Nobody ever heard Of red-headed
man being sunstruck. Why red
head shouldsfford any protection from
the rays OF the sun or give its owner
immunity from one of the most sin
gular affections that humanity is heir
to is one Of those mysteries that even
the doctors cannot fsthom. but the
fact remains that men with red hair
can stand almost any amount OF ex-
ertion in or cut OF doors during the
hottest weather and never feel any
serious results from it-ISt. Louis

THE BOOM ERANG.
The Novel Weapon Used BY the Me-
tives Of Australia.


This novel weapon became an in
tensely interesting object to me very
soon after arriving in Australia and
for the purpose Of studying il, went
persistently among the black fellows,
whose friendship j cultivated in diff
ferent ways, and succeeded eventually
in learning how 10 make and throw
the boomerang. SO far, we'll and
good; but of its history | could
learn nothing. OF the origin of the
crooked stick there is no knowledge
one can only conjecture. 1t is possi-
bic il may have been born with the
race itselffrom tfe.aeeidental throw
ing OF fiat stick: for from child
hood the black fellow shows natural
bent for throwing things, rs you can
see by watching him use his only
other weapons, the spear and club.
The bow and arrow, 80 common in
other lands, is not used, except in
the extreme northern portion OF the
great island continent, where there is
mixture OF the race with the Pap
uan OF New Guinea.
There is the war boomerang, hunt
ing boomerang, and amusement
boomerang. This last Is used for
light hunting, such as killing ducks,
cockatoos and parrots, and is the one
referred to when speaking of the
boomerang. These sticks measure
from foot and half to three feet
and half in length, the fighting
and hunting ones being the largest
and heaviest. The hardest and tough
est wood is selected, and the form OF
the weapon follows the grain Of the
wood; thus, il the crook OF the root
or limb is little or much, so is the
form Of the boomerang. You will find
that nearly every one is of different
shape. In my collection | have them
varying from almost straight to a
shape like that Of the letter V.
Nearly straight, curved plain, or
namented some with strange carv-
ings, and all varying according 10
different sections of the country and
individual tribes, each having it's own
make or style, showing respectively
rough crudeness or considerable fin
ish, and being especially characteris-
tic in the ends or points-all of which
a boomerang connoisseur will dis
tinguish at once, and locate as TO
tribe and section.
In the black fellows humpy, where
he keeps his collection thrown down
in a corner with pile of spears, clubs,
rags, bark, and skins of kangaroo and
wallaby, | have seen very rare and
curious specimens.
The nOmad black fellow makes his
primitive humpy, or hut, in loca-
tion chosen temporarily, according TO
his necessities for hunting, fishing,
and the like, by cutting a young sap
ling half through about four feet
from the ground and bending it over
to horizontal position, thus forming
Il ridge-pole, against which boughs
and strips Of bark are laid. The COW
cred side is always against the wind,
and before the open front a fire is
always burning or smouldering. He
does not like the wind and if it
changes, presto! the humpy, too, is
changed in a twinkling.
Down in this humpy corner, un-
derneath the pile Of bark and skins,
he will burrow like rabbit when he
goes to sleep, and from the same
place he will provide himself with a
weapon when starting off for hunt.

PARIS. July 20.-The new torpedo
boat lie Grondeur ran into the harbor at
Boulogne this morning at a high rate Of
speed and was abandoned at once by
her crew. She had been partly burned
and was filling with water.
lie Grondeur was attached to the fleet
now man9uvring in the channel.
During the early morning she collided
with the big armored cruiser Jean Bart.
The first examination of her hull
showed that she was badly damaged,
and the water was entering so fast that
it would be race for life to get her
into port.
She was headed for Boulogne. Fuel
was piled on her fires until she was
running % knots, or about 80 miles, an
hour. Her boiler plates grew red hot,
the woodwork caught fire and the flames
spread rapidly beyond the control Of
the crew. The twenty men manning
the vessel fought the fire with despera.
ton, preserving perfect discipline,
despite their growing agony as the
flames crept toward the magazine. Only
one man, and he was recruit, gave up
hope and tried to jump overheard. He
was caught in time, however, and was
put in irons.
Eventually the fire was checked when

with the United States.
The new constitution which was

the Fourth of July from the front steps
of the former palace. A large crowd
was present, and when President Dole
appeared he was greeted by u mighty

