Something About New South Wales.

Now a little about the colony Of New
South Wales. This is the oldest and
richest of all the colonies and the parent
of them all. In 1924 Tasmania, then
known as Van Diemen's Land, was sep
arated from New South Wales and be-
came an independent colony. Four years
afterward the colony of Western Austria
liza was founded, 1886 South Australia
was founded, 1910 New Zealand became
Independent, 1851 Victoria was separated,
and the last founded was Queensland In
1859. The northern territory belongs to
South Australia, with Port Darwin as its
capital. New South Wales lies between
% and 81 dogs. Of south lat. and al and
1853 meridian east long. II has SEQ miles
of seacoast, with q number of good har-
bors. Its general shape is trapezoid, con-
tanning 3l0,93S miles, four times as large
as Great Britain or Victoria, or twice as
large as California. AS regards the dis
lance from the equator it can be COM
pared TO Cape Colony, Chile and the
lower basin Of the La Plata in the South
ern Hemisphere, and with Texas, Louisi-
ana. Mississippi, the south of Spain, Italy
and Greece, which occupy similar posi-
tons north Of the line.-Cor. San Fran

WORKING TO ADVANTAGE.
Labor Can BE Lightened by Mixing II
With Brains.

Labor Can BE Lightened by Mixing IL
With Brains.
Every man can not do the higher
grades of mental labor. and the hard
mental tasks of the world must be per-
formed by somebody.
Men and women whose lot has been
cast among the hard manual laborers Of
the world should remember that their
tasks can be UNNECESSARILY lghtened by
mixing them with thought. Study out
new and easier methods of performing
the old tasks. Plan, contrive and ex-
pertinent. Thought applied to labor
makes your work an art. 1t leads, too,
to more expeditions methods.
Forty years ago, every farmer raked
his hay with small mandrake. poking
it together much as he drew up the soil
with hoe around hill of pototoes.
Some one, who mixed brains with his
work, got theory in his head that the
hay could be gathered together easier
with large rake dragged behind the
worker on the ground. Hence bigger
rake was suggested, which performed
the work nearly four times as fast as the
OH metUOu. 1t OlO tne WOrk SO easily
that the rake was called '.loafer.'
Soon it was suggested to somebody.
who mixed brains with his work and
made an art of labor, that if a man could
drag big rake to advantage. horse
could drag bigger one. In this way
the first horse rake was evolved. A
man walked behind and managed the
rake. and boy rode and guided the
horse.
But there was still further opportuni-
ty for the man who mixed brains with
his work to tighten his task. and conse-
quently make his work still more pleas
ant. Why not dispense with the boy.
he reasoned, and why should have this
laborious trouble of walking around be-
hind the horse and turning over the
rake? will put this thing on wheels,
fasten a seat astride the wheels, and
ride about my field and take my ease,
and, at the same time, rake my hay.
1t was in this way that the modern
horse-rake was evolved. In the same
manner ii great inventions have been
brought about by men who mix brains
with their work.-Iankee Blade.

Never put dish containing any
thing hot in the refrigerator. for not

it becomes cool, and then place on the

DO not try to accomplish more in
one day than can be done with ease and
pleasure. 1t is far better to attempt
only as much work as can be finished in

ous duties, thus reserving a fund of
strength. which must be added to by
adequate rest, for the work Of the COM

and reconstructed it on a much greater
scale, to afford an assembly place for
the knights of the Garter, an order
which he had just established. The
legends had it that it was on the sum-

Arthur was accustomed to meet with his

three feet, his right foreleg having been
broken by the fall over the ledge. Tho
farmers went around to the foot Of tho
rocks and found Hollywood dead and
frightfully mangled. They found his
gun in the willows, broken in two at
the stock. It was supposed that the
bear had rushed upon Hollywood before
he was aware of its proximity, and he
had not been able to fire more than
once before the grizzly knocked the gun
out of his hands and forced him to the
defense that had ended SO disastrously.
'After the tragic ending of that hunt
long time. and it was hoped by all, and
believed by many, that the wounds poor
Hollywood had inflicted on the bear had
been fatal to the grizzly. But the hope
was baseless, for the dreaded bear put
in an appearance in the same locality a
year later, and he had been having
pretty much his own way on Battle
creek, in spite of the big price on his
head, when he was discovered one day q
few weeks ago by trappcr and hunter
named Jim Hendrix in an old stubble
field. enjoying itself hunting field mice,
a seemingly insignificant recreation for
an animal that could carry of .
yearling bull, but q favorite pas
time with grizzlies. Hendrix had
probably sent more lead after and into
Old Clubfoot during all the year the
bear had run things in that region than
any other man along the creek, and he
says that he felt it in his bones that day
that he was going to bag the big beast
there and then. He crept stealthily up
in the bushes until he was within
twenty feet of the club-footed bear with
out the grizzly suspecting his presence.
Hendrix took sure aim and sent bullet
plumb in the great bears right eye.
The grizzly sprang like fash to an
erect position on his hind feet gave a
loud snort Of rage and pain, and fell like
q tree to the ground. and Old Clubfoots
days were numbered
"When tho news Of the killing of the
bear got around. the farmers had days
public rejoicing. The Eve hundred dol
lars was paid to Hendrix. He found
eleven bullets Of different shapes and
sizes in various parts Of the bear when
he dressed 1t, all of them encysted,
showing that they had been carried
about by Old Clubfoot for years The
figures they gave me IS to the weight Of
the bear seemed incredible to me, but
they declared that they were true-22S 800

heard of before this one weighed 1,s00
