that have been dropped in the new purchases, and so
we've marked all goods coming under these various
descriptions at figures so low that thrifty women will
be glad to get a hold of as much as their means will
allow. No undesirable weave or styles are included
in any of the lots offered, but chauges iu the markets

A NEW ZEALAND VESUVIUS.
The Whole Aspect of the Country
Changed in Six Hours.
From tho Windsor Mt.iralue.
The xxhltc terraces of Rotomaliana
rose up In a seiies of twenty pla foims
in the foim of a gigantic stall wax-.
Each terrace xxas perfectly huiizontul
nnd of dazzling whltness. Pie top
step was veitlcally eighty feet above
the bae and sat MO feet bae.j. Fiom
every platfoim bubbles copious Uouds
of steam. A stteam of boiling water
continually flowed from the gey.v s.
and as it fell sloixly fiom tier to tier
the silicates xvith xxhlch the xvnter w 1"
heavily charged became deposited, on
its exposure to the all, in wonderlul
larc-woik designs of infinite va-i-:y
and of dazzling puilty and xx hit-mess
xvere formed. Not far fiom the white
ten ace xvas another termed the "Pink
Terrace," xxhere, oxxlng to some coloi
ing substance in the siliclous xvateis
falling from tho gejseis, the deposits
xvere of a delicate pink hue, fiom
xxhlch xxas derixed the name "Pink
Terrace."
Unfoi tunately New Zealand no long
er possesses this unique spectacle, for
the terraces nie no more. The various
agencies of nature which originally
built up such cmlous forms served In
turn to destroy them. M, Falcon'-r
glxes a graphic descilption of the
event. He xxas residing at that time
about forty miles distant from Tara
xx era. In 1SSK, on Juno 10, the nlgnt
xvas clear and calm. Heavy rumbling
sounds like distant rolls of thunder
filled the air, but theie xvas no veiy
gieat nlarm. Tho net day daxvned
dull and gloomy. About 7.30 o'clock
the morning grexv daiker and light
giey ash, xeiy fine, began to fall. He
sas that, although they surmised an
eruption was taking place In the Hot
Lake dlstiict, theie was 110 definite tid
ings to that effect, so that he could
only xx alt to sec what would happen.
By the aid of a lantern lie succeeded
in gi oping his way to the telegraph
office, and theie he learned that a ser
ious disturbance xxas taking place at
Taraxxera and Rotomaliana. Atiout 11
o'clock the d.uknos lifted, AH lound
the giound xus covcied xvith a thin,
filmy v1" of "ne ns,h to tne depth of
half nit inch, and it xxas afterward
found that the Intense daikness xxas
caused by a thick cloud of dust blown
out by the volcano to ,a height so tte
mendous that It passed abtf.e Tauran
ga and dlspeised oxer the countiy
some miles away.
The manifestation xxas accompanied
by intense cold, the thermometer 1
glsterlng live degrees of fiost. This
is explained by the fact that tho col
umns of steam as they came hissing
out of the ctateis expanded as they
ascended and ubsmbed their oxxn heat,
xxhlch became latent, so thxt the h'.it
was abstiacted from exetythln.-; rear,
A day 01 txvn later the government
geologist ai rived at Tauranga, and pie
parations to Inspect the scat of the
disaster were pushed forxvard rapidly.
On the fourth day nfter tho eruption,
the party arrived at Wairna, a Maori
village. There was scaicely a vestige
of the settlement to be seen, the xvliole
village having been ctushed beneath
volcanic lava, and tho charred and bat
tered remains of tho little villago
church and other buildings protruded
above the sin face of tho deposit, xvhlch
at first measuied four feet in thick
ness, but afterward settled down to
half that depth. One oung English
man xxas killed, as xx ell as the Manils
xxho lived in the district and exacted
tolls from vlsitois to the Hot Lakes.
Tho scene was the xxlldest Imaginable,
The air rushed oxer the land with cy
clonic fuiy, uprooting, tenting and
breaking trees that had surxlved the
hall of locks, leaving here and there
a gnarled and Jagged trunk, denude I
of brandies and stripped ot its bark.

