Strict.

If wives are bound to be obedient,
husbands are certainly bound to be
reasonable. But, as the apostle said,
"All men have not faith"
A neighbor found herself unexpect-
edly straitened in the midst of her
pastry baking, and ran over to the
house of Mrs. Hooper, who kept more
than hundred hens, to ask if she
could spare single egg.
"Well, I'll see," answered Mrs.
Hooper, and, putting on her sunbon-
net, she went out to distant field in
which her husband was plowing. On
her return she said:
"Yes, Gideon says you can have it.
He never allows me to lend anything
without asking him first"

in one of her New York letters to the
Chicago Inter Ocean, The exercise of
charity which may be regarded now
almost as fashionable diversion is
matter of report, like other fashionable
diversions. But it would be very un:
true to intimate that it is only fash
lonable diversion. The sense of re-
sponsibility toward the less fortunate
has never more deeply and widely
penetrated generation.
There is scarcely woman of fashion
in this city who is not enrolled and in
active service. In fact, it is not so
much charity as charitable methods
that are o matter of concern, zeal hav-
ing tendency to overrun discretion,
and its coming rival opportunity is al
ready in the field.
But there are women of individuality
who carry into their we'll ll-doing certain
uniqueness which is as piquant and
interesting as it is suggestive and
profitable. Generally this has come
about by doing the thing that fell un-
der their eyes, and that needed to be
done.
An instance of this was the work
done by Mrs. W. S. Hoyt at Pelham.
1t will not detract from the interest in
it to add that Mrs. Hoyt was once bet
ter known to the country as Janet
Chase, the daughter of the Chief JUS
tice, and sister of Mrs. Kate Chase
Sprague.
In the neighboring village of West
chester there was u number of bows
whom the trades unions, limiting the
number OF apprentices. excluded from
learning anything except that which
they acquired on the cracker boxes
and salt barrels about the village gro
ceries. For these boys Mrs. Hoyt, in
teresting her neighbors, set up car
penter shop and q forge. She then
formed them in classes, under the su-
pervision of masters of the plane and
hammer. The girls dropped in and
took to modelling and wood carving.
Silk-worms were introduced, and pres
emily there sprung up knot of vii
lage industries where there had been
idleness and shiftlessness. Among
these Mrs. Hoyt infused her own artis-
especially fourished finely. The best
old models were procured, and Mrs.
Hoyt's own house and the country
cluD mousse are Illed Win admirable
pieces of hand work executed by these
boys, and in manner that would re-
new the respondent hopes and cour-
age of Mr.. Ruskin, if he could know
how nearly it approaches his own ideas
of handicraft. No modern makeshift
of glue was tolerated. The parts arc
joined as they were centuries ago, tho
carving was wrought in the solid
blocks in the oldfashioned way There
were no iigsaws in Westchester.

THE LONG AGO.
BY NINETTE II. LowATER.

When the rosy day is dying
And the night comes on apace,
With wild, enchanting grace,
Oft before INV memorys vision
Pass the forms | used to know
Faces dear and voices tender
OF the Long Ago.
Faces that the Tiolets cover
ON a far and lonely tomb,
Lips unkissed by friend or lover
Smile and speak from out the gloom.
But too soon the dream has faded,
Like sweet music in its flow;
They are gone-the loved the cherished
OF the Long Ago.

