WHITES TO ABSORB MAORIS?
That Fate, Rather Than Extinction,
Said to Be Assured to New Zea-
land Tribe.

The ingenious explanation that they
wouldn't have eaten neighbors had
beef, mutton or pork been more abun-
dant on the early New Zealand market
stamps the native Maoris as race
with working brains, and their ply
siques have long been praised. 1t is
not surprising, therefore, that, as a
correspondent records, these aborig-
inals are among the few in modern
times who, instead of promptly vanish
ing, will doubtless be absorbed into the
white mans family.
Fifty thousand pure-bred Maoris still
remain, half of whom are practically
civilized. Many have attained to high
political position. There are four Mao
ri members in the house of representa-
tives, two in the legislative council
and one Is an important minister in the
executive council.
Themselves Polynesians of remote
East Indian blood, these natives, be 1t
added, are not strictly aboriginals.
They are thought to have displaced,
a la table d'hote, some 500 years ago a
savory stock of Melanesians or Pa
puans."

WHAT SHAPE HAS MOTH HOLE?
On This by No Means Simple Question
Hangs Result of an Omaha
Lawsuit.

On whether q moth makes an oblong
molars into the more succulent por-
tons of dads last winter overcoat or
sisters summer furs, hinges law suit
In Justice Collins court, brought by
an Omaha store against Miss Jose
phine Hill of Council Bluffs. The store
seeks to enforce payment for an $50
suit which Miss Hill is alleged to
have purchased, says the World-Her-
aid.
According to the girls testimony,
week after she bought the suit she
found a moth hole in it. She returned
1T to the store. The suit was mended
and given back to her with instruc-
lions to wear it 80 days and bring it
back at the end of that time if not
satisfactory.
Miss Hill testified she wore the suit
for 80 days, placing it carefully on a
hanger in her closet each night. AT the
end of the specified period, examina-
ton, she said, revealed not one but a
whole community of holes. She re-
fused to pay for the suit, and the store
took the case into court.
After one clerk for the store told the
court the holes complained of couldn't
be meth holes, because any self-re-
spective moth eats a round hole, while
those under discussion were distinctly
oblong, and after Miss Hill had made
an exhibition of the holes and another
clerk had suggested that Miss Hill
might have worn the holes In the
skirt by rubbing against her type
writer desk, Justice Collins looked
wise and took the matter under adj
'visement.

Iceberg Was an Acrobat

Not far from the spot where the II
tanic was sunk by an iceberg in April,
1912, a fleet of II icebergs. some of
them rising to more than 100 feet
above the water line. were sighted by
the steamship Munaires on recent
voyage.
Captain Fleming of the Munaires
says that one of the bergs gave a re-
markable exhibition of tumbling as the
vessel sailed past. 1t had apparently
lost good deal of its under water
weight through the action of the warm
sea water and as they watched it the
great iceberg suddenly tipped to star
board and rolled over with an immense
splash. AS it fell, big section of the
top broke away. with the result that
the balance was altered and the berg
tumbled back again Then. just as II
was righting itself. another section
broke off. and it tumbled once more.
The sight was most unusual one

HAVE TO WAIT TO UNLOAD
Shipping Congestion at London Docks
Said to Be of an Extraordinary
Character.

A writer to the London Times de-
scribes the Victoria and Albert docks
at Tilbury as being crowded to their
fullest capacity with big ships" many
of which 'look absolutely dead for the
simple reason that they can not be IN
loaded because there is nowhere to
put their cargoes." OF ships carrying
Australian meat 1t is said to be "a
common thing to wait anything up to
month for q berth aud to lie another
month tied up against the wharf, I'M
loading and reloading." 1nefficiency Of
labor is In a large degree responsible,
for the average discharging output per
shift of 13 men in a nine-hOur day has
been reduced from 100 to 63 tons. The
cause is partly the loss of many good
men in the war, partly loafing on the
job to make work for as many men as
possible. Congestion of the ports is
attributed to state control over essen
tial imports, TO state control over rail-
roads, and to reduction of the hours of
labor. By these means the carrying
power of ships has been reduced at
least 80 per cent below pre-war stand
ards.

TERM THAT BANISHED ANGER
Appelation Bestowed on Bachelor
Maids" Put Further Animosity
Out of the Question.

The two Elton sisters age thirty and
thirty-two and very successful business
women, live next door to the Smith
sisters, about fifty and fifty-two, who
are also retired and given TO the occu-
pations of crocheting and quilt piec-
ing. The Elton sisters speak of them
selves as "old maids" and the Smith
sisters as ''pesky old maids" in order
to distinguish between them. Also
they are given to much plying of the
second-class ladies.
But the other evening one of the
Elton sisters, clad in a bungalow
apron, was out sprinkllng the lawn.
AS she moved around the house she
heard the Smiths in conversation.
NYes, sister, age has its compensa-
TONS" one was saying. "Now look
at those girls next door. They no
sooner get home than they get into
those aprons, so scanty that they are
immodest. OF course, they're just
kids, but still"
That was enough for Miss Elton.
With a rush she was In the house.
ooh, Grace" she told her sister,
fbreathlessly, "those Smiths are real
nice. We've got to stop calling them
pesky old maids"
And now generously the Eltons
speak of them as "the other old

Thread In Manchurla.

Almost all Of the S2,000,OO0 worth of
cotton thread imported annually into
Manchurla comes from Japan, partly
because japanese manufacturers have
the advantage over possible competi-
tors of government encouragement and
support, and partly because there has
been little competition from those suf-
ficiently interested in this market to
study its requirements as have the
japanese. says the New York Times.
Goods were placed with merchants
on consignment until they became
known. were extensively advertised,
and are now sold ON liberal credit ba-
sis. so that American manufacturers
entering the market will not only have
to compete on a quality basis. but
should adopt similar methods of push

MORO A DANGEROUS FANATIC
Believes Eternal Bliss to Be His II
He Meets Death While Killing
Christians.

The psychology of Mohammedanism
is incomprehensible to persons reared
in the atmosphere and teachings Of
American Christianity. With us the
separation of church and state is as
much matter of course as the air we
breathe With us suicide is immoral
and the killing of an unbeliever is a
crime punishable with death. The Mo
hammedan has no conception of ecclesi-
astical and state law. There is only
one law, the Koran and while In fact
the priest and the ruler may be diff
ferent persons, they are different only
In functional way, like judge and
an executive In our government. The
spiritual ruler is also temporal ruler,
as was Mohammed in his day. The
killing of Christians Is virtue that
merits everlasting bliss in paradise.
The martyrs of the early Christian
church burned with no more consum-
ing ardor than the humble, ignorant
Mohammedan peasants who swear be-
fore the priest that they will go forth
and devote their lives 10 killing Chris
tians. Mohammedans who have sworn
to kill Christians are called in the
Philippines juramentados, from the
Spanish, meaning one who has sworn
or taken an oath. Up to a decade ago
1t was no uncommon occurrence in
Jolo for a Moro fanatic to conceal his
bolo knife, or kris, in a basket OF
fruit until he had passed the guard
at the gate of the walled town, then
draw his blade and cut right and left,
killing man, woman or child, with
perfect impartiality until bullet from
the guard stopped his advance. It was
this indomitable will to kill that gave
the Christian Filipino his mortal fear
of the Moro In times past.-O. Garfield
Jones, in Asia.
