The Maoris, or New Zealanders.

From an article entitled "New Zealand"
in Appletons' American Cyclopedia,
revised edition, we quote as follows: The
Maoris, the primitive inhabitants of New
Zealand, are a tribe of the Polynesian fam
ily. The average height of the men are
five feet six and a quarter inches; average
weight, one hundred and forty pounds
Their bodies and arms are longer, and their
legs shorter, than these of Englishmen of
the same stature. The New Zealander' s
hair is generally coarse and black, though
sometimes rusty red. He has good teeth,
a broad nose, dark brown eyes, large mouth,
and an olive-brown skin, which in some is
SO far that bushes can be seen, while in a
few the skin is dark almost to blackness
The women are not handsome, though
when young they are graceful and pleasing,
with mild eyes, pathetic voices, and great
ease of manner. In tattooing, the New
Zealanders have outstripped every people.
Tattooing on the face they term moko, and
on the body icnakdiro, the term tattooing,
though of Polynesian origin, being unknown
in their dialect. The male New Zealand
ers tattoo their faces, hips, and thighs the
women their upper lips. The figures are
alike among persons of the same tribe.
The pigment used is charcoal made from
kauri gum and other vegetable substances.
Under the skin the charcoal looks blue, and
grows dark in the course ofyears. Since
the introduction of Christianity tattooing
is going out of fashion.

How to Pet CanarieS.

Says writer on canaries "In this way
| answer the question of how | had such
luck with birds Simply by allowing the
birds to attend to their own affairs, and by
letting them understand their mistrcsscs
would never harm them. Also, by aceus-
toming them to plenty of light and air and
company rather than, as commended in
books, keeping the cage in a kark room for
fear of frightening the birds. Make just
half the fuss directed in bird books over
the matter and you will have double the
success in raising birds. Never give them
sugar, but all the red pepper they will eat.
1t is the best thing for them. And if your
bird feels hoarse at any time put piece of
fat salt pork in the cage, and see how the
little fellow will enjoy it, and listen for the
result. Give him flax seed once iii while,
and if he appear dumpy occasionally give a
diet of bread and water, with red pepper
sprinkled in. Open the cage door and give
your pets the freedom of the room soon
they will come at your call and fly to meet
you whenever your voice is heard. | had
one who came regularly to my desk as
sat writing each day, and disputed with
futtering wings and open beak my humble
right to the inkstand. And when [ had
reasoned him out of his mistaken notion
he would perch himself on my pen-handle
(no very comfortable proceeding for me)
and watch gravely as | wrote. | have
many time also discovered him in the act
of eating off the corners of my paper, even
to the title of my article. Another thought
nothing of trotting about on my head and
shoulders, and even hoped under my
throat to nestle against my chin. He would
take his bath as [ held the cup in my
hand. Another would fly down or up
stairs to me whenever | called him, and
many a time when l have been out he has
welcomed my return by flying down the
stairs and singing at the top of his voice
all the while, until, at last, perched on my
shoulder, he would accompany me to my

A Wonderful Piece of Mechanism.

A CORES pondcnt at Donaldson writes to
the Pottsville Journal as follows about a
wonderful piece of mechanism: Talk about
that great apostolic clock which was on cx-
hibition in Pottsville some time ago, and
which is now before the public at some
other place 1t cannot compare with the
wonderful piece of mechanism which has
been made by man of our place. This
also is in the shape of clock. 1t is a
tank to represent the sea, and in it is large
whale as natural looking as life. A ship in
distress appears on the sea, and the crew
are in the act of throwing a man overheard,
The whale comes up out of the water, and
as its head appears its mouth gradually
opens until it reaches the man thrown out
of the ship, when it suddenly swallows him
up. No deception is practiced. The man
passes down the whales throat, and the
whale sinks into the tank Simultaneously
a figure representing an angel appears in a
cloud and hovers around the place where
the whale appeared. After the lapse Of
three-quarters of minute the whale reap
pears, and gradually opening his mouth
casts the man out upon the shore. At this
the angel and cloud disappear, and fgnre
representing God appears near the man
This scene of course represents the Bible
story of Jonah and the whale.
In the same case is figure representing
Captain Jack, of the Modoc Indians, who
was hung by the government, striking on ;
bell the seconds he had to live before execu
ton. Suddenly a door opened and groul
of Indians march around him. They ther
pass out through another door, which open
for their exit.

lation. He declares that the Vatjcan's
DEGREES have not changed the oondi.
tions of civil allegiance. The alle-
giance of Catholics is as undivided as
that of any other Christians. Cues.
tions OF conscience alone could divide
il. The recent decrees have not az.
tended the power of the Pope. The
Asqmenical Council in no way touched
the relations OF church and State. Its
decrees merely deotared doctrines
which were Already matters of faith.
The Pope cannot. therefore, BY virtue
either OF these decrees or his supreme
authority, make any claim upon his
adhsrents of nature to impair the iu-
tegrity OF their civil allegiance. He
cannot do an act contrary to Divine
law. To impair civil allegiance would
be contrary to law. The spiritual
authority Of the church was Indirect
in its operation on temporal affairs.
It indirectly condemns and declares
not Dinolng sucn temporal laws aa de-
viate from the law of God. and there
fore impede the attain ments of saliva

vanced in argument. that the Pope
might attempt to depose the Queen of
England. the writer remarks that az
the Queen is wholly Withdrawn from
the Catholic Church, every condition
is wanting which would render snch
deposition justiiable. The Arch.
bishop declares that European powers
have entered into a systemati con-
spiracy against the church, and warns
them that they are thereby wrecking
themselves. In conclusion, he saws
Giadstone's pamphlet invites Oath olics
to rebel against Divine authority, and
encourages schism, heresy and deadly

cArelessly and idly. indulging his ap.
petites, and generally leading life of
pleasure; let the other train himself by
early hours, by temperate habits, and
by giving to muscles and brain each
their fair share Of employment, and at
the end of two or three years they will
be as wide apart in their capacity for
exerting. as if they had been born
with wholly different constitutions.
Without normal, healthy condition,
there can. as rule, be no good work /;
and though that qualification cannot
absolutely be secured or preserved by
any rules, little common sense and
care will go long ways, both in secur-
ing and preserving.
On that point I would give you these
hints: First, that it is not mental labor
that hurts anybody, unless the excess
fidgetiug over the prospect of labor to
be gone. through; SO that the man who
can accustom himself to take things
coolly. which is mite as much a mat
ter of discipline as OF nature. and
who. by keeping we'll beforehand with
what he has to do, avoids undue hurry
and nervous excitement, has a great
advantage over one who follows q diff

you that those students who think they
have no time for bodily exercise will
sooner or later have to fad time for
illness. Third, when an opportunity
