Rabbits in Austr ALA.

Mr.. Walter Dalrymple Severn re-
Gently delivered an illustrated lee
ture to a large audience at the In
perial Institute, London, on "The
Rabbit Plague In Australia" Tho
lecturer said it was at the period Of
the highest prosperity Of Australia
and New South Wales that patri-
otto gentleman thought it would be
a good thing to import a few rabbits
into the colony, as they would serve
for food and for sport,
He accordingly imported three
pairs of rabbits, and they were turned
loose. 1t was not long before it was
found that the district in question
had been transformed into a gigantic
rabbit warren. Indeed, it was dis
covered that single pair Of rabbits,
under favorable circumstances, would
in three years have progeny num-
bering 13, 7lS,OO0. Sir Saul Samuel,
in moving vote of thanks to the
lecturer, said the governmental New
South Wales had 1900 schemes sent
in when the 925, 900 reward was
offered, but none of them were really
of practical nature, and the reward
was withdrawn.

Roman Standards.

In the Roman army there was
very highly developed system Of mill
tary enslgns, which, just as among
modern nations, were regarded not
merely as a rallylng point for given
body Of men but as an emblem OF the
state, and were therefore surrounded
with veneration which degenerated
into idolatry. From a tactical point
Of view the Roman standards were Of
more Importance than the flag at the
present day, for the movements OF
the troops were entirely regulated by
them.
Accordingly as they were raised
and carried forward, planted In the
ground, or turned toward the rear, in
obedience to the sounds Of the horns
of the "corniclnes," the army broke
up it's camp and marched, or re-
treated and halted. In the camp the
standards we're planted before the
Generals tent, where their presence
sancti1ed the spot as though 1t were
a temple, and rendered 1t safe de-
posltory for the booty collected BY
the legion, 1t was to the standards
the soldiers swore allegiance, and tho
first step of pretender who sought
to become Emperor was to seize the
standards, as he thereby secured the
fidelity Of the legion.
On feast days the dusty awe-in-
spring standards" as Pliny calls
them, were anointed with perfumes
and decorated with garlands; on days
OF mourning they were stripped OF
their ornaments, and II, when the or
der to march was given, their bearers
found it difilcult to loosen them from
the earth, it was looked upon as o
fatal omen. All the Year Round.

A Flint.

BetroJhed people are apt to be abb
sorbed in each other to the exclusion
of other friends. There is a great
temptation to lovers to withdraw
themselves from other interests, to
make the parents and brothers and
sisters who have loved a girl all her
life feel that they are no longer neces-
sary tn her; that her heart is gone
from them, while her form is In their
midst. But it would be a nObler
love, and one that would promise
more for future happiness, that would
hold the old ties more nearly and
dearly because of this new one, dearer
than them all, which would be sedu-
lous to spare the home circle any
slight, any sense of loss beyond the
inevitable one parted presence. Love
is the best gift of God, bat it should
be crowned with honor-a sovereign
who exalts his subjects, not tyrant
who debases them. A undetermined
girl who will be careful in no least
thing to hurt or slight the home
hearts she Is leaving, will show that
she could afford to wait little even
for her happiness, rather than grasp
it with unseemly eagerness

Baby just looked at it and then cried,
and this was the commencement of Il
boycott which made Caldwells ven
ture Improbable.
p. II. Hurd, out Of the two or three
hundred who were at that time regu-
larly producing something that was
of no account, got clear Off the track
when he patented his whlrliglg,
which was supposed to teach the baby
to creep, and later to walk. There
was never any litigation In regard to
infringement of this patent; its life
was as short as that Of a sand-ny,
and it didn't take the inventor much
longer than that to find out that the
million dollars or so which loomed up
on the horizon the day he made APP

the different bulldogs and adopted
measures for organization, started on
her return trip In August. OF course,
the journey from Yakutsk to Moscow
was as difficult to make as the one
from Moscow to Yakutsk, but with
the indomitable courage so charac-
teristc Of the woman she bore the
hardships Of the return trip. The
receptions that she met with at diff
ferent places on the road were most
gratifying, She conferred with the
different committees, and everywhere
large donations were made for her
work. She accomplished what she
had deemed impossible even in her
widest expectations. When she
reached England she received the
hearty approval Of Queen Vic
toria in a letter recommending
her efforts and the work which she
had accomplished and wished to &C.
complish. This was the means OF
awakening a wider interest in heI
work throughout England, and nu-
merous contributions came to heI
from all sides.

