Wise Sayings.

| Mustard improves lobster but
ruins a chicken salad
| A good digestion il more to be de
sired than great riches.
| 1t is brutal to drench an oyster
with vinegar or pepper sauce.
He is fool who INDUCES to excess
either in eating or drinking.
Peace at dinnertable assists di-
gestion, angry words stir up bile.
The tinkle of the dinner-bell is
pleasanter sound than the blare of
the trumpet.
Praise your housekeeper for her
successful dishes and regard her
failures leniently.
Never accept the invitation Of
man to take "pot luck" with him.
He degrades the name of dinner,
and, also insults you.
Nature is great physician.
Don't be afraid to trust her; she
looks carefully after the interest of
her patients stomach.
Let an invalid have whatever he
calls for to eat 1t is not he who
Graves it, but Nature, and she will
not permit him to eat to excess.
In the progress Of civilization the
frying-pan disappeared with the adj
vent of the grid-iron which in turn
has been superseded by the wire
broiler.
A drop or two Of lemon.juice and
dash of cayenne on an oyster may
be tolerated, but it is best eaten d.
rectly from the shell Favored with
its own juice.
A dyspeptic has no right to dine
among civilized beings. He should
take a sea voyage or SO into the will

the Baptist, on locusts and wild
honey.

One of the operators of the Chica-
so Board Of Trade was married a
short time ago, and, Of course, the
first time he appeared on the Board
after his honeymoon he was subjected
to many congratulations and much
good-natured bantering. One of his
friends after congratulating him sud-
denly reached over and took long
brown hair from his shoulder.
Looks bad in married man, Tick
er," he exclaimed, holding it up to
the light,
"Oh that's all right" replied Tick
or smiling "it's my wife's.'
mo, no that won't do" respond
ed the friend "your wife's hair is
darker than that"
This made Ticker trife angry,
and he exclaimed excitedIy:

well, you certainly ought to, said
the friend gazing intedtly at it. But

John Morley
Nobody can be sure that he has
clear ideas on subject until he has
tried TO put them down on piece of
paper in independent words Of his
own. 1t is an excellent plan, too,
when you have read a good book to
sit down and write short abstract of
what you can remember Of it. 1t is
still better plan, if you can make
up your mind to slight extra labor
to do what Lord Stafford and Glib.
bon and Daniel Webster did. After
glancing over the subject, title or de-
sign of a book, these eminent men
would take a pen and write roughly
what questions they expected to
find answered in it, what difficulties
solved, what kind of information inn
parted. Such practices keep us
from reading with the eye only gid
ing vaguely over the page and they
help us to place our new acquisi.
tions in relation with what we knew
before. 1t is almost always worth
while to read o thing twice over to
make sure that nothing has been
missed or dropped on the way, or
wrongly conceived or interpreted
And If the subject be serious is often
well to let an interval elapse. Ideas
relations, statements offacts are not
to be taken by storm. We have to
steep them in the mind, in the hope
of thus extracting their utmost es-
sence and significance, II one let's
an interval pass, and then returns,
it is surprising how clear and ripe
that has become which, when we left
it, seemed crude, obscure, full of
perplexity.
All this takes trouble, no doubt,
but thenit will not do to deal with
ideas that we find in books or else
where as a certain bird does with its
eggs-leave them in the sand for
the sun to hatch and chance to rear.
People who follow this plan possess
nothing better than ideas halfhatsh-
ed and convictions reared by acct.
dent. They are like a man who
should pace up and down the world
in the delusion that he is clad in
sumptuous robes of purple and vel
vet, when in truth he is only half
covered by the rags and tatters Of
other peoples cast-off clothes.

The prospects of the fall markets
for pork are good It looks more
and more as though the Western
farmer will make the most morey
out of his pork who starts early in
the season. Pork marketed before
the cold weather generally COM
mands the best price.
Farmers must study economy in
hog raising and everything else, and
look for their profit in reduced cost
rather than in high prices; and there
is no cheaper and better way ofrais-
ing pork than by making free use of
green food.
Good judges claim that hog or
steer that will fatten well and in
crease rapidly should be as nearly
square in front and behind as posi-.
bic. While this rule may not alone
be true index ofquality, yet, taken
in connection with otherindications
It may assist in arriving at know
ledge of the value of the animal
judged.
The losses of swine from disease
are usually much greater from mid
summer until winter than at any
other season. This is undoubtedly
due largely to the neglect to furnish
good water A worse evil stills the
neglect to keep the animals from i'm
pure water. All stagnant pools
should be drained or filed up, and
care be taken to prevent access to
sluggish and impure streams.

done to the Government cause.
When Mr.. rhurston mentioned the
misrepresentation of money on The
occasion mentioned above, he had
not the documentary proof with
him. He procured it later, how
ever, and after speaking at Kahana,
returned to a meeting at the Lahaina
market, clinching the charge there
with the production of the Indem-
nifty Bill of last session, necessitated
by the expenditure of the amount
named without authority. At Ka-
hama Mr.. Kinney was appointed
chairman of the day. Mr.. Kapena
followed the Oppositionists into the
arena, but discovering that the tide
of feeling was strongly set against
the Government, he soon retired in
disgust without having spoken q
word. On Messrs. Richardson,
Thurston and Kinncy's approach to

meeting, they were escorted by q
gay cavalcade of horsemen.

OPIUM AGAIN.

A law licensing the sale of opium
is certainly required to break up the
opium ring. OF course il is opposed
by the ring organs upon moral
grounds" That was to be expected.

foreshadows the re-introduction of
the defeated opium bill of last ses-

vided the right men, the distritc
judges, the road supervisors, and all
and sundry the motley throng of the
Governments creatures, can be got
into the next legislature to endorse
the atrocous measure. This is one
of the big schemes of national de-
bauchery on the boards of the
"party of immoral ideas" That
it is opposed upon "moral grounds"
is only too true, from which the in
ference is plain that there are no
"moral grounds" upon which the
license of the infamous business can
be defended. That the opium ring,
so called, includes persons in oppo-
sition to the Government may be
true, but it is most remarkable
fact that the Advertiser oft pro-
missed exposures duplicating its poll

need Of ship than Of a boa con-

On our coral beach, as well as on
every shore in the world, there are
always persons ready to Jump at
what seems to be chance of for
tune in the shape of vessel con-
demned after running on the strand.
Such ships, when they fall, as they
often do, into the hands of men
without the capital such property
requires for its management, are
patched up barely enough to
make them float with the assistance
of the pumps and sent on voyage
with precious lives on board. Doubt
less the license allowed such hulks
as these, where regulations are lax
or absent altogether, frequently con-
tributes to marine fatality. We do
not think that ovcr-insurance with
fraudulent or felonous intent has
given much, if any, cause to be
feared in the Hawaiian register.
Nevertheless, as our marine COM
merce grows the temptation to that
species of rascality will doubtless
increase, and ought to be provided
against with other kinds of risk
thrust upon sailors and sea passen-
gers. AT all events, one of the
needs of this kingdom is compre-

In brace of articles in refer

the most evident local contr-
butaries to the loss of life were

Domitila has gone so long overdue
as to justify placing her on the per-
manent roll of missing vessels. In
making approaches to the electors,
the would-be makers of the
kingdom could not promise a more
necessary thing than that they should,
if elected, see to it that the interests
of those who go down to the sea in
ships would not be neglected in the
coming session of the Legislature.

Said he: "We are getting tired of
gin. The Government men got a

on Punchbowl street, made them
drunk on gin, and then turned them
out to be arrested and locked up,
while one of them they killed with

MEETINGS ON MAUI.

Messrs. w. r. Castle, l.. A.
Thurston, w. A. Kinney and A. G.
Smith returned from Maui by the
steamer Kinau on Sunday morning.
During their visit TO that island
they held successful meetings at
Wailuku, Waihee, Kahakuloa, Ho-
nokohau, Lahaina, Kahana and
Waikapu. They succeeded in adj
ministering discontinue, as preli-
minary to defeat, to the Govern
ment party, but the Advertiser"
naturally, tries to make a triumph
for the Finance Minister at Lahaina,
where, on the contrary, he cut a
figure that should invite the deep
commiseration of his friends. Mr..
Kapena boosted at Waikiki that
lot of young fellows from Honolulu
were going to hold forth at Lahaina
and he was going there to prevent
them having hearing. He used up
a horse to reach the spot in time,
finishing the journey on foot. With
kia Nahaolelua, a. Government can
dldate, he entered the meeting while
MIR. Thurston was delivering ring
ing address. Instead of overawing
the speaker, the august presence of
the Minister only stimulated him
up to warmer work. Abiding to
the presence of the Minister of
Finance, Mr.. Thurston said SOD, 900
had been spent by the Government,
and there was not u scrap of paper
to show where the money had gone.
Mr.. Kapena rose and excitedly
shouted, "You're q liar! You're Il
'liar!" The chairman told the Minis
ter to sit down, but the latter gave
dastardly cue to his partisan sup
porters by continuing, 81 don't
want to have a riot here, but this
talk will lead to riot" then fairly
roaring, so my Lahaina, will you
let me be abused in this way?" His
Lahaina, however, proved stolid to
the incendiary appeal, showing
better sense than the Minister gave
them credit for. When he found
the Opposition candidates would not
wilt before his characteristic glare
or appeals to mob sentiment, Mr..
Kapena, in a fury, howled out an
accusation against the Opposition
visitors, of having brought foul
thousand dollars in gold into the
district to bride the electors. IL

isterial compliment of the lie direct

The Government meeting at the
Fish Market on Saturday afternoon
did not issue in much consolation
for that party. An unpretentious
native Opposiomst in scarlet
blouse took the audience right away
from Mr.. Keau, the man who sold
his independence for poi contract,
and held the stump for quarter of
an hour amidst great cheering. Mr..
j. Il. Baker alone of the Govern
ment speakers kept the natives in
good humor with his natural wit,
but his politics were so nonsensical
that they could have imposed upon
not even the simplest-minded audi
tor. Mr.. Poepoe, a sort of indie
pendent Government supporter, was
candid enough to admit the response
bility of the Ministry for the gold
law that his comrades denounced.
