the water. Attracted by the peculiar odor of the stone she fished it out and took it home. Investigation showed it to be a twenty-pound nugct of almost pure gold. Within six months the wilderness had blossomed into the thriving town of Bridgewater, with five thousand inhabitants. There were old Forty niners from the Pacific slope, ama teurs from firent Britain and thc Uni ted States, prospectors from every field. Shafts and tunnels were driven by the hundreds. In the sinking of a shaft a mile south of the town, on a claim of B. Flint, of Belleville, who is now a member of the Canadian Senate, a vein of white marble was dis covered. At the suggestion of Flint, vvho wanted little or nothing for thc material, the town of Bridgewater wa> built of solid marble. It has even tt this day a court bouse, school, church hotel, stores and private dwellings constructed wholly of this material. While the town was booming tin entire country was prospected. Souu of the shafts and tunnels were driver more than a hundred feet in depth but, remarkable as it mav seem, then was never enough gold found to paj the cost of a single mine in the dis triet. The place where the original nuggc was found was christened "Aladdin": Cave,'" and the land in its vicinity sohl at fabulous prices. One farme whose farm adjoined the cave sold liv? acres to an Knglish syndicate fo Sion,(UKI cash. The syndicate spen another $1110,00(1 in developing th claim, but never obtained an ounce o free gold? An aced Irishman a j Bridgewater.

WASHINGTON, Marchll Thc guests of tho National Geographic Society after its annual reception to-night wore entertained hy Charles IO. Tripler, of Now York, thc inventer of I.quid air. Mr. Tripler had brought from his laboratory in au ordinary vessel not unlike a milk can ten gallons of liquid air at a temperature of 'AVI de LTCCS below zero. This was brought into thc banquet room at the Arling ton hotel, where the audience wa.- as sembled, and many of the experiments which have lately startled thc scien tific world were repeated. Mr. Tripler was introduced by Alex ander Graham Hell, inventor of thc telephone. A large number of dis tinguished scientists had gathered to witness his experiments, and in the audience were the German and Russian ambassadors, thc Chinese minister and a large number of the most distin guished people in Washington. Mr. 1'ripler first exhibited thc 1 i' I ii id air by passing around thc audi ence tin dippers tilled with it. These gave oil a vapor like steam and rapidly accumulative frost on the outside. After the audience had finished thc inspection Mr. Tripler struck thc dip pers against the table and they hoke to pieces like glass. He then im inerccd a common rubber ball in the liquid and afterward threw it on the floor., where it broke into pieces. Ul UN! NU CARMON. Ile partially immersed in a common tumbler filled with liquid air a stick of carbon, like those used on the arc light, and the part of the carbon above thc surface burned rapidly with a white light as intense as that of an arc lamp. Ile explained that a tem perature of 1,000 degrees above zero waB required to burn carbon, yet this air at ."112 degrees below zero burned it rapidly. He immersed in the same gla-s the end of a coiled '.yatch spring, arid it burned rapidly and threw off a shower of sparks until the entire spring was consumed. Mr. Tripler explained that alcohol freezes at a temperature of 202 below zero, and he accordingly took a pint of whiskey and pouring liquid air over it, soon had it in a state so that he broke it up into small chunks and passed it around to his audience. Mercury freezes at 40 degrees be low zero. The inventor froze a chunk of it in thc shape of a hammer and drove a nail into thc table on which his experiments were conducted. This hammer afterwards circulated through the audience for half an hour without melting, though it gradually accumu lated a frost on the outside. SEHVKH FROZEN POTATOES. Mr. Tripler dipped several Irish po tatoes into the can of air, and then threw them on the floor, and they broke into pieces like china eggs. The pieces were picked up for souvenirs, but wen: found to be so cold that they were uncomfortable to keep. They were extremely hard and could be carved with ? penknife like box wood. They circulated pretty rapidly through the audience, each person being apparently anxious to pass them on to til? neighbor. A piece of raw beef wr\s immersed in the air and taken out pure .iud white and hard as ivory. Thrown on thc floor it broke into pieces. Several persons having picked these up as souvenirs, Mr. Tripler warned them that in a few mindtcs after the cold had passed away thc- beautiful white substance would return to beef again and would become an uncomfortable keepsake. A cake of icc was placed on the table, and Mr. Tripler placed upon it a teakettle tilled with liquid air. He then put thc teakettle over a gas flame and it quit boiling and a thick coating of ice formed on thc outside and was afterward broken off with a mallet. Mr. Tripler threw a dipperful of air over his clothing and it left them per fectly dry, and a finger dipped in the liquid would be withdrawn dry but uncomfortably cold. A quantity of thc air thrown on thc floor made a heavy sound like melted lead. The liquid scattered in all directions throw ing off a gray vapor and being rapidly consumed. It left