QUEENSLAND CUISINE
Aboriginal Methods Of Procuring and
Eating Their Food.

A bulletin, prepared by DR.. Roth,
dealing with the search, capture and
preparation of food by the aborigines
of Queensland, affords some interest
ing reading, says the London News.
In cookery and the care of the table
if one may be permitted to use the
expresion-the aboriginal displays
a width of choice which, if not attrac-
tive to civilized palates, has at least
the merit of variety. For meats they
employ roasting, baking and boiling,
and DR.. Roth has seen grilling prac-
ticed at Atherton and Cooktown.
Roasting is, perhaps, the simplest and
easiest method, the meat being just
thrown upon the ashes, while in bak-
ing the use of hot stones is common
ly resorted to. Boiling is done in a
bark trough, or more usually in a
large shell, and for grilling a grid Of
crossed sticks is formed.
Clay from the ant hills is used to
"fill up" when no other edible sub
stance is available, and apparently a

sight is not always the best sight.
An estate agent sent customer to
look at a five-roomed house, that be-

The house proved to be sadly out Of

LOGICAL AND UNANSwERABLE
Little Folk Reason Well But from False
Premises

Little folks often show that their
apparently foolish sayings are the re-
suit of deep and logical thought, and
instructors are beginning to see that
instead of dismissing these childish
statements as unworthy of attention
1t is wise to encourage them and look
carefully into the causes Of the appar-
emily illogical reasonings, says the
Milwaukee Sentinel. In nine cases
out Of ten it will be found that the
conclusion arrived at by the child is
the result of careful thought correct
ly reasoned out and that the error is
due to false premise due to mex
perience rather than lack of careful
thought. 1t is now believed that the
child is naturally an accurate reasoner
although the oft times funny results
arrived at would hardly seem to JUS
tify such conclusion.
Illustrations bearing out this by
pothesis are daily in evidence in all
families where children are to be
found and many of the thoughts enc
mating from juvenile minds are
worthy of careful consideration by
the elders who oft times discourage
the youthful learners and frequently
dwarf mental progress by laughing at
the queer sayings Of the little folks
and shamjng them into future silence.
An Illustration in point was OBJ
served on the South side the other
day. A sixyear-old girl was talking
to her mamma on the subject Of a
baby sister, eight months of age.
Mamma" said Lucille, with APP
parent irrelevance, 81 don't see how
grandpa can talk"
"Why not, dear?" asked the
mother.
Because he hasn't got any teeth"
was the artless rejoinder.
"My dear child! People do not
need their teeth for talking. The
teeth are for eating. People talk
with their tongues"
"Well," came the unanswerable re-
tort from the child, "baby's got a
tongue, and she can't talk"

white clay Ia form of kaolin) is con-
sidered rather as a delicacy. After
being dug out Of the earth it is care
fully pounded and sifted, so as to
render it quite smooth and free from
grit. 1t is next placed in a bark
trough, and by the addition of water
worked into stiff paste. This paste
is then made into cake, placed in the
sun for six or eight days, eventually
wrapped in leaves, buried in the ashes
and a hot fire made over it. When it
is cool it is ready for eating, and is
devoured with gusto. Green ants,
as well as their larvae, are eaten as
food, as well as medicine, in some To-
calities. Great ingenuity is dis
played in the capture Of fish, for
which several methods are employed.
Translation with the feet is common
on some portions of the Georgina and
other creeks, while muddying the wa
ter with the feet and then hitting the
fish as they come to the surface is
a common procedure everywhere
The practice Of poisoning" the Wa
ter by special plants and capturing
the fish as they come to the surface is
also fairly common.

A COMMON NAME.
Many Shakespeares Even Before the Birth
of the Poet.

Many Shskespeares Even Before the Birth
of the Poet
1t may come as a surprise TO some
folk TO find how common a name that
of Shakespeare not only is, but was
long before the birth of the poet. At
least three thirteenth century Shake
speares are known, and there is pos
sible fourth. In the next century
ther are notices of bearers Of the name
at Penrith and Nottingham, where a
John Shakespeare was a plaintiff in
1857 against Richard de Cotgrave,
spicer, for deceit in the sale of dye
wood, and recovered damages; in
Warwickshire - "Thomas Shake
speare, felon, who had had left his
goods and fled"-at Youghal, Col
chester, Pontefract and elsewhere.
Fifteenth century occurrences Of the
name are also fairly numerous, and
when we come TO the succeeding age,
Immediately preceding and partly in
Guiding the poets own era, Mrs
Slopes shows plainly that there were
Shakespeare all over the country.
The frequent occurrence Of the name
is, Of course, warning of the value
lessness Of the attempts which have
been not infrequently made to con-
meet the poet with this or that fam
lily on the grounds Of similarity Of
name or age.-Antiquarian.

The man who brings out new hat
almost invariably remarks when some
body with an investigating turn of
mind asks him where he got it, how
much it cost, etc: "Oh, I've had that
hat for about month now. It's far
from being new"
However, the same hat, when care
fully scrutinized, does not show any
signs of wear and generally looks as
spick and span as when it came from
the packers box. If you question the
owners statement as to the time of
his possession, he will usually tell you
that he has not worn it, but it has
been around the house for ut least
thirty days.
A woman is different When she
gets new bonnet, she is anxious to

He Wanted a Cab.

Masons will appreciate the humor
Of this story: Few men in Brooklyn
were better known or more liked than
Sherlock, proprietor of The Abbey, an
enormously fat Amphitryon, whose
feasts were never interrupted by Of
ficious Jupiters. When Sherlock was
initiated into his lodge in Brooklyn
the night was fearfully hot. On that
famous pilgrimage to Jerusalem which
all initiates are required to make his
perspiration rolled off in torrents,
leaving a watery trial behind him.
Blindfolded he staggered along, in
wardly praying for relief. The con-
ductor, not shortening the journey an
iota, but rather drawing out the
agony, happened to be an old &C.
quaintance of Sherlock, who finally
recognized his voice. When he said:
Now, gentlemen"-there were sever
al initiates in the party-"your Jour
ney is nearly ended; you are within
120 miles Of jerusalem" Sherlock
gasped, George, don't you think we'd
better hire a cab?" The utter weari-
ness, wretchedness, anguish and de-
spair in the voice caused an explosion
that broke up the ceremony.-New
York Press.
