GREAT COCONUT FIELDSi FIRST OF NINE HISTORICAL SKETCHES (CUT OUT AND SAVE) Papua Has 196,000 Acres of Popular Fruit—Novel Labor Conditions, Brisbane, Queensland.—In view of the approaching attempt to exploit the oil resources -of New Guinea (Papua), much interest was aroused in a report on that island recently made by Dr. Sharp, Archbishop of Brisbane, to members of the Consti tutional Club here. Sneaking of labor conditions, Dr. Sharp explained that each native be tween the age of 16 and 36 pays a tax of lCs. a year to the Government, and this brings in approximately £15,- 000. There is no foix-ed labor, except in the case of necessary patrols, and no native is compelled to do more than 60 days The nati coccnnut a month, ■T)a lur montl magi ■r^ the iv three them worki +■ FR.ON , 5EA U NTO SEA of this work in a year, es sign on for work on the •; r other plantations at 10s. end this is given to them in at the end of 12 e, by the resident•v 0! ng ? to The old wood-burner of 1867, though capable of very w”c’ „ ____ __j .

But Tommy soon laughed the no tion off, and turning on his side, looked down into the ocean, when, to his sur prise and delight, a beautiful fish was swimming in the water -close by him, almosf’Clo&e enough for him to touch. The fish was. beautifully striped Avith blue, red and gold, and- its fins sparkled as if set with diamonds. It swam round and round, looking at Tommy as if it almost knew him, and its eyes had a look of intelligence not often seen in the fi-s-h family. Tommy was delighted, and gazed at the fish with increasing wonder, as it did not seem a bit afraid of him. He half wished he had a hook and line so he might catch it. But upon sec ond -thought it seemed- a pity to take the life of such a pretty, sociable fish. In a few moments, Tommy began to sing, “Pretty fish, pretty fish, come to me,” when, to his surprise, he heard his own name spoke, and it came right from the direction of the fish, and the fish had opened lts< mouth as' if speak ing.

But after the fray he felt no more freedom in riding—he was always afraid -of meeting his foe. One day, Avhile feasting, he detect ed something unusual in one of the viands, and having it examined; found to his horror that It was poison, placed there by a servant whom he had punished for some trifling misdemean or.

So Tommy remembered King Span gle’s daughter, and passed on without noticing poor Floy. The poor girl gazed after hi-m with tears in her eyes in spite of herself, and went weeping homewards. Tommy reached his father’s cottage, and every time he ventured to speak a kind word to his gray-haired -mother and father, or do a klnd-h-eanted act for any one, the ring punished him severely, until at last he became so accustomed to cruelty and ill nature that he did not mind it at all, and the ring ceased to trouble him.
