SUNDAY BATTLES.

Waterloo, Inkerman, Families and Mall
plaquet Were on the Sabbath.
Some of the most important battles
by land and sea have been fought on
Sundays and the first day, so far as
warfare is concerned, has proved any,
thing but day of rest, says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. The most important
Sunday battle on Land was Waterloo,
which caused the final overthrow of
the great Napoleon, while at sea Lord
Howe inflicted serious defeat on the
French naval forces on Sunday, the
glorious LIST of June, 1894. Inkerman.
the soldiers battle" was another Sun
day victory. 1t was fought on Novem-
Der 5, 1854, between the British and
French against the Russians, when g.,
600 British repulsed a force of $4,000
Russians, of whom 5000 were killed
and wounded.
Among other important Sunday bat
ties were Families, one of Marlbor-
ough's great victories, which was
fought on Whitsunday, May %, 17Oe;
Oudenarde, on Sunday. July II, 17OS,
and Malplaquet, on Sunday, Septem-
Der IL, 1909. The battle of Vimiera
was fought on Sunday, August 81, 1908.

KANGAROO HUNTING.
Riding to Hounds After the Simble
Isrutes In Australia.


Riding to Hounds After the NimbIe
Brutcs In Australia.
There are two ways of hunting kan
garoos in Australia, one followed by
native hunters and the other by white
men. The natives surround a 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 judy
ment, and dogs, horses and men have
been torn open by the nails of it's hind
feet. The white men prefer to follow
the kangaroos with dogs. Every herd
of kangaroos has a leader, known as
the old man or boomer, which warns
its followers OF the approach of dan
ger by stamping the ground with its
hind foot, making a booming sound
that starts all the kangaroos in hear
ing on run. A scared herd will run
twenty or thirty miles at times. or un-
til it reaches safety. A male weighs
from 100 to 175 pounds and is seven
or eight feet long. The English make
up parties of hunters and follow the
kangaroo with dogs somewhat like fox
hounds. 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 seasts had been seen the
day before by bushmen," a Sports
mems Magazine writer says. I'VE came
to the bush, growth of ubiquitous tt
trees and tree ferns, fit to brush one
on 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 in, and
then we rode from the bush into view
of the herds sentinel, and then away
went the kangaroos, followed by the
dogs, and we were at the tail tips of
the dogs. The kangaroos could not
run, but folding their fore legs across
their breasts, they sat down. Then.
with tail and hind legs, away they went
by hops, no hops being less than twen-
ty feet long, and others being more
than thirty feet. They cleared shrubs
twelve feet high. Curiously enough,
the kangaroo travels faster up hill
than down, the dogs catching up on
the down slopes. The beast sometimes
breaks it's 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 sud-
denly for the water. We found the
dogs at water hole with two BOOM
ers al bay. We dismounted, and
drawing our knives, waited an oppor-
tunity to run in and hamstring them.
A dog rushed in and was caught by
a hind leg of boomer and pressed
Under water, where it was quickly
Crowned. Tosn dog got one of the
beasts by the back and threw it, where

while l raped its nose with my whip,
killing it. We had kangaroo tail soup
and steaks for dinner for several days.

A Lamp In His Pocket.

Not very many men carry lamps in
their pockets, but there is at least one
man who does, and that is the lamp
lighter on the elevated road. 1t is an
alcoholic lamp, like section of brass
cylinder five or six inches long and an
inch through, and with slender tube
two or three inches long, holding the
wick, projecting at one end. The
lamp-lighter comes in at the front door
of the car with his lamp lighted.
With rapid ease acquired by expe-
rience he lights the six lamps, SEEM
ing almost not to- pause in his progress
through the car. If he is in the last
car of the train, as he pulls down the
chimney over the last lamp he has
lighted and turns toward the rear door,
he blows out his own lamp and drops
it in his pocket. His hands are now
free. He throws back the door, walks
out upon the platform. opens the gate
and steps of upon the station platform
or down upon the other side, ready to
board the next train. A touch Of a
match Will light the alcohol lamp

One day 1 went to the old lawyer
who had had charge Of our estate for
forty years, and babe him draw me
up will, in which left all that pos

This was the letter:

This note lay unsealed and directed,
ITO be given to Kate Norman after

signed and sealed, and walked home.
At my door the elm shadows lay
thick, and in them stood bent,
