enough to 90; but she had never cared
before. She ceased to wonder what
the girls were thinking of Amy's quiet
gown, and wondered instead what Amy
must think of her gaudy attire.
Whatever Amy thought, she did not
even show that she noticed it, aud
nothing more was said on the subject.
But Anna had learned lesson
which no one else had been able TO
teach her, and her months visit in
Amy's beautiful home served to en-
force it. She saw that girls could have
handsome clothes without caring very
much about them. She found that
Amy and her friends talked very little
about dress, but were bright and intel
ligent in conversations in which she
was too ignorant to join.
In short, her eyes were opened. She
awoke to the possibilities of life; and
the trifes, which had hitherto filled her
mind, sank into significance in COM
parison. Her desire to earn money for
fine clothes was gone. She went home
but, as soon as possible, she started out
in her quest for knowledge, which
marked a new era in her life.
To- day she is strong, cultured
woman, whose life is an inspiration tc
all about her. She seldom talks about
herself; but whenever she thinks OF
the past, she thanks God for sending
her Cousin Amy at just the right time
"I'm afraid | should never have
known my Stiffness and vanity" she
says, " if it had not been for the glove
shop and Cousin Amy."-Christidr

A well-known citizen of Hartford,
Conn, few days ago had taken his
seat in the afternoon train for Provi-
dence, when a small. weazen-taced
elderly man came into the car looking
for seat. The gentleman good-na-
turedly made room for him by his side,
and the old man looked him over from
head to foot.
"Going to Providence?" he said at
length.

improvement of the Theater.

Error long disabled the theater from
offering pleasures which might be en-
joyed with self respect, but it is inter
estingly noticeable that of late the the
alter has been somewhat better advised,
and at the moment the newsstand has
begun to topple on the edge of the pit
the drama has been trying to climb out
of it. The theater is still very coarse.
very shameless, but we think It has
really some impulses to purge and live
cleanly, which ought to be encouraged
by all who know its vast influence.
AS we have often said, it addresses
the weaker intelligences, and not the
cultivated, except on rare occasions.
But apparently the newsstand also adj
dresses the weaker intelligences, and
the acted fiction has been growing NOR:
ally better, while the printed fiction
has been growing morally worse. till
now there is much less to choose be-!

HAWAIIANS DISCOURAGED.
Dung SpreckeIs Thinks Annex
alton the Only Way to the
Islands Prosperity.

CHICAGO, Nov. GA. B. Spreck-
els, en- route to New York to meet
his father, Claus Spreckels, who is
to arrive from Europe, is in the
city. "The Hawailans are a dis
couraged lot" said Mr.. Spreckels,
"and they cannot see their way
clear to prosperity in any other way
than by annexation. With the
removal of the tariff on sugar and
the offering of 2 cents per pound
on all sugar produced in the United
States, the islands have lost the
advantage they had over the pro-
ducers here, in Cuba, and in the
Philippine Islands. The trouble
is that labor is dear in the islands.
The natives are dying out and the
islands have to depend on Chi
nese, japanese, Portuguese, and
laborers from other coun.
tries. While the people regard
this Government as one most
friendly to them, they think faith
was broken with them in taking
away this advantage, and the OBJ
ject of King Kalakaua's visit to
this country was to lntercede in
behalf of the sugar interests, when
death overlook him in San Fran
cisco" Spreckels also said the
house of Spreckels would never be
coaxed into the Sugar Trusts. F.

Unique Ways of Suicide.

The shocking testimony at the state
house which went to show that we are
poisoning ourselves to death with our
wall paper, our paper boxes and a
dozen other articles of daily use which
contain arsenic, has been talked about
a great deal lately, even at o'clock
teas, when people generally balance
their cups in the air and talk about
nothing at all. There is a broad sug-
gestion for fiction writers in this matter
For instance, the testimony at the state
house showed that a lady had been
dangerously poisoned by a green paper
box that she kept on a shelf in her
sleeping room. Now if one wants to
commit suicide quietly, what better
way than to have paper Of undOubted-
ly arsenic cOlOrs pasted upon ones
walls, and leave some green paper
boxes lying carelessly about ones
rooms and wear clothes that are dyed
with arsenic?
Or if any lady wants to murder an
other for instance let her send her a
present of a handsome new bonnet in
a green paper box which is heavily
charged with arsenic and so prepared
as to transfer its deadly elements to the
atmosphere of the room at once. OF
course the recipient of the bonnet
would keep the box around for several
days, and meantime the deadly work
would be done. 1t is rather strange
that this method of destruction has not
been hit upon before. Murderers and
novelists are slow to utilize the resour-
ces of civilization. Boston Transcript.
