ABORIGINAL HUNTERS.
How Native Australians Mount Trees
In Pursuit of Game.

One of the old customs of the ma
tiVes of Australia is described by
the author of "The Coming of the
British to Australia" 1t is one of
their methods OF hunting when in
search of food and is practiced only
by the Australian aborigines.
The natives catch the OpOssum,
kangaroo rat, flying squirrel and
other animals which live in the
trunks of hollow trees by cutting
notches in the trees and climbing
after them. Most of these animals,
being nocturnal, sleep during the
day and therefore become an easy
prey to the hunter, who can tell by
the freshness of the scratches on
the stem OF the tree when tie ami
NAL assembled it.
What expert climbers the aborig-
ines are may be guessed by the
height of the trees, the blue gum,
measuring sometimes over sixty feet
in one smooth shaft.
Unslinging his stone hatehet
from his belt, the native prepares
to climb the tree, cutting notches as
he ascends.
The first and second notches are
cut as he stands on the ground, the
first notch being level with the
thigh on the left hand. the second
opposite the right shoulder. The
two cuts are made with the hatchet,
to form each notch. one slanting,
the other horizontal. Into these

LUDlcRoUs LEGAL LORE.
A Legend Of the Early Jurisprudenee
OF Michigan.

The early history OF the juris-
prudence of Michigan, if faithfully
chronicled. would furnish forth an
entertainment abounding with the
soul and point of humor. Many of
these little legends yet float around
the scenes which have given birth
to them and serve sometimes to
give zest to a bar dinner or to en-
liven bar meeting. Among them
is the following:
Judge B., plain and worthy
man, but no lawyer. was once coun-
ty Judge of Oakland under the old
system. A case came on for trial
before him on one occasion ID
which the action was founded in
tort, and the plea of the defendant,
which was special, was such as to
give him the affirmative OF the Is
sue, upon the strength of which he
claimed the right to open and close
the case This point was denied by
the counsel for the plaintiff, "who
never in the whole course of his
practice had heard of such IN enW-
mitv as the defendants presuming
to open the case" Authorities were
brought and cited, however, and the
judge, after mature consideration,
determined that such was the de-
fendant's right and so pronounced
his decision. After short pause,
during which the plaintiff was
grumbling his dissatisfaction, the
court told the defendants lawyer
to go on.
"Your honor" said he, rising, 81
am not quite ready to open the case.
When | get ready will let the oth
er side know" This opened, il not
the case, at least the eyes and
mouth of the other side, who sprang
to his feet and beloved forth de-
nunciation upon the stupidity OF
the judge, whose absurd decision
had placed him IN such II dilemma.
"You see, your honor, what you
have done. You have actually
placed the case in the hands Of the
defendant. He took possession OF
our oxen. and when We brought an
action to recover them he took pos
session of that also" Il cant help
it, sir" said the learned judge, with
great stcrnness. The decision is
made. and it is too late to alter it.
The law must take its course. You
must Withdraw your action and sue
again"
"If he does, your honor" said the
defendants counsel. 81 shall plead
the pendency OF this action in bar
and beat HIM" "Then, Mr.. -
said the judge, 81 see no other way
for you but to sit down quietly and
wait till the defendant gets ready
to try this case" The plaintiff took
the judges advice, but the time

he is waiting yet. - Philadelphia

Aneient Locks ard Kew.

Locks were used in the time of
the Pharaohs. AT Karnak the Wis
itor is shown the scuiptured repre-
sentation of a Iock which is almost
exactly likc the kind % lock used in
Egypt at the present day. Homer
says that Penelope used a brass key
to open her wardrobe. He adds that
it was very crooked and had an
ivory handle. A Greek writer who
lived in the last half of the twelfth
century explains that such keys
were undoubtedly very ancient, al
though still to be seen in Constant
nople and elsewhere. Roman locks,
like the Egyptian, required a partial
sliding of the key. They were, how
ever, more intricate.

Evil Effects of Bad Highways Are

The good roads idea has come to the
front for popular discussion very en-
phatically lately and Is the subject of
much favorable comment In the edi-
torial columns Of the daily press, writes
Alexander N De Meni1 In the st. Louis

population and business to the citizen
and new improvements and Increased
taxable wealth to the state.

views, but to speak for the dead by
quotation. l wish to add by revival

Kate Fields Washington, and here
with transcribe 1t in all its masculine
virility and impetuosity, suggesting its
further usage to the advocates of good
roads:
"Why these rnving lunatics and driv-
cling idiots? Because bad roads pre-
vented them from forming companion
ship when young; because bad roads
prevented them from going to good
schools when young; because bad roads
kept them away from civillzing enter
tainment and instruction; because bad
roads imprisoned them half year and
made church and newspapers well nigh
impossible; because the bad roads pre-
vented them from learning how to cook
