THE MAORI KING.
An English Lady's Account of a Visit to His
Majesty.

Majesty.
1t is ride of about ten miles from
Cambridge to the Maori settlement.
The houses are built of rushes, and
have no windows at all, so that from
the distance they look like so many
little hay-stacks. On entering the viii
lage II whole herd of mongrels ran
towards us, barking and jumping up
at the horses. The men. women and
children sat in groups on the ground.
the women plating plates of various
sizes, which serve for one meal only.
The men had been catching cells and
were busy with cooking them. They
had made a fire in a long, narrow
enclosure, against the sides of which
the cells had been placed, wrapped up
in leaves. The King came to meet us.
but he did not know word of English.
Fortunately one of our party knew the
Maori language, and was able to trans
late. | thought the King would look
very wild, and wear nothing but the
historic blanket. but he did nothing of
the kind, and looked exactly like II
tame rough. terribly shabby, in a torn
shirt, and trousers and waistcoat of
broadcloth, probably the remains of
the suits he wore when he was in Eng
land. He also wore a ''larrikin" hat,
with three sacred feathers stuck in it
strange mixture of civilization and
savagery. When we went into his hut
to see his wife he brought a coat, which
belonged to his European attire. out of
box and put it on, which made him
look like a tattooed undertaken. Pres
sently he showed us handsome album
filed with English beauties, which had
been given to him. The Maoris invited
us to dine with them; but, though the
cells smelt very savory and every thing
was very clean. we had not the courage
to partake Of the feast, and therefore
declined and rode away, much pleased
with having seen one of the swells of a
recent London season in his own home
in the wilds of New Zealand. Cor.

STYLES IN CANDY.
8 me New Favorites and Some Old ones
That Hold Their Own.

That Hold Their Own.
Says an American candy maker:
1.-The trade in the chocolate quality OF
candy is coming to the front very fast.
As much again of the chocolate is sold
as five years ago. Peanut and cough
candy holds its own through all the
changes other grades are undergoing.
Twice as much cough candy is sold in
winter as in summer. Cough candy
sells the best in the small country VII
lagos. The farmers and villagers think
nothing of going to the store for II
pound of the cough candy. when the
same people are seldom known to in
dulge in the luxury of other grades.
Peanut candy is all the go with the
children. 1t is likely twill be long
time before any thing else will be found
that will take its place. The class of
candy we call penny goods are prob
ably ahead of any thing else in the
market as fast selling goods. Penny
goods are such as the retailers sell by
the cents worth, generally speaking.
OF course such goods are sold by the
pound to customers. but not to such an
extent as the high priced goods. In
getting out this class of goods. the
point is to Introduce something new in
style, in the makeup of the candy
Since the 1st of January. 1888, we haze
made good hit in getting out broken
stick candy with letters and de-
signs impressed in the end of
each. For instance. in the two ends OF
piece of candy we make the figure of
the stars and stripes and in another
the figures which signify the present
year, 1888.
This style of candy sells well.

several flavors. 1t hangs in the mar

that 5 got the hang to them is the small
lozenges put up in rolls and favored
with variety of extracts. Still, the
onward march of the wafer is making
the old-fashioned roll lozenges fall to
the rear.

might say booming. We make dozen

out Working Very Hard.
An original business in which two
sisters have established themselves is
that of lady's maid-at-large, to coin a
phrase for II new trade. The elder was
for many years maid to a woman of
fashion and established something of a
reputation for arranging the hair. drap-
ing the gown, decking it with flowers
and SO on. She was unable. finally, to
submit to the exactions of her mistress,
and instead of looking for new place
struck out in II more independent line.
She had something of an acquaintance
acquired during her years of service,
and utilized this to gather a clientage
of her own. She and her sister are
settled costly in a pretty five-room
fiat, and the ladies whom they beautify
know them respectively as, say Mile.
Rose and Mile. Marie. They are Down
Fast Yankees, but their Yankee sense
tells them that maids must, of course
be French. Is pretty girl going to a
ball, a girl who hasn't maid, or
whose maid is to be trusted for ordi-
nary toilets only, then Mile. Rose must
be to the fore. Mile. Rose will catch
together the masses of lace or tulle and
put on delicate telling touches, produc-
ing effects which the pretty girl never
dreamed of before. Thew she will
take double handful Of roses
or other natural flowers and drop
them over the gown ana tack
them up just where they happen to fall,
making very flower of the pretty girl
herself. She will do the bud up in her
wraps. ride to the scene of festivity
with her and pronounce her all in
order for conquest before the belle
leaves the dressing room. Is we'd
ding on the tapis, then it is Mile.
Maiie's turn. Mile. Marie's forte
is dressing bride. Her hands
can work magic when she has
them on a bridal vail, and the young
wife who has the orange blossoms
pinned by her recommends her to all
unmarried mates. Miles. Rose and
Marie attend to the toilets and dee
crate the gowns of any number of

run from 81 and So well up into the
twenties. according to the elaborate
ness of the design, or the amount of

HORNS AND TAILS.
Two Bovine Ailments Caused by Poor
Feeding and Exposure.

Feeding and Exposure.
1t is surprising how few farmers
know that cows horns are naturally
hollow. 1t is popularity supposed that
when cavity is discovered in horn
there is something wrong. The animal
has "hollow horn," or 'wolf-in-the-
tall" or both. Goodness of the horns
and tail only indicate a disturbed cir
culation, and are symptoms OF indiges-
ton or some other difficulty to which
the treatment should be directed. A
horn may freeze from extreme cold
weather. or some injury to the head
may cause the sinuses of the horn to
fill up with pus, when boring into the
cavity, by allowing the accumulation
to escape, affords relief. Cold horns
may safely be left alone. 1t is not
best to try to warm them up by inject
ing cayenne pepper, turpentine, or
some fiery compound which can only
torture the animal. Treat the COW for
what ais her. and the horns will take
care of themselves.
In dehorning COW recently that had
been ailing for some time the writer
discovered that one of her horns was
full of pus. 1t bled profusely. more
than all the other stubs in the dairy
together, but her recovery was rapid
and she is now in fine condition. Bor-
ing the horns of an ailng animal can
do no harm. and if from any cause one
is filled it may afford relief, but it Is
not worth while to bore them because
they are hollow, for they are always
hollow if healthy. Hollow-horn as u
disease is a myth. So is that other
frightful malady, wolf-tail or tail-;,il
The fact that blood may not flow from
IN animals tail when gashed with
knife does not indicate that the tail
should be amputated. The same cause,
that will impede the circulation and
make mans hands and feet cold will
affect an animals extremities in the
same way. and while it is all right to
equalize the circulation the main treat
ment should be directed toward the
seat of the difficulty and all unneces-
sary cruelty avoided. Poor feeding
and exposure are responsible for most
of the cases of "horn-ail" and "tail-
ail' which we hear Of philadelphia

A New Use For Petroleum,

Rosin. as used in the manufacture of
building paper, is being largely re-
placed by petroleum product similar
to rosin in many respects. called "wax
tailings," or "still wax or ''petro-
leum rosin," according to the degree
of hardness to which it is reduced in
the still. An important advantage in
the use of this petroleum product in
connection with paper and fibrous sub
stances consists in its non-liability to
oxidize and produce spontaneous COM
bustion. Moreover, it is said to toughen
with age, instead of growing more
brittle, like rosin and coal tar pitch.
1t is not more combustible than rosin;
it burns slowly with a dull flame, pro-
ducing immense quantities of lamp
black of fine quality. 1t melts readily
at 200 Fab. and in that state combines
perfectly with rosin, asphaltum and
warm oil. Its use is therefore expect
ed to largely increase. Iron Age.
