The concert at Kawaiahao
church on Saturday evening was q
great success. 1t was more. 1t
was a most convincing evidence of
the steady progress that is being
made by well-directed efforts in
developing the taleats of the rising
generation of Hawaiian females.
Here was a gathering of about l2O
girls from six to eighteen years of
age, everyone attired in white,
and presenting as attractive
and refined an appearance as
any school of young ladies
in America or Europe could
present. The singing of some of
the songs, "The Fishermen" and
"The Rustic Dance in particular,
could not be surpassed by the same
number of voices with correspond
ing ages in any part of America
or Europe. And this singing was
not in their native bat mostly in
an acquired language, the English.
Strangers who were present, and
half the audience was made up of
foreigners, must have been sur
prised at the perfection of this ac-
complished band Of Hawaiian song
sters. Her Majesty the Queen, in
the two Hawaiian songs composed
and set to music by herself, which
were well executed by the young
ladies, has added a leafiet to the
laurel wreath that already en-
circles her brow, US "Hawaii's
Royal Poetess." Prof. Berger, as
musical director, whose baton acted
like a magic charm to electrify the
voices of the young ladies and the
sweet instruments of his stringed
band; Miss Patch, the indefatigablc
music instructor of the seminary,
and Miss Pepoon, the business
manager and principal of the insti-
tution-al deserve and will receive
the highest praise that can be
given them by the large audience
that was present. God bless the
teachers and pupils of Kawaiahao
Seminary.

BOGUS CONDENSED MILK.

Of all the Protean forms which
food adulteratson can assume, and
vast as the range is in which this
worst Of all fraudulent practices is
carried on, there is none which. for
cold blo0ded v,llainy, can compare
with the foisting of spurious milk
on the public. Milk holds UNIQUE
place in domestic consumption, IN
asmueh as it is pre-. eminentiy the
food Of the Invalid and the infant,
in short, OF those members of the
family whose systems demand she
most perfect nutrition. and who
are least able to counteract the
effects Of trashy or poisonous arti-
cles of diet. Milk for which a fair
price is paid, and which comes
from respectable dairy, can
nearly always DO depended upon
to be worth what it is paid for It,
and even that which is sold for five
cents Il quart will, for the most
part, contain the necessary ele-
ments of nutriment, though in
lesser degree than the more expen-
sive article. But what are we TO
say of condensed, or canned milk,
which contains no elements of
nutrition whatever2 1t can hardly
be credited that any manufacturer
or jobber of such IN article could
conduct his business In civilized
community, yet the last few days
have furnished indispntable evi-
dence that such is the ease. Prom
notifications made to the proper
authorities, the Health Officer has
condemned twenty-fOur dozen cans
of condensed milk" of the Ele-
plant Brand, found during the
week at grocery stores
The condensed milk was nothing
more than kind of axle grease
looking preparation, consisting Of
terra alba (whlte clay) and other
deleteriOuS substances. The OH
cials should lose no time in samp-
Ing and anaIyzing every cheap
brand upon the market, notifying
the public of the names of the
worthless one, ascertaining from
the jobber who manufactures them,
and promptly prosecuting the eul-
prit. Health Officer Keeney says
he believes that this condensed
milk was an elephant on some
ones hands, and that, like the
manufacturers of the rotten canned
salmon, they put up big lot and
then went out of the business. He
hopes to arrest the manufacturers
This Elephant Brand. he says, sold
for ten cents can, and that good
condensed milk has never been
made for less than fifteen cents q
can. The best quality, such as the
Highland Brand sells for about
twenty cents cans. F. News

staircase.
Several three-roomed cottages
will be built nearer to the brink of
the crater and the present fence in
front of the hotel will be removed.
The stables, carriage house, provi-
sion stores, etc, will be built on
the bluff at the back Of the hotel,

the man building rooted with COR
rugated iron and provided with
tanks, will supply the upper story
with water, as we'll as, supplement
the general supply. The steam
from the sulphur springs will be
led into comfortable bath rooms on
the side nearest to them. The
whole hotel, cottages, etc., W i'll be
rooted with iron.
Already vehicles can be driven
the whole distance from the Kau
landing to the site of the hotel, and
on the Hilo side the most difficult
half of the work is done.
Indeed every thing promises

soon after, and we hope that by
that time the crater may have
begun to resume its usual charac-
teristics and bring successive
groups of tourists to help in keep

A Contrast.-Prohfbition vs. Ii
ceHSe.

