New Zealand, writes of the Maori women: "The Maori woman can keep at will. Bhe has practiced the art. which has formed an Important part of her train ing. She weeps so genuinely and so copiously as to melt the heart of a sympathizing witness. The Maoris hold 'Inagls,' or weeping parties, to mourn jlheir dead, nod hi these gather ings the women play a conspicuous part. While weeping they utter a low, mournful cry, which hns a very weird effect when produced by a number of voices. The mourners sit In groups, wlih their heads partially covered, giv ing forth their monotonous walling and shedding copious tears. "The Maori woman of past ones al most excelled her lord In savagery. On the return of a triumphant war party they usually brought home a number of prisoners and slaves. It was the privilege of the women of the tribe to fall upon these, slaughtering them iu preparation for the cannibal feast which followed. The women bore the painful ceremony of the tattoo without shrinking. Spiral marks were cut Into the Mesh of their chins, lips nnd faces; a soot made by a peculiar method was rubbed Into the wounds, causing an In delible blue-black stain. "The Maoris, even In their former state, treated their women with a cer tain amount of consideration, although the lot of the female slave was very hard and often ended In her being served up as a dainty dish to appease the appetite of her voracious lord, who wo",d k,ck ""'"' lhe lmskt-'ts of vene- table food presented to him by his wives as a signal that he required the tender llesh of a slave girl." THE SIX HUNDRED. Incidents of That Mad Ride to Death at Balaklava. Of that mad but heroic charge a hun dred Incidents are preserved thrilling, humorous, shocking. The ('ornhill Magazine tells of a man of the Seven teenth lancers who was hen til to shout. Just as they raced In upon tho guns, a quotation from Shakespeare, "Who is there here would ask more men from England V" The regimental butcher of the Seven teenth lancers was engaged in killing a sheep when he heard the trumpets sound for the charge, lie leaped on a horse. In shirt sleeves, with bare arms and pipe In mouth, he rode through the whole charge, slew, It Is said, six men with his own liand, and came back again, pipe still in mouth! A private of the Eleventh was under arrest for drunkenness "when the' charge began, but broke out, followed ills troop on a spare horse, picked up a sword as he rode and shared in the rapture ami perils of the charge. The charge lasted twenty minutes, and was ever before such daring or such suffer ing packed Into a space so brief? The squadrons rode Into the light number ing UT.'t horsemen, but their mounted strength when the tight was over was exactly VX. It was all a blunder, hut It evoked a heroism which made the blunder Itself niagulfh'ciit. And as long as brave deeds can thrill the imagination men the story will be remembered nt with ahot nnd shell, Hohlly they rodo nnd well Into tho Jiuvh of death, Into the mouth of hell Noble alx hundred! He Wat Too Hasty. A.promInent automoblllst condemned scorching at a dinner. ' "I condemn." ho said, "scorching and the scorcher, but I don't condemn the scorcher unheard. I don't condemn the accused man hastily. Hasty con demnation Is always a mistake. Once on a Canadian railway I got off t'.ie train for a live minute luncheon at a railway eating bar. There was a man Iwslde me gobbling away, and when he finished I heard him say bitterly, as he took out his purse: "'Cull that a ham sandwich? It's the wot-ht ham sandwich I ever ate. No more taste than Sawdust and so small you could hardly see it.' " 'Ye've et yer ticket,' said the wait er. 'This here's yer ham sanUwich.' " Philadelphia Bulletin. Reversed the Process. "Yes, sir. the major went In swim niln', an I'm blest ef a feller didn't come along an' steal all his clothes!" An' what did he do then?"