INDIANAPOLIS, lND., july 23.-An
offensive udor was traced last night to

neighbors found the proprietor's body
swinging by the neck from the ceiling
and black from decomposition. Haas
had not been seen about the place since

have hanged himself then.
There is romantic cause for the act
Haas left his at1anCad bride in his nj.

came TO America expecting, when able,
TO send for her. When in May last he
had accumulated $50 by self.lenial and
hard work, he sent it to her, bidding.Aer

arriving trains.
The bride.to-be did not come and the
lover did not hear from ner. lie wrote
and wrote again. His answer came last

written by man who said that the

that her former lover must desist from

WOODBURY., N. j., July 2l.-The Jury
in the case of Patrick kerwin, charged
with the murder of Charles GAM, came
into court at 10 o'clock this morning,
after having been out II hours, with II
verdict of mot guilty"
kerwin was Immediately released
from custody. He was soon surrounded
by the friends who have stood by him
while the terrible charge hung over his
head and showered him with congratu.
tons. The trial lasted two weeks,
during which time expert testimony Of
every sort has been introduced.
1t was alleged by the prosecution that
GAM and kerwin, while drinking with
some companions at hotel near here
on January 18th of this year, quarrelled
and that GAM was killed and his body
thrown into the Delaware river, where
1t was found some weeks afterward
kerwin admitted quarrelling with
CAM, but denied having anything to do
with his death. CAMS mysterious dis
appearance was for long time the
sensation of south Jersey. The mystery
was heightened by the finding OF 4 body
in the river which was positively
identified by some of Ganz's relatives as
that OF the missing man, but which
attcrward proved to be the remains Of
another person.

Now that the cottage season has como
and every one who can do so is arranging
for few months out.of.town recrea-
ton and rest, it may be interesting to
know of an inexpensive and easy way
to make coverings for cottage floors.
One woman has hers already made,
and pretty enough they are, too. She
bought the lightest- coIored awning cloth
and sewed it together with strong CARPET
thread until she had the desired width,
Then there was Il hem about eight
inches wide, turned down and basted then
stitched again and again until the border
was firm and strong. 10 lay this cloth over
the table, and with the brush and LIQUID
dyes make q handsome floral border all
around it, and a centre piece to match,
was the work of few hours. The re.
suit was eminently satisfactory, and at
least four rooms are provided Tor at the
merest tritle of cost. One of the largest,
quite sufficient to cover the largest room
III the cottage, cost, all told, less than

Here is an interesting account of

sight, and refused all offers OF com.

Under the law the owner of the fac
tory was responsible for an injury re-
sulting from an accident of this kind,
and although he believed that the man
was shamming and that the whole case
was an attempt at swindling, he had
about made up his mind that he would
be compelled to pay the claim. The day
Of the trial arrived, and in open court
an eminent oculist retained for the de-
fence examined the alleged injured
member and gave 1t as his opinion that
it was as good as the right eye. Upon
the plaintiffs loud protest of his in
ability to see with his left eye, the ocu-

the court and jury Of the falsity of his

Then the plaintiff was ordered to put on
a pair of spectacles with two different
glasses, the one for the right eye being
red and the onG for the left eye consist

was handed him and he was ordered to
read the writing on it. This he did
without hesitation and the cheat was at
once exposed. The sound right eye,
fitted with the red glass, was unable to
distinguish the green writing on the
black surface of the card, while the left
eye, which he pretended was sightless,
was the one with which the reading had
to be done.
