It is a fat apple rad full of juice. New Zealand contains less than 800,000 people, but it has the greateet spendera on the face of the ' globe. One family here buys more than thee in Rus- sia, almost twiee as much as one in Ger- many and morP than tenfold the amount of the average faanily of South America, Indiii, - China or the Philippines. Exanevee:ener NEW ZEALANDERS. WO Pride oa selves On the luxurious con- dition of ourorkingmen. Jothave before me the figures f Mulhall, the famous sta- Ni, tician, as to the average annual expendi- tures per headthe world over. The Rus- sians spend $0; the Italians $58 ; the Swiss $90, and the Dutch and Germans each just about $100 per year. The French have each an ahnuel expenditure of $119 ; the Belgians 81127, and the English less than -ma '' The greatest ;Tenders are the Ameri- cans, $164 50 ;ithe Australians, at $167.50, and the New ; Zealanders at $176. One hundred and eeventy-six dollars a head is $880 per familY, the highest of any nation or people anywifiere. Compare this with the Chinese, sotne of whose families live on $2 a month the year through, and you get some idea of the value of this trade, which annually amouote in exports and imports to almost $100,000,000. NEW ZEALkND OITIES AND TOWN'S. In travelling through New Zealand I see everywhere evidences of this extravagance. The people are well dressed. Their houses are comfortable!, and their towns have all the accompanitnenta of modern eiviliz ,ion. Thera are not many large cities, but there are scores of toWns of about 1,000.and 2,000 each, and a dozen perhaps ranging between • e2,000 and 10,-00 ). As to the eities, Auckland, at the north, ender the ehadew of Mount Eden, on a beautiful bay, il$ the largeat. It has about 63,000 populatiOn. It has wide, well -paved • streets, great bheiness blocks, a public lib- rary, a botanical garden, clubs and societies, sehools of all kinds and churches galore. It has a climate like Naples and has more rich men to its population than any other town in New 'Zealand. Wellington, the capital, is farther down on the same Wand, on Cook Strait. It has 42,000 and is grow- ing faster than any other city of New Zea- land. It has st earnehip lines to all parts of ( the world and oes a great trade. t'IIRIST OIUR(11 AND DeNEDix. Crossing over to the Middle Island, the largest city is Christ Church, with 54,000 population, situated on the famous Canter- bury Plains, and still further south on the same island, is Dunedin, with a population of 50,000. Chriat Church and Dunedin are rival towns, the spirit of the people being much like that which animates Minneapolis and St. Paul. ;Christ Church is an English • town. It was founded by a colony of Eng- lish Epiecopalians about 60 years ago. Dane - din was founded by Scotch Presbyterians at the same time, and in its early days, I am told, it waa by no means safe to ques- tion foreordination, election, justification, j eanctification r infant damnation within its borders. 1 To -day the pliopIe of Dunedin are nine - tenths Scotch. 1 There are Scotch names over the stores, Scotch names for the streets, and when I asked a rosy faced little boy the name o: the churches, he replied, with a pronounced Scotch brogue : " That, sor, te the Fierst kirk." • The Dunedin men say that their churches are far better ceT than these of the rival city. They are all out of debt and have money in the ban k. When the city was founded, one-tenth of the land was set seide for the chureh. This land is leased out on ground rents for 21 years at a time, ort the conditioa that at the close of each such lease all the improvements shall belong to the church. • PLENTY OF LEISURE. • All the New iZealand cities are well built. They have their theatres, libraries and stores, their.hanks and their factories. Every one has Ito cricket club and its recre- ation grounds and many have their botani- cal gardens. There are saloons or hotels as well as churches, and the people devote a large part of their time to enjoyment. The sight -hour day 'gives plenty of leisure night and morning. The man stops work in time to dregs up for the evening, if he so wishes, and during his half holiday he spends more than though he were at work. THE LOWESr TOWN OF THE PACIFIC. I recently visited the lowest town on this side of the woeld. It is the bottom city of the Pacific, far below Cape Town, at the bottom of Africa, and almost as far south as Punta, Arenas at the bottom of • South Atherica.. It iis Invercargill, at the extreme eolith of New Zealand, as nice a little city of 10,000 peoPle as you will find anywhere. The town is in:dwell built as any of the same size in the U ited States. It has water- works, good se ools, a public library and a beautiful park upon the waters of which ewim half a dezen jet black swans. I took a walk through the town, stop- ping in the business section at an agricul- tural implement store. The show room was filled with farming machinery. I noticed that • half of the supply was American. There were eeveral Chicago drills, two Ohio harvesters and some Illinois plows. I entered and talked with the proprietor. He totd me that he found a good side for American reapers and all sorts of American farming tools,' but that the British and Canadians were trying to crowd the Amer- icans out of tae market. Said he: "One of the chief competitors is Canada. The