"Have at them, then,
My gallant men!"
Our leader blithely cried.
"Nor shell nor shot
Defends the spot
Where these poltroons now hideP'
AS soft as clay
The snow now lay
Beneath the monday sun;
It made US smile
To think the while
Our foemen they had none.
But OH how soon
We changed our tune
That fateful New Years dayl
Those frozen balls,
Stored in the STALLS
Were not at all like play.
Our lesson was bought
With the first onslaught, .
For the volley that laid us low,
With painful thumps.
And blue black bumps,
Was a volley of frozen snow.

Our twelve men to their ten;
And now you know
Why this was SO.

This upstart crowd
They could not be ignored.


So Captain Jim
Surrounded him
With soldiers true and tried,
While Captain Jack
And his rude pack
Responded full of pride.
Their chance looked slim
To Captain Jim,
For they numbered only ten.
While we set out
TO put them to rout
With q dozen gallant men.
We had our way,
And New Years day
Was named for the final charge;
Near Simpsons field
The foes were concealed,
And Simpsons field was large.
But larger yet
To our regret,
We found was Simpsons heart;
In his cattle stalls
They stored snowballs,
Which doomed us from the start.
Our warriors bold
Behind the fold
For sheep were all arrayed,
And knowing paught
Of the foes dark plot,
Were not q whit dismayed.

Upon the game

And editorial views
On the same.
1t used to seem like work
Which was glad to shirk-
This carrier job;
But now to me it's play,
And, rs I learned today,
Also to Bob.
Pm very glad to find
Bob in that state of mind,
For it was he
Who led that "bravest band
Of Injun fighters in the land"-
Including me.
That's what you called us when
We struggled home again,
Ambition gone;
But when we started out
To put the fiends to rout
You cheered us on.
To ME and all the rest

Where fame awaits
Let future song and story
Cover us with glory.

THE LADIEs. RAID.
Tramp, tramp, trampl

Tramp, tramp trampl
With the morning clocks at ten,
She skinned the street with footsteps feet,
And hustled the timid men.
Tramp, tramp, tramp!
She entered the drygoods store.
And with echoing tread the dance she led
All over the crowded floor.
She charged the throne where the bargains
were,
And everybodymade way for her;
Wherever she saw painted sign
She made for that spot prompt bee line;
Whatever was old or whatever was new,
She had it down and she looked it through.
Whatever it was that caught her eye,
Shed stop and price and pretend to buy;
But twas either too bad, too common or good
So she did. and she wouldn't, and didn't and
would.
And round the counters and up the stairs,
In attic and basement and everywheres;
The statesmen tainted and cashboys dropped,
But still she shopped, and shopped, and
shopped;
And round, and round, and round, and round,
Like winding toy with a key that's wound,
Shed weave, and wriggle, and twist about,
One way in and the other way out,
Till men grew giddy to see her go;
And by and by, when the sun was low,
Homeward she dragged her weary way
And had sent home the spoils of the day
A spool of silk and a hank Of thread
Eight hours ten centS-and dame half
dead.

FRILLS AND FATORs.

Those who can afford them favor cos
tunes of velvet, simply made, and
edged with Russian sable and other rich
furs.
Lilac and pale mauve are favorite col
ors for evening gowns. The favored
materials are velvets and satin brocades.
Novelties in black crepe de chine show
tufts and rings of black velvet; also en-
broidered floral designs in effective ar
rangements.
Handsome costumes of dark velvet
have round skirts edged with blue fox,
and left open at two seams to show un-
derskirts of light brocaded satin.
Crepe de chine is used for evening
gowns for young ladies, and leading
trade journal predicts that this elegant
fabric will find increased consumption
next summer, both for entire costumes
and in combination with other stuffs.
The Addison" is a new indoor gown
of dark gray cloth with border of vel
vet edged on either side with black
braiding. The pointed bodice has full
yoke finished where it joins with velvet
and embroidery, the collar and cuffs
being the same.
A more dressy Paris mantle is of
shaded brown matelasse relieved by long
cores of seal-brown plush. The mantle
is plain and tight fitting, and has pointed
sleeves edged with passementerie over
tight-ftting undersleeves of plush, edged
with feather trimming.
The Camille" is new coat of dark
green cloth with trimmings of black
tori Ill I. =
of which are composed of black velvet
finished with a fringe of heavy cord.
Round the neck and down the front is a
combined tippet and boa of sable.
Very stately evening gowns of black
velvet have trained skirts lined with
white satin and bordered with bands Of
black marabout, edged with curled black
cocks feathers. The high bodices have
bands of the plumage around the throat
and down the 'front.'

