is a weird pattern, but uncommonly
handsome.
This is most certainly leather work
in excelsis. It is singularly attractive,
being unusual as well as beautiful; but
the most distinctive examples of this
ornate industry are the cushions.
They are also made of strong but
soft pliable leather, untanned. They
have a band of the same let through
incisions at intervals, and the interlac-
ing leather makes the edges strong
and workmanlike. The one we have
chosen to illustrate portrays the Ma
orr god Tiki. This unique design is
somewhat fearsOme with its green
mother-Of-pearl eyes set in the green
body, the coloring of the deity &C
cording with the whole scheme of tone
It is weird, with its gigantic mouth,
and the eraOrdinary lines which pro-
duce the figure are much grOOved and
indented so deeply they give the i'm
preston of being shaded with a dark
lead PENCIL but in fact are produced in
poker work with hot needle.
There is in all these specimens a
great deal of beautiful tooling and
much delicate workmanship, which
specially appeal to our artistic instincts
with the added merit of being alto
gether uncommon to anything usually
seen, for Maori patterns have not been
hitherto applied to the decorative arts
on this side of the world.
This particular cushion. like the 9TH
ers, is sewn over with leather thongs
and a leather ribbon is slipped through
the aperture round the cushion, after
the method OF Ornamenting muslin
cushions with 'colored silk ribbons now
in vogue; bow of the leather is in
trOduced on one side
When the work is done care must be
taken that the skins do not touch, as
the color might rub. The several arti-
cles need to be kept in a dry place for
fear of the mildew, not that the leather
is perishable, but, like most good things
it needs care Keeping in paper is the
best treatment when not in use Wal

ever, this can take any shade almost,

CASTOR BEANS GIVE PROFIT.
4 Crop of Southern California Which
Yields 500 Per Acre.

Yields 500 Per Acre.
A novel industry, yet one which is
said by it's owner to be very remunera-
tive on small capital, has been quietly
carried on in southern California for
some time by an elderly German
cret it can be called, from southern
Europe, when he migrated westward
several years ago, says the Technical
World Magazine.
Castor beans are the sole crop grown
by this German, and for their growing
he uses nothing but bare, semi-arid
valleys and slOping hillsides, on which
owing to lack of water, nothing else
will grow to good advantage He sup
plies, of course, only a small part OF
the castor beans in use in the world,
but his is believed to be the only ranch
of it's kind in California, il not in the
United States, much of the oil being
prepared from the seeds Of the wild
shrubs which grow in great profuslon
in some parts Of America and Mexico.
When the beans were sacked and
weighed, all the small ones having
been cuIIed out in the winnowing pro-
cess Brass discovered that he had Le-
tween four and five tons of as fine
beans as could be produced in the
world. For these he received cents
per pound, almost 500 per acre for MS
five acres
The work done on the beans had
been all his own, with the aid or one
horse and had Deen performed at spare
times from caring for large barley
field which he owned. The beans were
so much more profitable than the barley
