1t had been exposed ito the light and

Is now fully an inch In length. Prob
ably the most peculiar feature Of the
affair. however. is the fact that the hair
has spread from the two patches until
1t has entirely covered the blanket with

to a critical inspection by several repu.

town stands a large, heavily built
stone building. This Is the home Of
the Central family. 1t was built In
1924, and has two entrances, one for
the men and one for the women. Some
improvements have since been added,
and II now includes, besides the sleep
ing and meeting rooms, a cookery,
bakery and dining hall. All of the
apartments are roomy and scrupulous-
ly clean. The mems apartments are on
the opposite side Of the hall from the
women's. The two sexes eat apart, at
tables on opposite sides of the dining
hall. This division is carried out
through the entire village.
The meeting-room is on the second
floor. A few benches are scattered
about. At worship there is usually
one person in the congregation who
leads In the singing and speaking. At
intervals they are visited by an elder.
Among the Shakers no memory Is
held more sacred than that Of Elder
Harvey Eads, who died a few years

loved minister of the Shakers, and
their writer, whose works still inspire
them to never-failing loyalty.

A tourist wandering alone upon the
edge of bog Mt the foot of Ben Nevis,
had the misfortune to miss the proper
path and stumbled into bog, where,

him to his armpits in the tenacious
mire. In this terrible plight he espied
stout Highlander not far away, to
whom he cried out ut the top of his
voice:
"Ho-what no. Donald! Here-come
here, manw

lander said. approaching the spot.
''Never mind what your name is! Do
you see the plight am in? l can never

Indeed, mon, dinna think you can"
And with thatihe turned away.
''GoOd heavens, are you going to leave
me here to die?" the tourist cried.
''Eh-d'you want me to help your

"Ay-if you want me-"

Indeed, mon. why didn't you ask that

And the Highlander quickly lifted
him out and set him on hard ground.

His entire capital was $35 In worn bills

the. fortune-seeker Of the story, how
ever, he did not bring with him the
blessing and the fearful good wishes of
his white-haired mother. For his
mother had been dead these fifty years.
Nor did he bring with him from the old
home farm two strong arms and the
courage which comes of a clear eye and
a healthy life In the fresh country air.
Seventy-one years OF hard work have

tall figure, and taken the elasticity out

and then sold under the hammer. One

could do to feed her little ones after

phrase comes reverently from his lips,

Not even the most pronounced friend

case when q monastery became well
established, with lands Of its own and
tenants and laborers by whom most
of the work was done. The members
Of a religious order had great adj
vantage over their secular neighbors
in one very important respect; they
were freed from concern for the fu-
ture. AS long as they lived they could
be certain Of having a roof above their
bodies. Every one who struggles with
the world for his livelihood knows how
serious are the fears that sometimes
arise lest he should be unable to make
living for himself and his family,
and Of this fear the monks knew moth
ing. All care removed save that of at
tending to the days duties, the men,
bers Of a religious order naturally felt
easy In their minds; as general thing,
good humor prevailed in convent,
and the worthy brethren, having plen-
ty to eat and drink and plenty of time
for digestion, naturally grew fat.
Fat men are not always good-humor-
ed; good-humored men are not always
fat; but In some mysterious way there
is a connection between good humor
and adipose tissue, and the common
belief in this connection cannot better
be expressed than by the old proverb
which inculcates the duty of ''laugh-
ing and growing fat" The monks Of
those orders which were not so rigid

MANIAPOTO THE MAORI.
A New Zealand Warrior Who Died
of Old Age, Not of His Name.

