GETTING EVEN WITH JOHN.

This is how some of the thrifty
housewives in Australia makes one
shilling go as far two. A lady
there ran up a small account with
her Chinese gardener for vegetables.
Noticing him one day scribbling
Chinese characters on the door-post,
she determined to find out what
John had written. Later on in the
day another Chinaman, a hawker of
curios, called. She asked him to
tell her what the figures on the
door-post represented. "Four sml-
lings and sixpence," explained the
Chinaman, which was the amount of
the gardeners score. "Now, John, I"
said the good lady, "if you make
that one shilling and sixpcnce | will
spend three shillings with you"
John, like Barlis, was willing, al
tered the figures, transacted bust
ness to the amount agreed, and
went away rejoicing Exchange.

THE FUTURE OF AUSTRALIA,

1t is as certain as anything in hui
man affairs can be that by the end
of this century the Australian popu-
lation will amount to at least ten
million. In twenty years it will
probably be greater than that of the
mother country. In fifty years, ac-
cording to official computation, Aus
tralia will be inhabited by 50,000,-
600 souls. Now the capacity of the
Continent for supporting teeming
population is beyond all question.
The United States have popula-
ton of 60, 100000 on an area of 81
100000 square miles, which is just
the area of the Australian Continent,
exclusive of Tasmania and New
Zealand.
The climate is perfect. More
rain falls in Australia than
in England, and the irregu-
larity of the rainfall is being
redressed by storage and irrigation,
while subterranean rivers have been
discovered in parts of the country
which were thought doomed to per-
manent sterility. The soil is fertile
and suitable for the cultivation of
almost every crop. The mineral
resources are inexhaustible, and
special attention should be directed
to the vast deposits of coal which
have been discovered. Here, then,
we have all the conditions necessary
for growth so prodigious as
scarcely TO be conceived. America,
when the War of independence was
declared, had population some
what less than Australia has now
and had settled a somewhat smaller
area of her territory.
Looking at the development of
America since then, at the great
means of development we now pos
sess in the various applications of
steam and electricity, at the increas-
ed activity of human thought, at
the far vaster scale on which indus
trial processes and commercial tran
sactions are now carried on, at the
progress of education and the
spread of culture-nay, rather, what
may we dare imagine-as the future
of the still infant nation, whose
hundredth birthday marks, after all,
but one short stage of its life jour
