D. 1879 It is a merit to love dumb animals, but to steal them is an excess of vir tue that is sure to cause trouble with the police. All Australians have a passion for horses, but thirty years ago the Australian bushmen developed such a mania for horse-stealing that the mounted police were fairly run off their legs. The feeling between bushmen and police became so exceed ingly bitter that in 1878 a constable, attempting to make arrests, was be set and wounded. The fight took place in the house of a Mrs. Kelly, who got penal servitude, whereas her sons, Ned and Dan, who did the actual shooting, escaped to the hills. A hundred pounds were offered for their arrest. Both of Mrs. Kelly’s sons were taint ed, born and raised thieves. At the ago the Australian bushmen developed such a mania for horse-stealing that with Power the bushranger, who de scribed him as a cowardly young brute. Now, In his twenty-fifth year he was far from brave. Dan, aged seventeen, was a ferocious young wolf, but manly. As the brothers lurked in hiding they were joined by Joe Byrne, aged twenty-one, a gallant and sweet-tempered lad gone wrong, and by Steve Hart, a despicable little cur. All four were superb as riders, scouts and bushmen, fairly good shots, inti mate with every Inch of the country, supported by hundreds of kinsmen and the sympathy of the people gen erally in the war they had declared against the police. In October, Sergeant Kennedy and three constables patroling In search of the gang, were surprised by the outlaws In camp, nnd, as they showed fight, Ned and Dan Kelly attacked them. Only one trooper escaped. At this outrage, Byrne was horrified, Hart scared, but the Kellys forced them to fire Into Sergeant Kenned 5 T’s corpse that they might share the guilt. Then Ned Kelly, touched by the gallantry with which the sergeant had fought, brought a cloak and reverently cov ered Ills body. In December, the outlaws stuck up a sheep station, and robbed the bank at Euroa. - In February, 1879, they surprised the police station at Jerilderle, locked two policemen in the cells, disguised them selves as constables, captured the town, imprisoning a crowd of people in the hotel, then sacked the bank, and rode away shouting and singiDg with their plunder. By this time the rewards offered for their cupture amounted to eight thou sand pounds, and the whole strength of the Victoria police was engaged, with native trackers, in hunting them. Had these wicked robbers ever showed rudeness to a woman, or plundered a poor man, or behaved meanly with their stolen wealth, they would have been betrayed at once to the police, but the Australians are sportsmen, and there is galluntry in robbery un der arms that appeals to misguided hearts. The four bad men were so polite to all women, so kindly to unarmed citi zens. so humorous in their methods, so generous with their gold, so daring in making war against a powerful Brit ish state, that they were esteemed ns heroes. Even bad heroes are better than none at all, and they were not betrayed even by poor folk to whom the rewards would have been a for tune. Fo> two years they outwitted the whole force of police, scouts and trackers at a cost to the sta'te of one hundred fifteen thousand pounds. But with all this the best of Australi an manhood was engaged in the hunt, and the real heroes of this adventure were the police, who made no moan through months of outrageous labor and suffering In the mountains. Superintendent Hare, In charge of the hunt, made friends with a kinsman of the outlaws, a young horse thief, named Aaron Sherrltt. This lad knew all the secrets of the outlaws, was like a brother to them, and yet, so worshiped Mi. Hare that he served with the polio* as a spy. In treachery to his kinsmen, he was at least faith ful to his master, knowing that he went to his own death. He expected the outlaws to come by night to the house of Joe Byrne’s mother, and led Mr. Hare’s patrol, which lay for the next month in hiding upon a hill overlooking the homestead. Aaron was engaged to Byrne’s sister, was dally at the house and slowly a dim suspicion dawned on the outlaw's mother. Then the old woman, uneas ily searching the hills, stumbled into the police bivouac, and saw Aaron Sherritt, the spy, asleep in that com pany. His dress betrayed him to her, a white shirt, breeches and long boots, Impossible to mistake. And when he knew what had happened, the lad turned white. “Now,” he muttered, ”1 am a dead man.\ Mrs. Byrne sent the news of Aaron’s treachery to her outlawed son In the hills. On June twenty-sixth, the spy was called out of his mother’s cabin by some one who cried that he had lost bis way. Aaron opened the door, and Joe Byrne shot him through the heart. So the outlaws had broken covei after months of hiding, and at once Superintendent Hare brought police and trackers by a special train that they might take up thè trail of their retreat back to the mountains. The outlaw's, foreseeing this movement, tore up the railway track, so that the train, with its load of police, might be thrown into a gully, and all who survived the wreck were to be shot down without mercy. This snare which they set for their enemies was badly planned. Instead of tearing up the tracks themselves, they brought men for the job from Glenrowan station close by; and then, to prevent their presence from being reported, they had to hold the village Instead of mounting guard upon the trap. They cut the wires, secured the station and herded all the villagers In to the Glenrowan hotel some two hun dred yards from the railway. Then they had to wait for the train from three o’clock on Monday morning all through the long day, and the drea* night, guarding sixty prisoners and watching for the police. They amused the prisoners, men, women and chil dren with an Impromptu dance In which they shared by turns, then with raids upon outlying houses, and with athletic feats, but always on the alert lest any man escape to give the alarm, or the police arrive unobserved. The strain was beyond human endurance. So Byrne, fresh from the murder of his chum Aaron Sherrltt, relieved his mind by getting drunk, Ned Kelly kept up his courage by bragging of the death prepared for his enemies, and, worst break of all, the local school master was allowed to take his sick wife home. The schoolmaster had been most sympathetic all day long, helping the outlaws until he won their confidence ; but now, escaped to his house, he made haste to prepare a lantern covered with a red shawl with which to signal the