Punohou Preparatory school.

The Punahou Preparatory School on
Beretania street, at the head of Richards
street, will take new departure in edu-
cational methods. Additional facilities
are now offered for a thorough and sys-
tematic grammar school education by the
enlargement of the course of study and
the engagement of an additional teacher.
There will be two grades in the four
recitation rooms, making eight classes in
all, arranged for an eight years course.
The new primary teacher has had eXpe-
rience in kindergarten methods, and will
make the school-room an attractive place,
and study as delightful as any pastime
for the children who may be put under
her care. The Principal, Miss Hall, has
shown in the past two years her admir-
able fitness not only for teaching in her
own special department, but for the gen
eral supervision and management OF the
work of the school. The other two
teachers come with the highest testimo-
malls of qualifications and OF success in
their special departments.

Chaplain Milburn's prayers are new
Capitol feature and attraction. People are
eager each day to hear what new thing he
will in his inimitable way tell the Lord.
Recently he referred 10 these as the times
"when the masses of men were drifting far
ther and farther from the churches when
educated men were asking; Is life worth
livingg" when men in the market places
and other centres of resort were teaching
with tongue and pen the doctrines of de-
spair, pessimism, agnosticism and atheism /;
when lotteries, gambling houses and grog-
shops are sapping the health and prosperity
of great bodies of the people; when scarce
ly day passed but brought to light some
new evil to crimson the face of the patriots /;
when leaders in great cities were putting
their votes for sale to the highest bidders
and bartering The franchise Of the people
when obscene books and pictures were cor
rupting the Imagination and debauching
the character of children and youth; when
boys were becoming hoodlums and girls
were bought and sold like dumb, driven
cattle in the shambles when people were
building churches to vie with club houses
in cost, show and luxury, where the poor
were never expected to enter; when Divine
charity took the form Of machine and was
administered by proxy, and when our boast
ed civilization was stained with blots as
dark as death"

The CZqrke Courier Of last week notes the
escape from the Berryville Jail Of Walker
Christian, Weasel Jackson and jeff Jackson
all imprisoned for theft. After remarking
upon the ease with which they escaped it
makes the suggestion to prisoner in the
Clarke Jail that g. if be prefers residence
in West Virginia 10 imprisonment in the
penitentiary he may make his selection" Be
cause che rogues have contempt for the
close corporations Of Clarke il no reason 10
suppose that they have a preference for
West Virginia, which is by no means par
adise for rascals. If anybody thinks other
wise let him try it.

Literary Notes.

Many Christians deeply regret the fact
that there is no authentic portrait of their
Master. Others think it better that the
world should not know the exact lineaments
of its Redeemer 1t is certain that this
lack of recognized likeness has given op-
portunity for the highest artistic geniuses
to portray their conception of his appear
ance. But the personality of the painters,
necessarily obtruding itself even into their
ideal Christs, destroys the value of these
pictures for many people. 1t would seem,
however, from Mr.. w. II. Ingersol's article
in the May Hayper's Portraits Of the Sa-
viourp that there probably was an historic
portrait of Jesus known to the early Chris
tlans on which the most ancient pictures
of him were based for they all agree in the
principal characteristics, and point to a
commonly received likeness. Beginning
with these Mr. Ingersoll traces the history
of the subject down to the present Among
the many rare illustrations perhaps the
most curious is copy of the Emerald
Vernicle" portrait, which is supposed to be
the only true portrait of the Saviour. The
original is said to have been carved on an
emerald for Tiberius Cesar, seized by the
Turks at the capture Of Constantinople, and
afterward returned to Christendom rs a
gift to Pope Innocent VIII. from the Turk
ish Emperor for the redemption of his cap
tive brother. A beautiful engraving of Da
Vinci's impressive cartoon, "The Man of
Sorrows" accompanies the article. Two
modern paintings of great power, also given,
vindicate our age (but not our country
from the charge of low artistic ideals.
These are Faith" by E. Armitage, r. A.,
and Head of Christ, by Hughes Merle.
The latter combines a wonderful amount of
refinement, gentleness, and strength. The
present owner obtained it in an odd way.
Late one evening foreigner brought into a
New York art-store a painting which he
was very anxious to sell for cash, being in
financial strait. He would not say where
he got it or how. A wealthy gentleman of
the city who knew good pictures happened
to be in the store, and at once saw that it
was treasure He bought it for trihe,
and carried it home himself, not daring TO
leave it over night. 1t is regarded an ex-
traordinary gem.

The Kanawha Gazette is responsible for
the following. If the ladys luck holds out
she will have rings on her fingers" if she
does not have "bells on her toes"
"a few weeks ago Mrs. f. E. Dryden,
who resides near Buffalo, in Putnam county,
purchased pair Of shoes from merchant
in this city. On arriving at home and
opening the package a gold ring was found
in one Of the shoes. A few days after this
she sent little boy that lives with her to
the store of DR. c. NJ. Pitrat of Buffalo for
a five-cent bar of soap. A few minutes use
of the soap revealed the fact that it also
contained a gold ring. A fortnight after
the first event she bought some turkeys of
farmer living some miles below, and when
cleaning one of them another gold ring was
found in the birds craw."

The Knights of Labor in New York boy
cotted pie woman there because the men
she employed, being contented with their
situations, would not join the union. This
fact being made public by circulars, the
mode by which boycotters give publicity to
their orders, the natural consequence was
that the love Of equal rights and fair play
so increased the popularity Of the woman
that her shop is crowded from morning illt
night, that people who never heard of her
before have become her customers, that
those who do not want her pies and bread
are enclosing her checks for large supplies
to be sent to the hospitals and other charit-
able institutions, and that in order to ac-
commodate her increased trade she has had
20 employ more non union men.

The boycott of Mr. Tenney, the George

Richmond job printers, has it is under
stood, and by no means unnaturally in a
free country, where every. man is at least
supposed to have the right to conduct his
own business, as he, and not rs other peo-
ple probably his enemies, may choose, so
far from diminishing, greatly increased
their business, and made for them life time
customers, who otherwise, in all probabili-
ty, never would have spent cent with them.
The boycott, in a land Of liberty, is two
edged sword, and is therefore a dangerous
instrument, and especially so in such un-
skilful hands as those who WELD it in this
