FIRST DISCOVERIES.
Historical Facts About the Hawaiian
Islands Not Generally Known.

Historical Facts About the Hawaiian
Islands Not Generally Known.
1t is not generally known that the
Sandwich group is identical with a
cluster of islands discovered by the
Spanish navigator, Gaetan, in 1912,
and by him named The Kings
Islands" These the Spaniards placed
in the tenth, although the Sandwich
Islands are near the twentieth degree
of north latitude, which La Perouse, a
celebrated author, concludes unhesi-
tatingly to be mere clerical error.
The difference in ngitude-sixtee
or seventeen degrees-he ascribed to
the imperfect means of determination
possessed by the early navigators, and
to their ignorance of the currents of
the Pacific.
Allowing for the mistake in latitude,
the Kings Islands are evidently the
same as those found on some charts,
about the nineteenth and twentieth de-
grees of north latitude, under the
names of La Mesa, Los Magos and La
Diograciada, which Captain Dixon, as
we'll as La Perouse, sought for in vain
in the longitude assigned to them.
They appear to have been introduced
into the English and French charts
from that found in the gallcon taken
by Commodore Arson, and of which
a copy is given in the account of his
voyage.
Cook, or Lieutenant Roberts, the
compiler of the charts to his third
voyage, retained them; and La Pc
rouse was the first to erase them from
the map.
There can, indeed, be little doubt of
their identity with the Sandwich ISL
ands. But although Cook was not act
ually the first European who had Wis
tied these islands, TO him rightly be-
longs all the glory of their discovery.
Forgotten by the Spaniards, mis-
placed on the chart thousand miles
too far to the eastward, and unap-
preached for 240 years, their existence
utterly unknown and unsupported,
Cook was, to all intents and purposes,
their real discoverer.- Days.

Hans had much OF rugged health.
Hans. while toiling all the day,

BY Hans singing. was forlorn:
For his heart, oppressed with care,
Hated gladness anywhere.
"Hans," he cried, one morning why
arc you always singingT" II
Can not help 1t" Hans replied;
I'm too happy-here inside"
"Hansl Here is box OF gold
Take it and thy music hold.
For the songs you sing with zest
All destroy my morning rest"
Foolish Hans! He took the box
Filled with gold and strong with locks,
Took it think ng 'twould bestow
Happiness he didn't know.
Unhappy Hans! Instead Of joy
All his treasure was Il clOy;
Guarding it by day and night
R0DDeu MIN OF MS neaTL delight
Sitting on his box, he wept-
Even while his neighbor slept:
Wept because he couldn't sing,
Wept because he was king.
Nature seemed to him as cold
AS his load Of yellow gold,
Friends as enemies appeared,
Those he loved before he feared,
On a morning Hans arose,
Took the box that held his woes
TO his neighbor. "Sir, behold
Hans exclaimed, 81 bring thy gold.
'Take 1t back-thy gift was wrong;
Take i'll must have my song"
Happy Hans! Enslaved no more,

BEAUTYS QUALITIES.

All About Noses, Their Peculiarities,
Shapes and Characteristics.
The positive nose is we'll proper
toned, though slightly inclined to the
retrousse. 1t betokens bright, viva
cious nature, and is somewhat emo
tional
Benevolence is indicated by large
nose, with well-defned Roman curve
to the bridge. If sharp at the point
mental activity is denoted. 1t is one
OF the most common types.
The truly feminine nose is something
of snub, but it is a good, lovable
nose for all that.
The vigorous, pushing nose is set
with firmness on the face, and is al
most masculine in the severity of it's
outlines. 1t is usually accompanied
with strong, fair development, and
denotes practical, hard common sense.
Susan B. Anthony has such a nose.
The characteristics of the social
nose is irregularity in outline, though
this does not necessarily imply lack of
beauty. On the contrary, it often adds
to the attractiveness of its possessor.
While not an intellectual nose. it is
brainy enough for all practical pur-
poses.
The literary nose is a refined and
well-balanced organ of the composite
style, somewhat inclined to droop at
the point. Morally and mentally it is
rather strong than otherwise, and in
such one as might be inherited from
o good line OF worthy ancestors

GIRLS ON HORSEBACK.
How the Knack of Riding Is Taught 60 q
Beginner.

