A great aeneation hat been canoed at Perth, Weotern Australia, by the trial be fore the chief justice (Sir Alexander On alow) of a white eqnatter named Ernest Anderton for the murder of air'aboriginal called Spider, and of two other aborigines, Biddy and Polly. ' In epite of the clearest •videoce and the plainart direction from the judge the jury refused to convict An derson of murder and brought In a verdict of manslaughter only. I believe no white man has over swung for a black, and one member of the jury declared he would ait a week if neoeesary, but “he would never bang a white for a few d -d niggers.” Thereupon the others agreed. Anderson is said to have been introduced about town as "the man who killed that lot of nig gers. " His only regret was that he would not be able to see the race for the Perth cup. The chief justice said thatrbe tried a similar case 18 months ago, but then only one black man was flogged to death, and the jury acquitted the prisoner alto gather. The facts In this case are peculiarly re volting, and the brutality revealed is of an almost Incredible character. Seven abo riginals, three of whom were children, ran away from Bendhu, a station in the north west, which was managod by two brothers named Anderson. The reason for their flight was said to be that the sheep in their charge had strayed, and they were afraid to face the consequences. Tho Andersons pur sued and overtook them at another station 25 miles off. On tho way back they were allowed no food, and on reaching Bendhu they wore tied up while tho brothers had their dinner. Afterward the wretched natives were mercilessly flogged. “Candy," one of the adults, was first attacked. Alex ander Anderson beat him till he was tired, and then his brother went on with the thrashing. Spider, tho eldest native, tried to run away again, but was brought tack and securely tied by tho legs and nock. Then he was flogged with such violence that he died. Biddy and Polly met with the same fate. Even the children, Louie and Minnie, one 12 and the other 8, were flogged with tho same knotted rope. Among the local community at Bamboo Creek the case was regarded with a dis graceful leniency. AS the inquest the jury found that the aboriginals had “died from exhaustion;" a rider was added “censur ing” the brothers Anderson, and a bench of magistrates inflicted a few paltry fines on them for assault. Subsequently, by order of the public prosecutor, the bodies of the dead aborig ines were exhumed, and after expert ex amination of the broken limbs an indict ment was brought- Alexander Anderson died of typhoid fe ver in Freemantle jail before being brought to trial.—St James Gazette. The Disappearing Tray. If you ever use one of those little fancy Japanese metal trays sold about the streets for ash receivers, don't put it on the stove, though that .happens to be a handy plaoe for a circle of smokers to rsaoh. That was what the observant Jersey man did the other night at his eountry home. He and his sons were sitting about a big stove on a cold night, all smoking, and for convenience he put the ash receiver on a sort of shelf at the back of the stove against the smoke pipe. When he went to bed, he left tho ash receiver there. The following morning his wife discovered it. It was per fect in appearance and form, and still held the pile of ashes, burned match. ends and cigar butts which had been deposited in it the night before. She was about to pick it up, when she bethought herself that it might be hot. Taking something, there fore, to push it with, she attempted to slide it off upon a plate. The moment she touched it the ash re ceiver lost its form, became liquid and ran off the stove upon the floor in a shining stream of white metal. The heat of the stove had been sufficient to melt the pew ter of which it was composed, and it bad probably stood there for hours, all in a liquid form, except the little crust of oxide and lacquer upon its outer surface. This crust had been coherent enough to keep the tray in form until a touch broke it, and then the wbolo had collapsed.—New York Sun. Jewel Trays. Pretty little trays of metal or pottery are much in vogue as receptacles for rings, when said rings are “off duty, "as now and then happens, though not for so long a period as to be put under lock and key. The trays are not to be commended, how ever, and for a very simple reason—they are not good for the rings. Drops of water will wear away stone itself, and the rough or hard surface of these small trays is not wholesome contact for anything so suscep tible as gold. It is astonishing how soon one's rings will show the wear and tear of nightly reposing upon an unyielding sur face. Satin or velvet is tho only kind of contact that so fine a metal can endure with profit, and unless padded or lined the little trays are to be tabooed by all who value their rings. Even the china upright twigged branch and the outstretched hand, both very popular as ring holders, are not to be sanctioned Anything short of flesh itself, or that which is most like flesh, is sure to make tho rings show signs of wear and tear. —New York Sun. Vocabularies. In a talk about th% Algonquin lan guage Dr. Edward Everett Hale observed that 600 words of any language are enough for human communication. “Six hun dred words,” he said, “are said to be suffi cient for the couriers in Europe, and it is the outside limit of the vocabulary of the Italian opera. It is true that this is the minimum of human intelligence in both cases, but still it answers for the convey ance of thought. In the book of Judges, for Instance, there are not 700 different words.” Valuable Experience. “Johnnie,” said his father, “I’m sur prised to hear that you have dared to dis pute with your mother. ” “But she was wrong, pa,"replied John nie. “That has nothing to do with it,” said the old man. “You might just as well profit by my experience and learn once for all that when a woman says a thing is so it is so, whether i| is so or not. ’ ’—Chi cago News. One o>v the Other. “I wish I could remember what Lobelia told mo to order when I canw down town this morning,” said Mr. McSwat. “It was either a tea set or a settee, but which one of the two it was I can’t call to mind to save my life. ’ ’ —Chicago Tribune.

Obstinacy is indicated by the alow, heavy and flat footed style of walking, miserliness may be suspected from short, nervous and anxious footsteps. Turned-in toes generally character’ ixe the absent minded, and a stoop tho studious and deeply teflective, whose thoughts are anywhere rather than with themselves. Sly, cunning people walk with a noiseless, and even stealthy tread, re sembling that of a cat. A proud per* son generally lakes even steps, bolds the figure upright and the head a little back, and turns ths toes well out. A gay and volatile person trips light* ly and easily in sympathy with his or her nature. Character is shown by all sorts of oddities in gaits, but grace and elegance no civilian’s walk will bear comparison with that of the man who baa received military training. No two people walk exactly alike and the student of chsracter finds as much to interest him in the way peo ple walk as in any peculiarity they may have of feature. Quick steps de note agitation ; slows steps, either long or short, suggests a gentle or contem plative turn of mind. Everybody Says So.
