In i
Prosperity of the Maoris.
'"New Zealand has more debt in pro-
j>rtion to its size and wealth than an .
fcher country in the world,’’ said Father
Tinsel. “There was a great deal of
faith in gold mining for a time, hut the
yellow ore failed to materialize in stifii
• Cient quantities to put the miners' busi-
i Hess on a |laying basis, and the mines
wore temporarily abandoned. The Eng
lish have not given up hopes yet, and
Companies are beginning to take hold of
the enterprise of hunting gold again.
The Maoris, or natives, call their houses
waoris. They raise potatoes and corn,
dig guru or do anything for a living, and
they are very intelligent people. The
Maori people are better off almost than
the whites, liecause they i>osses3 a lot of
land that the whites do not. They have
the king country, and their gardens,
fruit farms and horse pastures are well
taken care of. They are very fond o!
horses and kceiflotsof them. They hu
vegetables, guns, c< ifTee, tea and grocei
ies in the towns. Their war dances art
interesting, and at them they have all
sorts of games. Sometimes they become
warlike toward the whites and refuse to
let them pass through the exclusive
Maori country.”—Globe-Democrat.
The Making of Fancy Candles.
In the big factories lozenges and mot
toes are stamped in the sheet and then
cut out separately with patent cutters.
Wafer lozenges are more carefully pre
pared than the thick, round kind. The
latter are fed into a machine like a job
printing press, by the sheet, and come
out round, hard confections. afers are
cut by hand. Fruits are now crystallized
to some extent by wholesalers in this
country, but not as successfully ns in
France. Opinions differ on this matter.
Some dealers declare that here the fault
alone is in thequality of the fruit. Others
assert that we have not acquired tin*
French secret of preparing the syrups and
getting them to penetrate to the heart of
the fruit. The finish of fine candies F
put on by wholesalers in the same way as
in retail houses, where all work is per
formed by hand. The syrup used in the
process of crystallization is used "‘in the
making of clear candies and stick goods.

IIotcIs *f the Dtbridiw
The hovels wtra as cheerless within as
without. 1 do not know why k is one
takes liberties with the poor one wcmld
not dare take with the rich. It is no ■
small evil of poverty that it is everybody’s 1
privilege to stareat it. The people of Har- ‘
ris are hospitable, and receive the stranger j
with courtesy, but you can 6ee that they i
resent the intrusion. It is not, 1 fear, to j
our credit that curiosity got tl>e better of j
our-scruples. We knocked at a cottage |
door one Sunday afternoon, J , as
excuse, asking for a light. As we drew .
near we heard the voice of some one I
reading aloud. Now it was silenced, j
and a tall oki man in his shirt sleeves
came to the door with an open Bible in
his hands. Within, on the left, was the
dwelling room of the household; on tne
right, the stable. Cattle and family
share the only entrance. Into the room, j
through a single pane of glass, one ray I
of daylight fell across the Rembrandt j
like shadows.
On the mud floor, at the far end, a fire j
of jieat burned with dull red glow, and ■
its thick, choking smoke curled in clouds i
about the rafts and softened the shadows, j
We could just make out the figures <>f ! other System
two women crouching by the fire, the J
curtained bed in the comer, the spinning j
wheel opposite. All other details were i
lost iii gloom and smoke. Until you see j
it for yourself, you could not believe that
in our Nineteenth century men still live
like this. MUs Gordon Cumming says
that to the spinning and weaving of the
women “is due much of such comfort,
a3 we may see by a peep into some ot
their little homes. ” But our peep showed
us only that women weave and men
work in vain, and that to speak of com
fort is mockery In a cottage of Harris,
or, indeed, in any cottage we saw in any
jiart of the islands. For all those we
went Into were alike in their poverty and
their darkness. As a rule the fire
burned in the center on a circle of stones,
and over it-, from the roof, hung chain
and hook for the kettle. They have net
changed one jot or tittle since, a century
ago, they moved Pennant to pity.—Eliz
abeth Robbins Pennell in Harper’s Mag
azine.

A Lack of Taste.
One of the most irritating of the reeeif
idiocies of tourists is the fashion of leto
ing cards at the tombs of distinguished
people. The bust of Longfellow in West
minster Abbey is constantly surrounded
by these inappropriate bits of pasteboard,
and the grave of “II. H.’’ is said to lx
literally covered with the visiting cards
left by tourists who climbed the lonely
mountain near Colorado Springs to visit
the last resting place of the poet and
novelist. Nothing but an abundance of
the most egregious vanity and absolute
lack of taste could prompt an action so
idiotic as the following of this absurd
custom.—Boston Courier.
Th« Long Coach Whip Pennant.
Many people have wondered what i.
the significance of the long pennant car
lied at the main truck of all vessels of
war in commission. When the Dutch
Admiral Van Tromp hoisted a broom at
the top of the mast of his vessel to indi
cate his intention to sweep the English
from the sea, the English admiral hoisted
a horse whip, indicating his intention to
chastise the Dutchman. Hence the
coach whip pennant was adapted as the
distinctive insignia of a war vessel in com
mission for service.—New York Tribune.
Another Pne for Photography.
The latest use to which the magnesium
flash light has been put is the photograph.'
of the human eye. At the suggestion ol
Du Bois Reymond, a normal eye, after .
quarter of an hour’s rest in a darken,
room, was photographed life size, the re
suit being that the photograph sho"
the pupil of the eye dilated to its fuller
extent. As these photographs permit \
measurement, they cannot fail to ae m
great value to medical science.—Thor
graphic News.
The Origin of a Poem.
Longfellow’s poem of this title tells
how the Moravian nuns “consecrated the
banner in a chapel or church and pre
sented it to the hero with injunctions
that he should Ixar himself with bravery
and magnanimity under its folds and
that if he fell in battle the banner should
bo used ns his martial cloak and shroud.”
The concluding lines nre:
And the warrior took that banner proud,
And it was his martial cloak and shroud.
It is a fact that Count Casimir Pulaski,
visiting Lafayette when he lay sick at
Bethlehem, Pa., in 1779, procured a ban
ner from the Moravian Sisters in that
place. But all the pretty garniture
woven by the poet around this simple cir
cumstance has been brushed away by
historical research. The sisters did not
live a cloistered life, and Pulaski bought
the banner from them in the prosaic
order of trade, for by selling this kind of
work they supjtorted their house. On
the death' of Pulaski the banner passed
into the hands of Capt. Bentalou, of Bal
timore, and is now in the possession of
the Maryland Historical society in that
citv. In a newspaper interview Mr. Long
fellow told the origin of the l>oem in
these words: “It was one of my early
works. I wrote it while at college. 1
read in a newspaper that the Moravian
women at Bethlehem had embroidered a
banner and presented it to Pulaski. The
storv made an impression on my mind,
and one idle day 1 wrote the poem. 1
called them Moravian Nuns liecause 1
had gathered from something I had read
that they were called nuns. I suppose I
should have said Moravian Sisters, but
but the change doesn’t spoil the ro
mance.”
