Forms Bridge Over Gorge.

One of the most remarkable freaks
of wind and erosion known in the
West Is to be found in n of the
smaller canons Of the Grand Canon
of the Colorado River in Arizona.
In a narrow gorge, carved through
centuries. Of flow of water and wind
driven sand down the little valley,
there lies a huge boulder, as big as
the average house moving van seen
on a city street. It is held up solely
by friction on the sides OF the gorge
and is entirely free from any solid
connection with the sides Of the sand
stone walls.
From the sandy bed of the little
gorge to the rock is fully seventy
five feet. The Indians who once
roamed over the Grand Canon coun-
try have, of course, legends to &C.
count for the location of the big
round rock, but as a matter Of fact
it is believed to have rolled of the
slope of a rocky and precip!tous
mountain about five miles distant
from the canon and to have been
picked up in the path of some cloud
burst of years ago and rolled to It's
present resting place.
The stone hangs only by a small
projection on each side, but 1t Is so
solid that it forms a convenient foot
bridge across the gorge over which
the pedestrian may take his way

Australian Girls.

Many Australian girls live right up
In the bush, or Stations" which are
miles away from any town or village,
and their time is largely occupied
with riding and driving; they are as
much at home on a horse as a duck
Is In the water, and think nothing OF
riding twenty miles or so to pay a
visit, says a writer in Woman. House.
hold duties claim a share of their
time, however, and any day they are
liable to be left without servants and
with a house full of visitors, but are
in no wise daunted by such an occur
renee. Then the bush girl comes
down to the capital for the season,
and, far from appearing a country
pumpkin or a tomboy after her free
and open-air life, she is as much at.
home in a ballroom as any town-bred
girl, as neat and we'll dressed as II
she had never ridden barebacked over
wild tracts of country, with little
thought Of appearances.-Sydney Re-
view.

Sincere COURTESY.

At a dance given by a certain set
in Philadelphia society there was one
participant, a man from Wilmington.
who met with a mishap on the moor
due to his lack Of skill in dancing.
The Wilmington person observed
to one guest, "Sir, you are the only
gentleman in the room"
"Thanks," was the dry response.
MAY 1 inquire what motive has led
to this complimentary outburst on
your part?"
"Why," explained the out-of-town-
er, when I tripped in the dance just
now and fell sprawling to the floor,
incidentally ripping off a large Sec
ton of my charming partners gown,
you were the only one in the place
who did not laugh"
The guest smiled grimly. 1.-THE
explanation lies in the fact that the
lady is my wife, and that l have paid
for the gown."-Harper's Weekly.
