A young Englishman. who had gone
to Australia with a slender capital,
was standing at the door Of his hut

men who looked much like tramps ap.

them such hospitality as his scant lar.

Although the young host knew little
of gaming, he finally consented, after
much persuasion. to play for small

as any Of the three CHANGED to lose
such money as they had in their pock-
cts the play should cease. The game
progressed for time with varying for

OF the host and the pockets Of his
guests were emptied of their modest
sums. The losers were anxious to con,

upon arrival at the nearest town. but
the Englishman insisted that the
agreement be Kept.
I'VE agreed to play for ready
money; your losses are trihing. Let's
turn in and go to bed," he said.
The losers continued to insist, but
their entreattes fell on deaf ears. Sud.

"Btll. where's that bit of paper we
got up the country. Perhaps he'll play

produced. It appeared to be the title

coffee that the disagreeable feelings

"A lady friend complained to me
that she had tried Postum, but it did
not taste good. In reply to my ques-

about ten minutes. I advised her to
follow directions and know that she
boiled it fifteen or twenty minutes, and
she would have something worth talk

one Of her children say that they were
drinking Postum nowadays. 80 I

PARADISE FOR BIRDS.
Barren PUTIN Island off the West
Coast of Great Britain.

Gaunt and bare Putin Island rises
boldly from the sea at the most east
erly point of Anglesey. It's sides torn
and discolored by the waves offer
scant welcome to the explorer, but
there are several places at which a
landing may be made from a small
boat
Naturalists win not object to the
forbiddlng appearance OF this half
mile length of rock at which the
timid look askance. Neglected OF
man 1t is the chosen home OF thous-
ands and thousands of birds who
share it's solitude with few sheep
and scores OF rabbits. Putin Island
has more than one name. The Welsh
call it Ynys Seirol, or the Island OF
st. Seirol, who had a hermitage here
far away in the sixth century and 1t
is also known as Priestholme 1.-THE
priests island.)
Perched in the centre Of the isle are
the ruins of A tower, built in the
seventh century. But this scanty spot
upon the waters should be named the
home Of the birds. In myriads they
seek it TO breed. The keepers of the
lighthouse are almost the only human
beings they see: they can live their
happy lives without the shadow Of
man to brighten them.
Most in numbers is the puffin-be-
ing In the majority it has given it's
name to the place. This curious look
ing bird, so ungainly on land rides on
the waves wonderfully and dives as
surely no other bird can. Come up
on it suddenly---it plunges deep into
the water and your boat has gone a
| long distance ahead before it comes
| to the surface again. In some places
| the putin is called the sea parrot and
in appearance it is not unlike pretty
