A Mothers Devotion.

On last Sunday occurred the death of a
remarkable freak of nature. Thirty two
years ago there was born to Silas Hall and
wife. of Parkersburg. Iowa, boy baby; it
was normally developed with the exception
that the head was large in proportion to the
body. After two years the body of the boy
did not grow. The head developed until it
was as large as that of an ordinary man
and full beard grew ON the face. For
thirty years the freak has been tied in
chair, and it had to be fed with a spoon.
Its mother was obliged to get up three OF
four times during each night to attend its
wants. 1t could never speak word, but
rewarded its mother with grateful look.
Her constant fear was lest she should die
before her boy, and no one be left to wait
on him. The other children of the family
are perfectly normal.-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.

The old fashioned division of society was
into superors, equals and interiors. One
of the rarest things in American society is
genuine courtesy toward superiOrs. TOady-
ism their is plenty Of, and it is disgusting
habit which it is unnecessary to condemn
here. The more common and less conspicu-
Gus mistake is Withholding through selfish
ness the Difference which is due superiority.
Let person of little more culture, little
better position, larger experience, be thrown
amongst us and we too often assume cold
dignity. The glorious doctrine of the
equality of all men we quote in self defense.
Unselfishness would alter this matter and
tell us to do the honest thing-and the only
polite thing-give his worth it's due and
ourselves the opportunity of gathering what
we can from his broader life. The principle
is constantly ignored in our villages and
towns The sharp lines which are drawn
between cliQues is really often. if not as
rule. the fault of those who feel their social
position to be less than that of another set
and who assume a rigid fOrmality when
thrown into their company. The manner
which shows Difference combined with self
respecting independence is one of the most
charming good society sees. The great
strain on this principle undoubtedly comes
from association with equals A man is
polite to his daily associates in proportion
as he lays aside his own claim for consider
alton and substitutes theirs. But it must
be spontaneous, natural. unpretendng UNI
Selfishness. An affectatiOu of unselfishness
giving up thing in so pronounced
manner that everybody will see that sac
rlfice has been made-is never good form.
1t calls attention to the dOer. 1t suggests
to all who see it that they have missed an
opportunity to do polite thing. 1t is in
better taste to omit doing an unselfsh thing
which one sees the opportunity for. if 1t is
going to make others feel that they have
been rude or careless. Good manners are
like dress, that is in best taste whose har-
mOny is so complete that nobody thinks of
it, Respect for opinions, tolerance with
eccentricities. kindness toward the unnter-
esting, willingness to give up comforts,
readiness to join in suggestions for social
entertainment, ignoring unpleasantness. the
daily practice of social nceties. sharing
pleasures. generosity in admiring. these are
but a few of the lines OH which unselfish-
ness works in daily life.-The Chautau

An Ohio Prisoner is Sent some Candy
Saturated with Poison.

When packages are sent to prisoners at
the penitentiary they are always opened and
examined. Jerry Lawson, Toledo pris-
Oner who is runner for the warden's Office,
has been doing this for some time past, and
very often when opening bundles or boxes
finds bananas, oranges and other fruit and
sometimes candy. 1t is temptation for
Jerry that he cannot resist to taste these
luXur eS sometimes but he thinks he has
enough of it now. Monday afternoon when
acting in this capacity he opened a box
which contained, besides other things,
candy. He did not seek the warden's per-
mission, but began eating of it, A bite was
all he wanted however. He discovered
it did not taste exactly right, and told the
warden about it. who refused to give any
of the box to the prisoner to whom it was
sent. But Jerry was not alone in his tast-
ing. Miss Cora Laugham, the stenographer.
also took some of it to her sorrow. In
about an hour Miss Laugham began to com
plain of being sick and was taken to her
boarding house on east State street. She
remained very sick all afternoon and was
unable to go to work the next morning I'M
til almost noon. In the meantime Jerry
began to complain and went to his cell,
where he began dOctoring. In his COM
plant the prison physicians were positive
he had been taking poison in some manner,
and when they were told of the candy an
tidOtes were given. but up to last night he
was unable to get out of bed. 1t is very
evident that poison had been put on the
candy and if the prisoner had eaten even a
portion of what was sent he would have
undoubtedly been among the dead now.
The case has attracted considerable atten-
ton. but up to yesterday had been kept a
secret 1t is understood the matter will be
investigated.-St Journal.

CABLE MATTERS.

The successful laying of the inter
island cable between Oahu and
Molokai, which will probably be an
nounced to-day, adds another link to
the chain which promises to bring
the five larger islands of our group
into daily intercourse with each
other. Maui and Molokai have for
several months been connected by
cable, and as soon as the telegraph
poles are erected, and the wires
stretched over the remaining ten
miles OF Molokai, daily communica-
ton can be had between Honolulu
and Waikiki on Maui.
The advantage which attends the
telegraph in other countries will
soon be as apparent here as there,
and in hundred ways which may
not now be thought of. The move.
ments of vessels, their cargoes and
passengers, may be known here as
soon as in the ports they arrived at
or leave. In case of accidents to
mills, repairs can be made in half
the time that is now required, and
long delays, with their attendant
losses, avoided. In short, we may
know what is ssanspiring every day
on each of the Raands connected by
cable with us.

The Oahu Association of Evangelical
Churches (HawaiianD began its semi.
annual meeting in Kaumakapili Church
Tuesday morning. The Moderator, Rev.
S. Kapu of Hauula and Punaluu,
preached the opening sermon from Rom
5-3. Reports from the various churches
next order: Kaumakapili reported the
purchase of parsonage, the money be-
ing given and solicited by Rev. Lowell
Smith; also the reduction of it's debt to
So 1000, and the gift of silver service fol-
the communion table from Hon. A. F.
Judd. Fourteen had united with the
church at the last communion season.
The Kamehameha School boys attend

The newspaper talk about missionaries
and missionary children has acted like a
subtle poison on the minds of some OF
the church members, prejudiced against
the grace Of the Gospel by the abusive
language of prominent political leaders.
The Pastors Aid Society has been emf
nently successful in securing regular
payment of the pastors salaries. Some
instances were mentioned of plural mar
riages among Mormons, the parties be-
ing dressed in white as as to make sure
of heavenly blessedness. A committee
was appointed to consider what addi-

the different communities against the
many evils of intemperance, gambling,

THE DAILY
THURSDAY,
]. E. BUSH'S METHODS.

There is one feature of Mr.. John
b. Bush's political methods which
every honorable journalist must con-
denim, an9 that IS his persistent,
malignant and continuous abuse of
the Rev. Henry Parker. It is not
merely the fact that Mr.. Parker is a
man of unimpeachable purity and
integrity, man who commands the
respect Of the whole community. He
is entirely out of public life, is not a
candidate nor campaigner. He
goes his own private way. The con-
slant abuse, misconstruction and in
suit to which Mr.. Bush subjects
him, week after week and month
after month, is not merely utterly
uncalled fort is utterly unac-
countable.
In any other country such conduct
would not only kill its author politi-
cally, but would make him odious
and would bury him under noun
tain of contempt.
