“Ont on the Pacific coast a great deal
oi amusement is furnished to people of
an observant, disposition,” said L. O.
Gardner of Grays Harbor, Wash., “by
a walk along the seashore. For instance,
there w the robber gull, one of the most
graceful of birds, which always follows

catching fish, which it sees from a
groat height,' diving with the swiftness
of a bullet and seldom missing its prey,

soldier’s haversack. That is the gull’s
opportunity. The instant the fish leaves
tho beak of tho big bird tho robber
swoops down with the swiftness of the
Wind, and before the fish reaches the
distended jaws of the. pelican it. is snap¬
ped up, and the pOilctlU IS left, far behind,

hut healthy troo climber. In one corner
^ the room is a bed, and iu another are
two dumbbells made fast with chains,
because the iuoukey throws things when
Us temper is ruffled.

great as to attract hunters. The Arabs

ostrich, for as it is H feetliigh and haa
ve! Y ^ u possesses a quickness
of movement which the Is st horse can-
not attain. It has grout endurance.
Overtaken by, the hunter, it seeks'to de-
^,,3 w §th its feet and wings, but
inore often it still Rtrivis to escape’by
night, nttexing a plaintive ctv. I 11 fact,

it is able to quickly traverse tlie almost

The Arab knows very well that it'is
the habit rf the ostrich f o make great
detours about its cost in a circle. He
chast a it, then, without ceasing until it
is almost there, when, worn out, ft suc-
enmbs, conw aling its licad in the sand
in order not to see its enemy, or in-
Stinctively hoping to escape a danger
which it cannot see any more. This
chase requires eight or ten hours, but it
offers largo rewards. The plumes are
worth a considerable sum, the skill
makes good leather, and tho Arabs are
very fond of the flesh. Besides, in spite
,,f t! ,. fact that it reproduces its species
rapidIv, the ostrich Is all the tilde Ke-
coming rarer, and it is hunted for ex-
port and dmaeclication in other ootin-
trios. It is one of Africa's great re-
sources and may become a new source
(,f prosperity to Algerians if they arc
willing to make the effort. The point of
the popular saying, “tlie stomach of an
ostrich,” has been confirmed recently by
an autopsy on one, dddbtless for a time
captive, when the following was found
in its stomach: A parasol handle, two
keys, two great pieces of coal, a glove,
a handkerchief, a pair of eyeglasses, a
ring, a comb, three large rocks, the necks
of two beer bottles, the sole of a shoe, a
bell and a little harmonicon.—Paris II-

wbM> the monkey plainly expected, and
it thereupon held the harmonicon at
ami's length to look at. It blew the In-

looking at it as if to make out what the
trouble was. At last Billy threw , „ the v

how to turn the crark the boy left the

it, and then, taking hold cf the handle,
t,eg tin to turn it slowly. The music
came, and the monkey began to dance,
first on one fodt and then on the other,
whining with delight. It is only after
the removal of the box that Billy can
be made to exercise on the bars and
swing enough to keep hi health.
Billy does not weigh more than two
pounds, but every grain of those two
potmds is full of grit when it comes to
a fight. Sum, the house cat, a big gray
brute, scarred in street fights with wan-
dering tramp cats, got into Billy’s room
one day, and the monkey’s lips curled,
The cat looked up at the monkey, which
was on h trapeze bar, and licked its
chops. Billy apparently knew what that
meant aud dropped down part way to
the floor. The cat jumped, but Billy
did the giant swing, and the cat missed.
Before the cat had got to the floor again
Billy was on it, and in two minutes tlie
cat was leaping over bars and swings,
yowling with pain. Sam never visited

'‘Bay-beo, bay-boo?” called the grimy
faced urchin couxingly.
The baby with tho white coat aud the
kid gloves looked sidewise toward the
curb. Its mother was one of the crowd
hi front of tho store window and look¬
ing at a perfect lovo of a bonnet.
“Bay-bee, bay-boe?” came theiuvita-
tiun again.
Totteringly the baby approached the
curb and smiled trustfully up at the
dmgv face. The urchin dropped down
on his rugged knees, laid the papers he
was soiling on tho pavement and patted
the little kid glove with his rod, dirty
little hand. “Pretty bay-beet” he said,
Just then the mother turned, ran
across the pavement and dragged the
baby back. “How daro yon touch her,
you dirty little good for nothing!” she
said.

Tho most singular audience that I

India correspondent of (he Boston Go3d-
Kule.
When 1 commenced work in the re
glon which I havo now occupied for
more than 30 years, I asked two follow
missionaries to join me in a preaching
tour iu the adjacent taluk, or county,
We first wont with three native assist-
ants to the taluk towu, br county seat.
Our tents were pitched in agrovead-
joining tho town. Wo usually on our
tours went two aud two to preaoh iu the
villages; but, this being the taluk town,
and the first of orn- preaching the gospel
i a that region, wo went iu a body into

preaching more at length, while
watched the audience, to study the ooun-

expected to work.
1 had noticed that behind the houses
on the opposite side of the street there
was a long row of trees growing in tneu'
back yards, the branches of which
stretched out ever the flat roofs.
Chancing to raise my eyes, I notice;,
many branches of these trees beginning;
to bend downward toward the roofs and
saw the faces of some old jack monkeys
peering out through tbo foliage. Seen
some of thorn jumped down and _ came
forward to see what their “big breth-
ers” in the street- were about, as they
stood gazing so intently at these white
men standing on the platform. Spring¬
ing upon the parapet, they seated thc-m-
itelvffl, with their hind feet hanging
over in front, and gazing with fixedness
at the preacher, as thoy saw The people
in the street doing.
Other monkeys followed, until there
was a long row of them thus seated on
the parapet. The late comers I could see
walking along behind the parapet, ipolr-
ing for a place wide enough to - get a
seat. Failing to find a wide enough
place between two already seated mon-
keys, they would put up their hands,
and, pushing each one sidewise, would
seem to be saying, “Sit along a little,
please, and give a fellow a seat,” until
the "bench” was crowded,
Tho audience in the street, standing
with their hacks toward that row of
houses, did not notice the monkeys, and
eo their attention was not distracted by
them.

Ciocfcs With Norvoa,
There is one disadvantage about very
tall buildings which is being noticed by
tho occupants. It is perhaps a small
disadvantage, ering, but still is worth consid¬
as it involves some annoyance to
those who iiavo not inode provision for
it.
Tho trouble referred to is tho stop¬
ping of pendulum clocks by tho vibra¬
tion of the buildings. Many a pendulum
clock that has kept accurate time for
years iu old fashioned low structures
has refused to tun at rill tv hen moved
into some one ol the new tall steel
framed buildings iu the lower part of
the city. On tho lower floors of the
buildings tho clocks run fairly well, but
when higher iip in the buildings they
become more whimsical and on the top
floors will not run at alt.—New York
