to get in hole filled with very

The Aborigines OF Australia.

The aborigines Of Australia are of 4
distinct race from that inhabiting the
Indian Archipelago, and are black, with
some slight variety of shade from brown
black to Jet. Their kair is curly, but
not the crisp wool of the negro. Their
faces are we'll developed, broad at the
base, their lips less protruding than
those of the negro. Their bodies are
deficient in muscuarity and strength,
but are capable of great endurance. It
is said that they readily adopt European
habits. These natives seldom build huts
or other fixed dwellings,, but use as Q
shelter strip of bark or large bough.
They kindle fires by rubbing two dry
sticks together, while they often eat
their food raw. and their cooking is of
the most primitive sort, consisting of
making hole III the ground, lighting a
fire in it, putting in the dead animal, and
covering it with earth until the fire is
out, when it is sufficiently cooked. In
the wild districts they generally 90 with
only the covering which Adam and Eve
had, minus the tig-leaf, although in the
neighborhood of the settlements they
wear sheepskins or the blankets and
clothing they receive through their in
tercourse with the settlers. They are
expert with the spear, and use club OF
waddy, and the boomerang, peculiar
missile, resembling q double-edged
wooden sword, bent to an elipse: on
being thrown into the air, it strikes the
ground and rebounds toward the thrower.
The different tribes have often been en-
gagged in fellds with each other. The
use of ardent spirits has made great raw
ages among them. They are polyga-
mlsts, and their marriages consist chiefly
IN the groom carrying away the bride,
with or without her consent. The dead
are buried in the exact places where they
died, and those spots are never inhabited
again by the members of the tribe of the
deceased. The names of the dead are
never pronounced, and those bearing the
same names are obliged to change them.
They believe in good aud bad spirit.
In regard TO whites, they believe that
white men are the terminated souls of
the blacks; but whether or not this is
to be taken as advancement or retro
erosion is not clear; at the same time
1t brings TO mind the views of some Of
the Africans, who believe the evil spirits
are all white, while the good ones are Of
their own ebony shade The Australian

creasing i'll number, and it is thought

Undesirable Husbands.

The grumbling husband renders his
wife's existence as obnoxious as possible.
He will begin the day by abusing his
breakfast; and the man who scowls over
his coffee, eggs and the daily paper, may
be pronounced as not likely to improve
in temper as the hours advance. The
influence of grumbling woman is par
ticularly depressing; but that Of u man,
q chronic grumbler, is worse. He will
take a morose pleasure in nursing his
grievances. If you are enthusiastic over
music, painting, poetry, literature, or
any of the arts that remove the cold
prosaism of matter of-fact reality, he
will endeavor to destroy your fervor and
happiness because it is beyond his COM
prehension. All grumbers love their
creature comforts, and woe betide the
woman the grumbling husband has
made his miserable spouse, if the peas
are hard for his Sunday dinner, or the
potatoes waxy when he prefers a houry
vegetable! What antidote can be offered
to resist the effects of these intolerable
croakers? None. 1t is in the very
blood and bones of the animal, irradic-
able as light. The ''gay husband" is,
however, worse specimen of the race,
if possible. His wife, if sensitive, in
yariably dies of systematic neglect; but
Griseldf are not uncommon in this min
teenth century of cynicism and license,
and takes good deal to kill really
tough Griselda; so she viii meet him in
tears on the staircase about three o'clock
and help him to get to bed, if necessary.
He spends all his money on himself and
his doubtful pleasures. His wife grows
prematurely old; she is IN old won an at
forty. Friends and relatives tell her
that she should demonstrate with the
sinner. "You should see my husband"
one of these hard-voiced relations is fond
OF saying. Tin none of your quiet,
submissive women, know my value. L
speak my mind. stand no nonsense"
Griselda, weeping, explains that when
man puts his fingers to his ears and then
bangs the door-"Then bang it louder,
my DEAR" the woman of spirit suggests;
'tand if he takes up chair, you charge
with the table" But is anyone ASST
able who is heartless, vain and cruel?
Such people are safe from any evil under
the sun. Strange destinies which cou-
pie them with gentle natures.

