TWENTY years ago the bed Of

years the woodman's AK has
thinned out those trees so that the

destroyed almost all Of the timber

thousands Of acres OF valuable

EDITOR GUARDIAN: Thinking
that some of the readers Of your
valuable paper might be interested
IN our work in this far OF land, /
take the present opportunity of
writing. This island (or islands)
are so far away from the live
world that very little is heard of it.
New Zealand IS situated in about
the same latitude south of the
equator as the United States is
north of IT. but il is so tempered
by ocean winds and currents that
the climate, especially IN the north
island, is very mild, snow falling
only on the high ranges and then
not remaining long. The winter
months bring almost incessaut
rain and for about four months
in the year it rains nearly every
day.
On account of not having OK
tremely hard fros's. the grass and
trees grow the year round, al
though, of course, not so luxuri-
aDtly in winter as in summer.
Most of the trees here IRE ever
greens aud they lend a beautiful
aspect to the landscape. There
are many thousands of acres of
forest land here that have not been
destroyed by the woodman's AK.
The surface of the ncrih island is.
for the most part, composed nf Z
many small, jumbIed up hills with
small valleys nesting among them.
The entire surface has been cuv-
cred with trees and the pioneers
here are having great deal of
hard work in clearing their land
for cultivation. The trees must
be cut down and burned when dry
because they are too green to burn
when standing. The ground must
be seeded to grass as il is not
native to these hills.
The country is devoted princi.
pally to grazing cattle and sheep.
There is no free public domain so
the people have to keep their stock
in pasture. In fact that is the only
place there is any feed for them.
The harder fruits thrive here
but peaches are hard TO grow. In
the northern part lemons thrive
and oranges can be grown.
There are about fifty elders here
and at present we have about 5000
members in the church.
The Maori people are a very in.
teresting race. Their customs and
clearly proclaim them
decendents of the Israelites, they
having come from the early inha6.

An Old Painters Ideas.

The Autumn season Is coming
more and more to be recognized as
most suitable time for house-paint-
ing.
There is no frost deep In the wood
TO make trouble for even the best job
OF painting, and the general season
ing of the Summer has put the wood
into good condition in every way.
The weather, moreover, is more like
ly to be settled for the necessary
length of time to allow all the coats
to thoroughly dry-a very important
precaution.
An old and successful painter said
to the writer the other day:
House owners would get more
for their money If they would allow
their painters TO take more time, es-
pecially between coats. Instead OF
allowing barely time for the surface
to get dry enough not to be 'tacky,'
several days tweeks would not be
too much) should be allowed so that
the coat might set through and
through. 1t is inconvenient, of
course, but, If one would suffer this
slight inconvenience, it would add
two or three years to the life Of the
paint.
"All this is assuming, Of course,
that the paint used is the very best
to be had-the purest of white lead
and the purest Of lnseed oil, un-
mixed with any cheapener. II the
cheap mixtures, often known as
White Lead and oil which has been
. doctored with fish oil, benzine, corn
oil, or other of the adulterants
known to the trade, are used, all the
precautions of the skilled painter are
useless to prevent the cracking and
peeling which make houses unsightly
In a year or so and, therefore, make
painting bills too frequent and costly.
THE house owner should have his
painter bring the ingredients to the
premises separately-white lead of
some well-known, reliable brand and
linseed oil of equal quality - and
mix the paint just before applying
It"
Painting need not be expensive and
unsatisfactory II the old painters
suggestions are followed.

inexpensive Trimming.

An inexpensive mode of trimming
summer gown for her whose time
is not a marketable product is the
use of tiny gathered ruchings ar
ranged in festoons or otherwise on
skirt and bodice. The material is
cut about two inches wide, hemmed
on both sides, gathered through the
middle, and sewed on in any pre-
ferred design with very decorative
effect. The narrowest of lace sewed
to each edge adds to the daintiness of
the trimming.

of other students, the young woman's

reality of six churches, which are

these churches are mounted huge

The Open Door in EaYpt.

While there can be no doubling
the intention of the British govern
ment to henceforth dominate openly
the political control of Egypt as a
part of the British empire, the pro-
posals of Lord Cromer clearly indi-
cate that there is to be equal op-
portunity for all nationalities and
rights. In other words, modern
Egypt is to be governed on the open
door principle so strongly advocated
by the United States in China and the
Far East generally. While England
will rule, she does not propose to
insist upon any monopoly of trade
or franchises, but on the contrary,
extends equal opportunity to all COM
ers.-New Orleans Picayune.
