journalism. had written three small books
and number of stories for magazines, and
in the summer of 1857 sat down to write
another bit of fiction-a literary fantasy
in which an ideal condition of things was
to be described after the manner, though
nowise in imitation, of Sir Thomas More's
most famous work.
To make his story interesting he must
make it plausible: must play that trick Of
art which makes the ideal seem to be
practical and real And so he did
played it so well that he lured himself
into the trap he had set for others, and
ended by believing his own fairy tale to be
true. In the six months during which he
was engaged in writing this book his en-
tire career was changed. He sat: down a
poet and arose q statesman. He went
into his study to write fanciful yarn and
came out to revolutionize the foremost
government of earth. And now he says:
Literature with me is only means to
practical ends" 1t is generally supposed
that Edward Bellamy is the author Of

to enable them to carry out this cherished
desire
The young girl who goes through the
first year of such a school and is not rem
dered restless, uneasy and untitled for the
practical duties of life which usually lie
before country bred girls, is a model of
good sense or born philosopher.
The very sights and sounds of city life
are distracting and exciting to the girl who
is not accustomed to them; the crunching
of carriage wheels on a gravel driveway,
the fashionabiy attired woman. the gossip

One young girl entered the convent
when mere child. She graduated at Is,
an d was married three months afterward,
but eoped with a stranger whom she met
upon her bridal tour during the honey
moon. The pernicious books which had
been smuggled into the convent were the
cause of her disordered mind and final
disastrous conduct.
We are all familiar with the sad case Of
the boarding school bride who died Of

1t strikes me that too many of our
boarding school mistresses take it for

Many of the excellent women who pre-
side over our boarding schools are as ig-

never cared for anything in life so much
as books. and they do not realize the dan

"Canst thou send the lightnings that they
may go and say unto thee, here we are?-Job
xxxviii :35:
While Job sat in his smoky tent,
About three thousand years ago,
His eyes were on the heavens bent,
While lightnipgs hither. thither went
Where God would have them 60.
But little thought the good man then
They'd ever be the messengers of men.
But, 10, today the sacred flame,
Forgetful OF Gods glory,
Reports a race or baseball game,
Or how some beastly bully camo
To win his laurels CORY.
OR talks about absconders frisky,
or quotes the latest price of gin and whisky.
Or whispering in accents low,
New grace to life 1t lends,
As words OF greeting come and go
With old time tenderness and glow,
As friends commune with friends:
Or gives us news OF shams aud frauds
Tha, would electrify the ancient gods.
In fact the lightnings are sneh slaves
They cannot call their souls their own,
And leagues beneath the clashing waves
Where angry heavens tempest raves,
And navies are o'erthrowp,
Man sends them laden with such lies
That pious Job would no. believe his eyes.
And wild-eyed Ates Oft draw near,
Tipioeiug wastes of waves,
Surprised such horrid things to hear,
Till seized with vague. unseemly fear,
They seek their native caves,
While ocean Peris unbalanced
BY kindred speech are soothed and charmed.

The Government of New South
Wales spends large sum annually in
the payment of royalties on the skins
Of rabbits killed, the aggregate roy
altieS in the last seven years amount
ing to over "a. 600, 600. The fact that
in one year as many as %, $50, 600
skins were thus paid for has given
rise to an inquiry as to what is done
with the skins. An investigation
into the conditions obtaining in New
South Wales shows that although the
rabbit is doing immense harm to
vegetation and fully deserves the i'll
repute into which it has fallen. its
determination would cause the col
lapse Of two most profitable indus
tries, that Of the rabbit killer and
the rabbit skin dealer.
A killer gets cents head royalty
from the Government for killing the
animal, the skin of which he can sell
at from Genus to cents, and for the
meat he can get from 2 to 4 cents
from the canning factories. The
skins are bale-pressed and exported to
London, where, so brisk is the bust
ness, the sales every six weeks aver
age from !, 800 to 1000 bales, each
bale holding about 200 skins. 1t is
not surprising. therefore, that large
number of people in Australia find
rabbit-killing more profitable than
farming.
The skins, which are bought up IN
bulk in London by the hat manufac-
turers, are turned over to operators
who pluck off the pelt by hand, no
suitable machinery for the purpose
having yet been invented. A fine
blue fur is then left on the pelt. The
skin is then pared away from the fur
by machinery so delicate that when
the last particle is cut off the fur
sometimes hangs in one f1imy section.
This is worked up into felt The
English rabbit supplies the best fur,
then comes the New Zealand rabbit
and then the Australian.
At one time large quantities of
hats were exported from England to
America, but now the Americans can
dress skins as we'll as the English,
and they make all their own hats,
importing the fur from England. 1t
is hard to understand why American
hat makers do not import their skins
direct from Australia, as they turn
out probably not less than So. 600 hats

stereOtyped Phrases.

1t was a noticeable fact with me in
the Police Court, and I have noticed
10 in the higher courts, that some at
tOrneys become SO accustomed to using
certain expressions that they repeat
them in almost every case they try.
Perhaps it is so with persons in oTher
professions and business. There were
several attorneys who used those
stereotyed expressions. For instance,
one Attorney will not mention his
name-nearly always said there was
not ''skintilha" of evidence against
his client. 1t is presumed he meant
"sciutilla."
Another nearly always included in
his speech, From the pine-clad hills
of Maine to the golden sands Of the
Pacific"
Another used the expression. ga
niger in the wood-pile." Once when
he failed to do so 1 reminded him of
it. and turning again to the jury he
said: Eyes, gentlemen, there is a
niger in the woodpile.'
Still another used the expression.
