AUSTRALIAN ANIMALs.--Sydney Smith
long ago described, in his most jocular vein,
the frolics which nature permits herself to
play in Australia. Having made cherries and
peaches with stones outside, she proceeds ''to
RIG out monstrous animal, as tall as grena-
der, with the head of rabbit, and tail as
big as bed-post, which hops alongat the rate
of five hops to mile, with three or four young
kangaroos looking out of its false uterus to see
what is passing. Next comes a quadruped as
large as a cat, with the skin of mole and the
bill and web-feet Of duck, puzzling natural
lists and making life miserable to them from
their utter inability to determine whether it
is bird or beast. Add to these parrot with
the legs of sea-gul, skate with the head of
shark, and bird of such monstrous dimen-
sions that three carniverous Englislmen could
dine upon one of it's side-bones, and the witty
Canon's list of Australian fauna is completed:
The kangaroo is, perhaps, the greatest pest
Australian farmers have to contend against.
ssHundreds of miles of good pasture, states
correspondent of contemporary, "haye been
eaten as bare as a bone by the unproductlve
consumption of these useless brutes." 1t is
said to be impossible to describe the marvellous
rapidity of their increase.

CARE OF THE EYE.-At the recent sanitary
convention at Ann Arbor, Michigan, DR.. }.
C. Lundy, of Detroit, read a paper on ''Hygi-
enc in Relation to the Eye" in which he laid
down the following rules fer the better care OF
the eyes:
l. Avoid reading and study by poor light
g. Light should come from the side, and not
from the back or front.
g. Do not read or study while suffering great
bodily fatigue or during recovery from illness.
a. DO not read while lying down.
s. Do not use the eyes too long at time for
near work, but give them occasional periods
of rest.
6. Reading and study should be done sys-,
tematically.
7. During study avoid the STOPPING position,
or whatever tends to produce congestion OF the
head and face.
8. Select well printed books.
g.. Correct errors of refraction with proper
glasses. ,.,. -
10. Avoid bad hygenic conditions and the
use of alcohol and tobacco.
II. Take sufficient exercise in the open air.
r. Let the physical keep pace with the men
tai culture, for asthenopia is most usually ob-
served in those who are lacking in physical de-
yelopment.

THE BARGAIN.

There are some people whom nothing pleases
so much as bargain. To secure something
for less than it's worth seems to them to make
life worth living and in order to compass TINS
end they will waste more time and thought
that would achieve something greater, and
perhaps, after all, buy something they do not
want, simply because it is bargain. Such
people will crowd into free lecture room,
when the smallest entrance fee would deter
them, not so much because they dislike to part
with their money, but because the love OF a
bargain is inherent in their natures, and free
lecture, though it be as dry as chips, is more
or less of bargain, comparatively speaking.
On one occasion certain firm advertised
quantity of sheeting, damaged by water only,
to be sold Oh certain day, and the rush Tor
that sheeting was something unheard of in the
annals of sheeting. But the bargain lovers
had the tables turned upon them this time. 1t
takes two to make bargain. The willy firm,
instead of marking it down, as the buyers had
taken for granted, had marked it up cent or
two on the yard but as they were none the
wiser, they are probably still hugging their
bargain, and looking out for more damaged
sales. In fact a bargain is often found TO be
deluson and snare. If you have not PAID a
fair price, you may be assured that the article
is not what it pretends to be, whether houses

eff there are cinders in the coal, it is because
there were cinders in the pay" Some of US
will spend half day at a time in search OF
this scarce thing-a bargain, which is as hard
to find as the philosophers stone, and as illu-
sive as the old recipes for making gold. we
are not content with getting our moneys
worth, but we want something thrown in
and the shopman understands our case when
he invents pleasant ictions, making us believe
that he is losing by the sale-a bait which we
are always ready to swallow in our hunger af-
ter our pet bargain. We do not believe this is
national characteristic, but one which we
share with human nature. Yet the tempera-
ment of the American people is so persistent
" hopeful that we see bargain where Scotch
man, for instance, would only detect a fraud.
On the other hand, we sometimes meet those
who avoid bargain as they would bear, and
are sensitive enough to believe that it is only
a polite name for taking advantage of anoth-
era sort of legalized swindling-and despise
the neighb0r who buys her friends India
shawl at half price after her husbands failure.
At the same time, in most cases, each party
thinks that the bargain is his own.
