opossum a Pest in Australia.

New Zealand has native species
OF opossum which wears very beau
tiful fur. 1t is not at all like the
opossum that we know in this country.
Many years ago it was introduced
into Australia, and, finding there none
OF the natural enemies that preyed up
on it in its own land, it has since in
creased in numbers until it has be-
come serious pest. It is a robber
of fruit trees.
However, theAvalue of the animal
for its fur is so great as to outweigh
the damage it does in the fruit-growing
sections, and in view Of this fact, the
Australians are encouraging the in
crease of Opossums in forest districts.
Their skins are becoming a consider
able item Of export, and already many
Of them are made up into fashionable
garments for women in the United
States.-Philadelphia Ledger.

First American Train Robberv

Train robbery, "a pastime which was
for some years very popular in the
West, was inaugurated 4S years ago
at Verido, Nevada, when the Overland
express was held up and despoiled Of
about $4,000. This robbery marked
a new departure in the field of crime,
for previously only stage coaches and
travellers had fallen prey to holdup
men. When western outlaws are dis
cussed, the name Of Jesse James is
usually the first brought up, but he
was not the pioneer train robber.
That dubious distinction belongs to
one Buck Taylor, who, with four COM
panions, pulled off the train holdup
which was the first Of long string of
similar crimes.

Rolling, but to start anything rolling
one 1s planning to do, like converse
fion or game playing or anything like
that"
But" said the grasshepper, zone
doesn't roll a conversation or q game
or anything like that"
ut means to start it going that's
all" said the bug.
'Then," said the grasshopper, 1T
means that we must not think of a
ball being used or Of anything rolling
when we say that we can start the
bali rolling. But instead, it means the
starting of anything that was
planned"
"Quite right" said the bug, quite
Fight"
'Still it's a foolish saying with but
little sense" said the grasshopper. Il
wouldn't think up such sayings if I
were creatures. That is, if l. were
creatures who did think up things.
Il would think up things which
meant what they said, 1 would. But
Bug, you We're going to start the ball
rolling, and by that you didn't mean
any ball at all, nor did you mean any
rolling.
TELL me the conversation you meant
to start, for that was what you said
you had ready to start"
"Ah yes" said the bug. II simply
cannot understand why creatures
will say as snug as a bug in a rug
when bug isn't at its happiest in a
rug at all. Maybe bug is very snug
in rug, but a bug mightn't be able
to properly breathe at all, and besides,
a bug greatly prefers other things be-
sides rugs. Moths, on the other hand,
are different"
"Just what said," the grasshopper
grinned, funny green grin. "Just
what I said," he repeated, "the crea-
lures who make up these sayings have
very little sense at all.
"They don't stop to think. They
say the first thing that comes into
their heads.
'"rhat might be all one would expect
of a grasshopper or Of bug, but not
Of a person.
"And so the saying grows-people
hear it and use it, though in the first
place it means but very little"
WELL" said the bug, "there is more
sense to the expression about starting
the ball rolling than we thought at
first. When a ball starts rolling it
goes along so easily, and that is the
way conversation should go too, and
does go when someone starts it off
entertainingly."
Il see, see," said the grasshopper,
swell, I'm greatly relieved to think
there is more sense to sayings than
one would imagine at first"
