THE SA LVATION ARMY IN AUSTRALIA.

The doings of , the somewhat s extraordinary clans ef .people who .join the Salvation Army have attract* d renewed attention uf late, owjrig to the arrival in the colony of a leader in tho movement, from England. His tenchihjr has agitated ttio armien to a pitoh bordering upon fanaticism. In our rtketoh, afmnlo repenUnfc flinnor ia »hoit*n in tears, her lender's hnndri gently placed on her shoulders, evidently oxhortinw 1 her to throw up the paths of vice. The raved soula in the adjoining picture me likewise sorrowing when they oujrht to be rejoicing. The tibia leader Htands majestically over the saved ones, and would appear to be administering absolution. The "spiritual exhortation " if a remarkably forcible illustration. The hall in Port Adelaide ia shown crowded with followers of a mixed type, eagorly devouring tho words which fall from the lips of the excited preacher, who with arms outstretched is able to balance on the chair. The " Marching on to Zion '' will be recogn'srd at* u truly characteristic illustration. In the midst of a ohoru<», the _ leader, banner in hand, in boldly stepping onward, followed by a mob of street Arab* and roughs, who boo-hoo and joatle the corps, to the inteu.se delight of the spectators. The I latest sensational announcement of the Port Adelaide section of the Army attracted attention and critism. Salvation Army ! ! narracWs. Port Adelaide 3rd Corp*, Monday, February 26th. War !

A Pointed Tale.— Jack Pringle is a man who never wasted an opportunity, or puts off for to-morrow the joke that can be done to-day. Going down street last Wednesday he was accosted by a little nervous man who had an impodi* mont in his speech, Said the stranger ; "C-can you t-tell me w- where I ctn g-get s-some t-t«tin t-taeks ?" '* With much pleasure, sir," replied Jack, who realised the position at once, and, having directed his interlocutor to the shop of a neighbouring ironmonger, by a somewhat circuitous route, hurried off to the spot by a short cut. Now the ironmonger was having his dinner in a little back parlour, but when Jack entered the premise's he came forward briskly, bowing and rubbing his hands together in that peculiarly servile manner that is characteristic of the British shop-keeper. "Do-y-you s-sell t-tin t-tacks?" said Jack, assuming a stammer. " Oh, yes, sir; certainly, sir." "G-g-good long ones?" "Yes sir; all sizes, sir." " W-with s-s-sharp points ?" " Yes, sir very sharp points." " W-w-well then, s-s-sit down on 'em, and w-w-wait till I c-call attain." Haring "given his order," Jack thought it prudent to re« tire at once, as there was several heavy articles within easy access of the proprietor's hands. The old man had hardly cooled down and returned to his meal, which had also cooled down unpleasantly, when the " real Simon pure " entered the shop, and again the ironmonger came fortn, "washing his hands with invisible soap in imperceptible water." "Do y-vou s-sell t4-tin t-tacks?" said the little man. Luckily the door was open, so the customer successfully avoided the seven pound weight and the two flat-irons hurled at him. As to the remarks made by the dealer in ferruginous goods, the printer says that they " run too much on sorts," and -i he is not going to cut up a lot of rule to make dashes. — Detroit Free Press.

Formerly it was so, but now, thanks to T. B. Htix, who has himself dwelt in the bush, if food docs consist chiefly of tinned meats his Colonial Sauck gives to them a m«st delectable flavour, making them as well of the plainest food most enjoyable, and instead, as hard biscuits and indigestible'damper his Improved Colonial Raking Powder makes the very best bread, scones, cakes, and pastry -far, superior and more wholesome than yeast or, leaven.
