, BOTHERED BY KANGAROOS.

Australian Squattcrs Gradually EStermi-
 hating the Hungry, Long-Leaping Pest.
 The kangaroo plague has always been great nuisance to the Australian squatters, for on an average these animals consume as much grass as a sheep, It is stated by Science Gossip that on sheep run of sixty thousand to eighty thousand acres ten thousand kangaroos were killed annually for six consecutive years and yet their num- Der remained very formidable in the locality. In the colony of South Aus tralia hundreds of thousands of kanga- roos are slaughtered annually for their skins and the bonus offered by the au- thorities The number of these marsu- pials in New South Wales in 1889 was es- timated to be over four million, and yet about five hundred thousand lIangaroos and six hundred and fifty thousand wallables were destroyed in the col ony in that year. A bonus of sixteen cents for each kangaroo killed is of fered in Australia, hence the colonists are gradually exterminating these na-

tive animals. Over half million skins are annually shipped to England and large number to North America to be converted into leather. The macropide include several kinds of kangaroos and wallables. The progress of settlem in Australia has driven these animals from the more densely populated parts of the Australian con tinent, but in the country and unset tied districts they are still numerous enough to cause very considerable damage to the natural grasses. So serious has been the injury thus wrought that the colonial governments and runholders pay small sum per head for the destruction of the kan paroOs.

 A new sort of Cinderella competition, says the London Post, has been started by French paper in search of sensa- tion. A shoe nineteen and one-half centimeters Seven and four-fifths inches) long has been specially made and the lady who succeeds in putting it on will receive a handsome present of plate, and will have her fame car ried throughout the length and breadth of France. The notion is said to be a Yankee one(D Experts are of opinion that the woman does not exist-in Flu rope, at all events, for it is necessary to exclude China in competition of this kind-who will be able to fulfill the required condition. The lady who has been for many years at the head of the ladies' boots department at one of the Paris universal providers declares that in all her experience she has never seen q woman's foot only seven and four-fifths inches long. The aver age length is twenty-five centimeters to twenty-five and one-half centime- ters (ten inches to ten and one-fifth inches). Oddly enough, it is found that country girls have feet just as small as those of their sisters in town, although it is true the latter are more cunning in choosing boots that make the foot look small.
