OF outdoor sports the stations afford
great variety. On the plains there is kan
garoo running and courslng with the great
hares OF the country for the quarry; along
the lakes and rivers there Is abundance OF
wild fowl shooting, while IL other game
falls. there are always the omnipresent
rabbits to fall back upon. Official reports
OF the extent OF the rabbit pest In Aus
tralia read like travellers tales; II may be
enough 10 say that the average annual ex-
pense of the three principal colonies Of
Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania
simply to keep the animals within bounds
Is over 100000. All this trouble came
from the introduction into the country Of
seventeen rabbits of assorted sexes, by
Mr.. Austin. a wealthy station owner near
Geelong. Victoria, who was homesick for
England. and thought the sight of few
familiar Dummies" skipping about his acres
would alleviate the malady. The preserip-
ttcn. as he himself told me, had cost him
in forty years over $250OOO. while the
amounts represented by the losses of sta
tton owners generally on this account are
simply incalcuIable.
The wholesale slaughter of kangaroos for
Their valuable hides has resulted in the
practical extinction of these remarkable
animals except In the remoter regions OF the
country and most visitors make their only
experience of Australia's typical Quadru-
peds In the geological gardens Of the prin-
cipal cities In the back blocks" as the
interior parts Of Australia are called. they

MR. BEAVER HAS 4 NARROW ESCAPE.
BY R. F. AYERS. fCopyright, 1901,l by R. H. Russell.)

MT. Beaver has always had his home In the water and lived on fish, but once, he was m great danger of being obliged to live on dry land, like the other animals.
 Mr. Beaver always built his house on tne bank of stream, but in water deep enough to protect him from any animal that mignt want to disturb him in any way. He could swim as well as n fish, and he caught so many that he and his family were as fat as butter winter and summer, for MT. Beaver could swim along under the ice ID cola weather and catch fish as well as in the hottest summer day. Most of the animals got very thin in the winter except MT; Bear, who made one tremendous meal In the 1all and then slept all through the cold weather. Mir. Squirrel, who stored up so many nuts that he has plenty to last until spring; also the Beaver family.
 One day lot of fishes got together and held council as to how they could keep from getting caught by Mir. Beaver, for as he fished every day and had such large family, all with large appetites for nsh, he caught more than all the other fishermen to- gether. The fishes talked for long time without coming to any conclusion, but finally MT. Sucker. whom they all thought very silly, proposed plan.
 We must send word to all the fish in the river that live above MT. Beavers house., he said. ''fhey must get together and drink all the water as It comes down the river and Beavers house. They will leave the river dry there and his house will be out of the water. Then when the other animals find that they can get at him they will make an end of him soon enough" The other fishes agreed that this sounded reasonable enough, fish above Mir. Beavers house should drink the water before 1t could come down. The fishes up the river drank and drank. and be- fore long they were full; but they had talk n

all the water, and, as the water below Mir. Beavers house had kept on flowing down It was built so that while the door was under the water the roof and the upper rooms stuck out of the water like little island; {; but now when all the water had come down stream there was nothing between the house and the dry land.
 ''I wonder what this means?" said Mir. stream at all, and the river bottom is abso- lutely dry. I would be in a fine fix if any one should come along here now, when there Is no water to keep them away from my house." Just then he looked toward the bank and he saw Mir Wolf coming through the trees, directly toward the river. Mir. Beaver sat still on top of his house and did a lot of thinking.
 What is this?" said Mr. Wolf, when he came to the edge of the bank and saw that the river was dry. "Where has all the water gone?''
 T wanted to repair my house little, so l stopped the water coming down for a while," said Mir. Beaver.
 ''That is nice thing to do" said Mr. Wolf. ''1 came here to get drink and find no water. You don't seem to consider anyone but yourself. I really think you and your family should be punished severely, so I shall eat you all at once, just to show you that this is free country" He made jump at Mir. Beaver, but he was too late, for Mr. Beaver ran in the door of his house and bolted and locked it behind him.
 Mir. Wolf tried his best to push the door in but it was fast. Then he climbed to the top of the roof and, after great deal of trou ble, broke hole in it; but this did not help him at all, for when he put his long arm through the hole he received bite in the. fingers from Mir. Beaver that made him howl with pain. This made Mir. Wolf almost crazy. for he was many times larger than Mir Beaver, and felt ashamed that. he could not catch him when he had such good chance. He commenced to tear at the roof with both hands, and before long he had a hole big. enough for his head and shoulders. He worked faster than ever, and after a while the hole was so large. that he could get through 1t, so he jumped in and found himself in MT. Beavers. garret, but there was no sign of MT. Beaver or any of his family. Mir. Wolf found the stairs, and got down them after a great deal of trouble. and, much to his surprise, found himself in water up to his knees, with none of the Beaver family to be seen anywhere. Mir. Wolf was so surprised at this that he hardly knew what to do, but the water kept getting deeper so rapidly that he had to jump for the stairs as fast as he could without looking for the Beaver family any longer. When he reached the hole in the roof and crawled out on the top of the house he saw water all around him. The river was just as high as | it ever was! This was what happened: The fishes up the river had found that the water l kses com,s0 sssm above, and although they

