B1.-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 womanhood, and they therefore do
not get full appreciation. But New
Zealand is an exception. In this colony
there are so, 900 less women than men,
This will by circumstances be adjusted
There ought certainly to be as many
women as men in every land, for every
man is entitled to good wife, and
every woman is entitled to a good hus-
band. The difficulty is that war and
rum kill SO many men that the man in
tended for the woman's lifetime part
nership is apt to lie in the soldiers
grave trench or in the drunkard's ditch.
In the paradisaical and perfect state
the womanhood equaled 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 dis
cussing 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 crowd
ed parlors where so many languish i'll
inanition and inoccupation they will
make a crusade to these parts of the
earth, where their presence would be
hailed and their opportunities aug
mented.
The theory that men must go into now
countries alone and establish themselves
in mines, in mechanism or merchandise
and then send for their families to Join
them is an overdole theory. The wives
and daughters al sisters had better

theirs and brothers. Instead of their being
surplus of men i'll the colonies, thole
ought to be surplus OF women out Of
which to get the supply of maiden aauis
those guardian angels of the conn.,. u
nifty who are at home in tie whole cir
Gle of kindred, tho eonfdant of the
young, and the comfort of the old, a..d
the benediction of ALL
Not only is there room in New Hcs-
land for moro good womanhood, Int
there is room FOR more artists AID naia-
ralists.
Here are mountains 0,00o, 1a,0oa,
11,0o0, 12,0eo feet ligh waiting for
some one to take their photographs, and
while most of the r,oa,tairs CT the
