V of tho Australian Blsok Follows- ” Trnoo of Poetry In tho Rude Tale ` Which Gives tho Whlto lan tho Know-

lodgo of tho Aboriginal-'l‘\\o Story.

_ The origin of most primitive tools or weapons is not, as n rule, diilicult. to tract-, for the service they render is so direct and tho need for their existence is so manifest, even to men of to-day, that their evolution is a simple matter of observation gud brief' mental calculation. The ham- mer, the nwl, the axe, and the saw were potentially invented when first a. prehistoric man cracked ~a. nut with a stone, bored a. shell with A broken bone, chipped a log, with a sharp-edged flint, or cut a groove in a spear haft, with a serrated flake of slate. As with the tools, so also with 'the weapons. A pointed stick proved its utility the first, time it was hurled at au object, and so led the human mind to recognize the value of the spear and the arrow; ~the hammer, which cracked a nut., naturally suggested the club where- with heads could be treated in n. similar way, whilo the desire for shelter from attack would. in duo course, lead to the invention of the shield, and the sword would grow out of ‘the crude armory immediately mm' came to hand-to-hand conflicts. z But what was the origin of the . Boomerang? _ i From the fact that it was found .in the hands of the Australian ab- ; original when first _the white ‘ man .landed on the shores of the great lsouthern continent, there has grown n belief that it is purely and par- ticularly a Weapon of the black fel- _ low; and that it had its origin § with him, an origin so much obscur- ed by the mists of an unrecorded past. 1 as is his own, for whence the black § fellow came is a conundrum which § none dare to answer. But boomerangs are not the peculiar property of the Australian aboriginal, as they were

~ known to and used by the Egypt- fans in days before the pyramids

i.lN_lM£n_l

5 were built, and are still to be found f among some of the isolated' aborigi- ; nal tribes of India. The peculiar pro- gperty of. the Australian black fellow, 'curiously enough, is not- a. posses- Qsion, but the absence of a posses- ; sion. It is not that he possesses the ,boomcrangg but that he does not fpossess the bow and arrow. In this ihe- is alone of all races and tribes ‘of mon upon the face of the earth, not e\'ou excluding thosc of thc low- , est human types, and in spite of the ifact, that the inhabitants of islands within a comparatively' _speaking -short distance of his coast linc _are ' nmong,.t.he finest and most powerful farcheps humanity has ever produced. 2 Throughout. the Pacif_ic_ islands* Q tho 1,_bow and arrow will everywhere be 7 found; in New Guinea it is the ai5`a.pl¢_ 2 weapon, and at the Prince o’f`~Wales' ‘Inlands, just off the northern cpast ,of Australia, thoinatives Lsltoat e.

*fknowledge in a legend which _ is not altogether without trace-of poetry. whatever may be its character as to ,_ veracity.

“Plenty long ago," was the begin-

,_ ning of the story as the writer heard `i it. “Plenty long ago" the moon was a. beautiful young gin (or girl) and the sun a fierce, ‘restless warrior of n, another tribe. The warrior, desiring T the young girl as a_wife, followed ; the orthodox aboriginal method of courtship and sought to pounce, _upon her unawares with the kindly inten- , tion of knocking her on the head I1 and carrying her od to his 'gunyali V (of hut.) But the young girl was op- . posed to his attentions, and in order

lyto protect herself she wrapped her- lg sell in a rug of black ’possum skins and only peeped round the end of __ it a. _little at a time lest her admir- !; er should see her and carry her _ off. Sometimes he did see her, and purine.. H _od upon her, but ever was she able ., to dodge behind the shelter of the black ’possum skin rug and so elude

WHEN WIGS WERE BIG. `

Tho Fashions That Used to Bala in Ing-

lnnd and Franco. ‘

In King Charles lI_'s reign in Dig-

1a.nd a physician or a. judge's ability was gauged by the size of his wig. Ladies had the hair frizzed and adorned with artificial “heartbreak- ‘ors" and “lové locks." Later' on, in William and Mary’s time, youths and children wore wigs. In those times combing the wig in public was conr sidered the proper thing. Steele'l' large black wig cost. him 40 guineasipt but it was the fashion to have nf large wig, and money was no ob; ject.

The Duviller full bottomed wigfn 3

were invented by and named after; French barber who made them conceal the elevation in the shoulder of the dauphin. Wig makers whm short of material would often resort to foul means to obtain hair, somo- times holding up children and shear-

win Atkins, Charles II.'s gout dos-

tor, wore a. three tailed wig cnrefulf-

ly frizzed and arranged to fall on .

each cheek, and for fear of `obscurin`g part of the beauty of his wig he gen- erally went hntloss_ Another man of _fame was Colonel Dalmahoy, whose~n splendid wig was a theme in popular

song of the time. '

In the eighteenth century po

wigs were used at times for nn our purposes. A Duke of ’Ho being warned, made the wig » who offered the wig to' him to it on his own head, with the

that the wig maker suddenly died

Dr. Samuel' Johnson, being sighted. was in the habit. of li a candle close to his head
