SEEMINGLY IMMUNE TO PAIN
Australian Aborielnals Suffer Little
Inconvenience From Even the
Z Most Severe injuries.

The sight Of their own blood will
send Australian aboriginals into hys-
terics. writes correspondent In the
Australian Bulletin, but am con-
vinced they feel little or no pain from
even the severest Injury. On one oc-
casion. when dragging young girl
from a shark that had her foot in its
jaws, she looked up and remarked
casually, mine tink 1t dat shark been
tax 1t mine footl" The sight Of the
blood upset her for a while; but a
few hours later she was playing
euchre with the rest Of the camp. The
wonder is that wounded blacks don't
more often bleed to death, for they
take no special means to prevent 1t.
The most approved method used to be
to cover the wound thickly with fine
mangrOve ash, and over that a layer
Of damp clay, which was not removed
for several days. I never saw them
wash wound, their theory being that
years they all learned to go to doc
tor when injured, but thirty or forty
years ago one saw dreadful deformi-
ties resulting from accidents and
fights. On Fraser's island in the sew
enties there was man whose leg had
been broken in two places below the
knee. Neither fracture had knitted,
and he was a most grotesque object
to meet. The doctors wanted to mend
him. but he kept out of the way. An
other case was an old woman whose
arm had been broken between the
wrist and elbow. She used to pry
the bones one against the other, and
she could give terrible blow with the
loose hand.

BEAUTIFUL LAND OF HOLLAND
oliver 0oldsmith's Description Of
Dutch Country az True Today
AZ When He Wrote II.

"In winter, when their canals are
frozen, every house Is fOrsaken, and
all people are on the ice; sleds drawn
by horses, and skating, are at that
time the reigning amusements," Oliver
Goldsmith wrote Of the Dutch. "They
have boats here that slide on the Ice,
and are driven by the winds. When
they spread all their sails they go
more than mile and half minute,
and their motion is SO rapid the eye
can scarcely accompany them. Their
ordinary manner of travelling is very
cheap and very convenient; they sail
in covered boats drawn by horses; and
in these you are sure to meet people
of all nations. Here the Dutch slum-
her, the French chatter, and the Eng
lish play cards. Any man who likes
company may have 1t to his taste. For
my part I generally detached myself
from all society, and was wholly TAX
en- up in observing the face of the
country. Nothing can equal its beauty;
wherever I turn my eye, fine houses.
elegant gardens, statues. grOttos, WIS.,
tas, presented themselves; but when
you enter their towns you are charmed
beyond description"
