mouse, about half the size of onr com
mon motise and of a bright red color. It
baa a very long, furry tail, which is used
as a rudder and looks much like a feather
when fully expamled.
The trees are always in full leaf, but
6hed their bark every year, which fact
alone would be sufficient to make the
Antipodean continent a wonderland.
The leaves of nearly all the trees are
highly aromatic, but the native flowers,
though of most, brilliant tint, have no
fragrance whatever. In writing of the
backward order of things in Australia,
Mr. M. W. Ullathorne says:
Australia is the antipode of the en
tire world. In that country a rising
barometer indicates rain, and a falling
barometer fair weather. The swans are
black and the eagles white; the mole is
oviparous and has a duck’s beak; the
dogs have a wolfs head, a fox’s tail, and
never bark. They also have a bird with
a tongue like a broom, and a fish which
has part of the lxxly belonging to the
genus Kaia ami part to the genus Squale.
Many winged serpents are found there
and fish with largo feathery wings. The
emu is a bird as largo as an ostrich, but
instead of feathers has hair. One bird
has a note like a bell, another cries like
a child, while a third laughs as though
his sides would split.—St. Louis Re
public.
lluwtliorne.
Ancestry and local surroundings, men
tal gifts and mental defects, unite to
make Hawthorne the greatest master of
the preternatural, the magician of the
spell ofsupematnral awe. From every
side cotne the elements which produce
the effect of unsubstantiality—his power
of pensive brooding, the brown twilight
color which wraps his figures in a strange,
hazy atmosphere, the- coldness of his
analysis, the self possession of his style,
the indeflniteness of his touch, the inde-
terminateness of his end. Uis heroes
and heroines have little warmth; they
scarcely talk like ordinary men and
women; they move self consciously
they speak constrainedly, ns though
there is something present which reads
their thoughts, notes their gestures,
registers their actions.
The hntnan interest is never so over-
powering ns to break through the film
of the atmosphere. A master of the by
play of suggestion, liis bints meet ns at
every turn. His subtle mind and pic
torial imagination give ghostly signifi
cance to the commonest objects. He
works out the central idea in marvelous
detail, never presenting it nakedly, but
always giving it concrete shape, exhibits
it from fresh points of view, offors it in
new combination, till the reader ends
by feeling that he is himself haunted by
the impalpable, inevitable presence of
Hawthorne's thought.—Edinburgh Re
view.
Cause of White Ualr After Uurnluff,
Says Dr. Leonard, in explaining the
cause of the growth of white liair after
burns or abrasions of the sculp; “The
burn or inflammatory action has ex
tended deep enougli to destroy the top of
the papilla, bat not enough to implicate
the base, and hence a white hair is the
result. If we represent the papilla in
the follicle diagrummaticnlly by the let
ter A, then that portion above the cross
bar in the letter will represent the color
forming part of tho papilla; that below,
the hair forming portion.”
It is very remarkable that every burn
ar abrasion of the scalp resulting in the
growth of white hair shonld bo so ac
curately graduated as to just take off
the top of the papilla—so remarkable, in
fact, that we venture to doubt it and to
set forth a different view of the color
producing process in the hair.—Hyland
C. Kirk in New York Times.
Won’t Worry About Ik-lnt Nick.
One of the best ways to keep ia good
health is not to think or worry too much
about it. If yon feel strong and well
don't imagine that some invidious dis
ease may be secretly attacking your con-
ititntion. Many people aro like the in
experienced traveler who anxiously in
quired about tho Bymptoms of seasick
ness, and how lie should know when he
bad it. On»j generally knows when he
is flick, and fmiuently many supposably
alarming symptoms prove, upon inves
tigation, to bo either perfectly natural
occurrences or of very slight importance.
