WHERE PICNIC Is A PASSION
In Australia People Obtain Maximum
Of Recreation Without Country
Clubs or Amusement Parks.

As In the United States. the "mo-
vies" often constitute the chief indoor
amusement, but the universal recrea.
tiOn In Australia is the picnic which
reaches a high development. Men,
women and children, families, clubs,
churches, lodges and miscellaneous
groups are out on plcnics afternoons.
Sundays and holidays.

Irish EnaIIsh.

Many persons seem 10 see, or 10

ter of fact, most OF the words OF the
Irish dialect" are not Irish at all, but
the purest OF English-Engllsh trifle
antiquated, II is true, but nevertheless
the real thing. The ears OF Milton,
Dryden, Spencer and Chaucer would
not have been surprised to hear an
Irishman speak of "a rough say" or "a

AppreeIatlon Of Authors.

That Americans are not without APP
probation OF their great authors
after the great authors are dead-was
demonstrated at sale in New York
city, where a collection OF 39 holograph
letters Of Nathaniel Hawthorne, with
engraved portraits, brought $1,000 from
w. II. james. In the collection were
letters 10 Hawthorne and his family
from Emerson, Whittier, Bret Harte,
Browning, Eugene Field and Irving.
Two thousand dollars Is "A good,
round price to pay for II few old let

20 an author OF the repute OF Haw-

Hawthorne would have thought on the
subject II he could have foreseen this
transaction when he was writing juve-
nile classics like the ''Tanglewood
Tales" and "Grandfather's Chair" for
s. q. Goodrich. and receiving In remu-
neration sometimes no more than $50

SINGING CALLED LOST ART
II Is Now Confined Chiefly 20 Profes-
sionals, Drunkards and Phono-
graphs, Says Writer.

Singing. as far as most people are
concerned, is a lost art. Thousands
attend operas, rectals and muslca
comedies, tens OF thousands wind vi
monographs; but as for singing them
selves informally at their work or play
they have forgotten how. In times
past people OF all ranks sang together
as a matter OF course. Sailors sang al
their work, peasants, shepherds, cow
boys-all had their favorite and ap-
proprIate songs. The songs OF chill.
dren az games, the lullabies OF moth.
ers are In the collected ballads and
folklore Of many peoples, says the In
dianapolis News.
'The pastlmes and the labors Of the
husbandman and the shepherd" says
Andrew Lang, "were long ago a kind
Of natural opera. Each task had It's
own song; plowing seeding, harvest,
buFIal-all had their appropriate bal
lads or dirges. The whole soul or the
peasant class breathes In their bur
dens as the great sea resounds in the
shell cast up on the shore"
Nowadays the whlrl OF machinery
makes all the noise. The workers I'm
mills might find II unsatisfying TO sing
nj their work, but II is doubtful II they
would sing even IL their voices could
be heard; while singing In an Office or
store would pretty surely be stopped
by the boss" or the police. Thou
sands cOnprppote pypry night I'm tho
silence of moving picture theaters, and
even in the churches where singing by
the congregation used 20 be customary
the attendants now usually listen I'm
silence to paid singer.
Singing in this age is largely con-
fined TO the professional performer,
drunken men and gramophones.
