PROFITING BY A PEST.
Australia Sells For Food the Rabbits
She Cannot Exterminase.

Everybody has heard of the extraor-
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
the 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 be little more re-
signed under the in1iction. The idea
occurred to them, while ago, that
they might utilize the animal on
large scale as commercial commod-
ity. So they set to work to kill rab-
bits by the thousands, can the meat
and send it 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
to indulge in prime beef. Australia
has found a new industry and who

The Australian Rabbit Pest.

Eva Gordon, a school girl, daughter
of the chief inspector of stock of
Queensland, in writing to some Kan
sas school children from Brisbane, the
capital of that country, has this to say
of the rabbit pest OF Queensland:
About twenty Or thirty years ago two
or three pairs of rabbits were imported
into Queensland. Now they go about
in millions, eating as they go, and leav-
ing the ground without a blade of
grass. In this country they also climb
trees and eat the bark, SO that there is
no vegetation at all left for the sheep
and cattle where the rabbits have been.
The squatters must have wire-netting
fences all around their runs that is
what you would call ranches. Men have
also been sent out by the government
to poison rabbits, and hundreds of dead
ones are to be seen often on a small
area. The rabbits burrow in the ground,
so the fences have to be put sufficient
ly under the ground to prevent their
getting underneath. kansas City

of red poinsettia, provided with a cir
cular flower piece below, is sometimes
used to frame circular plate glass

gested by a florist might consist of a
fairy lamp set i'll the midst Of bank
of pink roses and ferns, the three
arched pieces being brought over the
lamp and united in one piece to sup
port scattering cluster OF roses and
asparagus. The arches themselves
should be trimmed with the feathery
asparagus, with here and there g pink
rosebud interviewer with the green.

of ribbon shaped to look like large

box and backed by tall bow of green

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
we'll, but they do the work no better
than the old-fashioned bread cleaner.
Wheat bread that is two or three days
old will do tie work almost as well as
the rye bread, which is sold for the
