LOUe and Smoke.

Parents with marriagcable daughters
wonder why it is that their Angelina
and Seraphina are wasting their sweet
ness on the desert air, when those hor-
rid Scroggins girls (and such a crowd
as there is Of them) have all been hap
PLY mated. Ah sharp old Scroggins
he knows why it is. He has made it a
point all his life to live in house
where the chimneys and fre-places
worked in harmony, and the conse-
quence has been that the available
young man who dropped in for the
evening found the fire SO cheerful that
he called again and again, until at last
he concluded that he must have a fire
of his own just like it, and of course
must have Miss Scroggins to share it
with him. But poor Angelina, though
she has had beaux without number, she
has also had smoky fireplace to con-
tend with, and the invariable result has
been to scare the young man off after
one evenings experience. Let anxious
parents examine the fire-places, and the
chances are ten to one that there will be
found the secret of their daughter
dangerous proximity to spinsterdom.

ABOUT STARS.

: Alpha Centaurii, the leading star in
the constellation of the Centaur, is the
nearest star to the earth, so far as
known. Its distance is usually placed
at from 2o,ooo,0oo, 100000 to 29,ooo,-
OO0,OO0,000 miles from the earth. A
star called Sixty-one Cygni is classed
as second in distance, being put at a.
$50, 999, 000,0 900 miles distance from our
globe. Most Of the stars, however, are
millions Of times further away from us
than these. Light travels about 1856, 900
miles in every second of time, and vet
with this inconceivably rapid velocity
it would take light about twelve years
to traverse the space separating us
from that star. From the greater por-
ton of the stars light would be many
centuries in reaching us. That is to
say, in these particular instances the
stars which we see are not the stars as
they exist tonight, but as they ex-
listed before Columbus sailed on his
voyage of discovery, or even before the
creation of Adam.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

The Latest Craze.

"Have you heard of the latest racket
of our society swells?" said friend OF
mine the other day, who is always
posted in these matters. Society, you
know, is too complicated thing for me
to study on my own account, and I al
ways fall back on this young man for
the latest society gossip.
I said no, had not.
ooh, it is great thing, you know, u
said he. II am astonished that YOU
have not heard of the crazy patchwork
scheme"
II have heard of crazy patchwork.
My wife has been through that fever,
but she has recovered after long ill
ness. 1 have not heard of anything
new"
"Oh, this is great scheme" said he.
ut is silk-handkerchief scheme. You
see, young man buys an assortment
of silk handkerchiefs of different colors.
Silk neckties will do as we'll. These
are sliced up into irregular sections
and furnished the young lady who has
got the disease. This young lady
sufferer gets all the young lady friends
of the young gentleman to furnish

INSANITY md CItIHE

The relation between INSANITY
and crime is one both of cause and
of effect. Esquirol has shown an in
crease Of insanity and suicides at each
outbreak of the French rev Jon.
Lumier declares that the excitcments of
1870 and 1871 were the more or less in
direct causes of 100 cases of insanity.
This simply means that the same NOR
bid element, tending to pronounced
criminality in another, is brought to
the front by the common cause. Very
frequently, too, both tendencies can be
seen i'll the same individuals. Marat,
for example, had attacks of maniacal ex-
altation, and q passion for continually
scribbling He had q sloping forehead,
was prognathous, had prominent Jaw
and high cheek bones, and a hagcard
eye, all Of which correspond closely
with the insane type of face. Later
his delusion of ambition changed into
one of persecution and homicidal mono
mania. DIR. Lombroso cites case after
case, all telling the same story. He in
cludes Gitteau in this list, and agrees
with the opinion of an italian alienist
that his trial was simply "scandalous. /"
The real place for such beings is a
much-needed institution, an asylum for
insane criminals. Science.

WELL" said l, II should think it
would be novelty. Are there many
people at this business?"
ooh, yes" said he, II know several

me, you ought to see that hair!"
l told him that did not understand
how that would go with the recent So
ciety craze for short hair. (Which
looks the prettiest-I mean, what color
hair looks the prettiest in the mono
grams?"
ooh, red hair makes the pretticst mon
ogram, said my esthetic friend. "Take
girl with coarse, red hair, and work
it on ground which will bring that
color out to the best advantage, and it
looks right pretty, you know"
"Why, do they carry this esthetic
craze to that extent?"
cob, yes" said he, "and the particu-
lar color of the hair has everything in
the world to do with the color of the
handkerchief on which the monogram
is to be placed. You must have the
right color, you know, OF else it would
not look we'll"

the meantime, and when I went to
make up my crazy-quilt OF silk hand
kerchiefs, would consult him.

