CUSTOMS IN NEW ZEALAND.

So far as climate and scenery go New
Zealand is delightful country to live in.
The views are often magnificent. Every
woman over tWenty-one has a vote, but
as a rule this does not matter, as all vote
to please their male relatives. Any one
who has lived in the country twenty
years and has no income can claim 500 a
year pension from the state. Some of the
mayors are women.
The Maoris of New Zealand are curl
Gus mixture of the old and new order.
There is q Maori princess today, for in
stance, who was in her youth very hand
some. She and her cousin, whom she
was to marry, won great praise many
years ago by swimming out to a wreck
through terrific sea, carrying life line
She Is quite a parsonage In society, dress
es as well as the white women, does her
hair elegantly, and has beautiful house.
But II anything brings a concourse Of ma
tives to her vicinity she at once becomes
a Maori and may be seen with the hair
SO lately beautifully coiffured tangled
about her face and shoulders and wreath
ed with willow, crouching on the ground
smoking pipe or joining the tangi, or
ncse-rubbing.
The young Maori men who have been
to college apparently become as white
men in all their ways, but after couple
of years at home drift back into their
gypsy customs.
One of the curiosities Of New Zealand
is vegetable caterpillar. What happens
Is that a wicked plant darts it's seeds
into an unfortunate caterpillar and the
seeds grow to plants sometimes foot
long. In the meantime the caterpillar
dies a lingering death. This recalls the
awful bamboo torture of CHINA bam-
boo shoot is grated on the human body
and grows, nourished by the juices Of
the body 1t Is the most exquisite torture
known.

CORAL IN FAVOR.

| jewelers. Weekly.
The popularity Of coral is growing, both
| in Europe and this country, and those
| best qualified to speak on the subject eX-
press the belief that the demand for coral
| jewelry this fall will be very considera-
| BILE. The beautiful canoes and carved
| pieces which formerly were fashionable
are no longer sought, the demand being
confined to simple forms. Almost all the
valuable coral at the present day comes
| from Italy and most of it is cut there,
| although a not inconsiderable part is cut
in Germany. 1t is imported into this
contry ready for mounting.
1t is cut either round, pear shaped, or
en- cabochon, round or oval. Heart shaped
pieces are also cut to some extent. The
round pieces are used chiefly III the form
of necklaces, guard and lorgnette chains,
sometimes alternating either with pearl
or with turquoise; the pear shaped pieces
are sued chiefly for scarf and lace pins;
and pendants, link buttons, studs and
rings are mounted with cabachon cut
pieces. The gems which seem to combine
the best effect with coral are diamonds
and pearls. In rings the stones are set
either singly or in combinations of three
| or five graduated, frequently in combina-
| ton with diamonds and pearls.
The favorite color Is a pale shade Of
| pink. For mounting, Roman gold is pecu-
| ,harly effective.
Coral, as is well known, is an animal
| product, consisting of a chalklike deposit
| made by a colony of myriads Of minute
| polypi. 1t is found in a shape resembling
tree, with branches spreading in all di-
| recttons. The present supply is almost
exclusively produced in the Mediterran-
ean along the coast of Italy, France,
Spain, Algiers and Tunis. While some
| coral is found at a depth Of forty feet
/ most Of the best coral is found at depth
! Of from 100 to $50 feet below the surface
| of the water, firmly attached to some 9TH
er object near the bottom The depth is
| too great to make 1t possible for divers to
work profitably, and accordingly a spe-
| cial device, consisting of two bars Of
| wood firmly dashed together in the shape
of cross, and supplied with large num-
| Der Of nets, is used by the coral fishers.
| This apparatus is heavily weighted and
| dropped overheard. The coral becomes
| entangled in the nets, and is then pulled
| from It's anchorage by main force.
| The dark red coral, which is more plen-
| tiful than the pink variety, is largely
| used for anklets and necklaces among
| uncivilized tribes; sometimes it is cut
| Tito large pieces, which are strung into
| girdles or used as ornaments in the ORR
| ent. White and very pale pink coral, al
| though very scarce and consequently ex-
| pensive is but little used for jewelry.

ORDERED. TO MANILA.
The Cruiser Brooklyn, Gunboats Marietta
and Machias and Other Vessels to
BE Sent to the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The President
Wednesday directed the immediate
dispatch to the Philippines of a num-
Der of vessels of the navy including
the cruiser Brooklyn and gunboats
Marietta and Machias. The action
is the result of Adm. Dewey's inter
view Wednesday in which he went over
the Philippine situation with the pres
ident.
The orders given are in line with the
expressed determination of the presi-
dent to furnish the army and navy ev-
cry resource for stamping out the Phil
ippine instruction at the earliest pos
81 Die time. At Adm. Dewey's extend
ed interview with the president We'd
nesday the former went into the Phil
ippine situation at great length, ex-
planning carefully the existing condi-
ton of affairs and his views of the out
iook, concluding with an earnest recon-
mendation that the Brooklyn and some
other vessels be sent on to the Phil
ippines. This reinforcement of the
present feet Of the Asiatic squadron
he urged as necessary and said their
dispatch should be directed as early as
possible. The president Immediately
communicated with the navy depart
ment and instructed the secretary of
the navy to issue an order carrying out

see that they be got in readiness at
once. The Marietta and Machias, be-
sides the Brooklyn, will be designated

GOLF AS A TEMPER TEST.
A Lucl<less Player Demonstrates.
How Easy 1t Is to Control
Ones Self.

