For Instance, If a man get over Into New Bouth Wales with bank notea lasued by a banktnr compsnr In Victoria be must pay quarter of 1 per cent. xchangr If It Is a small ex change, such as a pound sterling, I Se, he must pay a al pence. centa, exchange.

alaai few memories of dear summer outings such as hare so long- made tha principal part of our live! We got desperate yesterday and went to find the wood, tha water, the open fields and summer, dear summer, befora sh goes. away. Going- to find the woods Is somewhat difficult thing thee days. When I was a child had only to go a short half mile to find ourselves ba a dens woodland, through which oae could wander for mile. Now there Is scarcely grove left standing, let alone an open wood with road running tbrongh tt Do yon remember driving throngn the open woods? Th sunlight and shadow, th arching canopy overhead, th sons; ef birds and th sight of squirrels running from tree to tree? It seems almost like a dream from some old romance yet tt hasn't been long-.

There are or two places In tha county stm where one grts the sens of driving through the woods. It lent the real thing-Jbut one can help oat wttn the Imagination. I literally pray that people will not "clear up these places, but I know reason that they will. The greed for money is so strong that men wltl sell th trea as they bava sold them, till every one is gone. People have a brutil principle of malhag good" sr their lifetime, such total disregard for coming generations.

All Ave of the mainland colonies hava terrible nightmares In which they behold th yellow swarm overtaking and awamplng- them. They must be one to stem that Invasion and they have insisted that the British empire Permit them, to construct hir'nvn nav-v and. to a certain extent, leave them alone to "mind their own business," aa far aa the Chine and the Jai tnn. cerned. The keystone of the Australian governmervt la the demand that It be a "Whit Australia." Behind that demand la the Political Labor party, which not only Insists on this federation to keep th yellow man out and thus protect the whit workers, bat also demands federa- tlon, so that the propaganda of labor and socialism can be better carried out.

It would be more difficult to carry out great labor policies with free trade South moree as the old song goes; and lose the mysterious sees of ths forest which we used to feel and which added much meaning and beauty to our Uvea. Thera was a tree on top of bill which stood bead and shoulders above all other tree. My children called it the umbrella tree. It was such, a landmark such a nobla, kingly tree but they cut It down. There was another tree that stood In a little meadow quit at the gates of a country cemetery.

It was marolficent elm and the people hitched their horses In tt shad when they brought people ta rest In the lone city of the dead. Cattle great ng the meadow found shelter from th sun under Its splendid boughs and th passerby gathered an Impression of God's beneficence from Its beauty and Its shade, but tbey eutf It down wantonly and without purpose!

Th aroldeo rod.

Sometime It waa den with foliage, then a little opening; 'would give ua a fin glimpse of tha creek and again a gap In tha rail fence would open upon a little vista of meadow newly -sfeorn.

Every branch brtdgad at tha expeoe ef the county and every byway graveled and conventionalised. I do not doubt this very lane which we traversed with such jojy is one of the seven new gravel roads we are shortly to tare.

Really It isn't a lane; it is a road, bat I like to call It a. lane because It sounds so rural and It Wales and a high tariff Victoria as they were laying side by side necessity, haying different and working standards. each. living Burden of Many Offlclala, Australlan federation haa not broucht anything like the economic advantages that were promised. It waa to cut down th coat of administration greatly.

It has not done It. and the people ara beginning to cry out against being, an they call It, "over-governed." Great Britain had a governor-general In colonies before federation. eachbf tha These gov- ernors. It should be understood, are large- ly decoratlv In function and their chief occupation seems to be to attending to aocial affairs.

These coventors were not withdrawn when a governor-General was sent out for the commonwealth, so the 4.000.000 people- are carrying good, heavy load of royal supernumeraries and decorated social diplomatic personages. A recapitulation, publtahed In the papers. show that th six governors and the one governor-general cost In round figures.

$275,000 a year. These figures, the newspapers. point out, take no account of the Interest on enormous amounts of capl- after all, every qualification of a lane-shade and seclusion and flowers blooming on both sides. In old Virginia I remember with special pleasure the bridlepaths through lonely, country places. Soma of them were so narrow you must go stngle-flle or ride very doee together, which sometimes was not a disadvantage.

Ppoonlrvg on horseback Is really not dangerous sines there is little chance of "a sigh too much or a kls too long," bat If there was even piece where It was almost convenient It was In those dreadfully narrow brid paths. I suppose 'there ara none of them left now everything seams strangely broadened and mad practical and sensible, but with my natural perversity prefer some diffi culties.

To be surs we always have that risk with our old norm, who scares so at the' automobiles, but that Isn't the sort I like. I want the difficulties we surmount to be natural one, not such as man with hug stupidity brings upon himself.

We did not have to ford the creek. There was. of coarse, a bridge, bat we did ford because we wished to, Th water was deep and green and we stood ta th creek a long time with bub Immersed" and the old horse soaking' his feet luxuriously.

After a while a visiting governor shows up with his swarm of supernumeraries and be gets a tiger or two and a round of "God save the.

The summer, bloom haa been luxuriant this year because of much rain.

There Is a blue flower of heavenly hue which, to roe, mean faith In living. Great banks of this with dainty lac plant have flourished quite clos to the roadside and the raina have kept them fresh and free from dirt This Is th flower I think when I remember Henry Van Dyke's book, "Ths Bias Flower." I csn't understand a word of ths book. Indeed, all of Henry Van Dyke 1 too highfalotln for me. Things- have got to be plain if I catch on, and when I find "hard reading" I always let It alone. It seems to me there Is always a plain wsy of saying things If they are at all "sayable." There 1 no language, however, to describe clear sunset on a la'e summer sfternoon.

One must Just feel it There is a great Joy tn It a great sorrow a great renunciation and a tender bopa. One scents some delicious Impression of childhood not consciously perceived when on waa really a child, but preserved through all the years to haunt middle age with sweet suggestions. am quite sure that when was a girt and really bad girlhood's privilege, they did not mean to what they do to-day.

Besides this exceaalve governorahlp each state, aa well aa the commonwealth, has Its own Parliament of two houses, and Its" own ministry, which. corrijonds to the llt of stata fScers in American States. -The Premier corresponds larpely to the American State Governor. There Is now a demand that these State legislatures be reduced to one-house legislative bodies, the Senate being abolished. Some also llvor extending this change to the natlonsl body.

Then It Is taken Info consideration that more than half of the States have a population of leas than tVi.OCXi and that Victoria and New South Wales, th two of largest population, have only about each, this move to economize by wiping out the state governor and one of the houaes of the state parliaments seems to be Junl Cable. 1 Population Nearly Stationary. Th population of Australia Is practically atstionary, while that of all other new countries Is on the rapid Increase. In th last decade, according to census estimates.

As In New Zealand, th sheep Is the main prop of the country, but here It 1 raised for wool production, while In New Zealand principally for mutton.

The' exports of Austrslia, considering lis sparse population and limited area of productivity, are astounding. In 194 it ran tno per capita, the chief Itema being wool and wheat.

The Imports that year ran almost per capita. The reason for this most extraordinary tradeposalWy on a per capita basis, th highest Cf any country- Is found in the very simple fact that there is, eompars-tlvely speaking, no home market and little home manufacture.
