COOK WITHOUT FIRE.
New Zealand Maoris Prepare Their
Food In Natures Kitchens.

The Maoris of northern New Yea
land enjoy cooked food to far great-
er extent than other natives. but they
never bother with fire. They build
their huts on the edge of some friend
ly" geyser. where they may cook In
natures kitchen. The methods of this
primitive people living in so strange
neighbOrhood are described by Max
Herr in "New Zealand.
On spot which superstition would
associate with death and the devil the
hutS of about 200 AIaoris lie scattered
the remnant of the once warike tribe
of 1'uhourangi 1t is lucky that these
simple folk need no kitchen. for ma
turc has built for them the best of all
cooking appliances aud saved them
endless trouble with the stove, gas
company or coal merchant.
A pond of boiling water lies in the
middle of the settlement. In this the
Maori woman puts her wafer kettle to
boil or hangs the wide mcshed lax
bag filled with potatoes and waits I'M
til they are cooked True. the potatoes
cooked in their skins taste II little OF
sulphur. but that IL the right flavor for
Il Maori palatc-tlle haut govt for the
brown gourmet.
For the cooking of meats the fuma-
roles. or holes through which steam
escapes from the ground. are used. A
box with wooden grating for n bot
ton is placed on the ground over the
hole In this the Maori woman places
the meat. well covered with tin or iron
pots. An old sugar bag is then spread
over the box. and the crude apparatus
is left until the imprisoned steam has
completely cooked the joint.

GRASS LINED BOOTS.

While civilized man suffers intensely

Concerning other customs the same
writer says: The Lapps are essen

among the wild and glorious scenery
of their northern home. However, ut
times no doubt the stiffness of the
frozen mountains becomes too still.
and they turn their herds and start
toward their nearest meeting place.
Twice II year they hold these general
gatherings-at Easter and midsummer

that they celebrate their weddings and

ten days. but many marriages take

TURKISH VENGEANCE.
IT'S Perilous Matter to Endaneer the

Within two weeks after the asSas-