The Iowa penitentiary it is sand
is almost empty. The Ohio peni-
Tertiary has over 1860 convlcts
Iowa has "crazy," +" cranky
/" visionary impractical" puri-
tanical" prohibitory law.
Ohio has @practical law
which Iegalizes the crime-pro-
ducing traffic in rum and regulates
its evils by the restraints OF restric-
tious" and thus keeps her prisons
well filled with eonvicts.
Lord Chief Justice of England
is of opinion that "two-thIrds of
the jails could be shut up if the
country could be kept sober. "
Prohibition says keep them stber
and the penitentiaries and jails
empty. License says let them
drink, get drunk, commit crimes
and. thus keep the prisons well
filed with convicts. There can he
but little doubt that if protested
Christians and temperance people
would unite their votes and intiu
ence so abolish the rum traffic it
would be done, and other states as
we'll rs Iowa could be blessed by
prohibltory laws and their jails and
prisons kept comparatively empty.
Ii we can abolish the cause of so
much misery and crime and will
not do it. What shall he our re-
ward? He that knOweth his
masters will and doeth it not shall
be beaten with many stripes" So
I take 1t that Christians aud tenn
perance people who sustain the
licensed rum shop even by silence
must certainly come i'll for large
share of the " strlpes, as they are
surely respons BILE, though indirect
ly, for most OF the misery and crime
caused by the rum traffic. Their
sin is the sin of omission. They
can prevent the evil but won't do
it for some unaccountable reason.
Under this showing let me ask
who are we working for, the Great
Master to maintain love and happi-
ness in the world, or for Satan to
multiply sin, misery and crime?
Society licenses the rum-shop,
rum-shops breed criminals, and
society imprisons or hangs them,
and this is the work Of protested
Christian. civilized society.
Let all ask ourselves, for how
much of this am responsible"
How much will my prayers and
pretence assist the Master to check
sin, misery and CRIME In the world?
Are we really helping Satan do his
dirty work of destroying both the
bodies and souls of men through
the instrumentality of the rum
shop?
1t looks so. J. NJ. HoRNER.

1t is claimed that an Eastern
chemist has discovered a process
for making soap from corn. The
discovery promises to revolutionize
the art of soap making. The pro-
duct is said to be absolutely pure,
and better than the finest toilet
soap now made.
The word milliner" is said to
have originated in the fifteenth
century, when the city of Milan
held the primacy in the world of
dress and fashion, and gave to En-
rope the NODES" as Paris has
done IN more modern times. But
although in this respect the center
of gravity has shifted, an English
traveller tells that you have only to
enter one of the handsome Milan
csc shops to be convinced that the
milliner in Milan is by no means
moribund.

