LOVE AT THE WASH-TUB.
OueensIand attIe-Rais-r Wins . Bride
I'm Very Short Order.

A Queensland Cattlo-Kais-r Wins . Brtdo
I'm Very Short Order.
Marriageable young women are in great
demand IN this part of the Queens do
minions, writes correspondent from Rock
hampton, Queensland, Australia The
sexes In this colony are in the proportion of
one hundred and twenty-five males to
eighty-eight females The towns, however,
retain more than their share of the fair sex,
and In the sugar planting districts thereis a
deplorable dcarth of women. Nearly all
the landowners and large planters are
married, but most of the whites in their
employ are bachelors, and, what IL worse,
many of the poor fellows haven't a chance
to change their condition IL they wish to-
The result is that whenever nice white
girl goes into the interior on the plantations
she has to get married IN self protection or
else she is 80 pestered with attentions as
almost to drive her out Of the country.
A remarkable case of sudden and almost
unpremeditated matrImony occurred on a
plantation near Winton few weeks ago.
A planter had been 10 Northampton, and
had here engaged a strapping good-loo&ing
girl TO assist his wife IN her household
duties. After she had been in her new home
several days she took her wash-tu0 out of
doors one morning 70 do the family wash
ing. While hard at WORK, with soSp-suds up
10 her elbows, along came squatter who
kept q small herd OF cattle Ia the neigh
borhood. be didn't intend 10 lose tnis
chance TO make the acquaintance of a
woman. SO he sidled up TO the wash tub
and began to talk, and 1t wasn't long before
she was giving hun more than had her at
tenuon-
After awhile the Young man owned up
that 1t was . case of love Ut first sight as far
as he was concerned and he popped the
question without any ado. The girl SAID
she was willing if her mistress would in
dorse him as worthy young man. That
lady thought 1T would be a good match, and
said SO, and quarter Of an hour later the
brand-new lovers. in their work-day
clothes, were footing il three miles away
10 the house OF magistrate, where the
knot was legally tied IN short order. The
bride finished her washing in the afternoon
and that evening she transferred herself 10
the home of the squatter. which she now
adorns, apparently as happy q woman as
there is IN Queensland.
great many people 90 not like this eli
mate, for we are twenty degrees nearer tho
equator than the residents Of New York
But those who DO not object 70 our super

How TO Keep Eggs.

To the solution of the problem OF
how to keep eggs The experiments OF
such eminent sayants as Musschen.
brock, Reaumur and Nollett have
greatly contributed. They all agree
that the most practical method is 10
envelop the new laid egg in a light
coating Of some impermeable sub.
stance, such as wax, taliow oil or a
mixture Of wax and olive oil or OF
olive oil and tallow. Reaumur sug.
gested an alcoholic solution of rosin
or a thick solution of gelatine. MOI.
lett eXpcrimented successfully with
India rubber, collodion and various

1. Eggs which had been dipped twice
in a solution Of gum arabic and then
dried, enyeloped in paper and kept in

A writer in Wide Awake remarks

able language in print. but easily
managed by the tongue.
In many Welsh families. especially
in remote districts, il is the only Ian.
guage spoken. And when, a few
years since, the decree went out from
London that in the board schools in
Wales only English should b. spoken.
ii fell hard upon the little folk who
knew no other tongue. Try ns hard
as they might TO express themselves
in unfamiliar English. tie familiar
household words would drop from
their lips.
So a plan was hit upon TO make
them cc;se To speak Welsh. Ii a
child spoke a Welsh word a token"
was given him. What shape this Ito
ken took varied according to the
school. 1t might be a fools cap, il
might be a printed slip attached 10
the clothing, or ii might be simply a
stick that was 10 lie on the desk.
Whatever ii was, he kept it until a
Welsh word dropped from the lips OF
a second child, when ii was passed on
10 the latter. And SO on through the
session for the day. Whoever was so
unfortunate rs to hold il when school
closed at night, vas Aogged-poor lii

However, the system, as might have
been expected, did not work; il was
better suited 10 the Dark Ages than 10
modern England. And so il was

Man aud Horse KILLED by a Elr.

Moses Elvich, a junkdealer Of PUNK
sutawney, Pa, had a team of horses
and he thought a great deal of them.
He had been engaged TO haul a load Of
furniture for a man who was moving
from Brookville TO this place. 1t is a
billy road and the horses needed care
full watching. While going down a
steep hill Moses saw a large fly on the
neck Of one Of the horses. II annoy
ed the man as much as il did the
horse, and the little insect caused the
death OF the animal, and also that of
Moses. Elvich, in leaning forward TO
brush away the fly, fell 10 the ground
and broke his neck. The horses took
fright, and, running into the fence,
the on which the fly was sitting
broke its leg and had TO be killed. III.

The carbon, in the Glass Globes.

Let us next turn 10 the glass blow
ing department. where hundreds of
girls arc employed in all the delicate
and skiIlful manipulation involved in
the glaSSworks OF these lamps,
The first step is To take two minute
pieces of platinum wire, one end of
each having been shaped into n little
socket capable of holding the enlarged
end Of the carbon filament; and after
mounting them in n small lathe chuck,
10 wind melted glass from a glass rod,
heated in a glass blowers lamp,
around these platinum wires until
they are for some distance imbcdded
in glass and formed into a structure
such rs is seen at the lower part of the
ordinary incandcscent lamps. lnto
these lamps and platinum supports are
then inserted the large ends OF the car
bon Glumeut.
In the meantime small glass TASKS,
made by the thousands ut the glass
works, are plsSed through a variety Of
manipula,ions by which a small glass
tube is attached TO what would be the
bottom Of each flask, and its neck is
shaped so Us 10 receive the glass sock
ct carrying the platinum wires aud
carbon lilament. At the proper time
this socket is dropped into the prupar.
ed flask, and by manipulation with
the glass blowers lamp and Il slcight
of hand which is simply marvellous,
the glass socket, with its carbon fla.
ment and connecting wires, is scaled,
by fusion Of the glass itself, into the
neck Of the flask. The girl holds in
her left hand the glass flask by the
glass tube which has been attached 10
it, and in her right hand the shears
with which she AT times holds and
shapes the glass socket and neck Of
the flask.
The next thing TO be done with the
lamps is 10 exhaust them. For this
purpose they are attached by the small
glass tubes before mentioned 10 radi
atlng glass councillors, and these in
turn are attached to the pumps, while
AT the same time electric connections
are made So that currents can I've
sent through the lilunenls Of the
lamps willie they are being exhausted

The Home Of the Earthquake.

Although earthquakes are common
in Japan they are seldom violent. As
many as eighty-sevcn vibrations have
been noted in a single day. \ month
seldom passes without shocks in some
part OF the country, but they attract
little attention. There are. however,
authentic records Of several severe and
destructive earthquakes. In GOA. ID.
the island Of Kiu-Siu was visited by q
heavy shock. which rent the earth in
assures, one of which is said 10 have
been four miles long and twenty feet
wide. Kiu-Siu was the scene OF the
recent calamity. and il is noticeable
that the same phenomenon of the
opening Of the earth occurred in this
instance. Kiu-Siu is far less subject
10 frequent shocks than the main isl.
and Of Nippon, but they seem 10
make up for their infrequency by their
severity. In 1902 the walls Of the cas-.
tie OF Yedo were thrown down and a
great tidal wave accompanied the
CONFUSION Of the earth. In 1854 the
