AUSTRALIAN RAIN. When It Dots Fell It Pours Down In a Ptrfaet Flood. ' How different things are in the old world trora what they are In the far away troplcr! "They hnd no rain here for a fort night, and they called It a drought!" wrote nu Australian from Scotland In a scornfully superior tone calculated to induce the belief that it never rains in Australia and that droughts lost a hundred years. Not so. Australia Is the land of contrasts. A drought has lasted for seven years. But what is there even In Scotland to compare with the persistency of Australian rain when It does see fit to fall? For eleven weeks without stopping did' the rain continue to moisten the dry places of Sydney some years ago, washing out most cruelly the brief, bright season of winter, when the Aus tralian looks for living Instead of ex istence and peace instead of pressure. And what rain! It shot from the clouds like arrows, and the whole world was a battlefield during that July. As the arrows darted into the earth the. earth rose and dashed into the air, and rain and mud met and grappled with each other day after day, night after night, week after week. And the battle was neither to the rain nor to the mud. A strange and horrid situation arrived. Sydney ran clean out of galocbetv For two weeks not a galoche was to be had in the rain drenched city for lore or money, Then a fresh shipload arrived from somewhere or other. And then the rata stopped! London Mali ! One Trouble Aftar Another. "I have just found out about the woman opposite me after two years of mystery and anxiety,", said the flat dweller. "She is a pretty, fat, roily poly woman with a white complexion who sits at ber window half of her time doing nothing. She has a boy of about ten. Her life seemed so simple and still I didn't see bow she lived Evidently she didn't support a hus band, but who supported her? The thing worried me, but last night I found bow It was. Her husband Is a violin player who plays all night long at some concert hall and sleeps the livelong day. I'd rather work fdr my living than keep the house quiet for a hus band, who has to sleep all day, then gets up Just at the time yon want to go out for a little rollicking and plays the violin somewhere." New York Press. Gathering Rotes. I've gathered roses and the like In many glad and golden Junes, bnt sow, as down the world I bike, my weary bands are filled with prunes. I've gath ered roses o'er and o'er, ' and some were white and some were red, but when I took them to the store the BToeer wanted eggs instead. I gather ed roses long ago, In other days. In other scenes, and people said,, "You ought to go and dig the weeds out of your beans." A million roses bloomed and died; a million more will die to day.
