I HOUGH not generally known as
a field for tourists and not
often visited by American trav-
elers, the South island of New
Zealand is so rich in scenic at-
tractions that it merits more attention
from those who seek the beautiful or
imposing places of the earth. More-
over, it is not at all diffl<*ilt of access.
There is a direct railway running from
Uluft' to what is known as the "cold
lakes" district a distance of about two
hundred miles. The visitor to that re-
gion usually begins his tour of the
lakes at Kingston, where a govern-
ment steamer meets all trains and
conveys the traveler up Lake Waka-
tipu to the pretty town of Queenston,
a distance of 25 miles, writes W. D.
Hornaday in Grit. Another steamer
plies between Queenston and the up-
per head of the lake.
Good driveways skirt the shores of
this and other inland bodies of water
and running out of Queenston is a
road to the summit of Ben Lomon
mountain, which has an altitude of
5,747 feet. Other pleasant drives may
be made to picturesque towns and vil-
lages scattered through the rugged re-
gion. Lake Wakatipu is of great
depth, soundings having been made to
1,242 feet in one place. There are
Beveral perpetually snow-capped moun-
tains in New Zealand, and on the
North island, a smoldering volcano,
which emits smoke at frequent in-
tervals, affords diversity to the view.
Some of the glacial mountains are so
Situated upon the sea-tossed shore
of the South islaiM is the town of Bluff,
which has the distinction of being
what might be called the jumping-off
place of the southern hemisphere. Its
citizens claim that it is the most south-
ern municipality in the world.
There is an element of romance in
the very atmosphere of the com-
munity. It was there that several
Antarctic expeditions paid their adieus
to civilization and entered upon voy-
ages into unknown seas. In the earli-
er days Bluff was the headquarters for
many whaling expeditions. This In-
dustry gradually decreased, until it
is now conducted only on a small
scale. Living there today are a num-
ber of the sea-hardened men who be-
longed to whaling outfits. Some of
them still have enough strength left
to bring in their daily catch of fish,
and others of their comrades spend
their time idling about the wharf,
watching the steamships and sailing
crafts go to and fro, and regaling any
listener that'they may find with stir-
ring tales of their ocean-going experi-
ences. It is from Bluff also that most
of the sea-elephants and penguin oil
expeditions set forth. Some distance
to the south of here lie the Macquarie
group of islands, where most of these
expeditions operate during a certain
season of the year.

ARABELLA
Arabella was a beautiful wax doll,
in her day, and was given the best
of care by her mother who was very
fond of her, and when the mother
was too old to play with dolls she
wrapped Arabella in a soft cloth and
put her in a drawer, where she re-
mained for many years.
Then one day she took her out, and
Arabella heard her say to a little girl
who stood Deside her:
"This was my best doll when I was
a little girl. Now I am going to give
her to you. Her name is Arabella, and
you must be very careful of her, for
she is wax and cannot be dropped
without breaking, as your other dolls."
"But, mother," the little girl said,
"can't she be mended if I break her?"
"No," said her mother, "it will
spoil poor Arabella if you drop her,
as her head is very soft."
Arabella was very carefully handled
for a few days. She was put in a
pretty carriage and wheeled about;
then she was undressed at night and
put into a nice little bed, and she
had a new dress and a stylish bon-
net, and a number of little girls came
to see her. Her new mother told them
that Arabella was very old and that
her mother played with her when she
GIRLS ALWAYS GETTING HURT
Small Boy Gives Reasons for Object-
ing to Sister as Playmate—Ob-
servation of Child Life.
In the Woman's Home Companion
Mary Heaton Vorse writes a story en-
titled, "The Independence of Sarah."
It is full of wise observation of child
life. In the following extract, Alice,
the mother of a family, learns why
her small son Robert does not want
his sister Sarah as a playmate.
"Her sense of justice made Alice
feel that Robert should let Sarah into
his out-of-door games. She had a the-
ory that little boys and girls play the
same games if they are brought up
naturally together. For the most part
Sarah shared this opinion of her moth-
er; she shared it strongly; she
shared it vociferously. Robert dif-
fered.
"He put it this way: 'Fellows don't
want a girl forever tagging around
and always yelling.'
" 'I should think,' responded his
mother, 'that you want your little sis-
ter to play with you.'
"Thus driven into a corner he said:
" 'I want her to play with me, all
right; but if she's going to play, why
don't she play? She always gets hurt
with the least thing and comes home
bawling.'
