BLACKS IEAR OF MOTOR CAR.
Eclipse of the Moon Added to Ter-
ror of White Man's Advent.
•
How the primitive savages of the
northern parts of Western Austra-
lia were doubly frightened, first
by the appearance in their midst
for the first time of a motor car,
and then by an eclipse of the moan,
is related in an interesting account
just received in London by the
Agent -General for Western Austra-
ha.
A party of mining men recently
left Wyndham on a trip of explor-
ation into the interior of East Kim-
berley district, where the abori-
gines are still numerous and in
their savage state. These natives
seldom see a white man, but they
are somewhat familiar with the
appearance of horses or even cam-
els, either ridden by whites or at-
tached to vehicles. This particular
exploring party, however, vet out
in a powerful motor -car to :traverse
the, great expanse of country.
Wheli they came among the wild
hush natives the •horseless car
created a, tremendous sensation.
Many of the blacks belted from the
strange apparition, and howled dia-
mnlly, evidently regarding the mo-
tor as a new kind of Bunyip, or evil
thing, come 'to destroy them. The
explorers had hardly reconciled the
natives to the presence of the oar
when a new evil arose and spread..
consternation among -the children of
the bush. An eclipse of the moon
occurred.
At this .time the party of mo tor-
sts were near a camp of 800 na-
tives, at a place called Violet Val-
ley, where a cattle station is main-
tained by the West Australian Gov-
ernment in; order to supply the
natives with beef;' a plan which has
been somewhat successful in pre-
venting the blanks from spearing
cattle owned by the neighboring
1lastorelists.
When the moon was suddenly
"blacked out" the natives were
'nloch1
elturbed. They malatein.

roaring singsong for the three
hours during which the eclipse last-

made by the aborigines, in order,
so they said, to fe ghten away the
"debil-clebil" that had seized upon
the moon.

In the small City of Durango
scorpions are perhaps more plentr-
ful and more dangerous than any-
where else in the republic. Here
the climate is humid and torrid—it
is in the tierra Caliente and it is
estimated that more than 1.50,000
ecorpions are killed each year, with
no appreciable effect on their num-
bers.
A scorpion resembles a diminu-
tive lobster. Some apenimens are
eight inches long, though the aver-
age length is from two to four inch-
es. The claws closely resemble a
lobster's, With them the scorpion
eruahes its prey after disabling it
by means of a sting.
Tho body of a scorpion consists
of several segmented joints, the
last five or more narrowing down
to form the tail, which curls up
forward over the body and termi-
nates in the sting. This business-
like appendage is a horny, sharp
spine containing twee little open-
ings which connect with the venom
gland within the cell of the last
segment. In striking, the scorpion.
gives the tail a rapid lashing mo-
tion forward in advanoe of the body
and literally administers a hypo-
dermic injection of poison, or ra-
ther several injections, for it usual-
ly stings repeatedly when it does
strike. --'
Ie. color scorpions vary according
to environment. One ordinarily
colorless or translucent will assume
a brown or 'blackish shade in dark
+surroundings. Scorpions live in
the cracks of the sun -baked clay,
under stones, in the chinks of the
adobe huts and in tho'oracics in the
plaster of old frame houses. .

Unless sleeping oots are wolf

Contrary to common belief, scor-

stinging themselves to dearth—at
least not in Mexico, in fact, they
seem immune to their own venom.

BUSINESS LIFE.
•
Valuable Hints Which Should Be
Studied by Young Mon,
In the making of a business man,
and in the course Of a business life,
there aro practices to be cultivated,
things to be .learnt, and habits to be
formed that are most helpful to suc-
cess. These are the most important
of them:—
Concentration upon and application
to the work in hand, to the exclusion
for the time being of .all other work.
Definiteness of purpose and thor-
oughness in deciding on a pursuit, and
in doing and learning all that is
necessary to be done or known for
its accomplishment.
Foresight and precaution; there
never was a successful leader who did
not continue an precautions until the
moment of success.
Self-confidence, without overconfi-
dence or offensive egotism—It should
rest on a thorough knowledge of what
is to be done, or on experience in the
doing, or on both.
Respect for the unknown—In every
undertaking there are difficulties that
only a familiar and practical acquaint-
ance can reveal.
Respect for tho opinion of others.
Deliberation over new ideas—Many
thoughts that are seemingly wonderful
loso their apparent value when slept
over, or exposed to impartial criticism.
Attention without interruption to
anyone who is at all entitled to be
heard. Cultivate the mind in many
directions, To know intelligently
about many things is always valuable
to a business man,
Reciprocity in all the affairs of life
It is only by reciprocity that perm-
anent success can be gained. Every
exchange should benefit both sides,
Those who feel discouraged by hard
conditions should remember that most
successful men have started under dis-
couraging conditions.—Theodore New-
ton Vail, L.L.D.

What's the Use When There's an
Easy Way Out.
Along with the tea and coffee

way out of the trouble ;

coffee drinker, and from its use I

"Bub being so wedded to the bev-

as that heal seemed incomplete
without coffee;
"On avisit, guy friends deprived
me of coffee to prove that ib was

days I was less nervous but the

Some time after the funeral a

er for the then Earl of C:ratshad
and B.alearres received an a easy •
mous letter stating that the melt
had ,been entered and the bots re-
moved, but it 'was looked en as
hoax, and no notice was taken.
One morning in December, 1881,
however, part of the railing sur-
rounding the (0111b was found down
and a slab lifted away and propped
up against the wall, :probably with
the aid of soma builder's : imple-
ments that were ]lamly owing to
alterations that wereproceeding at "
the house.
The Earl's eominiasitmer and the
police were summoned by the
frightened servanrte, and the vault
was entered. The cr,ifin had been
moved from its ,place on the shelf,
and the outer case had been Care-
fully unscrewed: The mumu one -

The end of the lead shell had been
cut away, anis the body pulled out
by the feet. No attempt had been
made to remove the valuable silver

was at once deduced That the ob-
ject of the c utrage was to obtain a
ransom fur the body from the fam-
ily.

Discovery of Body.
It.arres four monthslitter that the
first tangible evidence was received,
Souter, :in his cups, expressed to
some fraeeds his willingness to show
them the spot whore the body was
hidden. When sober' he appeared
to be al/trifled, and demanded pro-
tection against the men who, he
alleged,: had eommitietl, the trines.
His story was that while poaelling
at night on the estate he
