Australia is not naturally "a sportsmans'
country In the usual aeceptation Of the term.
for it is not a country of big game. nor does 1t
offer exceptional advantages in the way of ordi-
nary shooting. stalk after turkeys howl
ever, Is by no means sport to be despised, and
there are indications that before many years
there will be fair sprinkling of American quail
If not of grouse and partridge. In the meantime
there is almost infinite variety of the smaller
species of indigenous quadrupeds and of game
and piuMa9e birds. and the lover of bush life
and the naturalist alike appreciate few weeks
of sport in the back country" of New South
Wales or Queensland. The one animal which is
inseparahly Connected with an Engshman's
idea of sport in Australia is the kangaroo. This
thoroughly Australian quadruped affords no
lack OF sport. being either hunted or shot. as
fancy may direct. Resides this there are the
waiahies and waliaroos. the ''din@oes" or wild
dogs and The "bEIlnh;es" or wild horses. not to
mention the nyriaSls Of rabbits. and i'm some
parts the troops of hares. that have found a
c0n@ena home on Australian soil. The de-
StrnCton of any of these animals is a mat
ter not merely Of sport. but Of absolute neces-
sity So great as to cali for special acts of parlia
ment to faCiiit ate their DETERMINATION. Seati-
mental cutlery has been occasionally raised in
the English press arainst the Queensland Mar
suriais act, the object of which is not the pro-
lection but The destruction of the SwariTs of
kangaSoOs and other poucaed animals which i'm
some parts of the colony have threatened TO eat
hundreds of Woodworking coionists ont of house
and home. It has heen proved by statistics in the
Queensland assembly that run which used to-
carry 50os0 sheep had been devastated as TO
afford sGstenanee for barely 1.-THE of that num-
Der. So war to the knife was declared against
these destructive creatures. and they and other
''verrnln' afford good opportunities of sport.
even when game. more properly so called. is
not to he obtained. As I'm instance of the great
abundance andvarety of game and vcrmin in
the vast country of New South Wales. we may
quote the shooting list of Mr. Hawthorne. one
of the best shots in the colony. who has been
striving his utmost to keep down the fauna of
the country which are inimical to the interests
of the squatters. Mr.. HawthorRe's BAG con-
sisted of 5,372 kangarOos. 1.41S wailabies. 257
wal!aroos. 1l8 dingoes. 362 wild cats. bandcoots
and rats, 2I4 eagle hawks. and l67 snakes. The
length of the time over which his campaign
extended is, unfortunately. not stated. Many
moneyed young Eng!ishmen. tired of stalking
and cover-shooting, might do much worse than
take sporting trip to our Australian colonies
and follow Mr.. Hawtll0rne's example. They
would be welcome guests at any station. and by
thinning the kangar0os and rabbits the wal
tables and wild horses. would confer no small
benefit upon distant community

just as wrapped up at the dry goods
and other stores, which had doubtless
caused much vexation to women just
returned from shopping. Some dinner
pals, shovels and mechanics tools were
reminders of the Woodworking men who
could ill-afford their loss. Careless
school children have nearly q shelf
full of books to witness against them,
though there are also novels, scientific
works, and one handsome new Bible.
Lunch-baskets are also left behind.
There are few big black bottles, that
were probably not much more lost than
their owners when they left them be-
hind. Two large baskets are full of
pocket-books. containing various sums
Of money. They are mostly portemon-
naies, as the shopping sex have the ex-
elusive right, apparently to carry pur-
ses in their hands, and consequently to
lose them.
There are several bushels of travelling
bags. which probably were lost by per-
sons passing through the city, and will
never be called for. One day big bass
drum came to the property clerk, and q
few days after the big bass German
owner after it. A cornet was also sent
in, as if to support the drum. One day
. rabbit was left in car, costly tucked
up in q basket. The property clerk
also had the company OF a poodle dog
for while. A woman telegrephed in
great haste one dav, inquiring for a
basket OF jewels she had brought in
from the country. When she had iden-
titled the jewels, she did not reward
the needy man who had been so honest
as to return them, nor did she conde-
scend TO say "thank you," as she swept
down the stairs. The clerk says that
not one in ten parcels has the owners
name on it. If they were marked they
would be more apt to be returned when
found by fellow-passengers, many of
whom do not know of the property
clerks Office. Notices formerly were
posted telling passengers where to look
for lost parcels, but for some reason
they have been removed from the sta
lions.

umbrellas to-day, as it is rainy?" sug-
gested the reporter.