Nnn Dogs.

A parhelion is an attendant image,
more or less distinct, of the suns disk,
which may appear with any halo at one,
two, or more points near the sun, but
which is more frequently formed in the
course OF the horizonal or vertical white
bands, or in both, at or slightly without
ke intersection of these with the ordi-
nary halos. They seldom appear at
once at more than three or four of the
intersection, and sometimes present Q
sort of tail in the direction opposite the
luminary. They are porularly known
as sun dogs or mock suns.

Wolves ON n Railroad.

A Toledo man, formerly of the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad,
left good position with a good salary
on the Northern Pacific, and returned to
Toledo to take the chances Of getting
smashed up on one of the railroads here,
for less money. When pressed for his
reasons for coming back, he rather re.
luctantly told the following tale
:. He said that as soon as he got his train
he started out on his run, and one night
at certain station was side-tracked for
a train that was following him. He
ordered brakeman to go to the rear
and flag the expected train. The brake
man turned pale and refused, but de-
clined to give reason. He tried to in.
duce other train men to go, but all re-
fused. He took a lantern and torpedoes
himself and went back some hundred
PAGES. He soon heard pattering of
feet around him in all directions, and
thought he had got into sheep pen, until
suddenly his ears were assalled with
GLORIOUS of snarles and howls, and he
concluded he must be near q farm house
we'll supplied with dogs, but on raising
his lantern, he saw the snow almost black
with savage forms whoae eyes glared at
him like balls Of fire. For the first time
he realized that he WAS surrounded by
wolves. His hair stood erect and his
tongue cleaved to the roof of his mouth.
He hastily paced the torpcdoes on the
track and began to beat retreat. The
bowling pack c,rcied reund him and he
yelled to the engineer to back the train
down to him, but his voice was drowned
amid the demoniac bowling of the gaunt
savages which were swapping at his coat
tails. He kept them off with his Ian
tern, whirling round like Dervish, till
he reached the train. In few minutes
he heard the tolpedoes explode and the
bowls grew more furious. He said the
whole prairie seemed alive with the
brutes He conceived brilliant idea.
He began to toss torpedoes to them, and
could hear them explode, and by the
sounds judged they were doing good
execution. He said he threw out about
1000 torpedues, when he got orders to
run to the next station. When No. 5,
the train following, got to the station he
had left, she was thrown off the track by
an obstruction. When daylight had ar
rived about coo dead wolves were found
in the cut, all frozen stiff, and it was
this that throwed No. 5 from the track.

I'd have to get him to excuse me.

But when the fifteenth round I'd run,

Then, oddly, when I'd reached that age,

But when my thirtieih year was told,

A Peculiar view of the Question.

It is refr, SLING to hear of genuine
convers on, i. 1t he from darkness to
light, especially when it is speedy and
complete. A few years ago a friend Of
mine was taking q country walk with q
friend, a clergyman, when the latter
suddenly wheeled round his face toward
home, w.tA tie remark: "Let us go
back. I'm tired; WAS called up in the
middle Of the night to baptize a child
that was dying"
"Were yon in time?" asked my friend.
"Just," was the reply; another half
minute and should have been too late"
"And ii you had been, what then ?"
"Why, then, | suppose the poor little
thing would have been lost"
"Eternaliy?'
"Well, yes, according to our belief"
"May | ask what sort of boots you
wear?" said my friend.
Boots? Eiastic-side, always"
"Now, suppose you wore laced. and
they had taken two minutes to put on,
the child would have been dead, and
lost etcrnally, ay?"
THAT'S a peculiar view of the ques-
ton: and Unjust think over my position. I"
Two da,s ter the Clergyman met my
friend and Saij: - have thought that
matter over and must alter my view.
The boots did 1t. "-LanSion Spectator.
