AUSTRALIA FELIX.
The decided preferencs for town life shown by Australians is one of the earliest facts to arrest the attention of a vialtor. Those who went out to open the country, writes a Sydney correspondent to the Globe, risked their lives at first in food, and drought, or at the hands of aborigines; but that stage-passed away, the social con ditions solidified themselves, and people settled down to enjoy the fruits of their prosperity. Taste began to assert itself; the university, schools of arts, and public libraries came into being; the desires and aspirations of leisure began to make them- selyés felt; and the increasing wants of the population aided in creating employment.
The average of personal expenditure on food and drink alone is higher than in any other country in the world:" "More meat is consumed and twice as much tos, except, perhaps, in Russia. The Australiane spend more money per head on tobacco than any other country, with the exceptiod of the United States, Holland, Turkey, Brazil, and, perhaps, Germany. In 1903 the total cost of living, for, the population of the Commonwealth was estimated at

PUBLIO AUCTION.
Thus temporarily bereft of part of her TO AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS. BY ORDER OF THE MORTGAGEES, adornment, she steps on to the measuring stand provided for this special purpose, and always kept on the promises. Now comes the crux of the ceremony. The
judge carefully wields the sliding indicator,
and, in the gentlest possible manner, checkmates any suspicion of unduly mani pulating the head and feat."
Measuring completed, the pastor entors the particulara in the brides register. The entries close with the end of each year, and it is an interesting group that wends its way to the mance on the first week-day of the year to receive the dowries.
These marriages always take place on a Friday, on which occasion there is invari ably a good turn-out of spectators, the union of a deaf-and-dumb couple having attracted a record attendance. The brides' register reveals some curious features. In one family three sisters and a brother's wife were successful in annexing the gift, and of two prize-taking sisters ode was the tallest and the other the shortest. In another instance only half a day separated one of the lucky brides from the next in
torn.
The present minister of the parish has officiated at these contests for the past twenty-one years, during which period the value of the dowries has averaged a trifle Over £6 each.::
ማ
The origin of this droll competition is decidedly interesting. One boisterous winter day a wealthy local laird observed a young couple wending their way to church to be "made one." Curious to know their cir cumstances, he made enquiries, and learnt that the mutual love of the ploughman and the ex-servant lass was their principal asset for setting up house. As a sequel the laird left at his death a legacy of £1,000, the interest of which he degreed was to be divided, annually for all time coming into five equal portions, four amongst brides, as already mentioned, and the fifth to provide batmoal, tea, sugar, etc., for the poor of the parish.
This quaint custom, besides creating. pleasurable excitement, does much material good to the humble participants. The fund, which is invested in Government Consols, at present stands at £1,133, and the last distribution-on Monday, the 1st January 1906-was the fifty-ninth.
SENSATIONAL BILE BEANS CURE.
LADY'S LIFE DESPAIRED OF.
CONSTIPATION'S RAVAGES ENDED.
YONSTIPATION, if neglected, often leads to stoppage of the bowels. Bile Beans cure constipation, by stimulating the liver to natural action, and in this way they saved Miss Ettie Palmer, of Back 253, Great Colmore Street, Birmingham, Eng
from a serious operation in the land, Queen's Hospital, and probably from death. Miss Palmer saye In my case con stipation lead to a stoppage of the bowels, I could not take nourishment, and con- sequently grew too feeble to work. Having taken to my bed, I grow weaker and weaker. It was not thought I should live. Indeed, the clergyman of the parish came to pray at my bealde, so near death was I. The doctor called in a physician, and it was Bald my only hope of life lay in an operation which might or might not be successful. I was taken to the Queen's Hospital, and prepared for operation, but at the last moment my parents stopped all the pro- ceedings and bad me taken back home. This was in consequence of what they had
heard about the power of Bile Beans, and
I was started upon a course immediately. From the first improved, and in a few

After this an attempt was made to test the sample "to destruction," but the full power of the testing machine at 350 tons failed to accomplish this result; indeed, it is understood the actual tension applied was over 370 tons. On a careful examing. tion, no sign of fracture or defect of any kind could be found. The strain applied O. 3 and 4. FAIRVIEW ROBINSON was about 90 por cont, above the Admiralty proof strain.
