A fine old Elizabethan house Of great
historic interest is IN the market, says
the London Pail Mall Budget 1t was
offered for sale by Messrs- Lunley the
other day, but no sufficient offer being
forthcoming the property was bought
in The house in question was the resi-
dence in Ireland of Sir Walter Raleigh.
1t was built by the great navigator In
1883, upon part OF large allotment Of
land granted to him for services in put
ting down the Desmond revolt The
house is situated in Youghal, in the
county of Cork
1t is impossible to tell how long the
restless adventurer settled in this quiet
retreat He was mayor of Youghal for
two years, and he was certainly visited
by his friend Spenser in this his Irish

Difference Between Boas and Pythons.
The. difference in structure between
boas and pythons is a minute one, de-
pending on the absence of teeth in the
very front of the mouth in the latter
group. Pythons may also attain
length of thirty feet. and such will swal
low a half grown sheep quite easily.
They are fierce animals, save, of course,
when in a torpid condition after food,
but they are never spontaneously aggres-
sive as regards man.-Quarterly Review.

The next day gardener living next door
to the Rain Hill house, where the murder
occurred. heard the children scream.
Neither the woman nor the children were

1t is believed that Williams as he called
himself afterward, killed his family to get
them out Of the way so he could marry
Miss Mather. lie did marry the girl in ques-
ton and took her to Melbourne, where he
killed her in order to marry another girl.
1t was ascertained that the murderer,
Frederick Deeming, is member of good

How the Australian Bushmen Make o
Boomerang.

st. Nicholas.
Three years ago | lived close to an
aboriginal camp in New South Wales.
This camp was only about 200 yards
from our settlement, and it was my
daily custom to walk over to the
moorong, as they call it, and study the
habits of the blackfellows, as the
original natives Of Australia are called.
was naturally more interested in the
boomerang than in any other of their
weapons, and with little practice soon
learned to throw it. In the language of
this tribe, the Wong-ei-bong, which is
situated in the Began river region, the
boomerang is called womera. shall,
therefore, call it a womera. The womera
is made from what is technically known
as an "elbow' from the kurrawung
tree, and sometimes from the yarran
and myall trees. All of these trees be-
