A missionary orator stood on a Sydney platform. Before him* was a large audience which included many daintily man« , nered ladies. He had to describe the "customs'* of certain savages, and, of,, course, everybody wanted to know how , the darkies dressed. And this is how he' put it. They had, he said, only a single article of attire, and that was a fig-J«»*j which was still on its native treeHaS* quarter of a mile off. Having thus ad* roitly disposed of his difficulty, he, passed on to more congenial topics,, and .the, blushes disappeared from the faces in the pews.