train. He stood upon the track waving the red light, when in the pitchy darkness before dawn, the train- load of police came blindly straight for the death-trap. The train slowed, stopped and was saved. Out of plowshares and scrap Iron, a blacksmith had forged for each of the outlaws a cuirass and helmet of plate armor, and now at the sound of the approaching train they dressed in this bullet-proof harness. Ned Kelly’s suit weighed ninety-seven pounds, and the others were similar, so clumsy that the wearer could neither run to attack nor mount a horse to escape. Moreover, with a rifle at the shoulder, it was Impossible to see for taking aim. (So armed, the robbers had got no farther than the hotel veranda when the police charged, and a fierce en gagement began. The prisoners hud dled within the house had no shelter except frail board walls, and two of the children were wounded. Byrne was drinking at the bar when a bullet struck him dead. Ned Kelly, attempting to desert his comrades, made for the yard, strolled back laugh ing amid a storm of lead. Every bul let striking his armor made him reel, and he had been five times wounded, but now he began to walk about the yard .emptying his revolvers into the police. Then a sergeant fired at his legs and the outlaw dropped, appeal ing abjectly for his life. The escape of the panic-stricken prisoners had been arranged, but for hours the fight went on until toward noon the house stood a riddled and ghastly shell, with no sign of life. A bundle of straw was lighted against the gable end, and the building was soon ablaze. Rumors now spread that an old man lay wounded In the house, and a priest gallantly ied in a rush of police to the rescue. The old man was saved, and under the thick smoke, Dan Kelly and Hart were seen lying dead upon the floor in their armor. Ned Kelly died as he had lived, a coward, being almost carried to the gallows. With the destruction of the outlaws closed a long period of dis order. Except in remote regions of the frontier, robbery under arms has ceased forever In the Australasian states. Legendary City. Cpmelot is a legendary city in Great Britain, famous in the time of King Art>jr. Brewer, in his Reader’s Bahdbook, says that there are two Camelots—the one referred to In King Lear being in Cornwall, and the one of Arthurian renown in Winchester, where visitors are still shown certain large lntrenchmenta once belonging to King Arthur’s palace. In some places, even in Arthurian romance, Camel ot seems the city on the Camel, in Corn wall. Thus, when Sir Tristram left Tintagil to go to Ireland, a tempest “drove him back to CameloL\ The Grape Cure. The “grape cure\ is practiced in Switzerland by persons who are trou bled with gout or liver diseases. The time they spend among the grapes of Mt. Pelerin, above Vevey, or Bexles- Balns, seems to benefit and calm pa tients. The juicy white grape of Switzerland is most beneficial becaus* of its easily digested «kin. - And now the doctors are telling ns not to pickle our Insides with salt. 'They say that civilization is suffering from too much sodium chloride in its soup. Observation has given rise to the medical idea that a tendency to malignancy In certain disenses Is traceable to excessive seasoning in the food. ’ Patients who have made an honest to goodness effort to cut salt out of their eats report that although the lack of it seems grievous for a few days, things begin to taste better afterward, and agreeable flavors assert themselves which were absent in the .same articles of food when lavishly seasoned. Moreover it is set forth that by cut ting out salt the fat man can reduce his weight without the anguish of a dally dozen. The Idea seems to be that the excessive seasoning of food tickles the palate nnd makes us eat more than we need. Anyone who em barks on a saftless dinner will quickly acknowledge that on such a regimen he would have no trouble in trninlng down to his fighting weight. The body needs a certain amount of salt In Its business, of course, but some of the anti-salt propagandists assure us that nntural foods like meat nnd vegetables contain sufficient salt for their contribution to the body’s saline needs. If vegetables are boiled without seasoning until the water has almost evaporated, they will be found surprisingly salty. Man became a salt eater when he censed to be a nomad and became an agriculturist. In other words, when he gave up his primitive diet of meat and milk and began to fool with bread, biscuits, buckwheat cakes and brenkfast foods. Also the New Eng land boiled dinner helped to drive him to the salt shaker. But neither roast ed nor raw meat calls for salt, nnd none Is used by those earnest epicures, the cannibals of the Congo.—New York Sun and Globe. Mirror Once Thought Magic The primitive man looking at his own reflection In a still pool beheld a phenomenon he could not explain. He saw something which was not him self, but which must be so closely re lated to himself that there was no joke in It. What is known as sympathetic mag- ic always regarded as a close connec tion existing between a person and his \counterfeit presentment.\ We know belter now, hut who is there who can see a looking glass accidentally bro ken without experiencing a secret feel ing of uneasiness? The smashing of the mirror destroys the reflected image—his counterfeit self or a surface which has borne It, as It has also borne the Images of oth er members of hls family. Therefore, he himself, or some memher of his fam ily, whispers the lingering voice of de spised, forgotten, hut Inherited belief in sympathetic magic, Is in danger. All of which accounts for the superstition that If you break a looking glass there will be a death In the family within the year.—London Mirror. He Did Being shy and self-conscious, he was lacking in histrionic ability. However, at an amateur theatrical he was persuaded to play understudy, the first night tnklng the part of a hungry tramp who had only a few words to speak. It was in the dead of winter. He knocked at the door of a lonely cabin in the woods. A woman’s head pro truded from the window. She—What do you want?

She herself has been presented on several occasions tc kings who have placed the royal and courtly kiss on her gloved fingers From others who have had similar ex periences she will “beg, buy or bor row” the gloves for her collection. King’s Son a Playwright Sons of royalty cannot openly en gage in commerce, it seems, but they do get a change at the liberal arts, In which there are profits.
