Whom Many Natives Want as Their
Ruler.
Journey.

For many years the Princess Liliuoka-
lani has aspired to ascend the Hawaiian
throne. She has often said that if she
could be queen for a day she would be
willing to die. It is believed that she
approved of the recent abortive rising
against her brother, the reigning sover-
eign.
Kalakaua 1, and his spouse, KapiOlans,
having no children, in April, 1877, the
Princess Lydia Kamakeha Liliuokalani,
sister of the king, was declared by him
heir appa: ent to the throne. She was
born in Honolulu on September 2, 1888.
She was taken at birth to be the adopted
daughter of Paki and Konia, two of the
noblest chiefs While at the Royal school
she met as a schoolmate young man born
in Massachusetts,, to whom she was married
on September Is. 1862. In April, 1877, on
the departure of the king on his tour
around the world, she was proclaimed heir
apparent, and assumed the government as
regent during his absence. She filled this
capacity with much credit to herself and
to the satisfaction Of the people. Her &C.
complishments include an excellent COM
mand of the English language, and superb
ority as q musician. She has composed an
air for the national hymn, and has arranged
several popular airs. In the church music
of Honolulu her cultivated taste and de-
cided ability have been most useful.

The Value of SleeD.

Says DR.. Robert Collyer: "Your sleep
js>the hidden treasure of your youth to
day, and tomorrow it will be the margin
you will have to draw on for our age. Do
you think you can racket around into the
small hours, snatch brief repose and then
be just as good as ever to hold and bind?
it is not true Many yOnng man sells his
birthright in this way, and cannot have it
back again though he seek it with many
tears. Take your honest eight hours sleep,
if you may; there's life in it, and grace.
1t is one of the good angels which will
save you from the temptation to drink,
give you an even mind, brighten all your
powers and do many things for you no
other power can do.
$50 when you get farther on and are in
the thick of the worlds business, do not
forget what virtue lies in this good habit.
You may make more money by sitting up
nights, but the chances are you will not
keep 1t; carve out good business and
then have to quit; or grow eminent in your
profession and then break down. Good
fortune turns greatly on good habits, and
this is one of the best. We can go jnst so
far, and then we have to fall back on Ma
ture and on God for new power. But if
we say: will work double tides, and so
get fevered and out of tune with the true
laws of success in life, then the day comes
when our power turns to something like
paralysis. Your true business OF profes-
sional man is the man who rises well rested
with cool, clear brain and steady nerve
the man who can shake off business af er
business hours. 60 to sleep like yearling
child, and rise like strong man to run q
race. And it is great mistake in good
men to say this is shameful waste of
time, when it may be, and often is, the
bsst possible use Of time; or that we should
be at our prayers, while still we need this
on which the worth of the prayer is to
turn.
81 say that to sleep one hour more in
such a case is better than either to labor
or to pray, and may bring rs nearer both
to God and man."

Against Whom Has Been an Unsuc.
cessful Outbreak.

Readers have been thoroughly informed
of the outbreak at Honolulu, Hawaii,
against King Kalakaua l., which took
place on July 80. 1t was led by Robert
w. Wilcox and Robert Boyd, and shared
in by some hundreds of men. Natives of
Hawai-: are said to be in sympathy with
the movement, and the conviction OF the
prisoners taken is not likely to happen.
One object of the insurgents was to depOse
the unpopular king, of whom we give a
picture, and to make his sister, the Princess
Liliuokalani queen. Kalakaua, who is re-
ported to be spendthrift and man of dis
sipated character, is of pure Hawaiian
blood, and akin to the ancient royal family
of the kingdom. He was born November
16, 1886, the son of Keolo-
kaole and Kapaakea. When, in the year
1873, King Lunalilo l. died, Kalakaua was
elected by the Parliament 10 succeed him.
The king was crowned with ridiculous and
costly ostentation, in February, 1883. He
was expected to cross the continent on a
trip to Paris within few weeks time,
but is not now expected to make the
Journey.

The Champion Sculler of A.Lerica.
The honors recently paid to O'Connor in
London, remind us that the time of the
sculling contest for the championship of
the world is approaching. On September
9th the American champion who has never
suffered defeat in a match race, will meet
Searle who also has the record Of never
defeated, in struggle which will decide
whether the championship of the world
will be held on this or the other side of
the Atlantic The match will be Iowed
on the River Thames, England, on which
O'Connor is diligently practicing in prepa-
ration for the greatest event in his life.
O'COnnor, the American champion, is q
Canadian. He was born in Toronto in
1868. The first time he competed as pro-
fessional was at Minneapolis in 1885, when
he defeated Stone. A year before Hanlan
said O'Connor was the coming sculler. His
which he defeated Henry Peterson, the
champion of California, making about
seven thousand dollars by the operation.
He is champion sculler of America by vir-
tue of Teemer having failed to make good
an engagement to row against him. O'Con
nor claims to be as strong as Teemer and
more expert and believes therefore that he
could defeat him.
Champion O'Connor is encouraged by
the earnest good wishes of countless Amer
leans. Recently the presentation of flag
and purse of considerable value was made
to him in London, at the Office of Sir
Charles TUT per. High Commissioner for
the Dominion of Canada.

