 THE QUEEN'S RECORD REIGN IN

        NEW ZEALAND,



  Aramoho, near Whanganui, New Zealand

  As I first saw the light in Bedford, a stray

thought has prompted me that some of your

numerous readers might be interested to know

the manner in which the Queen's Jubilee was

 kept in this far-away land. Holding a posi-

tion under the New Zealand Government, my

 lot is cast in an up-country   place. This

 district is called the home of the Maoris. We

 are now  in mid-winter, and  it is a beautiful

 morning with just a tinge of frost. The birds

 are singing, and, Io! the mighty snow-clad

 volcano (Ruapehu) mountain is in sight; the

 sun is beaming on us kindly, and doubtless

 as the day advances it may throw out of our

 dormant natures a sudden burst of enthusism.

  The Maoris are to be  the prevailing spirits.

 When  they take anything in hand it has to go, 

  and with a great noise, too. They are gather-

  ing their strength from their up-river settle-

  ments for some weeks past. They are now

  camping  alongside of the great river here,

  and  great excitement is in  their camp.

  Numbers of them are coming down the river

  in their quaint canoes, hewn out of the largest

  trees. Wending my way down to the small

  seaport town of Wanganui, where the festivities

   are to be held, a wondrous sight meets the eye.

   Hark!  the procession is just starting. First,

   the advance guard of the Alexandra Cavalry;

   at their heels come three Highland pipers.

   The garrison band lead the volunteers; then

               

   the boys' college tableaux, with a large ever-

   green Crown, mounted on a decorated dray,

   drawn  by a  team of ten bullocks. Truly

   Colonial!  Next come  the school children,

   and  very bright and happy they look, each

   carrying a flag of various colours. The Sal-

   vation Army's  band  plays a most  stirring

    march; behind them the bravest and the best

   come  along—56  veterans, all of whom hold

   the New  Zealand war medals, and some the

    Victoria Cross. These were the men to burst

    a road through all difficulties. The railway

    station is reached, a halt is made to receive

    the Wairoa   mounted  infantry, who arrive

    just in time to join the procession. The fire

    brigade look smart in their scarlet uniforms,

 as do  the Friendly Societes, especially the

 Druids. The  Arch and his Officers are seated

 on  a dais, with a  large tree overspreading

 them, and the members  who follow in their

 long white beards make  a most impressive

 sight. The  boating clubs represent the land-

 ing  of Captain Cook. Now  comes  the

  principal sight—the Maori  contingent, with

  their great war canoe, mounted on old gun

 carriages. The Waitotara Maori band of 26

! performers, followed by 300 Maoris, all in

  their wild  war  dress, carry  their various

  weapons. There is Major Kemp (a Maori),

  dressed in full regimentals, and wearing the

  sword presented to him by Queen   Victoria.

i Seated in the  canoe  are the oldest warrior

                                                                                                                                                                         

  chiefs, all beautifully tatooed, and holding

  their war flags. The butchers' and freezing

  companies'  display, the bakers, brewers,

  laundry, sash and door factory hands, and the

  cycle clubs swell the ranks. In the avenue

  leading to the New  Hospital oak  trees are

  planted by the Mayoress. They  move  on,

   pass the principal streets, reach the Green,

   where a halt is made, and the school children

   and bands join in the National Anthem.

   Then  we give three cheers, very thin staccato

   ones, like streaks of lightning. Then, sir,

   the Maoris had the magic signal from their

   chief to give three royal cheers for Queen

   Victoria. Good   heavens!  what a  terrible

  I noise. I can only liken it to a tremendous

   burst of thunder. The ground (being pumice

   and  sand) shook like an earthquake. The

    shout from  these 16 and  17 stone-weight

    people seemed to pierce the sky. One Maori

    woman, whom  I  noticed, took in a deep

    breath, and from her magnificent chest burst

    forth such a grand round, sustained note that

    it is doubtful if the highly trained singers of

    Europe  could eclipse it. In the afternoon we

   i were to be treated to a grand war dance from

    the Maoris on the racecourse, and a sham

    fight by the Volunteers. The war dance is

     now only given on very rare occasions, and

     this was witnessed by 1, 500  people, which

     means  in this thinly populated district a great

     crowd, About 2 o'clock the various bands,

     with the Volunteers and  Maoris, arrived on

     the racecourse. First on the programme was

     the famous war dance. Ah me! how shall I

 The  Jubilee, Tuesday, Feb. 1, 1898. [2]          Te Tiupiri, Pepuere 1, 1898,

 describe it. These 300 Maoris, both  men

 and women, and most of them tatooed, were

 half naked, to give more  freedom  to their

 limbs. They  range themselves in a body,

 patiently wait for  the signal, as their chiefs

 are supposed  to be out reconnoitering, and

 from behind a fence they burst on them like

 red-hot shells. Then  the  principal chief

 waved  his hands over them and breathed on

 them, and as if by magic they are all turned

 to fiends, highly charged with magnetism.

 He commences a little harangue; then comes

 the response from the whole body of them—a

 most  unearthly yell. This is the defiance.

 Oh!  it was terrible. They  begin to work

 their bodies and limbs slowly at first, just to

 get up steam. Now  they are  getting very

 excitable, their eye balls roll fearfully, and

 they scream  dreadfully. Up and down  go

 their feet, while they  slap their thighs with

 their left hand, all beautifully to time to a

 most  dismal chant. They  soar up to a tre-

 mendous   crescendo, and gradually fall in

' diminuendo, while they surge about like the

 restless ocean this way  and  that way, their

 tongues rolling about, with froth at the mouth,

  quaking and drawing in their breath hideously.

