The ChaPaeteristios Of Australtan women
Julia P. Nicholson in North American Review.
Though pretty. tall and well formed. the
Australian Is not graceful. Her feet are
seldom small, her hands rarely beautiful.
Moreover. she does not dress well. Her
toilette has none Of the chic Of the Paris
ienne's, little of the sobriety of the En-
glishwoman'a Overdressed or dowdy, she
produces the impression of not only hav-
ing little taste, but no artistic sense Of the
fitness OF things. Stylish and elegant
women are to be seen more frequently in
Melbourne than elsewhere. Nevertheless.
dress ID dear to the soul of an Australian.
and much 10 spent on it. Down In the
lowest social grades it plays an important
part. The Australian hugs the idea OF
equality, and, believing in uniformity Of
dress as the visible sign of equality. often
sacrifices actual comfort to obtain fashion
able clothing. An Australian family
makes brave show ON holidays. There
may be bare feet and rags in the house.
but there are cheap feathers and gloves in
the street. Here the vanity Of the race
peeps out and hatred of apparent social
distinctions. for vanity is stronger in the
Australian woman than ambition, Just as
Incidence is more inherent than energy.
She il clever but not intellectual, accom-

sense Of perception. With the ready ease
that q troutiet changes its color into

she adapts herself to circumstances,
catches the cue of her encourage, and
continues to produce q favorable i'm
preston. With . cheerful disposition
and mercurial temperament, the seri-
Gus side Of life scarcely appeals to
her. Foreseeing not that to SOW the wind
is to reap the whirlwind. she exacts nei-
ther obedience nor due reverence from her
children, and without being specially re-
ligious leaves the responsibility of their
future very much to Providence. Thus
some Of the finest feelings that bind the
human race together become destroyed,
and q spurious sort Of independence ZOOS.

Though hardly capsule Of strong feeling

Australian is affec.ionate. and in manner

Hardwood sswmill Would Make Money.
PUGET Sound Lumberman.

EukCS cOuuO LUmDefm00.
A good mill man will some dav
come along and start hardwood saw
mill in Washington. And he will make
more money than q good many Of the fir
and cedar sawmill men. His mill will not
be large, but it will pay. because there is a
demand at all times for hardwood. The
hardwoods of this state are so scattered, as
compared with fir and cedar, that many of
our own lumbermen, not to say visitors.
have become imbued with the idea that
this state does not possess any hardwoods
fit to be converted into lumber. In fact.
many carriage workers and furniture men
and boat builders send to the East for
woods that can be obtained at their very
doors. There are many excellent tracts of
oak, maple, ash and Alaska cedar to be
found In this state, which in the aggregate
would furnish enough lumber to supply the
entire Pacific coast demand for many
years to come. Several months ago the
Lumberman called attention to the fact
that one Seattle firm offered to furnish the
Northern Pacific Railroad Com pany with
all tho oak needed at its Tacoma car shops
for the next twenty years from one tract.
Wheeler, Osgood Il Co., of Tacoma. are
even now negotiating for tract OF the
peculiar and handsome pink maple native
to this state, which. it il said. will last
them for many years to come. But lum.
bering in the Pacific Northwest is carried
on on such large scale that opportunities
in hardwoods have been overlooked, and
because there are not millions OF feet of
oak. maple and ash contiguous to mill
site it is generally set down that hard
wood mill would not pay. This 10 true to
the extent that not enough timber could
be found in any one locality to pay for the
putting NJ of large. expensive and per-
manent mill. But there Is a good opening
for several small portable mills. and if the
builders thereof are thorough business
men they will find ready market for all
the lumber they can turn out at remunera-
tive prices. The proposition is worth
looking into.

patron and well-wisher of Mr.. Cordray

were approached on the subject yesterday.
and promised not only their individual

the slightest doubt that Seattle theater-

been seldom seen within it. A most en-
PERTAINING programme will Do presented,
one that for discreet duration and merit
will alone deserve liberal patronage.
