South African Raisers of the Birds Believe They Can Largely Increase
the Supply.
An effort Is being made hy South African ostrich fanners to Increase the plume (juills of ostriches, and Professor Deverden believes this can he done hy ns much ns 23 per cent, hut IV. P. Pyernft. the great English tint- ) nrfi!l«t. Is skeptical. The number of plumes from each wing rfverages 30. and occasionally runs as high as 42 in the South African species and 39 In the North African. The Inner Is the larger bird and bs bones are denser. The Ornntfonteln School of Agriculture Is trying by proper mating to breed a race of 42 plume birds. Professor Pyernft writes in the Elnstraled London News that the ancestor of the ostrich undoubtedly possessed the power of flight, when the wing ouiUs of ihe hand numbered 10. while the secondary feathers, attached along the forearm, probably did not exceed 20. 'Tills was the original Inheritance and it can never he Increased. espeelnlly now that the whole wing has degenerated Into n mere wreck of its original self. There nre now about 1.000.000 birds on the African ostrich farms and the value of their exported feathers Is about $l3.ono.(K¥t.

League Covenant In Esperanto.
In the ease of most International conventions a version in one language, customarily French. Is taken ns the original text. The treaty of Versailles, however, stipulates that the French and English texts shall have equal authority. But a perfectly equivalent translation of anything more complex than the multiplication fable Is Impossible and already controversies have arisen over supposed discrepancies In the two versions.

