One of the queerest sights is to see how
different immigrants carry their money.
Most English immigrants carry their
coin in small case. attached to chain,
which they keep in a pocket as they
would a watch
lishmen always have a little canvas
bag in which notes and coin are crammed
together. Irish girls, ON the other hand,
generally have their money sewed on the
inside Of their dresses.
Germans carry their money in belt
round their waists, and the belt is usually
an elaborate and costly affair, no matter
how poor the immigrant may be.
The French mostly carry a small brass
tube in which they can place forty or
fifty twenty franc pieces and remove
them very readily one at time.
There are very few Italians who do not
carry large tin tube in which they
keep their paper money or silver coins.
and this tube is hung round their neck
by small chain or cord.
Swedes and Norwegians are sure to
have an immense pocket book that has
generally been used by their fathers and
grandfathers before them, and which
has in it enough leather to make pair
of boots.
The Slavonians and Hungarians carry
their money in their long boots together
with knife, fork and spoon.- Chatter.

4 New Zealand Waterfall.

A waterfall has recently been discov-
cred in the southern part of New Yea
land which proves to be one of the most
remarkable in the world. 1t is exceed
ingly difficult of access, being almost
completely surrounded by chain of
snow covered mountains, numerous gla-
ciers and superb lakes.
The highest of all the waterfalls whose
existence is known at the present time
is one in California, whose mass of wa
ter plunges down from a height of 1850
feet.
The next in point of height is the Orco
fall OF Monte Rosa, in Switzerland,
which sends its water, in two falls, from
a height of about 2,400 feet.
The newly discovered waterfall in
New Zealand comes third on the list
falling from height of ,904 feet. This
waterfall has three falls, and the mass
OF water thrown is much greater than
that of either the Californian or Monte
Rosa waterfall.
The fourth highest is in the Pvrenees
and comes from an elevation of 400
feet.
VI course every schoolboy and girl
Knows that the greatest mass of wafer
thrown by any waterfall in the world is
that OF our own Niagara falls.-Yopth's
Companion.
