New Zealand Is Maoriland, the home of a most interesting race. About one thousand years ago there lived on the isle Hanalki the forefathers of the Maori. One of their priests, Te Kupe, relates a writer In the Mississippi Blaetter, had offended the chief, and to prevent his being killed his friends sent him, provided with provisions enough to last some time, adrift over the sea in a canoe. Home and friends he would never see again, he thought, and by his people lie was mourned as one dead. To the Joy of the islanders he returned after 12 months, giving them a glowing description of the wonderful land he liad discovered. His information caused a stirring agita tion, and In a short time seven canoes were fitted out by tin* natives to sail to tlic land of promise and settle there. » Te Kupe was leading in the first canoe across the wide sea, and on their landing, to honor him, called It “ Acteoroa” — New Zealand. “ The seed of our race comes from Hanrulki,” said a missionary, and there can be no doubt about the ori ginal dwelling place, ami that the present Maoris are the descendants of those who sailed centuries ago from Hanraiki.