ing very rapidly in value since the
artistic hand of Jules Tavernier
ceased to move. A picture by this
artist entitled waiting for Montez-
una" was lately purchased for
$4,000 by Irving & Scott of the
Union Iron Works, San Francisco,
and it has been considered as Law
ernier's masterpiece; but Jules him
self thought that another painting,
the last he ever did and which he
finished shortly before his death, ex-
celled all his former efforts. This
celebrated painting is entitled
Sunset in Wyoming" and a
finer scene of Indian wild-life
on the plains, can hardly be
imagined. The groups of Indians
with their camp-fres and wigwams
are true and exact in every detail.
The blaze Of the buffalo-chip fires
seems alive, and one might almost
fancy that he could light a cigar at
the apparent glow. There are sew
eral well-known landmarks in the
view; and, altogether, this painting
is of great value to those who can
appreciate true art. Sunset in
Wyoming" by Tavernier would com
mand very high price in Europe
where productions of high genius
are fully appreciated; and it doubt
less will be held by its present owner
in Honolulu, at figure somewhat
resembling it's true value as a work
Of art, and as a Hawaiian production
the picture having been painted
from a sketch by the artist, aided by
memory, and the work was done at
the artists late studio in HilO, Ha-
wall. It is now on exhibition at the
rooms of j. J. Williams, photo
grapher, Fort street, and we under
stand that it would be sold if a sui
fcient price were offered. There is
no doubt that the pictures of the
late Jules Tavernier will increase in
value, as his works represent a
school of art that is not of a common
kind; and the subjects are always
interesting and valuable in proper
ton to the genius displayed. We
would recommend connoiseurs in art
to inspect the painting of "Sunset in
Wyoming" now being exhibited in
Mr.. Williams show room.

TAYERNIER'S PICTURES.

Artists and authors who have been
pecialy gifted, are chiefly remem
lered aud known by their works
nd especially is this the case after
ne artist or author has passed away
ID the other shore. The late Jules
Iavernier proved himself to be one
f those gifted artists whose special
les must remain lasting monuments
ID the artistic gifts which he I'm
doubtedly had for transferring vivid
scenes to canvas, and rendering them
charming to the eye and truthful in
very detail. The awe-inspiring and
Wild scenes Of the world were his
favorite subjects, and this desire for
The romantic and picturesque
brought him to the Hawaiian Isl
ands where he delighted to view and
sketch the ever changing volcanic
Icenery of Hawaii. His pictures Of

OUR SAN FRANCISCO LETTER.
Per $. S. City of Picking, San Francisco,
June 4th, 1889.

(From Our Special Correspondent.
Though only a few days have
elapsed since the departure of the
Mariposa still some events have tran
spired that are worth recording, such
as another advance in the price of
sugar, fuller particulars of the hor-
rible disaster in Pennsylvania, and a
few more points in connection with
the Samoan conference at Berlin.
The Sugar Market.
On Monday, June Sd, sales of
Cuba centrifugals, So test, were re-
ported from New York at 7.72 cents,
aud the market closing firm at that
figure. Advices by cable from Lon
don this morning, June 4th report
an advance in beet sugar, quot
atoms being 23s. 1O1d. for June and
24s. for July delivery, with the
market strong.
There has also been an advance in
San Francisco refinery prices of ]
cents and the California quoting SO
=
The latest New York advices to
hand, by mail, are as follows: The
market is so extremely sensitive to
every passing influence that refiners
are obliged to exercise the utmost
caution in making large purchases,
so as to guard against bidding the
market up upon themselves, but not
withstanding these efforts the
natural strength of the position as
serts itself wherever d test is applied.
Supplies are held with such stub
born confidence that it Is difficult
to draw them out even where a large
profit is assured. There has been
considerable business transacted in
sugar, one steamer being now on the
passage. It is also rumored that
Philadelphia has secured $4,000 tons
for prompt shipment at the
equivalent of los Sd. being over 3s.
under London quotations, and the
steamers are now on the berth in
Hamburg loading sugar for the
United States. These cargoes are
said to have been secured for the
new Spreckels refinery which will
open next month.

ferred it to their respective govern

1t not an anniversary occurring on IL e
same day Of the month in each year.
Just as in the case of Washington

Which the Coarier-Jour,aal answers
as follows: Easter is festival, the
period OF whose observance is mat
ter of decree of church councils. It.
is generally believed that it was OBJ
served by the successors of the Apos-
ties about 4. D. 63. The Council of
Aries, in 3I4, decreed that the day
Tor keeping this festival should be the
after the 14th day of the
March moon, and the Council of Nj.
cea, III 325, confirmed this decision.
The Roman method was not estab-
listed in France till 525, and in Brit
in and Ireland till about 500. Bv
he alteration of the calendar bv
5regory Mi, in 1882, the first Sun
lay after the full moon Immediately
oliowing March q was fixed as the
lay for observing this festival.