A golf story which should ncrtainly be
added to the already excelen. lumber to
which the game has given birth poss esses.
an advantage which cannot be claimed for
all of them, that of being absolutely authen-
tic. An enthusiast, who was somewhat of a,
tyro at golf, though of great distinction at
other forms of athletics, had a series of mis-
fortunes with which most people can sympa-
thlze. He was playing against man whose
opinion he valued, and he consistently topped
his ball, sliced it, pulled it, lifted it into a.
tree played a fine cleek stroke into bunker,
and made extraordinary straight long-dis-
lance puts in which the ball hoped genially
across the hole into the long grass which
skirted the green.
At first the players demeanor was omi-
nously sweet; he seemed positively to enjoy
his strokes; then he grew mad; then he grew
apparently careless, though his caddie no.
ticed the carelessess was only assumed, as
he was pressing horribly. The worst of golf
is that you can never deceive either your
caddie or your ball. At last, at the seventh
hole, he grew wonderfully calm, and marched
off to the next teeing ground, remarking to
his trembling caddie that he would not
trouble to hole out. After an easy preim-
mary swing or two he topped his ball, which
trickled away about 20 yards to the right.
Then the man took all his clubs and broke
them one by one across his knee, remarking
quietly to his opponent that sit is better to
break your internal clubs than to lose your
internal temper. London Telegraph.

Heart of Bristol. Tenn, Valued

BRISTOL, Tenn, Oct. Samuel L.
King and j. w. Owen, for the King
heirs, filed an ejectment suit here
Wednesday against the Norfolk &
Western Railway Co. involving title to
real estate in the heart OF the city val
ued at $500, 900. The land includes the
cites of the Norfolk Sc Western, the
Southern and the Virginia & South
western railway depots, also the right
of way to five miles of track. The
ground of action is that the company
has violated the terms of the deed,
which was conditional, thus FORGETTING
it's right to the property involved. The
land was donated to the Virginia &
Tennessee Railway Co. NOW the Nor

FOR SAFE-KEEPING.
sword in the Vault of the Suporin-
tendent of the Navy Building.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-One purpose
which induced the visit of Adm. Dewey
to the navy department Wednesday
was to arrange for the safekeeping of
the magnificent sword presented to
him Tuesday. Following him to the
navy department was his Chinese
servant, All Soong, bearing the sword
in its Oaken casket. The admiral car
ried this into the room of the superin-
tendent of the building, Commodore
Baird, his old personal friend, and the
latter placed the gift in his big safe.
The detaching of Adm. Dewey from
the Olympia had the effect of detach-
ing Lieut.. Brumby, his flag lieutenant,
and Lieut.. Caldwell, the admiral's sec
rotary, from the duties they have here
tofOre performed for him. An order
was issued, however, directing these
officers to report to the admiral in
connection with his shore duties. This
is only temporary, to allow the admiral
to catch up with the mass of corre-
spondence and is not the assignment
of a permanent staff such as that
Adm. Porter had.

WAR IS IMMINENT.
The Beers Have Left yolksrust, and Are
Moving Toward the Frontier
Situation Most Critical

LONDON, Oct. 5-A special dispatch
from Newcastle, Natal, dated Wednes-
day says: 1.-THE Beers have left the
lager at Volksrust and are moving to-
ward the frontier. The situation is
most critical. The magistrates and
municipal officers have assembled in
the town hall to concoct measures for
the defense of the town against an ex-
pected attack. All the women and
children have been ordered to leave
for the interior of Natal.
The Daily Chronicles correspondent
at Cape Town, telegraph under date
of Tuesday, says:
For the first time in several months
J. II. Hofmeir, the frikander leader
in Cape Colony, and Sir Alfred Miner,
British high commissioner for South
Africa and governor of Cape Colony,
met Wednesday in conference. An
unconfrmed report is in circulation
that Mr.. Hofmeir has been entrusted
with an imperial mission TO Pretoria.
The Daily Nails correspondent at
Lourenzo MARQUEE reports that II. NJ.
s. PhilOmel has gone to Durham for the
purpose of landing 100 men and a gun.
Commenting editOrially on the fore
going dispatch the Daily Mail says it
considers that the action reported in
dicates great danger.
The admiralty" says the Daily
Mail, would not countenance such a
measure except in circumstances of
unusual emergency" and it thinks it
proba BILE that other British ships are
converging silently upon the theater
of action.
Il special dispatch from Pretoria
says the Transvaal government has
seized gold to the value of $500, 900,
which is now lodged in the state mint.
The government, the dispatch adds,
will indemnify the banks to which the
gold is consigned.
A dispatch from Volksrust says the
Boer camp on the Natal border now
comprises 5000 men and is growing
daily. The commissioned arrange
ments, the dispatch says, are defective.
One of the largest corps lay in the
veldt without shelter during heavy
thunderstorm. Commandant Gen. Jou-
bert is momentarily expected to as.
sumo command of the Boer forces.
Gen. Joubert has threatened to shoot
any man who moves without orders.
The London morning papers are in.
clined to regard the seizure of gold by
the Transvaal government as an act OF
war. No absolute confirmation is OBJ
tanned of the report that a Boer uiti-
matum has been presented, but the
news comes from what is usually good
