FIRE WITHOUT MATCHES r.urlnl Kiu-i Similar to Those of AM. cau Trlboa Women Hot Allowed ti NpeHk For Year After living Widowed Dlxtlnguliihlng lleaut Mai In. Anthropologists iittmt that there i.ae been two epochs of Immigration Into Australia without being able to mule satisfactorily whence they came tut ugrce that the flrst race were In terior to the present race; that they truvitated to the south at a time; that there was continuity of land be tween Victoria and Tausmanla; that tln latter inland became sepertited Mi l Bass Strait appeared, leaving primitive race south of It. These cat ages knew nothing of shields or . u'.nornhs (spear-throwlng Imple ments), but they knew the art of uiaklng fire by friction between sticks of wooJ; had wooden clubs and s.c.'.rs with hea Is of same matsiinl i the shafts of flint or stor.a. They .'.a.! rude stone axes of the so-called .aU-ollthlc (enrllmt) kind, and their crwila Indicated a grade of Intellect tut. little above the simian family, 'iho vanished race of Tasnianlna were their descendants, for the last nun and woman died within a fow arc cecades, and their portraits thown In the books. It is au Interesting thlua to tLa natives produce fire In a remark ably short time by the use of the lire bilcks, says a writer In tho I'lttsaurg Despatch. I have seen only two Hilda of sticks and have road of an other method which Is said to ob tain among the interior tribes by rubbing u wouierah, which Is always of hard and tough wood across the I'd so of a shield w hich is generally of wood which Is softer. The shields are concave convex always, and the friction across the edges produce fire In two places Instead of one, which would have Its advantages of course. The bushmen apparently know or care but little about personal ad ornment. The women wear neck laces of shells. The men daub thutr bodies with ochreous paints and stick feathers and down to their bodies for their mystic ceremonies and both men and women decorate their skins with scars which are the product of incisions In the Bkln which are kept from healing for a certain length of time by burning with the end of a red hot stick or the insertion of for eign substances, causing a ridge-llke effect supposed to be exactly the pro per thing. Men and women make long, par allel Incisions clear across the abdo men, chest or around the shoulders. Boys after their initiation Into the rank of manhood are scarred quite liberally. They have a kind of tatoo scarring also which consists of mul titudinous short incisions aranged in groups in certain patterns and may be placed indiscriminately in several parts of the body. When a married man dies his wife makes a long central Incision in her scalp extending from the occiput to the udge of the frontal bone. This is generally done with a flint knife and the same course Is observed as In other Incisions to prevent a too-ready healing. Girls after marriage and hoys after reaching man's estate tie their hair with braids around the bead so arranged that the mass of hair will extend obliquely upward and backward. By being retained constantly In this fashion the folds or corrugations of the scalp become permanent and the appearance Is bizaare. In alluding to the burial customs of the bushmen and telling of their toeing interred in a sitting posture, exceptions are mentioned in the fun erary habits of a very few tribes liv ing far in the interior bordering the desolate waste known as Never Nevoi I and. One at least of these tribes place the body on a platform In a tree, much after the manner of some of our Indians of the West and North west. They have a method for de coration which would not be recog nized nor uBod in most countries and it is In use principally among the wo men and consists In the removal of one or two of the upper centra) in cisor teeth. When at La Perouse I wondered why so many of the gent ler sex bad lost so many front teeth, hut the authorities have made It quite clear. The dental operation Is generally performed on the girl be fore marriage by another woman who causes the patient to lie on the ground with her head in a depress ion made for the purpose. She places a stick against one of the teeth and generally one hard blow on the end of the stick with a stone is Htifnclunt to remove the tooth and produce the requisite cosmetic effect. They think it adds to their beauty and any on who has seen them will freely admit there Is need to be de bt red in that line, but they also be lieve that It cause what they eat and drink to taste better. Australian business methods do not all commend themselves to aliens. AU retail places open at 9 in the morning and close at 6 in the afternoon. A Woman's Back Bat many achos and pains caused by weaknesses and falllmr, or other displace ment, of tho pelvic organs. Other symp toms of fimnlo weakness are frequent headache, dizziness, Imaginary specks or dark spots floating before the eyes, gnaw ing animation In ftomach, dragging or bearing down In lower abdominal or pelvic region, disagreeable drains from pelvic organs, faint spells with general weakness. if any considerable number of the above symptoms are present there Is no remedy that wTVIve quicker relief or a more per manent jm than Dr. Pierce's Favorite PrcViiCIt has a record of over forty years of curei It Is thn most potent Inyiitor orating tonic and strenfltheprny ner- vlue known to medleal sclonee.

Of tho wooden walls of En..iu, t!'.o grout snllLts ships in which Ad miral Nelson won his victories, : ::.'. of tho men who worked thorn, r. critic writes: "Though beautiful to boho'.d nnj terribly to f.ght vlth. thooo old inen-of-wur wore moro of ten than not abodes of tyranny r.nd wretchedness. Tho vIoleuc3 of thy prcus gangs, which seized men of all nci's nnd occupations, was but n pre ludo to tho oppression that followed. Decent men wore herded lndlHcrlml nutoly with ruffians, the rights of rroe-born Engllsmen were rudely Rnnicnoa from thorn for them, theacelorward, there was no law sava tho will of the captain mid tlio dread articles of war. Sboi-egolns louvo was nonexistent, tho food w;ik atrocious and scanty, punlnhmcuts weto burbarous, and tho only thing served out with any liberality wa rum, on which tho men got drunk and then were flogged for that o.' fence at the gratings next moriilnx. "In Nelson's time the seamen had few pleasures savo the prospect of u hot fight and his dally pint of rum But to these must be added the vain glorious satisfaction he took in his clothos. When rigged out In his best ho frequently wore rings in his ears mid silver buckles on his low shoos; his short blue Jacket would be deco lated with gold buttons and colored ribbons sewn down the seams to give nn additional gayety; his waistcoat might be red or canary yellow and a black silk handkerchief would be knotted loosely round his throat. As tho finishing touch his hair would be hanging In a cue down his back The broad collars were flrst worn as a protection against the grease and pomatum used In dressing the pig tail. "But all these fripperies were dis carded when the guns were cast loo.su from their lashings and the linstocks were lighted. It was the custom of the men when going Into action to strip to the wnlst. They took their black silk handkerchiefs and bound them very tightly round their heads over thejr ears, so that the roar of the guns might not deafen them for life. It was remarked that men go ing Into action always wore a sullen frown, however merry they were lu their talk. "Methods followed In that day were curiously primitive and toll Bomo, but the results were undoubt edly satisfactory, save to the name less and numberless sailors who met grim death on the black and blood tt;'.lued deck or In the dark horror of the cockpit. That those hardy r.nd careless men often faced death or disablement with a Jest or a cheer only renders their unconscious hero Urn the more Impressive." Faithful Arabian Horse. Arabian horses show remarkable courage In battle. It Is said that, when a horse of this breed finds him self wounded, and knows Instinctive ly he wilt not be able to carry his rider much longer, he quickly re tires, bearing his master to a place of safety while he has yet sufficient strength. But if, on the other hand, the rider Is wounded and falls to the ground, the faithful animal remains beside him, unmindful of danger, neighing until assistance is brought Foot In It Again.

Auditor. SPECTACULAR MOURNING. - . . , ... fcpectnciilar mourning," says Dr Max Eeidner in a Berlin na- ur. max i eiuiier, in a iJirim pa- per, is an American weakness. The big black bordered mourning , advertisements in wliiJi we indulge ' are not to be seen here but cuds ! are not . . . , ' , with deep black borders, printed or i engraved, according to the bank account of the bereaved family, are sent to the friends who leave cards or send messines of condolence. Much display is made in this way. Black clothes are bought after a death in the family, even by the poorest people, and this mikes a deth a double blow. Some people have the courage to wear the clothes which thev have and to avoid high colors for a while, but the great majority are afraid that their neighbors will think them dis respectful, and good clothes are sold, given away or dyed. Much of this spectacular mourning is idle show and heartless, and it is noth ing unusual to see women who would think it a sin against the dead to wear anything but black, indulge in all kinds of pleasures. A woman versed in the mourning usages of this country told me that there are three distinct degrees in mourning dress. The initiated can tell if the woman is 'broken hearted aud inconsolable,' 'sadly afflicted' or simply 'in mourning.' While the American may make more dis play in the way of mourning gar ments, I have seen no black bor dered business cards like we see sq often in Europe," "In God We Trust" Not oa New Coins For the first tini2 in 3 years the inscription, "In Ood We Trust." ha been omitted from a United States' Coin of a denomination high er than the silver quarter-dollar. The new $10 gold yiecs which we'fe put in circulation a few days ago do not bear the familiar words, aud tln'3 omission has caused consider able adverse comment. The new half-eagles, of which over $1,000,000 have been minted, were designed by the late Augus tus St. Gaudens and were almost the last work upon which the noted sculptor was engaged shortly be fore his death. Their issue was delayed because the die, as origi nally made, was too deep, prevent ing the coins from stacking readily. This was remedied by employes of the Philadelphia Mint.
