Criminals In New South Wales.
New South Wales has novel system
of dealing with habitual criminals. a
man is sentenced to term for his par
ticular ofense and to an indeterminate
term because he is an 'habitual."
When he has served the definite term,
II he is well behaved. he can rise from
grade to grade, each step being accom-
panied by various concessions. One
feature is that he may earn wages.

AN ANCIENT HIGHWAY.
Ensland's Great North Road Is Tive
Thousand Years Old. s& s

Thousand Years Old.
Before we reached Hatfield, few
miles out of London, we had already
been impressed with the magnifcence
Of this Great North road. which is
said to have been built by Mr.. Cae-
sar, whose headquarters were In Rome
at the time 1t Is the direct route
from London to Edinburgh and has
been Travelled for SO many centuries
that the earliest histories of England
contain accounts Of the movement Of
troops upon 1t. It is q great thorough
fare for vehicles of all sorts. motor
lists and cyclists. and In these modern
days there are well worn footpafhs
along either side for pedestrians. We
passed scores Of motors, and Z was
told while in England that the popu-
larity Of motoring had noticeably di.
minished the number OF first class
travellers by rail. We found the road
for its entire length Of 400 miles In
perfect condition. In many portions
the macadam is said to be nine feet
thick. Long sections OF the road are
oiled, and on no part of it was there
any appreciable amount Of dust. There
are few sharp curves. and the grades
are SO slight that 1t has become a
great thoroughfare for speeders, with
the result that there are many police
traps for which one has to watch. We
found that we could stop in almost any
little village and get information as tt
just where the traps were located Las
for instance, they told US at Bigles

MAORI TRADITIONS.
Legends and Customs Of the Natives
Of New Zealand.

legends and Customs Of The Natives
Of New Zealand.
Many traditions Of the Maoris Of
New Zealand indicate true refinement
of feeling. That OF Niwareka, or Great
Delight, is one Of these and represents
q gentle Maori maiden, beautiful and
modest, who, though deeply loving her
bridegroom, vet shudders at the bar
barity Of his people and at his delight
In bloodshed and cruelty. Unable to
bear the sights and sounds around her,
she passes from his embrace and seeks
the shadows of another world. Only
through great suffering and sacrifice
does her young husband, unable to bear
his solitary lot, redeem her from the
shades. This beautiful legend Is bound
up with the origin Of the custom Of the
tattoo, an ordeal which the lover was
compelled to endure that he might
realize the nature Of suffering.
One of the finest legends Of old Mao
RI romance relates how daughter Of
the heavens condescends to dwell with
man, but, repealed by his rudeness
and want Of sympathy, ascends again
to the skies, carrying with her her
earth born child. Her husband is only
able TO reach her and regain her love
by climbing upward, not by earthly
tendrils, but by those which, descend
Ing from the heavens, have taken root
In earth"
One curious feature of the domestic
life Of the New Zealand natives Is that
the old women are led to believe that
the highest honor they can enjoy Is to
be permitted 70 do all the cooking and
prepare the food. a great deal OF Ia.
Dor is thus left to them, which they
cheerfully perform, resenting any Id.
reference on the part of the younger
Maori women, who thus have plenty Of
leisure for enjoyment Chicago News

1t was my boats privilege to fasten
first. and we did SO in grand style, says
a writer in Forest and Stream. The
big fellow lay blowing in one position,
and we sailed on him head and head
and fastened to him with two har-
poems, one of them being an explosive.
When he felt the iron he turned and
plunged under our boat and covered us
with the spray from his fukes as he
tossed them up in the air to dive. And
he did not stop. either. for our line
whizzed around the loggerhead, CIV
ing out blue sheet of smoke until the
end Of 1t went by US like bullet. He
had gone down with our 300 fathoms
of line in less than a minute
In few minutes he appeared again
near one of the other boats, and he got
two more harpoons, one of them ex.
plosive, and then the other two boat
shot in and fastened with two irons
apiece. "
Meanwhile the beast was coursing
around and spouting blood in a frantic
manner. and it took six bomb lances
besides the eight harpoons to subdue
him.
Our next hit was made on the 9th.
when our boat fastened again. The
whale did not go very far this time.
but just circled around us in short
line. Another whale from the herd

made off to windward. The other boat
was off after some other whales. They
could have got him easily. .t,"
While we were tied to the dead whale
we made out his comrade coming down
to us at great speed, and it looked as

prepared for his onslaught. In a min
ute he was close to US, and while he
stopped to take look we jumped the
boat ahead and darted two irons, whicl
started him off at high speed to wind
ward, and the people on the ship told
us afterward that we literally skipped
from one sea to the next. All we wen
conscious Of was the fact that the bo6
simply rested on her keel, and the spray
flew over us in great sheets.
At last he Stacked up and gave us a
chance to put in bomb lance. He
made a rush to leeward, to where we
had left the dead whale, straight as a
die and right over him, dragging us
over, too, of course, all the time spout
ing blood. Then he Owed under us and
came up with his blowhole right I'M
der the mates nose, who was looking
over the side for him, and he got the
spout of thick blood right in the face
at less than a yard distant. OF
course 1t spattered all Of us, and when
we hauled alongside with our two
whales we all looked as much like
murderers as anything else. The cap.
tain was highly pleased with our per-
