There are great many Chinese
emigrants in some parts of Australia,
and II publican who had had many
small dealings with the "almon eyes" "
found them close-remarkably close
though honest. But on certain day
his confidence was rudely shaken.
John faced the bar, and blandly, as
usual, requested "two shillings blandly.'
1t was given him in bottle, and
the bottle went up his capacious sleeve.
But, as he sought for the money
amongst the mysterious folds of his
neither gear his face grew blank. "No
catchcc money; by-by catchec money,
the catchee blandy." He put the bot
tle-rather a bottle-upon the bar and
retired. An hour elapsed and he did
not return. The Boniface took up the
bottle, intending to replace the liquor
in the original flask; but, ere doing so,
he applied it to his nose. Confusion !;
the contents of the bottle were not
even one star brandy, but very mild
tea. 1t was not the same bottle

A Miners Prize Fight.

a newspaper correspondent gives
this picture Of fight he saw between
two miners: The fight at Avondale
had reached its fortieth round when
our train stopped there, and one of the
combatants was scarcely able to stand
up so as to be knocked down by his
antagonist. "Take him away" shout
ed several voices, as the vanquished
miner collapsed under the force of the
forty-first round. "The divil o that
he'll lave" said lusty supporter of
the "under man. until he has salts
faction" "If it's any satisfaction for
you to see him killed." cried a grim
faced little fellow, who looked like an
imp in the blackness of the coal-dust,
otis that sure he'll be before long, for
he has more meghrums in his head now
than he can get out in week Mind

first speaker; Jimmy is goin' to fight

Just then pale, haggard little wo-
man dashed through the crowd, greatly
agitated, and OH gaining the open space
within she rushed up to the gladiator,
who was waiting calmly for his victim
and struck him savagely in the breast,
exclaiming, "Me curse on you, Mick ;
is it how you want to kill my Jimmie !!
Get away wild you now." Then turn
ing to the PROSTATE man, she cried, in Il
voice of tenderness. "Ah, Jimmie,
Jimmie, what's come over you, fghtin'
away like this, an your little Allie
dead ?"
The stupid pugilist Frightened Il
minute, and answered, "ls it how you
said Allie was dead, Nancy?'
"Yes, yes" and she claspcd her
hands with II mournful wall. dead

near home last night, but were drink

She wiped the bleeding, bloated face of
the young husband as she spoke, and
when one of the bystanders, who had
been touched by her violent emotion,
asked What did the child die off, the
woman quickly responded, with the
smallpox, sure" The words had more
power to scatter the mob than if Il
battery of artillery had just assaulted
it, and in short time there were none
left but the afflicted woman and her
silly husband, whom she helped as best
she could toward their stricken home.

70 Mr.. Tong King Sing. who has under

for the FIRST mining operations is

coal mines, and In country easy of
access, copper ore Of abnormal rich
ness has been found, and in the hills
which bound the vast coal and iron

Epiourean Smokers.

IplVuI6aU 0QOk6lSs
Carl Prctzel thus discOurses. In the
National Weekly concerning lovers of
the weed
Among smokers there are many cpl
cures their fas,idiousness ia exhibited
in a hundred ways. The epicurian
smoker INDUCES in his darling habit
only under the most favorable condi.
tions; the right time, the right place,
and the most favorable circumstances,
must unite to entice him. Then the
epicure throws himself back In bis
easy chair in reclining attitude. and
first carefully inspects, then lights and
proceeds to smoke his favorite cigar
There is an air of trepidation about our
epicurean smoker while he gently
draws the first few whiffs he fingers
his superb ''upman" nervously. re-
notes it from his mouth frequently,
scrutinizes the gradually forming ASH
narrowly. After making this observa-
ton he suffers the smoke to escape slow
~ from his lips. inclines his head slight
~, and closes his eyes, permitting his
face to be bathed in the ascending
wreaths of BlDe, that every sense may
sit in judgment on the quality of the
cigar If the verdict is favorable, the
smokers eyes unclose only to beam
with delight, placid smile overspreads
his face, and from his now parted lips,
the remnant of the experimental Whit
is borne forth on a sigh Of grateful re-
lief and supreme satisfaction.
The man who smokes is at his best,
intellectually and morally, when he
smokes. It is then, if ever, that great
thoughts come to him. It is then, il
ever, that he forms noble resolutions.
Blessed be he, and blessed be the world
ii these great thoughts and noble reso-
buttons do not end in smoke! The
cigar is the chief Of all comforters in
affection. When all other companion
ship jars, the cigar soothes. The silent
communion between the smoker and
his cigar, promotes contentment akin
to that to lovers whose hearts are too
full for utterance. As the lover clasps
his betrothed in his arms and draws an
inspiration of eternal fidelity from her
oonfding eyes, so the smoker fondles
his cigar, and finds blessed oblivion in
the clouds Of ever vanishing, ever re-
newing wreaths of smoke that circle
about his head.