The Great American Electric In.
ventOr.

Edison is in Paris, which Outdoes herself
in the graceful honors paid to our leading
inventor. Nothing has been better said in
his praise than by writer in Figaro: "Never
can sufficient tribute of honor been paid to
him whom bv telephone transports speech
from pole to pole; who by phonograph re-
peats to our ears and hearts blessed words
of dear dead ones, giving them to US with
the charm of their information. He has
merited we'll of all countries" While
Paris thus generously recognizes his work,
we at home remember that the Edison ex-
hibit is perhaps the most wonderful thing
in the worlds fair and the one which saves
the general inadequacy of contributions
from the United States from being dis
graceful. @
Edison was born at Milan, Ohio. in 1847.
He began his working life as newsboy
when about eight years old, at Port Huron,
Michigan. Five years afterward he sue
ceeded in procuring contract for the ex-
elusive sale of newspapers on the Grand
Trunk railway of Canada. He began the
study of chemistry, prosecuting it in con-
nection with mis- newspaper business, and
was subsequently an operator. In 1867,
while living in Cincinnati, he began ex-
perimenting with the view to sending two
messages at once over one wire, and sue
ceeded in doing this in Boston not long
afterwards. This was the first of the many
inventions which have earned for him and
his country immortal honor. Edison has
made wealth by his inventions and is chief
proprietor of a great factory at Menlo Park
New Jersey. Il. IL

THE BUILDER.

In our Fathers grace are many mansions,
All of them He owns
Rising are they in His kingdom,
Built in single homes
Built for each Of all His many children,
Suited to the need
All will find the hopes they cherished
Growing from the seedl
Souls that wander in a desert barren,
Searching for some stream,
Come at last to cooling waters,
Brighter than their dream.
Must we wait till we have left the earth-life,
Ere we find this home?
Must we struggle through deaths darkened
chambers,
Ere claim own?
Founded on the rock of all the ages,
That shal stand for aye,
Is this wond rous house OF strength eternal,
That we seek Away.
Wall and turret sill and beam and rafter,
Fashioned are of right.
Stronger are they than the strongest IRON
Wrought of Gods own might.
Waiting even here
Till we turn and leave with Him our wishes,
Tracing them as clear
As our feeble fingers trace picture,
OF the real ana true
And God touches 1t with grace and beauty,
AS He alone can do
Dwelling In the body, still we find 1t,
The spirlt-home SO dear
Though sin may offer all its great temptations,
Free are we from every fear!

WINGS SOME DAY.

Nature had foiled In her measure,
Made mistake in her plan,
Fixed to the limbs of an infant
The trunk of man.
Down on the dock, while the ferry
Crossed and recrossed the stream,
And faces were changing about him
Like those in a dream.
Down on the dock in his wagon
He sst all day selling books,
But far hey ond price was the story
/ read in his looks.
Eyes that grew bright with the burden
That breaks many strong men down,
Look ed into mine from that wagon.
Beaming and brown.
Eyes that had laughed at the sorrow,
From which a worldlinR flies;
Eyes that were full Of tomorrow
Beautiful eyes.
In them | saw peace sitting,
Who keer eth the worlds heart warm;
Peace. who comes after the battle
After the storm.
fearful the eyes of lady
Crossing that river with me.
As she said, when she saw how helpless
A creature might be.
ITO what can the poor boy look forward
Through all life's wearisome wayT
Quick as his smile came the answer,
ITO wings some day."
Men were passing complaining
God had forsaken their part;
Better be crippled in body
Than crippled in heart.
Let us remember the answer
OF that boy in his hopeful way,
And ever look upward, forward,
ITO wings-some day."

Royal Wedding Gifts.
[Pall Mall Gazette.


The st. Petersburg world of women is in
a flutter of admiration over three dressing
gowns, to see which every body is making
pilgrimage to q certain "atelier" where
they are exhibited. They are the gift of
the Czarina to the Princess Alexandra of
Greece, who is about to be married to the
Grand Duke Paul of Russia.
One of these phenomena in fur is made
of white silver fox, trimmed with a wide
border of real gold thread. The second is
of sable, and fastened in front with six
clasps composed of real pearls, which are
said to be strikingly effective among the
costly fur. But the most gorgeous of the
three gowns, all of which seem to have
been made after patterns taken from fairy
tales. is that which is made of the fur of
the rare so-called blue" fox, and has, as its
only ornament, . belt made entirely Of
diamonds.

