At a big dinner in Rnsssa, every lady present smokes a tiny cigarette between each course. This is intended to aid the digestion and remove the flavour of the previous dish from the palate. Two-thirds of the Australian Continent is a desert, and yet one cannot fail to observe that her productiveness is enormous. That land contains over 100.000,000 sheep, and between 30,000 000 and 35.000,000 head of cattle and horses. It has given to (he commerce of the world over £400,000,000 in gold, copper, coal and tin. The two provinces of Ballarat and Bendigo alone have produced £100,000,000 of gold, and as much more has come from the great Tamharoora and Lambing Flat in iNew Soutn Wales. It sends to Britain annually over £40,000,000 worth of metals, grains, wool, beef, talii/\v l hides and mutton.
