They Will Realize the Reward.

Not all the working-girls read "trash,''

the Brooklyn Standard . Mon give fair
idea of the literature they affect. 81
noticed little bevy of workings girls
coming out of a manufacturing estab-
lishment the other day." he says, land
one of them had in her hand COPY of
Current Literature. Going down on the
elevated road one morning recently the
girl sitting next to me was reading Auer-
bach's 'On the Heights while another
girl was studying photography, and a
third was reading a yellow-covered book,
which was entitled The Star of Love,
while still another working girl was
reading life Of Martin Luther. The
girls seem to be indulging in more sub
stantial reading than formerly. The free
libraries and reading-rooms and the in
crease in the facilities for obtaining good
reading are having good effects. Ten OF
more years ago traveller upon cars OF
boats who took the trouble to note what
the working girls were reading would
have found very sensational class OF
literature in their hands. There can be
no question that the tendency is toward
better class of books among those who
only have a few spare moments in which
to read. The sensational novel and the
highly-spiced serial story we still have
with US, but they do not seem to be reaG
as much by that large class of young
women who earn their own living"

Thoughts in Few Words.

The highest exercise of charity is
charity to the uncharitable.
TO shun society and be content with a
low place in life is to bury your talents.
Wet weather should not bring on
dry manner, nor dull trade blunt adj
dress.
Things are ours that we may use them
for all, sometimes that we may sacrifice
them.
Good qualities are the substantial
riches of the mind, but it is good breed
ing that sets them off to advantage.
Life is kindled only by life, and the
highest form of living can only be called
into existence in child by example.
You want be true, and you are try
ing to be. Learn these two things
never to be discouraged because good
things get on slowly here, and never to
fail daily to do that good which lies next
to your hand. Do not be in hurry, but
be diligent. Enter into that sublime pa
thence of the Lord. Be charitable in the
view of it. God can afford to wait; why
cannot we. since we have him to fall
back upon? Let patience have her per-
feet work, and bring forth her celestial
fruits. Trust to God to weave your
thread into the great web, though the
pattern shows it not yet.

Some Styles in Vogue.

Outing cloth continues in general
favor for summer dresses. They are
seen in stripes and plaids, and are stylish
cut either straight or bias.
Sleeves of the new ''chameleon"
(changeable) silk are used in silk,
wooden, and lace dresses, even when the
material does not appear elsewhere in
the dress.
The popular fancy for finish at the
throat, especially if the neck be trimmed
with lace, is two stick pins, from two to
three inches in length, with jeweled
heads, crossed diagonally.
The simplest Of China silks have the
usual rather straight skirt now in vogue,
full sleeves, and bodice shirred in sew
eral rows around the waist line and the
lower part doubled under to form a
ruffie.
The revival of quaint old fashioned
muslins, sheer lawns, delicate organdies,
pretty batistes, and the corded dimities
of our grandmother time, affords ample
of that dainty freshness which should be
the distinctive characteristic of summer
toilets.
Ribbons are used in great profusion on
summer dresses of every description; in
the graceful long-looped bows that are
always popular, in the more precise
choux, in upright bows on the shoulders,
in panel-like effects on the skirt, pro-
duced by three or five perpendicular
rows, each terminated by a bow at the
foot,-in fact in any pretty way that
fancy may dictate.

Simplicity of Expression a Rare Charm.

simplicity of Expression a Rare Charm.
From The Household.l
Young persons are often inclined to be
spend-thrifts with their words, using all
their strongest adjectives for trifles, so
that nothing is left in reserve for greater
occasions. A gentleman Of cultivation
and fine social advantages said, on re-
turning to this country, after an absence
of rs years, that nothing struck him more
unpleasantly than the deterioration of
language he observed in general CONVEX
sation. While the house had gained i'm
mensely in architecture, characterization
and domestic appliances of every kind,
and the dress in variety of elegance and
taste, the language of even well-bred
people, had been Overrun with slang ex-
pressions, eXtravagant exagerations,
distorted, far-fetched conceits. There is
a tedious straining after effect, which
shows rather the absence than the pres
ence of real wit. A young person who
talks easily, pleasantly, without affecta-
ton or slang, brings into society great
attraction. Other accomplishments are
limited in their opportunities, and in the
number who appreciate and enjoy them
but for the important one of good talk
there is constant occasion, and every
body is capable of deriving pleasure from
it, to say nothing of the good, which is
better than any mere pleasure.

you conceal from her, and never believe
for minute that when you have really
made her understand, she will not care
for what interests you. Mother isn't so
very much older than you after all-it
hasn't been such long time since she
enjoyed just what you do, since life
seemed as full of brightness as does
yours, since she made as many inquiries
and tried to think out as many problems
as you do, and once you two can meet
on this common ground, be sure that
you will have nobody who will as
thoroughly sympathize with you as
does your mother"
Now girls, isn't this easy to remem-
Der? 1t is well worth committing to
memory. Not to keep as secret, but to
tell every girl you know as good rule
to live by.

