AN AMBASSADOR'S FIRST VISIT,. A$luni Salunite a (7x11 Until Ile. thea Been Received by the Queen. \Viten a DPW alnba teador arrives la London ho does not feel at liberty to accept any invitation until he bee been received by the queen. 1f the queen le at \\rindeor oe at Osborne, this nuili- ence ix granted without delay. if she Is in Soothtnd, or in the south of F.ran80, the ambassador must await her return before making any public enguunion is. Eliquet:te requires him to pay lila respects to the sovereign before aceeptilg hospitality from her subjects. An ordinn.ry visit to the queen le made on what, is called a "dine -and - sleep" invitation from the Lord Stew- nrd. The new ambassador takes his predecessor's lettere of recall and his own credentials, and presents them to the queen. He dime at the royal residence tie the queen's guest, uad converses with her on the friendly re- lations of t118 two countries. After dinner he takes leave of the queen, and retires to his room to write private let- ters on paper bearing the royal crest. The next morning he breakfasts by himself, and is driven in a royal oar - doge to the station for the London train. After this formality the new am- bassador is the duly ncoredttod re- preaontaLive of his government, and is at liberty to accept general invita- tions. When his mission is at an end almost the last visit he pays is n stint - lar one for taking leave of the sov- o'r'iegn. .reign. England, the queen 1s cardial in man- ner,and unaffected in speech, and has a talent for making her visitors feel at ease. The new ambassador is put on thel evol of a personal friend. POINTED PARAGRAPHS, A gratuitous falsehood naturally gives itself away. Men of sense sometimes makes cents out of nonsense. The poorest marksman may accident- ally hit the target. • The comely lase is responsible for many a Lacerated heart. The thermometer sometimes gets very low, but it's never vulgar. It may take nine tailors to make a man, but one woman can break him. It is surprising what an amount of nothing some people can accomplish. Parents should send their naughty children to a nautical training school. Giving advice to women and throw- ing stones al dogs bas much the same effect. Remember when you break the sil- ence that the least said is the soonest mended. The man who doeen't believe in heav- en or the other place alivays wants the earth. It has been estimated tbat steamers aro 20 per cent. safer than Bailing vessels. Many of our laws seem to have been created for the •purpose of executing injustice. Nothing pleases a girl more than ber ability to win the man of another girl's choice. The ideal juror Is a man who never reads the papers, or if he does is un- able to understand what he reads. Some mon resemble postage stamps; they stick to one thing until they get there—but you've got to lick them first. A man can sometimes learn a great deal by studying the disposition of women—but the tuition usually comes high. Fair weather friends are plentiful but few are willing to bold an um- brella over you during a storm of ad- versity. Many of the worid'e greatest men aro unknown to fame. They are great beoasue they share their joys with oth- ers and keep their sorrows strictly to themselves. LAWS OF NEW ZEALAND. SOME INFORMATION ABOUT ITS SOCIAL LEGISLATION,. A. Land Where There Are Ne Unemployed, Whore the llbm'3 et limber Aro short, aid Where indigent Old People Are Penalon ed. New Zealand is dubbed "the country of overlegislation," that ie, by those within her borders, whose interests aro not served b,y her logielative Rets, and those outelde whose education in political economy will not permit them to believe that some of the peculiar laws of this remote land will stand the test of every -day practical use, writes 3.. Martin Miller from Christ- church, New Zealand. Although New Zealand is a British colony, she governs herself independ- ently of the mother country. This le just as true, however, of the other six colonies of Australasia. But in the compiling of and tampering with the friction of profitless competition of that kind. I have beon personally assured by many shopkeepers In all parts of the colony that nelt'hor their earnings nor their takings have dim- inished since the system has been in- augurated. On the other hand, It has been the means of giving to a large Beotton of our workers—rho shop em- ployes—more reasonable hours, great- er time for personal reoreation, larger leisure for the aoqulrement of person- al oulture; and that very feet, has, iuoidentally, enabled the employes to give better results to those who em- ploy them, I am glad to say that the great majority of shopkeepers now re- cognize that the early closing 'legisla- tion has been of material benefit, anll I feel persuaded that they would not ease to revert to the former condition of things. The provisions of the act are striotly enforced, but, in noting that, I should add that the general recognition of the value of the law by the shopkeepers Is eucb that inter- ference is seldom needed. No real hardship has resulted to anybody. Of that I am confident. The act is suf- ficiently elastic to make provision for the needs and peculiarities of differ- ent classes of business. Certain ex- ceptions are made in the oases 0% hair- dressers, fruiterers, and others con- cerned in the wants of travellers, and so forib, while hotels do not Dome un- der the act at all, being properly sup- ervised under the licensing acts. Of course, the weekly half holiday is witb us compulsory, as is the observance of all public holidays. Where, how- ever, owever, a week includes a holiday, the granting of the regular half holiday is noL enforced. "We have very strict factory regu- lations. Since its enactment the con- dition of factory employes bas great- ly improved, and some of the largest factory owners in the colony are fully 'in accord with the principle of the acts. Indeed, bona fida factories are help- ed, for the old loose system worked largely to the benefit of the sweaters, who are naw rigidly kept under, Of course, friction occurs at tines, but that is inevitable, "Touching now on the question of OL:D AGE PENSIONS have you definitely settled your policy in that matter, Mr. Ward?" "Yes, de- finitely, We have established the scheme. IL is too elaborate to be sur- veyedin detail now; but, briefly, every man or woman in New Zealand over the age of 65 will henceforward be en- titled to a pension, the maximum sum being £16, 590, yearly per individual pensioner. Of course there are condi- tions. The parties must have 'resided in the colony for twenty-five years continuously—the necessity for such clause is