Our cistern is about six feet deep
and the same in breadth. Formerly
the water became so unpleasant that
we were obliged to pump it out and
clean up thrice from the last of March
to November. In order to obviate this
we first resorted to putting half a
bushel of charcoal Jumps in the cistern.
This enabled US to get along with only
two cleanings during the season. We
then added two bushels of pure white
sand to the charcoal, which rendered
the necessity of cleaning still more
seldom. But as the cistern had tight
wooden cover over it, we thought it
might be still better for the water II it
could be well aired. To effect this we
cut hole six inches square in the
cover, inserted wooden ventilator in
to this, on the top of which wire gauze
was fastened, SO as to keep out flies
and all else. The fresh air now enter
ing the waste-pipe passes over the water
of the cistern and out through
this ventilator, and thus keeps up .
good circulation, and prevents its be.
coming foul there. A wire screen is
fastened over the outside end of the
waste-pipe to prevent insects or any
thing else getting into the cistern
through it. The water now is kept
free from any unpleasant smell; still
the cistern ought to be pumped and
cleaned out annually. as substances of
various kinds are carried into it by the
pipes from the eaves-troughs. The roofs
Of buildings will gather these not
withstanding the best OF care. Screens
placed over the tops of the leaders will
obviate this pretty well, however.

Sailors Yarns Of Arctic Life.

Six blue jackets from the United
States man-of-war Alliance, which ar
rived here yesterday from the Arctic
regions, were seen at the foot of West
Twenty-second street by a reporter.
They were all young and bright look
ing fellows laxative and merry.
1--WE had rough time" said one OF
them, /" and have got enough of Arctic
expeditions. Wen never go up there
again unless we're forced to it. 1t was
nothing but fog. hail, rain, and snow all
the time. tell you we were mighty
glad when we reached New York.
Our four months voyage has done us
little good. We had to pay forty dol
lars for our outfits, which are almost
useless to us now, and we never got
more than few hours liberty during
all the time we were up there among
the ice and snow. seen statement
that we cooked eggs in the hot springs
in Iceland. That is not so. We never
had chance to go to the hot springs.
There's not sailor aboard who wants
any more service like we have gone
through without extra pay"
Another sailor said: :" The only real
sport that can remember was when
we sighted a bear on the beach OF
Danes Island. He was a big white
fellow, and must have been very hum
CRY to venture so close to our ship.
Somebody fired and struck the bear,
and he leaped into the water. Then a
whole broadside was poured into it.
The firing was kept up so long that
think some of the mon must have shot
in the same hole two or three times.
Well, finally we brought the carcass on
board. It was full of bullet holes.
The boys say the Captain is going t.
use the skin as Sieve"
An imaginative tar, with poetry in
his soul, spoke in glowing terms Of the
beauty of the icebergs they encountered.
They were all colors-grecn, blue.
purple, red, and pink. The SIN, which
shone all night, made 'em purifier than

noticed an iceburg one day tina

for he ordered out boat and had the
men tow it to the ship. He said ht

Nocturnal RAnble and What Came ofIG
Some genius-we suspect him to belong to
the jovial order of humanity-has said:
"The day to drone and dream, the night to
learn and ramble." We do not propose to
dispute this worthy's view Of the matter, but
present herewith the experience Of Phila-
delphia journalist, Mr.. William II. Cum
nington, 1712 North Twentieth street, one Of
whose nocturnal rambles he thus refers to,
beginning his narration rather peculiarly
however: al am not . rheumatic, and have
been troubled very little with bodily pains.
Last Tuesday morning experienced . very
annoying stiffness Of the neck, which grew
worse As the day wore on. Toward evening
1t became very severe, and / could scarcely
turn my head in any direction. Arriving
home at tea time. It was with difficulty that
/ could eat my meal. My wife wanted to
rub my neck with st. Jacobs Oil, but ! re.
fused, saying thought the affection would
soon pass away. Tea over, against the re-
monstrances of my family, left home ia
ramble toward the new Chestnut-Street
Opera House, about two and a-half milea
from my residence. started in the midst
Of heavy snow storm, and remained At the
theater until the close Of the performance,
although could feel my neck getting worse
and becoming very painful. Leaving the
play the trouble came to reach home. The
storm continued; the car In which was be-
came blocked in nearly every square, cold
current Of air swept through the car, and
did not resch my home until toward two ..

solutely rigid. Then I consented to the use
Of st. Jacobs OIL. which my wife applied

The Things People Leave In Railway
Cars.


A Tribune reporter recently lost q
pocket knife in one of the elevated cars,
and on asking an employee was told that
it might possibly be found in the repos-
itory for lost articles at No. 4 Front
street. On going up two flights Of
stairs into the building designated the
reporter found small room occupied
by the property clerk, and across the
passage way another room in which the
missing articles were stored. OF course
the missing knife was not found. Knives
are proverbially elusive. But the store
room proved that the conductors find q
good many articles and turn them over
to the company. Mr.. Reeves, the clerk.
said that the railway employees were q
very honest class Of men; but he would
hardly say rs much for the passengers,
although he admitted that he some
times received articles found by pas
sengers in the cars. The conductors
forwarded many small articles that they
could easily keep without detection.
As some reward for this the company
aims to return to the employee who
found the article such pocket books or
valuable things as are unclaimed after
long time.
Once in a year the accumulated un-
claimed parcels are sold. In the room
the reporter saw the accumulation Of
about eight months. The most numer-
Gus of articles gone astray were um-
brellas, of which over 1000 were slowed
away, ranging from the mounted silk ia
the broken handled cotton article. Par.
asols and canes were also numerous.
Several shelves were filed with parcels
