A OHILDLEss HOME.

Smith and his wife have every luxury
that money can buy, but there is one
thing lacking to their happiness. Both
are fond of children, but no little voices

self in good health. If she suffers from
female weakness, general debility, bear

that she cannot hope to have healthy
children. DIR. Pierco's Favorite Pre-

began with the growth of the city and
they have been the means of its wonder
full growth. The very earth vibrates
with the stir of the great enterprises
constantly in motion. Numerous small
buildings containing five or six stiries
are being taken down to make
room for the adequate fifteen and twenty
stOried structures. They need no Eiffel
tower to see the surrounding country.
But one thing l greatly desire which
they do need-the towering peak of the
mountain back of Burr and Burton sem

energy may extend some day to remov-

to add to the attractions of the fair.

Mr.. Sheldon speaks of the recent
death of Mrs. William Haswell, with
whom he boarded while attending school
at Bennington Centre. He pays CRATE
full tribute to her memory and expresses
the feelings of all who knew her when
he says: She was one woman of thous-
and, always kind, gentle and sympa-
thetic. Could this world be filled with
such, what Heaven on earth it would
be. ED.

A HoUsEKEEPER's EXPERIENCE.

"My house cleaning looked like a noun
tain, but had used Pearline for some
things, and in my desperation l resolved
to experiment still further with it. My
first step was to wash the winter blank
cts and the blanket wrappers of the fam
lily. took One-half a small package of
Pearline and poured pailful of boiling
water on it, stirring it meanwhile.
could not wait for every particle to dis
solve, so strained it through an old
towel into tub two-thirds full of Cdrm
water, put my blankets into this and let
them remain about twenty minutes or
half an hour, stirring them about every
few moments. l then lifted them out
into another tub of clear water of the
same temperature as the first, and re-
peated the stirring process for a few
moments. Lastly, lifted them into a
third tub of water still of the same TEN.
perature with a little blueing added
and folding them nicely, loosened the
tension on the wringer and wTung them
lightly through it, taking them one at q
time as soon as finished to the line anC
hanging evenly across the middle, being
careful not to stretch them over the line
but pull and stretch them below, thai
they might be even. The wrapper:
were treated in the same way, and hung
over the line by the back seam, ant
when nearly dry each front edge pinned
evenly to the line. All dried to look anC
feel like new.
Il then descended to the cellar, aHC
gathered up every washable thing, emp J
firkins and crooks, preserve jars tina

pals, ETC., and all emerged sweet ant

Shelves were cleaned with it, and i
took the place of strength for removing
dirt. Ascending to the chambers, whel
the carpets were up Pearline left m!
floors and paint clean and sweet withou
hard scrubbing, slop, or sand.
"All the washable draperies, includ
ing the ones of the parlor, were treated
the same as the blankets, with the ex
ception of little boiled starch added {,
the blueing water. The lace draperie
were hung lengthwise, and old sheet
were first hung over the line, to whicl
the laces were fastened.
"In a word: wherever strength wa
needed | let Pearline do the work, an,
you would hardly believe what it coul,
accomplish, and what saving of labor
time and patience it proved"

THE STARRY HOST.

The countless stars which to our human eye
Are fixed and steadfast, each in proper

Forever bound to chargeless points in

Rush with our sun and planets through the

And like a flock of birds still onward fly;
Returning never whence began their race.
They speed their ceaseless way with gleam-
ing face.
As though God babe them win Iufnity,
All. whittier. whittier is their forward fl ght

BREAKING THE NEWS TO HER.
How tho Queen Consort Heard of King
knlakaua's Death.

MANY women and men had been buslly
engaged in decorating the palace for his
Maiesty's reception, SAYS Honolulu letter
10 the San Francisco Chronicle. They had
been assembled FOR several days ana
worked under the Queens personal super
vision. Early on the morning OF January
goth the willing hands began Their labor OF
love. .s
Soon the Queen appeared at the top OF
the wide. marble staircase of the main hail
clad in a haloku, the native dress. Slowly
and stately she Joined the workers, con-
tributing smiles and salutations TO all d,
Standing among the native workers and
directing them to add touches here ana
there, she was n picture OF majesty put
while every inch queen she seemed 20
take an almost childish delight IN the
thoughts of the qualification with when
the King would greet her work.
"Ue will be so pleased" she said.
The Hon. Samuel Parker entered and an
nounced 10 her Majesty that the Charles
ton had been reported of Hoko Head. Al
This intelligence work ceased, and the at
pendants read in the face of Mr.. Parker the
sad news he had come To break,
"Ah! my King has prepared surprise
for me and shall not be outdone. Why
devon stop your labor! Begin again and
we will finish before his Majesty arrives
said the Queen, and she began with her
own hands to entwine some mali In the
meshes of the rich drapery.
But. your Majesty said MIR. Parker,
1.-THE flags on the Charleston are at half
mast. aud am afraid something has hap
paned." ..-s--
How sad They must be mourning for
some one who has died aboard, y answered
the Queen. 49,.
But the Hawaiian flag is at half-mast
also, your Majesty
All my King should grieve with them
should any one be dead"
The attendants understood the worst,
hut Kapiolani refused to understand, and
still urged them to complete their decora-
tion.
All were silent and bowed their heads,
hut Mr. Parker broke the silence, and IN a
calm, sympathetic voice announced to the
Queen the death of the King. The transit
tion from the simplicity of her delight to
the paroxysms of grief was so sudden
that she almost tainted, and would have
fallen to the floor had not loving arms
supported her. She gave shrek and
began wailng in mournful and most pitt
full manner.
Others added their cries of wailing 70
the sad and bitter moaning of the Queen
and the scene brought tears to the eyes OF
the strongest present. MIR. Parker wiped
the tears from his eyes, and raising the
Queen supported her to her apartments.
