New Zealand's White Island.

White Island derives its name from
the clouds of white steam in which
il appears to be continually envelop-
ed. It's area is only 500 acres, and its
height about 500 feet above the sea
level
In form and color it is like a re-
posing camel. while its interior, with
its gray, weather-beaten. almost per-
pendicuiar cliffs, recalls the Coliseum
al Rome. Oyerhanging the southern
landing place stands a column of rock
closely resembling a sentinel, which
has been dedicated 10 the memory OF
Capt. Cook The water of the island
is of a psle-green hue, and anything
dipped into it becomes of a red brick
color The fumes of sulphur are al
WAYS plainly percyptible.
On a fine moonlight night won
derful sight is afforded to anyone who
will sit In an open boat i'm one of the
lakes of the islanC. Covering an area
of fifty acres is an immense caldron
Kissing and snorting and sending
forth volumes of poisonous steam,
while all chances OF egress appear to
be denied by the steep. silent and
gloomy cliffs.

Losing His. Opportunity.

More young men have lost the 'op-
pogunty of winning the friendship
of retilied' young women through their
own negligence and lack OF MANNERS
than almost any other cause. No wo-
man of refinement cares TO dine in
public with a man who does not have
good table manners, nor does she
care to introduce a careless OF ignor-
ant person to her own family or ac-
quaintances. Here are a few of the
offending things that a girl does not
like to observe In a man companion:
Talking across from one table to an
other keeping up an incessant idle
chatter with other parties. A spoon
left in the tea or coffee cup is quick
ly noticed and almost despised by
the young woman who observes.
fitting back chair, scuffing the feet
under the table, not sitting erect in
chair misplacing knife and fork,
over-reachiRg and uncomplimentary
remarks about food, are all bad
forms of etiquette. Talking with the
mouth full is another fault as bad as
using toothpick in public. eating
from knife or spreading bread with
a fork. II one happens to be thrown
in with company of this kind the man
will never be forgotten, much less for
given. 1t Is not necessary for a man
or woman to be too severe about these
rules of etiquette, but 1t is a genuine
relief to be with either and not feel
ashamed of ones companion. One
woman made the remark that she was
not the least bit strict about the man
she would marry, for she knew all
men had faults, but she would never
marry one who would make a fool of
himself in public, and she married
one OF the most refined, genteel men
Imaginable, simply because he was
her ideal of the right kind of a man.

TypeWritinQ in the Dark

The typewriter who has learned TO
typewrite by the touch method does
not need to look at the machine in
working 1t. By this method the learn
er begins and practises on machine
whose keys have no letters on them,
simply black tops, while in front of
the learner is placed a reproduction
OF the keyboard, with all the letters
and characters printed on a sheet OF
paper. The beginner learns the key
board of the machine from the print
ed keyboard, and when she has once
mastered this she is able TO keep her
eyes on the notes or copy she is tran
scribing and keep all the time pound
ing away on the machine without
looking at the keyboard at all. The
training that she has received
prompts her every time to strike the
right key.
1t is a very familiar fact that peo-
pie play on a piano without looking
at the keyboard. With our eyes on
the music in front the fingers instinc-
tivelx> seek and find the right keys.
1t is precisely the same in playing a
typewriter.
