and another collapsed as soon as ne had left the box. Later witnesses were therefore allowed to sit anl were frequently refreshed by a glass Of w,.- ter, which they would empty at sin gie gulp. Their evidence was given in pidgln English, interpreted by a police inspector, who was Protector of Aborgines for that district,
 The counsel for Che defence had the advantage of having lived for some time among the blacks when a2y, and could consequently make aIdisoif easily understood b. them. "YoI sab- ha longa me now, was his iuyima,;Va that they were now to speak 70 aim
 instead of to his learned brother You tell me straight no tell lies" was ,u,
 neient to emphasize the import9nas pf truthful answers. Several peculiarl- ties in llguistic usage came uut dtr- ing the examineion. The wituesses used the word lose as a enpAemisn for die" and kin in pace of strike It mad the oldest effect to hear how one man would kin the Sth- er. and then the tether would rss talate by killing him,
 Two peculiar characterist'eT noted tby the writers ona ~, riginal eust3ms were Illustrated m this trial (jne was the blacks Inability to count At one point it was desred to ascertain
 what time elapsed between ,he death of the victim ani the giing,f infor- l nation to the mag-sR, iTs.e.

 So, too, the time of day at which aay
 event happened was indicated nat by
 mention of the h1ar. but by painting 1U0 ID6 QudIttI WIIsg AhC sun W dos The other characteristic especially illustrated was the reluctance of the friends of the dead man to mention
 his name after he Is gone. It is stat
 ed by one of the latest authorities on
 aboriginal practices, N. w Thomas,
 that to mention the name of dead
 man is thought equivalent to sum
 moning his ghost, and that to avoit such calamity words once familia will even be allowed to drop perman ently out of use. In this case Bill Lees "lubra" never once referred t. her dead husband by name in the whole of her evidence. She spoke of him invariably as dead man" Ii lit was uncanny to hear of a man kill ling his antagonist after he had all
 ready been killed himself, it gave one
 no less of creepy feeling when this
 woman told how dead man" ate his
 dinner or walked outside his tent oi took up his boomerang.

DUEL WITH BooMERANGs.
Story of Deadly Encounter Between
 Australian Aborigines.

I was visiting at Port Augusta when the Chief Justice came to that town to hold the assizes, writes cor respondent of the London Field Port Augusta is almost on the border of the desert. In the immediate ne,gh- borhood there was growing In profu- sion the salt bush," which sup ports the life of the sheep during drought, and the tempting 'prlckly jack" weed good to look upon but accursed to the farmer, as its point ed spur works havoc among the feec- es. Close by we saw prosperous ostrich farm and number of camsls, with their Afghan drivers about to start on a journey still further north.
 The strange impression of this jux- deposition of old and new was deep ened by the nature of the principal case for trial. It was a charge against Jimmy Wonyilta of the murder of Billy Lee, both aborigines. The story of the crime was not complicat- ed. A quarrel seemed to have arisen through the refusal of the deceased, though of mature years, to submit to initiatory rites which technically made him young man" The witnesses were careful to speak of him always as boy" though 1t was testified ti.at he had few gray hafrs.
 The actual conflict between the two men was conducted with much of the punctiho of duel Each of them was armed with what is commonly called the double boomeraug"; strictly speaking, it should rather be called club in boomerang form It is large and somewhat heavy weap- on, not intended as a missile at all; but used to inflict blow which must be delivered only against the head The inviolable etiquette of such en- counters demands that each combat ant in turn shall bend his head to the attack, not attempting to repay itaun- til he has steadily suffered his own chastisement Blow thus solemnly alternates with blow, until the man with the stronger arm and harder had ss laft tbe victor Tn thiq nr deal Billy Lee succumbed.
 The witnesses in this trial were of course mainly aborigines themselves, for the crime was committed in one of their camps. Their demeanor was extremely nervous. Again aud again they had to be exhorted to hold up their heads and to speak clearly One of them, a strong man with dents upon hies head suggesting a long ex- perience of boomerang duels, faintei in the course of giving his eyidease,

NEW USE FOR
 OLD SIDEBOARDS

A new use for the old Chippendale sideboards that are now considered too small to serve in the capacity for which they were originally intended, is to convert them into dressing tables, and most attractive and serviceable dressers do they make, with their rows of small drawers at each side and the large space on top for the innumerable silver and ivory jars, boxes and tlasks tHat are so necessary for milady's toil- cite. A glass top can be fitted for this dresser, if desired, and laid over a cover of fine filet lace and embroider- ed linen, or else placed directly upon the wood if it is of particularly hand some marking.
