Tha Boomerang.

This curious weapon, peculiar to tho
native of Australia. has often proved a
puzzle 10 the men of science. 1t is a
piece of carved wood nearly in the
form of crescent, from thirty to forty
inches long. pointed at both ends. and
the corner quite sharp. The mode Of
using it is as singular as the weapon.
Ask black to throw it 30 rs to let it
fall at his feet. and away it goes, forty
yards from him, skimming along the
surface at three or four feet from the
ground. when it will suddenly rise in
the air forty or sixty foot, describing =
curve, and finally dropping at the feet
OF the throwef. During its course it
revolves with great rapidity oa = pivot.
with q whizzing noise. 1t is wonderful
so barbarous a people have invcnted 50
singular weapon, which sots the laws
of progress At defiance. 1t is worry dan
gorous for Al European to project it at
any object, ~ it may return and strike
himself In natives hand it is for
midnbls weapon, striking without the
protector being seon. 1t was invented
to strike the kangaroo. which is killed
with oertointv.

He Was Willing TO Helm,

Sometimes an aiv'%tising agency i'll
the East sends Us proposition which
shows style of rash liberality which
cannot be conducive to thrift and pros
perity. One Of these concerns tho other
day made proposition to US to run a
quarter column ad. OF q preparation
which would make whiskers grow on a
meerschaum pipe. The ad. was to run
in the daily and weekly one year, and
copies of both papers were to be sent to
the agent. During that time $3.50
worth of local notices were to be insert
ell also. The whole thing at our rates
would figure up about S4O0. and the
princely sum of $50 less 33} per cent.
the charges of the agency. was lavishly
offered. OF course we want to encour-
age the healthy growth of new and at
tractive styles of whiskers in Wyoming
We want to see whisker industry
spring up here on the frontier that will
rival the crops of older and more civil
lied countries, but we cannot herald
the glad tidings of whisker balm all
over the United States and Southern
New Jersey just for the pure and inno-
cent pleasure of seeing picture in our
paper of a man with a beard on him
like q buffalo overcoat. Whatever will
forward the interests OF our young Ter
ritory in any way we hope to assist so
long as we can do SO. and still obtain
money enough to pay freight on sight
drafts and lead pencils. But we cannot
wear out our young life trying to in-
augurate tropical growth of whiskers,
for the satisfaction of being called a
philanthropist with our toes sticking
out through our boo0ts. We want 10
see the liver pad, the vinegar bitters
and the moustache promoter industry
in this country reach a degree of pros
pcrity which will he the envy and ad-
miration of older States, but We desire
also 10 obtain a handsome competency
and to acquire that amount of arro-
gance and grub which wealth and posi-
iion yield. We hope we will be for
given for this selfish and mercenary
spirit, but it has obtained the mastery
over us. and we are the willing slave Of
q wild, uncomfortable desire to revel in
ono shirt while the other is in the wash

There are two kinds of Chinese beds,
and both are arranged for complete
shutting in by means of hanging cur
tains and tapestry. The expensive kind
is like sort Of cage. having q fiat,
wooden roof just the size of the bed
proper. supported at a height of about
eight feet from the floor BY four corner
posts and two intermediate ones. Then
there is sort of frize OF entablature
work running around horizontally.
above and below. so that when you are
in bed you are safely penned in a sort
of cage. and cannot possibly tumble
out. The carvings on these beds are
sometimes very rich. and they cost
much; but the ordinary aud cheaper
kind is made of two frames Of wood,
shaped something like tho skeleton Of
an old-fashioned .'settie." which are
stood up on the floor facing each other.
A mattress is placed on the projecting
parts Of these frames. and couple Of
slight sticks across the top; then cur
tains and hangings shut all in. and
make it look rs pretty rs tho tasto

Absence of Mind.

Absence of mind is sure sign of in
cipient mental disease; it is nature 8
warning to the ovcr-worked. If the
habit increases. absurd and oven harm
full acts are committed. The collections
of anecdotes arc full of storics of such
follies. We know of an able young
lawyer. who. instead of pouring tonic
from bottle On his desk, carefully
emptied tho ink from his inkstand into
a spoon and swallowed it. Another,
an ex-Attorney General of the United
States, wont on a fortnight's trip to at
tend an absorbing legal case. His wife
packed a half dozon shirts in his port
manteau. On his return there was no
shirt visible. Pushing her inquiries.
sho found that her husband had rcgu-
larly put OH clean shirt every other
day. but had forgotten to take off the
soiled one. and now returned wearing
the whole half dozen. An authentic
anecdoto of the great political cconO-
mist, Adam Smith, tells us that whom
called upon to sign a contract. instead
of writing his own name. he made an
elaborate imitation of the signature Of
the other party which had already been
affixed. Such incidents do not rebound
to mans credit; they seem to give
evidence of mental weakness. Those,
therefore, who feel this habit creeping
upon them should resist il stoutly.

fhe Good Qualities of Homely Oonnecti
cut Girl,

Twas dull. heavy evening; the
light of the dozen gas jets along the
street only served to make the haze and
fog visible Tie clock just tinkled
forth the hour of nine, and, with the
usual remark that "'twas time honest
folks were abed," old McGunnigiggIe
trudged off upstairs, followed by the
aged partner of his SORROWS and search
er for his joys.
Don't you young folks sit up till the
morning paper comes, this time, shout
ed she over the bannister.
'No-o-o." replied sweet voice
from the parlor; 1--WE won't, will weP''

mot if l know it." was the reply.
eff the old folks are going to be as sour
as this guess Pll skip now" and he
reached for his hat.
..See here r' and the girls eyes
cleaned with earnestness; you're the
first fellow I've had. and you've got to
put down that hat and sit up and court
me in good shape. Pm homely,
know, but / can build better bread, iron
q bosom shirt handsomer. knit a pair of
stockings quicker, and make $1.37 go
further than any girl in the village.
Them's my recommendations"
That suits me exactly" and his hat
flew into the corner, and that evening
the details of the wedding were all ar
ranged He depended on girl as
smart as that to get the best of the old
folks.