A Spoiled Batch.
from Harper's Bazar.1

From HarperS Bazaar.
The batch of bread is spoiled the dress
pattern is ruined; the best tea-set is bro
ken-and this world is wilderness, with
no truth or virtue under the sun. Let us
see. Any loss is bad; but some losses
are or e than others. There are some
things which are only gained by losing
them, and there are others which we can
not lose; spending them, they remain
in our possession. Here are wasted the
materials, the time, the labor, and the
patience. 1t was all for nothing. Is it not
fit to sit and make moan? Is it not meet
to bewail the disaster and reiterate the
particulars, with much self-reproach and
beating of the breast? The materials
are spoiled perhaps. If they are in
deed hopeless, it is best to thrust them
far away, lest they tempt the beholder
to fresh lamentation. The time?. Why
throw good time after bad? Should not
the next hour be made more profitable,
instead of less, because of the one
wasted. The patience? All! that is one
of those blessed. possessions which are
gained by spending, of which the store
is increased by paying out. And the
labor! No honest labor is really lost,
though its end we cannot see, and though
its present result may be sometimes
counted a failure. The attempt remains
to bless the worker, and spur him on to
fresh achievements. The loss is not so
great as it might be. Up, and do better

A lahorer told his wife, on awakening,
a curious dream which he had during the
night. He dreamed that he saw coming
toward him, in order, four rats. The
first was very fat, and was followed by
two Lean rats, the rear rat being blind.
The dreamer was greatly perplexed as
to what evil might follow. as it has been
understood that to dream of rats denotes
coming calamity. He appealed to his
wife concerning this but she, poor
woman, could not help him. His son, a
sharp lad, who heard his father tell the
story, volunteered to be the interpreter.
The fat rat" he said, =" is the man who
keeps the saloon that you go to SO often.
The two lean rats are my mother and
me, and the blind rat, father, is your
self"

Outdone by q Boy.
From an Exchanged

A lad in Boston, rather small for his
years, works in an Office as Grand boy
for four gentlemen who do business
there. One day the gentlemen were
chatting him little for being so small,
and said to him, " You never will amount
to much; you never can do much bust
ness, you are too small" The little fell
low looked at them. f." WE'LL" said he,
'.small as l am, can do something
which none of you four men can do"
All, what is that?' they asked. l
don't know as l ought to tell you,' he
replied. But they were anxious to
know, and urged him to tell what he
could do. 81 can keep from swearing!'
said the little fellow. There were
bushes on four manly faces, and there
seemed to be very little anxiety for
further information on the point.

CIT is possible that some people would
read delightful story of home hap
piness only to close the book think
ing they had been reading fairy
tale. Where is the model home?
Unfortunately, in some localities it
is unknown. But l am sure, with some
it is factor in every day life. Not be-
cause they have not been tempted by
many provoking occasions to indulge in
some unpleasant scene, for they are real
people and human. l know what they
did. Do you? Don't you think they
were patient and had to use tact. Per-
haps they had tact to see sometimes
that they could do nothing, and just did
that; very hard thing to do, many
times. Enemies to home happiness are
innumerable. Bolt the door against
them! But don't feel that it is done at
the first bang. Stop and think or you
will find great many things the wrong
side of the door.
Little things are often very destruc-
tive. 1t is hard to capture them. 1t re
quires patience. But don't give it up!
Some may say, it is impossible for man.
kind to be always happy. How many
make that an excuse for being always
unhappy. Where this is indolently ac-
cepted as an excuse for general grumb-
ling and continuous fault-finding, one
hardly wonders that the branches Of
selfishness grow long enough to touch
the very roof and turn down the four
square walls.
Selfishness isvery ingenious in the way
of finding room for itself. The home is
doomed where other motive power
.tramples love out of existence. II we
hunt for unpleasant things we can al
ways find them. Resolving to search
out the good things of even one day, it
is more than likely there will be no spare
moments left to find fault, say the I'M
kind word, or think of odd ways or some
mistake of those we love the best. There
is no place so dark that it can not be
made bright under loves delightful in
fluence. Smile and love! Though it
seem in vain, smile, and those around
you will. They won't? Oh, you haven't
tried it long enough. Where is your tact
and patience?

no friend with whom she is not acquaint-

What is there in the strife of earth?-
All, what In all we get, he asks,
That after all is better worth
Than just home. coming after tasks?
IT'S this for which the heavens rise,
The sun shines and the rains descend;
For this the nations agonize,
And laws are made and tyrants end.
The busy medley of the world,
Where myriads work and oilers roam,
In order ranged, in chaos whirled,
EXists-to make a human home.

MAKE HOME MEAN HAPPINESS.

