THE AUSTRALIANS. A RACE THAT HAS EVljoEXTbY . DEGENERATED-1 I " Hare Intelligence Shown In Track ingHow They Convey jf ew Zhefr Weapon, House a4 , Article of FooOi j r T "fHE aborigines of AqBtralia are t, I . .TfTierallv comidcred lone of the I 6 j lowest types of hutnanity, bat ia afrnncr evidence that the original stock was much superior to the present race who hare rJesceaded through a course of many years to their 1 present low standard. j Th3 blacks that hang about j the bush townships are for the most part miser able looking objects, batinthiir natural state their physique in rcmarkfjbly good, some of the young men being perfect models, with limbs - well shaped, mus cular" bands and feet small, j especially those of the women. The children gen erally present a very pleasing expression, are intelligent looking and fatten very well featured. The women, however, soon lose their charms, deteriorating in appearance as they grow oi ler, the old women in particular becoming perfee tly hideous. J The color of their skin 9 a dark, dusky brown, the hair beipg black, curly an J wavy. They allowjtheir hair to grow very long and thei tie it in large knots on the top of thej head and fix it up with long grass feathers. A strip of ?kin, yften the tail oif a native tlo'r. is sometimes worn round the head as a fillet and serves to keep the hair out of the eyes. The object in bunching the bair on top of the held is to protect the tkull when fighting, although it is said to be almost an irapossibility-to break a black fellow's head with ai ordinary club or waddy. j Their senses are wonderfully acute, especie lly that of sight. Thejr value as trackers of cither men or uiimals cau only be appreciated by thos? who have actually witnessed their woodcraft. They cither see, hear or smell the jpresenco of game as quickly as a sportingfdog would do, amUwhen out trackic i- occasion ally at fault they exercise grejat reason ing power aud a wonderful -icnowledgo of bush lore. Their bump of 'locality" is irnrvelous. They can travel in a straight hue from one point Xo another across many miles of country. It seems ftimost aa instinct, for blatk trackers have often been blindfolded jfor experi ments, turned round severajj times and then asked to point out the direction of certain places, which they inyariably do correctly. I i In the early day3 of the settlement of Australia the blacks were very remark-' ablo for the way they coitmunicated from a distance. In some cases a stick or piece of bark, on which okens or a few hieroglyphics were maiked was passed fiom tribe to tribe by fleet mes sengers, only certain of the elder men being able to decipher i hese secret tokens. Another way of diffusing intelligence from a distance was by fire lighted on the tops of hiils and mountains, from which they flashed or ratjisr smoke 3 telegraphic signals after tbe manner of the American Indians, the density of the smoke and the length of die intervals, taking the place of the dofcjand da9h of the Moise telegraphic alphabet. By us ing these signals they could communi cate from (he mountain ranges to ths coast in a veiy short space4f time. The weapons of the Austj-alian Micks are the spear, the boouienrfcg, the bur rum or single-handed boomerang more properly a wooJen Bworfl the stone hatchet orto nahawk, two sorts of clubs called nullah nullahs and 4-addys, aud the paddy melon stick, tihe latter of which is oul f a short sticli which they always carry to throw at small game, or to correct their better haivts with when occasion requires. For fishing they use nets, spear. hook and Hue! aud weirs, formed of a fence of branches of trees woven together. Very lon nets made of kangaroo sinews ov curtajong bark, are use 1 for securing large j.iuie. Before the settlement of (Australia by the white race the natives were quite ig norant of metals. Stone i tomahawks, flint knives aud implements m tde of bone and wood only were used, and up to comparatively recent tines in the in- erior and in Northern Australia the Diacits were in the storie ae. It is strange that the bow aqd arrow, the common weapon of savage races, has never been used by the Australian blacks south o( Torres Stjaits. Their camps are very easily construct ed. The huts generally consist of a ridgepole supported by tj-ees or forked sticks four leet high, I along which boughs or sheets of bark ire ranged on the weather side. A firs Is kept burning on the lee side which iscnfever closed in. A sudden change of- wind will destroy an encampment in a fevij- minutes. Ia eome parts when a mre permanent ttructure is required the unvah is made circular or mi-circular the crevices being stopped up and linnet with dried grass. j NothiDg cornea