A New Zealand Warrior Who Died
of Old Age, Not of His Name.
Rewi Maniapoto, whose death was re-
last Of the great chiefs of the Maoris,
says the Westminster Gazette. He was
born In 1907. and was a warrior and
leader In council among the Ngatimani-
apotos from his youth. His earliest
years were passed amid savage scenes
Of intertribal strife, ambuscades, fierce
hand-to-hand battles, massacres and
cannibal orgies. HOugi, chief Of the
great northern tribe of Ngapuhi, visited
London, was petted by Exeter Hall,
patronized by George w., presented
with suit Of armor and a gilt crown
and loaded with gifts. At Botany Bay,
on his way back, he converted these
into guns and powder, and, on landing
at the Bay of Islands, proclaimed him.
self the Napoleon of New Zealand, en-
tered on career of slaughter and
rapine, and swept the country south of
Auckland with fire and sword. His
victorious march was stayed by the
Waikatos and NgatimaniapotOs and the
tide Of conquest rolled back northward.
1t was in these and subsequent inter-
tribal wars that Rewi won his reputa-
ton as fighting chief.
When Sir George Grey, as Governor
of New Zealand, declared war against
the WaikatOs in 1863, Rewi became
one of the leading Maori generals. For
two years the struggle ragged with vary
ing success against 10000 British
troops. supported by powerful squad
ron, but step by step, and contesting
every inch Of ground. the Maoris were
pressed back to Orakan, where Rewi
made last heroic stand with 800 or
400 followers, the remnant of his tribe.
He was besieged by 800 British troops
for three days, during which the garri-
son was without water and subsisted
on raw potatoes and maize. At length,
after repeated assaults had been re-
pulsed, the flying sap broke into the
trenches and storm of canister and
musketry swept the works. General
Cameron. with a soldiers chivalrous
admiration Of the spirit and bravery Of
the enemy, offered terms of capitula-
ton. Then slight, wiry figure, with a
closely tattooed face and fiery, gleam-
ing eyes, leaped on the breastwork and
flung back this stern defiance: SKA
whawhai matau, tomo, axe, AXE, akew
1--WE will fight on forever and ever and
ever!" The stronghold was carried
with a rush, but Rewi and a few others
escaped.
Realizing the hopelessness of the
struggle, he successfully exerted his in
fluence to bring about a peace, and
since that time he has been a consistent
and loyal ally Of the Europeans and a
promoter of every movement for the
welfare Of his countrymen. To the last
his affection for Sir George Grey was
simple and touching. A few months
ago. when he felt that his end was nigh,
he expressed desire that they should
rest side by side In one grave, and only
n few months before his death hand.

which have appeared during the last
few months, giving sketches Of the rise
and decline of the system, together
with exceedingly interesting descrip-
lions of what may be called the home
life OF the monks. BY means of these
data We are able to learn much OF the
manner In which great monasterfes
grew from humble beginnings; how
large companies of ascetics were gath
cred together by talented and infiuen-
tial ecclesiastics, and how many socie-
ties increased, sent out branches and
finally grew to such proportions that
they numbered their colony houses by
hundreds and the members Of their or
der by thousands.
The reason for this interest, as at
present manifested, is probably to be
found in a better appreciation Of the
work done by the monastic establish
ments Of the Middle Ages. For long
time the prejudices of writers pro and
con. In favor of and against the sys-
TEN, confused the popular mind and left
1t uncertain whether or not the monas-
teries had been q good. Some classes
were powerfully prejudiced against
them, believing them to have been hot
beds of vice. sinks of moral depravity,
while others were just as strongly bias
ed I'm their favor and traced all the good
or modern times by one course or an
other back to the monastic establish
ments Of medieval days. The truth,
as In all cases of this kind, is probably
to be found on q middle ground. 1t Is
probable that many monastic estab-
lishments degenerated from the sim
plicity of their founders. that increas-
Ing wealth induced luxurious living,
and. possibly, also in some cases depra-
walton of manners, but, OH the other
hand, 1t should not be forgotten that
to the monastic establishments is due
most of the good which existed dur
ing time when the civilized world
was continually at war. For a thou
sand years monasteries were the only

Since banks are usually heated with

take the popular fancy, for In art, as In
literature, few are serious, and he who
amuses Is more likely to touch the pop
ular fancy than he who aims to in
struct. As a rule the artists Of the pres
ent day who have sought their subjects
in the monastic life Of bygone times
have preferred the gentler aspects OF
religion, and their pictures show us
what may be called the comical phases
of monastic life.
The humorous sides Of conventional
life have attracted the attention of
many artists who have delighted In de-
picting the monks at play and the
monks at work. The transcriber In the
library. the repasts of the assembled
brethren, the music In which they in
dulged In after lunch, their rambles
through the fields. their labors In the
garden, their kitchen work, with its
busy preparations for the coming meal,
even the ridiculous features, the monks
at see-saw enjoying the sport as much
as children might, the whole community
fishing on Thursday afternoon In order
that they might not fast so arduously
ON the following day, the accidents Of
daily life even more comical when pre-
sented In the case Of a monk than when
happening to other people, all have re-
ceived their need of attention, and
paintings by the hundreds have been
executed within the last few years,
both In Germany, France and England,
setting forth in n serio-comic style the
fun Of monastic life. Seldom satirical,
rarely caustic, the painters seemed to
find special delight in depicting In
kindly fashion the manner in which the
old monks lived, and the life of these
refuses is through this art medium as
well known to us, perhaps even better,
than 1t was to the people of their own
time One of the leaders In this style
of art Is the famous Gruetzner, whose
monks are known to every frequenter
of picture gallery, to every collector
of art photographs. His monks are the
best -natured and among the latest men
in the world.
The paintings Of this new German
school are really jocose SANDER on
monkish life. No doubt there were