  Up fly their weapons in the air, and the fierce-

 ness and  hate that shone from them was—

 sublime. The applause that fell from the on-

 lookers was deafening. Some  of these very

 living Maoris were  only a few years back

 cannibals. Afterwards come  the Poi dance

 by  young  Maori  girls, and this was very

 pretty. Now  for the sham fight from the

  Volunteers. The Mounted Rifles formed the

  attacking force. The defenders were composed

  of the Boys' School Cadets and 100 Navals,

 under the command  of Lieut. M. Niel, of

 Aramoho. The  fight was opened by the

  Naval scouts, engaging the Mounted Rifles

  very creditably The march-past was creditably

  done. At four in the afternoon the shades of

  eve were stealing on, so the Royal Salute was

  fired with hats in the air, three ringing cheers

  for Victoria, and the sun went down on one of.

  the most pleasant days that I can remember.

 The Town Council of Whanganui spent £100

  on fireworks, which were manufactured in the

  colony. In  the evening a grand illuminated

  procession went through the principal streets.

  Noticeable was  a  tableau representing an

  incident at the battle of the Alma; also a fine

  one of the course where the firework display

  took place; the rockets and set pieces were

  very fine, especially one to Queen Victoria,

  and while it was burning the National Anthem

. was sung. Then came a view of the town

illuminations, which were very good indeed,

especially the town lamp with its large crown.

The bridge, too, was very brilliant. And it

came to pass as I journeyed down to the quay

that I lighted on a certain old building, which

was used in the old days as a coach factory.

On  looking within I saw that the Maoris were

at  it again. They   were  still grievously

tormented  with Taipo  (their devil). They

were giving the poor, old wood floor pepper,

(poor things, they'd had a little drink on this

memorable  occasion). After waiting for the

cable which conveyed to us the cheering news

of the National Anthem at St. Paul's, London,

the bonfires blaze away on the mountains, and

the church bells are ringing peal after peal.

So in the small hours on my homeward way I

pass the Maori  encampment.... I

pause... all is hushed to. sleep. The

beautiful moon is shedding its soothing rays

on them. It is calm, and delightfully quiet.

For, Io! the evil spirit has departed from out

of them. [The  contributor of the above

        HOW TO CURE WARTS.





    IT is now  fairly established that the common

  wart, which is so unsightly and often proliferous on

  the hands and face, can be easily removed by small

  doses of sulphate magnesia taken  internally. Mr

  Colart of Lyons has drawn attention to this extra-

  ordinary fact. Several children treated with three-

  grain doses of Epsom salts, morning and evening

  were promptly cured. M. Auberns cites the case of

  a woman  whose face was disfigured by these execres-

  cences, and who was cured in a month by a drachm

  and  a half of magnesia  taken daily. Another

  medical man  reports a case of very large warts

  which  disappeared in a fortnight from  the daily

  administration of ten grains of the salts. We might

  mention that we have seen the above cure tried with

  good effect, and recommend a trial.

       THE GARRISON BANDS.
   A  most enthusiastic reception awaited our band
  on their return from Napier last Saturday night.
  On the exit of our boys from the train, three deafen-
 ing  cheers were given by the hundreds assembled
  at the station. They then marched ta the Drill
  Hall, playing part of the way the march which
  brought them  victorious in the quick inarch con-
  test, followed by another rattling quick step. They
  had a good time, and speak in excellent terms of
  the treatment received at the hands of the Napier
  people.  The  following honours  were  secured,
| much   to their credit, seeing the short time they
 have been under the conductorship of Conductor
  Crichton :



          OUR BOWLERS.
    Our  Bowlers  also returned after doing good
   work for the honour of Whanganui,  having tied
   with Palmerston N. for the banner, won by our
   team last year,  In playing off, Palmerston N.
   proved too many for Whanganui. Nevertheless, our
   team showed  themselves steady and  consistent
   players. It will be observed on occasions when
   Whanganui  takes part in sport or contests of what-
   ever nature, we are not to be held too cheap, either
   at home or abroad.

  tetahi atu Tima e tae ana ki te 250 tana, a tera e

  tino whakapaia, kia tino pai rawa hei pikau tangata,

  wai, ko te, tere o tona haere i roto i te haora 14

   WHANGANUI STEAMSHIP COMPANY.

    On  Tuesday last the s. s. " Manaroa '' was taken

  over by the above locally formed company. The

  capital is £20, 000 in 4000 shares of £5 each. Her

  price is £3, 500. The company is formed by the

  business men of Whanganui, and we feel confident

   under their management, success is before them.

   It behoves us now to support this long wanted

   venture, as by assisting the company we will at the

   Same time be assisting ourselves. The " Manaroa's

   carrying capacity is 140 tons. It is the intention of

   the company, within a short time, to obtain a boat

   of about 250 tons, which will be fitted up in first-

   class style for passengers. The boat will have light

   draught with a speed of 14 miles per hour and fitted

    up with electric light.

      At a sale in Paris the other day, a splendid dish

   of rare old  Rouen  ware fetched £304. It was

    twenty inches in  diameter, and  was  beautifully

    painted with Cupids and flowers. There are some

    very fine specimens of this china in the private

    apartments at Windsor Castle.

      In the town of Veroyonsk, Siberia, the thermome-

    ter ranges from fifty to eighty-six below zero. The

    residents never bathe. Their windows are made of

    ice. A  clear piece is selected, about  five or six

    inches thick, mortised in the window openings in

    blocks of two feet, and sometimes as large as four,

    and with water is made solid. The water is as good

    as putty. When the window  becomes dirty they

    scrape it off with a knife, and when it has been

     scaped thin, they substitute a new pane.
