OROST 48 TIPSTER.” Signor Crotta, the stationmaster Sicignano, near Naples, speculated one franc at a weekly lottery last Saturday, and now finds himself in consequence tho.j lucky winner of £24,000. On learning

Craits is also ketting apart a sum for massca on behalf of his dead aunt, whose ghost, he avows, appeared to him in the early hours of Saturday morning, bidding lim gamblo on four numbers which she revealed to him, all of which oventually proved lucky. ones.

A MAN WHO NEVER SINE'S,

Mr. Albert Herpin, of Trenton, West- ern Australia, is said not to have slept for thirty years. In an interview with a tcpresentative of the Sydney Morning Herald, Mr. Herpin, who is now sixty years old, stated that he passes bis nights in a chair, not even momentarily experiencing drowsiness. He was at- tacked by this strange malady shortly after the death of his wife, more than thirty years ago. Mr. Herpin states that ho suffers no inconvenience from this pro- longed insomnia, and often dreams while he is awake. He has come to the con- { clusion that sleep is not necesary to a man, and is delighted at the idea that he has not lost a great part of his life in unconscious99.

"WRITER'S GRAP" A MISNOVIER, Biological tests by scientists at the Lon- don Hospital show that "writer's erazap" and other similar states of apparent mus- colar paralysis are actually dug not to the tiring of the muscles, but to brain fag. It appears that the particular part of the brain which controls special com- binations of musule action, such as the Movements of writing or the working of a telegraph key, tend to become more quickly exhausted in some individuals than others. Such exhaustion leads to a state in which the brain is actually un. able to send out its necessary messages to the hands and fingers to write, tap a key, hold a violin bow, and so forth. ·Fur- thermore, once the nerve cells, the "bat- terios of the brain, get thoroughly run down it is not easy to restore their energy. Heretofore it has been supposed that all troubles of the kind were due simply to overtiring of the muscles.con- cerned.

**THE DEAD HEART OF AUSTRALIA." Mr. Bryce has evidently made a groeb impression upon Australia. Though we are not at all sure that undiluted praise is good for the Commonwealth, says the Pall Mall Gazette, we are in warm agreeTM ment with one remark which he made on leaving. He said that the old idea that Australia is a fertile strip surround- ing a desert was quite a mistakes one, and that the whole area was valuable." Mr. Bryce is quite correct. That un phrase, The Dead Heart of Aus tralia," has done infinitely more harm to the popular conceptions of the Com- monwealth than was -ever wrought in the case of Canade by Kipling's appellation of "Our Lady of the Snow's," There is no dead heart of Anstralia, and the salt-encrusted dis- trict of Lake Eyre is really a local pheno meson. The salt-bush country may not give such compact sheep-grazing pastur age as more fertile land, but its huge extent helps to redress the balance, Dry- farming and other expedients are revolu- tionising Australian agriculture: It is amazing to think now that not many decades ago the Australians themselves believed they could not grow wheat more than fifty miles from the sea.

THE LAPSE OF KISSING.

Our ancestors seem to have been fonder of kissing than we are. In 1466 a Bobe- mian nobleman named Leo von Rosital visited England, and in the Journal of his Travel published in 1577 he noted: "It is the custom there that on the ar rival of a distinguished stranger from foreign parts the hostess with a her family go out to meet him, and the guests are required to kiss them all; and this among the English was the same na shak- ing bands among other nations." The learned and sedate Erasmus, in 1499, wrote a Latin letter from England to his friend Fausto Anfelini advising him to come here at once, for, he rernarks, here are girls with angels faces who vil re- ceive you with kisses. They come to visit you, kisses again. Should they met you anywhere, kisses in abu: lance; in fine, wherever you move, there is nothing but kiss." A Singapore contemporary in reproducing this extract appende the fol

lowing lamentation--Men From the Far East on their rare and well-deserved visits to England, do not find that this delight- ful old tradition survives, as it should. Kisses, per table d'hote tariff, los all the spontaneous savour of those of the days when old Erasmus enjoyed himself and called to himself others to share his delights,

IN THE GRIP OF ANAEMIA

Year after

year tens of thousands of the weaker sex drag out a weary existence. To them life has no real joy for lack of the sparkling health, abounding energy, and buoyant spirits which make it worth
