A spOrtsman's Glimpses of Animals Pc
cuIiar to Australia.
There are wallabies and wallabies,
scrub, swamp and rock wallabies, but
all furnish lively sport for the hunter.
The wallabies are next relatives to the
kangaroos and are found in Australia.
+. G.. Aflalo tells in the Badminton
Magazine how he hunted the wallabies
10 miles up the picturesque river, called
the Rhine of the south by the Austria
lians. The hunt was failure, but the
writer had more sport after kangaroOs.
'We had not, my companion and I,
gone half a mile, " he says, 'when we
disturbed a large gray kangaroo at his
morning toilet He rose politely and
eyed us for a moment, which would
have been his last Oh earth, only, as
luck would have it, he stood immedi-
ately between ourselves and the other
two of the hunters Then, while we
were bowling to each other, the kangaroo
suddenly vanished do not pretend to
know where he went When beast can
leap 20 feet without moving muscle,
it is useless to look for it. Here came a
streak Of luck. We rammed through a
tangle of trailing underground and all
Of a sudden there sat a small doe wallaby
in a small opening, scratching her ear.
1t is not everybody who can intrude on
a female wallaby and find her scratch
ing her ear with q hind foot, nor does
one often find a wallaby so interested
in what she was doing as this one was.
She rubbed her ear some more, and,
shocked beyond all measure, my friend
killed her with an express ball
1.-THE ears were cut off as trophies. A
little while after this about 90 walla-
bics and kangaroos were seen in a herd,
browsing in the grass mile away, and
that was q tantalizing sight, though
mighty interesting The beasts could
scent man mile away easily, and O
scent meant a so as you please hop race
with no finish so far as the men were
concerned
with good pull at the flask, we
crept forward. " the writer says. "On
we plOdded, and the animals began to
look troubled, warned by those vague
and inexplicahle forebodings of instinct,
standing erect now and then and scan
ming the horizon with their great eyes.
The males tapped the ground to warn
the does and away they went. We got

THE LESSON OF THE SITUATION.

Whatever Generalization may have
prevailed for time in Democratic
ranks as q result Of the anomalous
action at Chicago is fast giving way to
a clearer perception of the dictate of
the situation and the duty of the hour.
Briefly, the Sound Money men should
stand together at all points in the field
where a juncture of their forces may
be possible in defense of the one prin-
ciple which is paramount in this strug-
gle-the principle of the national
honor-and their lines should be made
a rallying point for all who are willing
to lend a hand in this cause.
Wherever the Democrats shall name
Sound Money candidates for Congress
or for the Legislature in Democratic
districts they should be accorded the
loyal and hearty support of all Sound
Money voters. In the rush to aid the
one great cause which is at stake all
lesser issues should be flung aside, and
all the old cries of mere partisanship
be silenced. The tariff is not the issue
of this canvass; it can afford to wait
until the present tempest shall have
blown over And so with half a dozen
other issues that might readily be
named.
The Sound Money Democratic voters
in their respective districts will un-
doubtedly divide upon the national
ticket. However that may be, they
will be entitled to support wherever
they shall show an unbroken front on
Congressional and Legislative tickets.
Let them line up firmly in the cause of
duty, and the patriotic instinct of the
masses will see to it that their columns
shall not lack re-enforcements. The is
sues of national credit and and Govern
ment solvency are at stake in this con-
test; and all other questions should
be sent to the rear till this fight shall
have been fought and won.-PhiIddel

"How DO YoN pow
The French Lady Thought 1t q Question
to Be Answered.

The French Lady Thought 1t Question
to BE Answered.
An American lady who spent some
time in Paris says that she had friend
there, a French lady, who. wished to
learn little English, apd did So
Among her acquisitions in the language
was the expression, ''How do you do?"
to which she was careful, to learn the
proper response.
One day the American lady met her
French friend ON the street. The Amer
ican lady said, "How do you do?' with
a smile, and passed ON. She did not
stop to notice that she had left the
French lady standing on the street in
astonishment
Soon afterward she called on her
friend, and was received very coldly by
the French lady. AS she did not know
of any reason why the lady should be
offended with her, she pressed her to tell
what was the matter.
"Have done anything to grieve
you?" she asked
Anything to grieve mel'' answered
the French lady. "You meet me on the
street, you ask me how I am, you do not
wait to find out how am, you pass on,
and then you ask me whether you have
done anything to grieve mel"
Then the American explained that it
is not customary for Americans to wait
for an answer to their inquiry, "How
do you do?' that they commonly utter
the words and pass on, or if they stop
to speak, at once begin to talk of other
matters.
The French lady could hardly express
her astonishment. "The Americans dc
many very, very strange things, she
said, "but this is the strangest of allW
The French, when they are of the de-
gree of acquaintance that justifies in
uuiry as to the health of another, stop
and hear all about it, and all about the
health of the respective families. When
all this information has been exchanged,
the two persons part with many adieuz
and elaborate good wishes for each 9th
er's continued health and happiness.
The Italians frequently embrace one
another in public places and shake
hands several times and commit one
another i'll parting to the care of God
The Americans and the English are the
only people that question each other al
to their health without stopping to finC
out anything about it.-Youth's Com

HOUSES BUILT IN TREES.
New Guinea Claims the Distinction {
Furnishing This Unique Spectacle.

New Guinea Claims the Distinction of
Furnishing This Unique Spectacle.
Man was indubitably at one period Of
his existence an arboreal animal. He
had much to do with "the trees of the
garden. In some places and as repre-
sented by some races he still lives
among them,
The natives Of New Guinea climb
like monkeys and travel for long dis.
tances from one tree to another without
descending to the ground. The birds
build little fairylike cabins ON the
ground, but the people construct their
houses in the top of the tallest forest
trees First a native, having climbed
the great trunk of the teak or cedar or
oak tree he has selected, begins by cut
ting off some of the branches the right
length to support platform of bamboo
on which his house is to rest. You
would wonder how he could do anything
with the tools he uses if you should see
them. He has no saw or steel edged Ak,
but only sort of tomahawk made of
stone and knives of bone or hard wood
When, however, he has in some way
managed to get the limbs Of his tree so
cut and fashioned as to support his
house, his hardest work is DONE
The house itself is soon built and is
made of bamboo strips and thatched
with palm leaves. All parts are firmly
lashed together with strips of rattan
palm, very tough vine, used by the
natives in place of ropes. 1t is not a
large house, though it sometimes con-
tains several rooms, but it is q safe and
secure retreat for the women and chill
dren in case Of a sudden attack by hos
tile tribes
The house is reached from the ground
by long ladder or inclined plane, made
of woven vines In case an enemy ap-
pears the ladder is drawn up, and the
man and his family and the pig are safe
within the house. The elevation not
only secures the household from wild
beasts and from the ants that roam the
country, seeking what they may devour,
but also from disease germs, which, like
those Of yellow fever, do not rise above
q certain level The breeze, too, rocks
the house gently, like cradle, and sets
the fresh air into circulation, making it
delightfully."- refreshing after the sultry
heats below.
If you should climb the long ladder
and peep in at the door, you will find
the family, perhaps, all asleep or sitting
about the floor eating yams, cocoanuts
and bananas, and sharing them with
their pet pigs, parrots or poultry. You
will find there no pictures. toys or play
things, such as even the poorest children
among us possess; no music and no
books, no furniture in.fhe room, not
even bed and no mats on the. floor.
Many true built nest is constructed
with more art and is more comfortable
for ne little ones who are born in it,
and is far prettier than the rude huts Of
the wild men Of New Guinea. --Phila-
delphia Inquirer.

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is the result, and unless the

HOW is 1T WITH THE RICH.
A New York correspondent last week

A New York correspondent last week
said:
For years Cornelius Vanderbilt has
taken practically no exercise. He was
urged to do so, and told what the con-
sequences would be, but said that he
had ''no time" The possessor of 800,
1000, he was not master even of his
own time, and was one of the hardest
working men in New York. Several
days ago one of his employees pre-
dicted that he would soon collapse
under the strain to which he was sub
jecting himselfs He kept at work all
the time. Even when at Newport he
had daily statements made to him.
When in New York he often carried
home unfinished business. from the
Office. Besides attending to his own
affairs and giving a general supervis-
ion of the companies in which he was
a controlling Director, he gave a great
deal of his time and energy to religious
and philanthrOpic movements. Every
where he placed a dollar he followed it
up with personal visits and individual
work. A lady met him recently in st.
Luke's Hospital, going from bed to
bed, conversing with patients. It is
no easy task for q conscientious man
to take care of fortune of 800, 900, 900.
The late John Jacob Astor used to say
that he could get other men to collect
his money for him, but he could only
trust himself to invest it, and this took
up all his time and energies. Mr..
Vanderbilt kept an office in his private
residence, and he was stricken down
in his room. Dr. Draper, who had
called to see his son, had stopped to
report to Mr.. Vanderbilt and said to
him: ''Mr. Vanderbilt, you don't
look right yourself. I am afraid you
are not well. " eyes, I am, !" responded
the millionaire, and then was i'm
mediately stricken with paralysis.

The announcement that a French
physician has discovered that leprosy
is due to a micrObe, and has cured a
number of cases, will, if confirmed,
take away much of the popular dread
of that horrible disease. At present,
leprosy is considered worse than small
pox, because it is believed to be in
curable; but if it can be not only cured
but prevented as readily as smallpox
can be controlled, it will be even less
feared in this part of the world, because
it is so much less prevalent. At the
rate cures for hitherto incurable dis
eases are being discovered now, the
prediction that hundred years hence
no incurable disease will exist seems
likely to be verified far ahead of time.