ttanadian firma will sell on longer time and we can get better prices for their goods on that aucount. We have to charge less when we eel' for cash, and it is much harder to sell." I.t/t ERNMENT HEEPS THE FARMER. The Government here watehee the in. terests of the farmers very closely and aids theni in many ways. This is eispecially so 38 to the dairy industry. The Government loans money to butter makers, making cash advances up to $10,000 under certain con- ditions. The interest paid is 5 per cent. and the loan is to be repaid within fifteen years in half -yearly instalments. The Government hes also cold storage plants, where all butter intended for export is frozen, given free storage for a month- and then put on the steamer. The law provides thet all exported butter must pass throuith these plants, med. thus be subject to Govern- ment inspection I see large batter facteries everywhere I go through New Zealand, and I am told that auch factories are steadily inoreasing. The annual butter and cheese export now amounts to more than $2,500,000, and last year almost 10,000,000 pounds of butter were exported. Some of this went to- A,tietralia, some to Great Britain and some to the Philippiines. A MONEY MAKER. - I am surprised at the line cattle of New •Zealand. The islands have registered Shorthorns, Herefords, Polled Angus, Ayre. shire, Jerseys and cross breeds. There are more than 30!),000 dairy cows, and their average grade is high. I am told that good mach cows each yield 500 gallons of milk per annum and that as much as 700 gallons This signature is on every box Of the genuine Laxative Biomo=Quinine Tablets the remedy that tures n cola in one de/ each is got from selected herds. The milk is rich, averaging about a pound of butter to every two and a half gallons of milk, so that he common New Zealand dairy cow annu Ily produces 200 pounds of butter or 500 p undo of cheese. Estimating the -- butter at 22 cents a pound and the cheese at 9 cents a pound, you will see that each cow buns in about $45 a year, which you will agree is pretty good for a cow. - PE After MANENTLY CURED Seven Years of Great Suffering. Mr. Haniiiton Waters, of Ridgeville, Tells of Hi Relief from Neuralgia, Rheuma- tism nd Stomach Trouble Through the Agen y of Dr. Williams' Plnk Pills. For yea a Mr. Hamilton Waters, the well- known ca tle buyer -of Ridgeville, Ont., was an acute s fferer from neuralgia, which was later co plioated with rheumatism and stomach t ouble. But DOW, thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, he is enjoying the best of health. Speaking of his illness and sub- sequent ure, Mr. Waters said :---" For seven ye re I istiffered great agony from neuralgia, the pains were of a darting, ex- cruciating nature, and for days at a time would be Iso great thab -4 feared I would lose my r ason. To 'fluorite, my misery, I was attac, ed with rheumatism, and this was closely f llowed by stomach trouble. My joints an limbs becameawollen and I was almost he pleas. I suffered from nausea and a deoided loathing for food. I became very thin, and was constantly troubled with cold sweats. t different times I was treated by three phy icians without reoeiving anything in the wa of permanent benefit. I grew desponde t and began to think that -I would alwayo b a sufferer, when one day my drug- gist advi d me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. H said that within his kvowledge there wa not a case where the pills had been used but hat benefit had followed, and he • added : 1" That is saying a lot in their favor, fcr I have Sold over five thousand boxes, aid hitee not had a complaint from anyone."l Following his advice, 1 procured a supply lof the pills, and after a few weeks I could n te an improvement in my condi- tion. B the time I had taken eight boxes of the pil s the neuralgia and rheumatism had entir ly disappeared, and my stomaeh was once more in se healthy condition. My appetite' proved, and I gained in weight and etre'gbh daily. It is now over two years sine. I discontinued the use of the pills, and all that time I have enjoyed the best of h alth and haven't felt an ache or pain, so ataI think that I am safe in say- ing that y cure is permanent. In fact, eight box s of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ac- oomplish d what three doctors had failed to do, and Ilfeel I am justified in warmly re- commend ng them to °there." • A very 4high medical authority has said that " ne reign' is a cry of the nerves for better blo d." Rheumatism is also recog- nized as a. disease of the blood, and it is be- cause Dr. Williame". Pink Pills are,above all things a blood -making and blood enrich- ing medic ne, that they so speedily cure these trouoles. But you muet get the genu- ine, with the -full name of Dr. Williams' Pink Pill for Pale People printed on the wrapper a wand the box.

The corn on this cob is not unusual, being about the same as any other seed corn reified in 'Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, but it is an extremely solid cob, as hard as oak. Imatators have taken the seed and attempt- ed to raise this corn in various parts of the United States, but have always failed to mature the cobs properly. The average price for cobs ranges from one to two cents a pound. Some Union county farmers have annual incomes of $4,000, derived from corn pr duct alone. Tender Corns.