the floor dry. SCIENTIFIC MEN ARK DOUBTERS. Mr. Tripler said that ho had received letters from scientific men all over the Vnitcd States questioning his state mont in a recent number of McCluro's magazine, to thc effect that he could produce liquid air with liquid air; that is. with a start of two gallons of the substance he could go on producing any quantity of the air for any length of time. Thc inventor said that though this assertion had been questioned by scientists from Harvard college and from several other eminent institu tions of learning it was literally true, and was demonstrated daily in his lab oratory. Ile said that it was strange that these scientists were not sur prised when, with a few gallons of ammonia, a large ice factory was kept in oporation. He said that he had actually made ten gallons of liquid air in his liquider by tin usc of about three gallon-, a surplusage that would tro ou ?udeliuitcly. The inventor's theory is that liquid air at ??12 degrees below /ero. beinj: warmed by eontaet with the atmos phere, throws oil' a vapor or steam which, if confined, could be made to operate any engine now operated by steam. He held up a glass of the liquid when he dismissed his audience to-night and remarked that if the small quantity of liquid at .512 degrees that he held in his hand were warmed 100 degrees-that is to say 212 degrees below zero-it would throw off a force that, if eonlined, would operate a 1,0(MJ horse-power engine. The inveutor said that he proposed not only to util ize liquid air in place of thc water now used in boilers, but that he pro posed to heat the air with loo natural atmosphere, thus operating engines without water or fuel. One Hope for the South. WASHINGTON*, March 2d.-Secretary of Agriculture Wilson in discussing the productive possibilities of the south and the problem of negro labor, made the following.observations: "The pressing question is, What is the laborer down south who has been growing cotton, and is not gettiug enough for his product, to do in the future to enable him to live comfort ably, not to speak of improvements in his condition, education and all that? "The cotton crop leaves very little that is valuable for domestic animals after thc picking is done, thus differ ing from the corn crop of the north western States. There is a by-pro duct, the cottonseed, that is exceed ingly valuable, and much good work is being done by scientists at experi ment stations to show how valuable cottonseed is for feeding purposes. The nitrogen element is greater than that of any of the grains, lt is rather in nitrogenous matter than peas or beans, richer than gluten, meat or oil cake. '.The northern feeder and the Euro pean feeder have been using this by product of the cotton fields with great advantage, while the loss of its ferti lizing qualities to the south has been very great. "The south has more marked ad vantages over the north with regard to production. It has more heat and moisture, the two great factors of production, and if thc cotton grower is to diversify his crops he must use these natural advantages. The dairy cow and mutton sheep would succeed admirably in the south, but some thing for them tc eat must be pro vided first. Tbe winters in the south are mild; grasses, grains and legumes can be sowu in the fall, grow abun dantly through the winter, upon which the dairy cow and the mutton sheep may thrive and produce. "From one-fifth to one-fourth of all the fat of all the milk on the farms of thc t ni ted States is lost because peo ple do not thoroughly understand when to churn cream. The churning process is an art, having much science underlying it. But the cotton grower of thc south only needs to learn the way, while the man who teaches him can understand the science. "Much yet remains to be discovered in the art of breeding animals, but enough is known to indicate to the in structor of the colored cotton grower work of this kind to enable him to breed his herd intelligently. "The south ean prepare the spring lamb much earlier than thc north can. The southern land owner understands horse raising. There is always a greater demand for saddle horses than is supplied. The world wants car riage and draft horses and good road sters. Karly spring chickens-the broilers-can be produced down there because they have milder winters and milder springs than we have, and the northern market can be supplied. Should the market become over-sup plied we can send this product abroad in the refrigerating compartments of our steamships. "The colored man is learning the trades at Tuskogce; he is mining coal and working the manufacture of iron at Birmingham. Some southern men whom you meet will say that they have the best labor in the world, and in some respects I am inclined to think they have. "Thc south has reached thc point that most of the States of the north west reached. Years ago section after section devoted itself to corn and wheat until the land refused to yield their crops and the farmer was driven to seek diversification. Pros perity came to tho northwest through the diversification of industries on the farm. I know of no other way through which it can come to the south. "It seems to me that the necessities of the occasion arc up to the intelli gent land owner. Ile should inform himself on these lines. He should have done it years ago."-?Vero York World. J. Sheer.

