A STRANGE LAKE. The Peculiarities of ■ Dolly of Wate* ta Australia. Lake .George Is situated about rour miles from the railway'station at Bun- gendotv.

The lake was dlseovereil by a Itunh- nun In 182:) and wn^ known to the Macks as the "big water." It was then supposed to form the source of a river Laving Its mouth on the south const, hut subsequent visitors were much perplexed at the manner In which the blacks avoided the la. e, of which they appeared to entertalu a superstitious dread, one aged aboriginal stating she had seen 11 all covered with trees, an other explaining that the whole of the water sunk through the bottom and disappeared, while others remembered the lake only ns a scries of Bmall (Kinds. During the following 20 years con siderable variations were noted In the depth and extent cf the lake. In 1841 the lake became partially dried Up. the moist portions being simply grassy swamps. A few months later large numbers of sheep wen- pastured In the bed of the lake, but fresh, water had to he carted for the use of the shepherds, that of the lake being too salt for hu man consumption. The place remained more or less dry until lSr>2. the year of the groat floods In that part of the col ony. when It again became filled, with an average de{)th of nine feet. Since then the surface level of the lake has varied considerably, but the bed has never been so dry as In former years. Then- are Indications that many bun dreds of years ago the lake covered n far larger area than any yet recorded, remains of trees over 100 years old be ing found In spots formerly under ren ter. The saline character of the lake Is the more remarkable by reason of Its being fed by pure atffi sparkling fresh water streams. ENGLISH MONARCHS. Treatment of Borne.

Of course. the right thing to do with a bun Is to got It away from all contact with the air and to do this with all possible Imste. The necessary articles for the treat ment should be on band, and they are baking soda—not washing soda, notice —fresh fat of some sort and several thicknesses of cotton cloth. It Is sn excellent plan to have a bottle of car ron oil ready for such emergencies. Cnrron oil Is made by shaking together equnl parts of linseed oil and l line wa ter. If the skin Is broken over the bum. use the oil without the soda. Otherwise moisten the soda with olive oil or sweet oil or even lard or eold cream and apply It. Over this wrap the cloth. Cotton bnltlng Is often used for covering the buru and keeping out tbe air, hut It Is not to Ik- recommend ed. It Is not a good plan to use flour, dusting It over a bum. for It frequently hardens and Is of little comfort.

The first production of Verdi’s op era “Otbelio” took place at Milan, and nil tbe prominent musical critics of Eu rope foregathered In the Cathedral City In honor of the occasion. Among them was a Parisian Journalist of wide reputation nnd admitted authority In the musical world. His first cure od his arrival In Milan was to seek out Verdi and usk to be allowed to be pres ent nt one of the final rehearsals. The composer received him with ex treme politeness, but replied that he could not possibly grant hls request, as he bad ili-ctded that the rehearsals were to be absolutely private, and he could not make an exception In the fa vor #f any one journalist, however dis tinguished. The Paris critic, far from pleased at this answer, protested that In these circumstances hls account of the opera might not lie nil he should like It to be. "You see," ho explained to tbe composer, who affected not quite to understand. “I shall have to telegraph my article the same evening. It will necessarily be hastily written, and the impression In Paris the next dny may suffer In consequence." But Verdi was more than equal to the occasion.
