A Genuine Boomerang.

Two of the men, accompanied by
two 'gins," went with a few of our
ships company into q field to show US
their exercises with spear, waddy, and
boomerang. The performances were
wonderful. With their ten-foot-long,
fnger-thick switch of spear they
away. The waddy-a heavy, yard
long, inch-thick stick-was also thrown
with precision. The hurting of the
boomerang was as beautiful as amaz-
ing. Thrown at q point near the
ground twenty yards ahead, it grad
ually rises beyond, and curving up
ward 200 feet, scars backward and gen
ernally falls 100 yards behind the
thrower. He can, however, bring it
nearer himself. The boomerang re-
wolves swiftly on its passage through
the air, and has beautiful appearance.
I was never weary of watching this
marvel of savage skill and strength,
and they were delighted with my adj
miration, especially so long as it was
represented in shillings. An amateur
photographer was with us, and they
were all glad to be photographed, their

ure."
They all wore garments of kangaroo
skin, those of the men falling behind
and leaving them in front naked, except
for the loin cloth. The women were
thickly raped from below the shoulder
to the knee. Neither sex had stout
legs, but the feet of the women were
singularly delicate and shapely. The
group presented a pathetic appearance,
and it was painful to observe the
loathing with which the Australian
whites generally regarded them. -AuS-

A BeIled BuzZard.

The belled buzzard, whose flight over
Western counties of Georgia has arous-
ed so much superstitious fear among
ignorant whites and blacks, passed over
q field near TavlorVille, Ca, recently
where four men were blowing. One of
them, o negro, quit work at once and
said the bird was a warning to the peO-
pie of another cyclone, in which hun
dreds of people would be killed. The
story of this celebrated bird is an in
teresting one. Nearly two years ago
it was a pet in the farm yard of farm
er named Freeman, in Paulding county.
One of the children one day attached a
sheep bell to the birds foot, and the
tinkling sound so scared it that it i'm
mediately flew away. The first night
out it alighted on the roof of q negro
cabin in Heard county. One of the in
mates went out to ascertain the cause
of the bell-ringing, and Immediately
the buzzard rose from its perch and
flew away. The night was clear and
cold, and as the inmates rushed out
and beheld the great black object, and
heard the tinkling of the bell hundreds
of feet up in the air, great fear seized
them, and they all took to their knees
under the impression that the end of
the world was approaching. Ever since
the bird has pursued its migrations
through the state, arousing the fears
Of the superstitious, who regarded its
visits as an omen Of evil. The negroes,
and many whites, too, along the track
of the iate storm insist that they heard
the Hateful bell about an hour before
the terrible wrath of win. had come
upon them. In 1917 a buzzard was
similarly belled in Putnam county, and
up until 1850, when its presence was
last reported in Green county, he was
voucheJ Tor as having visited points as

fence that can be built, where lumber
can be had at $15 per NJ and posts at
81 or So per 100, is two boards and two
or three wires, if pigs and colts are to
be pastured. Half the posts should be
g feet long and be driven into the
ground = feet, just far enough apart
tor the boards To reach from post to
post. Nail the boards on firmly with
ten-penny nails. The nails are much
less liable to break or draw out if heat
ed. If beauty is not cared for, nail the
ends on alternate sides of the posts.
Six-inch boards, to stop pigs of thirty
pounds, must be six inches from the
ground and six inches apart. That
makes afence two feet high. The mid
die posts should be four feet long and
driven down to. the top of the upper
board in the center between the long
posts. This is better done after the
boards are on. For cattle, sheep, and
hogs two wires are sufficient, but for
horses and mules three are better.
Commence putting on the wire by
winding it around the first post, and
then one man must stretch the wire
and one drive the staples after the
wire is strung along. Put the wires
alternately on opposite sides of the
posts; then in case the wire becomes
loose it will drop on the next wire be-
low, or on the boards. Otherwise
they will fall to the ground, and stock
will get their legs entangled in them
and receive much damage. In Wis
cOuSin, if drawn too tight, cold wealth
er will contract the wires and break
them. A claw-hammer for a stretcher
is the best and most convenient of any
thing l have found yet. Hook the
claws of the hammer on Il barb, and
with the hammer part pry across the
post beyond where the staple is to be
driven. Where the ground is level the
stretcher can go ahead six or eight
posts. The staples should be driven
so as to bed the wire into the wood, SO
that it may not slip back when the
hammer is taken off. If three wires
are used put them eight inches from
the board and eight inches apart. If
two wires are used, eight and ten inch
es will do very we'll. Such 4 fence
will turn any ordinary stock, and
stand the highest winds. Without the
boards sheep will pull their wool on

An AStoniShed Cat.

Gautier, the French writer, had a
cat which slept on his bed nights, on
the arm of his chair daytimes, followed
him when he walked, and always kept
him company at meals. One day a
friend left his parrot in Gautier's
charge during his absence. The poor
bird sat disconsolate on the top of his
stand, while the cat stared at the
strange sight. Gautier followed her
thought, and read there clearly:
1T must be green chicken
Thereupon she jumped from his
writing table, crouched flat. with head
low, back stretched out at full length,
and eyes fixed immovable on the bird.
Parrot followed all the movements,
raised his feathers, sharpened his bill,
stretched out his claws and evidently
prepared for war. The cat lay still,
but Gautier read again in her eyes:
No doubt, though green, the chicken
must be good to eat"
Suddenly her back was arched, and
with one superb bound she was on the
perch, when the parrot screamed out:
Have You breakfast, Jack?
Pussy was almost frightened out of
her wits. She cast an anxious glance
at her master, leaped down and hid
under the bed, from which no threat or
caress could bring her out for the day.

Hair In a Walnut Tree.

While two farmers living in the Petit
Jean Valley, near the Rocky crossing,
were chopping down large walnut
tree one day last week. they came
across, five or six inches from the outer
rim of the walnut, a two inch dog wood
pin, on the other end of which was a
good sized bunch of red hair. They
were at first considerably nonplussed
over their find. One of their neighbors,
however, explained that many years
ago. when Yell county was first set
thing up, there lived in that vicinity a
noted faith doctor, and that one of his
efficient means of cure was to take q
lock of his patients hair, fasten it to
the end of wooden pin, bore hole in
tree, drive the end of the pin with the
hair on it in the hole, thus closing the
hole. 1t is supposed that the fiery lock
found was the relic of one of the doc
tors red-headed patients
