Australian Curiosities.

There are some curious things in cen
trail Australia. Lake Amadeus in the
dry season is merely sheet of salt.
Ayers rock, about five miles round,
rises abruptly from the desert. For
merly vast rivers flowed here, and the
diprotodon, a wombat-like creature
worthy of it's name and four times as
large as a kangaroo, 1ourished on the
plains. Now there are hardly any ami
mails to be seen. The fish live in water
holes of the hills until the foods wash
them down to the valleys. At the end
of the wet season the water frogs fill
themselves with water, roll themselves
in the mud and lie low till the next
rains, which may not come for two
years. Meanwhile the provident frog,
like the ''mousie" of Robert Burns,
may have the misfortune to furnish a
drink to a thirsty black. The natives
also get water from the roots of trees.
They are in the totem stage and
revere certain plants or animals which
protect them Men of one group can
only marry women from another single
group.

for some means of evading it, Sudden
~ bright idea was evolved from his
befuddled brain. He would slip into
the house and get quietly into bed
without awakening : IS wife.
Accordingly he stole gently upstairs,
carefully undressed outside the door
and crept into bed, with his face to-

He mentally congratulated himself
upon his success thus far and went to
sleep.
When he aweke in the morning he
dared not look at his wife, and after
lying still for few minutes and not
hearing any noise from her he con-
Guided she was still asleep.
He then determined to arise very
quietly, carry his clothes outside the
door, dress there and go downtown to
business without waiting for break

meeting the servant girl downstairs, he
said:

guest pleasant surprise as he bathed.
Then he left his friend in the bath

ENGLISH JUSTICE.
Hard on Petty Thieves and Light on
Wife Beaters.

nara on Fetty thieves and Light on
Wife Beaters.
1t is only about a century since the
death penalty was inflicted in England
for theft not exceeding the value Of a
sheep. Now some of the London jour-
nails are making merciless exposure
of magistrates throughout the kingdom
who keep up the tradition by sentenc-
ing petty thieves to jail while inf1ict-
ing only trifiing fines upon wife beat
ers and even more brutal offenders.
In one police court one defendant
was fined los. Cd. for knocking his
wife down in the street because she
refused to give him money for drink
and another was sentenced to sixty
days Imprisonment for damaging
growing potatoes and stealing two
footballs.
For cruelty to a horse, beating his
wife, who was i'll, with fist and ham,
mer and leaving her with nothing to
eat one man was fined 10 shillings,
while another, charged with stealing a
pair of socks valued at siIpence, got
fourteen days hard labor. 1t would
not be difficult to make up list of
similar cases from American police
courts, yet the tendency in America is
rather toward a higher estimate of the
value Of human life.-Van Norden Mag

Why Currants Are Nutritious.

The reason why currants are so re-
markedly nutritious is that they con-
sist to a very large degree Of saccha-
rim in its most easily digestible form
that of grape sugar. The piquant fla
vor of the currant, which adds SO much
to its pleasantness as food, is deriv-
ed from the valuable percentage Of tar
taric acid which the berry contains.
Potash is also present in the form of
cream of tartar and is undoubtedly of
dietetic yalue.-Ladies' Pictorial.

The Need of Common Sense.

me the other day, and in the course of
our investigation Of a point we had
in common it was necessary to wash
out bottle. The bottle was empty.
1t was a round, wabbly vessel, and he
had to hold it under the water long
time so that it might get full enough
of water to hoIG It down. l asked
him why he did not fill it with water
first, and he laughed and said he did
not think of it. And that bears out
my contention that it is not because a
man is as Clever as paint that he
therefore grasps ''the common sense
of common things."-G. II. r. Dabbs

after he had covered some nine or ten
miles the poor fellows boots gave out,
and little farther along. footsore and
weary, he gave up in despair and

"As he lay there cursing his fate a
canal boat hove in sight. The actor
was seized with an inspiration.
Captain he shouted as the boat
drew near. Pull up, captain! For the
love of heaven pull upr
"'Waal?' inquired the captain as he
stopped the boat.

While Beckmann, the great comic
actor, was playing at Berlin his friends
persuaded him one day TO initiate

Tended critic brought suit, and Beck

his head in and asked:
