The Australian Method of Dealing With . the Pests. "

Rabbits are the greatest pest the,

Australian pastoralist has to contend against. If these rodents are at all numerous on a station property, they do enormous damage to the grass, but the pest Is kept down to the lowest possible limit in every district of the commonwealth at great cost. The most effective method of dealing with them is hereunder explained. In summer when any water that might have been lying about has been dried ap by evaporation and the grass

has become dry rabbits swarm toward the tanks, dams or other water holes that have been sunk for stock drinking purposes. .:.x .'v-. Pastorallsts take advantage of this, and every evening after The cattle have partaken of their last drink a Strip of wire netting is run around the tank or dam. Outside-this netting fence holes are dug in the ground and filled with poisoned water, and these in turn are Inclosed by another strand of netting, pegged down te within a few inches of the ground, being sheep proof, but allowing plenty of roesa for rabbits to get under. The rabbits make for the dam; but, as their way Is barred, they drink at the poisoned holes, with to them disss trous results. . In the morning are to be seen hundreds and thousands of dead rabbits scattered about the country. Melbourne News. .

The New Phillips.

There is a breezy freshness of the spring southern wind about the novel

and original sketch being put on by

the Crane Findlay company at the

New Phillips these three days. The

title of the skit is "The Room Mate,"

written by Robert Findlay Bush, a I

breezy young Yale man, who is starr

ing in his own play under the name of

Robert ; Findlay. ' Mr. Bush has forg

ed to the front gracefully and with

enthusiasm, as it has been scarcely a I

year since Bob was pushing a pencil back in New Haven with the same

grace and enthusiasm. The name ofl

the paper was the Palladium and Mr. Bush said that it certainly made him feel at home when he happened onto

the Palladium office in this city. Bob

is carrying with him A. Rearborn

Derou, an Amherst man and Miss Cecile Crane, a charming young lady

from Springfield. Mass. The com

pany is second to none and gave the

audiences a continuous scream yester

day. ; :

There is no better ventriloquists on

the road than McCormack and Wal

lace. Mr. McCormack is wonderful

and Miss Wallace has a solo voice of

rare power and beauty. Their act is

applauded continually.

That Upside Down Duffy is an artist in his line. He is a balancing

fiend and a trapese performer.
