The ”bride from the bush," with her
_ _' physique and splendid vital.
, in can crack a stock whip with a

hp doped milee‘or so before breakfast, is
{behind of Australian girl that seems to
am most vividly impressed the imagine
“one at is English and antipodean
.Iriterl, ‘ ‘d she has been depicted by them
it and again. Visitors to the Austra-
, . capitals, however, are apt to discover
that-this generalization is inaccurate, and
4.5 town belle is a very difl'erent personal-
! from the bush bred damsels of fact and
fiction.
1’ .Exuberantyitality is certainly not the
.utrong point of some of the smart domes
0‘ Sydney. Languld expressions, fragile
physique and a die away look in the eyes
“among , the most noticeable outward
characteristics, and even the most unob-
Jarvnnt could not fail to notice the extraor-
dinnry purity and transparency of their
oomplexlons. r50 peculiar and unexpected
' is the delicacy of their coloring that travel-
“. in members of their own sex have often
in gnantly issued tho verdict of “paint"
against them without further evidence
and wondered, possibly not without some
faint suspicion of envy, “how they could
do it.” Closer examination, however,
shows the injustice of this judgment. The
skin is pure and clean as it tho owner had
_ just emerged from running water, and
over the delicate sensitive surface the pas-
, , sage of the emotions is as clearly visible as
, Itint of the honey clouds in the summer
y.
‘ “It is not paint,” said a lady who had
.3 been most vigorous in her early denuncia-
tions. “1 have examined her as close as I
ism to you,nnd she never flinchcd or turned
a hair. Besides, when the lampshade
caught fire, I noticed that she turned white
as a sheet. and she would only have looked
blue under the paint—If it Were paint.
But I was determined to find out. So i
‘ ' gushed over her a good deal and finally
' kissed her. That satisfied me. Any one
who has ever tasted paint will know what
Imean. She hasn‘t a vestigo of it on.
And yet—4t is not natural, 1‘” swear.
‘ She must take something for it. What
"‘. does she take? Campiior perhaps. I have
3 heard of girls taking camplior to maki-
them look delicate. ”
Now, it happened that this second con-
jecture was also inaccurate. ’l'his marvel

uralilt. Be is a mtdflmht to the
editorial department, or, rather, he was
until Mnnaginglditor Gibson hurt his
feelings last week. Schmidt—that isn’t
his name, but it will do-carries part
of his natural history collection around
with him. Mr. Gibson doesn’t know
anything about those things, and he
doesn’t want to. ‘
Mr. Gibson was pinching the was
in his trousers one warm day, when an
unusually large cockroach crawled up
on his desk and looked at him.
”Too bad Bonner has given his cir-
cus,” said Mr. Gibson, “but we may be
happy yet. "
He captured the cockroach and boxed
him up. Then he cut a pair of large
wings out of tissue paper and persuaded
Artist C. J. Taylor to paint them in
colors. When they were neatly fastened
on the cockroacb's back, he placed the
animal on his desk and summoned
Schmidt. The amateur naturalist is
nearsighted and wears glasses.
“Schmidt," said Mr. Gibson, “here's
a new butterfly for your bug collector.
‘It flew into the office just now. "
By’ithis time the cockroach was crawl-
ing up the wall, handicapped by his pa-
per wings. Schmidt approached it close-
ly, and peering through his glasses ox-
claimcd: ,
“Got in Himmel, Mr. Geebson, das
ist Ungehcuori”
“Yah, so I thought,” returned Mr.
Gibson.
“Yah, ” said Schmidt, still squinting
through his glascss. “Vote a minute
for my glass. "
Oi‘f dashed Schmidt, and when he re-
turned he had a large magnifying glass.
He focnsscd it on the strange butterfly
and peered again. For a moment he
was perplexed. He gently took a wing
between his thumb and first finger and
oil’ it came. He squinted harder, and a
look of disgust settled on his features.
Ho brushed the cockroach ofi’ the wall,
and with an explosive “Donnerwettcr!”
he left the oliico.
"You can'tsnit some men, " said Mr.
Gibson thoughtfully, again pinching
the creases in his Henson—New York
Sun.

Jack's Mistake.
Jack was a ventumsomo little chap.
One day he heard at school that Tom
Webb's boat had struck the rock under
the bridge and was breaking to pieces.
Jack wanted to ace it, so on his way
home he turned off to the railway bridge
which crossed the little river just where It
was full of rocks. It was a rough and
dangerous place. 0790])ng along, the lit.
tle boy bent over until his head grew diz
zy,'and if he hadn’t jumped up quickly
he certainly would have fallen. And some
thing else would have happened, too, ll
be had staid there twominutos longer, fox
ho had no sooner got oil the bridge than a
railway train came rushing along that
would have crushedhlni to death in a mo»
mont.
But Jack thought he had done a very
smart thing. He ran homo and at the
dinner table boasted that ho had been
down on the railway bridge and scon’i‘om
Webb's boat among the rocks and had
just time to get oil when the express cams
along.
Aitcr dinner father took the little buy
