TATOOED WOMEN OF THE ASSOUAN TRIBE ON THE NILE. The London correspondent of the New Zealand Times says:—"Genera' Robley, the we]'known authority upon Maori arts, sends me a sketch that he made of the Assouan Villagernow on view themselves at Earl's Court. The sketch shows that the married women of this tribe far up the Nile are tatooed in a manner remarkably similar to that in whach the Maori women used to be tatooed, namely on the lips and chin, and now and again on the forehead. I am trying to persuade General Robley to follow up this clue, and at the same time to take in hand a comparative study of the tatooing of all primitive races. The results might probably be surprising in the dominion of ethnography. I forgot to mention that General Robley has found on some of the earlier Egyptian mummies certain ornamental designs which have hitherto been considered purely Egyptian, but he finds that they are identical with some of the most ancient Maori patterns."

FOUR HORSES KILLED BY LIGHTNING AT POMAHAKA DOWNS. At Pomahaka Downs on December 3, a team of horses belonging to Mr John Heriott had just been unyoked, when a thunderstorm came on, and four of them were struck dead by lightning. The fifth horse, which was a short distance behind the others, escaped the fall force of the shock, and was only slightly stunned. Mr Heriott is seen ftanding at the head of the horse.
