And the crane where the kettle was hung,
And the lovely Dutch ovens and skillets they

But when it was hot and they wanted a lunch
Say chocolate and raspberry ROLL,
Did they have to depend on the fireplace then.
And scorch themselves up to a coal,
And grandmamma says. if the fire went out,
They had to go borrow q brand,
To kindle anew, from some neighbor or friend
For there wasn't a match in the land!
Electric and cable cars, grandmamma says,
Were made but to bring US mishaps.
And people are reckless as reckless can be,
To ride in such terrible traps:
She says it's a wonder there's anyone left,
In this era of wire and steam:
In her day they rode In the omnibus high,
Ant they travelled by stage coach and team.

It's the way people ought to do yet:
But they rush and they crush, without caring q

And I've read that the team would get fright

And the stage coach fall into the ditch.

And people were happy and wise,
And their ways, that would seem rather funny

And even the candlesticks tall.

tilated WHARF, and casting aside his
hax-woven toga lounged beside his fam
lily on the general nal in a state of
natural freedom, until the sun once
more broke from the clouds; or failing
the vicinity of a friendly WHARF, he
went after an enemy to keep himself
warm. if not dry, and consoled himself
for getting drenched by breaking the
sixth commandment. However, after
umbrellas were introduced to his no.
tice, and his visitors paid him in
gold for the use of his lands, he no
longer had the same excuse for staying
indoors or 'scoffing'' an enemy; there
fore he gradually settled down and
gratifed his lawless passions by becom-
ing a member of parliament.
But between the stages of man eat
ing and dress suits there were wars and
retaliations between the Pakeha and
the Maori which took away a good deal
of the pleasure of living in New Tea
land.
In the northern island, of which
Auckland is the capital, the natives
were the most contuInacious, and deeds
. of peculiar atrocity were by no means
uncommon. In the Kauri forests frag-
ments of human beings were frequent
iy found scattered about as they had
been tossed, after being hacked to
pieces. and. of course, the crimes were
atonce put down to the original owners
of the land.
On the other side of the bay which
stretched between Auckland and the
kings country, stood a shanty or drink
ing shop which also served as the ferry
station. The landlord and his two sons
acted as ferrymen, and did at one time
a brisk trade to and from Auckland
city, while the wife acted as hostess;
and as this shanty was the only house
which stood IN that side of the water
at the time, she had most Of the travel
ers as customers.
Behind the shanty lay the primeval
forest, dense and uncleared, with the
kauri gums rising straight and grace
full like masts from the underground of
fern trees, supple-jacks and wild mint,
and it was in this scrub that most of

Travellers were ferried over from the
city, and never came back again. or at
least never came back as they went
away; so that the mysterious murders
continued. while Tom the ferryman
and his two sons had to get most of the
return fare from the police, when they
delivered as much as they could gather
of the bered travellers for identi-
fication by their friends. A melancholy
business that ferry must have been

was to the post office; the result Of
which was that a picked body of men
accompanied Tom back to his shanty
that night, where, beside the old wom-
an. the two hulking sons were found,
with a considerable quantity of miss
ing articles which had left Auckland
with their live owners but had not been

AT A TURTLE-kILLING.
The observation-disclosures Always Used the
Most Humane Methods.

The Restaurant-keeper Always Used the
Most Humane Methods.
A good story is told at the expense Of
a Jealous official of the humane society,
whose whole energy is given day and
night to the prosecution of all offenders.
He has helped children, fed starving
horses, furnished homes for homeless
cows, rescued friendless dogs, mauled
street urchins for teasing bob-tailed
f~elines, and other charitable acts. but
it is safe to say that there is one deed
that is not recorded.
The said official a day or two ago
CHANGED to pass the door of a we'll
known chop house and saw, basking in
a shallow box in the rays of the noo
day sun, a huge sea turtle. Over the
head and shell of the am%phibious crea-
ture was running a stream of water.
To the ordinary Individual the turtle
looked the picture of ease and comfort,
but to the keener sensibilities of the h.
S. official his turtleship was the per-
sonifcation of suffering. So Mr.. Officer
wheeled about and saw the proprietor
of the place intently regarding it with
an amused look in his face. Then he
broke out:
e here, it is a shame to let that
turtle die in that way, and | want it
stopped. That turtle needs salt water"
The proprietor of the turtle feigned
establishment as he replied: why, sir,
You are mistaken. That water is salty
and runs directly from a tank on the
roof. We kill one hundred and forty
seven turtles each week and have to
use sixteen barrels of salt in the tank.
Just taste that water
The official declined the offer and
signified hat he was convinced.
You say you kill m hundred and
forty-seven turtles a week. want to
know if you use humane methods"
"Yes, sir, the most modern and an
proved methods. We are to have q
public killing at $50 this afternoon.
and you are invited to be present. Can
we count on you?" beaming sweetly.
Eyes, | will be there"
At $50 the humane official appeared.
In the meantime the proprietor had
had the turtle suspended over the tub.
and at the proper moment drew a
knife across its throat. A rush of red
blood followed, half filing the tub.
Then the colorer slyly turned a stream
OF water into the receptacle until it
overlooked and then began the lecture.
Gentlemen, this turtle did not suf-
fer a second after the ~guillotine fell.
He will bleed thus for four days, filling
five and al eighth tubs. We will then cut
him up and extract one hundred and
thirty-nine different kinds of meat for
our table, enough to feed three hundred
n sever men. This is the ninety
third turtle assasinated this week. The
next execution will take place at 5

a O u look, she watched him drag his
almost senseless companion into the
rain.
Down to the beach. where he had a
clear stretch of sand, he half-dragged,
half-carried his friend, and for the next
four hours he forced him by every de-
vice he could think of to walk about,
while the rain poured down persistent
ly, and the sea was ruf1ed. misty and
gray in front.
He kept a watchful eye on the house
and that shed in front of it, and twice
or thrice he could have sworn that he
saw the door open a little way and a
face look out from behind il. The old
oma also came from time to time to
the bar doorway and screeched at him
to bring his friend in to the ireside,
but he held on doggedly and sternly to
his promenade, casting an eager glance
seaward for the expected boat, with his
one arm round his friend and the other
hand clutching the stock of his re-
%volver, which rested inside the water
proof breast pocket of his coat.
