a Dutch invention and was first glass

pearl thimbles are seen, brought to

of gold, silver, steel, horn, ivory, and
even glass and pearl thimbles are
seen, bound with gold and with the

Petroleum in Australia,

The discovery of petroleum in the
Boonah district of Queensland, Aus
tralia. is reported in the Queensland
er. 1t is asserted that crude petro-
leum. a heavy black oil, has been
found in a well 100 feet in depth and
within two miles of the town. On
farm five miles from Boonah bores
are said to show volatile oil, prob
ably kerosene, at depth of $50 feet.
There are said to be other indications
of oil in several parts of the district,
notably Harrisville. While payable
oil'' is yet to be found, indications are
said to be that the field will be pro-
ductive when operations on a large
scale are begun. 1t is expected that
if payable OIL exists it will be found
at depths varying from 500 to $50
feet. Prevailing rocks are sandstone,
limestone and nglomerate, with
belts of ironstone. This is said to be
the same class of country usually as

A YEAR ON TRAINS.

The ordeal of spending a year on
trains has been gone through with
by an American in Europe for wag-
er of $4,000. His route was from
Vienna to LUZ, Salzburg and Luns-
bruck, repeated without missing a
train.
He was at first loath to take the
wager because experience had taught
him how wearisome railway train life
was, but the prospect of winning the
money for his family enticed him to
accept. He soon realized that he had
moderated his troubles. Nervous at
lacks came on him N.il1 he stepped
from the train, and he felt the
ground quivering beneath him.
After some weeks of boundless
monotony, and although he read,
slept, spoke and moved about in his
compartment, he felt like one robbed
of his freedom. The specter of his
possibly going mad so tortured him
that he felt his will undergoing a
constant struggle not to go near the
door.
Worst of all was the hot summer,
when only iron energy and complete
abstinence from smoking and drink
excepting fruit juices-kept
him. going. He ate little food.

BUSINESS GIRLS.

When a business girl is a failure
the reason often is that she regards
the work she has taken up as only
a temporary thing-something to fill
up the years that lie between leav-
ing school and the husband and
home that she hopes sooner or later
will fall to her lot.
That is an utterly wrong principle.
Even if the chances are that the girl
will marry, she must work hard and
gain all the knowledge she can of
her calling, so that, should marriage
not come her way, she may, instead
of developing into complaining old
maid, become an interesting and
charming woman, leading a busy life
too busy very often to think much
of self, but never too busy to do a
kind action or help on younger wo-
men beginning life.-Grit.
