The Australian War Dance.

The customs of the ''black fellows'' of
the Australian push lin their wild state
are not uninteresting. Their grand dance
or ~corraberee, performed OF occasions Of
great state, such as a victory over an
enemy, or to appease an angered deity,
for they have crude notions of a Supreme
Being, is a weird and ghostly spectacle. 1t
is always performed at midnight in the
darkest glade. A huge bonfire is built,
and the natives, with their bones outlined
on the surface of their bodies with white
paint, thus giving them the appearance Of
skeletons, leap and jump in a circle about
the fire to the tune of a rude chant.
Faster and faster the dance becomes,
higher and higher the leaps are made, till,
in one grand finale, all fall fiat to the
ground. Should one fall before the end,
he is at once tabooed as possessed of the
evil spirit, and death will be his lot if he
fails to make his escape.-Alta California.

In some provinces in Holland there are
large tracts of heath and moorland, which
at present have no value whatever,
although once covered with dense
forests. An effort is now being made to
utilize these moors, and several land
owners nave combined to form a company,
whose object it will be to attempt a
gradual fertilization of the soil by replant-
ing trees. How much good such an enter
prise can work under careful manage
ment is shown by a similar undertaking
in Denmark, which has been in existence
for the last quarter of a century. The
Danish society for the fertilization of
heaths and moors, chiefly by forestation,
has now some 1000 members, among
whom may be found the principal agri-
culturists of the kingdom. 1t enjoys large
subsidies from the government and from
the agricultural societies, SO that it has
been enabled to start some 400 'conces-
sions" or plantations in different parts of
Denmark. In the Netherlands it is pro-
posed to work the scheme Upon similar
es.-Boston Transcript.

Lnnd Good for Oranges.

A gentle jew in the southern country

carted them out to this land and buried
them in different parts of the ground

digging.

FACE TO FACE.

II my face could only promise that its color
would remain,
II my heart were only certain 1t would hide the
moments pain,
l would meet you and would greet you in the old
familiar tone
And naught should ever show you the wrong that
you have done.
If my trembling hand were steady, If my smiles
had not all fed,
II my eyes spoke not so plainly of the tears they
often Ehed,
l would meet you and would greet you at the old
sweet trysting place,
And perchance you'd deem me happy If you met
me face to face.
If the melody of spring tide invoke no wild re-
frain,
II the autumn's golden burden awoke no living
pain,
1 would meet thee, and would greet thee, rs years
ago we met,
Before our hearts were shipwrecked, on the ocean
of regret.
If my woman's soul were stronger, if my heart
were not so true,
y should long have ceased remembering the love
had for you;
But 1 dare net meet or greet thee, in the old
familiar way,
Until we meet in heaven, when tears have passed

Central American Coast Cratic.

Most of the coastwise traffic, the carry
ing of goods of American or European
production, to the various trading posts
along the shore, and the bringing back
fruits, rubber, sarsaparilla, palm nuts,
skins, and such other products as the In
dams gather in the forests lying eastward
from Trujillo, is done by the aid of dorics.
These are no more than canoes, followed
and hewn from Spanish cedar, mahogany
or other trees. Some of them are of good
size, six or seven feet beam, forty or fifty
feet over all and four or five feet deep. OF
course they are buoyant, and under the
management of the Caribs make good
weather of it even in rather rough water.
But on ia wind they slide as fast to lee
ward rs they forge ahead. l am not sure
that they do not, as a matter of fact, go
two miles to leeward for every one they
go ahead, with a head wind. OF course
they are practically useless, except when
the wind is fair.-E. w. Perry's Hon
duras Letter in Chicago Times.

The most disappointed looking man to
be met with in a days journey on the ele-
waited roads is the iirtatious whipper
snapper who discovers that he has per-
mitted a pretty girl to stand, and who
only makes the discovery after some other
man has given her n sea The scorn with
which she receives any attempts on his
part to attract her attention adds a double
barb to his fond regrets for what might
have been had he had his eyes open in
time. But It always does take puppies 4
long time to get their eyes open.-New
York Press "Eyery Day Talk.n

Possibly the most unique method Of
earning a living known is that adopted
by n big, rosy, 20-year-old blonde, who
find engagements with women just Ia
menting their first gray hairs. to weed
out, so to speak, those obnoxious remind
ers of advancing years. The gray hair
puller is gentle in her methods of treat
ment, and makes periodic visits ut inter
walls of a few weeks, spending from half
an hour to two or three hours, letting
down the hair, combing it out and spying
for tell tale silver threads. She carries
an innocent looking little reticule, which
contains various glycerine and rose water
preparations for n healing application
when the work of torture has been done.
1t is not especially disagreeable work, and
it is said to pay.-Kansas City Journal.

The word funny is sadly overworked.
Just listen to the innumerable multitude
of men and women who use it on all pos
sible occasions. Relate to them the last
minstrel joke, the particulars of a great
flood in China or some pathetic story of
restitution and death, and their only re-
mark is: "Well, isn't that funny?n The
other day a gentleman walking down
Broadway caught up with an acquaint-
ance, to whom he related the tragic death
of n mother and daughter in two different
railroad accidents OH the same day and ut
nearly the same hour. And all the reply
that the human parrot could make was:
''You don't say; wasn't hat funnyi''-