New York SUM-

rail-
New York SUM-
A story comes to the clubs from sum-
mer resort about wealthy but not over
beautiful girl who has heen receiving
marked attentions from a very handsome
young Englishman of excellent family to
such degree that her friends have taken
it for granted that the two were soon to
start together down the lane of roses and
thorns with clasped hands and trusting
hearts. One day these lovers rode together
out to the estate of a gentleman farmer
who was friend of the young woman's
family As they were calloping along the
road toward the house they saw girl
coming across the meadow.
"Oh, there's Maggie with a milk pail,
and Pm so thirsty I'm going to wait for
her to come up, and then ask her for
drink"
This was said by the young lady, and
as she spoke she drew up her horse, her
companion following suit. Maggie came
up to where they were and said timid
good morning. With her brown hair
struggling down over her young shoulders
her large blue eyes, delicate brown face
and neck, and tall slim figure, she pre-
sented picture of striking beauty as she
stood there assuring the young lady on the
horse that she was quite welcome to all
the milk she could drink. And turning
her eyes upon the handsome young En-
glishman, she said:
And you, sir, too, can also"
But she became confused at that point,
and blushed furiously under the gaze of
the captivated gentleman on the horse.
The lovers rode away, leaving Maggie
looking after them in the center of the
road.
who is 'that?" asked the young man of
his companion. "One of the farm hands?"
ooh, no indeed" was the reply. "That
is Margaret, Mr.. BIS youngest daugh-
ter. Pretty little thing, isn't she? Lives
here the year round and is simple as the
wood violet Milks cows, darps stockings
and rakes hay. She's very different from
the other girls, who all spend their winters
in New York. But she's only sixteen.
She'll have taste of the city in a scar or
two more. and then / guess she'll stop
milking cows" -.-a. -
This all occurred month ago. The en-
gagement of the young Englishman was
announced this week. But he is not to
marry the wealthy girl who wanted him 80
much. He won Maggie and her father in
just three weeks, and it is declared that a
more beautiful pair of lovers never graced
a hotel parlor than this milkmaid and her
sturdy young sweetheart. ....,.-.

VIM. EWING.
Captain of the New York Base Ball
Club.

"Buck" Ewing's generalship has put the
New York men next to the top place, with
the penant in prospective view. Conspicu-
GUS as the chief man among the players
when they are on the field, he is also one
of the most hard working men on the team.
Ewing is Western man by birth, and it
was in the West that he learned to play.
He was born in Cincinnati about thirty one
years ago. In 1878 he began to play ball,
and was connected with the leading anna
teurs of his native city in that and the fol-
lowing season. Ewing played with the
Buckeyes Of Cincinnati in 1880. His pro-
fessional life began in June, that year, with
an engagement on the Rochester team.
Three months later he joined the Troy
club. He continued with them until they
disbanded in 1892 Ewing, as he is gener-
ally called, has been six seasons with the

"There Is q Happy Land.
New York Tribune.

rev YORK Tribune
How many of the nyriads who in child
hood have sung, There Is Happy Land,
Far, Far Away" know anything of it's
writer? His name is Andrew Young,
and he is 80 years of age, still mentally
and physically vigorous, and retaining in
all its early freshness his sympathy with
children. The hymn was composed in
1885, The tune to which it is married is
an old Indian air, which blended with the
music of the woods in the primeva
forests long before Sunday schools were
thought of. The hymn was composed for
the melody. Its bright and strongly
marked phrases struck Mr.. Young's
musical ear the first time he heard it
casually played in the drawing-room. He
asked for it again and again. 1t haunted
him. Being accustomed to relieve
the clamor of his thoughts and
.lings in rhyme, words naturally
followed. and so the hymn was
created. Mr.. Young happened to have his
hymn performed in the presence of his in
innate friend, Mr.. Gall. q member of the
publishing firm of G IL & Inglis. 1t got
INTO print. 1t has been translated into
nineteen different languages. And yet the
author has never received, and, indeed, has
never been offered, penny remuneration.
1t is only recently that Professor David
Mason. referring to the unique influence
of this lyric, stated most touching incl
dent in the life of Thackeray. Walking
one day in "slum" district in London he
suddenly came upon band of gutter chill
dreE sitting on the pavement. They we're
singing. Drawing nearer he heard the
words, There is happy land, far, far
awayw AS he looked at the ragged Choir
listers and their squalid surroundings. and
saw that their pale faces were lit up with .
thought which brought both forgetfulDess
and hope, the tender-hearted cynic burst
