AUSTRALIANS GREAT HUNTERS
Knowledge of the Habits Of Animals
Makes Up for Crude Weapons
and Lack of Endurance.

In endurance and speed the Aus
tralian aborigine Is not the equal OF the
American Indian, and his weapons Of
wood and poorly fashioned stones are
effective only at short range, says the
National Geographic Magazine. But
as q hunter the native Australian is
marvelously adapted to his environ
ment. His success lies in an intimate
knowledge of the habits of the animals
On land, in the ground, in trees and
under water. and his wonderfully de-
veloped power Of observation.
He decoys pelicans by initiating
their crys. catches ducks by diving be-
low them, locates an Opossum in a
tree by marks on the bark or by the
flight Of mosquitoes, finds sharks by
observing the action of birds and fol-
lows bee to its store Of honey.
Any animal which leaves track
however dim in sand, on rock or in
grass falls an easy prey to the native.
Children are taught to track lizards
and snakes over bare rocks and to find
their absent mothers by following
tracks too indistinct to serve as a
guide for any European. When white
man is lost In the desert or a child
strays from home the final resort is to
secure "black tracker.'

Rheumatism Superstitions.

It Is when 1t coIhes to rheumatism
that old superstitioas come most def
nitely to the fore, and there are
scores of cures and preventives which
have come down through the centuries.
One of these which the Belgians have
introduced to the fighting men at the
front is the wearing of a strip Of cat
skin beneath the coat. According to
the Belgians. this makes you immune
from both rheumatism and gout, and
with the trenches deep with mud and
icy water, the average soldier, wheth-
er in France or En- gland, is only too
glad to take chance" on any sort
Of preventive, and it Is said that
scores of domestic pussy cats have
been offered UP as sort of sacrifice
to provide whole regiments with the
coveted strip of fur. The fad has
spread to England. where "catskin"
bands are now sold: but so far Ameri-
ca has been content with the theory
that the wearing of steel ring. or
the carrying Of potato in the pocket,
would keep off the dread aching Of
Joints and muscles.

quite distinctly the figure Of the chief
as he crossed the track and took up
his station behind pillar Of the train
shed. Boroday was thinking hard. 1t
had been that unlucky swerving OF q
machine on the hill that had betrayed
him. He knew that now. And he had
just come out Of the Kingston place.
1t was bad, very bad.
Boroday rode all the way into the
city with the chief a dozen seats be-
hind him. The chief did not follow
him home. He knew where he lived,
and he could lay his hand on him when
he wanted him. He was going to want
him now pretty soon. The Russian
knew that. too.
When he had entered his apartment
and turned on the light, he found HUFF
standing by window. The boy
ducked back as the light went up.
For moment the two eyed one an
other. Huff was unshaven, sunken-
eyed, dirty. The contrast between this
wild-eyed boy and the tall Russian was
strong.
"Well?" said Huff deflantly.
"Sit down." Boroday's tone was
kind. He went to closet and got out
| q bottle of vodka.
"When did you have anything to
eat?"
81 am not hungry"
| Nevertheless Boroday forced on him
a little bread and meat.
II didn't know you were out until
tonight" Huff said at last, pushing his
plate away.
"Where have you been?"
drinking my head off in dive on
Fortieth street." said Huff savagely.
"I'm all right now."
"What got into you, Walter? For
you to turn on us like that-to expose
everyone of us. as you have"
"She was in love with him. I wish
I'd killed him."
Very patiently, Boroday told him
what had happened. Over the matter
Of the Bryant pearl he passed as light
ly as he could But Huff realized the
significance of Elinors placing 1T In
the almsbox. He went rather white.
1--WE would have got off with the
country club matter well enough, but
this murderous frenzy Of yours has
finished us all. Well have to break
up and get away. l want you to go
out to Elinor's tonight"
"She will not see me-"
II think she WILL" said Boroday. Il
want her to get away the first thing In
the morning. Let her empty the vault"
He hesitated. ElinOr's fortune in
jewels was becoming a menace. Who
ever took them in charge was possibly
putting q halter around his neck.
"Bring the jewels to me, if you
have a chance. If it seems better, per-
haps you'd better bury them out there"
"Where"
"You might" said the Russian
thoughtfully, "bury them in old Hill
ary's grave"

Early To Bed. Early to Rise,

Who wouldn't be a farmer if he
could choose his occupation? In ad-
dition to the assured wealth that
awaits the agriculturist because Of the
high prices Of his products it now ap-
pears, from statistics Of the depart
ment Of labor, that he among all call
ings attains the highest average age,
fifty-eight years six months. Book
keepers and Office assistants, on the
other hand, die very young, at thirty
six years six months, when they have
hardly begun to live. The moral Of
these Hgures is obvious. Let the book
keepers forsake their stools and HE
themselves to farm. Thereby they
will be greatly prolonging their own
lives and helping to support their fell
low beings. In the city they are doe ned
