Nairobi is really the dividing line be-
tween the NASSAU and Kikuyu tribes.
For years the tribes of East Africa
were in constant fear of NASSAU. They
are pastoral people without fixed
abode, living from their flocks and
herds. AS recently as 1895 they MUIR
dured a caravan of 1000 men, killing
as we'll the white man at it's head.
But they are becoming fewer and

larger one in the center. Out of the
center pit the dirt was shoveled into
the outside pits. Ten old women
brought water in their native gourds
holding a big pail full. This they
poured into the dirt, then four men
got into each pit and danced until dirt
and water were properly mixed; then
it was put into moulds and turned
out to dry. So our bricks were made.
Our rafters are Of Athi river palm
fronds. We sent natives for one hun

size of our palms. In two rooms we
have board floors, native wood sawed

slightly out of fashion. Our work here
is encouraging, although we have been
moved to this new place less than a
year. DR. Henderson, the mission doc

present to US. No native would live
here as it was detiled with human
bones. Formerly all the cattle about
were kept here and the hill strongly
fortified. Immense pits were dug clear
around the hill and filled with sharp
ened sticks, in case raiders came; but
during the dreadful famine four years
ago. when the people were weak from
hunger, the NASSAU came in and killed
most Of the people who survived the
famine. 1t was literally covered with
bones when we came. Now we have
them buried or burned, the natives
are free to come here. No Mkikuyu
would touch bone or dead body.

filled the ex-senator'S parlors. After
this very luscious and tempting feast,
almost indiscribable, all repaired to
the spacious veranda, and while bask-
ing in the sunshine, picture of the
company was taken amid beautiful
surroundings. After wishing the host
and hostess many happy years in
which to scatter JOY and gladness in
their pathway like the present, amid
the evening shadows their guests re-
paired to their respective homes, over
flowing with conviviality land loud in
praises, declaring that this must be
chronicled as one of the best dinners
and visits on record.

A REMARKABLE CASE.

One of the most remarkable cases OF
cold, deep-seated on the lungs
causing pneumonia, is that of Mrs
Gertrude e. Fenner, Marion. Ind, who
was entirely cured by the use of One
Minute Cough Cure. She says: ''The
coughing and Straining so weakened
me that ran down in weight from l4s
to % pounds. l tried a number OF
remedies to no avail until l used One
Minute Cough Cure. Four bottles OF
this wonderful remedy cured me en-
tirely of the cough, strengthened my
lungs and restored me to my normal
weight. health and strength. S. j.

Next day walked out to Ohinemutu
with the gentleman who had been my
companion to Tikitere. The morning
was spent in visiting the very interest
ing places of this spot, rambling round
the Maori whares or hutS, amid hot
springs, steam jet and boiling mud
holes. At SOME of the springs the
natl We women were washing their linen,
a number Of the steam jets were being
utilized for cooking purposes, and in
several of the springs the youngsters
were bathing, the scene being alto
gether very fascinating and pictur-
esque one. In this locality there is one
Of the largest meeting houses or WHARF,
punis of the Maori's and it has some of
the finest specimens Of Maori carving
to be found in New Zealand. During
the lunch hour we arranged for drive
to the "Fairy Springs" and Ngongotaha
cemetery. At the latter place is
erected a monument to the memory of
Edwin A. cambridge, of Newcastle
on-Tyne, who was killed at the volcan-
ic eruption of Mt Tarawera on the
night of June 10, 1886. At 2.15 p. M
we got into the buggy and drove about
four and )ne-half miles to the wonder
full "Fairy Springs" 1t consists of
spring of beautifully clear, cold water,
forcing the sand, which curiously
enough is now as fine and black as
pllnDOWder then if is as yellow as cold
then mingling of hues, black, gray
and gold. This is playing the fairies
with al. the tc,ion of...the boiling
springs, and the contrast is SO perfect,
though in quite different direction.
l think it must have some relation to
Hamarana. OF course there is a
Maori legend about the spring, but it
is too long to relate and may only lie
story. We then mounted the coach,
and drove few miles until we came
to Ngongotaha cemetery at the foot of
a mountain. 1t is noted because it
contains Bainbridge's monument of
Aberdeen granite, about IA feet high
and rallied for protection. On one side
we read: In memory of Edwin A.
cambridge, born May s, 1866. Killed
at the TIE Wairoa hotel on June 10,
1886, during the volcanic eruption of
Mt Tarawera.
On another side we are told that the

The fortune teller is hanging about, hoping to catch a glimpse of his beloved but unapproachableo one: and for moment Peggy looks down upon him from an upper balcony and mischievously makes fun of his adoration. He is an- gered thereby and quite ready to seek revenge. The rival actress appears and bribes him to try to humiliate ''The Wellington" when the party is in progress. All he has to do is to stand behind Garrick's chair, and offer a toast to Eva" "Eva," it seems, is a French dancer, an earlier love of Gar rick's, about whom Peggy knows little or nothing.
 The banquet scene Is lively withsong andltoast, and Peggy keeps things nov ing brisLly-save when the loving-cup reaches her mother and the old lady desires to hang on to it rather than pass it along. And there is another halt, to the merriment, a more serious one, when the toast to ssEva" is offered. Peg asks who Eva is, but gets. no satis- factory answer.

NAUGATUGk NUGGETS

An alarm of fire was rung in from Sox 24 last evening shortly after 8 gc1ock which brought the fire depart hent to what is known as Reeds court, where fierce fire was burning in a larn owned by B. B. Stevens. When he firemen arrived on the scene the Ire was burning briskly, but stream if water was soon turned on and in bout 15 minutes after the sounding of he alarm the fire was under control. The recall did not sound, however, un- II about 9 o'clock. The water pres- Hre was very poor and had the build ng been very high one the fremen would have been badly handicapped | garden hose would throw a stream Is high as large fire hose with the lressllre low as it was last evening The hook and ladder truck did not ar i've until nearly 20 minutes after the gater had been turned on. The time is hast approaching when horses will lave to be provided for the fire com any. With horses always in the fire Iouse the hook and ladder truck would lways be at the fire in good season. ]. The concert given at Columbus hall lst evening by John and Mary Me lay was great success. The large all was we'll filled and the concert Fas a most enjoyable one. It is won erful how Mir Mckay and his sister re able to perform in such an able and pasterly manner when the fact that bey have been blind from infancy is Rken into consideration.
 There will be lenten devotions at St 'rancis's church this evening at 7;gO

Seemen Gain a Point In Suit For.
 Salvage. < SAN FRANCISCO, March 6.-In the light of Howard Reese, first mate of the naval collier Justin, and twenty members of the crew to recover at least $2O,OOO salvage from the govern ment Judge Dehaven has given de cision which overrules the govern ment's demurrer to the libel of the United States steamer.
 In November, 1900, the men of the naval collier Justin saved S6O,0OO worth of treasure and guns from the sinking cruiser Yosemite off the island of Guam
 The men of the Justin applied to the comptroller of the treasury for salvage. He denied their request on the ground that as members of the naval force and government employees they did only their duty in saving the Yosemite and the treasure The district attorney contended that the court had no juris- diction except where salvage of less than $1,OOO was asked for, and,, while the crew of the Justin asked for less than $1,0OO apiece, the aggregate for the salvage demanded was greater than the court has jurisdiction to consider.
 Judge Dehaven sets aside and dis misses both of these contentious and thus enables the seamen to score an important point in their suit
 The case will be appealed by the gov ernment and carried to the United States court of appeals.