obvious—and they must be really in need of the money; if they are capable of earning £52 per year they are not considered in need. Real- ly the object is to see that no man or woman who, through no fault of his or hers, is in a condition of poverty, shall be starved or be needlessly paup- erized, . Under our scheme few new officials are to be appointed, if any. The money will be distributed to ap- proved pensioners by the postal offi- cers. No new departnlont will be created; the act is to be administered by the registrar of friendly societies as executive officer under the minis- ter." the statute book, New Zealand bas been much more aggressive than any of the other colonies, and has been right aL the foreelrunt of all coun- tries as the pioneer In what is termed by many people "experimental legis- lation." Here is a country far from the great markets of the world, but wonderfully rich in natural reeources; agriculture, timber and mai, Precious metals, to some extent, are mined with profit. In addition to several small islands which are dependencies, New Zealand' comprises two large islands, separated by a eha,nnel—Couk's Strait—fourteen milds wide at the narrowest point. These aro called North and South Is- lands, the latter being a little the larger. The total area is 104,471 square miles. New Zealand has four smart towns, namely Auckland, Wel= lington, Dunedin and Christchurch, all seaports, with a population of about 50,000 each. The 'distance across the Tasman Sea, between New Zealand and Australia proper, is 1,200 miles. The population of New Zealand, in round numbers, is 750,000 whites and 40,000 aborigines, or Maoris. Practically there are NU UNEMPLOYED. in New Zealand. That is. to say, the unemployed difficulty—the grave pro- blem, based on the preemie ;n a com- munity of large bodies of able-bodied men unable to obtain work—does not exist. Such seems to be the plain fact in New Zealand, without the least in- dulgence in hyperbole. There are two political parties, the Liberals and Conservatives. To the former the latter attribute all the "evils of bad. legislation," but the Lib- erals still keep in power, and the peo- ple seem to be with them, although the leading newspapers of the colony are Conservative and "with the rich men,' as the Liberals say. No corporation or individual can own enormous tracts of land or other real estate unless he pays the "penalty of suoaess."' The railway and telegraph lines are owned by the government. The graduated land tax has been in operation for some time, and the friends of the government claims that it works admirably. According to this law the laborer who owns a very modest home, or the farmer who has a small tract of land he is struggling to improve, pays the lowest rate of taxation. The man wbo owns a little more property than either of these is taxed a degree higher, and so on, un- til the man who is very riob, with his thousands of nares, would pay the high- est rate in the schedule. The govel'n- menit does its assessing in Lt's own way, and if any one is dissatisfied and thinks the valuation is too high on his particular property, the govern- ment stands ready, according to the law, to buy the land at the assessed valuation and pay °ash for the same. Many large tracts have been bought by the government in this way and sold out to•emall farmers on credit at a very slight advance on the price paid. This has operated to greatly de- velop New Zealand's large tracts and added very materially to the gener- al WEALTH OF THE COMIVIUNITY. I sought an interview with the on, 3, G. Ward, the ex -Treasurer of New Zealand, and recognized in London as the greatest financier in the colony, and al; home as a great political econ- omist, fie has been In active politics in New Zealand for eleven years, and his opinion is regarded most highly wherever he is known regardless of political affiliations. Said I:"Ma. Ward, has the New Zea- land Parliament, in your opinion, en- acted any law in the line of social leg- islation that the people of your coun- try would litre to have repealed 9' There are not many people b3 New Zealand,' said Mr. Ward, "who would now suggest any attempt co repeal any of the social legislation we have placed upon our statute books." "For instance, take our conciliatory and arbritation. laws. At first they were very stoutly opposed; it was a hard-fought political battle, but suc- cess followed. In practice the law has been the means of ameliorating the strife, that from time to time, must necessarily arise between the indus- trial classes and their employers. In tbese eases—and they have been many —that have come up for consideration in all parts of the oolony, it bus brought about a workable and econom- ical solution, of the difficulties which, under other conditions, would have de- veloped into strikes—the old method of settlement, ruinous alike to em- ployers and employed, I feel quite certain that. no appreciable percente age of etther class would now allow any part of this legislation to be re- pealed, or for a moment tolerate'• the euggostionf Any action will be in the d reetien of improvement and ex- tension. "Then as to our early closing move- ment;. At first this.also received a great deal of criticism, and a consid- erable amount of opposition—particu- larly from the shopkeepers. They be- lieved, and in the absence of practical trialMath belief ief was not to ho o n- derai at—that early closing was go- ing to be inimical to their welfare and detrimental to their buninesa.

"Under ILhe influence of applied phosphate, the clovers will work with redoubled energy and store an ample supply of nitrogen, together with an accumulation of humus, after the fashion of farmyard manure, but more perfectly. On such a +.foundation as this the supposed maximum producing limit of land is greatly extended, and hitherto undreamt of yields be- oome both possible and probable. I have from time to time seen results, which have fairly set my hair on end, and investigation has invariably dis- closed a big Teserve of humus well seasoned with phosphate. For We top -dressing of the clovers the Thomas -Phosphate seems perfectly well adapted. I do not know how far, lime of the phosphate may help, but pertain it is the clovers respond mono luxuriantly to the Thomas -Phosphate than to any other application. I therefore have no hesitation in recom- mending an immediate application of five hundred weight of Thomas-Phos- pbate per acre to all rotation seeds and clovers, irrespective of soils or circumstances, and I am fully assured that this foundation laying will not only be rednunarative in itself, but will simplify all future opera- tions."
