GOOD ADVICE TO WIVES,
Max O'Reil Gives Some PORTS as to
Government of Husbands

Max O'Rell, in his book, Her Royal
Highness, Woman" gives this advice
to wives: ''To rule your husband, my
dear lady, do exactly as you please,
but always pretend that you dc as he
pleases. That is where your ability
comes in. Men are ruled, as children
are, by the prospect CT reward.
The reward of your husband is your
amiability, your sweetness, your devo-
tion and your beauty, of which you
should take constant care.
Always let him suppose that it is
for him that you wish to remain beau
tiful. The woman who believes she is
asserting her independence every
time she puts on hat particularly
displeasing to her husband is as clever
and intelligent as the Irishman who
buys return trip ticket at railroad
Office, and on entering the car re-
marks to the passengers, I have
played good joke on the company
have bought a return ticket, but
don't mean to come back.

Ice Forms Around Iceland.

the island is surrounded by mighty
sheets of g All the fr.hs on the
north and east sides are packed with
ice, and vessel. are cut off from com
munication with the IA. Ddring the
last hundred years the island has
never before bee. SO Tricky circled
with ice and it is feared that the bar
rier may become even greater in ex
tent II this should happen, there is
possibility of famine and in any
case the islanders will find severe
scarcity in many articles OF 1ood and
utility. Meteorologists suppose that
the extraordinary cold of this month
arises from these colossal masses Of
ice around Iceland.

control, the rights of their parents

TO be law nearly 200 years ago, by

THE BOOMERANG.

Three years ago lived close to an
aboriginal camp in New South Wales.
This camp was only about two hun
bred yards from our settlement, and It
was my daily custom to walk over to
the moorong and study the habits of
the black fellows, as the original
natives of Australia are called.
was naturally more interested in
the boomerang than in any other of
their weapons, and with a little
practice soon learned to throw it. In
the language of this tribe, the Wong
ei-bong, which is situated in the
Began river region, the boomerang is
called womera.
l shall therefore call it womera.
The womera is made from what is
technically known as an elbow from
the kurrawung tree, and sometimes
from the yarran and myall trees. All
of these trees belong to the acacia
tribe. and have sweet-scented woods.
The black fellow having found a
suitable elbow, chops it out of the
tree, and, as it is generally too heavy
too carry home, trims it on the spot
into the rough outline of the forth
coming weapon.
After about two hours labor the
womera will be reduced to three or
four pounds weight, but it is still a
long way from being a finished
weapon AS it now appears it is
fiat, heavy club, longer and thinner
ct enc arm than at the other. The
black is a decidedly lazy specimen of
the human species, and he will as
often as not lay aside his uncom-
pleted weapon for a week or perhaps
2 longer period. When he resumes
work the wood will have become
hard and dry. and never once occurs
to him that he is now paying for his
former Incidence Time, however. is
of little or no consequence to the
black.
After some further pairing down
the weapon is charred all over, and
this part of the work is quite skill
fully done, no one part being more
burned than another The charcoal
is Clipped off, and the black fellow
then ticks the weapon all over with
his tongue and places it in a smoky
fire of green bougs, which warns it
and makes it quite pliable.
