Native Justice.

A comical vindication of the rights of property among the savages of New Guinea was witnessed by mis- sionary, the Rev. James Chalmers. Service was just beginning in the little church when a native boy came in. dressed. with what he considered great nagnifcence. in a shirt. AS the sasages were accustomed to go nearly naked. this garment made the boy very conspicuous.
 The shirt had once belonged to some white man. and the importance it gave the present wearer was ire mendous. But when his glory was at it's height. a bigger boy appeared. hot with rage and carrying a jacket He fell upon the first lad. and began stripping of the shirt. The rest of the congregation. understanding at once that the rightfuI owner had ar rived. gave him not only sympathy but practical aid. They rose to their feet. and those who were near by took part in the stripping process. Presently the true owner was invest ed in shirt and jacket. the c0ngre- eation cooled. and the service went on.-Youth's Companion

LOST AMONG SAvAGES.
White Man Who Lived Among Them For Seventeen Years and Almost
 Forgot His Native Tongue.

In 1s46 the bark Peruvian was wrecked off the coast of Queensland. The story of the one survivor, James Murrell, as told in Marcus Clarke's Australia of the Past" is as strange as the adventures of Robinson Cru soe." For r years Murrell lived among the savages, and all but for got his own language, his name and the memory of his native land.
 At last one day vessel came to the shore while Murren was absent, and the sailors gave shirts to the natives. Murrell told the natives that if ever another ship came and he was not on the spot, they should find him. Another ship did come, and the savages, remembering the wishes of their companion, tried to attract the crew. But the English men, not understanding their wild shouts, fired at them and drove them away. Murrell despaired of ever see ing home again.
 Not long after, white man with two horses came upon some natives lamenting the death of an old man. Possibly he mistook the ceremonies for signs of hostility. At any rate, he shot the old mans son, and for this was murdered by the tribe, who became so suspicious of whites that MurreI had less chance than before of coming face to face with his countrymen.
 He told the natives that the white men fired at them because they did not understand the language, and said that the next time he would go himself and explain. They consent- ed, and Murrell went exploring with the natives, until he came to a white mans hut, many miles down the coast.
 ] Genines clear of the shrub. the ex- ;le saw the smoke of chimney and sheep feeding on the grass. The sight of these strange animals i frightened the native, and he ran back alone.
 Murrell went into a water-hole, where he washed himself as white as he could, and then, standing on the fence, where the dogs could not bite him, he hailed the hut. There were two men living there. One came out and cried, Bill, there's yellow man standing on the rails, naked. He's not black. Bring the gum"
 Murrell cried. Don't shoot! l am a British object,"-for he had so far forgotten his language that he con fused "object" and subject, shipwrecked sailor."
 The two men received him kindly and heard his story. They asked hin if he knew what date it was. He dit not.
 "The twenty-fifth of January, 1863 You have been lost IT years"
 He tried to eat bread, but it choket him. and he had lost his relish fol sugar and tea.
 His white reseuers took him to thu newly made town of Bowen, wher' a subscription was raised for him Later he was baptized. married, an' appointed to a small place as keePe of bonded stores in the government house.

 The renting of Barlow's pond by Gilbert Rodgers for Ice cutting tnls winter proved good business propo- sition for Mir Rogers, as 1t was about the only place in town where ice oi the required thickness could be har- vested. Besides harvesting his own ice he sold the right to several of the farmers to gather theirs. MI Barlow, who always has a keen eye for business, decided he would har' vest some to sell this coming sum- mer. and he had to purchase the right from Mir Rogers at a consid. erable advance over the amount thai he received in the first place.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-03-08

should hardly be necessary to point out that the so-called ''ears" are not really ears, being merely ornamental in nature, and are in no way connect ed with the organs of hearing. These are exceedingly large and complicated. occupying the whole side of the head, and can be readily examined in dead specimen by lifting up the edge of the facial disc. which is quite loose. and covers the ear like flap or shield.
 The most richly mafked and colored long-eared owl I have ever seen was in the geological gardens short time ago: the dark markings of this bird were almost black. and the breast feathers were strongly-contrasted s,reaks of white, ;awny. and black. Its two companions were not nearly so handsome.
