About New Zealand.

Although the saying that this is a small world has grown to be familiar, it Is used so lightly, at the same time" said much traveled man, that there are many attractive parts of 1t which do not figure in the average persons knowledge at all For instance, there is Australia or New Zealand. How many times do you hear either of these islands spoken of. The fact Is they are scarcely ever considered any more than if they were not on the map: that is to say. by us Americans. To Englishmen naturally they are of more importance by reason Of the fact that they both are British col- onies. But as for that matter they are certainly not unknown to the commerce of the United States.
 'It is my impression that next to Eng land we furnish most of the imports of New Zealand. The climate there is de- lightful. Although subject to quick varia- tions the extremes are more moderate
 than those of England. And the scenery presents every variety from the sunny lakes of Italy to the snow capped noun tains of Norway In wealth of scenic attractiveness 1t is vertically a land of in- i finite variety.
 And another thing that may be little known out of a population of over three l quarters of million there are scarcely
 more than 10000 natives, Maoris. These
 in barbaric ornamentation still carve up 1 their faces as though they were mahog-
 any The rest are Europeans about two
 third of whom are native born. New Zea-
 land exports amount to about 100000 pounds in English money. If not a land of
 milk and honey lt-certainly is country
 of milk and butter. There is no spot on 1 the earth's surface so well adapted to
 dairy purposes. Seed sown broadcast on
 top of the ground without even scratch
 ing into 1t will bring forth the most lux
 uriant grass for fodder and the farm
 lands in the valleys are surpassingly rich
 In view of the wealth. progress and pos 1 abilities of the country time may yet fulfill the mere rhetorical prophecy of

 land may yet stand on broken arch of

EUROPEAN JOURNEY.

From the New York World.
 Most people think that the Rock of Gibraltar, as one of the pillars of Her. cules, guards the straits which bear it's name. It does not but lies well within invisible from the Atlantic, across the bay from the little Spanish town of AL gecisas. Cape Spartel, on the African side of the straits, Is a true pillar. When Hercules used his club he left flat place opposite spartel on the Spanish coast, with just enough room to accom- modate Tarifa. the little town where the Dingley bill came from. Tangier is on the Atlantic, and Ceuta. the Spanish prison town, Is on the Mediterranean shore
 Gibraltar is nothing but picturesque. The 60o0 British soldiers are runty look ing little things beside the Moors who drop over from Tangier. Tall, magnifi- cent beings in turban and white burnous. they stand about like statues, staring at the Giaours, unchanged and unchange- able in a thousand years. When ngiht comes on they crouch low in the sterns of their feluccas, and hoisting the lateen sails slip out across the sea like great birds fitting amid the foam
 Early strawberries come to Gibraltar from Spain, packed in attractive bas- kets and rosy as the dawn Travellers who have been on sea for ten days buy them eagerly. only to find a single layer of berries closely fitted over basket full of cabbage leaves.
 The man who plays a bass drum in the British drum corps is always very tall and long of arm. He beats the drum on alternate sides. cross-armed, so con tinuously as never to lose the rhythm. He wears a snow-leopard skin over his shoulders and is an imposing parsonage.
 Cape carts rule in Gibraltar. Six peo- pie ride in one behind little Moorish horse, and go fast at that up hill.

shIpplno Peaches.


 T was in Gadsdsn recently, and un= destand that about seventy carloads of peaches will be shipped from there this year, which is many times the number shipped last year." said real estate man yesterday "J D. Elliott will ship about sixty carloads and the other men in the community will ship about ten cars. Most of the peaches are going to Buffalo.
 A number of the farmers in that part of the country are planting peach trees on the sides of the hills, where they form erly planted cotton. They made about $6O an acre from their cotton. if the prices were high, but they are making a profit of about & a crate on the peaches, which bring about $500 car.
 The peach trees cost very little origi- nally. and they produce in four years. A large number of farmers are reducing their cotton acreage and planting peaches instead, and believe that they will make large amount of money out of the change"

Milk Inspection.

Chief Inspector Duncan's report upon various lots of milk inspected in dairies and restaurants shows the spe- cific gravity, percentage of fats and of water. and the total amount of solids in each case. This is excellent so far as it goes, but it does not come down to the specific danger involved in the consumption of milk, especially by tables, namely, the number of bacteria therein.

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Fl

X@ AsHINGToN. D. c.-Mr II. M WV Knowles, the superintendent of
 " Third Iife-sav1ng District, has made quite an interesting report to United States Treasury officials of the resusci- tation of Robert Mooney from death by drowning Mooney was in a small sail boat near Wakefield, R. l.. which was upset in Point Judith Pond When the boat was overturned Mooney was forced under the sail and was. therefore, unable to come to the curface.
 Before aid reached the unfortunate man he had been under the water for period of about 2S minutes When first aid was given from three and one half quarts to a gallon of water was expelled. A similar operation a few minutes later expelled about pint of water Mooney at the time bore the appearance of drowned man. His jaws were clenched tightly, and there were no signs of life.
 The artificial respiration was employed for a period of about an hour and forty eight minutes. when the patient showed signs of returning consciousness, and then heated rocks were applied to the armplts, heart and soles of his feet
 In his report Superintendent Knowles says he reached the scene of the-c -capsizing in about twenty-eight minutes after the boat had been overturned and about five minutes after Moneys body had been dragged to the shore The party ashore had just expelled the water from Mooney s lungs for the second time and had com menced the method of artificial respira- tion. The patient was as purple as a grape. and was lying on shore with his eyes. ears and clothing filled with sand where those on shore had rolled him about the beach as best they could. A

The subjoined report of the mar

Hovey- King, which occurred at

interest to the older residents OF
Brownsville, as the bride is the
granddaughter of Mr.. and Mrs.

here. Her mother. nee Miss Michel
of Brownsville, was married here
and was one of the most popular
young ladies of this city at that
time. The account of the ceremony

One of the most interesting social
events of the past week was the
wedding of Mr.. Alvin Hovey-King,
paymaster in the United States

The Beauty of Brownsville.

One of the greatest sources OF
wonder to the editorial association
its recent visit here was the absence
of water and light systems. We
made the best possible of the situa-
ton, but could find no very good
reason to give why we did not
have these utilities. Perhaps by
the time the newspaper men come
again a new order of things will
prevail in Brownsville. Browns

There are more strange and
beautiful semi-tropical shrubs and
trees in Brownsville than in any
other town in Texas. The anaca-
quita trees with their profusion of
while blossoms was especially all
object of admiration with all the
visitors. The possibilities of
identifying Brownsville yards with
these wonderful plants are almost
limitless, and a little cooperation
of effort there in this respect will
make it the show place of Texas.