Doris Laird's gaze passed idly ovei the dainty room in which she lay In dillglng in an unaccustomed afternoon rest—mentally she contrasted Its pret ty appointments with the simple fur uiture of her bedroom in the litile Ver inant town where she taught school. it hardly seemed possible that she was here in this lovely home to he Nina Hnzen's maid of honor—Nina ihe wealthiest and most accomplished girl in tlie school wlileh they had both attended, hut in which Doris, lacking the pretty clothes and the means to d< the ildngs in which the other girls Indulged, remained almost unknown. But it was just like warm-hearted Nina to choose quiet lltle Doris to he her first attendant at her marriage to Phil Crosby. No wonder all the other young men in Nina's set were so envious of Phil's success! Everyone at the Hazens' had been kind and courteous—Nina's friends had helped Doris choose her gown, and there had always been plenty of escorts for the different affairs. But still Doris was naturally of a retiring nature and everyone seemed to take rather an Impersonal Interest in her. Just now she was thinking that Nina was the only person In this great house whom she could call an intimate friend. Her day dreaming was Interrupted hy a knock at the door, which opened to admit one of the housemaids. “Miss Nina Is railing you from downstairs. Miss Laird.” she snkl. Doris, hastening into (lie corridor, heard Nina cnllng: “Run to the extension In the library and listen In. It's Ted Manning. Phil’s best man. anil this is tlie only chance you two will have to become acquainted before tomorrow.” By this time Doris had lifted the receiver from its hook and heard Nina very prettily speaking tlie necessary Introduction. “You two will have a great deal In common tomorrow.” she added, “and I want you to know one another before the big event.” Then, with a hurried apology about being culled for a final fitting. Nina's receiver was placed on its hook with n sharp click. There was a moment's embarrassing silence, then the man’s voice came to the rescue In hearty tones. Doris recognized a Western accent and soon slip found herself talking to this utter stranger as if they had been lifelong friends. They spoke only of conventional Ihlngs, hut there was something In Ted Manning's courteous words, as they drifted over the wire, that made Doris very curious to know more of
him.
Twenty minutes Inter Nina, passing through the library, caught Doris Just hanging up the receiver. “Why, Doris Laird! You don't mean to say Ted Manning has kept you talking all tills time! Do come and see the gorgeous Itivnlllere that Aunt Harriet has sent.” And the two girls ran happily downstairs. The morning hours were busy ones for Doris, hut through all the preparations ran curious thoughts of Ted Manning. She dreised with a carefulness not entirely due to the occasion, and the result was really very satisfactory. Her gown of many dainty mauve ruffles made her look very much like a little girl dressed in long skirts for tho first time. Beneath a rose-crowned poke her hair framed her face in pretty brown waves, and In place of the conventional roses and orchids she carried a quaint little old-fashioned nosegay. wilh Its white lace frill. Doris recognized Ted Manning the minute she entered the drawing room and heard him as he moved from one friend to another. And then some one was Introducing them. “Your eyes match your voice. Miss Doris Laird.” was Ted's rather extraordinary acknowledgment of the Introduction. And the elderly gentleman who hud brought them together decided they were getling along very nicely together and took his departure. As the wedding party moved down the church aisle Nina’s stately tienuty In Id the eyes of all the guests, but there was many an admiring glance for the little girl In mauve. After it was over Doris remained for a few days with Mrs. Hnzen, as Nina hud said, "Just until she becomes accustoiued to my being away." During her stay there Ted called upon her as many times ns conventlob would allow, and used every possible excuse he could Invent to converse with her hy telephone. His rapid courtship, accompanied hy lavish offers of flowers and sweets, would have swept almost any girl off her feet. But Doris had a sensible little head on her shoulders and would not have relented so easily had she not realized the real strength and fine ness of character which lay henmilh Ted Manning's cure-free manner. Soon after Nina'a return Ted and Doris were married; a quiet wedding In contrast to the elaborate CrosbyHnzen affair. There was much comment In Nina's set at this unexpected capture of one of the most eligible young men in town. But to Ted and iHirls. crossing Ihe country on the first Journey of their life with one another, these comments, friendly or otherwise, made very little difference. ••Well have a telephone In every J r<Miiu," Ted had said. Jokingly. And Doris, thinking of their first j words with one another, had agreed u.ilmi this would be quite appropriate.
DID YOU DREAM OF ACCIDENTS? •T'HK high-brows, the scientific inA vestigntors of dream phenomena, have invented a fearful and wonderful word for the art of taking omens from dreams. The call it oneiroumney —five syllables, accent on the second. Freud, in answer to the question, “Does the dream have any value for n knowledge of the future?” would substitute "for a knowledge of the past, 1 * for “the dream originates in the past In every sense. He adds in his characteristically involved and transcendental manner "to be sure the ancient belief that the dream reveals the future is not entirely devoid of truth. By representing to us a wish as fulfilled the dream certainly leads us Into the future, but Ibis future taken by the dreams us present, has been formed Into the likeness of the past hy the indestructible wish." Head that over several times and perhaps you will see what the learned professor Is driving at. The anelents, especially the Persians, Egyptians and Greeks who erected the foretelling of events hy dreams Into an art. divided dreams Into different kinds, only one kind of which would literally come true and would not interpret the dreams of people who had been drinking. And some modern soothsayers refuse to regard as prophetic dreams caused hy j indigestion or alcohol. Bishop Synesius, who lived in the fourth century and will he remembered hy all readers of Charles Kingsley's Hypatia, wrote a treatise on dreams in which he states thuUas no two people are alike Ihe same dream does not have the same significance for everybody and we must find out the meaning of our dreams for ourselves. All of which is well l<> remember when we consider the dicta of the modern mystics in j regard to such dreams as say those of accidents for instance. Some mystics say that to dream of seeing or being in an accident merely means that you are to have an unexpected meeting with some acquaintance; others that it Is a warning not to travel for a while. According to still others to see an accident In a dream means short-lived worries and to dream of being in one, a slow but sure success In life. (Copyright.) O "Tg—"-g^r=4.

It happened! one night after the dance on the bureau, when the little lady w ho tossed the fan there was fast asleep. The Frame Lady says that when the moonlight streamed in through tlie window she was so surprised she nearly fell out of her frame to see
the little painted lady on the blue satin fan step out of her place and go to the mirror and look in. "I am pretty,” she said, “and my feet are small. I am mire 1 can dance, and I am tired of going to parties and balls and seeing everybody dance, while I have to look on.” Then she picked up her dainty lace skirt and bowed low and began dancing about the bureau top. The hatpins began turning their little heads, anti when the Fan Lady came tip to them they all hopped out and followed her. She stopped in front of the pincushion and began to laugh. "Oh! you fat, plump thing! You cannot dance; you are much too clumsy,” she said, dancing away. But the pincushion did not like hi*ing culled fat, and to show it was not clumsy it began to bob about and off It rolled on Hie floor.
The tall bottles began to wltlrl abutu and tln^Fnn Lady danced about Hu.,,, until one humped Into her. "Clumsy awkward thing!" she said, '‘Yntt mr’i dance." And over went the pisir bn tie. spilling its perfume.

The mirror, Unding It was topheavy and could not dance, lay down, and on this the little Kan Lady stepped to keep out of the wet.
