HIGHLAND CROFTERS.
How They Lived In the Middle of the
Last Century.

How They Lived In the Middle of the
Last Century.
In the middle Of the last century
the crofters in the west highlands
seldom saw money and never needed
mostly built of turf, fioored with clay
and rooted with heather. They kept
few cattle, goats and sheep, which
grazed at will on the open hillside
and provided them with milk and
wool. They lived truly simple life,
and their needs were few. They grew
oats for their own food and potatoes,
which formed their other chief article
of diet. Tea was an unknown lux
ury. 1t was by no means uncommon
to find persons who had never tasted
it. Wheaton bread had never been
seen in those parts. Their clothes
were made from the feeces of their
own sheep. spun and woven by the
good wives during the long winter
nights and dyed from the simple dyes
made from the lichens which grew on
the stems Of trees or on the powders
of rock in the neighborhood. The
whisky they drank came from secret
stills on the hillside and had never
paid excise. The nearest parish
church was often many miles away.
No school was there for the children.
Very few of them, indeed, could read
or write. Still fewer had ever heard
word OF English spoken. Their spir-
itual needs, however, were not neg.
lected. for they received constant Wis
its from the men as they were call
ed, who had constituted themselves the
spiritual guides of their neighborhood.

WOOD RAT TYPIFIES MAN.
He Is Small, but Hts Acquisitiveness
Is Unsuitable.

Too many Americans have the wood
rat instinct The wood rat. the ami
NAL, is native of southern Oregon,
but the wood rat typifed in man is
not restricted to any small section of a
state or nation, but is we'll nigh uni
versal.
The wood rat is small, no larger than
a common rat, but his ambition and
ecquisitiveness are Unsuitable. His
one insane desire seems to be to in
crease the size of his pile of sticks
The neighboring field is placed under
tribute. First, all the nearby sticks
are gathered into the pile. Then. as
these are cleaned up. be goes farther
and farther away from home, and ev-
cry twig is eagerly seized upon to in
crease the size of his pile of sticks.
The wood rat regards his pile OF
sticks as a refuge in time of trouble
On the first sound of alarm he PUSHES
for the pile and crawls underneath. 1t
Is here that he often finds his destruc-
ton, for A summer fire sometimes
sweeps through the woods, and the
-
veritable furnace. The larger the pile
che hotter the fire, and thus he has
piled up the means of his own agony.
We do not need to carry the COM
parison sny further. The lesson is
obvious, but still many of VA do not
sppear to realize that we are like the
wood rat, worshiping a pile OF sticks.
We marry a man because of the size
of his pile of sticks aud not from an
innate attractiveness. We call this
man success because he can gather
sticks faster than any Of his compan-
ions. We call this man sharp and
"shrewd" because. after follow
worker has laboriouSly made a huge

THE BOOMERANG.
One of the Most Peculiar Weapons of
War Ever Invented.

War Ever Invented.
The boomerang is an instrument used
both in war and in the chase by the
aborisInes OF Australia. 1t Is usually
about two feet in length, made Of hard
wood bent into a curve resembling an
obtuse angle, fiat on one side and
rounded on the other. The method of
using this curious weapon is very pc
culiar. The thrower takes it in one
hand, holding the bent side downward,
and hurls it forward as if to hit some
object twenty or twenty-five yards in
advance. Instead of continuing TO 60
directly forward in accordance with
the Newtonian law it slowly ascends
in the air, whiring round and round,
describing a beautiful and geometrical
curved line till it reaches a considera-
BILE height, when it begins to retro
grade, finally sweeping over the head
of the protector. striking the object for
which it was intended, which is al
ways in the rear.
An English officer has this to say of
the singular weapon: The boomerang
Is one Of the most curious weapons OF
war ever invented, at least by a bar
barous people, nor is it easy to compre-
bend by what law of projectiles it is
made to take the singular directions
that it frequently does. l have seen q
native throw one so as to make it go
forty or fifty yards horizontally and
not more than four feet from the
ground. 1t would then suddenly dart
into the air to the height of fifty or
sixty yards, describe a very consider
able curve and finally fall at his feet.
In all cases, no matter how thrown,
the boomerang keeps turning with
great rapdity, like as If on a pivot,
making a loud, whizzing noise all the
while"
