KANGAROO MEAT.

Why the Native Youngsters Of New
Guinea Refused II.
In certain parts Of New Guinea the
wallaby, species Of kangaroo, are
very plentiful. and the traveller In
search Of sport finds the pursuit of
them an exciting occupation. Wallaby
steak is refreshing change from can
ned meats, and the natives are only
too glad to have the remnants Of the
carcass. A writer in an English mag
aZine tells an amusing incident con.
nected with the animal.
He had been ashore In one of the
sparsely populated regions Of the coast
and secured four wallaby. an ample
supply for the whole party, native
guides and servants included. But he
found that, although wallaby is re-
garded as such II dellcacy that no
trouble is considered too great to OBJ.
tain It. none of the native boys in the
party would touch 1t.
This was mystery until one of
them explained that they had been
trained IN childhood in the belief that
II they ate wallaby before reaching a
certain age 1t would stop their growth.
These boys all belonged to the part
Of the country where wallaby are few,
and one can imagine the crafty old
folks seated round the festive pot and
winking at one another as the young
people declined the succulent dainty.

An Old Legend That Tells Of the ORR
gin Of the Art.
Lacemaking Is by no means SO old
an industry as most persons suppose.
There is no proof that 1t existed pre-
vious to the fifteenth century. and the
Oldest known painting in which 1t ap-
pears is portrait Of lady In the
academy at Venice painted by Caspac-
clio. who died about 1923. The legend
concerning the origin of the art is as
follows:
A young fisherman Of the Adriatic
was betrothed to young and beauti-
full girl of one of the isles of the la
COON. Industrious as she was beauti-
ful, the girl made n new net for her
lover, who took it with him on board
his boat. The first time he cast It into
the sea he dragged therefrom an exqni-
site petrified wrack grass, which he
FASTENED to present to his fiancee; but,
war breaking out, the fisherman was
pressed into the service OF the Vene-
ton navy. The poor girl wept at the
departure Of her lover and contem-
plated his last gift to her. While ab-
sorbed In following the intricate ira
Gerry Of the wrack grass she began to
twist and plat the threads weighted
with small beads which hung around
her net. Little by little she wrought
an imitation Of the petrification. and
thus was created the bobbin lace.

Presenting Arm. 10 Cat.

About the middle OF the last century
a very high English official died in a
fortress at a place that is one OF the
centers of Brahmanic orthodoxy. and
at the moment when the news of his
death reached the sepoy guard at the
main gate black cat rushed out of it.
The guard presented arms to the cat
as salute to the flying spirit Of the
powerful EHglishman. and the coinei-
denee took SO firm hold Of the local
ity that up TO u few years ago neither
exhortation or orders could prevent a
Hindoo sentry at that gate from pre-
senting arms to any cat that passed
out at night Bombay Times.

new TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
II is an ln'erca, Disease and Requires
an Internal Remedy.

The cause of rheumatism and kin
dred diseases is an excess of uric acid
IN the blood. To cure this terrible
disease this acid must be expelled
and the system so regulated that no
more acid will be formed in excess
i've quantities. Rheumatism is an in
ternal disease and requires an inter
nal remedy. Rubbing with oils and
liniments will not cure, affords only
temporary relief at best, causes you
to delay proper treatment, and al
lows the maIady to get a firmer hold
on you. Liniments may ease the
pain, but they will no more cure the
Rheumatism than paint will change
the fibre of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered
perfect and complete cure, which is
called "Rheumacide." Tested in
hundreds of cases, it has effected
the most marvellous cures; we be-
lieve it will cure you. 'Rheumacide
"gets at the joints from the inside"
sweeps the poisons out of the system,
tones up the stomach, regulates the
liver and kidneys and makes you
well all over. Rheumacide STRIKES
the root of the disease and removes
