HOSPITABLE AUSTRALIANS
The big Island Is II Parable fsP Well,

The most delightful thing in the life
OF Northern Australia, says a writer
In Harper's Weekly, is its sans-souci
appearance. Existence is literally
out doors and people live rs if bur-

past houses in the early morning and
nave seen the verandas Uttered with
books bric-a-brac, and the doors wide
open. Night after night things are
left so and not stolen.
Stealing is punished in Queensland

Such Is the freedom of the life. l
was a traveller suppose I did not
look like vagabond; they appreciated
the desire on my part not to dirturb
their rest and they apologized for the
hardness of the sofa.
Every planter has not merely one
room in his house which is called the
strangers room, but several. and they
are seldom empty. In the days that I
visited Pride, the planter, six guests
besides myself was there. Imagine u
house through which the warm air
will blow from side to side and from
end to end. with group of buildings
as dormitOries at the left, and another
group as kitchens and stores at the
right and graccd with all the comforts
and with little of the conventional
stiffness OF metropolitan life; which has

and camelias, lines and oranges, lau-
restinus and jasmine, pineapple and
bonganvillia, the glorious pawpaw and

Thousands Of Dollars Worth In Green

The largest amount of jewelry
known to be in a single grave is said
to have been buried several years ago
in Greenwood cemetery. in Brooklyn,
N. Y.
The undertaken who had charge OF
the funeral protested against it. but
was severely snubbed for his interior
ence. The family had its way, and in
that grave are fully 5000 worth OF
diamonds. with which the body was
decked when prepared for burial.
Sometimes families who desire to
bury their dead in the clothing worn
in life-in evening or wedding dresses.
for instance, substitute less costly imi-
tations for the jewelry worn in life.
