THE RABBIT PEST.
Enormous Sums of Money Expended to
Abate 1t.

Enormous Sums of Money Expended to
Abate 1t.
1t is probable that but few persons in
this country fully realize the extent of
the rabbit pest of Australia. The cost
of determination is collected in the form
of a tax or assessment, and in the years
from 1888 to 1889 nearly $5, 600, 900 were
collected and paid out for that purpose
The money is raised by taxing cattle
and other animals which depend upon
grass for a living. The professional
rabbit-catchers receive pay for the num-
Der OF skins turned in, the price varying
from two to twenty-five cents each, the
highest price being paid in the districts
where the rabbits have been pretty well
exterminated. A peculiar feature of
the situation is the fact that in some
sections more money is paid out for rab-
bits killed than is received for rent of
the land.
Some idea of the eX tent of this plague
will be realized when it is known that
as many as Is, 00O,O 600 skins have been
exported from New South Wales in one
year, and that during period of six
years there were 60, 600, 900 rabbit skins
exported from New Zealand, and the
government agent states that at least
az many more were killed. the skins of
which were not exported. In the year
ending January 1, 1890, no less than
y, ZOO, 900 rabbits were killed by govern
ment employees in New South Wales
alone.
The ratio of increase seems to be
simply enormous, for we are told that
the generators of the countless millions
now in Australia were a pair of wild
brown rabbits turned loose in the early
history of the country. Mr.. H. c. Tay-
lOr, who is in charge of the government
bureau for the determination of rab-
bits, states that the progeny of two
rabbits, at the end of three years, If
left undisturbed, would reach the enor-
nous number of ID, 700, OOO
Some years ago the government Of
New South Wales offered a reward of
R25, 900 pounds for some method or
process Of determination. Fifteen hun
dred plans or schemes were offered
but not one of them was satisfactory

A plodding genius at the east has car
ried out an immense work OF the
prosaic sort, but with a high motive.
He has undertaken to prove the whole
ness of the Bible, and it's claims 70 be
regarded asa perfect book, by one
author, 10y counting up the number of
times that the most prominent words
occur i'm the several divisions of the vol
ume. lie has further deduced the re-
markable facts that these ''times" are
in every case multiples of the squares
or cubes of small numbers. 1t would
not interest the general reader to pub
lish the long table by which he makes
his points clear. but that is unnecessary
to statement % his leading conclu-
sions.
The New Testament consists OF "a
books, and 81 is the cube of 8. These
were written by s persons, and is the
cube of 2. The whole Bible was writ

Typewriters. Ewes.

Almost every typewriter sooner or
later has trouble with her eyes. The
typewriting machine is supposed to save
the eyes, but the effect is quite the con-
trary. The eyes are all the time in
motion while writing, and the rapid
jerking of the eye from one point to an
other on the little keyboard soon tires
the muscles, and makes the eyes and
sometimes the whole head ache. Then
a great many girls have the habit of
turning up the carriage to see what has
been written and leaning back in the
chair while reading it. This, too. is
bad, for the reason that it requires a
rapid adjustment of the eye to the diff
ferent distances, and so tires the whole
organ. The only way to save the ewes
when using typewriting machine is to
acquire such facility that it is not nee
essary to look at the keyboard, and the
eyes will be saved the thousands of
little jerks to and fro which do so much
harm. Louis Globe Democrats.

a SUMMER TRAGEDY.
The Small Boy with the Knife Gets
His Deadly Work.

His Deadly Work.
He was sitting in hammock, a young
man in the pride and beauty of his bud
ding manhood and his new summer suit.
Close, very close, to him was fair
young creature in the freshness and in
nocence of girlhood and tailor-made
gown. He had his arm around her
waist, which was fitting and proper,
for they had been engaged nearly five
minutes.

had said so, too.
"And you really love me, my own
Marguerite?"
'Love you? Oh, Clarence?"
''My Marguerite!'

''You are all mine now"
''And you are mine"

guerite?"
Happy? Oh, Clarence!'
''It seems like a sweet dream to me-

eyes, darling, and you are glad?"
Eyes, Clarence-more than glad"
"What heights of happiness we have
reached, Marguerite. May the memory
of this moment linger -
Now, there was in the family of Mar
guerite one of those destroyers of much
earthly happiness, one of those creatures
that No deprne of civilization can inn
press with a proper sense of decorum-
a small boy. He was Marguerite
brother. Nothing was sacred to this
small boy Not even Marguerites beau.
The small boy had knife. 1t was
whipped out just as Clarence had said,
''The memory of this moment" In the
gloom of the deepening twilight the
knife was whipped out to do its fatal
work. and the memory of the mo-
ment" is still modification of the