II.-ALEXANDER HAMILTON.

On January II, 1757, on little island in the West Indies, Alexander Hamilton was born. At 10 years of age he was obliged to earn his own living, for his father was ex- tremely poor and his mother dead He se- cured an unenviable position as "store boy" with one of the merchants of the island. He did not like this at all, for the work was terribly hard, the hours long, and he was scarcely able to perform his many duties, for he was short and slight. He was very fond of study, and he had almost no chance at all to open book.
 Still, he did his work so well, In spite of his dislike for it, that his employer became very fond of him and taught him to keep accounts. When Alexander was IA his em- ployer made long journey on business. leaving the little ''store boy" in scle charge of the business at home. Alexander was now buster than ever, but he found time to study some books loaned him by kind clergyman.
 A fearful storm swept over the island soon after, leaving death and ruin behind it. Alexander wrote such a brilliant account of the disaster that it was quickly printed in a papec of a neighboring island, and caused wide comment when it was learned that it's author was a little ''store boy" Some wealthy men were so impressed with the boys cleverness and ability that they

at each other.
 ''I think we had better begin by getting acquainted" continued Helen. If you will come forward in classes as you were the last time you came to school I can learn your hines more easily and that will save us all trouble and mistakes. I will call the young est class first" Five boys and two girls, averaging II years of age, came forward. Helen sat down on chair behind the desk, but as her weight rested on the cane seat, the whole chair collapsed with a crash and Helen fell ignominiously to the floor. She sprang mp in a minute, her face crimson, and was amazed that not a single eye was turned in her direction. Every one was looking toward the rear of the room, where two of the young men were having furious altercation. Both were over twenty years of age, tall and powerfully built. ''Ye did do et," cried one. II seen ye sneakin' about there"
 None uv your concern what dun," re- wanter."
 ''Ye will, will ye?" screamed the first. "1'1l teach ye ter play tricks on the teacher" In moment they were locked in each others grasp and rolling on the floor, to the ap- parent delight of every one but Helen. She stood for moment completely dsmayed by this inauspicious occurrence at the very be- aisle and reached the struggling young men. "Oh, don't, Please don't!" she cried How can get along at all if you act like that:

the front door furnished the only means of entrance. Inside were about 30 boys and girls of varying ages. The youngest of the lot waJ about ten years old, while the others steadily assembled until a blushing giant Of e4 marked the age limit in that direction.
 Helen was the target for every pair of eye In the room, the boys seeming astonished 1t her youth, and the girls greedily eyelns every item of her dress, which was of i quality, style and cut that none of them had syer seen before. Helen walked to a rough desk that seemed to be the teachers and ar ranged her books very carefully In order to nide her confusion. Then she looked toward lhe little gathering which was awaiting i'm patiently for her to address them. Bud and Miss stood together in corner grinning sncouragingly.
 T am very glad to see that there are so many of you ready to start" began Helen. Bud and Miss have told me all about FOL- and how you played some perfectly ir,s,dfal tricks on the teachers you have mad. Now, I hope you will not play any tricks on me, for I do not intend to try to be teacher. I am only a girl who has hap ,ened to be sent to the very best of schools.
