of discovery to find the young lady
wearing the corresponding one on her
apron.
When all have found their partners,
the master of the ceremonies proclaims
the conditions-namely, that the young
men are to set about hemming the
aprons, the one acquitting himself the
best gaining the prize. The girls supply
the cavaliers with needles and thread,

A Monument to Whittier.

1t may not be out of place to suggest
that if there is any American poet who
deserves the statue of man of action
not the seated or half recumbent effigy
of the thinker or philosopher, but the
figure in bronze standing in the attitude
of intellectual combat with the world.
that poet is Whittier. No figure, it
would seem, could more readily inspire
the sculptor, especially if the man be
taken in the prime of his life. Every
one who has described him mt that epoch
has left an account of most impressive
personality Colonel T. w. Higginson
saw in him, at 35, "a man of striking
personal appearance-tall, slender, with
olive complexion, black hair, straight,
black eyebrows, brilliant eyes, and an
oriental, Semitic cast Of countenance. !"
Not an i'll moment for the sculptor's
consideration would be that of Whit
tiers appearance at the antislavery con-
vention at Philadelphia, in 1888, when,
according to Mr.. j. Miller McKim, who
was with him, his figure, with his
dark frock coat with standing collar,
black, flashing eyes and black beard, "
was noticeable. And if it be objected that
it should be the poet, and not the agi-
tator, who would be thus represented,
the answer may surely be made that the
ethical basis was never lacking Whit
tiers verse, and that it is as the poet
moving his fellow countrymen by his
works to humauer feelings that this
poet at least should be depicted. +.

KANGAROO HUNTING.
Riding 20 Hounds After the Nimbie Brutei
In Australia.

In Australia.
There are two ways of hunting kanga-
roos in Australia-one followed by ma
tive hunters and the other by white
men. The natives surround herd of
the animals, narrow the circle and then,
when the kangaroos dash at them in
wild efforts to escape, kill them with
short spears and clubs, commonly called
waddies. 1t is lively work for the native.
The kangaroo uses its hind legs viciously
and with great Judgment, and dogs,
horses and men have been torn open by
the nails of its hind feet.
The white men prefer to follow the
kangaroos with dogs. Every herd of
kangaroos has leader, known as the
old man, or boomer, which warns its
followers Of the approach of danger by
stamping the ground with its hind foot,
making booming sound that starts all
the kangaroos in hearing on a run. A
scared herd will run 90 or 30 miles at
times, or until it reaches safety, A
male weighs from 100 to 175 pounds
and is or s feet long. The English
make up parties of hunters and follow
the kangaroo with dogs somewhat like
foxhounds, but of greater size and
strength. Women and men join in the
sport, riding to the hounds on good
horses.
"Riding to the place where herd OF
the beasts had been seen the day before
by bushmen, a Sportsmens Magazine
writer says "we came to the bush, a
growth of ubiquitous I'll trees and tree
ferns, fit to brush one off his horse.
Quiet was the word of caution passed
when we came near the sparsely grown
ground beyond the bush where the kan
garoos had been seen. The dogs were
called in, and then we rode from the
bush into view of the herds sentinel
and then away went the kangaroos, fol
lowed by the dogs, and we were at the
tail tips of the dogs. The kangaroo'
