Judging hy the present rate of progress at which claims are now being entered against tbe Victorian Government m connection with tbe railway disaster at Sunshine, it looks as it the whole population were passengers by the ill-fated train. The Victorian Government should surely guard against over-crowding of such an appalling nature. For allowing bagatelle to be played m his house on Good Friday, an Adelaide hotel-keeper has been fined a quid. Yet the wowsers can play kiss-in-the-ring or leap-frog' all day, and never a word said. It's good to be a wowser sometimes, and yet it must be born m a man. You could never make a wowser out of the ordinary material. The body of a mammoth, 100,000 years old, has been discovered m Siberia. The flesh is still adhering to the carcase, and no doubt a Yankee meat trust will be formed to exploit it. Mammoth grilled steak, a hundred thousand years . old, will soon be competing with Chicago corned man.
