FLORIDA OSTRICHES BO NORTH.
Twenty-five big birds from the
Florida ostrich farm have been sent
to Saratoga and the branch farm
opened there. B» Cornell is in charge
of the exhibition, and has with him
Headkeeper Campbell. Among the
ostriches which have gone to Sarato-
go are Oliver W., the pacing ostrich,
which goes in- harness, and for this
bird there have been twenty engage
ments made to appear at state fairs
and exhibitions. Oliver W. is one of
the wonders of the race track, and is
a great drawing card for state fairs»
where he goes a mile paced by a man
on horseback. Among the birds sent
arc Beau Brummei), Grover Cleve
land, Maj. McKinley, Joaunah, who
has but one wing, the other having
been kicked off in a fight with Beau
Brutnmcll; Jim Corbett and several
others, which were considered the
biggest birds in the flock. Another
consignment, which will be made in
the near future, is to Bass Point,
where twenty birds will be sent.
With the birds go hatching outfits,
and many young chicks will be incu
bated in the North this year. Among
the birds shippep were four chicks,
which were batched out at Saratoga
in the incubator last year. They arc
known as High Rock, Vichy, Klssan-
geti and Saratoga, and will no doubt
be a great attraction at that resort
this summer.—Savannah News.

A German’scientist, having exam
ined the contents bf the stomachs of
oyer 5,000 crows, lias determined the
character of the orow diet and found
how largely tins is made up of farm
a id garden products. Wheat, rye,
its and barley were present in per
cents ringing from 5 to 8, together
with varying quantities of fruit and;
garden vegetables. Crows fed on
exclusive vegetable diet died within
a short time, showing that they ab-
s lately repuire animal food, which
normally constitutes about 30 per
cent, of their food. The auimals
eaten included mice, insects, labbits,
pheasants, small birds, frogs, snails
and earth worths. The insects and
ottier auimals destroyed were fortbe
most part injuries ones either, for
agriculture or forestry, and bonce tbe

to prevent damage to crops by these

In connection with the strenuous
efforts now being made to suppress
gambling frauds on the great ocean
steamers, says the Baltimore Sun,
someone has rucalled a story which
-old Captain Judkins, of the Cunard
Line—in his day the most famous of
Atlantic captains—used to tell. i
There were stringent rules against
gambling on the Cuuarders, but there
was another company that was most
lenient in the matter. One day a
hot game was in progress on one of
the boats of the latter line- There
were several lookers on, among them
the ship’s captain, who had strolled
in fov a moment. Another bystander
noticed that one of the players,
Mhile dealing, dealt himself cards
from the bottom of the pack and
fortified himself with four aces,
shocked at the fraud, the bystander
looked at the captain, but the cap
tain gave no sign of haying seen the
triok. Pulling him away from the
table the bystander said:^ “Pld you
see that captain?"-. “See wbat.? n '
was the retort. “Why, that fellow
dealt himself four aces.” “Well,
wasli’t it his deal ?”
fclUIIT WAS HER TERROR.
“I would cough nearly all night
long,” writes Mrs. Chas. Applegate,
of Alexandria, Ind., “and could hard
ly get any sloed. I had consumption
so bad that if I walked a block I
would cough frightfully and spit
blood, but, when all other hiedioines!
failed, three fy 1.00 bottles of Dr. j
King’s New Discovery wholly cured :
me and I gained 58 pounds.” It’s
absolutely guaranteed to eiire coughs,
colds, la grippe, bronchitis and all
throat and lung troubles. Price 50o

a striking resemblance.

SCOTTISH PRIDE AND CARNEOIE’s
MILLIONS.
Several days ago we took occasion
to say that Mr. Carnegies’ pleasure
in accumulating bis vast fortune was
far greater than his pleasure in dis
tributing it is likely to be be. As
far as we are informed not a single
one of the English or Scottish papers
or periodicals has expressed hearty
appreciation and unqualified appro
val of Mr. Carnegie’s act in endow
ing the four‘great universities of.
Scotland with a snm sufficient to en
able them to make tuition free.
The Review of the Week adopts a
sneering tone in commenting upon
the gift, and says it hopes Scottish
pride will rise up against the invasion
of the almighty dollar. It objects
to tbe sons of the oldest families of
Scotland getting an education at tbe
expense of “an Amerioan iron mon
gen.” It thinks that if the Carnegie
gift is accepted some Chicago prok
packer will want to buy up Oxford
and Cambridge dictate the studies to
be taught in those universities, or a
Boss Croker will endeavor to get
control of the London University
with the view of introducing Tam
many principles Into the politics of
the British metropolis.
It may be that the four universi-
sities will accept Mr. Carnegie’s gift,
but it is plain from what is appear
ing in the public prints of England
and Scotland that the friends of those
universities are not everjoyed at the
munificence of the American mil
lionaire.
The Scottish universities are in a
very prosperous condition and have
been for many years. The fees for
the support of the professors have
been paid freely, and tbe fact that it
cost something to get a university
education seemed to make such au
education ail the more desirable. Al
though the population of Scotland is
very much smaller than that of Eng
land tbe attendance at the Scottish
universities has, at times, been larger
than that at the great English univer
sities.
The Scottish universities have not
complained of a lack of means to
meet the demands of their profes
sors. No doubt they would like to
have the means for increasing facili
ties for teacing—for new buildings
and for scientific experiment—but
they have not been asking for en
dowments so as to relieve students
from thp v p{iyj^ent-juf tuition fees,
Probably they feel that if tuition
were 1 made fi'Sethero would be a fal
ling off in the number of students—
that they would get the dry rot, as
it were, and would gradually fall
into decay.
No doubt Mr. Carnegie’s inten
tions are good, though it mav be
that in making hie gift he adopted
the plan that promised to keep alive
his memory longest. Now, however,
finding that his plau is not well re
ceived, he may so change it as to
leave it to the universities themselves
as to how the money shall be spent.
No doubt there would be no criticism
of his gift if be were to adoj t that
course. If he does not want to do
that, let him distribute his money in
this country where he accumulated
it. Scotland has no claim on him or
his fortune, and apparently doesn’t
care yery much for either.
