ICELAND.


4 Name which Has . saggestive Sound
In Hot weather.
Holiday makers who are at . loss
where to 60 to insure . cool spot may.
perhaps, be tempted to cry Iceland. It
is not necessarily cool there. notwith-
standing the refreshing sound of the
name, but it Is good deal less likely to
be hot than Swiss or even Scotch valleys,
and there is . good deal more to see
that would be fresh to the visitor. Nor
is the island BY any means very difficult
to get at. The Danish Royal Mail steam
srs make a monthly voyage from Co
penhagen to Reykjavik, and five of them
run all around the island, as well As
calling on each voyage at Leith. There
il also an English line during the sum-
mer from Leith to Reykjavik. Iceland
which people who do not look at large
maps are in danger of suppOsing it to
be. when they read that the population
does not much exceed that of . third
rate English town. It is possible to
travel from East to West in direct line
for greater distance than from London
to Carlisle. 30 that the island is really of
very respectable dimensions. Nor are
the people, remote as is their dwelling
place from the centres of sweetness and
light, by any means an uncultured race.
They have had . Parliament of their
own-the Arlington now nearly .
thousand years, and they are great deal
better instructed than European popu-
lations generally. The ordinary Cock
ney tourist would hardly find himself at
home among them, but an intelligent
observer, interested in the study of ma
ture and in the ways of isolated COM
munities, might really do much worse
during this coming August than brace
himself up for the winter by week or
two in Iceland.
Fishing and farming are the Iceland
er's principal pursuits, and fishing is
more important, perhaps. than farming.
There are practically no manufactures
in the country and trade is so little devel-
oped that up to last year the island did
not even possess bank, though the
Althing was seriously occupying itself
with the establishment of such an insti-
tuition. Some interesting information
on the Icelandic fisheries is contained
in the last report presented to the For
eign Office by Mr.. Consul Paterson.
The Iceland fisherman's best customers
are not his comparatively near neigh
bors-he has no neighbors at all but the
Greenlanders within 600 miles-but the
Spaniards. A good deal of the fish
caught goes to Copenhagen, but more
to Spain, and Spain gets the pick of the
catches.
Wheat growing is no part of the Ice
land farmers industry. For that the
climate is not warm enough. He breeds
flocks and herds, and during his short
summer is much concerned for the re-
suits of his hay harvest. These, last
year, were not satisfactory in the south
ern part of the island, owing to the oc-
currence of wet weather late in the
summer. A further reduction of live
stock was the consequence of the scare
ity of fodder. In the north, however,
the hay crop was good, and the farming
interest there is fairly prosperous

modistes have purchased much of it at
figures of ten dollars and fifteen dollars

the frocks that they are beginning to get
up for their customers. AS these goods
are narrow, some of them not over
three-eighths of yard in width, the
cost of dress in which they are intro
duced rs vests, revers. cuffs and plast-
rOus must be considerable. Some of
the embroidered and beaded passemen-
terles are in Vandyke points and will
be used for vests with the points meet

Material embroidered on velvet for
crowns is shown at thirty dollars yard,

Much copper color is introduced into
trimmings and iridescent beads will be
very fashionable. The finest jet comes
n the form of birds and flowers, and a
vast quantity of jet is used at this
time. 1t is always Frenchy and stylish

collars that give them a very handsome

bows for hats and bonnets at S2.5O and

inexpensive ribbon is double faced satin
with satin edge. The richest ribbons
are imported for sashes in plush stripes
on ottoman and velvet grounds in dark
shades and also in Roman stripes.
Wooden sashes will be very much used
with dresses of the same material. The
goods are loosely woven and rough
surface like all the fashinable wooleu
materials. They have horizontal stripes
of color and retail at $5.-N. y Star.

He gave an elaborate statement of the ef-

explained the blood disease in its stages
and declared thrt the last assumed the

HARD TIMES IN JAPAN.

In the native papers paragraphs
meet the eye in which whole villages
are reputed to be reduced to desti-
tuition, and the Hochi Shimbun de-
clares that ''the paupers wandering
about Toxic are now numbered by
thousands" OF the sad state of
affairs in the country districts some
idea may be formed from state
ment published in the last issue Of
the Jill Shimpo to the effect that by
recent Investigations the arrivals of
men who have come to the metrop-
oils as jinriskisha coolies, during
the past few months, have reached
5000, which go to swell the redund-
ant number of those engaged in
that precarious occupation for a
livelihood. Additional evidence is
afforded Of the pressure of poverty
by the numbers, far in excess of re-
quirements, offering to emigrate to
Honolulu and to Yesso, which latter,
from the severity and duration of
it's winters, does not recomend itself
to the inhabitants of the main island.