Beginner.
The base for all riding lessons for
beginners is the safety and careful
training of the horses. Only horse
OF strong will-power, wide intelligence
and disciplined nerves can bear with
equanimity the succession of surprises
sweet girl manages to arrange for
him when she mounts for the first
time. The first mounting is from
block, and rider has only to sit down
with little spring to be in her place.
but there are something like one hum
dred ways girl manages to take that
little spring and take it exactly wrong
before she is in the saddle. Then it
takes an artist to arrange girls skirt
and two grooms to hold the horse
while it is done. When she doesn't
forget to unlock the little loop that
holds her dress in the back she sits
down squarely on the fullness that
should go over the pommel, or gets so
helplessly wound up in the skirts that
no one but the tifteen-puzzle man can
ever get her out alive. Her saddle is
never exactly right, her stirrup either
too long or too short and she fidgets
and fuses and nestles and giggles and
gets pink in her cheeks and lot of
imprecation and profanity in the heart
of the groom before she is finally sat-
isfied and rides into the ring, only to
come back again in nine cases out of
ten for another horse or saddle or
something.
Mounting from the ground is yet
more difficult feat, and usually the first
few trials end in disaster. One hand
on the saddle, the other on the should
er of the master, his arm about her
waist, her foot in his hand and then
count one, two, three, and she springs
only to land where she least expects.
while the horse quivers and shivers in
patient submission and bears it.
The favorite mode of riding is after
the English style, and the master rides
round and round with the pupil, cor
recting, criticising her position, and
suggesting such ideas as she may find
beneficial. Suddenly, without warn
ing, he chirrups to her horse, and
away they go, his hand underneath
her elbow to teach how and when to
rise from the saddle as the horse
bounds. Faster and faster they fly,
and whittier and whittier grows the girls
face through the nameless fear that
will come and must be dispeled by
heroic treatment.
A naturally graceful woman who is
not afraid of horse, and understands
how to manage one, can learn to ride
we'll in very few lessons, but a timid,
nervous woman requires considerable
practice to accustom herself to the ter
rifying motion of the powerful animal
she rides. II practiced months and
months, said a pretty young girl, ito
learn to rise in the saddle according
to the masters teachings, but l just
couldn't do it at all, and l was lame
all over, until one day papa said:
why, just sit still and let the horse
throw you,' and in ten minutes had
it, and have never had any trouble
since. "-Philadelphia Item.

Twenty years have passed since
certain Bath sea captain, entering the
port of New York, telegraphed his
wife at Bath to join him at the metrop-
oils prepared for sea voyage. Ac-
cordingly a day or two after the ar
rival of the message saw the wife en-

Bath to Boston, accompanied by an
infant child scarcely two years old.
The car was shunted on to the end

A GREAT UNIVERSITY.
The Probable Effect Of Such an Institu-
ton on Our National Life.

tne PROBABLE Eject OF Such an 1nStttu-
ton on Our National Life.
Andrew D. White, formerly presi-
dent of Cornell University and after
ward Minister to Germany, is vigor-
ously insisting on the establishment at
Washington of a great university.
After explaining the unusual facilities
for university work given by the Gov
ernment's libraries and laboratories
and museums, he says in the course of
an article in the Forum: II fully be-
lieve that within few years such
university would be one OF the most
useful and lourishing in the world, and
that it might fairly expect finally to
equal in the numbers and character OF
it's students, as we'll as in the attain
ments and regulations of it's faculty.
the University Of Berlin-the highest
point which any university organiza-
ton has yet reached. The City of
Washington is rapidly becoming a
great metropolis; it is developing the
atmosphere which is to give character
to the executive, the judicial and
especially the legislative business
of the Nation. What shall that
atmosphere be? Shall it be made by
luxurious millionaires, anxious only
for new fields in which to display their
wealth. Shall it be an atmosphere of
riotous living, without one thought of
better thingsP Shall it be redolent
merely of political scheming and stock
jobbing by day, and of canvas-backs
and terrapin by night? In such a
future, legislative cynicism and cor
ruption, and eventually, perhaps,
executive and judicial cynicism and
corruption, will be of course; for they
will present the only means by which
men can adjust their lungs to the nor
NAL atmosphere. Shall it not rather
be capital where, with the higher
satisfaction and graces of civilized liv-
ing, there shall be an atmosphere of
thought upon the highest subjects. Of
work in the most worthy fields, of de-
votion to the noblest aims? Such an
atmosphere great university with the
men and work involved in it would
tend to develop, and in 1t demagogism
would wither and corruption lose the
main element of its support We may
well suppose that some considerations
of this kind passed through the mind
of him whose great name our capital
bears, and that these were among the
thoughts which prompted him to urge,
again and again, the founding there Of
university worthy of the patton"