A gray-haired man stopped in fro
Of a house in Dakota town and a
dressed young man in the yard:
II don't suppose you know me?"
mo, I think not.
IT was very we'll acquainted wi
your father"
"Indeed?"
"Yes, I saw him every day for lo'
time"
"Were you brought up down whe
he came from?"
"No."
Acquainted with him while he liv
in Iowa?"
"Never saw him there"
did you know him after he came
this place."
IT was never in this town before.
MAY I ask you, then, when it "
you associated with him so long?"

No FACULTY is developed, no quail

No FACULTY is developed, no quality
is acquired, no power is gained, except
by constant exercise. If we desire our
young people to grow up into valuable
men and women, we must accustom
them gradually, but steadily, to assume
responsibility to exert their will and
force Of character, to give out as we'll
as to take in, to act as we'll as to learn.
Then life will be succession of steps
naturally following each other, each of
which will prepare the way easily and
thoroughly for the next, and each of
which will bring new light, broader
views, and higher abilities to bear upon
increasing duties and responsibilities as
they arise.

provide for the payment of salaries, ex-

items not mentioned in the bill that ought
TO be provided for.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson said there
was nothing else provided for except what
was in the bill. 1t was repetition OF a
bill presented and passed at the session of
1884
Mr.. Dickey moved that it be referred TO
the Judiciary Committee 1t should not
be passed hastily, and there might be some
items left out.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson thought
such motion was unnecessary, as the bill
fully sets forth its object
Mr. Thurston considered it an eminent

it was in good shape. He moved it be re-
ferred to the Finance Committee.

motion included instructions to the COM

Mr.. Hayselden said that as the majority
of the Finance Committee could not be
trusted, he moved that the motion include
such instruction, or else they would have
to wait for a minority report.
Mr.. AhOlO said that as the Finance Com
mittee was incomplete he would therefore
move it be referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee.

The Tariff Caucus.

WASHINGTON, June 21st.-About 100 of
.the Democratic Representatives who
voted for the consideration of the Nor
rison tariff bill assembled in the hall OF
the House tonight. Mr. Morrison
moved that the tariff reform Democrats
select one member from each State TO
constitute committee which shall con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY OF issuing an adj
dress to the country, explaining the posi-
ton OF that element, the committee to
report to another conference to be held
later an the present month. This motion
gave rise to considerable discussion,
mostly OF friendly nature. The resolu-
ton was finally adonted.
1t can be stated on the best authority
that the Democratic leaders regard last
Thursdays vote on the Morrison bill as
finally defeating any tariff legislation
during the remainder of the session, and
that any attempt that may he made to
again call up the bill will be only for the
purpose of more strongly emphasizing
the principles Of the tariff reformers.

single month, and receive and land pas
sengers and cargo, he would have been
an object of ridicule. Not only would
his prediction have come true, however,
but ne might safely have gone further
and anticipated the time when the re-
quirements Of our foreign trade would de-
mand a weekly instead of a bi-monthly
steamer to and from the Coast. This is
manifestly what is before US in the not
distant future; and it will be independ-
ent of the extra accommodation pro-
vided by the steamships on the Austria
Ian and New Zealand mail service.
Occasional steamships arriving at this
port do not come into our calculation, as
they are not regularly engaged in the
Islands trade We refer exclusively to
the steamships of the Oceanic Company
and one of the Union line, for all OF
which Messrs. VIM. q. Irwin q Co. are
agents. The extra. vessels which seek
our port are additional evidence Of the
accuracy of our forecast of the CONNER
cial future of Honolulu. The advantage
of this development of trade by steam
ship traffic identified with the Kingdom
cannot possibly be over-estimated. 1t
is the motive power of business. 1t
stimulates production, employs labor
and circulates money freely in the COM
munity; and it is not going too far to
say that without its breezy and invigOr-
ating influence Honolulu would be a
stagnant pool of commercial inactivity
to-day. Yet there are members of this
community who would fain go back to
the old sleepy schooner times OF
exorbitant interest and enormous
profits, and who lose no oppor-
tunity of attacking the founder OF
the Oceanic Company and other great
enterprises for the development OF the
resources and trade of the Kingdom, be-
cause he is an innovator, and tramples
upon their business traditions. But he
has served the public well, and the peO-
pie as whole will stand by him. Col
Spreckels is building up the Kingdom,
he is increasing the nation by adding tc
it's wealth and commercial influence
and the people at large are not slow to
perceive this fact, and to discriminate
between him and his assailants in the
press, in the Legislature, and in the mart.
