Story Of the introduction Of Rabbits
Into Australia.

Australia wants population, but 1t
wants men and women, not rabbits.
The British Australian tells the story
of the coming of the rabbit, in re-
Spouse to certain sporting men of
Victoria, who wanted something fresh
to kill. Manning Thatcher made three
attempts to bring rabbits from Eng
land. When he succeeded at last the
sportsmen had forgotten their want.
They were probably shooting the
moon. Mr.. Thatcher could not dispose
of his wares. SO on one. hot after
noon he and his companions, left
with considerable burden of unsold
wares on their hands, suddenly de-
cided to rid themselves once and for
all of the creatures, which had by this
time reached the dimensions of white
elephants" The rabbits were turned
loose. They remembered the injunc-
ton to be fruitful and multiply. They
did 1t. And they devastated Aus
tralia. Mr.. Thatcher was given a
medal to commemorate the gratitude
of Victorians for his introduction of
rabbits. And now Australia is excited
over a French poison that will kill
nothing but rabbits

Holy City and Its Inhabitants Failed
on Evil Ways.

Miss Helen M. Smith entertained a
large company in the ballroom of the
Tuileries this morning by an animated
description of the far eastern coun-
tries, says the Boston Transcript. She
presented pictures of places rich in
classic and biblical interest-Constan-
tinople, Smyrna (where the tomb of
Polycarp isl, the ruins of the temple
of Diana at Ephesus, Jaffa and Jeru-
salem We're all described in wonderful
ly entertaining fashion.
There was narration of the grad
ual climb of four hours to the latter
city which is 5000 feet above the sea.

ing impression during this journey.
Jerusalem" said Miss Smith, cannot
fail to disappoint-grieve one with
ideals. There is so much dirt, deprav-
ity and deceit; so many Calvaries, so
many graves from which the stone
was rolled away! There is only one
Gethsemane, but it is a tawdry, arti.
fetal place-in no sense the secluded
spot where the suffering Savior wept

looks as it did 1900 years ago. 1t was.

Jerusalem to-day is surely in need
Of an enlightened prophet who will rid
the city of its filth, bring healthy con-
ditions to it's half-blind children, and a
better sense of right to its morally de-

stanIey's Cat.

1t is "a good story of Henry M.
Stanley, after his return from Africa,
when writing his Dark Continent"
He used to spread his reference maps
on the floor Of his room and one day,
after searching for a map which he
much needed, he spoke to his assist
ant, who found it near the Preside,
with Stanley's cat on 1t asleep. He
started to turn the cat off, when
Stanley said: Never mind-don't
disturb the cat. I'll get along with
out the map until the cat wakes up"
The cat slumbered on, and not until
she rose did the famous explorer
reach for his map.

THE TRAGEDIES OF PARIS.
Record of the Seamy Side Of the Gay
French Capital.

From 1000 to 1900 bodies are re-
oeived in the mo-gue in Paris every
year. These represent suicides and
murders, and not the deaths that oc-
cur in the ordinary course of events.
And of these self-slaughterers nearly
half are drownings, which means that
every day at least two persons jump
into the Seine; two poor wretches
who have failed to find life worth liv-
ing In the months of October and
November suicides by drowning in
Paris are double what they are the
remainder of the year. The prospect
of having to suffer the hardships of
another winter, begging about in the
cold and sleeping out in the snow, is
too much for many fate-cursed wan
derer. An interesting fact revealed
by the suicide statistics of Paris is
that women show decided dislike to
drowning as a means of violent death.
Four times as many men as women
are fished out Of the Seine. The rec
ords show that asphyxiation is the ia

Although the present universal