Rotomahana, As they appioachcd the
hot lakes, huge cracks, extending hun
dreds of yards in length and about
a foot in xxidth, wcro seen in all direc
tions; The scene xvas one of strange
grandeur of absolute desolation. The
upheaval of nature had bloxxn the xxon
dcrful ten aces to utoms; steam xxas
ilslng in dense clouds ftom one end of
the area to the other, a distance of
about nine miles. Rotomahana lake
was a yawning caldron fiom xxhich
iose a majestic column of steam. The
gi omul was completely stripped of veg
etation nnd covered xvith lax a from
the mountain. The lava xx-as reduced
to the comistency of Hour, so that the
exploieis sanv In it nearlv to their
knees. Thus In the space of time xxas
Noith Island suddenly shorn ot Its
most peculiar natuial features. In sl
horns the xvhole aspect of the coun
try xxas changed, and xxhut xxas one
of the most beautiful spots In the
xxorld xvas transformed into a bairen
countiy raipeted In lava and covered
xxith debris. The geysers, however,
still abound In piofusion, and it is
possible In time other tei races may Da
formed.

"I sec that they've had another mud
shower somexxhere In Oklahoma," ob-serx-cd
the man in the crash suit as he
lald'doxxn the paper.
"Huh," ejaculated tho man who had
just paid for the lound, "another on5
of those newspaper lies. Mud shoxveis,
red snow-storms, nirshlps. Kissing
bugs: they're all the same, nothing
but fakes, sir! Oxoixxrought Imagina
tion of some country correspondent
produced by a too steady diet of slicing
liquor and a high tenipeiatuie. Mud
shower! Huh!"
"Well," responded tho man fiom
Buffalo, affably, "there ate a good
many lies told In the papers nowadays,
but It's haul to point 'em out xxith cei
talnty. Now 1 once xxltnessed a sight,
gentlemen, that outdid anything ever
desciibtd in the xxay of freak showers.
It was out in Sitting Bull, Wyo , about
txxelx'e yeais ago. I xxas running a
ihug store theie; had a full assortment
of lioise liniments, lheumatlsm reme
dies and plug tobacco, and xxas taking
In fiom 60 i cuts to 80 cents a day.
Well, one afternoon I xxas standing
in the doorway, keeping a lookout for
a man xxho oxxed me for a tin of axle
grease, xxhen all of a sudden it began
to blow. Wnsn't anything alarming,
tou understand, Just a plain bioxv: no
need to get into the celler.
"Presently something flutteied doxxn
onto the sidexxalk tight at my feet, It
xxas kind of gieen, and axx-oke tender
recollections In my hi east: and, xxcll,
it took me about one-thousandth pait
of a second to pick it up. Gentlemen,
it was a nice, cilsp $:0 bill!"
Tlie man fmm Buffalo paused,
crooked hi elbow, elexated his chin
and wiped his mustache dieamlly on
his sleexe,
"I looked up and down the stieet," he
continued. "Theie xxas no one In sight.
1 put that bill in my pocket and looked
aiound foi moic. And I found them.
Inside of a half minute the air was full
of them. They blew In fiom the east
like a Hock of gieen spauows. 1 filled
my pockets until they wouldn't hold
any 111111 e, and then I win into the stoie
and got tin 00 soap boxes and a keg.
By that time the stieet tor tin op or
four blocks was ankle deep in money,
and extiy clod-blasted man, woman
and child In Sitting Hull xxas out hut
vesting. "Well, gentlemen, I staked oft 1
claim xxith foui bottles of cod llxei oil
and staed up until 1! o'clock in tho
11101 ning dealing it up xxith a h o'
lake, And xxln.11 I went to sleep It
xxas with the cheetlng knowledge that
I xxas one of the 1 Idlest men In tin
xx 01 Id. Exery one of tho.so bills xxas .1
biand-new, ciisp $50 gold cettlllcate,
signed, sealed and dellxered at t!n
door, gentlemen.
"The next day, xxhen every one had
their money put axxay in trunks, boxes
and gunnysacks, they began to wonder
what It meant, Theie xvcro lots of
theories presented, as you may Imaglnn
but none of them proved correct. But
theie xx ns the money, piled high on
every door stoop. One man xvent crazy
because he couldn't find out how much
he was woith: got a different total
oxei y count. As for me, I Just counted
me snap boxful and estimated the bal
ance; I had about $1,000,000."
"And then V" asked the man In U10
crash suit, ns he sighed and drained
his glass to tin very last bit of lemon
peel,
"It was all explained later, gentle
men, Theie had been a cyclone over in
South Dakota, and a countetfeltei's
house had been leveled to the giound.
He lost the proceeds of foui yeais of
honest toll."
"Did did you-?"
"Gentlemen, a seiiet set vice ofllcer
Willi fnuiteen deputies todu into tow 11
one day and arretted eveiy last lesi
dent for passing countei felt money. Re.
cause of tho unusual circumstances wo
got off with a lino of $.M each. Talk
about mud shoxveis, gentlemen!"