Evans Pharmacy. A Monument in Honor to Mary Wash ington. Down ni Fredcricksburg. Virginia, a monument has been erected to Mary Washington, the mother of the first President of the United States. The handsome park in which it stands was the gift of the Fredericks burg Memorial Association. The shaft will be shaded by the boughs of trees that were transplanted there from Mount Vernon. The grounds are in closed by a handsome railing, and a lodge has been built, where a keeper will always be in attendance. In this pretty little building meetings of the board that has in charge the building of the memorial will be held. This lodge is now occupied by a woman of a distinguished Fredericksburg family, who acts as custodian. It is intended that thc grounds surrounding the mon umeut shall be decorated with shrubs and flowers. Within the enclosure lic3 the shaft given many years ago by Silas Bur rows of New York. This was intend ed for the monument, but the stone was too much iujured to be of any service. There the stone lies, cher ished gratefully by the Memorial As sociation as a tribute of one man's patriotism. It is possible that next May the life members of the association will as semble at Fredericksburg to receive the Mary Washington monument into their keeping and to formulate plans so that the monument and grounds will forever be in the charge of those who have patriotism at heart and who love and revere the names of those who have made American history. Thero are only six hundred life members of the association permitted, and, with the exception of two hun dred, this list is complete. To become a life member a payment of #23 is necessary, and to the life member is given a silver star. A star of gold is given each member on thc payment of an additional $10. This cmblom of patriotism may be transmitted from mother to daughter, or by bequest, and the grave of the mother of Wash ington will forever be protected against decay and vandalism. Thus far the association has expend ed $15,000, and now only $5,000 is necessary to complete thc work. Sara A. Pryor, vice-president of the asso ciation, who lwes at No. 3 West Sixty ninth street, New York, has been particularly active in obtaining patri ots as members of the association and looking after the work. - "I want to ask one more ques tion," said little Frank, as he was being put to bed.

Napoleon, at St. Helena, said to Antono marchi, his physician, "Be ? liex-e me. we had belter "leave oft' all these remedies; life is a fortress which neither you nor I know any th inp about. Why throw obstacles in the way of its de fence? Its own means are superior to all the apparatus of your laboratories. Me li cine is a collection of uncertain prcscr p tions, the results of which, taken collect ively, have been harmful to mankind. Water, air and cleanliness are my chief medicines." At the time when Napoleon said this he was largely right. Physicians in those days dealt out obnoxious and drastic drugs that did -.-icler.ee to every fiber in the bot.y. Since that date medical science has made wonderful strides. Dr. jrierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a medicine composed of native medicinal routs that do no vio lence to nature. Its action is gentle and natural. It simply promotes the natural processes of secretion and excretion. It restores the lost appetite, corrects all dis orders of the digestion, makes thc assimi lation of the food perfect, invigorates the liver, purifies and enriches the blood, builds new and healthy flesh tissue, tones the nerves and gives sweet and refreshing sleep. It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder. It cures 98 per cent of all cases of all diseases of thc air passages that lead up to consumption. It is a wonderful medicine for all diseases due to insufficient or improper nourishment of body or n?rvea. Do not deal with unscrupulous dealers who urge you to take worthless substitutes for thc sake of a few pennies a/Jdcd profit. " t have been using nr.
