HOLIDAYS IN AUSTRALIA.
The People of~That7gSr or Land Take
Tlaiors Easily.

Things Easily.
The easy going methods Of business life
! in Australia, Thiah is one of tho things
that most fetcihy impress the American
| visitor, is in no way better illustrated than
| in the great npmber of holidays with
which the cofoRists indulge themselves.
! How many dies non there are In the Aus
tralian commercial oslandar cannot at
the momenS say through, wano Of ready
refersnoe, but my suppression is that they
average one q week the yeRF zoand. This
is certainly not an extTavagaat estimate
| if we consider not only the days appointed
for public festivity. but also these that are
set aside by various guilds and trades.
The butchers, the bakers and the candle
| stick makers, this mAnufaetOry and that
wholesale warehouse, all have at least one
day of special jueilSeion Ia addition to
those legally set eside by liberal and pa
ternal government. II we count the days
that are in part or wholly wasted Ia prepe-
ration for these celebrations and in recov-
cry therefrom the total Wo Id be some

One gets used to this soyt Of thing in Aus
tralia,
Beside these occasional and fugitive holi-
days in which certain classified bodies of
individuals participate there occur at least
twice in the year continued series of fes-
tivities, which consume a week or two
eaoh-at Christmas and Easter. At Christ
mas the Melbourne stock exchange ad-
journs for a fortnight; many large
manufactures entirely suspend opera
tions for ten days; the banks are closed
and the postoftice is only open at brief
and uncertain hours for week; every
pOuy VINO can save, peg OF porFoW, or
otherwise gain possession Of sufficient
money for the purpose goes into the
country, or to the races, which, like the
poor, are always with us of Australia, and
Melbourne is an aspect of-desertion like a
city stricken with the plague. The Easter
season brings similar phenomena TO light.
Closing on Thursday night, no bank,
warehouse or Office opened until the We'd
nesday following. Every train YVES packed
to suffocation either with people going
from Melbourne into the country or com
ing from the country into Melbourne, all
seeking change and flying as rapidly as
might be to scenes that were unfamiliar in
that pursuit.-Melbourne Letter in Boston

RE-oPENlNG ATHORoUGHFARE.

In order to guard against results utterly
subservIse to health. it Is absolutely essen
tial that the grand thoroughfare or avenue
of the system, the bowels, should be re-
opened as speedily as possible when they
become Obstructed. Ii they are not, the
bile is misdirected into the blood: the liver
becomes torpid; viscid bilious matter gets
into the stomach and produces indiges-
tiOn; headaches enSue, and other Symp-
toms are produced which a prolongation
of the exciting cause only tends 10 agra

Senators Stewart and Blair are two
statesmen who have changed to a striking
degree during the last fifteen or twenty
years. Senator Blair once had crazy,
unkempt appearance. His eyes were what
are known as "gimlets" Or ''twisters,' ~ and
when he eazed intently ut you the thought
which weighed most heavily upon you was
that you were going TO have couple Of
holes bored right through your body.
The senator's eyes still retain this quality,
though not so strikingly. Whereas the7
formerly threatened to bore Ruger holes
you now feel only girnlet holes Notwith-
standing his appearance and his fsds, Sen
ator Blair is wag. No man in the senate

than he.

the moment"
Then as the truth dawned upon him he
smiled a sad sort of smile, as if conteInpla-
ton Of his young manhood, gone forever,
was not csnGsntal TO him in his old age.
Senators Evarts, Sherman and Edmunds

pearance. Secretary Blaine has whitened

Don't Fear to Drink Cold Water

That cold water-at any time our most
natural beverace-should become danger
Gus at the very time when the system ia
most urgently in need of refrigeration
seems a physiological paradox, and my
skepticism in that respect was strongly
confirmed by long sojegrn in Algiers and
Spanish America On the hottest afternoon
of tropical summer have seen Mexican
soldierz>kneel down 2tthe brink Of rivu-
let, cooled by the SHOWS of the high Sierras,
and quench their thirst without stint, just
as our nature guided fellow creatures
would obey the promptings of an unmis-
taxable. nay, almost irresistible, instinct
The mere idea of dreading the conse-
quences of enjoying that most natural of
all luxuTies would seem wholly incompre-
hensible to several hundred millions of our
fellow men, and we might, indeed, as well
warn them not to run the risk of indulging
first class appetite by eating or not TO yield
to the appeals of a work exhausted body by
falling asleep. Experience would certainly
never illustrate the wisdom Of such warn
ings, and the real secret of the strange de-
lusion is either the medieval monk doc

eyes, Meestaire Morton" was the old
ladys reply, in tones of triumph.
1t is not at all surprising that the vice
presidents brother senators did not know
his portrait of fifteen years ego. Then Mr..
Morton had great deal of loose, slightly
gray hair on his head, though he was bald
in front. BE had flowing side whiskers
and large mustache which covered his
mouth. Now, as alI the world knows, he
has a smooth face and a head completely
thatched with hair of thick growth and a
dull, almost unnatural color. II is no
secret to the world that Mr.. Morton wears
a wig, though it is probably the most artis-
tic Wig to be seen in this country. Evil
dence of this is to be found in the fact that
Mr.. Morton's private secretary had worked
by his side daily for three months before
he knew that the bair on tbs vice presi-
Dental head was not the vice presidents
own native crop.
M Morton has right TO wear q wig II
any man has, and Why some Of the bald
