ON THREE CONTINENTS
MRS. MARY MINTOSH HAS HAD
VARIED EXPERT
ENCES
CELEBRATION IN AUSTRALIA
She Has Just Come From Witness
ing the Pageants Marking the
Birth of the New Com
mOnVeaIth.

If Mrs Mary Mcintosh, who arrived in
st. Paul yesterday morning to visit her
brother, John e. Boucher of S96 FIRE.
mont street, lives the number Of years the
Bible has allotted to man, she can point
with pride to the fact that those years
have been divided pretty evenly among
three continents. Born and educated in
Limerick, Ireland Mrs. Mcintosh passed
her early married life and middle age in
Sidney, Australia, and now she bids fair
TO finish her days in this country.
An observant little woman is Mrs. Nc
Irtosh with a quaint brogue that sug
gests the earlier Limerick days, and
which contrasts piQuantly with the occa
sional very English expressions Of Brit
ish Sidney. When Mrs. Mcintosh left
Sidney the people had just finished cele-
brating the establishment of the new
commonwealth government which mergeS
in one the provinces of Queensland New
South Wales, South Australia, Western
Australia and Victoria. Lord Hopetoun,
the new governor general, arrived the
week before Christmas, although the Gel
ebration did not begin until New Year S
day, when the new government was for
mally lnaugurated. The celebration last
ed a fortnight. Not only was the parch-
ment on which was written the provision
merging the provinces into a common
wealth on exhibition, but also the
pen with which the queen sign
ed, and the bottle from which
the ink used was taken. The governor
generals residence will pe in Sidney, al
though federated parliament will meet
III. Victoria.
Mrs. Mcintosh pronounces Sidney the
cleanest city she was ever in. In spite
of the fact that it lacks a league of the
gentler sex to look after it's sanitary
condition, that condition could hardly be
improved upon. The streets are thor
oughly cleaned every night, and any one
throwing refuse or waste material of
any sort on the street is arrested and
fined. All the kitchens in the larger resi-
dences are on the top floor, and all the
clothes are dried OF the roof. Cinnamon
were formerly employed as house SER
wants, but since their expulsion from
New South Wales white labor has taken
their place. A poll tax of 9100 is now
levied on any Chinaman who goes into
the province.
When Mrs. Mcintosh left Sidney the
temperature was Sc in the shade. From
Sidney to Frisco the weather was sum-
merry. From Frisco to st. Paul there
was little to be seen but snow, snow-cov-
cred plains and Snow-covered mountains.

many men now living who can remeTn-
Der that as boy; they earned their pocket
money by trapping the odoriferous beasts
along the banks OF the rivers and brooks.
Twenty-Five years ago, good skins sold
readily for from 29.to 80 cents and it
was not difficult matter for youngster
who was on to his Job to take. one or
two daily. He could look after his
traps on the way to school and if ne
was fortunate enough to find a captive,
it took but a few minutes to remove his
jacket with the aid of the sharp knife
which the students in those days in
variably carried in their pocket. There
were times when the teacher of the
school which the yOungster attended
found it necessary to open a window for
the admission Of air less highly periumed
than that Of the room i'll which the en-
b1yo Davy Crockett was sitting, but ais
he never took cold from draughts, 10
matter how severe, he simply smiled
serenely when the Windows went up and
con tinued to think Of the two bits he
was carrying around in his roundabout
Jacket in the shape of a skin which had
been removed from its original owner
but a few hours previous.
During recent years. however. the de-
mand for the skins has abated and good
retts can now be obtained for from 8
to y cents each. Nevertheless, there IS
a lHFINlnR trace In muShrdI SKINS, dnu
during the winter the railroad and eX-
press companies bring in thousands of
skins done up in. great bales.
Russia is the best buyer of this kind of
for. To line one military coat about
seventy five skins would lie required, and
as there are about half a million soldiers
wearing overc0ats in Russia the number
of skins required TO fit them all out
would run up to enormous figures. One
of the largest handlers OF skins in the
city said: We have heard the report
that the czar has indorsed the recon-
msndation of his war minister rs to the
use of muskrat for lining the military
coats, but we are not getting excited
over it. We do not believe the czar in
tends to corner the muskrat market but
if he is out to 90 it we have about 13,00O
in our cellar that we shall be EapDy to
unload to him, as Soon as he gets the
market up around IA cents
