Tho burning Bush.

ssTalking about the power of Inn

was riding across a piece Of level
country in one of the British North
American provinces in Il stage coach
of the olden days. There was q POM

French priest and some ladies. We
were all strangers to each other. but
exchanged remarks as fellow-travcl-
crs. As we neared a horizon or
woods we saw suddenly burst Of

of the opposite window and chatted

For the fire was most decidedly
quelched. That which we had taken
for flame is known in the provinces
as "the burning bush," peculiar
foliage which burns a vivid red, be-
fore any other tree has changed its
color. As the light plays on its
leaves and the wind agitates them it
has all the appearance of a forest

seldom more than one in district.

Corn bread has various names in
different localities. The general nam,
of the article is Indian bread. IL
Delaware griddle cakes made from In.
dian meal are called corn cakes. In
Maryland they are called cookies
Pone is the name for Indian bread an
inch or more in thickness and baked
TO crisp crust top and bottom. IL
parts of New England corn meal,
baked into a thick, crisp cake, il
called Indian bannock. Tie Puritans

She Drank Human Blood.

al WONDER" writes a European
traveller, chow many Americans who
have visited the Invalidcs at Paris are
aware of tho fact that the body and
especially the heart of one single and
solitary member of the gentle sex are
preserved in that resting place of
Frances greatest military command
ers. She is 10 other than the famous
Mile. de Sombreuil, the young girl
who. during the days of the ievolu-
tionary terror of 1862, saved her
fathers life by consenting to drink a
glass of human blood. Although the
Count de Sombreuil's life was spared
on that occasion, yet lie was guillo-
tined in the following year with his
two sons. After their death Mile. de
Sombreuil succeeded in escaping to
Germany, where she married Il French
emigre, Count de Villelune, who, on
the restoration in 1916, was appointed
governor of the branch house of the
Invalldes at Avienon. 1t was there
that she died in 1928, and, when some
twenty years later, the Avignon estab-
lishment was abolished and the per-
sioners transferred TO the Invalides at
Paris, they made point of carrying
her remains along with them. These
were deposited in the vault of the pal
ace of the Invalides, where her heart,
contained III a funeral urn OF white
marble, is placed in the choir of the
chapel beside those of tho famous
Engineer Vanban and General Kie-
ber."-[New Orleans Picayune.

On an Old Som.

Lite snatch OF ancient song,
What has made thee live so lor "a
Flying on thy wings of rhyme
Lightly down the depths Of time.
Telling nothing strange or rare.
Scarce thought or image there
Nothing but the old, old tale
or a helpless lovers wall;
offspring Of an idle hour,
Whence has come thy lasting powerl
BY what turn Of rythm or phrase,
By what subtle, careless grace,
Can thy music charm our ears
After full three hundred years.
Little song, since thou were born,
In the Reformation morn,
How much great has passed away,
Shattered or by slow decay
Stately piles in ruins crumbled.
Lordly houses lost and humbled,
Thrones and realms In darkuess hurled
Noble flags forever furled,
Nisest schemes by statesmen spun,
Time has seen them one by one
Like the leaves of Autumn fall
A little song outliyes them all.

PAY YOUR TAXES.

An opinion of the Supreme Court
was rendered to the Legislature
yesterday in response to a question
propounded by that body few
days since, in regard to the pay
ment of taxes as condition of the
voting right. The Court holds that
the payment of taxes other than
personal is not necessary, such
taxes not being due until Deem
Der 18th. Nothing was said about
the payment of personal taxes, the
Legislature seeming to be perfectly
clear in it's mind on that head.
The idea of questioning the
Court as was done in this case is
absurd. There could be no reason
able doubt that payment of taxes
other than personal was not neces-
sary, because such taxes are not
due until December 18th. Whether
personal taxes must be paid is a
question which admits a reason
able doubt. Yet the Legislature
appeals to the Court on the first
topic, and asks no opinion on the
second. The folly of running to
the Court on trivial and frivolous
errands could not be more strik-
ingly exemplifed.
In the absence of any judicial
determination to the contrary, the
opinion of the Attorney-General
that personal taxes must be paid
will prevail. Those who wish to
vote at the special election next
week must pay their school tax,
road and poll tax. They cannot
be required to show their tax re-
ceipts, but they may be required
to make oath as to whether the
taxes are paid or not; and, if not,
they cannot vote.
The exercise of the franchise is
duty as we'll as privilege. Let
everyone, therefore, go to the tax
Office with all convenient speed, so
that he may be qualified to exer-
else the rights of freeman next
| Tuesday.

served will cause a good deal of
annoyance and some financial loss.
But the financial loss will be only
drop in comparison with that
which the country will net if the
cholera establishes itself here. The
truth is that Hawaii cannot
afford to take even the slightest
risk of adding to its already griev-
Gus burdens the disaster and
business paralysis which an cpl
demic like the cholera would surely
entail. The community will sup
port the Board of Health in every
measure tending to the mainte-
nance of the public health and
safety.

SEPTEMBER 81, 1892.

The House has never been so
dilatory in the transaction of bust
ness as since the new Cabinet en-
tered upon their Office. The Min
listers are not responsible for this,
but it might be well for them, as
the leaders of the House, to try
to drive at a little better pace.
Christmas is in sight, while the
end of the session is not and never
will be unless someone can get up
a little more momentum.

HEALTH MATTERS.

The Board of Health held
meeting yesterday afternoon Of
which our readers will find an ac-
count elsewhere. The measures
adopted will be found timely and
useful, if they are carried out. The
Sanitary Committee held confer
ence on Saturday with a number of
leading physicians, at which men,
bers of the Board of Health were
also present, and yesterday the At
torney-G General, with commendable
zeal, introduced a bill granting to
the Minister of the Interior author
ity to deal with the emergency.
The object of the bill is to prevent
foreign vessels from coming into
any Hawaiian port except Homo
lulu except after having been duly
authorized to proceed to their ports
of destination by the Minister. The
bill attaches very severe pen alties to
any Infringement of its provisions.

Immediately, until such time as all
danger is definitely known to be
over. With this idea, the bill
was ordered engrossed yesterday
afternoon, but, as the work
was. not completed in time, the
House adjourned, to meet this
morning at 9 A. NJ, in order that
the bill may be passed before the
Hall leaves for the windward.

THE Rice Committee reported
yesterday, and recommended that
all the bills and petitions relating
to rice be laid on the table. The
report was adopted, so that the
matter may be considered settled
for this session. Undoubtedly the
sugar industry and the public gen.
orally are being taxed to support the
rice industry, and undoubtedly this
is in theory wrong. But there are
other ways of making practice
conform to sound theory than by
putting the knife to the throat of
the second industry of the king
dom.
