KANGAROO HUNTING.
Riding to Heqnds After the MIMI
Brutes in Australia,

Riding f9 HDYnds After the NfMRte
BFutee in Australia,
There are two ways of hunting kan
garoos In Australia, one followed by par
tive hunters and the other by white
men. The natives surround q herd Of
the animals. marrow the circle and then,
when the kanga1oos dash at them in
wild efforts to escape, kill them with
short spears and clubs, commonly called
waddies. It is lively work for the ma
tive. The kangaroo uses his hind leg
viciously and with great judgment, and
dogs, horses and men have been torn
open by the nails of his hind feet.
The white men prefer to follow the
lsangaroos with dogs. Every herd Of
kangaroos has a leader. known as the
old man or boomer, which warns his
followers Of the approach of danger
by stamping the ground with his hind
foot. making a booming sound that
starts all the kangaroos in hearing on
run. a scared herd viii run 20 or 80
miles at times, or until it reaches safe
ty, A male weighs from 100 to 1f5
pounds and is seven or eight feet long.
The English make up parties of hunters
and follow the kangaroo with dogs
somewhat like foxhounds, but Of great
er size and strength. Women and men
Join In the sport, riding to the hounds
on good horses.
Riding to fhe place where q herd
of the beasts have been seen the day
before by bushmen," Sportsman Mag
azine writer says, .'we came to the bush,
growth Of ubiquitous trees and tree
ferns, fit to brush one of his horse.
Quiet was the word of caution passed
when we came near the sparsely grown
ground beyond the bush where the
kangaroos had been seen, The dogs
were called ia. and then we rode from
the bush into view of the herds senti-
mel, and then away went the lsangaFoes,
followed by the dogs. and we were at
the tail tips of the dogs, The kanga-
roos could not run. but folding their
forelegs across their breasts. they sat
down. Then, with tail and hind legs,
away they went by hops, no hop being
less than 20 feet long, and others being
more than 80 feet. They cleared shrubs
IL feet high.
"Curiously enough, the kangaroo tray
els faster up hill than down. the dogs
catching up on the down slopes. The
beast sometimes breaks its neck while
running down hill by going head over
heels. The does began to throw their
young out of their pouches, and we knew
they were hard pressed. They turned
suddenly for the water. We found the
dogs at a water hole with two boom
ers at bay. We dismoGnt4d. and draw
ing our knives, waited an opportunity
to run In and haInstring them. A dog
rushed in and was caught by the hind
leg Of q boomer and pressed under
water, where & wag quickly drowned.
Then q dog got one Of the beasts by the
back and threw it, whereqpon my cousin
quickly hamstrnng It, while I raped its
pcae with my whip, killing it. We had
kangaroo tall soup and steaks for din
neg for several days,-G. Z. 6an.

Heavy nnffea ON Linens.

The following are some of the com.
ments of a man we'll acquainted with
linens and the linen industry upon the
senate doetored Dingley bill:
The proposed duties on linen goods
under the amended Dinlgey bill are
heavier than ever, although it has been
claimed that the senate had reduced
rates. These goods paid for many years
80 per cent and yielded steady reve-
nue. TO the government The rates now
proposed vary from 80 to 1903 per cent,
and the burden falls heaviest on low
and medium goods, which are chiefly
used in the homes of the poorer people.
A cheap tablecloth now selling at re-
tail at rs cents per yard will have to be
sold at 371a cents to 40 cents if the
quality be kept up.
Medium linen for children s summer
blouses will be assessed 991a per cent,
and the retail price will have to go up
accordingly.
Linen forms the raw material for
many American industries. as Innings
for clothing and other purposes where
strength and durability are required.
Such goods will be advanced 30 to 80
per cent.
1t is claimed that this advance is nee
essary for revenue, but the effect will be
that the people will in many cases substi-
tute something cheaper, and thus be de-
prived Of this useful fabric, and the reye-
nue. will be correspondingly diminished
1t is said that linen goods can be made
here, but this has been tried again and
again, and except in the case of few
low crashes has been failure, owing to
the climate and other difficulties, but
even if they could be made here the
rates are unnecessarily oppressive. The
entire cost of weaving linen goods in
Europe is about 7 % to 10 per cent the
selling price of the article here, and in
America the cost should not be at the
very outside more than double this per-
oentage, so that, even if Republican
theories be true, protection of 80 per
cent should be ample to allow for high
er wages and extra profits for our man.

rates, sell the stock, and then step ont.

The Bicycle Faca.

It has been demonstrated recently
that the serewed-up condition of the
countenance known as the ''bieycle
face is not at all the result Of bicycling
particularly, but Is induced by any vio-
lent demand on the muscles. An ar
ticle on the muscular contraction of the
face, published by DIR. A. Fournier, in
La Nature, illustrates this fact by pre-
senting picture Of young man in the
act of jumping hurdle During the
jump" the doctor says. '.the entire
body leaves the ground, and for the time
being floats through the air like pro-
jectile. The effort OF giving the inn
pulse provokes 2 contraction OF the
muscles of the entire body; the trunk
and the extresnities of the body form at
the moment OF leaving the ground but
one rigid unit. The picture shows tho
body at that moment, and 1t repro
duces the full effort and the complete
contraction. As the jump svas rather
high, the violence of the effort is well
accentuated in the jumpers expression.
He looks as if in great distress and as
it he was about to break into tears. -

A eeyNTRY OF SURPRISES.
Strange Industrial RIVALS in South
Africa.

While there is little doubt that with
proper Development OF its agricpltu-
raj and pastoral resources South Africa
could be made self-supportipg, the sue
cessful development of these indus
tries depends, nevertheless, upon the
creation of local markets through the
stimulus given by mining operations.
Whatever may contribute to the ex-
tension of the commerce and trade of
South Africa, the immediate future of
the country is dependent primarily
upon the development of its mineral re-
sources. Probably no other event has
SO impressed this fact upon the minds
of the people of the country at large as
the dire straits TO which they have
been reduced reduced by the rinderpest cpl
deelmie.
Indeed, npon tw9 previous memor-
able occasions SOUTH Africa has been
saved from Industrial disaster by the
stimulus given to trade through the
development of the diamond industry
in one instance and the development of
the gold industry in the other. The
Deus ex machina to again save the
country will be the expansion of the
miperal industry.
With the exception of mining of gold,
diamonds and coal, there have been no
considerable exploitations Of its min
eral resources. Coal, fortunately, ,exr
lists In many parts of the country, and
1t has been estimated that the known
coal fields represent an area of $4,000
square miles. which is equal in extent
to the state of Iowa. There exist In
some parts of the country large depos-
it's of iron contiguous to the coal-felds,
but as yet the economic conditions have
not favored the development of that in
dustry. Lead, silver, cinnabar. tin and
other metals are also found In many
parts of the country, but have not been
remuneratively worked. Among the
mining countries of South Africa the
Transvaal is facile princeps, and is in
all probability destined to maintain it's
paramount position; though, as is well
known, South Africa is ga country of
surprises" and it is possible, of course,
though not probable, that within it's
great extent other equally important
districts may be discovered. -North

the RHoTo-MIcRoGRAPH.

An Instrument which May Revolq-
tionize the Practice of Medicine.
A photo-micrograph Is an instrument
that enlarges and photographs an OBJ
aect at the same time. DR.. ,Galosh, Of
Vienna; DR.. Enrich, Of Berlin, and Dr.
Robert +. Watkins, of our own country,
believe they have discovered the nest
Of the bacilli in the blood; also just
what pourishes them, and gives them
destroying power. They are confident
if this nest is destroyed, it would be
impossible for person to suffer con-
tagiQn, no matter what the disease.
Consumption, they say, apoplexy, heart
failure, paralysis, typhoid, pneumonia
and all dreaded diseases may be pre-
vented before the first symptoms app
pear.
A drop of blood from the wrist of an
infant placed before the camera may re-
veal the innermost secrets of the child s
constitution. If the parents suffered

itary disease. physician may be able
to prevent its being developed in the
