Australia Sells For Food tho Rabbit,
She Cannot ExtermInatc.
Everybody has heard of the eytraor
binary ravages of the European rab-
bits. that were introduced into Aus
tralia years ago The animals were
imported SO that the British subjects
who had removed to the antipodes
might enjoy the sport of RABBIT hunt
ing. They had more sport than they
bargained for and the whole country
regrets the days the little animal was
introduced to Australian scenes. There
are many millions OF them now and
tho little nibblers eat the grass, de
stroy fields, orchards and gardens and
are the great nuisance of the country.
The rewards offered by the various
colonies for some sure way Of destroy
ing the pest would make the fortune
Of the man who should discover the
process. Today, however, the Aus
tralians appear to he little more re-
signed under the infliction. The idea
occurred to them, a while ago, that
they might utilize the animal on i
large scale as a commercial commod-
ity. So they set TO work to kill rab-
bits by the thousands, can the meat
and send 1t to Europe in cold storage.
Australian canned rabbit sells at a
cheap price in the British markets and
is beginning to be largely consumed
by those who cannot afford very often
20 indulge in prime beef. Australia
has found a new industry and who
knows but some day, the rabbit may
come to be regarded as one OF the
great resources of the continent
Now York Sun.

"Ltberator, the floor is giving way,
The beams that shore It up are crack

4 few minutes" Keep SILENT" said
O'Connell: then, raising his voice, he

said: Il will tell you the truth; you are

precipitated into the roof below, but II

Cleaning Walls.

The very best material to clean wall
paper and fresco, painted or kalso-
mined walls is stale rye bread. This
bread is used in preference to any
thing else by artists to clean drawings
IN charcoal. There are manufactured
wall cleaners which do this work very
well, but they do tue work no better
than the old-fashioned bread cleaner.
Wheat bread that is two or three days
old will do the work almost as well as
the rye bread, which is sold for the
purpose.
