The Fat Man.

Cesar feared the lean men. For of treasons they were full; They were dangerous and mean men, Which was worse than being dull. But the fellow fat Gin reason) With the emperor stood pat. For one cannot deal in treason
 And be fat There is death in football foray; On the gridiron there's roast: There's a hero. lean and gory. Who has given up the ghost, And his ieanness is prophetic Of a fate as hard as that. For one cannot be athletic
 And be fst Though the fatss have handicapped hin Still the fat man runs Iife's race. And ere cruel death has trapped him You will find he's won a place, And his run will be requ'ted In Q life that's calm. though flat, For one cannot grow excited
 And be fat

Sen Elephnnt Leather.

A New England sea captain named Cleveland has created sensation by bringing home a few hides of the sea elephant. giant seal thus far hunted for oil alone. The hides are said to be more flexible and tougher than those of cattle. and q process has been in vented which produces from them a grade of leather superior to anything hitherto known. The elephants have increased rapidly in numbers during the last score of years on account of their comparative immunity from slaughter. Captain Cleveland's ship is the first vessel to sail after sea eie- phant hides

WEDDING MODES.
q Bridal Gown Of Latest style and
 Other New Items.

-
 Other New Items.
 Winter weddings will soon be in full swing, and the preparations for them are going on apace. In line with all other fashions, the wedding gown grows less a thing of convention. h. dividual taste finds greater scope in it. Its aspect in general is more than ever picturesque. Among materials for handsome trained gowns are white silk. rich satin duchesse, mousseline duchesse, taffeta mousseline, crepe de chine, crepe onduline and the like. Some idea of the beautiful use of ap- pliQue laces and the fluffy softness ob- tained with ruchings of filmiest fabrics is suggested by the wedding gown H. frustrated. which also strikes distinctly original notes in the lace stole and shoulder cape device, the long pointed sleeves and the deep points of the skirt. Shirring is most becomingly used and the clusters of ball tasseis add a very novel ouch to the whole.
 At a recent wedding the bride wore a trained gown of white satin mousse line, with tulle veil caught with white ostrich tips. The shower bou- Quet was of lilies of the valley and or chids. and the only ornament worn was the bridegroom's gift of a diamond crescent Yellow crepe de chine trim med with yellow lace and a lace pic fure hat with mauve plumes furnished the costume of the maid of honor.
 White net over chiffon and satin with lace trimmings, composed dain- ty costume recently worn by a youth ful bride, with a tulle veil caught with natural orange blossoms and a bouquet of Bride roses. The pretty gown or the maid of honor was in green and white organdie.
 Much tucking and Irish point lace elaborate q simple trimmed gown of plain white satin.
 Orange blossoms. it may be observed are once more in high favor. while tulle is the popular veil unless one has some heirloom in the way of old lace.
 A single ornament is usually worn and it is the bridegroom's gift. The utW CTONu DrOOCH Ol uldluuilus Ol pearls is the latest fancy for this pur pose.
 Color. sometimes only as simple touch. is introduced in the costumes oi the bridesmaids. At recent wedding the six bridesmaids all wore white silk gowns and blue velvet picture hats and carried blue chiffon muffs. At an other the bridesmaids were in white and carried white chysanthemum bou Quets tied with pale green ribbon, while the maid of honor was gowned in deli cate green crepe de chine.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Hard Line. For the Mi.osynist.


 A stringent law against bachelors has recently been promulgated in one of the states forming the Argentine Republic.
 A man is marriageable in Argentina when he is twenty. If from that date and till he passes his thirtieth birthday he wishes to remain single, he must pay S5 a month to the state. For the next five years the tax increases 100 per cent.
 Between thirty-five and fifty the bachelor is mulcted to the tune of $20 a month From his fiftieth year to sev- enty-five S30 a month is the tax; but. having reached the seventy-fifth year, relief finally comes. and the tax be comes nominal. being reduced to SEQ a year. After eighty man can remain single without paying anything.
 There is paragraph relating to wid- overs. who are given three years in which to mourn and pick successor.
 A man who can prove that he has proposed and been refused three times in one year is also considered to have earned immunity from taxation.
 It is said that the law works like a charm.

Doctors ..~v~- = S:2giand.

The British Medical Journal ven- tured an estimate of the average in- come that might be expected by the general practitioner in England and put it at f400 to G500. The estimate was copied into several daily papers and has produced q large crop of cor respondence teeming with ridicule and indignation. The general practitioners. who ought to know. declare that only a small proportion of their number earn so much even after years of ardu- Ous work. The competition brought about by the overcrowded state of the profession is, they declare, so great that it is a cruelty to induce men by inflated estimates to enter it.

A Musical Ballot Box.