eager to get good look at the
bride. In the church at the head of
the center aisle were three floral
arches, from the apex of one of
which hung a marriage bell of ever
greens and white flowers. Under
this device the couple stood during
the ceremony. At $50 o'clock it
was announced that the wedding
party had arrived, and the organ
struck up wedding march. The
ushers were Messrs. G. Koch, G.
Garstens, r. w. Podmore and o.
Swain; the groomsmen, Mr.. H.
Wilson, Mr.. E. Jones and Mr.. j.
Mcclure and the bride s maids, Miss
Dora Holm, Miss Lizzie Campbell
and Miss Alice Love. The brides
dress was beautiful. The basque
and train (two yards long) were
composed of French corded silk,
cream white. Hanging from her
head was veil of white tulle, with
handsome wreath of orange bios
SONS and white lilacs. She wore a
bunch of flowers at the corsage,
some on the sleeves, and from the
left side of the drapery across the
front of the dress was a string of
beautiful flowers. The drapery
was made of real Breton lace and
the basque was trimmed with the
same. Gloves and slippers were of
white kid. After the ceremony the
bridal couple left the church to hold
a reception at the residence of the
BRIDES mother, Emma street. The
Royal Hawaiian Band was there,
and opposite the house were tents
for the evenings festivities. The
newly-married couple will spend
their honeymoon at Waikiki and
afterwards reside at So Emma street.

plaintiff who claimed that the dis
tress upon which the furniture was
seized was illegal.
IL think the distraint was with
out authority of law. The plaintiff
engaged board and lodging at $50
per month at the Saratoga House.
The bills presented to him so state
his Indebtedness to be. The Act
only authorizes distraint for rent.
2-I think the auctioneer is liable.
He sold the goods after notice that
the seizure was illegal. Upon the
authority of Lord Peterborough in
Hardacre vs. Stewart, 5 Esp, 1903,
where an auctioneer sells goods after
express notice that they do not be-
long to the defendants, he makes
himself quasi principal and sold
that to which his employer had no
title. He had possession Of the
goods; they were in his warehouse
and he sold and delivered them to
the purchasers. This was CONVEX
sion in law.
3-As to the value of the furni-
ture, I think there should be an
abatement from their value when

DRINK DIs0uALlFIes.

The disposition of all employers
to dispense with men who drink to
excess when they can get sober ones
is on the increase. Twenty years
ago the newspapers of all large cities
were frequently the nests and roost-
ing places of lot of ''hard citi-
zens." They are banished now. An
interceder for discharged drunkard
from morning paper recently
begged the editor to remember that
s'Jim has wife and two children to
support" SIT so happens" re-
piled the editor, "that the sober
man whom have put in Jim's place
has a wife and four children. 1t
should always be remembered that
every expulsion of hummer leaves
position for q decent man. We
don't run an inebriate asylum or a
moral reformatory." That sound
principle is pervading all trades,
professions and occupations. slack

nearly two hours" The Chronicle:
"The lecturer gave glowing des-
cription of the historical points of
interest, the ruined castles and their
legends, the hesh-creeping horrors
of the underground dungeons, and
the implements of torture stored in
them, and held his hearers SPELL

A FINE BUILDING.

A fine addition has been made to
the mercantile architecture of the
city by Mr.. Chas. j. Fishel. This
new building, corner of Fort and
Hotel streets, is about completed.
The building is of brick covered
with cement, and stands on the site
of the store burned Jan. 81 last; is
two stories high, fronting 40 feet on
Fort, and 65 feet on Hotel street.
The inside is elegantly finished, and
fitted up. Each of the windows on
the lower fiat consists of a single
piece of ten foot plate glass, which,
the proprietor informed our reporter,
is the largest plate in the city. The
show glasses are well arranged so
as to exhibit the goods with proper
effect and at the same time leave
plenty room for customers and sales
men to move about. For some two
weeks past Mr.. Fishel and his as
sistants have been engaged in I'M
packing and, arranging their new
stock. The displays of staple and
fancy goods are elaborate and ex-
tensive. The millinery department
is in the upper fiat and is reached
by an easy stairway. Everything
in the millinery line to please the
most artistic fancy can be seen here.
A couple of large show cases on
this floor have specially beautiful
spread Of silk and velvet flowers,
and other fine specimens of the mil
liners handiwork. The lady in
charge of this department shows an
exquisitely worked plush embroi.
dered lambrequin of her own max.
ing, very pretty article. The
whole establishment will be open tc
the inspection of the public this
evening, when promenade band
concert will be given. Sales viii
not commence, however, until to
morrow. We congratulate Mr.
Fishel ON his new establishment an(
wish him long and successful
business career.
