New South Wales Districts like the Clarence and Stephens and Manning river watershed are still the home of numerous droves of brum bies and hunting them is declared to be a very exhilarating pastime The first step taken is to stake out a corral and make all secure except a narrow entrance which can subsequently be gated On either side of the entrance and projecting from it funnel wise a booby fence is prepared To the simple minded brumby it presumably looks like a stockade and pieces of fluttering cotton make it look impregnable When this is ready the young bloods well mounted gallop out and round up the wild hon es driving them with shouts and much loud snapping of stock whips toward the mouth of the funnel In a group of brumbies there is al ways a leader and when ouce the hunters have got the leader heading for the corral they are pretty certain of the rest of the drove The flutter ing cotton rags of the sham fence aro sufficient to deter the brumlres from breaking through the flimsy barriers and in less time than it takes to tell the wild horses are safely corralled and the big gate shut on them Then they are left for four and twenty hours without food and water to reflect on the situation and after that they can be broken in without much difficulty London Standard Hearn as a Creative Artist Ilearns creative faculty began where creation is commonly held to end with the material given Of the creative gift in the sense in which the phrase is applied to the poet he had not a par ticle He was not a maker but a shaper Dr Gould puts the matter bluntly when he says He had no original thing to say for he was en tirely without creative power and had always tr borrow theme and plot And again Clearly and patently it was a mind without creative ability spring or the desire for it It was a mind improcreaut by inheritance and by education by necessity and by training by poverty internal and ex ternal The truth in these words be comes evident when one recalls the failure as fiction of every one of fleams attempts in this field and the fact that his greatest sr were won in reclothing the idi as of other men Forum Very Clever They tell a story in London of a cer tain peer who had never before shown the slightest interest in horse racing that he surprised a young man of his acquaintance by asking him apropos of nothing which horse had won the Der by The young man

Inside the cemetery Passing an aged negro heard tho two bovs Ill take this one you that oue I this one you that oue I this one you that oue etc The ucgro listened in dismay and ran away as rapidly as his old legs could carry him lie met his negro minister who called Deacon why you run in such ter ror Declare parson I been down yon der by de graveyard and over de fence heard de devil and de Lord

matter what was going on just over the fence Augusta Ga Chronicle Penguin Battles The penguin a notable diver among sea bird wins his mate by right of conquest The male birds fight for the possession of the females These cu rious birds have regular duel grounds where relics of innumerable combats in the shape of feathers lie scattered about In the center is the fighting arena clear of all debris The pen guins feathers and blubber form an efficient shield against their opponents beaks so the weapon used is the short flipper the only wings the birds pos sess The fight begins with the two combatants walking round eacli other waiting for an opportunity to grip Once this is done the flippers come into play The fighters shower blow after blow upon each other There is no record as to how these fights end but it is a safe supposition to say that they are seldom fatal The force of the blow from a penguins flipper is such that three or four of them will draw blood from the human hand How Models Make Piqtures The artist gazed in rapture on The Kiss his latest picture Do you grasp he said the pas sionate grace of the girls attitude the warmth and the power wherewith her tense ito arms draw the young man closer ever closer Well I got that idea from my model a shopgirl But for my models suggestion Id have put the girl in a stiff cold pose and the picture would never have been the masterpiece it is But ray model pointed out to me the abandon where with a girl whether of high or low station gives herself up to a kiss charm She illustrated the thing aid ed by a male model a young medical student Yes she made my picture The fact is models make with their valuable hints and suggestions lots of pictures Theres many a mas terpiece whose merit is due to the splendid pose that tho model originated for the principal figure New Orleans Times Democrat Burmas Popular Sports A form of speculation very popular in Burma is bull racing A certain na tive sportsman is the owner of one of those bulls for which he has refused an offer of 10000 rupees It has won several races and is looked after and as carefully tended as a Derby favorite The owner values it at 23000 rupees and it is said it brings him an annual income of from 12000 to 13000 rupees It is carefully guarded by four men lest it may be got at and doctored Burmans also patronize boxing ea gerly but the art can scarcely be prac ticed accoiding to Queensberry rules for Ave are told by a provincial reporter that he has observed that even the best boxers strike out with their eyes tightly shut and if they do hit each other it is more by chance than any thing else Calcutta Statesman The Wrong Lady Some young idlers had been enjoying the fun of hailing passing shopgirls with rather doubtful compliments and from some of the answers returned it was evident that not all of those ad dressed were taking thiugs kindly Presently one of the older boys seeing it was going too far spoke up Look a here now fellers he added