Here is suggestion from Paris which might increase registration and attract the dilatory to the polls. One ingenious person there puts forward new scheme of his own. Why not make voting an attractive pastime? he argues. To this end he has invented musical ballot box. This instrument plays popular tunes at intervals while the polls gre open for the amusement of electors. who will thus be persuaded not to neglect to vote. Moreover. this contrivance possesses another advan- tage. It records votes automatically and musically. When the one hum dredth paper has been dropped in. it will play a certain tune. The two hun dredth will start second and diff"r ent melody. and so on. The only di'i- culty which may arise is that 1t IT
 be found impossible to tear eleci
 away from the enchanting sourd~

covers. Then we reach the Petroleum
 Pool. Its thick black scum at boiling
 heat is very capable of lighting. One
 instinctively feels if his match box is
 safe, so that no stray wax vesta may
 fall into the fiery looking pool. Pass ing another sulphur volcano and an-
 other mud hole, we arrived at the Terrace. Above the Terrace is great
 cauldron of boiling water enveloped in
 clouds of steam. This water is highly
 charged with silica, and is steadily
 forming new terrace, which in ages
 to come may rival the lost ones. This
 formation is as hard as marble, and
 the water from the cauldron continu-
 ally passing over it leaves its record
 that Nature is about to repair the
 damage done in 1886. We have to
 hurry on past the Pale Blue Lake, the
 dazzling white Alum Cliff. and the
 Black Sulphur Pit. Near here, in the center of a pool of cold water there is boiling spring. Before the eruption
 it was sheet of clear cold water. We
 look with wonder at the Cream Pool,
 boiling spot where alum and sulphur seem to be mixed with oil, and the pool looks like thick boiling cream. Then comes the beautiful Green Lake. the great Sulphur Cave, where beauti- full crystals of all shapes glitter and sparkle; the Beehive, a sulphur forma- tion shaped like the old basket bee hive, and at the top there is a hole rom which escapes small current Of steam, while if you light match and hold it near the hole the steam will in- crease tenfold. Still we have the But ter pool, another mixture of boiling sulphur and alum, and more alum cliffs, upon which imagination has carved the Queens bust, and so we have the Queens walk amid the alum heights. Then comes,the Curry pool, near which the waters of the Pale Blue lake and Champagne pool meet, and an alum formation on the cliffs which the imaginative Aporo has christened ''kruger's Head.'' The Primrose Falls are really worth seeing. for with the aid of pair of field glasses you can see the falling crystals of silica, all of which gives you a panoramic view of nature that defies description. The Great Porridge Pot and the Boil ing Pool ejecting immense quantities Of black sulphur, require to be seen to be realized. But the driver and Aporo,

THE HOME CIRCLE.
A VISIT TO THE WONDERLAND OF
 NEW ZEALAND.
THE ROTONA HOT LAKES DISTRICT. REV D. J. MURRAY, THAMES, NEW ZEALAND.

On reaching Ohinemutu, our driver pointed out to us a very wonderful phenomenon, viz., two streams run ming alongside of the road, one of which is hot and petrifies wood and other substances, while the other parallel stream is cold and does not petrify. After partaking of good tea, and having had little musical entertainment at MT Gillman's hotel, we made up par ty to visit the Maori parliament. On presenting ourselves, we were told We must get an order from one of the chiefs, but this was somewhat difficult to accomplish, as they were all inside. Seeing, however, MT Nyatd Ia clever young Maori scholar and an L. L. B., whom formerly knew in Canterbury was addressing the House." I re- quested the doorkeeper to give him my card. On receiving it, Nyata showed 1t to the chief, and in moment or SC we were admitted. One of the chiefs was very polite when he ascertained l was Minister Weretana, etc., min ister of the Wesleyan church. We listened for long time to their speeches, and at the close several of the chiefs came to me and shook hands, and said several times, "Kapai,' ; which means 'goOd." Then they of fered to write their names in a little note book had, because, they said, was special Pakiha (white man). We were told it was late, otherwise they would have favored us with haka or dance, but this should be done for us before we left the district.
 On Thursday we started for Waro- tapu Valley, P miles from Rotoma. Our party comprised six persons, made up of two ladies and four gentlemen. We started at a. m., and skirting Whakarewarewa, we got through the Hemo Gorge and soon sighted the deep blue of the Puaienga lake. The road was somewhat monotonous, it being through valley which at one time was totara forest, for dead logs of that timber were strewn all over the country. Ten miles from Rotoma brought us to Takaraka, native set tlsmsnt, frsn which good view can

as well as our hotel keeper from Ohin-
 emutu, are in league, and we are hur- ried back to the coach. The horses
 are in, and we jump into our seats convinced we have not yet seen all the 1 wonders of the place, though we have seen enough for one day. We, how ever, mentally resolve upon renewing our acquaintance with Waiotapu at some date, and almost bespeak a bed at the comfortable hotel in order to take our time.
 From such reverie we are rudely awakened by the leader horses getting clear of the pole, and for moment we question if we are going to get safely back again to Rotoma, but the driver suddenly turns off the road, dashes up track, and brings us to a boiling mud hole having 50 per cent of oil in it. We climb several steps to look at this treacherous looking piece of nature, and gaze thankfully at the clear, cold lake at it's side. Coming back again on to the road, the driver POiAoo OoU WHdU IlC CdllS 'INd1OOOW Mountain," but think it is only an- other view of Kakaramea, though l say not what l think, for a tourist venturing to correct driver or guide may not only be voted an uncompli- mentary title, but may lose some val uable information which these people can give. Well, we have seen the place, and we have 20 miles before us. The ladies give permission for smoking, and we bowl along in comparative silence. When pipes are out we learn from each other how much we have travelled: the great people we have met, and so the time flies, the distance is left behind us, and we reach the home hotel, to enjoy a good dinner, after which we accept an invitation to witness "haka" or dance by the | Maoris at the Tamati te Kapua, where we admire the graceful movements of | the girls in the pretty ''poi" dance. The real haka is not at all entertain. 1 ing. Some of the calls are weird, some l but most of the movements l are disgusting. After the second poi | dance we retired, and after a bath in l the "Priests" bath went to bed tired | and thankful.