amiss toj the natives in the way of food. Anythinia the shape of birds, animuls, fish, reptiles and even insects help to fill the ganU bag. .Tiny also use the roots of soma plants and a tort of yam, and often eat the heart of the palm trees. Tue task of digging up the roots falls to the ginor women, ho use a long, pointed stick, hardened over the fire for the purpose. ! These sticks are called "yam sticks" and are the only weapon carried by the gins, who, on? occasion, use them freely on each other . when settling their little difference. A large grub, about the size of a finger, is esteemed a great delicacy. This gtub is found principally in tha mimosa tree, especially in the dead trees. The bark is stripped or ham mered off, and the grabs captured and often swallowed at once. When roasted and skinned the grub has the appearance of a small roll of butter, and ia said to fc very good eating. !- Th salt water cobra worm, well; lenown as being 'bo destructive to tha piles of wharves and timbers of ships, Is U-so much relished by them, and they eagely seek them in the dead logs m the 6alt water swamps and rivers. The opossum is another dainty dish highly prized by natives, but as that cute animal usually makes its nest high up in the hollow of a large tree consid erable agility has to be exercised be fore it is caught. A black never use his kneea when climbing. If the tree ia small m girth they sometimes use a vine, passing it around the tree and holding on to it "as they a9cend. The most com mon way, however, is to ascend by means of notches cut into the tree or bark about one and a half inches deep and nearly three feet apart. Having fixed upon the side he intends ascend ing, the climber cuts a notch with his tomahawk about the height of his waist and another on a level with his head, but a little to the right or left of the notch, as the case may be. These notches are made by a few taps of the hatchet, first horizontally and then down at an angle of forty-five degrees; having made the two lower ones the as cent is made by standing on the ball of the foot with the great toe in the notch, while the climber cuts a fresh notch level with his head, and so -on until the lower branches are gained. Often1 the guin trees run eighty feet from tha ground up to the lowest limb, the trunk of the tree being perfectly smooth. These notches are cut with great regu larity, for, measured on a fallen tree, the distance between them. seldom varies half an inch. If the 'possum nest i3 in a small branch the branch is cut off. Otherwise a hole is cut in, the tree, pus sy is dragged out by the tail and knocked on the head and throwc to the ground. Sometimes a, fire is made in the hollow of the tree to' drive the ani. mal out. In reascending a tree fre sh cuts are made for every fresh ascent. White ants are eaten in large quan tities. They are prepared by the wo men, being put through a kind of win nowing process to separate them from the dust, and eaten raw. It is said white ants have a medicinal effect. Eggs of all descriptions, including those of the iguana, lizard and turtle are eaten. They are cooked by being placed m hot ashe3, a small hole being -made in the upper end first. The natives are not at all par ticular about tho freshness of the egg?, seemiDg to prefer them when the young reptile.is about to come torth. In time of draught' when food ia scarce, they will collect the heads of the long grasses, beat the seeds out, grinding them on flat stones, and afterward make i cakes of the flour. San Francisco Chronicle. - Ths Languages ef the World. Some interesting statistics have ' een oompiled by a Frenchman respecting the different languages spoken in various parts of the world. He states that the language in which Shakespeare and Mil ton wrote was then that of les3 than six millions human beings. Freneh was the mother tongue of at least thirty mil lion people at a time when English was spoken by less than sixteen million, and 50,003,000 of French speaking people were liviDg when the Revolution broke out in 1789. Between forty and fifty years the English language equalled the German in the number of those who spoke it, and now the latter is left far behind. German ia now spoken by 10,- 000,000 in tho Austro-Hungariaa em pire, by 4.6,030,600 in the German em pire, by 4,000,000 in Belgium, and by about 2,000,000 in Switzerland.

The Greeks of old, as all know, were thesvery highest types of manly and womanybeauty, and very much of this perfectlcmtof form was at tributed to the loosebeautiful style of ' dress they wore. A few evening later the doctor and his wife attended a social v gathering, and the latter was attired in a straight-falling costume, a la Grecque.