lapidated feed cutter, for all the
beauty and symmetry it combined,
but he got a patent on it. Any self
respecting infant would raise the
whole neighborhood If such thing
were wheeled into his presence, says
the Chicago Tribune, and the irate
father would probably hunt for the
inventor with a large double barreled
gun, so it is just as well, or better,
for Brown No. 2 that the demand for
his tender was exceedingly limited.
Along about this time the paragon
of the whole lot was born, but like
its predecessors 1t vanished before
any great number of people had an
opportunity to test it and say swear
words at the originator. 1t was all
thought out in the Maine woods. In

There is a custom practlCed In
Northern China of using hot water
every morning to wash the face and
hands. Men, women AID children
must have basin Of clean hot water
when they get up or before they eat
their breakfast, In which to battle
feet and hands at least Even beg
gars have hot water, or use none at
all. Seasons do not affect the GUS
tom. In summer, when one would
think cold bath would be grateful,
hot water is used all the same. No
one would insult his guest by Offering
cold water to wash in. The water is
almost scaldlng hot, and the towel
for wiping Is first used as wash rag.

Weird TAX from " Black swamp,

Weird Talk from "Black swamp.
Three and half miles west OF
Aldie, Loudoun County, Va, is the
locally famous "blaCk swamp" and a
strange story has been current there
abouts for the better part Of this
century. Jesse McVelgh lived long
ago In an old stone house on the edge
Of the swamp, and there came to him
once a stranger asking shelter. The
stranger was taken in, and he lived
there for five years. He never went
beyond the pond for exercise, and he
took elaborate precautions at night
to guard against surprise. When he
died stranger from a neighboring
village came and claimed the body,
protesting to recognize the dead man
as an acquaintance. The stranger
who claimed the body was the dead
mans son, and he afterward became
Chief Justice of the United States
Supreme Court. The father,
wealthy and well-educated Maryland
er, but man of ungovernable tenn
per, had slain a guest at his own ta-
BILE by breaking his skull with de-
canter The homiclde's place Of hid
ing was hardly more than fifty miles
from the scene Of his crime.

cottages, hospitals, etc, and was so
enthusiastic In all that she did as to-
awaken the greatest confidence wher-
ever she went The lepers had lost
all confidence in mankind owing td
the unsuccessful attempts made by
the local governments of Eastern ST..
IBERIA to alleviate their condition,
The only assistance they had was
given them by one Of the men from
the village who visited their locality
once or twice a week. He never saw
them, but left food in a certain
place, to which the unfortunate
creatures would crawl until they had
secured 1t.

Slatust, and from there had to travel
by sledge. She, was on these sledges
for mouths, travelling thousands of
miles. And then for long time she
used the tarantas wagons. She stopped
at the different capitals in order to
rest as we'll as to gain the assistance
of the governors, churchmen and
other influential persons and, through
the recommendations which the EN-
press of Russia had given her, she
was enabled to organize several col
lection committees and was assured
of substantial assistance.
She reached Yakutsk in June, where
official notices of her intended visit
had preceded her. 1t is to Yakutsk
that the Russian Government ban
ishes the most dangerous criminals,
and it was here she found so many
lepers compelled to live in the forests
among such horrible surroundings as
to occasion extreme suffering The
inhabitants refuse to have anything
to do with the lepers, as they believe

sore trial.
The first American production,
really the genesis Of the cradle, was
never patented, though 1t was used
extensively in some portions of the
country. This was the sugar trough,
made and used at a time when the
sturdy father was literally hewlng a
home out Of the forest. A length Of
the maple tree, split in the CENTER
stripped of it's bark and followed out
that was all there was to it, but,
crude as it was, it served the purpose
and allowed the mother to attend to
other duties In this busy time of
hUme-making. In spare moments,
the father constructed more elab-
crate affair, boX-shaped and fitted
with roughly fashioned rockers, and
then the trough was RELOCATED to its
former service of holding the sweet
sap from the sugar tree. At this
stage the inventor got firm hold on
the idea, and it was no time at all
until there were enough articles in
this line to make two generations OF
babies miserable.
j. H. Brown, of New York, got an
early start with his combined cradle

Good Advice.

