United States of Australia.
One hundred and forty-three
years ago on April 28, Captain
Cook made England a present of
the great, island-continent of the
south to be known as Australia, a
j territory just about the size of the
j United States of America, exrlu
| sive of Alaska.
It was April 28, 17 70, when
I Cook sighted the coast id' the
great island, and going ashore
and finding a wilderness of plants
and (lowers they named the spot
“Botany Bay.” It is a little
strange that this beautiful place
should have been used for a long
time as a dumping place for Eng
lish convicts. The convicts were
file-“first settlers,” and to their
credit, and to the credit of human
nataure in general, it is said that
they became the progenitors of
some of the finest people in the
country.
Sydney was founded in 1788,
other settlements were effected
and by 1821 the population of the
island was 21,705, and things be
gan to look up. Melbourne was
founded in 1837, and ten years
later the population of Australia
had risen to 190,000. In 1851
gold was discovered, and in 15
years the white people of the is
land-continent numbered 1,300,
(100.
From that time the progress in
1 every respect has been steady, the
population today being 5,000,000
and ill,000,000'. Melbourne and
Sydney are great cities of more
|than half a million each, with all
Stlie appliances of modern science,
{and (ill the push and progress of
i modei'ii civilization.
i That Australia is a coining
{country, that its future is destin
ed In be a great one, is already
assured.

Seattle, May 15.—The Chamber
of Commerce and the Arctic Club
gave a banquet to Governor
Strong, who arrived h.ere a few
days ago from Washington, I).
C., en route to Juneau to take the
oath of office as governor of the
territory succeeding Gov. Clark.
Gov. Lester of Washington, was
one of the speakers and congrat
ulated the people of Alaskt on the
appointment of Strong and the
administration upon its selection,
lie predicted a great future for
the territory and the aid of the
Democratic administration to op
en up for development the resour
ces of the last frontier.
Mrs. Pankhurst.
I’ll starve and die ere I'll eat pie
ill this my gloomy prison; John
Bull may lret and fuss and sweat,
I’ll eat no grub of his’n. All night
I dream of cake and cream, roast
beef and skillful carving, of Li
ma beans and luscious greens
and daylight finds me starving.
I dream of tea that’s not for me,
of doughnuts, clams and fritters;
do women know the load of woe
I bear for fellow critters? In days
of old the martyrs hold weyt
bravely to the burning, hut they
could eat until the heat wound up
their stomachs’ yearning. In
times far back men on I lie rack
were stretched and strained and
riven, but they had cake and pie
to break Ihe agonies thus given.
The dimmed galoot endured the
boot, but ere they made him suf
fer, and broke his legs, some ham
and eggs they gave Ihe wretched
duffer. All these might cal their
j bread and meat and still In* count -
ed marlyrs. Iml I must shrink
| from food and niusl irate my gar
ters. night I dream of pink
lice cream and sausages and
chickens, and wnen I wake al

Chairs are an acipiired tasle.
For many cenluries men go! almig
without Klein. In Africa the na
tives si|uat fur hours in a pnsi
I ion w hich wmild giv e an Ameri
can athlete seven varieties of
cramps. In Japan Ihe people
kneel and sil on their heels. The
Turk sils cross-legged on a rug,
and Ihe ancient Roman, when
slutfing himself will) rosily ..Is.
lay on a marble bench and prop
ped himself on one elbow. All
ibis proves Hull man can gel used
I" most anything' if In* Iries.
I lo 111* I less the lirsl people who
used chairs Could only sil in

I be inside of I heir knees.
Chairs are a great necessity in
American ami European homes,'
ami although some slight effort
has been made, in society, to edu
cate people to the buffet lunch and
the stand-up reception, man finds
it very difficult lo exist for more
than an hour without making an
inverted figure i of himself, as
sisted by the four legs of a chair.
The only people who have no use
for chairs are the housewife with
four children and thu $6-a-week
sales girl. The only use a busv
wife lias for a chair is to dust i(
in the morning, while if the own
er of a great store were to find
a sales girl silling in a chair dur
ing business hours, he would have
her arrested for I reason.
Chairs enable a man to com
pose his thoughts and curve his
backbone comfortably over his
work. But they can he used to ex
cess. Many a man buys a $200
desk and a $00 swivel chair, wilh
comfortable arms, and then fills
the latter until liver and kidney
trouble carries him off amid the
woe of his family and bankers.
On the' other hand, many a man
considers himself born with the
mission of filling any old rhair
which happens to be empty. These
men live from chair to chair and
also from hand to mouth, while
the vineyard calls in vain for
workers, and their wives cannot
earn much money, because they
have to deliver (he washings
themselves.