STOCKING 8 FOR BOYALTT ' Talking on the subject of stockings . the other day in London with Charles Lee, the court hosier, writes Ada Bache Cone, from Paris, he brought out some beautiful ones that were being prepared for the trousseau of the Princess Marie, ,of Edinburgh. Quite .fine enough they looked all . woven on purpose for her down in Nottinghamshire, where, it is said, they make the best stockings in the world, "and where) the factories are jeal ously guarded for fear that French or German. shall steal, the secret of this make. i For theordinary'wear these royal hose were of heavy black spun silk, ju3t fin ished off at the toe with a thread of white. For finer wear there was finer silk, black also, woven- in various ribs, regular or clustered. A. very taking novelty among them is one of plain weave, black outside and red inside. When not stretched the stocking is black, but when stretched it shows red between the line3, and when most stretched it is most red, producing a Bort- of changeable effect to match the novelty cloths of the season. - Some hose had recently been com manded from Balmoral to be made and taken to Buckingham Palace against the . Queen's return to town. I was fortu nate enough to get a look at them, though they are very much like other people's stockings, of black silk. Her Majesty is very extravagant.in the matter of stockings, never putting on any that have been washed. The best wearing stocking the Royal Purveyor is my authority is the ribbed balbriggan. It i3 made of the finest American cotton mixed with a small quantity of Egyptian cotton, carded, Bpooled and woven in England. Some cashmere stockings ' are sold for winter, but the ordinary choice is black -ribbed balbriggan or heavy spun silk. Some people imagine that a spun-silk stock ing is an inferior quality of silk stock in r. This is a mistake. It is of coarser and harder-twisted threads. Always buy with your stockings when possible a skein of silk of the same weave ; but balbriggan should be darned with spun silk, as the skeined cotton sold will wash out of color. In the matter of washing direct your laundress to use plain white soap lather with sott water if possible; not to ring, but to roll them in a dry cloth and press the moisture out, and afterward to dry them as rapidly as possible. This method will preserve the fabric and the color. Stockings wear out so appallingly fast in comparison with other garments that the question is well raised whether the ravages are greater from acids feiven off by the foot and confined by the shoe or from the rubbing they get in the laun dry. There are those who believe they are best preserved by being washed after one day's wear and at least, one woman avers thai a good silk stock ing so treated will last Indefinitely. A low shoe is better for the stocking than the high one, as it permits a circula tion of air around the foot. Chicago News Record, FASHION KOTIS. 1 Black satin plays an active part in many handsome colored costumes. Cloth dresses, in princess style, have vests of draped cloth of a contrasting color, and are trimmed with lengthwise rows of fur. Colored kid slippers and shoes are em broidered in steel, gold or jet, and red shoes have black patent-leather toes and very fine jet embroidery. Collarettes of bright ribbon plaited, or of two ruffl e3 of silk scolloped on the edges and buttonholed with colored silk, are worn to brighten dark house dresses, and long bows of chiffon, shirred and tucked into shape, come in all bright tints for indoor wear. Fiat sachets of daintily embroidered linen cambric, edged with Valenciennes lace and filled with freshly gathered lavender blossoms, are uaedlby EngUsn women to lay between their napery and linen.

