An Extraordinary Island.

In the bay Of Plenty, New Zealand.
is one of the most extraordinary is
lands in the world. 1t is called White
island and consists mainly of sulphur
mixed with gypsum and few other
minerals. Over the island, which is
about three miles in circumference and
which rises between 800 and 900 feet
above the sea, floats continually an
immense cloud of vapor attaining an
elevation Of 10000 feet. In the center
is boiling Jake Of acid charged water
covering so acres and surrounded with
blowholes from which steam and sui
phurous fumes are emitted with great
force and noise. With care a boat can
be nayigated on the lake. The sulphur
from White island is very pure, but
little effort has yet been made to pro-
cure it Systematically.

Brushing a Derby Hat.

Some men will buy two or three
black derby hats a season, and these
will always look rusty and old. Other
men will buy not more than one a
year. and that will never lose it's deep
and brilliant gloss.
"I'll tell you why it is" said one of
the best dressers in town the other
day. "It is because one man brushes
his hat with stiff bristled whisk, and
the other rubs his softly with a piece
Of wooden cloth. The felt Of hat is
such delicate stuff that stiff whisk
applied to it has pretty much the effect
that currycomb or rake would have
onSa suit Of clothes. 1t wears the nap
off, exposing the bare gray foundation
in short order.
"a piece of wooden cloth, rubbed
over a hat with circular motion that
conforms to the grain, doesn't rub off
the nap at all, but keeps it lustrous
and firm and of good color. | buy one
$3.50 hat year and rub it each
morning with bit Of flannel | guar,
antee that it outlasts three So hats that
are raked and scraped with wnisks ev.

A Famous Duel.

A duel was fought in Texas by Alex

was shot and Shott was not. In this

There was a rumor that Mott was not

which proves either that the shot Shott
shot at Mott was not shot or that Mott
was shot Notwithstanding.
may be made to appear on trial
that the shot Shot shot shot Mott or as
accidents with firearms are frequent 1t
may be possible that the shot Shot
shot shot Shott himself, when the
whole affair would resolve itself into
its original element, and Shot would
be shot and Mott would be not
We think, however, that the shot
Shott shot shot, not Shott, but Mott.

A Grotesaue Creature.

The Maori is not strictly beautiful
but he is valiant and. let us trust, good.
AS for his better half, in her native
dress, with tattooed lips and chin and
long, single eardrop of greensboro and
with an appropriate background of
tree fern or ii tree scrub, she is savage
and not unpleasing. But in town, when
her fancy has been permitted to riot
among the violent aniline dyes of the
diapers cheap lots and she is dressed
to the bent of her barbaric taste, she Is
hideosity.
Begin at the ground and picture a
pair of large, fiat, brown feet and
thick ankles appearing beneath a bad
ly cut skirt of some bowling design in
checks. Above hangs short and dis
proportionately full jacket Of scarlet,
purple, magenta or green velveteen. A
neckerchief of yellow, blue or crimson
encircles the neck and topping all is a
grotesque tattooed face half concealed
by the tapping frills of brilliant pink
sunbonnet.
No sketch Of Maori lady Of respect
ability is complete without a pipe

worn in the mouth, the united effect
of the pipes. the frilled bonnets and
the gorgeous gowns being to bestow

Not a Question of Ownership.

President Eliot of Harvard told this
story at a dinner:
"a friend of mine, college pro-
fessor. went into crowded restaurant
in New York city for luncheon one hot
day last summer. The negro in charge
of the big corridor where the hat
shelves stood was an intelligent look
ing fellow. and his bow and smile were
not of the obsequious, stupid kind SO
often affected by colored walters and
doormen in hotels. He took my friend
hat and gave no check for it in return
An hour later. when the professor
came out of the dining room, the negro
glanced at him in comprehensive
way, turned to the shelves and handed
him his hat.
''My friend is man who prides him
self on his powers of observation, anC
the negroes ability to remember to
whom each article of clothing belonged
struck him as being something very
wonderful.
GLOW did you know this was my
hat? he asked.
"I didn't know it. sah,' was the re
ply.
"'Then why did you give it to me Z?
the professor persisted.
Because you gave it to me, sah'