There are only a few years left to love;
Shall we waste them in idle strife?
Shall we trampe under our ruthless feet
Those beautiful blossoms, rare and sweet,
By the dusty ways of life?
There are only few swift years-ah, let
No envious taunts be heard;
Make life's fair pattern OF rare design,
And FIJI up the measure with loves sweet wine
But never an angry word

Art and Science Association.

Mr.. EDIroR-On Monday next Mr..
Dan. Logan will deliver an address at
the Y. N. G. A on the subject OF "Jour-
nalism," in which he will explain the
internal working and the external in1u-
ence of great newspaper. l am also
happy to announce that Mr.. j. N. 5.
Williams has prepared a lecture on
Cheat" which he has kindly consented
to deliver at our next public meeting in
December.
May I be allowed to say word con-
corning the society under whose auspices
these lectures are given. The Honolulu
Art and Science Association was estab-
lished about six months ago. The object
it has in view is to enable young men,
engaged in business during the day. to
pursue their studies in the evening.
From the day of it's inception, the
society has met without interruption on
the evening of each Monday and Thurs
day, each session lasting two hours. In
struction has been given in geometrical
drawing, arithmetic, algebra and Eng
lish. In addition to this, lecture in
popular form has been given at every
class on various scientific subjects, on
the general and specific properties of
matter, on elementary astronomy, on the
theoryof light ,on the spectroscope, on force
and energy, and the manufacture OF high
explosives. Moreover, on the first Mon
day of each month, the society invites
the public to hear q lecture on some sub
ject connected with the arts and sciences.
On microbes, on the stars, on self
culture, on modern ordnance, on the
precious metals, with others to follow.
AS far rs I know this is the only
opportunity afforded young men in our
city for self-improvement in an educa-
tional way. 1t is certainly an effort in
the right direction, and it is to be regret
ted, think that heretofore the public of
Honolulu has not thought it worth
while to give the undertaking the en-
couragement of its attendance at the
monthly lecture.
Several circumstances have lately
combined to thin the numbers of the
members. Several beneficiary societies
it seems, have drawn few from their
work; evening engagements at the Iron
Works prevent others; infirmity of pur-
pose, when the novelty has died away
has caused some to decline sustained
effort or self-denial long drawn out; and
I think, the delirium of the dancing
school has drawn one or two from their
allegiance. We have still, suppose,
about sixteen on the books, but We have
room for ten or twelve more. And it is
to be hoped that the numbers will be
kept up-and an institution having such
a praiseworthy object shall not be suf-
fered to lapse for want of little public
interest. It is proposed shortly to form
classes in geometry and bookkeeping.
Apologizing for usurping 30 much of
your valuable space, I am, sir, yours
very faithfully,
F. M. ENGLISH.

We told you something the
other day about a little ar
rangement for keeping butter
fresh. Not much-just enough
to make you want to know
more. It's made of tin, cylin-
drical in shape, just the size of
a roll of butter. Inside is a
round stand filled with chemi-
Gals which are entirely con-
cealed from view and Just how
they have any influence on the
butter you'll have to guess !;
we can't, but they do. Besides
being useful in keeping the
butter fresh you'll find them
convenient to send to your
grocer to pack the butter in
for your use. No need of
having dusty Or melted butter
if you use one of these.
They're cheap too!

ATTENTION is called to q com.
munication on the first page which
asks, in the interest of homestead
ers, that persons already owning
land in the city be not admitted as
purchasers when ssales are made
under the Homestead Act in Homo
lulu. Thisis condition frequently
inserted as to sales in the country
districts, and there is no reason
why it should not be equally appli-
cable in Honolulu whenever sales
are made under the Homestead
Act. The matter is one which de-
serves the attention of the Minister
of the Interior.

is the production of foolish litter.

something which was never worth
printing at all. AS far as we can
surmise from its contents it seems
to be directed against the plan ters,
though any opinion as to the pur-

must necessarily be merely pro-

of the kind to which persons are

deeply into the flowing bowl.

Monday, Oct. 20, 1891.
This is the last week in
October and Autumn is fairly
with us-as fairly as it can
get in the Paradise of the Pa
cihc. With this season comes
business. Thousands of dol
lars will be spent in the King
dom between now and the Ist
of January.
We propose that a few OF
these thousands shall pass
through this store-the appeal
is to your self-interest, as the
power that will compel the
expected result.
Our Eastern and Pacific
Coast Agents have been in
structed by the management
to buy largely as they could
buy aOisely, and therefore in
asking for your business we
invite you to generous supplies
of Hardware, Fancy Goods
and Novelties of all sorts.
Mr.. Hendry's recent visit
to all the principal markets in
the United States will be Of
great value to you because in
making his selections you were
in his mind; he bought just as
if you had told him what you
wanted. You'll think his taste
is good because he secured
what you will like. If you
have a moment come in and
take a peep.