they contain, they can only be re-
garded as the sophisticated records
of forgotten intrigues compiled by
the deepest and most unscrupulous
intriguer of his time. Mr.. White
law Reid reproduces the portrait
of Talleyrand, as drawn by French
historians, somewhat as follows.
A profigate priest who owed his
start in life to an ilI-favored joke
about the immortality of Paris.
A bishop who was forced into the
public journals to explain that the
money he had recently made IN
gambling was not won in gambling
houses, but in clubs, and that it
was only 100000. and not 60 or
100000. as reported.
A confidential friend of Mirabeau
yet accused OF poisoning him.
For years a Minister of Napo-
leon, and his intimate, suspected of
plot to assassinate him.
Minister of Foreign Affairs under
the Directory, be plotted for the
coup d. etat" of Napoleon, con-
spired with Russia and Austria to
defeat his plans, plotted for the re-
turn of the Bourbons, and while in
office under Louis XVIII. schemed
for his overthrow. and for the ac-
cession of Louis Philippe.
The Constituent Assembly for
babe his return to France. Pitt
expelled him from EngIard. Wash
ingten refused to receive him in
America. The Pope exeommuni,
Gated him.
Yet be again became Minister of
Foreign Affairs in France, returned
to England rs Ambassador, threat
ened the American Minister Plene-
potentiary in Paris, received the
Pope's benediction and died in the
odor of sanctity.
Now 1t is only fair to hear what
TaIIeyrand has to say for himself:
"As I now, in my SD year, call to
mind the numerous events of my politi-
cal life, which has itself been long, and
weigh them, on the eve OF entering into
eternity, 1 find as the result:
''That OF all the Governments l have
served, there is not one to which have
not given more than have received.
"That l have never abandoned any,
until it had, first of all, abandoned it
self.
"That 1 have never considered the in
terests of any party, my own, or those OF
my friends, before the true interests OF
France, which besides are never, in my
opinion, contrary to the true interests of
Europe.
"This judgment, for which am alone
responsible, will, 1 hope, be confirmed
by all impartial minds; and should this
justice be refused me, when l am no
longer living, the conviction OF its truth
will yet serve to brighten my last
days. :"
We must still, says the Times,
look elsewhere for the real Talley-
rand, and perhaps, as he himself
has so willed it, history will always
look in vain. For his apology we
must turn to the saying of Goethe
that "the man of action has no
conscience"
For his character we need look
no further than the scathing cpl
gram of Victor Hugo:
Noble like Machiavel, a priest
like Gondi, unfrocked like Fouche,
witty like 'Yoltaire and limping
like the devil"

New Coins.

WASHINGTON, April 6.--Director
Of the Mint Leech will issue a cir
cular tomorrow to artists for new
designs for subsidiary coins. The
general features of the present
coins will be preserved to q con-
siderable extent. The coins to be
changed are the silver dollar, half
dollar, quarter-dollar and dime.
These changes are to be made
under the act passed at the
last session of Congress, which
appropriated $4,000 for the
purpose, and is available July LIST.
Director Leech thinks that from
100000 to 100000 of the I'M
available assets Of the S20,000,00O
now in the Treasury can be re-
coined with this appropriation,
The gold coins are considered sat
isfactory, and, it is thought, will
not be changed. The designs after
being selected, will not be changed
for twenty-five years.

a Miser's Treasure Wen Kept

A Miser's Treasure Vel Kept.
New YoRK, March p. The
death of Charles f. ChiekeriDg, the
piano manufacturer, in New York
yesterday, recalls one Of the most
remarkable incidents on record.
James Henry Paine, who died on
December %, 1885, in the attic OF
No. III Blocker street, in New
York, was known as s. Old Miser
Paine" and some time had elapsed
after his death before the fact was
revealed that, through his vast
fund of musical information and
consequent close acquaintance with
Mr.. Chickering. he had, late IN the
sixties, confded to the keeping Of
the latter a very valuable package
OF whose contents or their value
Mr.. Chickering knew nothing At
the time.
From his knowledge of the faes
that there was q contest over Mr.
Paine's missing will Mr.. CHECKER
ing was led to open the bundle he
had kept for twenty years in bis
private safe for the old man, and to
discover that it contained gold and
silver dollars, bank-notes BY the
thousand, certificates Of stock and
scrip amounting to over 500, coo
altogether. All this Mr.. CHECKER
ing turned over to the duly aecre-
dlted heirs.

Through that long dark stretch Of
thousand years lying between the Fifth
and Fifteenth centuries the greatest
luxuries were books. So costly were
they that it was next to impossible for
any but the richest to procure such ex-
pensiye treasures, the more's the pity,
since but inches Of information, so to
speak, remain to tell the story Of their
worth and the tale of wonderful gar
niture, both binding and ornamentation
revealing the peculiarly rich and varied
handicraft then in vogue.
Much of the transcribing Of the period
was done hy residents Of religious
houses; boards of hard wood, over which
leather was stretched, inclosed these
precious treasures, and further protec-
ton by metallic corner pieces and mass
i've clasps preserved the leaves from in
jury.
Literary treasures intended for royal
households and ecclesiastical diontaries,
and copies for churches and monasteries
had side castings of ivory on which APP
propriate subjects were carved in silver,
of quaint fretwork pattern, and other
wise distinctjvely honored by the ad-
dition of gold plaques, studded with
gems and jewels. Both sets and single
volumes were carefully incased in boxes
