The Lily as Fnnh.

In a lecture to a girls assemblage not
long ago, Professor Ames of Columbia Col
lege, said that in some parts of India the
lily is actually used as an article of diet.
1t has been found by the botanists to be a
highly nutritious article of food, being pc
culiarly rich in heterogeneous compounds.
The poor Indian, who evidently "consid-
ers the lilies" from a astronomical point
of view, either eats them as a vegetable or
kneads them with dough and makes them
into cakes. In either form they are de-
clared to afford most substantial and
nourishing repast, and the aesthetics of ten
years ago, when accused of Giving on
lilies" would certainly have been enabled
to return the laugh against their torment
ors if they had known the culinary attri-
butes of their cherished flower. Mark the
result Of the Professors information: At
stylish luncheon recently given by an
enterprising belle, stewed lilies were one
of the novel dishes. They tasted like an
amalgam of spinach and cabbage and were
not very dainty, but they are bound to
have vogue for while, anyhow.

SAN Francisco, January 26th.-The
steamer Australia arrived yesterday with
Honolulu papers up to the 18th of January.
Only one topic claims the attention of
the islanders, and that Is the coming cleo
ton, which viii be a fierce contest.
The following is from the volcano at
Kilauea:
A ring-shsped depression in the floor of
Kilauea, with a cone fifty or ninety feet
high in the center of the ring, and lake of
LIQUID fire in the ring-shaped depression on
the west side of the cone. are in general
what the volcano proper has been for the
las; six monthG or so.
The only change which has transpired
within this period is the formation (Which
took place early in November, 1889 of a
crack IN the floor of Kilauea cunning about
northwest and southwest. The crack ex-
tends across the entire circular floor of the
crater, cutting small segment-shaped frag-
ment off from the main floor OF the north
side This fissuEe is perhaps mile long,
from one to five feet wide, and say fifty feet
deep. Fresh lava has pushed UP from the
bottom of this rent.
The surface of the ring. shaped depression
bordering the lake of fire sank somewhat
at the time of the formation of the crack,
or as consequent upon it, and, as is pre-
sumed, the central cone, and even the lake
itself, sanE somewhst on the same OCCASION.
Molten laza, deep doy7n under the,foor of

formed in November, and SO tie central
lava reservoir, drawn OF little, the Gene

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Good News for the Nominees of the CAL
ifornia Representatives.

UOrnia representatives.
WASHINGTON, January 26th.-The Secre-
tsry of the Treasury has decided point on
the terms of officials under his jurisdiction
which will bring JOY to the nominees of
the California Representatives. Up to this
time it has been held that the terms of
those now in Office began from the time of
their confirmation and not their appoint
ment. This ruling has shut out the nomi-
nees for several months. Secretary Win
dom, however, now states that in his opin-
ion terms begin from the date of appoint
ment.
The point was made in considering the
case of Paris Kilbourne, recommended for
Surveyor of the Port at San Francisco, and
his appointment may be expected at an
early date. The other California nomina-
tons that have been held in will follow in
order.
The Board of Managers of the Soldiers

urged to make the allowance for the yet
