roughly speaking, is according to Mr..
w. y. Temperley, the total wealth of
Australia invested in those bIeatinS
foclls which were the standard and
outward token of riches in the pastoral
communities of the ancient world. In
his paper read before the Tyneside Geo
graphical society Mr.. Temperley gave
4 curious picture of the operation of
sheep slIcaring ut model Australian
sheep station of $50, eco acres. For svs-
teln and economy it appears to be far
ahead Of anything known in this part
Of the world. Such q holding should

A writer on Afridi feuds in The Cal
cutta Englishuaa nlrrates the follow
ing incident, which, he says, is unique
even in the Afridi annals, and shows
that the Laws OF hospitality can be
stretched q bit too far at times without
much advantage to the host: "a
certain Faiz Taleb Khan had made en-
enies of certain chieftains who pssnned
his murder A man named Muhnnad
Var, NaSiri GhiIzai, who had murder
ed some nineteen or twenty persons by
treachery, was found willing to under
take the business, If he was paid the
sum of l, 100 rupees, and was presented
with a shawl likewise. This being
agreed to, he left the Jelallabad valley
and started for the Khyber. y friend
of Faiz Talab Khan, being informed of
the plot, wrote to him and gave all de-
tails rs to the appearance of the man
who had consented to murder him for
a consideration.
Strange to state Muhamad Var ap-
peared at Faiz Talab Khan's gate and
claimed shelter and hospitality just as
the letter arrived warning Faiz Talab
against the assassin. The letter was
carefully read, and the descriptive roll
conned, compared and found to suit
the man who had just claimed shelter
Faiz Talab's retainers were for killing
the man at once, or at all events turn
ing him away for good; but their mas
ter would not hear of it, and after cafe-
fully searching the man to find out
whether he lad any arms concealed
about his person he was allowed to en-
ter the fort, Faiz Talab declaring that
they could not murder their own guest
or turn away from their doors II hungry
man who had solicited their hospitality
The man was most carefully searched
every morning, and was told that he
was never to leave the inclosure or
ascend the platform on the tower, from
which he could get down into the open,
and he was warned that If he was ever
seen there he would be killed at once.
For thirteen days this game went on
without any damage to any ono. How
ever, Il mull;h, who taught Faiz Ia
labs sons, WIS bri6cd, and through
him pistol was conveyed to Muhamad
Var, and Il date fixed for him to make
the attempt on F;iiz Talab Khan. On
the fourteenth night of the strange
guests stay mt his fort Faiz Talab was
reused and heard man moving about
the platform of the tower, and asked
who it was. Muhamad Var said it was
he, and that, being very thirsty, he was
searching for some water. Faiz Talab
Khan got up, and as lie went to the
man and bent down to fill cup OF
wather he was shot in the back by the
treacherous guest, who used the pistol,
and scrambling down the wall was
soon under the shelter of Feroz Khan's
roof, and thence lie soon fled to Jel-
lallaba and ultimately toward Cabul
He was captured, and the news was
sent TO Bostan Khan, brother to Faiz
Talab Khan, who proceeded at once to
Cabul. The murderer was then handed
over TO Bostan Khan, who took him
outside the city and cut him into
pieces.

Lofty Jumping.

The widow of Gen. Custer says that
he was the first of American army OH
GERS to experiment on the rattlesnal1e
as an entree. His cook prepared the
dinner under protest, and as the gen
eral was eating the dainty he saw the
alarmed negro cautiously peering in
through crack in the tent, doubtless
expecting to see his master drop down
in tit. OF another mans aversion to
snakes Mrs. Custer says:
Zone of the officers was terribly
afraid of snakes. When he was child
one had wrapped itself about his body,
and so unncrved him that he never re-
gained his courage. Every one laughed
ut him; no one lost an opportunity TO
tease him; but being fearless rider,
hunter and fighter he could afford to
endure the taunts of his comrades.
Among our pets was strange little
owl that had been dug out of hole,
where it and the rattlesnalle and prairie
dog had lived in a kind OF cooperative
housekeeping. 1t made sound almost
exactly like that of the rattlesnake.
Our water bucket had II cover fitted
upon IL as Il protection against the OBJ
trusiveness of the dogs. As there was
no box convenient, the owl was placed
in the empty bucket. One of our favor
lite tricks Yves purposely to occupy every
seat. the bed, chairs, etc, as the officer
who 50 hated snakes was seen approach
ing the tent.
He was welcomed cffus;vely, and the
bucket being the only seat vacant he
of course took it. Then the disturbed
owl began to rattle, and the way in
which the officer bounded into space
allied forth silriells of laughter. He was
one of the athletes of the regiment, but
ne jumped better now than he had ever
been known TO do at any of our Fourth
of July celebrations, when trials of
strength and skill were always in or
