Instead of the leaves having their flat sides turned to the ground they stand edgewise. The opossum of America is the only species of paunched animal known to the world outside of Australia, continent there are at least 110 species having that distinguishing peculiarity. They have been arranged into five tribes, according to the L>od they eat- The root eaters (wombats), the fruit eat- ers (phalangers), the grass eaters (kan- ; w) kc hls moutll and tongue garoos), the insect eaters and the fish , , ,. , . . .. ..... eaters (native cats and rats,.

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.
