REAETLEEL NEM.ZEALAND.

The beautiful islands OF the Pacific lying south OF
the equator are seldom visited by American
tourists and this in large measure. Is probably
due to the lack of information In regard to the
means Of access and the accommodate tons pro-
vided. Thomas Cook s, Son. the tourist agents.
have prepared IN n compact and handy form an
interesting account OF New-Zcaland, one of the
most attractive of these southern lands. Full de-
tails are given OF the various points Of interest,
the best ways OF reaching them, and the most
comfortable hotels in each. "New-Iealand as a

Lost Through His Love for Fun.

In one of the old castles of northern
England visitors are shown two rooms
which are connected with each other
by singular mechanism. Each room
is adjoined by an alcove. used as a
sleeping apartment, and the floors of
the adjoining alcoves turn on pivot in
the center of the partition wall. This
ingenious device was the invention of
one of the ancestors of the present
proprietor, who was somewhat of
wag and found great pleasure in fright
ening and mystifying his guests. When
one had gone to bed in the green room
and the other in the blue the floors
We're turned On their pivots and on
awakening the visitor found himself in
strange quarters with clothes that
were not his own. 1t Is said that this
fun-loving lord lost rich inheritance
by thus disturbing the restful mo-
ments of wealthy aunt. who never
forgave the trick her nephew played
upon her.-St. Louis Post Dispatch
