The New Zealand Graphic Christinas Number, always an excellent shilling's worth, excels this year, ~we think, all its previous issues. The cover is adorned with a daintily cinted design, the leading feature ol which is a Maori bellewith a sprig of the beautiful manuka, or "tea-tree" blossom. \. dainty myrtle-like shrub, its very profusion causes it lo be slighted — as an exotic, it would be prized. An original idea is the supplement, three feet long and fourteen inches wide, \vhich gives a pictured map of the thermal region of the North. Island. Another supplement presents a fine view, in tints, of the loftiest peak in the Southern Alps. Its beautiful native name, "Aorangi," is not given. It is quite time that "Egmont" and "Cook" were superseded in favour of the ancient and appropriate names of "Taranaki" nnd "Aorarrgi. ' In t.be body of the magazine ire have views in profusion of the beauty spots of both islands, appropriately grouped under such titles as "Shining Lakes and Silent Shores." There are alpine and subtropical views, virgin snow-peaks, and wonderful glens of tree-ferns, palmlilies and lianas, and we note a new photograph of the great Sutherland Falls. Views of cities are followed by peeps of tho wild regions through which some of our inland railway lines pass; "Rivers of New Zealand" show great cataracts and long reaches of deep still waters mirroring immemorial forests, and two pages of impressive view*, largo ?nd email, show gigantic volumes of dark vapour* ascending from tho volcano Ngauruhoe, now in a atate of unusual activity. Scenes «f rural and Maori life ate depicted ; children diapdrtinc themselves on ocean beache», and glimpses are given of our lovely native llora. It is an ideal souvenir number. v / The foreman carpenter of the Wei- | lington Education Board, Mr. Godfrey i Powell, has been granted six months' J leave of absence.
