the meantime, there is almost infinite variety of
the smaller species of indigenous quadrupeds and Of
garae and pumage birds. and the lover of bush life
sport in the back-country5 OF New South Wales or
Queensland. The one animal which is insrparaby
connected with an Engishman's idea OF sport in
tralian quadruped affords no lack of sport being
either hunted or shot. as fancy may direct. Be-
sides this there are the wallabes and wallaroos,
the dngoes or wild dogs, and the " brumbiesD or
lid horses not to mention the myriads OF rabbits
and in some parts the troops of hares that have
found congenial home on Australian soil. The
destruction OF any of these animals is q matter not
merely of sport but of absolute necessity so great
as TO call for speca Acts of Parliament 10 facilitate
their determination. sentimental outcry has
been Occasionally raised jim the English press
against the Queensland Marsupials Act, the object
of which Is not the protection, but the destruction
of the swarms of kangaroOs and other pouched
animals which In some parts of the colony have
threatened to eat hundreds OF hardworking colo
nists out of house and home It has been proved by
statistics in the Queensland Assembly that run
which used to carry 10000 sheep had been so de-
vasated as to afford sustenance for barely 1.-THE
of that number. So war to the knife was declared
against these destructive creatures. and they and
other vermin afford good opportunities OF sport,
even where agame," more properly so-called, Is
not to be obtained.
As an instance of the great abundance and
variety of game and vermn In the vast country of
New South Wales, may quote the shooting list OF

still worse; and while contemplat ng another
sleepless night, the moth stepped from lhe

GOOD ADVICE FROM y LEADING
MEDICAL PROFESSOR.

The learned doctor says: keep some
kind of tonic medicine always in the
house, and if anyone feels unwell, make
free use of it. But first, be sure that it is
both harmless as well as meTitorioUs. Put
no trust in alcoholic preparations: neither be
partial to any remedy that produces severe
cathartic effect, for prostration of the nerv-
Gus system and digestive organs is sure to
follow. The mildest and best medicine
ever invented for strengthening every part
of the body and restoring impaired or lost
organic functions to their normal condition,
and one which is having an unparalleled
and rapidly increasing sale in the Eastern
States, is Browns Iron Bitters Any drug
gist will procure it for you if you request
him TO do so, especially when he finds you
cannot be persuaded to take some substitute.
1t does not contain alcohol, and is the only
preparation of Iron that cures headache and
does not blacken the teeth. 1t is sure re-
viver, true strengthened, and the very best
medicine ever invented for permanently
strengthening the pulmonary, urinary and
digestive organs, and preventing consump-
ton, kidney diseases and chronic dyspepsia,
often curing these diseases when all other
remedies have failed for it is truly natures
