Supreme Court.

At Neutrality-suspicious. PRESTON, !.
WEDNESDAY, December LIST.
Bankruptcy OF Jacob Lyons. Mr.. X.
r. Bickerton for petitioner. Ordered
that he be adjudged bankrupt on his
own petition, and that Thursday, Janu-
airy 18th, be set for proof OF claims and
election of assignee. The bankrupt has
been carrying OH business in Honolulu
as anauctioneer. His resources are stated
at s., $50 OF, and his liabilities at &c.
637 81, mostly on cOnsignments from
San Francisco firms. The only creditor
of any magnitude in Honolulu is
George Houghtailing, to the extent OF
81 900. Goods to the value OF s., $40 10,
the property OF consignees, have been
taken possession of by the Marshal.
BEFORE JUDD, {. j.
In the estate of J. NJ Daigle, deceased.
Admeasurement of dover. Mr.. w. \.
Whiting for the administrator, Messrs.
Kinney q Peterson for the widow. The
report of the Master is objected to by
counsel for the widow on the ground that
on the omputation made the rate OF in
terest & per cent is too low, and the eX-
pectancy of life go years. too short. His
Honor expressed the opinion that the
rate OF interest was about right. The
statistics of business in this country
show that we are exporting considerably
beyond our imports and thus bringing
surplus capital here which seeks invest
ment. Though small loans can now be
effected at 10 and perhaps y per cent
per annum upon real estate security,
they are generally made with the eX-
pectation that the mortgage will be fore
closed If our commercial prosperity
continue the rate of interest must fall
lower and lower, and for the extended
period he much doubted whether more
than per cent would be realized. The
expectancy of the life of the widow, who
is but 18 years of age, was, in his opinion,
too short at 80 years. The expectancy
of life at Is is, according to the 'com-
bined experience tables of mortality"
1888 years 40 years would be about
right in this country. A fresh compu-
tation having been made, His Honor
confirmed the report as amended, and
awarded the widow the sum of $40 %
as the present worth of her dover in the
estate.

Gninr to Omit Smoking.

Il am going to quit smoking cigarettes, - said
a young man who has led more than one ger
man in St Paul. What's the matter." 1

cause it's a vile habit that is going TO carry
me down to an early grave, anything of
that sort. One placed me, or rather young
lady, III Il very embarrassing position. There
is a certain charming young lady on st. An
thony hill whom I should like very mEch to
make my wife, and l know she feels as l do
But l am not yet able to support a wife, so
have never said a word to the young lady's
parents.
Well, the other evening she and TOOK
stroll 1t was about $3.50 when we returned
to the house, so did not go in. We stood
chatting few mCments, and / lighted q
cigarette. When she went into the house l,
of course, kissed her goodnight Well, with
out giving it a thought she went in, babe her
mother goodnight, and kissed her also. The
old lady Immediately detected the smell of the
cigarette on her daughters lips, and que>-
toned her about it. The poor girl had either
to acknowledge that | kissed her or that ~he
smoked a cigarette. When the young la :
told ME about it l had not the courage to ask
her what course she chose. Now you know

InIes Tavernier.s volcano.

Jules Tavernier, the artist, is now at
work putting up his panorama OF the
Volcano. On the floor above Gonsalves'
store, on Queen street, he has arranged
his canvas in large circle. Walking in
through a small opening one reaches
small platform in the center, and then
looking about, one seems to be in the
very midst of the Volcano. Anyone
who has ever seen Mr.. Tavernier's Vol
canO pictures will form some faint idea
of the mastery way this painter can de-
pct living fire But of the effect of this
panorama the only thing that can be
said is that it is startling. On all sides
rises the old walls OF Kilauea; on the
left, seemingly in the distance, is the
Volcano House, with the long stretch of
broken lava growing more rugged and
fiery as it apparently nears the specta-
tor The effect of the early dawn is
weird and unearthly in contrast to the
fiery lava of the foreground.
Further on to the right is a break in
distant hills, showing Il charming view
OF the open sea, blue and peaceful, with
a few flecks of white sails on its I'M
ruftled surface. On to the right is a
magnificent display of the erup-
ton OF Halemaumau - molten
glow OF living fire. Further
to the right is Mauna Loa, tipped with a
delicate glow from the rising sun. Fur

view of the whole effect OF the crater.
seen from the very verge of Halemau-

Words fail TO describe such scene.
Mr.. Tavernier hopes to have it com
pleted and open to the public by the end
Of the week. The whole effect will be
made more realistic by the introduction
OF real lava in the foreground.