Spiritism Among Savagst. . Tho New Zealander is certain that the soul leaves the body while he sleeps, and that his dreams represent actual scenes lived through while away from the body. The Groenlander believes that ' the soul at night leaves the body and hunts, dances and makes calls. An Indian of Guiana gave one of his slates a solid thrashing in the 'morning because he dreamed the slave had offended him in his sleep. Many savages are afraid of calling anyone who sleeps, because they fear a sudden awakening might not give the soul sufficient time to return to the body. Even the Japanese believe that. Not only does the savage believe his soul ieaves the body while he sleeps, but that it receives visits from other souls, simi larly away from their bodies, not only in sleep, but permanently separated by death. This belief is only an enlarge ment of the first, and a very rational one, too. It is modern spiritism exactly. The modern spiritists are people upon the same mental standpoint as the sav ages. They are unable to discriminate between subjective impressions and ob jective realities. To the unsubstantial imagination of their sleeping and waking dreams, they give the form of reality. They are not conscious of the deceit, but unable, from lack of mental criticism, to 6ee the delusion. Spiritism is the sav age's theory of soul in a new dre33 -Boston Transcript. Treasures In an Antiqqa Desk, j 'A friend of mine in Philadelphia has a treasure in an antique writing desk that has proved its own age," said S. G. Hayden, of Richmond, Va., at the Palmer House. "I was visiting him the other day when he was examining the desk and made an important discovery, The thing has a great number of little apartments for papers, but "apparently did not contain as much space as it should. We were examining it together when we noticed a hidden spring, and what seemed to be a panel proved to be another drawer, which he opened and found to his amazement and gratification that it contained an autobiography i of Thomas Chalkley, published as the title page showed, by B. Franklin' in 1749. The drawer also contained an amount of Continental greenbacks. The antiquity of the desk was not only proved but the other valuable relics were found. T Chicago Herald. Paper, Pens and Ink. Paper was in use in E 'jpt as far as 2300 B.C., and nor merely, as old Pliny thought, from the time of Alexan der the 'Great. The ancients, it appears, knew more about pens and inks than they usually have credit for. The Greeks made silver and other metallic pens, and Latin manuscripts show.a great variety of inks red, purple, greeu, blue, silver and gold. The great Flo reffe Bible in the British Museum shows the skill of ,the penman in th Twelfth Century in the use of this mode of decoration; and in somewhat later times it was no unusual thing for icribes to annotate their texts in colored Inks red, green, violet, blue using each color for a distinct class of notes, nistorical, biographical, geographical, etc. Scientific works are often made jxceedingly attractive by colored dia grams, chronologies by architectual rcades and ornamental panels. j An Indian Compact of Peace. Tne final peacemaking between the Sioux and the Chippewa Indians was ac ;omplished at Maunah, Meeker County, n December 13, 1857, and the agree ment was as follows j "The Leech Lake chief, Ne-Pa-Quam, gave the pipe of peace to the Sioux jhief, He-Yung-Ma-Ne, who gave the pipe back to Ne-Pa-Quam. ' j Agreed that if any Indian of :the Leech Lake band killed any Sioux, the head warrior of the Leech Lakers shall oe given up to be hung with the cord ittached to the . pipe, and the same, agreement in return on the part of the Sioux." All of which might not have been le gal, but it "went" just the same.

The young red orang outang listened to the violin playing at first with grave atten tion. As the sound increased in volume he dropped to the ground, his hair bristling with fear, and finally in abject terror he seized a bit of carpet, shook it out and drew it completely over his head . and body. The music continuing,' he uncovered his head and r gradually a pleased smile came over bis face as he watched the performer. , The piccolo threw the animal into renewed terror, the flute did not interest lum, but the bagpipes threw him into an ecstasy of delight. This enthusiasm would natu rally incline us to the idea that the orang outang may be of Scottish extraction. A further experiment showed that the ele phant enjoyed the flute, but became wrathful at the piccolo. This instru ment, indeed, found no admirers at .the Zoo. The zebra, wild ass, deer and ostrich went into paroxysms of rage at the sound of the piccolo, althbugh they had manifested various signs of pleasure, over the violin aud flute. The tiger was asleep and refuse! to be awakened by the fiddler and flutist. But when the man with the piccolo begau to plaj the animal sprang furiously to its feet and rushed angrily, up and down the cage lashing its tail. So extreme was the beast's anguish that the piccolo man speedily gave place to the flutist. The difference in effect was at once apparent. The tiger stopped, listened, lay down and purred like a kitten in its enjoy ment of the grateful sounds, and pres ently fell asleep in luxurious repose. t Honey as Food anl Jlei'cine.

The mar kets are now flooded with the white clover honey from up the State and the California honey made from the orange blossom. Let jour children eat all the bread and butter and honey they want. Give them great slices of bread covered with honey for their luncheous. It will do them good. From the time the new honey begins to come into the market until spriDg I feed my children honey every day, says a mother. If they have a little cold or cough and trouble with tbeir throats I give them strained honey mixed with a few diops of lemon juice, and it proves most effectual. Wnen they are hungry I give them a generous 6li:e of bread and butter covered thick with honey, and they never get sick, as they , would eating sweetmeats, jellie and jim3. From lon years of expsri-' ence I feel justitied in recommending honey as an excellent and nutritive food, not only for children, but for grown people. St. Louis ReDublic. GROFULA Mrs. E. J.
