Some ten years ago kangaroos were
one of the pests of Australia. The Aus.
tralians were at their wits end to de.
wise ways of getting rid of them. They
hunted and shot kangaroos, but two
seemed to spring up where one was
killed. Some bright genius, as an ex.
pertinent, sent small consignment OF
skins to this country. They were
tanned, and found ready market.
More were called for. Kangaroo-slxin

price of the skins in Australia has gone

The drying of the macaroni is the
most difficult and delicate part of the
manufacture, and depends much on the
state OF the atmosphere. 1t is first dried
in the open air, whether in the sun or
shade, depending on the temperature
and dryness of the atmosphere, perhaps
from half an hour to three hours. The
time also depends somewhat on the size
of the macaroni. II is then carried tc
close, damp room to rest, where il re.
mains, perhaps, twenty-four hours. II
the room is not sufficiently damp, it must
be kept 50 by artificial means-by
small steam jets or by the evaporation
of water. 1t is sometimes covered with
cloths during this stage to prevent toe
rapid drying. This rest is a retarding
process, and is intended to prevent the
surface of the macaroni from drying
too fast, or as fast as it naturally would.
and to allow the interior to harden. II
the macaroni is not put to rest at this
stage, it is liable to crumble or split.
When properly rested, The succeeding
stages of drying proceed without diff.

and right al the curve was the crossing
of a trunk line of railroad, while up
the valley could be seen a train COM

crossing.
When the maniac saw this he sent
forth another yell of laughter and ex-
claimed: Heaven aid me! Now for the
supreme test Five notches will lift
these cars bodily into the air and we

lucky that | prepared the motor to take

His shrin scream attracted the atten-
ton of those in the cars to the certain
death at the railroad crossing, and in
rushing back to the trailer or the next

How Not to Find Fault.

One who was guest at dinner party
given by DR.. Whewell, the famous mas.
ter of Trinity college, Cambridge, re.
lates the following: The master was
finding fault, in the presence of the as.
sembled company, with an old favoritc
servant who was waiting at table, for
some act of omission, when the man
quietly interposed with the inquiry:
Had we not better talk of this, sir,
when you and are alone?" This made
DIR. Whewell look very foolish, and he
Afterward said that he felt at once that
he was wrong and the servant right.
This is an illustration of one of the
ways in which we should not find fault.
There are times when most people are
in duty bound to find fault; but their
fault-finding has either no effect at all,
or one the opposite of that which they
intended. so badly is it done. To find
fault well is fine art, requiring a con-
siderable amount of tact, Judgment
and, above all, sympathy.-Detroit Free

ves,ibued limited train, with its electric
lights, electric reading lamps and elegant
sleeping and dining car service, is not sur

SINGING BY THE WAY.

He sang as the blithe-hearted robin
Sings in a SUMMER day,
Cnmindful that any listened
To the music OF his lay.
Fhe JOY or life and OF living
Seemed voiced in the simple strain
That filed the air with such sweetness
AS the fields have after rain.
His weary and toilworn neighbor
Heard, and wac glad TO hear,
For into his life OF labor
Ii threw a thrill of cheer
II lifted his thoughts from sadness,
II charmed away his care,
And the music and its gladness
Brought a blessing, unaware.
We may all be singers, my brothers,
OF songs TO help and cheer.
The strain may not be lofty.
There may be few 10 hear,
But into some life the music
OF the song We sing may fail,
Brave with its faith in the goodness
OF the God who is over all.
let the JOY Of our lives run over
Our lips in cheerful song,
And the world may have more OF sunshine
And the faint Of heart grow strong
Sing, for the JOY Of singing,
And sing your cares away,
And share with others the gladness
That comes 20 you, day by day.

If the man who makes two blades Of

that fact by reading this article. Buty-

Filial piety finds no place in the

to leave him to perish in the cold. The
superstition that the souls of the dead
can, if they will, haunt the living,
drives their hardened natures TO gain
by the exercise of cruelty the promise
of the dying that they will not return
to earth. As death approaches the
dying person is asked: win you come
