’ KANGAROO MEAT. ) Why ths Native Youngster* of New Guinea Refused It. In certain parts of New Guinea the 11 wallaby, n species of kangaroo, ure very plentiful, end the traveler In I search of sport finds the pursuit of them an exciting occupation. Wallaby steak Is a refreshing change from canned meats, and the natives ure only too glad to have the remnants of the 1 carcass. A writer in an English magazine tells an amusing Incident connected with the animal. 1 He had been ashore in one of the sparsely |*opulated regions of the coast s and secured four wallaby, an ample supply for the whole party, native guides and servants ineluded. But he found that, although wallaby is re- ' garded ns such a delicacy that no trouble Is considered too great to oh I tain It. none of the native boys in the s party would touch it. This was a mystery until one of them explained that they had been f trained In childhood in the belief that f if they nte wallaby before reaching a certain age it would stop their growth. These boys all belonged to the part of the country where wallaby are few. and one can Imagine the crafty old folks seated round the festive pot and t winking at one another as the young j people declined the succulent dainty. , LACEMAKING. An Old Legend That Tells of the Origin of the Art. ‘ Lacemaking is by no means so old , an industry ns most persons suppose. There is no proof that It existed previous to the fifteenth century, and the oldest known painting In which it ap- ’ pears is a portrait of a lady in the ■ academy at Venice painted by Caspacclo. who died about 1523. The legend I concerning the origin of the art is as . follows: A young fisherman of the Adriatic was betrothed to a young and beautiful girl of one of the isles of the la- ■ goon. Industrious as she was beauti- > fui. the girl made a new net for her , lover, who took it with him on board his boat. The first time be cast it into the sea he dragged therefrom an exqui- - site petrified wrack grass, which he ; hastened to present to his fiancee; but. war breaking out. the fisherman was pressed into the service of the Venetlon navy. The poor girl wopt at the departure of her lover and contem- ■ plated his last gift to her. While absorbed in following the intricate tracery of the wrack grass she began to twist and plait the’threads weighted with small beads which hung around ’ her net. Little by little she wrought 1 an imitation of the petrification, and thus was created the bobbin lace. Too Realistic. During a performance of “Captain 1 Lapalisse” at a Valencia theater some years ago an incident occurred which i for lifelike effect left nothing to be de- , sired. Duriug the said play some of the actors mingle with the spectators in order to co-operate from the body of the house. No sooner had Miralles, t the actor, taken his seat in the stalls - than a daring pickpocket robbed him ! of his gold watch. Miralles seized the . man by his coat collar and called out tn a deep bass voice: “Police! Help! Thieves!" The audience, taking this little epi- • sode to be part of the performance, roared with laughter. Even the police- . men joined in without stirring hand or foot. “This is no farce!” cried the actor in tones of despair. “The fellow bus 1 got my watch!" ’ The voice sounded so natural that - the audience broke into loud applause at "such excellent foollug." Meanwhile | the thief managed to break away from his captor and escaped. A Judicial Expert. ! The native with a stogie met the native with a pipe. „ “Howdy. Zeb?" quoth the stogie na- ’ tive. “Hear 'bout th' fuss down to ’ th’ courthouse?” “Nope." drawled the man with the pipe. "What was it about?” I “Why. Jim Simpson has been suin' Abner Hawley for alienatin' th' affections of his wife, an' Jedge Mus- ■ grove told th' jury to bring in aver- ■ dick of G cents damages, ’cause he thought that was all the damage was . worth to Jim. An’ Jim’s wife got mad an’ threw a chair at th' jedge. an' he had her arrested an' put in th’ cooler." “But didn’t th’ jedge go a leetle too far when he fixed her value so low?” “Not at all. not at all! You see. he was her first husband.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Singer and Orator. “If I had my way.” Dr. Macnamara once confessed to an Interviewer. "I should be singing in •Carmen’ instead of making speeches from the treasury bench, but unfortunately the British public thinks a great deal more of a man who can make a bad speech than a man who can sing a good song.”— Westminster Gazette. To Reform Him. Minister—You say you are going to marry a man to reform him. That Is noble. May I nsk who it is? Miss Beauti—lt's young Mr. Bondclipper. Minister—lndeed! I did not know be had any bad habits. Miss Beauti— Yes: his friends say that be is becoming quite miserly. Anticipation. "‘Doesn't it make you the least bit envious to see what elegant furniture Mrs. Eyefly Is putting into her honau next door?” “Not a bit. My busband says it will be sold by the sheriff within six months—and I’ll be there to buy It”— Chicago Tribune.