Sixty years ago the incumbent of a
church In Hull used to he called Vicar
Bromby. In appearance he was not
unlike Socrates, and people did say
that he was better acquainted with
Seneca than with st. Paul
Just after the passage of the first
reform bill, in 1882, he preached a
sermon in which he uttered this
wholesome Socratic passage:
ain these days we hear great deal
about reform. Let me give you a
piece of advice: the best reform is to
make one person better. l need not
say who the person may be. !"

upon the infant as a substitute for a
mothers arms, has prejudiced him
against the man with an idea to ex-
change for an annuity, and he wants
none of him or his. A baby wants
no patent nurse, even if it may have
soft pillows, tlimsy canopy and music
box attachment. For him the good,
fashioned way is BEST and when
one of the crazy combinations is tried
on him it is no wonder he kicks the
air with a pair of chubby little feet
and yells the roof off the house.
Jumpers, walkers, tenders, creepers,
cradles, and several too complicated
to belong to any special class are just
a few of those things which have

more closely affiliated, so he combined
the two. 1t might have worked all
right and the hand that rocked the
cradle in addition to ruling the
world could, at the same time, have
carried on the more vulgar occupa-
ton of making nice prints of yellow
butter for the huckster, only the
cream was never ready to churn when
the baby cried, and when the dasher
was fitted in and everything ready in
the manufacturing department the
baby was invariably asleep or on its
good behavior. This is the little
point that e. Whitman failed to con-
slider, so he buried his regrets and
went back to the pillow, leaving a
clear field.
AS a usual thing when inventors
find clear field they tax their TWEEN
ty-candle, power ideas to covering the
entire ground, so as to leave nothing
for the man in their wake but law
suits. J. Erickson was one Of these.
He invented a baby-walker with q
barrel-stave crib combination war
ranted to take all care and worry
from a mothers mind-that is, pro-
vdlng the little monarch of the
household would put UP with IL. But,
like E. Whitman, he overlooked one
important feature. The walker
should have been adjustable for the
use of the father until the baby was
large enough to push it around and
break all the bric-a-bra in the house

Empress of Russia. The latter re-
piled, expressing great pleasure If
she could be Of any use. 1t was ow-
ing to her efforts that Miss Marsden
secured written recommendations to
all the authorities and officers of the
country. She left England for ST.
IBERIA the latter part Of 1890. When
she reached st. Petersburg the EN-
press gave her a reception and pre-.
sented her with a large sum of
money to be used at her discre-
tion.

and walker. He abandoned the old
fashioned rocker and made his little
machine work with spring so it
would 60 up and down with the mo-
tion, and noise too, perhaps Of
dump cart. 1t was only necessary to
furnish it with wheels to make a
walker out of it, not as good one Or
nearly so handy as the ordinary chair,
but it gave the inventor the chance
to claim a dual virtue for his patent,
something essential in addition to an

A Photographic camera has been
specially devised for registering the
distance of lightning flashes. The
slide holding the plate is inclined at
a considerable angle to the axis OF
the lens. Consequently, there will
only be one point where the flash
comes into focus, and from the posi-
tion of this point upon the plate it is
possible to determine the distance OF

The world has never witnessed a

of Father Damien among the lepers
OF Molokai, than that furnished by
Miss Kate Marsden, the young Eng
lish woman who spent some time
with the lepers Of far-off Siberia. 1t
required a total self-forgetfulness
and a love Of humanity that not one
person in a million possesses to under
60 the hardships she endured and
the risk Of life which she counted as
nothing, and all this for people who
were strangers to her.

came so interested in the stories Of

the disease is not only contagious but

the disease is not only contagious but
a direct curse Of the devil. Nothing

Looked Upon Death.
When she left Yakutsk to visit the
lepers in that vicinity she was accom-
panied by fifteen men, comprising
farmers, soldiers, and state officers.
They took with them thirty horses,
and covered 1900 miles before they
made the rounds. The dangers and
hardships of this unprecedented ride
were of so incredible nature that
Miss Marsden carefully prepared Off
cial reports and atfidavits in regard
to them. Many a time she looked
upon death in such appalling hideous-
ness as to haunt her for weeks and
months. Worn out she persevered
and visited the different groups of
lepers, helping and consoling them
with prom SEES of lasting assistance.
The heartrending scenes that she
daily witnessed made her all the
more determined to leave no stone
unturned in lettering the lot Of these
unfortunates. She consulted with
the officials who accompanied her in
regard to the best location for her
future colony, which should comprise
