A Typical AustrnIinn Tribe.

Prof. Hadden read paper on the
customs and characteristics of fairly
typical tribe of Australia, the Yari-
kama, of Cape York, North Queens
land. Among the peculiar customs
noted was that children must take the
land" or country" of their mother,
that a wife must be taken from another
country, and that all who belong to the
same place are regarded as brothers
and sisters. Six Yarikanna men were
measured, with average height five feet
four inches. A lad was initiated by the
men of the clan into which he must
subsequently marry. He was anointed
with bush medicine" in the groin,
chest and temples to make him grow.

Drying Linen In balloons.

A Paris laundry has started novelty
in the drying and purifying of linen,
and has succeeded in convincing most
of its customers that the notion is a
good one. The air about 100 feet above
the house tops is particularly good for
linen, say the proprietors, and they
accordingly send for shirts and collars
for balloon trip. Bamboo frames are
attached to n captive balloon, and the
linen, trough dry" is fixed to the
frames and sails away in the air. The
balloon makes six ascents daily, and an
extra charge is made for each article
that undergoes the treatment.

One of the chief reasons for
the republicans trying to violate
the Constitution in its colonial
policy was the fear of immigra-

however, it has been demonstra-

not emigrate to the northerly
counties. immigration to the
United States from the tropics
in the last ten years has been
less than one per cent of the
