It is an oft-repeated occurrence in Australia that a half-caste child has been removed, when 8 or 10 years old, to the surroundings of civilization, has been given an education equal to any white child of the better classes of the community, and notwithstanding this, upon coming- into contact with his own race, has returned to the black fellows' camp, ignoring book learning, fine linen, and the comforts of civilized life.

In the native police they are very useful as trackers.

This police consists of small troops of mounted, uninformed black fellows under the command of European officers. They act as gendarmes in the outlying districts and are principally used for the purpose of bringing marauding blacks to account It is not uncommon that the upcountry blacks spear the cattle on the station, or murder travelers or settlers, and it is principally in such cases that the native police becomes useful. The manner in which they surprise a camp of savage aboriginese is characteristic Having ascertained that they are near a camp some of them dismount and strip to the skin. Then they fasten their carbines to their ankles by means of a piece of rope or a chain, and, trailing it through the long grass, approach the camp. The unsuspecting blacks come to meet their sable brothers, when, quick as lightning, the trooper stoops, brings his carbine to a level and sends death and destruction into the camp.

So many young women waste time and money in laboring to sing, when singing well Is entirely beyond them, that it is a pity they do not occupy themselves more profitably In training themselves to speak properly, writes Junius Henri Browne in an article on 'The Voices of American Women" in the Ladies' Home Journal. Not many lessons would be required to make their voices smooth, even agreeable, as we see in the cases of young women who have been prepared for the stage. There is no substantial reason why American women of average intelligence, notwithstanding nerves and climate, should offend by their harsh tones.
