after leaving Broadway and never get
off his property. The homes of Mr.. Field
and of his son and married daughter lie
on the top of a commanding hill about
mile and half above the Hudson and
back of the pretty little village of Dobbs
Ferry.
When you have climbed the long hills
on which stands the noble mansion of the

Field, his son, you come to an abrupt

twists, no up hill and now down, until
it crosses the divide and reaches the val

1t is in this valley, beside pretty but
dangerous pond, that Mr.. Field raises
chickens, sunhowers and malaria, and Of
which of the crops were most successful
this summer it would be hard to say.
But all did we'll, and there was never

Field. The henncry is said to be the

All summer long passers on the Saw

exclanations of wonder and delight,
wondered what all that was for. "That"

moths, the biggest kind that grows-all

NATIVE THROWING THE BOOMERANG.
for those not accustomed to it to throyI
it with any effect, whilst "black fellow
can hurl it with tremendous force round
a tree or a.house and hit the mark he inI
tended.
A friend of mine who travelled e
Australia and spent some time among
the natives, says a writer, told me thai
one day "a black fellow" hourishing h!
boomerang, pointed laughingly to aprett
little green and red parrot that was sitting
on branch some distance away. Thl
weapon was hurled apparently very widt
of the mark; but it went whirling round
and round through the cir, aud catching
poor little Polly in its fight, knocked
her off her perch, and leaving her dead
on the ground came circllng back agai1
almost to the very feet of the thrower.
It is remarkable that so singular
weapon should have been discovered d
invented by people SO savage as: the na
tives of Australia. It is used solely b1
them, for though the ancient Egyptian
had throw-stick, and something slmilaI
is in use among some of the tribes 9
India, the curve of those weapons differ
from that Of the boomerang, nor do "
know that they had the property OF e
turning to the thrower. In ILLUSTRATION
of the difficulty of using the boomerang

Atlantic Tea Co.,
Tea Importers and Coffee RoasterS.

Our new roasting department Is now
completely fitted up with the latest i'm
proved machinery for roasting and
cleaning coffee. Our aim has ever been
to have the best regardless Of cost.
This in measure, explains our success.
Coffee roasting, like other industries, in
the past few years has undergone many
changes, each succeeding one aiming
to correct or overcome some defect of
the past. We feel confident we have
secured the best, and as we roast only
the best grades of Coffees, roast only
for our own stores, use no poisonous
mixtures to glaze and cover defective
grains, we can justly claim our Coffees
far superior to the adulterated mixtures
so generally sold.

Thirty-sixth streets, yesterday morning at
one O'Clock The cause of the lady's death
is not learned. Mr. Bryson left, on Satur-

wife remarked to him before he left:
Never mind, Charley, I'll do something
when you 90 away"
What she meant by this statement is not
known, but she has acted somewhat queer
for good while back. several times as
