Wive* of "squattore." or fa fin en. la
Austral tn ?re often left entirely alone
at tbe farmhouse and nre more or less
subjected to danger In consequence
A traveler writes: "1 kuow of u squat
ter's wife who was left to her own de
vices in this way. while all the men
of the station were mustering cattle?
a business which on large open plains
takes weeks to complete. One morn
ing a party of natives arrived a.id.
ilndlng her alone, demanded food,
threatening death If she failed to bring
It. *Oh. yes,' answered the lady coolly,
speaking their own dialect, '1 feed you
well, very well, now master away.
You come along a kitchen. You sit
down all the same white man. I get
you budgory tuck-out' (splendid food).
In no time a score of blacks were
squatting round the kitchen, while the
lady produced all the food available.
Then she tilled all the pots, kettles
and billies she could tlnd and put them
on to boll? for tea. as doubtless her
guests thought ? while they gobbled
and Jabbered, growing more and more
uproarious. Presently the water boil
ed, and then my lady ? her natural
compassion slalu by her desperate
need? seized a quart pot In either hand
and dashed the boiling water along
each row of naked figures. This she
did again and again, shrieking, 'I give
you budgory tuck-out!' while the blacks
yelled In pain and terror, tumbling over
each other to get out of the house,
screaming that sho waB no white wom
an at all, but a dibble-dibble. Neither
could they ever be Induced to return
to that station, Inhabited, as they were
convinced, by a dangerous devil."?

MISPLACED MONUMENTS.
Helplee* F igurea, Soiled and Grimy, In
Stone and Bronze.
The ordinary run of statues, unless
they are royal, have only one real
pleasant and satisfactory day In their
existence, and that is the day they arc
unveiled. If stone, on that day they
are spotlessly clean. If bronze, tfiey
arc nice and shiny. After that they
are never clean or shiny again. It has
? o 1 t!u? slatno of a very exalted per
bonnge for the soot to bo scraped off
and t.i have Its face washed once n
year. The average hero has to be sat
isfied wLh being unveiled. After that
ao one tal i any -further Interest In
him. But It Is most Instructive to ob
serve the unholy skill with which the
soot and other accidents of the air
will lodge on the top of a venerable
bald head and on the surface of what
should lie an Immaculate frock coat or
a well fitting uniform. A Roman toga
that has met with accidents Is not half
so ridiculous as a bronze frock coat
and Immaculate bronze trousers that
have been the .scene of disaster. Stand
; lug in front of the statue of a great
I statesman, a man notably tidy In his
i day and a great worry to his valet, 1
I studied the undignified results of a
| family of sparrows that had set up
I housekeeping under his elbow and
thought how Indignant he would be
could he catch a glimpse of this un
seemly domestic arrangement. ? Mrs.
John Lane In Fortnightly Review.
Lost Hor Prestige.
A New York woman, not being con
tent with the reputation she enjoys of
being one of the most beautiful women
In her state, has literary aspirations.
Recently she was a guest at luncheon
when the conversation drifted to books
and plays. Various discussions follow
ed. The beauty took part and express
ed herself freely. But when she asked
her listeners whether they considered
Ibsen a psychological and patholog
leal writer she handed out a stunner.
A graveyard silence reigned until one
girl, who was bolder than the rest, ask
ed what pathological meant
Here Is where the beauty lost liter
ary prestige.
