sunday Laws Of Australia.

Melbourne, Australia, has some laws
which are wonders. One Of them pro-
hibits the opening Of any cafe on Sun.

and the unwary American who may
not know this finds himself suddenly
high and dry without thing to eat
till II. So he soon learns, If he's In
lodgings. to sleep till IL and then for
age forth.
Another nice thing that contributes
to the hilarity Of the Sundays here
and the gayety of nations generally
Is that there are no street cars running
till after o'clock on Sundays. All
the steam roads bring thousands Of
people into the city, but they have to
walk once they are inside the city
limits.
And If you buy bakers cakes and
pies to be taken away from the prem.
ises you may only buy them between
I and 3 Sunday afternoons. And you
may not invite friends to dinner with
you In Sydney, which Is In New South

at all clear, you are breaking the Sun

There is much to be said against the
New York cabby, but there are fire.
quent occasions when one is really de-
serving Of sympathy. The other day a
cabby drove well dressed and re-
fined looking woman to a Broadway
restaurant, where she ordered an ex-
pensive lunch and then told the waiter
that she had lost her purse, but that
her cab was waiting and If he would
send a boy with her she would go
home for the money. The boy entered
the cab with her, and she directed the
cabby to drive to q Sixth avenue de-
partment store. When they arrived
she left the boy In the cab, entered the
store to make an imaginary purchase
and went ont at the opposite entrance.
In the hope of getting information
about his departed fare, cabby drove
back to the restaurant, accompanied
by the brass buttoned boy, whom he
blackguarded all the way for letting
the woman escape. The restaurant
people discharged the lad for the same
reason, and the driver cried quits

Muskrats.

Rare old Captain John Smith In his
quaint History of New England and
the Summer Isles," published in Lon
don in 1924. gives probably the first
written account of the muskrat. He
says that "the mussacus Is beast of
the form and nature of our (English)
water rat and adds that "some of
them smell exceedingly strong OF
musk" These animals may be caught
In almost any sort Of trap baited
with sweet apples or parsnips. Musk.
rats have very strong teeth and can
use them on wood effectively, SO it is
wise to protect all corners and cracks
In your wooden traps with pieces OF
tin or sheet iron. They have good
noses and can smell an apple long
distance off. Place your traps in the
shallow water at the edge Of the mill
pond or stream inhabited by these rats
and they will doubtless find it without
difficulty. Young muskrats are very
gentle and playful and may be handled
without fear. They do not grow fierce
with age if reared in captivity and &C.
customed to gentle treatment.

about his beliefs and his medicines.
Wherever he has gone, people have
called upon him by tens Of thousands,
and his preparation has sold in i'm.

Comets In Olden DAYS,

People nowadays do not regard the
comet as one Of those signs that fore
run the death or fall Of kings, but the
superstition was still current in the
time Of Queen Elizabeth, though, to
the amazement Of her courtiers, the
queen calmly scorned it. 1t was also
thought that if the sovereign would re-
frain from looking at the malignant
celestial passerby no harm would come
to her. On one occasion Elizabeth's
attendants shut and curtained her win
dows, but her majesty, as might have
been expected, with "a courage an
swerable to the greatness Of her es-
tate" caused them to be opened, cry
ing as she looked up: "Jacta est alea-
the die Is casty' Then, like King Knut
on the seashore, she read her people a
hOmily, asserting that her "steadfast
hope and confidence were too firmly
planted in the providence Of God to be
blasted or affrighted with those beams
which either had no ground in nature
whereupon to rise or at least no war
rant in Scripture to portend the mis-
haps Of princes"

Happiness From Troubles.

Being human, happily or unhappily,
we cannot deny the comfort to be
found in the reflection that misery
never lacks the company it loves. We
all have our troubles, and some of us
derive much satisfaction from the con-
temptation Of them. Indeed, there are
those who are happy only when wretch
ed, but these we believe to be as few
In number as they are disagreeable in
association. The vast majority of hui
mans are normal and disposed, there
fore, In conformity with natural law,
to smile when the skies are clear and
to grieve under the portent Of clouds;
hence the ease with which worry takes
possession of the mind, colors the dis
position and makes a cripple Of effort.
That causes abound we know and
must admit, as we do almost uncon-
sciously the certainty Of death, but
too little cognizance Is taken Of the
fact that the effect Of mere apprehen-
sion, which is all that worry really is,
may be subjected to simple mental
treatment and be overcome. George
Harvey in North American Review.

A Queer Servian Belief.

To hatch a chicken by holding an
egg for the allotted time in the left
armpit is believed in Servia to be a
certain charm against violent death,
more especially If the bird be swal-
lowed whole forty days after it comes
to life. A robber who had devastated
the district Of Kolubara for many
years was, writes Belgrade CORE
spondent, known to have accomplished
both these feats, which accounted fer
the apathy Of the peasants in pursuing
him, persuaded as they were Of his in
vulnerability. He was finally, how
ever, killed by the mounted police,
thus discrediting a time honored Ser
Wan superstition.
