The WRONG ENVELOPES.

A Little Mistake that Cost Senator
Chandler Some Uneasiness.
Senator Chandler of New Hampshire.
is known as one of the most exact and
painstaking of men. He rarely makes
mistakes, and has little patience to
spare for those of others But the willy
and careful Senator was recently guilty
OF a Dlunder when cost nlm mucn trou-
BILE to rectify. 1t was nothing more or
less than exchanging envelopes upon
two letters written about the same mat
ter. The story as related by his very
dear friends runneth thus:
Once upon a time Chandler received
an invitation from Senator Frye to go
UP to one of the Maine lakes and enjoy
a spell of hunting and fishing. Politics
would, of course, come up during the
quiet evenings. Senator Chandler had
other plans, and thereupon he indited
two letters, one to his wife, which ran
to this effect:
"My Dear Lucy: have received an
invitation from Frye to go up with him
into Maine for hunting and fishing
trip; but shall not accept. Frye is a
temperance crank and never has any
thing for himself or friends to drink,
| and therefore have got out Of the
thing as automatically as can. There
is not much enjoyment under the cir
| cumstances."
The letter then ran on to detail other
domestic condolences.
The letter received by Mrs. Chandler
ran merrily along these lines:
my Dear Frye: l received your In
vitation and am very sorry that can
not accept You know Mrs. Chandler Is
very disagreeable about such things.
and so must decline. Some other time.
when | can get up good story to justi-
fy the fun"
The first intimation which Senator
Chandler had of his error was an lndig-
nant missive from the wife OF his bosom
beratlng him for his ungalant conduct
in holding her up to his friends as a
disagreeable woman.
Senator Frye, fortunately for Chan
dler. held his peace, as he did not know
whether or not the epistle was loaded,
and fancled that the contretemps might
be merely one of Chandler's little jokes.
which would have an ending disastrous
to Intermediates. The truth OF the mat
ter Is that Senator Chandler is Just as
much of teetotaler as his confrere
from Maine, but the other Senators who
have heard Of the affair are chatting
him nmercifully.-Success

1t is difficult to find liniment that

simple camphorated oil or camphor
liniment, as it is often called. 1t is val
liable for rubbing on the outside of the
throat or on the chest as n gentle stim-

chronic rheumatism, where 1t must be
applied with friction to give any relief.
1t may be purchased of the dIhggist or
1t may be prepared at home by dissolv-
fluid ounces of olive oil. In case of a
severe cold a piece of flannel dipped in
camphor liniment and heated and laid

One of the most regrettable features
of the explosion was the destruction Of

mineral spring which filled crater

overfiowing, Its transparent, alabaster-

tints Of the upper basin to turquoise

as they were called were among the
most beautiful of sights and few for
eigners going to New Zealand failed to
pay them visit. The terraces were
blotted out beneath heat of sc0riae.
Mr.. Cadell brings the interesting news
that here and there these g0rgeOusly
colored rocks are again coming into
view and 1t is evident from his descrip-

that the phenomena of this wonderland

On the sleek imported cloth.

And resent their naughty stare.

TERRACES OF NEW ZEAL AND
Pink and White Gifts Are Again Maxi
ing their Appearance


ing heir Appearance.
Henry NJ. Cadell. Scotchman who
some years ago wrote one of the best
condensed accounts of our Yellowstone
Park. has been visiting the volcanic
zone in North Island, New Zealand.
where he caught glimpses of the pink
and white terraces that were buried out
of sight fourteen years ago. This re-
glon is land of wonders. No part Of
the world, except the Yellowstone Park,
is so conspicuous for hot springs and
geysers. They burst from the ground
endlessly diversified In form, size and
chemical composition. Long before
European settlers saw New Zealand the
thermal and mineral waters attracted
the natives who had discovered their
curative properties. Mr.. Cadell says
that some sanatorlums have now been
erected here and are visited by many
New Zealanders and foreigners.
Mount Tarawera, about 1900 feet
high, was supposed to be extinct til
1886, when one winters night II sud
denly awoke. The natives who live
around the shores OF the beautiful lake
of the same name at the foot of the
volcano told Mr.. Cadell that eleven days
before the catastrophe they saw spec
tral canoe floating In the heavens above
the lake. They had never seen any
thing like II before and they believe ths
spectacle was forewarnlng that some
terrible event would occur. Miragei
are sometimes seen In that region. Th'
canoe may have been merely a phe
nomenon Of this sort or perhaps only |
curiously shaped cloud.
