I*** ;c,' ODD WAYS OF KEEPING TIME Lensly Australians Xavt Many Meth ?4a by Which They Compute th? Passing of ths Hours. Oa tbrt immense jjfeeep ranches In Australia each of the boundary riders has a district to look after. In which he has to keep the wire fences iu re pair aud *4e that the sheep come to no harm, It is a hard, lonely life. In which the rider rarely sees another human being. Many of the men have strange ways of keeping count of the days.< Oue rider, who had lived for thirty years iu the beck country, used two Jaut tins and seven pebbles. Oue tin was marked "This Week" and the oth er. "l^a?t Week." On Sunday morning he was accustomed to take a pebble out of "Last Week" and drop it Into "This Week". This operation ho re peated every morning until "This Week" had used up the seven. They were thuu returned to "l^ast Week," one each day; and the old fellow kuow when another week had passed. Another rider. n*m#d ICagan. tried several plans to keep count of the days, but always failed. At last he hit os a novel and attractive method. He made a big damper ? the name the Australians give to a cake of flour and water with a seasoning of salt? *>n Sunday and marked It into seven parts. Each section was a day's al lowance, and the slices that remained told him the number of days that must pass before Sunday came again. For several weeks this method nev er failed htm. Untortunatley, one Tuesday ha (ell in with a fellow rider who was very hungry. Baggn stinted himself, in order that the ravenous one might be satisfied with that day's section of the damper. But it was no use. The host saw the knife cut the boundary line, and the hungry rider oarve into the almanac. He could stand it no longer. "Stop, now, atop!" he yelled, as he clutched the remains of the damper and glared at hia visitor. "There." he continued, "you've eaten Tuesday and you've eaten Wednesday, and now you want to slice the best of the mornln' off Thursday! Not if I can stop it, sonny! I won't be knowing the day of the week!"?- Youth's Companion. HOLDS STRENGTH IN RESERVE Century Plant Conserves Energy to the Time Whsn It 8Hall Bloom In Full Splendor. For a mere plant, the century plant exhibits an unusual amount of good sense. , Nature decreed that Its blos soming process be fast and furious. 80 the plant spends a lifetime stor ing up reserve strength for the day when it puts forth Its flowers. Some times it spends fifteen years getting ready for ft ft flower seasoh, sdmetfinds longer. That's why we've named It the century plant Before it Is ready to blossom, the century plant Is a dense cluster of rigid, thick leaves, with a thorn on tin tip of each leaf. It grows in Mex ico and on the western desert. In Mexico it is extensively cultivated and is put to several uses. ? An extract is made from the leaves and used for soap. When the i>lant is ready to blossom, the sap is taken from the stem and made into a drink, which the Mexicans call pulque. After the flower withers, the stem is cut into slices to form razor strops. Fi nally, the leaves produce fiber, whtch is made into thread and ropes. Tricky. A senator was talking about na tional preparedness. "The man who would make political capital out of such an Important ques tion as preparedness," he said, "Is as selfish and tricky as the chap-in the station bar. "A chap hustled into a station bar. He had only a minute or so to catch his train. But the bartender was busy, and the chap saw that he stood to lose ont on being served. "Two gentlemen, each with whisky and soda before him, were conversing pleasantly before the bar. Well, wtiajt does this chap do but reach over, grab j oneof the whiskies and toss it off. "T%e owner started back. '"How dare you!' he spluttered. The - idea! Why,' that wasn't youiyj whisky!* '"Wasn't it?' said the chap. , 'Then| I guess this one must be mine, eh?' "And he tossed off the other gen tleman's drink and dashed out and caught his train Just as it was moving off.M * Reversion to Type.