HOME MATTERS.

Cleanse the sink-spout with copperas
water.
If sassafras bark is sprinkled among
dried fruit it will keep out the worms.
Tin cleaned with paper will shine bet
bitter than when cleaned with flannel.
Ham should be broiled very quickly,
and just enough to cook through.
Yeast jars should be washed in cold
water and afterward thoroughly scalded.
Oilcloths will last longer if one or two
layers of wadded carpet lining are laid
under them.
Tea leaves are good to scatter over car
pets before sweeping, not only to freshen
the colors, but also to prevent the dust
arising.
Plenty of towels in the kitchen is a
saving, and six good wipers are none too
many. Three each week and the rims
ing after meals is not needed.
Lay a piece of thick canton flannel
under your tablecloth. Even coarse nap
cry will look much better quality with
a subcover than if spread directly over
the bare table top.
Flowers can be kept fresh for some
time if pinch of soda or saltpeter is
added to the water. Wilted roses will
regain their freshness if dipped minute
or two in hot water.
In washing tumblers or goblets that
have been used for milk do not plunge
them into hot water without first rinsing,
as it drives the milk into the glass and
can not be removed.
To clarity molasses, heat over the fire,
pour in one pint of sweet milk to each
gallon of molasses. The impurities will
rise in scum, which must be taken off
before broken by boiling.
Saving in the kitchen tells upon the
income and makes the bank account
heavier, but there is one saving that ex-
ceeds even these, and that is that the
wife and mother save herself.
The elasticity of cane chair bottoms can
be restored by washing the cane with soap
and water until it is well soaked and
then drying thoroughly in the air, after
which they will become as tight and firm
as new, if none of the canes are broken.
RICE PUDDING WITHOUT EGGS.-One
cup of rice, well washed; one cup of
rich milk, one-half cup of sugar, one
teaspoonful of salt, raisins if liked; flavor
as you like best. Put all together in a
buttered dish OF pan, and bake in slow
oven about two and half hours until
the rice is we'll cooked. To be eaten
warm or cold with butter or cream; also
good with any plain sauce.
In making pies it is seldom one can
guess the exact quantity Of crust; al
most always there is little over. If
this is set away it will probably sour and
be thrown out, as it deserves, but made
into a few tarts baked with the fire that
cooks the pies, it is well used; besides,
how the children's eyes sparkle, for what
child does not like starts for tea.

A CORRECTION.

EDITOR BULLETIN:
Permit me, through your valuable
columns, to correct an error in the
last issue of the Paradise of the
Pacific. That paper says:
1.-THE 9th instant, Thanksgiving
Day, is the anniversary of the un-
folding of the first Pythian flag in
this Kingdom" Sin 1885,"
The word "first" IN the foregoing
is an error; the word "second"
should take its place. The first
Pythian flag in this, or any other
kingdom, was unfurled on the 10Th
day of February, 1872, by Oahu
Lodge No. / the occasion being the
laying of the corner stone of the
present Government Building. 1t
has since appeared on other public
occasions, and is still in the posses
sion of the pioneer lodge of the Pa
cific.
With the best wishes for the pos
SCISSORS of the second, as well as for
those of the first flag,
