Losses by Drought in Australia.

The wheat harvest of 1902 in New
South Wales is only one-tenth of the
harvest Of 1901, and this represents a
loss to the wheat growers of over e.
100000. The losses in grain, hay and
vegetables are at least as great in the
aggregate, while the disasters of the
pastoral industry are on a yet more
tragical scale In the focks and herds
of the state there is decrease Of

WRONG Foot Out Of Bed.

About half the world puts the wrong
foot out of bed in the morning. But
which is the wrong foot? 1t is a
superstition as old as the hills that
If the left foot touches the floor first
you will have bad luck that day.
Probably many men avoid this by
sleeping on the right side of the bed,
so that in rising the right foot natur-
ally comes first in contact with the
floor. 1t is said to be fact that most
people lie on their right side because
of the prevalent rotion that the heart
