Some Facts About Australia.

Australia with Tasmania, is only q
little less in area than Europe. The hot
test climate in the world probably occurs
in the desert interior of Australia.
Captain Stuart hung q thermometer on
tree shaded both from wind and sun.
It was graduated to 1879 F., yet so great
was the heat of the air that the mercury
rose till it burst the tube, and the
temperature must thus have been at
least 1882 F., apparently the highest
ever recorded in any part of the world.
For three months Captain Stuart found
the mean temperature to be over lO10 F.,
in the shade. Nevertheless, on the
southern mountains and table-lands
three feet of snow sometimes fall in a
day. Snow storms have been known to
last three weeks, the snow lying from
four to fifteen feet in depth, burying the
cattle. Australia is land of drought
and food. The annual rainfall of Sgd.
ney has varied from twenty-five to
eighty-two inches. Lake George, near
Goulburn, was in 1924 twenty miles
long and eight miles broad. gradually
shrank till in 1887, when it became quite
dry, and it's bottom was converted into a
grassy plain. In 1865 it YVES a lake
again, seventeen feet deep; two years
later it was only two feet deep; and in
1876 it was twenty feet in depth

Death While Dancing.

The death took place on Saturday
night, under very shocking circum-
stances, CT William Sharkey, a young
man who had lived with his mother in
Dunfelds, but who had previously been
sailor. During the evening he had
been in town with some companions,
and shortly after 10 o'clock at night
called at the Sun Inn, at the corner of
Bower Spring, where he and his friends
had some beer and were served in the
tap-room. The young fellow was then
perfectly sober and it is said thst his
companions also were. Turning to a
com panion named Larkin, Sharkey said,
"Lend US your knife" and with this
young fellow commenced cutting some
tobacco. While cutting q piece of
"twist," Sharkey, who was noted for
being very jovial, sailor-like, commenced
singing, Paddy, you're the devil; the
the whisky is your own," and danced in
time to the tune. While doing 80 he
knocked against wooden projection,
and Immediately tore open his shirt, ex-
claiming, ooh, my God, Pm DONE"
Larkin put his arm around him to steady
him, as he appeared to be Keeling.
Sh&rkey thereupon drew the knife from
his bosom, closed it and handed it to his
friend, who supported the poor fellow
and conveyed him to the street. On
going to an adjoining druggists shop it
is stated that the proprietor of it told
them to 60 to the infrma.y. In the
meantime Sharkey exclaimed in the
shop, am growing faint" Ultimate
~ he was placed in cab, Larkin still
befriending him and, to use the words of
the latter, "he was dying as we went
along" On reaching the infrmary the
injured man gave few gasps and ex-
pired. An examination showed that the
knife had penetrated to the region of
the poor fellows heart, if not the heart
itself, and the wound thus inflicted was
the cause of Observation-Disclosures Eng. }

The commune of Obersmmergau has
built new theatre for the representa-
tions of "the History of the Suffarings
and Death of Jesus" which will be Civ.
en- in the famous valley next year. The
part for the spectators will accommodate
between five and six thousand persons.
Exactly as in the great theatre built for
the Wagner festival at Beyreuth, the
orchestra will be placed quite out of
view of the spectators. The number of
persons who will be engaged in the per-
formance, including children, will be
between $50 and 700. Of these, - will
be actors and solo singers. The orches-
ira will consist of 80 performers. AL.
most the entire reputation of the dis
trict will have some share in these gi

THE ANGELS SONG.
EDMUND II. SEARS.

It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on earth good will 10 men
From Heavens Ail-gracious King"
The world in solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurl'd.
And still their heavenly music floats
Ger all the weary world.
Above its sad aud lowly plains
They bend on lowering wing,
And Ger its Babel sounds
The b essed angels sing.
But with the woe of sin and strife
The wor d has suffered long;
Beneath the angel strain that rolld
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love song whico they bring;
Oh hush the nOisa, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels singl
And ye, beneath lifs's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who tolFd aong the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look nowl for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
OH rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels singi
For lol the days are Fastening on
TIE prophet. bards foretold,
When with ever-circling wears
Comes round the age Cf gold;
When peace b tll over all the earth
It's ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the song

About Rubber Boots.

Undue competition between manufacturers
has led to an extent of adulteration and
cheapening Of material never before known
in the business. Crude rubber has the quality
of absorbing or OF becoming incorporated
with very large quantity of cheap and bulky
substances like lampblack, chalk, etc., which
cannot be detected by the animated, and
which impair the durability of the goods.
People call for low-priced goods, not rejecting
that low prices always mean low quality. The
result is they waste money on I" wild cat rub
Der boots, when an extra dollar OR two would
buy them pair which will wear to their ut
most satisfaction whole season or more. The
"95 Per Cent. Sterling Rubber Boot, manu-
featured by the Candee Rubber Co., New Ha-
ven, Conn, is meant to reform this abuse, and
is well worth the inspection Of those who need
a real good article, Every store dealing in the
"95 Per Cent. Sterling Rubber Boots, is sup
piled with sample cut open to show the con-
struction. They are warranted three months,
and the storekeeper will punch the date Of
sale in the top OF the leg of each boot.
