Ifo.v a k.mV Learned Kindness.

A certain King in the east was noted
for his cruelty. so that he was much
more dreaded than loved by his people.
One day, after he had been out hunting
and returned, he caused an officer to
publish that he, the King, was sensible
of his faults, and henceforth meant to
rule his subjects with justice and gen
tleness. He kept his promise SO faith
fully that they gave him the surname
of The just. Some years afterward,
one of his favorite ministers took occa-
sion to ask him what had SO soon brought
about that great change in his conduct.
The King with much kindness, thus ex-
planned it:
you may remember I had been out
to hunt just before making the public
promise of better government. One of
my dogs strayed from the pack to chase
a fox, and bit him through the bone Of
the leg. The poor fox went lmping to
his hole, and the dog set Oft at full
speed to rejoin the pack. One of my
footmen wantonly threw stones at the
dog and broke his leg. A runaway
horse, passing by at the time, mistooh
the motion of the mans arm for an at
tempt to catch him, and therefore
kicked out and broke the footman's leg;
and the horse, frightened at the shout
that was raised, dashed off to wood,
slipped his foot into a hole, and got his
leg broken.
Here was chain of retribution L
was forcibly struck at seeing how each
was paid back for his deed OF violence,
and it set me to thinking what load OF
evil I was heaping up that should fall
one day upon my own head. 1t was
this reflection that, by the will OF God,
worked such great and instant change
IN my conduct"
Thus it is in our lives. No one can
DO an unjust OF even foolish action
without suffering, sooner or later, the
pains that surely spring from his folly

An article in mothers magazine is en-
titled, How to Spoil the Baby" Some of
the recipes printed in the magazine are too
outrageously ridiculous for anything. We
don't suppose there is more than one parent
in thousand who wants to spoil the baby;
and even this small number should not be
encouraged in such disreputable business.
One good way to spoil the baby is to give
it q lighted kerosene lamp to play with, but
we don't think it is right to print such re-
cipes.-Drake's Magazine.

4 BIRDS SAYINGS BANK.

In California the woodpecker stores
acorns away. although he never eats
them. He bores several holes, differ
ering slightly in size, at the fall of the
year, inyariable in q pine tree. Then
he finds an acorn, which he adjusts to
one OF the holes prepared for its recep-
ton. But he does not eat the acorn,
for as a rule, he is not q vegetarian.
His object in storing away the acorn
exhibits foresight and knowledge of re-
suits more akin to reason than to in
stinct. The succeeding winter the
acorn remains intact, but, becoming
saturated, is predisposed to decay,
when it is attacked by nlaggots, who
seem to delight in this special food. It
is then that the woodpecker reaps the
harvest his wisdom has provided, at a
time when, the ground being covered
with snow, he would experience diff
Guilty otherwise in obtaining suitable or
palatable food. 1t is a subject Of spec
ulation why the redwood cedar OF the
sugar pine is invariably selected. 1t is
not probable that the insect the wood
pecker is so fond of is found only on
the outside of two trees; but true it is
that in Calaveras, Mariposa, and other
districts of California, trees of this kind
may he frequently seen covered all over
their trunks with acorns, when their is
not an oak tree within several miles.

INCREASING TRADE.

The presence in our harbOr on Satur
in addition to interisland and other yes
sells engaged in the Hawaiian carrying
trade, was the best possible illustration
of the expansion of our commerce. The
phenomenal of late years as compared
with other countries, which are content
to advance step by step with the in
crease of population; but Hawaiian
commerce is increasing by leaps and
bounds This is owing to the largely in
creased production of our sugar planta-
tons, and to the energy and foresight OF
the great commercial firm which now
controls the ocean steamship traffic of
the port. The result is eminently salts
factory to all interests in the Kingdom.
1t insures cheap, certain and rapid trans
portation to and from the Pacific Coast
and the Australian Colonies, bringing
Honolulu into the stream of the world's
trade, and diverting not little of its
profits to our shores. If the sugar and
fruit producers of the Kingdom and the
merchants were compelled to depend
upon ocean tramps and small sailing
vessels to transport their freight, they
would be compelled to pay higher rates
and be infinitely worse served. The
Oceanic Steamship Company has organ
lied steamship service which has be-
come as much certainty in the arrival
and departure of vessels as it is possible
for anything to be that is dependent
upon the elements of nature and the
risks inseparable from steam navigation.
No other community in the world is bet
ter served in this respect than Honolulu ;
few communities are half so we'll served.

THE VOLCANO.

1t will be seen by our correspondents
letter from the Volcano House that Hale
maumau is steadily filling up with liquid
lava, and that all indications point to a
grand display in the not distant future
This Is very important matter for the
country, because it is fact that the set
of tourist travel was diverted from these
Islands of late owing to the disappear
of Kilauea. There is now, however,
more inducements than ever to visit
these Islands. The great central attrac-
ton suffers no diminutiOn from its
sudden and mysterious disappearance
and its equally mysterious return. Hale
maumau is still there to inspire awe by
its wierd grandeur and to battle science
by its periodic ebb and flow. The time
NAV come when the ''hOuse of everIast-
ing fire" will become an unsightly pit,
but that time is not yet. While Nature
destroyed its beautiful creation in New
Zealand, it has dealt kindly by Hawaii
and preserved unimpaired the terrible
and appalling beauty of HaIemaumau.
This fact should be made known all over
America and Europe, to the end that
tourists may seek our shores and enjoy
all the delights of Nature which travel
over these Islands discloses to intelli-
gent observers.