"To this Alice responded: 'It's her
feelings that get hurt.' "
' 'I don't care what part of her gets
hurt,' said the downright Robert, 'if
it gets hurt—and she yells, and the
boys say to me: "Oh, gee! Here
comes your sister again. Run!"'
" 'I can run just as fast as lots of
you,' said Sarah. 'I can run faster
than Skinny Allen. I can run faster
than Mud Morse.'
" 'I know you can,' responded her
brother gloomily; '.that's what makes
it so fierce. We'd get away lots often-
er if you couldn't.'"

precipitous that they offer extraordi-
nary opportunity for the exercise of
prowess on the part of mountain
climbers. It is considered quite a feat
to reach the summit of the highest of
these rugged peaks.
Many natural phenomena are to be
seen In both the North and South
islands. Besides the wonderful and
awe-inspiring outbursts ot fire and w^-
ter that greet the eye in the thermal
district of the North island there are
some remarkable caves and other
manifestations of an unseen power
in the different parts of the Domin-
ion.
Not long ago a new set of stalactite
caves was discovered in the Nelson
district. Of the two or three caves,
one is supreme. It is tunnel-like in
formation, a huge underground way,
beautiful in its whiteness and the su-
perlative decoration, of deposited sili-
cia. A river that loses itself is also
an attraction.
.
tween New Zealand and Australia is
that which runs from Auckland to
Sydney. Auckland is about 1,100
miles north of Bluff. While the dis-
tance between Bluff and Hobart is
some less than that between Auckland
and Sydney, the former route is usu-
ally much rougher. There are few
days in the year that the Tasman sea
is not in a rage, a rough area of wa-
ter extends far to the south and even
borders the ice-locked land that sur-
rounds the south pole.
So far as the town of Bluff is con-
cerned, it presents few attributes of
beauty. It occupies a site on the
beach and running up into the hills a
short distance and bordering it on all
sides, except that which fronts the
ocean, are rugged and desolate-look-
ing rocks that give the spot a forbid-
ding aspect. The country extending
towards the Interior of the island is
well adapted to sheep-raising, and is
taken up by large ranches or "run*."
Poor Arabella's Face Was Changed.
was a little girl. But Arabella laughed
to herself. She did not feel old, and
she knew if her mother gave her
good care she would always look
young and feel young.
There came a day, however, when
her new mother became tired of her,
and she was left all day without be-
ing dressed, and sometimes she would
have to lie in bed for days at a
time with her eyes closed. At other
times she would be left in her car-
riage all night, and there she would
sit, staring into the darkness, and
she would wish her new mother would
put her to bed so she could close her
eyes.
One night Arabella was left in her
carriage on the piazza all night.
"Oh, dear!" thought Arabella. "I
will freeze out here in the night air."
And a big dog came up to her car-
riage and sniffed at her.
"Oh, dear! oh, dear!" she cried.
"What will I do? I am so afraid!"
Then the dog licked her cheek and
took off some of the red. Poor Ara-
bella almost fainted, but she sat quite
still and looked straight ahead, and
the dog walked away.
Arabella was glad when the day
light came, but the sun came also,
and her new mother did not move her
carriage, for she was busy making
mud pies on the shady side of the
house. By and by the sun crept up
to Arabella's carriage and then to her
feet, and finally all over her. .
"Oh, dear," thought Arabella, "will
no one save me? I shall melt. I
know I shall;" but her new mother
was very busy with her cooking.
At lunch time the new mother ran
around to the front of the house to
meet her father, and then she saw
Arabella, and such an Arabella you
never saw. Her new mother looked
at her, and ran into the house for
her mother to come quick and see
what had happened to Arabella. Poor
Arabella's face was changed, indeed;
the wax had melted and run down her
cheeks; she looked old and sad.
"I told you not to leave her in the
sun," said the mother to the little
girl.
"But can't her face be put in shape
again?" asked the new mother.
"No," said Arabella's first mother,
"she is spoiled, and to think I played
with her for years, and she was as
good as new when I gave her to
; you."
She took Arabella out of the car-
i riage. "Ytou poor old dolly," she said
: and Arabella leaned lovingly against
her. "The children nowadays do not
| love their dolls as I did when I was
| a little girl. I thought as much of
j you then as a mother does of her
child. IH put you back in the attic,'
I she said, carrying Arabella into the
house, "for I fcannot put you in the
ragbag. Even if your face is spoiled
you always will be Arabella to me
no matter how you look."

TOKENS OF HIGH CHARACTER
Good Manners Recommend, Prepare
and Draw People Together—Make I
Fortune of Ambitious Youth.
We are told much of utilities, but
tis our manners that associate us. In
hours of business we go to him who
knows, or has, or does this or that
which we want, and we do not let our
taste or feeling stand in the way. But,
this activity over, we return to the
indolent state, and wish for those we
can be at ease with; those who will
go where we go, whose manners do
not offend us, whose social tone chimes
ours. When we reflect upon their per-
suasive and cheerful force; how they
recommend, prepare and draw people
together; how, in all clubs, manners
make the members; how manners
make the fortune of the ambitious
youth; that, for the most part, he
marries manners; when we think what
keys they are, and to what secrets;
what high lessons and inspiring tokens
of character they convey, and what
this fine telegraph—we see what range
the subject has, and what relations to
convenience, power and beauty.—
Emerson.
PUZZLE FOR THE MOTORISTS
Eight Drivers Went to Different
Churches One Morning and None
Crossed Path of the Other.
Eight motorists drove to church one
morning. Their respective houses
and churches, together with the only
roads available (the dotted lines), are
shown. One went from his house, A,
The Austrian nobility usually marry
those of their own rank, with the re-
sult that nearly ail the families of
the aristocacy are related. Princess
Karl, whose mother and father to-
gether had 16 brothers and nine siB-
ters, told ,a correspondent of Cham-
bers' Journal that at the last court
ball there were more than a hundred
of her first cousins and that one win-
ter at Abbaeia she had not spoken dur-
ing a whole week of balls and parties
to anyone who was not connected
either directly or remotely with her
own or Prince Karl's family.
It was thought that the barriers of
caste would be broken down if the
Archduke Franz Ferdinand should suc-
ceed his uncle, the emperor; for if his
morganatic wife, Countess Chotek
(created duchess of Hohenberg by the
emperor), became empress, despite his
solemn oath to the contrary, the pres-
ent rules as to birth could hardly be
enforced. If they were so relaxed as
to permit a lady not of royal birth to
become empress of Austria they would
be relaxed for all those who now suf-
fer exclusion from court for lack of
princely blood. Princess Karl, al-
though aho is very broad-minded, could
admit no variation of this rule. "In
Austria," she said, "it is what you are
born that oounts, 4jot what you be-
come."
When I ventured to point out that
this sentiment belonged to the middle
ages, says tke writer, her reply
allowed me the unchangeable point of
view of the Austrian aristocrats. It
is not mere vulgar glorying in pride of
birth; it is the acceptance of a fact
that to them is as necessary and as
natural as the coming of night and
day. "I was born Durehlaucht" (that
is, Serene Highness); "I have married
a Durchlaucht; my children are Durcli-
lauchts How can I possibly recognize
Countess Chotek as empress? Durch-
lauchts do not make obeisance to
countesses no matter whom they may
marry. Countesses cannot* be made
empresses in Austria."
"But they can be made queens in
Hungary," I ventured, "and the arch-
duke would be king of Hungary as
well as emperor of Austria."
"It is different In Hungary," the
princess replied quickly. "The wife of
the king of Hungary is his queen, even
If she were a beggar girl."
"Then if the duchess of Hohenberg
had been queen of Hungary you would
have made obeisance to her as
queen?"
"Certainly," wes the immediate an-
swer.
"Then why not as empress?" I
asked.
"In Hungary the Countess Chotek
would be queen. It is only in Hungary
that I would make obeisance to her.
In Austria she could never be any-
thing save the Countess Chotek, be-
cause she was born Countess Chotek.
One does not make obeisance to coun-
tesses, even if they marry archdukes
who become emperors," she repeated.
The murder at Sarajevo made it im-
possible to put this question to the
test, but the Princess Karl gave the
point of view of the Austrian nobility
in a nutshell.

Germans Short of Beer,
Owing to the malt and barley sup-
ply to brewers being officially limited
to 60 per cent of their normal require-
ments, and owing to the vast demand
for beer for the army in the field, a
decided shortage of beer is noted in
Germany. In order to alleviate con-
ditions, the authorities have permit-
ted brewers having sufficient supplies
to use their allotted quantity of raw
material of the last quarter of 1915
for earlier consumption.
Brewers who have not sufficient
supplies may purchase available raw
material from other breweries, ii* or-
der not to interrupt work.
Furthermore, brewers are obliged
to pool one-half 01 their supplies of
raw material allotted for the fourth
quarter of 1916, which will be dis-
tributed among brewers by the com-
bined interests.
