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."

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

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

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.

Napoleon, at

said to Antono
marchi, his
physician, "Be

"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

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.
