THE REV.
Mr.. DENSMORE
BY ROB MCCHEYNE
Copyright, 1901, By r. VI. George

Scroggsfield was to have new min
lister. The whole village was interest
ed, for, although there were several
churches In the little hamlet, this was
the first new minister to appear In
whole generation
The deacon's committee had divided
on the subject. some fayOring a young
man and some an older and wiser
head, but Brother Williams had turned
the scale by threatening to withdraw
his subscription unless young and
progressive" man should be called.
Accordingly after much lobbying on
the part of the Ladies' Aid society it
was announced that the Rev. Mr. Dins-
more, young student of divinity. had
been selected and that he would occu-
py the pulpit the following Sunday
Saturday morning came, and as the
new minister had not yet put in an ap-
pearance the village was on the alert.
He would surely come that day.
They were not disappointed. When
the 11:10 train pulled into the depot
stranger stepped off and presented him
self at the ticket window.
He was a most affable young man
and was jauntily dressed.
Good morning" he said, and he put
such an emphasis on the first word
that it sounded almost like a chant
Miss Williams, the operator, looked
up from her lunch and quickly slipped
a half eaten egg into her apron pocket.
"Can you tell me, madam" said the
gentleman, smiling, everything l want
to know about this historic and pro-
gressive city Of Scroggsfield?"
"I-I-why, yes, sir, think so, If you
please, sir" she stammered, quite over

ger exclaimed enthusiastically. Now,

slowly, that | should like to go to

Miriam agreed that California would
be very pleasant place in winter.
She even declared that she would like
TO go there herself. With Calvert 1t
was necessary to give more than was
received. He was no conversationalist.
Now he pondered over Miriam's admis-
sion as though this opened new field
for thought.
"It would be pleasant" he said pres
emily, ito go there on ones wedding

"Yes," assented Miriam. 1T would

Calvert blinked. He had known
Miriam ever since they had played
dolls together. Even then they had
played at keeping house and had an
nounced to their parents that they
were going to be married shortly. They
had persisted long after the usual
course of boy and girl love affairs.

NEW ZEALAND GEYSERS.
Among Them is Said to BE the Big
Eest SpOuter In the World.

Among Them IL Said to BE tho Big
Rest SpOuter In the World.
Yellowstone park is reputed to have
the most magnificent geysers in the
world but their reputation Is based
upon the statements of travellers who
have never been to New Zealand and
who know nothing OF its natural won
ders
Leaving Auckland by fast express
train, Journey of eight hours brings
one TO Rotorua, where may be seen the
most splendid geyser which ia proba-
bly, to be found anywhere In the world.
To give one some idea Of the magni-
tude Of tie geyser | need mention only
the height of some OF the surround
ing objects. over the Inferno crater,
which contains IA seething lake OF wa
ter, is small shelter shed 40 feet
above the plain. The surface OF the
water in the geyser basin when at
rest is about forty feet below this
plain. The height Of the eruption
must often be about 900 feet. This
Is by no means exceptional. Higher
"shots" have been recorded. | have
myself seen a shot computed at LOO
feet. Some months ago the area OF
the basin was measured IN small
boat by Mr.. Buckeridge and guide.
They found that the area Is about two
and a half acres, from which 1t may
be inferred that this geyser may well
be called the largest in the world.
The geyser plays about twenty two
times each month. is very errattc and
gives no warning when II is about to
erupt The theory is advanced that
the basin Is somewhat like a funnel
and that when the water and stones
are elected the larger stones return
and Jam In the neck, thereby choking
the outlet, SO that an enormous pres
sure OF steam must shift them. When
the pressure is sufficiently great 70
blow out the distractions it naturally
would eject water to a great height.
The theory, however, is at best rather
fanciful.
This geyser is not the only one to
be seen in the vicinity. Others may
be mentioned. such as the Pohntu,
Wairoa, Feather, Papakura and 9TH
ers, besides mud volcanoes.-Scientific

PROFESSIONAL EATERS.
Indians Employ Substitutes TO Con-
sumo Food For Them.

Indians Employ Substitutes to Com
sumo Food For Them.
One Of the most striking customs of
the past that are preserved by the In
dams of today is found among the
tribes on the Devils Lake reserva-
ton In North Dakota. An Official OF
the Indian service gives the following
account of this peculiar practice:
From time immemortal the Devils
Lake Sioux have adhered to an old
custom in regard to the treatment Of
a guest. According TO their etiquette,
It is the bounden duty Of the host to
supply his guest with all the food he
may desire, and as a rule the appor-
tionment set before the visiting Indian
is much in excess OF the capacity OF
single man.
But by the same custom the guest
Is obliged to eat all that Is placed be
fore him, else he grossly insults his
entertainer. 1t was found that this
practice would work a hardship, but
instead of dispensing with the Gus
tom the Indian method Of reasoning
was applied, and what is known as the
professional eater was brought to the
front
while the guest is supposed to eat
all that is placed before him, II serves
the same purpose II his neighbor as
sists In devouring the bountiful repast,
the main object being to have the
plate clean when the meal is finished.
at is not always practicable to de-
pend upon a neighbor at table to as
sist In getting away with large din
ner, and in order to insure the final
consumption of the allotted portion
visiting Indians call upon these pro-
fessional eaters, whose duty II is to
sit beside them through meal and
eat what the guest leaves. The pro-
fessional eaters are never look ed upon
In the light Of guests, but more as
travelling companions with a particu-
lar duty to perform.
These eaters receive from 81 to 81
and even SO for each meal where they
assist. II is stated by the agent Of
the Devils Lake reservation that one
Of the professional eaters has been
known to dispose Of seventeen pounds
of beef at a sitting That they are
capable of eating an almost fabulous
amount l myself can testify."-Hy-
gienic Gazette.
