In the average Indian family the strictest
domestic economy is the rule of life, and the
household work is done by the women Of the
household, not, as with US, by paid. servants.
Servants there are, of course, in all Indian
families, but they are, as a rule, on totally
different footing from the European domestic,
being for the most part independent persons
with clientele. for whom they perform GER
tain customary services for e customary
wage. The distribution OF the daily work.
down to that of the most menial kind, lies
with the materfamiiias, who may be best de
scribed as the oldest woman in the family
proper under coverture, for widows can have
no authority.
The caoking, as the work of honor, sht
keeps to herself, but the house cleaning, til,
washing, the care Of the children. the draw
ing Of the water, the making of the beds, an(
so on, is done by the less digniiied member
of the household. as she directs; and what
ever is most monial, most disagreeable, AM
the hardest work, is thrust upon the bride
She is the servant Of the very servants, AM
must obey everybody. 1t is hardly, there
| fore, to be wondered at that, after her previ
Gus training, it is by no means an uncommol
occurrence that She has to be forcibly broker
into her new way in life, that she is foreve
signing after the flesh pots of her father
house, that there are various customs
which enable her to revisit it at stated time
after the marriage, and that the law is ofte
invoked to oblige brides to return to thei
husbands families after the customary teri
of such visits had expired.=Capt. R. c

The pleasure which comes of a novel should
be physical. 1t should put the reader in a
state of tension sufficient to cause an evoca-
ton Of fancies which without that influence
would decline to appear. The author who
affects his reader as an easy chair does may
be comforting as easy chairs are, but there
comes an hour when he is relegated to the
garret. The first dnty OF novelist is to irri-
tate the reader. The second duty is to be
able to bone the dictionary as readily as a
chef bones bird The third duty is to have
emotions, and to be so prompt in detairing
them that the reader shares their effect.
But, paramount of all, he should let no work
go from him that docs not instill some lesson,
and make men, and women too, the better
and the wiser for his prose.-Edgar Saltus in
Lippincotts Magazine.

The hotels along the main roads in this
province are somewhat noted for their ele-
gance and comfort. Our first nights experi-
ence was not altogether encouraging; the
house was pretentious in appearance, and the
room of honor, in which official and wealthy
men have feasted and slept for many years,
was delegated TO US. The unpretentious
rooms on either side of the narrow but very
long court, leading straight up from tine
street past kitchen and dining courts to our
room, were filed at an early hour by poorer
travellers. The court itself was crowded with
chairs and baggage, while half naked coolies
were running hither and thither before set
Ting to bath and the opium pipe Unclean
water was dashed right and lett from the
walks along the fronts of the rooms into the

Everything w7ls in commotion as we ar
rived. and few minutes later the regular
| disorder grew into a mob, which continued

ers were hustling each her TO get the best
rooms; coolies threw down their burdens

tables, drew forth their old pain fans, and
slipped vretched tea until they recovered
sufficient strength to take their packs inside.

THE HOSPITAL NURSE.


once knew quite well one of these nurses.
She was quiet little woman, with the quick
est observation and most sympathetic and
persuasive ways with her patients. l asked
her once if the sight Of continual suffering
and death in the hospital ever had tendency
to harden or create indifference in the nurses.
She replied that with her it was exactly the
reverse, and told many interesting and some
very touching stories of her experience in the
hospital. She would never wear her cap.

coaxingly to a feverish little boy who opened
his eyes and looked doubtfully at the strange
face bending over him. 81 never saw such

A GAY SEND-OFF.

The Alameda left her dock sharp
at noon to-day, for San Francisco.
There was the liveliest kind of a
time on the wharf previous to her
departure. The Hawaiian Band
was there and discoursed popular
music much to the delight of the
through passengers, who gave three
hearty cheers for the Honolulu
band. Nearly all of the passengers
were decorated with leis, and much
amusement was caused by two men,
bers of the London Gaiety Com
pany with their antics. A number
of native boys were alongside the
steamer diving for coin which was
literally thrown from the deck by
the passengers. Taken altogether,
it was one of the gayest send-offs
for steamer in long time.

COMBINATION GnNGERT.

The concert given at the Hawai-
ian Hotel by the Hawaiian band
and the u. S. S. Brooklyn's band,
last night, was a treat. The first
four pieces on the programme were
played by our own band, led by
Mr.. Berger. The second part con-
sisted of four pieces by the Brook
lyn's band, led by Mr.. ID. Ficca,
their regular bandmastcr. In the
third part the two bands combined,
the respective bandmasters alter
mating in the leadership. Between
the second and third parts several
vocal pieces were interpersed by
the Hawaiian band boys. That the
music both instrumental and vocal
was appreciated, was attested by
hearty applause, particularly when
the two bands combined.
There was an immense crowd of
people present. The balconies of
the Hotel, which were gaily lighted
by colored lanterns, were jammed
full of interested listeners. Every
available seat in the grounds, and
indeed almost every bit of standing
room, was also occupied. Incan
descent electric lights scattered
among the trees and shrubbery
aided the moon in furnishing illum-
nation. The bands occupied the
rotunda in front of the Hotel.
Shortly after the commencement
of the concert, the steamship Ala
media reached the wharf, and most
of her passengers found their way
TO where the music was. Judging
from frequent exclamation, they
appeared very much pleased botf
with the surroundings and the con.
cert.
A pleasant dance followed in the
large parlor of the Hotel.
1t is to be hoped that the music
ians of the Brooklyn, who contribut
ed so much towards the pleasure o
this occasion and who delighted on
people with their music, may b'
induced more than once again tt
similarly join our local forces ant
favor us during their stay in port.
