Charley found laying around

idea struck him that il would be

powder and shoot it off.
He accordingly filled up one OF
the holes. and without stopping
up the holes, he struck a match

His face was over the hole at the
time and the powder blew up iuto

Loss Of Sheep In Australia

The Australasian Banking Record
gives some extraordinary figures relat-
to sheep raising in Australia. 1t appears
that during the past eight years the
stock of sheep in the Australian Fedora
ton has diminished from I'D, 500, 900 to
less than 100000, and that it is now
probably less owing to the destruction
by fire of the Queensland pastures last
year. AT the end of 1899 there were, ac-
cording to Government returns, 1885,
47o sheep in Queensland; and the num-
Der is now estimated at only little more
than half. But for the advance in price
OF wool owing to the South African War
and other causes, it is said that bank
ruptcy must have overtaken the SQUAT
tiers and sheep raisers; and the damage
to the industry must in any case take
years to repair. The same number OF
the Record which gives the figures of the
losses of sheep states that the indebted.
ness OF the Australian population to the
banks ! is now about $as per head, which

WaIIington,s cndson.


The Duke of Connaught, though he
preserves as neither the king nor any of
his sister have done, a look of real youth
and vigor, has just entered his ffty-frst
year. AS the godson and namesake of
the great Duke of Wellington, it was
very early decided that Queen Victoria's
third son must have military vocation,
and, fortunately for himself, he seems to
have taken very kindly to the idea. His
refusal of the Saxe-Coburg- Gotha Sue
cession caused no surprise among his
friends and those Of his young son, but
Germany cynics declared that the Duke
of Connaught did not forget in the cir
cumstance his close connection with the
Belgian throne, to which he is next heir
after Prince Albert of Flanders.
