We offered a few oranges in our outstretched hands. The necks wriggled over the high fence and quickly the oranges were snatched from our open hands and swallowed whole We know that this is true, for we saw them passing down through the long, slender nocks. The most fortunate of the ostriehes showed two or three distensions of the neck. The birds foot has two toes Indeed, it may be siqd to have one great toe with another seemingly undeveloped. But it isdor Its plumage that the ostrich is noted. We turned our attention to the , , plumage. The great bodies are thickly covered with overlapping feathers, looking Bomewhat like thoroughly worn-ou- t tips. The male birds are black; she females a brownish gray. We were grfeiftiy surprised to see tho number of plumes on the wings not less than thirty or forty overlapping on the tip of each wing. The keeper threw several handful! of corn to the ostriches, also some alfalfa (a kind of hay), cut up and wet with water. They seemed greedy, but we were told it did not require a great deal to keep them. While the heads wei darting about for the feed on tn ground the keeper lifted one of the wings and ran his bund through the mass of feathers, culling forth an exclamation of surprise and delight from each of us. The finest, heaviest plumes in which women always delight are the tail feathers tho soft white ones are from the tail of tho male .bird. Long white feuthers also tip the wings of the male, but the most of his wing feathers ure black. Thesp' are the three natural colors black, white,, and gray and after cleaning the feathers are readv for use, if the natural color is desired.

In Africa, the home of the ostrich, the eggs are often left for days with no other heat than that of the sun. Here the nights are so cold that the only practicable way of hatching the eggs is by the use of an incubator. The birds of which I have been writing are about four years old. and were Imported from Africa. The length of time required to bring egga to this country from Africa is so great that it makes their importation wholly impracticable. Should the conditions here prove favorable to the raising of the ostrich it ought to be a very profitable business. Each bird bears so many plumes, and these may be gathered yearly. In many localities in Africa where the ostrich was otiei found in great numbers, they are rapidly disappearing before the march of civilization. From early tunes their plumes have been W. II.