HOW a woman Reads the Paper.

According to Gertrude Garrison, this ]
how she does it: She takes it up huTriedlY

she We're hunting some particular thing, la
she is not. She is merely taking in the o..
scure paragraphs, which, she believes, wer,
put in the out-of- the-way places for the sake
of keeping her from seeing them. As she
finishes each one her countenance brighten
with the comfortable reflection that she haa
outwitted the editor and the whole race of
men, for she cheriSheS a belief that news
papers are the enemies of her sex, and editors
her chief OppressOrs. She never reads the
headlines, and the huge telegraph lines she
never sees. She is greedy for local news and
devours it with the keenest relish. Marriages
and deaths are always interesting reading to
her, and advertisements are exciting and
stimulating. She cares but little for printed
Jokes unless they reflect ridicule upon the
men, and then she delights in them and never
forgets them. She pays particular attention
to anything inclOsed in quotation marks and
considers it rather better authority than any
thing first handed.
The columns in which the editor airs his
opinions, in loaded hifalutin, she rarely reads.
Views are of no Importance in her estimation,
but facts are everything She generally
reads the poetry She doesn't always care for
it, but makes practice of reading it, because
she thinks she ought TO. She reads Stories
and sketches and paragraphs, indiscrimi-
nately, and believes every word of them.
Finally, after she has read all she intends to,
she lays the paper down with an air Of disap
pointment and a Neutrality-suspicious. gesture
which says very plainly that she thinks all
newspapers miserable failures, but is certain
that if she had a chance she could make the
only perfect newspaper the world has ever
seen.-New York Letter.

Children Praying to Jupiter.

Who can tell what ideas children of a ten
der age acquire from what they read! Re-
Gently a mother saw her two children, aged
respectively and s years, kneeling in the
middle of the grass plot, with faces uplifted,
hands clasped, and lips moving evidently in
prayer Curious as to their petitions, she
drew near unseen, and overheard the follow
ing; "Oh! Jupiter, we pray thee ripen the
grapes and send us flowers" This was said
in unison. The younger then added: "Jupi-
ter, send the flowers to-day, just as many as
you can" The older took up the petition,
saying: "Ripen the grapes tomorrow, for we
need them very much" Horrified at this
pagan proceeding the mother exclaimed:
children, where did you ever hear of pray
ing to JUPITER" "Oh, we read it in -Hsops
fables, and if people prayed to Jupiter then
why cannot we pray to him now! We want
grapes and flowers now, so we have been
praying to Jupiter for some time, 50 that he
will be sure to hear us and give us what we
want New York Commercial Advertiser.

Dakota Editor or Visiting.

The mother-in-law is a valuable institution
out west. A Dakota editor made the follow
ing statement in his paper last week: Times
being rather hard, we are going to take Cur
wife to the home of our mother-in-law next
week for short visit, and we viii give our
readers little vacation by not issuing any
paper. They won't lose much, for there is
little news going just now, and we print this
week an editorial on the tariff which would
have appeared next week The only thing
we have had to leave out on this account is
Bill Jones advertisement about u farm for
sale; but that is of no consequence, as he
hasn't paid anything for it yet. Brethren,
white paper is too blamed dear to fool it away
when our mother-in-law will keep us a week
for nothing. Exchange.

THE TURN OF THE TIDE.

The harbor lights are dim with smoke
Which hangs about the under sky,
And wraps the simple fiSherfolk
In lurid mist as they go by.
Along the shore the wind blows free,
Keen twilight kisses the wan sea
Far out; steer thither, watch with me
The tender stars come out on high.
The sky is deepening overhead;
The sails flap loose; the wind has died;
The water laps the boat like lead;
Faint ripples plash against the side,
And simmer with unearthly light,
The harbOr lamps are out Of sight;
We drift into a StarlesS night
Together on the ebbing tide.
How still-hOw Strange-the tide is slack,
We eddy rOUnd-we drift no more.
What swell is this which sweeps us back
To where the gathering breakers roar
About the pale, unlighted land?
Can any tell if we shall stand
Safe in the morning hald in hand
Upon the steep and rock-bound shore?
