A LADY'S *XPERIKNOIS.

IN NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRA LIA.

The Mondon correspondent of the Aucklaud Rerald writing on June 2nd, say m In a very readable book jost brought out under the title " Our Stolen Summer • The Eeoord of a HoundaboutTonr," Mrs Mary Stuart B»yd gives a bright and spit tied hcoouuc of her experiences in Now Zealand and Austral a aud elsewhere.

Melbourne, according to Mrs Boyd, ia lamed for * etteets card, tea-shops, and the Melbourne Cap.' As to Sydney and it© greatest gloTy, Mrs Boyd rsmatki: • That Sydney has a beautiful harbour is indisputable, but that it is the unique oreadon its inhabitants profess t believe it can scarcely be conceded. All over the world there are others as fine, some fiaer> Its near neighbour, Auckland, with Its vast island-studded gulf and huge natural breakwater of Rangitoto. Rons it hard. 1 One tor Auckland t * Women's drees is expensive in New Zealand,' says M» B.yd. * I reckoned that were I resident in Auckland ib would coat ma four fcinaea as much to drees bb it does in London. In the first place, the material* and making cost twice the sum j and in the second, th<- combined influences ot sun. daat, md rain are such ihafe the completed garments would only last half the period.' Ib gtnetns that Sew Zealand ladies wear their, ekirs.B thort—-at least, they did some months r-g — but there ia good rtason for it. Mrs Boyd found * treir arrangements that way •' to be regulated by tho depth of the dust i-n the roads. Horses are so cheap in Auckland that the stylish thing is, not to drive youi own carriage, but to hire one. " H'h, did y v notice how stylish the So and f o's were on Saturday ? Tiny bad a hired landau,' waa one of the remarks that Impressed us. 'You eer, hor.aa are mo cheap here, and hiring io so dear, that it is considered smarter because it is more expensive to hire.' " "One .<-'uud»y afternoon," Bays Mra B>yd, ''as we louuged on the ve-audab, a fcugyy, crammed with wl-iu-robed, pink-ijarbsoitid besn ;s, was seen approach iug> Instead of entering the drive It btanched uff towards the stable entrance 4 "Visitors lor the kitchen,' s*id tho hostess, in answer to an ir quiring look." Mrß Boyd do.-s nob reejard the Maori as strictly beauiiiuU but he ia valiant, and, she trusts, good. His better half is not unpWing amid tba tribal surrounding?, but give her the nm of a draner'a fihop and its aniline dyee, and she becomi-a barbaric. This is in frocks, for, curioasly enough, tho Maori lady seldom condes cends to we?r what would be called a *' trimmed confection." Mrs Boyd gives a '* touching instance o? the wistful love of the Old Country " which the travellers found ove^ywh^re among colonials s— "'These fl were are from tho Old Country,' he answered, when I adniited bis «weet peas and gadetiaa. An uncle of mine that's a s reab gardener sends the seeds ever, &nd they d ■> grandly.' 'Do they bu< ceed batter than Sow Zealand eeeds would ? I aaked, innocently. * Well, no,' he admitted ; ' but then, you aeo, they come from Home.' "

How to Measure a Nation.

In an sddress of James Russell Lowell's to the Btudents of Harvard University he once said : •• I urn saddened when I see our success as a nation raeaeared by the number of seres under tillage or of bushels of wheat exported; for the real '/aluoof a country must be weighed in scales more delicate th»n the balance of trade. . . Oa a map of the woridyoa may covcrjJudoa with jour thumb and Athens wiih your finger tip, and neither of ilvm figures in the p:ices current , but they still lord it in th« thought and action of every ciriiised man . . Th« measures of a natioD'a truw eucccbs is the amount it has contributed to the thought, the moral energy, tho intel-

tactual happiness, ths ttpiritnn! hope and consolation of mankind. There ia no other, i«t our candidates flatter us as thpy may."

Population of Klonkyke.

A census of tho Kioudyfee country hse just been tak< n, showing the pepu* latiou of tdfi district to Dumber 15,000 of whom 9000 are Americans; When the first rush into the Yukon took piece nearly all the supplies wore of foreign origin, and the people of British Columbia were greatly per turned at see ng trade pnss their doors, which legitimately belonged to that province. The merchants of British Columbia set themselves vigorously to work, and now the position of affairs is changed so that British goods con stitute two thirds of the importations into the Yukon, as against one third from tfrn United States. For the s x ttOdtbs ending December 31 last the total value of British goods which entered the Yukon was 1,546,624:d015, and of American products 750,000d01s

Curing Consumptives.

Dr Stephen n, who over » year ago eetab.iahed n, small sanatorium near Bnnedin, has replied in a letter to Mr Wl rrgardir g the strictures p&Bsed by the Colonial Secrttary last week as to the inadvisableness of the erection of a consumptive*' home in the colony, bfotuse it wonld bring such patients from abroad for treatment, and cause the coloey to become saturated with disease. Th« writer says:—" My institutica bae eight patients at present, all of whom are doing well, and, in fact, the results in some cases are most ritnaikaMe. Prom my own experience, »B well as froiw the rtports of Home joarnale, I feel convinced that nearly every caie o£ consuption m&j be cured In tfa« early stages, and the patients may again become useful members of society. Moreover, by isolation and careful supervision, whch can be exercised in an establishment of this kind, all danger of communicating the disease i$ done with. I may say that my experience h that most of the cases which oee meets with are certainly not of visitors to the colony. Out of eighteen caees which have come to me for the open air treatment, nil have been either born in New Zealand or have been resident here for many years. Only one had came to the colony for his health. I am convinced that in JDanetiin alone there are enough native bom consumptive patients to fill a fair sii^d sanatorium. Trusting that further efforts in this direction may meet with better success.

Russian Emigrants in Canad a.

In 1898 add 1899 gone 25,000 Douk bobora migrated from the Kusrian Oauoftsea to Nortk west Canada. They are » fine class of people although very | poor. Their religious belief cloaely resembles that of tha Quakers, and a I number of prominent Friends of Phila delphia, took great interest in bringing these down trodden people to this continent. It is a tribute to British [institutions that tho Philadelphia ! Quakers should select locations in Uanada for the Doukhobors, in pre ference to the United Stateic. Now it appears eorne of the Western States are anxious to coax these people from Canada. Among the Dou'chobors, a« among all other large communities, there are restless and discontented spirits for whom nothing is good enough. The vast majority of these sattlera art perfectly satisfied with the way in which they have been trtated in the Dominion, and are aiakicg good progress with their farms. Oalifornian agtnts, however, gob hold of a few discontented ones, and took three of tbsir leaden on a trip through the States, where they stayed at the best hotels. As they would only spank tht j ; Kussian language, and bad to make all their enquiries through a Californian interpreter, it ii not surprising that they reported everything to be lovely As a result, a few of the JDoukhohor* in i Manitoba were influ^ncpd to leave for California, but ie is not likely that 1 their example will have much weight with those who have put a fair amount of labour a»d a little capital into their i farms; and in any case the Quakers and others who counselled the Douk hobors t ocome to Canada ia the first instance, will advise to them to stay here. They will also tell them that unless they repay to the Canadian Government tho money advanced to them, t'uy will not be acting in good f*ith in Betfcl ing in the United &t:»te*. Tho opinion of those in the boat position to jndgo is that the migrants to California are much more likely to return to Canada than to attract their friends aeroas the frontier;
