Australians nevei bad a common enemy, and their rec ords show no glorious war and no up rising of common feeling. The achieve ments of Australia belong to the cate gory of Individual deeds of peace. With all this the color of Australia fs gray; the land, the towns, the spirit oi l:er people. Her literature has u sober touch, and this difference In tone shows itself . In Its way in the , life of the universities. In America, as In Browning's verse, "the flower of life Is red." The American student knows thrrt "the world Is his oyster." He knows that "he can get what Is coming to him;" that In proportion to his talents, his training, his sobriety and persistency of purpose will lie lib success In any affair he undertakes. But though Australia may be gray and monotonous she Is vast, patient, fascinating. The mightiness of UK land to lie conquered, the huge room! ness of the continent, the vistas of fu ture national greatness, all these grow on one, and all these find their reflex In the student life and In the rising literature of the commonwealth.

Flemish artists are believed to have been the first to make tapestry for use as a covering for walls. The art Itself is certainly very ancient, many of the hangings used in Egypt ami Greece being considered true tapestry. Its stibseiiueiit history Is obscure, but It evidently maintained n lingering ex istence In the east until the Saracens revived It and brought it to Europe. Tapestry was used by the Saracens only as drapery or curtains for the courts of their houses. Embroidery appears to have served for this pur pose iu northern Europe until after the twelfth century, and much of the work of this! period was really em broidery, such as the Incorrectly named Bnyeux tapestry, it was li the four teenth ceiiit'.ry that tapestry began to tie largely made In Flanders. wiere the weaving Industry became wry impor tant.

The color Is rich, the dec orative effect strong, the drawing and composition graceful, and the whole arrangement shows consummate skill in endeavoring to meet the exigencies of the loom and at the same time the aesthetic requirements of wall decora tion.

When Lieutenant Henderson was captured by the natives of the Gold Coast hinterland they got into a wordy discussion as to how they would kill him. The victim listened awhile till he was weary of It. "Oh, well," he said, "I can't lie botliered with your arguments! ' I'm very sleepy. Let me know when you have made up your minds." And off to sleep he went The unexpected performance saved his life.

The fur seal Is a laud animal of per verted tastes, who, living at sea. has had his paws changed Into .Upper very like the long black kid gloves of a woman. His heart, liver and kidneys are exactly the same as those of a sheep and just as good to eat, but his flesh, allhoiigh Just like fat mutton t; look nt, Is rank and distasteful from his habit of eating fish. The whole package Is put up lu a parcel of thick white fat to keep the body warm, while from the skin grows a heavy crop of beautiful brown fur, protected with large Hat oil bearing haint. mak ing a glossy surface which slides through the water without friction. Perfectly fearless, overflowln:; with fun, a perfect little athlete, marveloiif! ly strong, the fur seal Is the most de lightful of all wild creatures. Hut. al though they live nt sea, the seals, be ing heavily clothed In fat, skin mil hair, find the temperate latltudeu much too warm for comfort during the sum mer mouths. Since they cannot shed their garments H';o ourselves, ttiey migrate to a subarctic climnte, gather ing in immense multitudes where there are fisheries to support them. Theli ration Is fifty pounds of cod every day, which for a creature tho size of a sheep Is considerable. Exchange. A STORY OF THE SEA. The Man Who Braved the Storm and the Sailor Ha Rescued. Off the coast of Ireland there was n terrible storm, mid a crowd gathered on the shore to see a storm tossed ves sel not fur away being pounded on the rocks. Sturdy men launched a boat and pulled nway at tho oars to rescue the Imperiled ones. As the boat came back the watchers on the shore cried,- "Did you get them?" and they answered: "All but one. We had to leave hlin or risk the lives of nil." And when they were .landed n stnlwnrt fellow stepped h-om the group mid said, "Who will Join me In the rescue of the remaining one?" Then nn aged woman cried out: "Oh. my son, don't go; don't go! You are all I have left. Your father wa-i drowned nt sen, and your brother Wil liam sailed away, and we; never heard from him. nnd jiov If you nre lost I will be left in sorrow nlone." But the man replied: "I must g i, miVhci. Duty calls me.",, Then he and other brave hearts launched the rial pulled for the wreck. .'..::;iously tho mother waited In tears and prayers.

Discrepancy In Computing the Date Not Corrected Until 1752. The observance of Easter dates back to about the year 118, nt which time there was much contention among the eastern and western churches as to what day the festival should be ob served. It was finally ordained at the council of Nice In the year MS that It must be observed throughout the Chris tian world on the same day. This de cision settled that Easter should be kept upon the Sunday first after the fourteenth day of the first Jewish month, but no general conclusion wns arrived at as to the cycle by which the festival was to be regulated, and some churches adopted one rule and some auother.;.Tlii9 diversity of usage was put an end to, and the Uomau rule making Easter the first Sunday aftor the fourteenth day of the calen dar moon was established in England In (Mill. After nine' 'centuries n dis crepancy In the keeping of Enster was caused by the authorities of the Eng lish church declining to adopt the ref ormation of the firegorlan calendar In 1582. The difference was settled In 1752 by the adoption of the rule which makes Easter day always the flr-'t Sunday after the full moon which ap pears on or next after the twenty-first day of March. If the full moon hap pens upon n Sunday, Easter Is the Sunday after.
