DIGGING THE KAUR GUM LOWE AGO. | In the beautiful meadow of Long Ago, | y mem'ry. turps, with a longing ! fond, IT 18 ONE OF NEW ZEALAND i the place inthe meadows of Long BIG INDUSTRIES. Thousands of Men Make a Livelihood In the North Island Spearing In the Ground for Hardened Resin of | Kauri Pine Trees -- Price Ranges From $240 to $250 Per Ton--How Diggers Live. Take a map of the North Island of New Zealand, draw a line from vol. eanic White Island, in the Bay of Plenty, through the southern end of Tauranga Harbor, and across to Whaingaroa Harbor, and you have the southern boundary of the Kauri- gum district of New Zealand. From here to the North Cape lie the gum- fields. The Kauri pine, several known specimens of which measure from 25 to 30 feet in diameter, exudes a gum which, on exposure to the air, hardens, and in the course of time, by the tree. shedding its bark, falls to the ground and is buried in the humus Thousands of men make a living by digging this gum, which valuable article of ecommerce. tools used for finding it are ordinary spades and spears of various lengths according to the depth of ground which the digger is working in. He first uses the spear to locate the gum, by prodding the ground with it. The | spear has a rather blunt point, so | that it will not go through the gum, | and the experienced digger can tell by the sound whether he has struck gum, wood, stone, or charcoal It has recently been discovered that | a'small piece of iron or wire, twisted round the spear two or three .inches | from the point, makes it easier work for the digger when spearing 'it stiff | or hard ground -- which sounds im- probable until it is explained that the small piece of iron is making the hole for the spear, while on the other hand, without this small piece of iron, the digger has to force in the whole length of the spear, which, be- ing tapered, requires increasing ef- fort the deeper ¥ goes. The majority of the diggers live in tents or shanties made of sacks, split open, and nailed on to rough wooden frames after being séwn together in- to sheets of convenient sizes to cower roof and walls. The house is then finished off with a clay chimney. The gum inches on the hills and level eountry to fourteen feet or more in the swamps | and landslips. The shallow grounds are the winter | ficlds, and the gum obtained is gen- erally of the best quality. The price, at the time of writing, for this class | of gum ranges from $22.50 to $27.50 per cwt., parency, transparent being the The smallest pieces washed, and not scraped, from $10 to $12,560 per cwt. Scattered about over the ground are mounds, with a saucer-like depres sion close by. This depression 18 and the mound lled up by the roots the lightest colored and most more valuable. is the earth pu as two of gum, and the hollow also, sometimes, contains as much. In some places a black or dark brown gum is procured. This is gen- erally found in depressions or basins. First, there i a layer of white gum near the surface; about a foot. or eighteen inches deeper, another layer of white, of not very good quality, and down on the bed-rock lies the black gum. There are various theo- ries as to why _ this' gum is black. Some say' it was pro- duced by a black-hearted species of Kauri pine, which is so heavy with gum that it will hardly float The writer's opinion is that the gum has absorbed the tannin from the humus amongst which it has lain for hun- This decayed vege tation is not found in such quantity where white gum only is found, and when digging for black gum the dig- cwt gers hands get stained a dark brown | by the humus. : In some places landslips have covs cred the gum to a depth of 10 or 12 feet or more. This "slip-digging"' is rather uncertain, as a4 man i after spearing a piece of gum, dig a deep hole and get only the piece which he speared, or he might have struck a patch and get, perhaps, a ton out of it. A patch which yielded nearly 23 cwt. was discovered at low- water mark on a mud fiat on the Kaipara Harbor, and, apparently, was all deposited by one tree. Tt was lying in a thick deposit of decayed vegetation, with a foot or eighteen inches of river mud on top. This gum realized $240 per ton unseraped (sim- ply washed), and the digger got over $250 for three weeks' work, and he could work at it not longer than three hours--between the tides.

An Anglican clergyman, who for some years worked in the wilds of New Ontario, has this story to tell of an old Indian whom he converted, It is not widely known -but. it is true that polygamy is practiced by some of the pagan tribes of Canada. The Indian in question was a fine, old | buck, Arar and honorable | in his dealings, but after he had ac- cepted salvation the missionary in question learned that he had three | wives. He endeavored to induce the | old man to content himself with one | like a decent Christian -titizen, but | the redman remained obdurate. dry as the dear old The "My first wife old," he said; "Me | turn her out, she starve." "Of course," said | "keep her by your side, but what about the other two?" "My second wife, she strong," said the Indian. "She de all the work, | couldn't do without her." "And the sionary "Ah, she nice girl," said the old fan. "She only seventeen; me no | part with her on any account " Alberta Wheat via Mexico. | Mr. F. W. Peters, assistant to the | second vice-president of the C.P.R. | who has returned to Winnipeg from | a trip to Mexico to investigate con- | ditions in connection with the pro- | posal to ship grain to Britain by | this route, says the outlook for Al- berta wheat is distinetly encouraging The route will be a very convenient one, better than round the Horn, or even than through ithe canal It will be open the entire year. Wheat | from Alberta can be put on the Brit- | ish market at the same rate as wheat | from further east is carried by the | Atlantic route. Second Vice-President William Whyte, of the C.P.R., whe | was in Vancouver recently ho settle | details regarding the facilities for Mr. G. H.

Art Dealer Who Bought Pictures By the Djzen--Odd Superstition. : Alma-Tadema, the world-famous ar- tist, confesses to a superstition con- cerning the number 17. "My wife was 17 when JQ first met her,' he says, "and the.'sumber of the house to ried was 17. My present house did bear the same number, and the first spade was put to the work of build ing it on August 17. This was in 1885. "I had then been in possession of the place for three years, during that time designing and making plans and sketches for the house. On November 17, 1886, we took up our residence there." The artist says that in 1864 he re ceived a visit from the English pic ture dealer Gambart -- il principe Gambarti, as they used to call him in Italy. He was the leading picture dealer of his day and was held in great respect by artists. a "T yemember him on that first visit * the artist goes on, "standing before my easel, on which I had pos- ed my Coming Out of Church, and saying: 'Did you paint that picture for the ¥anderdonkts?' "I assured him of the fact. He what was the price. I told him that they had not seen it as yet. "Well, then,' said Gambart, *T take it; and let me have a couple of i dozen of that kind at progressive prices each half dozen.' 1t was really as if he had been buying bales of cot- ton. "Four years did it take me to carry out Gambart's first commission, and the day arrived when Gambart again paid me a visit. " 'I want you,' he said, 'to paint me | another four dozen pictures on the same condition of rising value.' "I consented, and I did my best not to disappoint him. The Vintage was painted as one of them, and when the dealer saw it, perceiving that it was | a far more important canvas than any | of its predecessors--a work, too, that | had cost me far more time and labor fo he at once insisted upon paying | it the figure which was to have | given for the last half dozen." § en The Shakespearean G.O.M. The grand old man of the Shake- speare birthday celebration was Dr. | Furnivall, who presided at the dinner | of the London' Shakespeare League. | Dr. Furnivall is in his 'eighty-fourth | year, and still as fit as the proverbial | fiddle. Dr. Furnivall founded the | Chaucer, New Shakespeare, Wyclif, | and Shelley Societies; also a very dif- | ferent organization, but characteristic of his versatile individuality--the Hammersmith Girls' Sculling Club. His athletic hobby has always been sculling; in fact, he actually con- tinues to take sculling exercise at least one day a week un the Thames at Hammersmith. It would be dif- ficult to specify a veteran who more admirably illustrates the "Men sana in corpore sano," Dr. Furnivall. No man living knows 'more about Shakespeare, and how Shakespeare should be acted, than he does. It is pleasant to find that, with all his vast | experience, he looks with a: favorable eye upon present Shakespearean pro- ductions as compared with those of the past. He is entitled to draw com- parisons, not only by virtue of his unrivalled knowledge of the poet's works, but because he has clear re- collections of the old Shakespearean astors.e He vividly. remembers seeing Macready in "Lear," yet he thinks that great actor was not very much better than some of our living play- ers. Phelps, too, he readily recalls-- "a competent, sound actor, but very solid and uninspired." Altogether, the doctor considers that there is more genuinely good Shakespearean acting now than ever there has been during his lengthly lifetime. than Send Him to Canada. There is a belief steadily gaining ground .in well-informed circles, ac- cording to London newspaper reports, that Lord Charles Beresford will | sholy be offered the governorship of one of our larger self-governing colo- nies. Asked as to the accuracy of these reports the other day, he said | "There is nothing more | | with a smile | probable. Seeing that my career | far has been entirely a naval ofie, it { is just the sort of thing that would oceur to the authorities. To put me in some place where a ship is never seen or heard of." Despite this re ply, however, there are wery good rea sons for believing that he would ac cept this position if it were offered to him. Owing to the sitting of the Naval Inquiry Committee Lord €has Beresford was compelled to miss the Tr or the two thousand guineas the other day, but there is no more keen- er follower of the turg. He has never | been known, however, to make a bet on a race. "Why should 1," he once | asked when this fact was mentioned to him. "I get quite as much enjoy- ment watching' my friends lose their money as I should if I wagered my own--and it comes cheaper!" The King's Lunch. | King Victor of Italy is very fond of | going out chamois hunting quite un- attended, and one day he met with an | amusing experience. He had shot a ehamois, #nd a peasant boy, who had seen the animal fall, offered to go and, | fetch it. The King thanked him, bat | the lad inquired what was to be his reward. "Well, what do you want " | asked King Vietor. "A franc and half | your lunch," was the reply. The bar- | gain was struck, and the peasant went off and fetched the dead cha- mois. The King handed him a {rane, and proceeded to divide his luncheon | into two equal portions. But the peasant turned away in. contempt, for | it consisted only of black bread and | & large raw onion. "Bah!" exclaimed | the boy, disdainfully, "I thought you | were a real gentleman, signor, but 1 { gee you are only a poor beggar like | myself after all." nm ---- Only Partially Successful.
