TRUTH AND FICTION.
Tho Supremacy Of tho Lie Establishe cd
by Logical Reasoning.

Tho Supremacy of tho Lie Establish cd
by Logical Reasoning.
IL is sometimes difficult and often
painful to tell tho truth. A llo is so
much better dressed than tho truth.
The truth is q laboring man; tho lie is
the successful stock broker. Tho
truth may tramp woarily and pain
fully; tho lie rides in palace car. Tho
truth hestates and stammers; the lie
is as easy and as volublo of SMOOTH
sentences rs the brook Is prolific of
musical babble. Truth limps with q
stone-bruise; tho lie dances with sound
and graceful feet. Do you ask who is
to blame for this condition of socictyP
You nre--every body is. While pro-
Tossing to love the truth we are
bored by it. Whilo pretending to
scorn tho lie we are onraptured with
it. We can see its paint powder and
false hair, but there is music In its
voice and its manners are engaging.
Truth is a ploddor; the liar is poet
Truth raises the corn. but tho lilo pock-
cts the money.
In this life facts are rough stones.
Fiction is the carved figure. Facts
belong TO nll men. Fiction belongs to
the chosen. Fact is nero discovery;
fiction is creation. Tho man who
writes an original story has finer
mind, has n mind more in keeping
with the God-given faculty of creation,
than the man who complies an ency-
clopeala. One is industry; the other
is genius. The compiler is truth; the
story writer is the lie, --Arkansav

occasion of this feat was tho tele-
graphic determination Of tho differ

United States Coast Survey Station in
San Francisco and tho observatory of
the Harvard University at Cambridge
In tho year 1869. In order to deter

tenths Of second of time. This was
continued every second for several
minutes. and was repeated upon sew

feed. They are much more numerous
than sparrows, and, though not Of

colors, and are altogether q pleasing

with tho ARCHITECTURAL department
of tho corporation havo suddenly
discovered that these public pets spoil
the appearance Of the two town mon

in somo instances tho finest plastic
beauties and architectural forms are
covered by regular deposit Of guano.
On tho other hand IL Is pointed out
that the vagrant pigeons are of no use,
and therefore tho authors Of the re-
port think they should bo caught and
sent to the charity schools and hos
pitals to be eaten. There are few
pretty monuments In Venice, too. and

a substitute for Coal.
[Philadelphia Record.l

The Russian oil field promises to be
much more extensive than ours, and
the supply more enduring than that de-
rived from the wells in this country.
Russian oil, at the wells, is worth about
IS cents PER barrel, and yields under
ordinary refining processes only about
30 per cent. of Illuminating oil. But the
heavy, non-explosive, lubricating oil
that remains after the process of distil-
lation is perhaps the cheapest and best
fuel in the world. The steam cars and
steamships of southern Russia use it ex-
clusively, and it is finding its way into
use in the steam craft Of other countries
going and coming from ports in the
Black sea and the Mediterranean. 1t is
cheaper than coal, it does not occupy
one-nfth of the room, and will soon be
esteemed necessity for steamers max
ing long voyages, which are obliged to
carry SO much coal they have little room
for other freight.

The " FRIEND.

We certainly must congratulate the
editor of the ''Friend'' on the excellent
number he has brought out for the
month of February. The leading article
on GLOW to Reach Young Men" is well
written, and as the subject is at the
present time prominently before the
public, we reproduce the article:
Much has been said in our papers of late
on this question, which appeals to the
deepest feeling of every parent and every
Christ-like soul. Everywhere the young
man with his ardent passions and leaping
impulses, is pulled on every side by
mighty temptations, and the way of
Death has more hold upon him than the
way of life. In Honolulu those tempta-
tons are often peculiarly degrading.
OF all the means of reaching after and
laying hold of those young men who are
more or less giving way to these entice-
ments, and winning them to pure and high
living, we know of none so effectual as the
individual personal friendship of good men
and women. Let each such one try to
gain the lasting regard and confidence of
some young man whose feet are straying.
We must save men one at a time. 1t is
the individual work that tells the most.
You cultivate grain or grass in masses.
The choice rose or orange trees you must
dig about and train one by one. The
more choice and precious the plant. the
more individualizing must be the work.
So must precious human souls receive close
individual attention and distinctive per-
sonal friendship.
In every city in Christendom are large
companies of young men, many of them
possessing culture and ability, who rapidly
entice into their own ways of vice the
majority of the youth who approach man
hood year after year. How desperately
sad and bitter to see our beautiful Young
sons, with all their promise, one after an
other dragged into this deadly whirlpool
of vice, rarely to escape at all, without
deep branding or manning for life. What
can we do yet more to save some of them
A long article on Ponape affairs APP
pears, and the Hawaiian Board and Y.
NJ. G. A. departments are full of inter
esting matter.
