wears ucrosa bis ’'reast a two or three
Inch thick mail -.* Armed with a
spear, with a club attachment at the
other end, they ride upon swift horses
Into a herd.
With the agility and equipoise of dr-
cus riders they stand erect upon their
horses and use their spears and clubs.
The kangaroo Is able to Jump clear
over a horse. As the game Is bagged
It Is skinned, and the sklu Is stretched
on the ground and puMed down to pre

meat for the camp.
Each man places his private mark
upon his booty, anil when they have
100 apiece they return back to elvillzn

furnishing the best leather, as It lives
mainly In wooded sections.
Up Was Accommodated.
A conjuror was performing before a
rough and ready audience In one of the
prohibition states of America, accord
ing to an English paper. “I am now
spoilt to undertake n feat," said he. "In
which 1 shall need the use of a pint
flask of whisky." There was a dead
alienee. “Will some gentleman In the
audience favor me with a pint of whis
ky?” There was no response, and the
conjuror began to look blank. "Sure
ly." he continued. "In a southeastern
prohibition town I ought not to have to
ask a second time for such a tiling. 1
give my word I will return It Intact.
Is there no"—
••Stranger." said a tall, gaunt tuna

“wouldn't a quart flask do as well?"
“Why. certainly! I merely”—
Rut before he could .finish the gen

like one mat) and were on their way to
the platform In a body.

Even the least superstitious are often
■truck by the misfortunes which at
tend some persons on certain dntes. A
large llriu In the city has In Its employ
a living Instance of the fact. On June
12 nil employee lost his left arm by
coming In contact with machinery.
The accident disabled him for his then
employment, nnd he was given that of
n messenger. On another June 12 he
was run over It) the Strand while on
an errand—result, a broken leg. The
next accident was n fall oil the stairs
In the llrm's buildings, again June 12;

fourth mishap on another anniversary
broke three ribs. The firm took the
case Into consideration and Issued un
order that In future the employee was
to take a holiday on that date, an order
With which lie lifts now compiled for
several years.—London Chronicle.

“Is this Hazel street?" asked a young
woman In out‘%t the hack seals of au
East Tenth street car who was carry

arm.
"No. madam." said the conductor. "I
will tell you when we coute to It."
Later on she repealed the question,

show of Impalleuce. Filially when
Hazel street was reached, he rang, ami
tin- ear mine to a stop. "This Is Hazel
street," said the conductor.
"Oh. I don't want to an off a: that
street. I only wanted to know where
It was. I go to the end of the line."
Then ns the ear started again she
looked down at the pug nnd seal In

Northwest" In the Ladles' Home Jour
nal W. 8. Harwood tells of a queer ex
perience that befell the family In the
flrst year after settling on a farm far
removed from the settlements.
The winter had been unusually long
end severe, and their stock of provi
sions ran low. It was a long distance to
the nearest base of supplies, and com
munication with the outside world had
been cut off. Indians lu the neighbor
hood one night broke into the granary
where the wheat was stored and stole
a quantity. In doing this a large
amount of broken glass became mixed
with the wheat which the Indians left,
so for many days, amid much merry
story telling and many a Joke and
laugh. In spite of the serious situation,
the family gntliered about a large table
lu their living room nnd spent the
short winter days picking over the
whent. kernel by kernel. In order to
free It from the pieces of glass.
For tills wheat stood between them
nnd starvation, nnd none of Its pre
cious kernels must be lost. Their stock
of flour had long since wasted away,
ns had most of their food supplies, so
they boiled and ate the wheat without
grinding. Relief reached them Just in
time to prevent a sad ending to the ex
perience.

Llmewater has so many uses It Is
hard to classify. It Is good to soften
water, to sweeten drains, to keep milk
vessels wholesome, to make milk Itself
sit well upon delicate stomachs, to test
utr for excess of carbonic acid —If there
Is too nmeli carbonic acid present, the
clear llmewater Instantly crusts over—
to take out marks left by grease spots
which have been removed by stronger
alkalis-lu fact, for so many tilings it
should always be kept on baud. Mixed
with either sweet or linseed oil to a
creanly consistence. It Is the very best
household remedy for burns nnd scalds.
It costs practically no more than the

used to Indulge In n picturesque elo

nately lie would sometimes forget the
line of argument and would always
fall back on the word "therefore,”
, which generally led his tulnd hack to

i times, however, the effort was almost
\ disastrous.
One time he had been complimenting
the Jury, assuring them that they were

: then branched off into a statement of
I Ills ease. With a wave of Ills hand and
a smile on his face he proceeded:
"This Is so clear a ease, geutlemen,
