They Don't Speak Now.

There is an old farmer out in Jersey,
says the New York Recorder, who has as
great detestation offlirting as was ever
cherished by the mikado himself and it
was great shock to him one evening at
church when he caught his 14-year-old
daughter exchanging glances and smiles
with neighbours son couple of years
older. The old gentleman unused over
the problem all the way home, and final
ly hit upon an expedient which he only
awaited the opportunity to put into prac-
tice.
This was not long in coming. AS he
turned corner of the road the next day
he caught aIglimpse of the young couple
in the road ahead of him, walking along,
hand in hand, and even as he paused,
speechless, he saw them exchange kiss.
That settled it.
With few strides he had overtaken
the culprits and was marching them off
to his barn, which stood in prominent
position close by the high road.
A shout brought out the hired man,
and in twinklikg the old granger had
slipped an ox-bow over the victim S
heads. Then he seated them on the
doorstep and kept them there for one
mortal hour, calling the attention of all
passers-by to "my two calves I'm break
in i'm
At the end of the time he released the
prisoners, who made all haste to put as
much distance between one another1as
possible.
And now they don't even speak when
they pass by.

A SONG FOR THE CHILDREN.

Oh, if | could
Sing the song l would.
DO you know what that song would bep
'Twould be one to ring
And joy to bring
From the east to the western sea.
The children all
Its clarion call
Should echo with hearts grown glad.
And everywhere
Its CHEEKY air
Make sorrowing souls less sad.
1t would hold the note
Of the linnet's throat
And the meadow-lark's trill of glee
And the katydid's dear
Little chirp, and queer,
Quaint chime of the chick-a-dee.
The cricket's CHR
And the velvet whir
Of butterflies wings; and the hum
Of busy bees
And the talk of the trees
When the wild winds wandering come.
The sound of the sea
In its rhymthm would be,
and the drip of the brier-bound rlll,
And the broken dream
Of the old mill-stream,
Fettered, but foam free STILL
he flutter of the fleet,
Fine fairy feet,
That dance till the dawn appears:
And the surge of corn
In the summer morn,
Rustling its golden spears.
The lisp of the wheat,
And the whispers sweet
When the clovers their secrets tell,
The Scamper from school
To swim in the pool,
The tinkle of supper-bell.
The rush of the rain
At the window pane,
When the earth is parched with drought
The clinking hail
OF pearls in the pail,
Sweet for the baby's mouth.
The flare of the fire
When the flame leaps higher,
The cracking of nuts in its glow;
The crinkling, aloof,
Crisp creep on the roof,
When the frost steals up like foe.
The silvery swing
OF skates that ring,
The laughter merry and gay;
And the drowsy prayer,
By mammals chair,
At the close of lovely day;
Kate NJ. Cleary, in N. Y. Ledger.

his wife has never seen him or received

For two years the plucky little woman

children. Not one word did she say of
her husbands desertion, and the outside
world knew nothing of her trials.
Her first information of his death was
Saturday morning, when she received a
telegram from her husbands brother
asking about the interment of the body.
''SEND HIS BODY H0ME."

Gen. J. B. Weaver, the third party
candidate, was provost marshal at Pu-
laski, Tenn, during the war, and his
cruelty to the people in that vicinity has
not been forgotten. He took advantage
of his position to tax and otherwise i'm
pose on the citizens of Pulaski as we'll as
on neighboring towns which fell under
his foraging and tyranny. Men were
arrested and imprisoned on trumped-up
charges, which could not be proven, and
were only released on the payment of the
ransom. A tax was levied by Weaver to
yankee soldiers and refugees. Stock was
stolen, smokehouses robbed and every
indignity imposed on the people of Giles
county. Weaver was merciless foe
and exercised his authority in brutal
and cruel manner.

Quakeress who has made a study
of medicine. In the United States,
where she is quite famous, she is
looked upon as a great authority
on hygiene, and deservedly so, for
her life's work has been the study
of the natural laws, which if fol-
lowed, ensure to those who obey
them a life Of health and comfort.
Though a graduate of one of the
leading medical colleges, her prac-
tice consists more in telling people
how to avoid disease than in the
cure Of ailments. Her addresses
are principally for her own sex,
and are always given to select
audiences, for it is the intelligent
alone that can derive benefit from
her advice. Her talks are plain,
simple, common sense expositions
of the laws of health, entirely free
from the mysticism that is some
times used to impress the lay
mind without instructing it.
Hearing that she was COM
ing to Honolulu, many of the
leaders of society here who had
heard of her work in the United
States, united in a request to Mrs.
Potts to deliver a lecture, and as
sured her that she would meet with
a hearty reception. Among the
ladies who requested her to address
the people of Honolulu are Mrs.
Anna G. Dole, Mrs. A. McWayne,
Miss Margaret A. Carroll, Mrs. B.
NJ. Hebron, Mrs. Mary S. Whitney,
Mrs. Chas. T. Gulick, Mrs. Emma
L. Dillingham;, Mrs. T. Ward, Prof

mer, Mrs. w. G. Irwin, Mrs. Cor

Castle.
DR.. G.. E. Harrison, who is at the
Hawaiian Hotel, has the affairs Of
Mrs. Longshore Potts in his charge
and he has gratefully responded tC
the request, on behalf Of Mrs. Potts
by arranging for her appearance
though it was her intention to res
while she was here. He announces
that she will lecture at the Royal
Hawaiian Opera House next Thnrs
day afternoon. Only ladies are in
vited to hear her and there will b.
no admission fee charged. The
best seats will be reserved for hold

WHO Is RESPONSIBLE e?

The attempt to make it appear
that the Legislature is responsible
for the delay in the formation of a
Cabinet is almost too absurd to re-
quire refutation, and the PROPOSE
ton can impose on none but the
ignorant or the unthinking I'M
mediately after the vote Of want of
confidence the Legislature began
the practice of adjourning from
day to day. No Ministry being
appointed, it took three days adj
journment. 1t then took a further
adjournment of one day and as
there was still no Cabinet, nor any
signs of one, it finally adjourned
for six days upon the motion of one
of the leaders of the Palace party
itself. There is but one cause for
the delay and that is the great diff
ficulty which the dismissed Minis
tiers are finding in naming their
successors. This assumption by
the present Cabinet of the power to
nominate the next is constitution
alinnovation of doubtful usefulness,
but it would be unfair not to make
some acknowledgment of the be-
nevolent motives which dictate it.
Cabinet making is a laborious bus
mess, and the philanthropic at
tempts of Their Excellencies the
Minister of Finance and the At
torney-General to relieve the Oppo-
sition leaders of all anxiety and
responsibility in the matter is a
new and original way of heaping
Goals of fire upon the heads of their
enemies.

SUNDAY LEGISLATION IN GERMANY.

According to the New York Ma
ton the new Sunday laws in Ger
many have not proved a brilliant
success. There is no doubt that
the great and increasing amount of
Sunday work now done in Germany,
and indeed in other countries, is
serious evil, and legislation intend
ed to check it is entirely within its
proper sphere The motive of such
legislation should Of course be
purely secular. This does not APP
pear 10 have been the case in Ger
many, where the measure adopted
limited Sunday work to five hours,
prohibiting it altogether between
the hours of 10 and y, or during
church time. The result appears,
however, to have been that
the workmen and shop keep
ers who had previously worked
until 2 and then gone home, now go
to the saloons and beer-houses be-
tween 10 and II, and then work
again until 2. The result is therefore
that the homes lose and the saloons
gain, while the number of church
goers, which was especially in
tended to be increased, is not
affected at all. This unwished-for
result might very easily have been
anticipated. There is no use in
trying to legislate people into
church when there are any other
places accessible which they prefer
to go to.

: FACTION vs.. LAW.

The ADVERTISER has constantly
contended that the constitutional
presidents Of countries possessing
institutions similar to our own
must guide our action whenever a
true parallel exists between the
two cases. Such precedents are
not technically law, but they are
the highest obtainable evidence
as to what the law is. Given
the system Of Cabinet respon-
sibility existing in this coun-
try, and the political prece-
dents of England, France and
Italy become at once invaluable
evidence as to the nature and re-
quirements of that system, and I'M
less more light can be obtained
from other quarters, we must read
by this which flows from them.
We still maintain that this con-
tention is eminently sound and
good law, and that it is the most
rational and logical construction
which can be put upon the Con-
stitution. It is, however, worth
while to note that the position
taken by the Opposition does not
stand or fall with this proposition.
Even if Her Majesty is not
technically obliged to entrust
the formation Of a new Ministry to
the party in the majority-a pro-
position which we hold to be alb
surd-it is still true that her neg
lect or refusal to do SO is exceed
ingly inexpedient and unwise, tend
ing not merely to produce a spirit
of bitterness and dissension, but to
defeat the will of the people and
render nugatory the plain intent OF
the Constitution. These are pro-
positions so obvious and convincing
that it is impossible to acquit Her
Majesty's present advisers of q
spirit of factious unscrupulOusness,
and a disposition to attain their
own ends by the sacrifice of every
public interest.

The incest dishes set

epicure are the outcome
of experiments by the

ways of cooking potatoes
are but the result of a de-
sire on the part of a chef
to learn the extent to
which the vegetable may
be made palatable. Taro
bears the same relations
to the potato in the vege-

susceptible CT many diff
