generally and in 'OpalS and Agates'
Mr.. Nehemiah BARLEY relates laugh
able incident in which they played a
conspicuous part.
There was in Queensland q land-Sur-
vcyor. man of dignified demoanor
very severe with the men in his en-
ploy. before whom he never unbent in
the slightest degree. 1t happened one
day. when work was over. that one of
! the men WAS taking home Il tomahawk
which had been used for marking trees.
and as he PASSED along he struck il
carefully into Il decayed stump. intend
ing to leave it there till the next day.
An instant later out came swarm
or hornets. and the man. finding them
about his head. made "bec-linc" for
the nearest water-holc. into which he
plunged and Squatted.
Not long after this his mate came
along the same path. The inhabitants
of the stump had retired from the
scene. The man SAW the tomahawk.
and thinking il might fall from the
stump. removed it and struck il in a
little deeper.
Out rushed the hornets in Il body.
The man brushed and struck at the
assaling host. but was worsted and
forced TO make wild stampede for
the Water-h0lc. where he found his
companion still immersed. The two
sufferers compared SOrrOwful notes as
they daubed mud over their wounds.
Following in their wake along the
path came the serious boss himself
He saw the tomahawk, and thinking
that the workmen had been careless
to leave it there to rust in the dews OF
night. he wrenched il from the stump
TO take home. He likewise was waited
upon by an army of angry insects. and
like his workmen. was compelled To
take refuge in the water.
What stings those insects have" he
cried.
Yes, sir. we know they do" was tho
response; and then all three men broke
into hearty laugh over the misadven-
ture and their ridiculous appearance.

LEO'S MANNER OF SPEECH.
Deliberate. but Unhesitating, and His
Voice Has Great Power


The stiff mannerism of the patri-
archal system. which survived until
recently from early Roman times. gave
him that somewhat formal tone and
authoritative manner which are so char
acterstic of his conversation in private.
His deliberate but unhesitating speech
makes one think OF Goethe's without
haste. without rest" Yet his fOrmality
is not of the slow and circumlocutory
sort; on the contrary. it is energetically
precise. and helps rather than mars the
sound casting of each idea. The form
ality of strong people belongs to them
naturally. and is the expression of GER
tain unchanging persistence; that of
the weak is mostly assumed for the
sake of magnifying the little strength

ering his great age, it is wonderfully
clear and ringing. and il has certain
incisiveneSS of sound which gives il
great carrying power. Plus y. had as
beautiful a voice. both in compass and
in richness of quality. as any barytone
singer in the SiStine choir No one who
ever heard him intOne the 'Te Deum'

get the grand tones. He WAS gifted in
many ways-With great physical beau

with Il most witty humor; and in char

hearted and gentle men of his day. as
he was also one of the least initiative.

My daughter, who is something of a nat

denizens Of the pond, and whenever she
gees along the banks the fish follow her
and will eat out of her hand. One day
fish appeared evidently about to die with
some kind of swelling on his head. She

he came for his food, evidently feeling as
