An area of three million acres Of the
most fertile land in New Zealand has just
been dedicated to prohibition and that for
ever There is q provision in the Licens-
ing Act of the colony which was inserted
with this object in view. 1t provides that
if the native owners Of any land on which
a license for the sale of intoxicating drink
has not yet been granted make application
to the governor to have their lands exempt
from the operations of the Licensing Act,
the governor in council shall make procla-
nation declaring that no license for the
sale Of drinks shall be granted within such
areas. For many months past some
friends of the Maori race have been actively
exerting themselves to bring the knowl-
edge of this provision before the minds of
the natives, and have succeeded in obtain
ing the cordial assent of the whole people,
from Tawhiao down, to have their lands
protected from the demon of intemper-
ance the application has been presented
and proclamation made in legal form. 1t
is interesting to know that, the proclama-
tion once made. there is no provision in
the act for recalling the prohibition from
the land, which can only be done by a
special Actsof Parliament.

A CURE FOR SNORING.

1t is related of Sir Humphrey Davy,
an eminent scientist, that among his
minor discoveries was theory of snor-
ing and q way of curing it. He attri-
buted snoring to dry or parched state
of the larynx caused by mouth-breath-
ing, and in an inveterate case he tried
to cure it by putting piece of CASTLE
soap in the mouth of the sonorous
sleeper. He found that this plan was
successful-the oily ingredients of the
soap lubricating the larynx, while
"the soda of the soap is forcibly ex-
PEELED in the form of strong alkaline
language by the snorer, who awakens
the moment the decomposition be-
gins" Soft soap is said to be a more
powerful remedy for the same purpose.
Snorers, who prefer to escape the appli-
cation OF this means of cure, may do SO
by retiring with handkerchief tied
under the chin and over the head,
which will keep the mouth shut and
the throat moist.-HedlM Monthly.

There is one form of advice which
all young men will hear, and most
young men will follow. 1t is thought
by its givers to contain the quintes-
sence Of wisdom.
It is this: "My friend, knowledge,
science, art and culture are all very
good things (; but you may have them
all and yet starve. First get money
enough, and then devote yourself to
culture, aud the ornamentation OF your
nature"
This insidious argument has wrought
more ruin to the human soul than all
Its vices put together. 1t selects one
of the elements of truth, the knowl-
edge of the use of money, or of the sup
plying of our material wants, and
banishes all the Others 1t has made
as q nation of materiaiists and mann
mon worshipcrs.
Seek truth-the truth about money,
about matter, about mind, art, science,
RELATIONSHIP it in your youth, in
your manhood, and as you look over
the edge of your grave. John S'0inton's

A WIFE'S POWER.

The Shreveport Times thus puts it:
A good wife is to a man, wisdom
strength and courage; a bad one is
confusion, weakness and despair. No
condition is hopeless to a man where
the wife possesses iirmness decision and
economy. There is no outward effort
that can counteract Incidence, extrav-
agance and folly at home. No spirit
can long endure bad influence. Man
is strong; but his heart IS not adamant.
He needs tranquil mind; and if he
is an intelligent man, with a whole head
he needs its moral force in the con-
fiict of life. To recover his compospre
home must be a place of peace and
comfort. There his soul renews its
strength, and he goes forth with re-
uewed vigor to encounter the labors
and troubles of life. But, if at home,
he finds no rest, and there is met with
bad temper, jealousy and gloom, or as
sailed with complaints and censure,
hope vanishes and he sinks into des
pair.

TONSORIAL ARTISTS OF PERSIA.

In Persia the barber shops are entir-
ely open. One of the common sights
in the streets ofTeheran is man seated
on the pavement against wall while
q bayber shaves' the crown of his head.
The BARRIERS trade is among the most
importantin Persia. The customs en-.
joined by the Koran, or religious law,
makes it indispensable that BARRIERS
should abound in the country. The
Koran makes 1t honorable for man to
wear beard, but commands the
shaving ofthe head.
There are two great sects among
those who accept the Mohammedan
faith--the Sheas and the Sunnees.
The latter are all Turks and they shave
the whole crown, excepting tuft in
the centre by which the archangel may
draw them out of the grave. But the
Persians are Sheas and the shave the
centre Of the head from the forehead to
the neck, leaving long curl on each
side. It was curious to see even little
boys with their heads thus polished.
The PersiAns consider it great dis.
grace to lose their side curls. AS they
all wear turbans, or black conicaI caps
Of Astrakhan lambskin, no one would
suspect the head to be shaven until the
cap is taken of. Then, indeed, the
appearance of the head is exceedingly
grotesque.
It Is evident that the care OF the hair
is very important question in Persia.
But this Is not all. One rarely sees a
gray beard or gray locks in Teheran.
Even the most venerable men have
dark or red hair. The reason is be.
because all, from the highest to the
lowest, dye their hair. This is done
first with heuna, which gives 1t red
dish tint. Many prefer to leave it
thus. But many add to the henna
