AUSTRALIA AND IT'S PEOPLE,

Australia contains an area of about
100000 square miles. or nearly that of
the United States exclusive of Alaska.
Before Europeans went to Australia
the natives never in any situation culti-
waited crops for food. They never raised
any cattle or had any domestic animal
except the dog.
One of the most notable character
isties of the Australian continent IS its
scarcity of rivers and fresh. water lakes.
The entire central part of the continent
Is "A plain. SO destitute of water courses
rs to be almost desert.
The aborigines of Australia form II
distinct race from that inhab,ing the
most of the islands of the Indian archi-
pclago. They are found only in Aus
tralia. New Guinea. the New Ilrhridcs.
New Caledonia and the Solomon islands
Many attempts have been made ia
civilize the Australian natives. but with
little success. They readily adopt the
European dress. but have Il great aver
SION 10 any regular labor. aud even the
youth are but slightly susceptible to in
structdon.
Australia was first visited during the
seventeenth century. and in the latter
half OF the eighteenth century was cX-
plored along the coast, while in lTsS
colonization began by the trarsporta.

African negro, nor is his nose 30 fiat
and his hair is black and curly. but no,

The Australasiars never had bows
and arrows. but were expert in the use
of the spear, and one of their peculiar

THE SPRING SKIRTS
They Have ShcnthIilsc Eject About
the Hips and Flare ut
the Foot.

All the new spring skirts are made
with the sheathlike effect around the
hips and in the back. with plenty Of
flare around the foot. This style Of
skirt necessitates a very careful choos-
ing of undergarments, but that prob
lem is being rapidly solved and the
women are looking rather better in
consequence. The new skirts have the
front breadths narrow at the top, quite
wide at the foot, and the sides cut cir
cular or gored. In these respects there
are not many decided changes; the
trimmings of the skirt, however, are
rather different. The fiat bands and
the folds are still used and also some
braiding, but all these trimmings are
put on quite differently. The newest
skirts are on the overslirt plan. There
is always a petticoat (generally and
preferably silk one) thatis finished at
the hem with one or more plated
ruflles. Above the ruffle is sewed a
scant bias founce of the material of
the skirt, finished only with hem,
the skirt Of the gown then being at
tached to the belt of this same silk pet
ticoat. This skirt is almost as long,
but is cut up at the sides SO that 1t
shows the full depth Of the flounce on
the silk lining. Some of the skirts
are cut in n point In front and then
long at the back. There Is, fortunate
ly, no attempt at draping as yet, but
there is no question but that before
long we will be back again in the hor-
ror of draped and furbelowed over
skirts.
The new silk skirts fit very close and
fare out around the foot. They are
exaggerated, and it Is not wise to in
vest in them rashly-indeed, most Of
the new styles that are brought out
are exaggerated, and It is not well for
anybody who has to consult economy
to buy before they are certain that the
style will remain in fashion for time.
1t is all very well for a woman who
has lot of money to spend to buy any
thing that strikes her fancy, but these
exaggerated styles do not stay in fash
ion long, and it is best to be patient II
one has to be economical.
There are a great many graceful and
effective skirts to be bought just now
ready made Of peau de sole, satin, large
figured brocade and the heavier quail
ity of taffeta. These are made in long,
graceful lines; are always en- train;
have no trimming except band of
jet paillettes sewed just around the
hem, are very dainty and are good bar
gains.-N. Y. Sun.

MUSICIANS AND THEIR HAIR.

Wind instruments, especially the cor
net and trombone, are fatal to heavy
heads of hair.
Certain music prevents the hair frou!
falling. according to one scientist
while other kinds have disastrous eff
feet.
Composers lose their hair like ordi'
nary artists, but composers who per.
form their own works on the piano al
ways have luxurious locks.
The violoncello and harp keep the
hair in pretty well, but the flute cannot
be depended upon. A number OF
pianists, including Paderewski, are
cited by a scientist in confirmation Of
this theory.
