IL will be observed that in this test

this may not be borne out by suisse

Owing to the enormous overgrowth of
the two lower incisor teeth, the unfOr-
tunate animal had evidently persisted
from sheer inability to nourish itself.
curious object is the widows
weeds of an Australian aboriginal. 1t
is the custom in one part of Australia,
near the northeast bend of the Murray
river, for widows to attend upon the
tombs of their dead husbands. Then,
after shaving their heads, they cover
them with pipeclap, kneaded into a
paste. The head is first covered with
a net, to prevent the clay from sticking
too tightly to the skin-a misfortune
which is partly averted by the amount
of grease with which every Australian
native is anointed. A layer of this
clay, several inches in thickness, is
plastered over the head, and when
dry, forms sort of skull cap exactly
fitting the head on which it was mold
ed. AS it weighs several pounds, the
widows cap cannot be comfortable.
These badges of mourning may be
found lying about near the tombs, and
until their real use was discovered, they
were very mysterious objects to trav-
elers.

We had three elephants for our

Invariably shared his meal OF fruit or

q particularly hot day, the chaprasi,
to my surprise, placed his tiny child of
months at the elephants feet, warn
ing her expressively that the infant
was in her charge, and was to be cared
for till his return. 1 myself was an
eye witness of her wonderful sagacity.
Large banana trees and fig trees grew
around, and, to my surprise, the ele-.
plant broke off one Of the formers

There are in Dawson dogs of every
kind and breed to the number Of al
least 1000, and are considered valuable
property. Singularly enough, they are
sold by weight, the ruling price being
81 pound for all under seventy-five
pounds in weight, and $3.50 per pound
for all weighing over seventy-five
pounds. These dogs are all used for
dragging loaded sleds in winter. One
of the miners ventures the prediction
that when spring opens there will not
be single dog left in Dawson. and
that they will bring higher prices dead
than they do now alive.
