Excellent and superb as are the women of
New Zealand, more good women are
needed here. In most places where
have lived or travelled women are in
blessed majority, and it seems that the
Lord likes them better than men, because
he has made more of them. There is in
most places a surplus of good woman
hood, and they, therefore, do not get full
appreciation. But New Zealand is an
exception. In this colony there are 50,O00
less women than men. This will by cir
cumstances be adjusted. There ought
certainly to be as many women as men
in every land, for every man is entitled
to a good wife, and every woman is
entitled to good husband. The diff
Guilty is that war and rum kill so many
men that the man intended for the
woman's lifetime partnership is apt
TO lie in the soldiers grave trench
or in the drunkards ditch. In
the Paradisiacal and perfect state
the womanhood equalled the manhood,
for there was one of each kind. The
women in New Zealand have already
done well. for while in the United States
and Europe the women are discussing in
parlors and on the platforms how they
shall get their rights at the ballot box
that castle has already been stormed and
taken by the women here. After awhile
the brave sisterhoods in the United States
and Great Britain will band together
and from the crowded parlors where so
many languish in hamilton and inoccupa-
ton, they will make a crusade TO these
parts of the earth, where their presence
would be hailed and their OPP
portunities augmented. The theory
mat men must go into new coun-
tries alone and establish themselves in
mines, in mechanism or mechandise,
and then send for their families to join
them, is an overdone theory. The wives
and daughters and sisters had better
come along with their husbands, fathers
and brothers Instead of their being a
surplus Of men in the colonies there ought
10 be surplus Of women, out of which TO
get the supply of maiden aunts-thOse
guardian angels Of the community who are
az home in the whole circle Of kindred,
the confidant of the young ana the COM

Not only is there room in New Zealand
Tor more good womanhood, but there is
room for more artists and naturalists.
HERE ARE MOUNTAINS
nine thousand, ten thousand, eleven thou
sand, twelve thousand feet high, waiting
Tor some one to. take their photographs
and while most Of the mountains of the
earth stand stolid and statuesque and
without varieties of posture some of these
change their shape and altitude under
volcanic suggestion, as the man in the
Photographic gallery, at the artists sug-
kestlon, changes from side-face TO full
lace, or from frown to smile, and one day
mountain turns clear round, or from
standing posture sits down with heavy
plunge, or crevice opens between the
Cleeks Of the hill-a wide open mouth full
OF laughter or threat. The changes in
'he mountains ranges are enough TO set a
geologist wild with interest or send him
running up and down these attitudes with
erowbar 10 dig or hammer TO strike, or
tdpe-line to measure. On night in
June, 1885, the mountains Of Tarawera
ana Rotomahana, New Zealand, had a
Grand frolic For many years tourists
nad gone TO visit the 'Terraces,n as they
were caued-ancient forms OF volcanic
eruption. They were stairs of pictured
stones, stop above step Of pumice and
ava reaching from earth toward heaven
oul some OF the steps Of the stairs fifty
ana one hundred feet high; not so much a
Jacobs ladder as an omnipotent stairway
