And you screamed?'
II did. What else could do? 1t was my

The bell sounded and the maid announced
a man from the theater.
''Show him in,'' said the prima donna.

DO You mean to say that the grip
causes many deaths In summer" he
was asked.
Not many deaths are directly
caused by the grip In warm weather
he replied, but we have found that the
mortality Indirectly caused by an cpl
demlc of the Influenza continues all
summer"
How does influenza Indirectly cause
death?"
by weakening the constitution and
making n person susceptible to fatal
disease"
How do you account for the low
death rate this summer"
Partly by the cool weather and part
ly by the condition OF the sreets. which
are cleaner than Ihnyc ever known them
to be. Much OF the summer mortality
is caused by diarrhoeal diseases. and
those diseases are the result either OF
heat or OF fermentation In food. In the
tenement house districts many people
are Obliged TO keep milk and other ar.
ticles of food exposed TO the air much
OF the time, II the streets are clean
there Is less dirt In the air and less
dirt gets into the food. Consequently
there IL likely to be less sickness"

Leather made from the skin of the
kangaroo is one of the new products
in the leather line It is soft. strong.
and the light grades are particularly
well adapted for light summer shoes
and for shoe tops, while the heavier
grades will bear more usage than any
other leather finished on the grain side.
The light skins are made into the finest
brilliant glazed kid and in dull finish
for ladies fine shoes. and the heavy
ones are finished for mems fine work.
Much OF 1t is crimped and sold for
tongue boots. Shoe laces Of good quail
tiles are also made of 1t. The skin Of
the kangaroo has a wonderfully mus
cular fibre, which contributes largely
to the strength OF the animal. enabling
the females to carry their young In
their pouch until old enough to take
care OF themselves. and aiding the kan
CARGO In his long leaps when in motion.
The animal is n native OF Australia and
adjacent islands. II is a distinct spe-
cies. and has no counterpart In other
countries. There are great number OF
families. some scarcely larger than a
rat. others of almost gigantic size. The
giant kangaroo Macropus MAJOR, tho
family which furnishes the most vaius
BILE skins. was discovered by Captain
Cook about century ago. at which time
1t attracted much attention among nat
uralists. The natives OF Australia call
the old males "booma," and are slow
to attack them. The "booma" has
paws as large as those OF mastiil.
though Of different shape. His feet are
dangerous antagonist. When raised to
his full height his hind legs and tail
form n tripod. upon which his body
rests, carrying his head as high rs that
OF man on horseback. The kangaroo
lives upon vegetable food. and roams
over the plains OF Australia in large
hocks. Its teeth are so constructed
that II can feed upon roots and live up
on barren plains. where other animals
would starve. and TO Its destruction OF
roots is attributed the sterile plains so
common In Australia. When feeding n
large male stands at his full height and
acts as sentinel, while the balance OF
the flock lie on their sides and browse.
AT the slightest approach OF danger the
sentinel sounds the alarm. and In an
instant nil are erect upon their hind
feet. They leap with their forepaws
clasped close to their body. the tail
stretched backward. while the powerful
thigh muscles are caused suddenly 10

the body iiics through the air on low
curve. The ordinary jump is about
nine feet. but thirty feet is often made
at leap. When pursued by hunters,

they can outrun the iieetest dog. but
down-grade they lose their balance and
roll over. The flesh OF the kangaroo
furnishes excellent food. Kangaroo
