Thorghatten. the famous Norwegian
mountain. has a hole extending entirely
through it from one side TO the other.
According to Norwegian legend this
same Mount Thorghatten was once hat
and belonged 60 one Thorg, herce the
name Thorghatten. It seems that IN the
mythical ages giant and giantess fell
violently III love with each other. They
were forced 20 part for q time, but
vowed thi1t they would marry IN the
near future Soon after, however, the
tickle WOMAN pledged her troth Co an
other. This angered her giant lover TO
q degree unknown to msdern men of
smaller stature He was seventy miles
from her when the eIfs brought the
news; but, selecting q good arrow, he
shot II IN her direction
Now it happened that her brother,
Thorg, was standing in direct line of the
arrows fight. IL went through his hat
and skull. killing him instantly, and fell
harmless at the feet of the faithless
giantess. She had the power Of turning
all objects into stone, and forthwith
w1led that her brothers hat become a
stone monument to the tragedy. The
cruel lover was turned to stone where
he sat astride his horse at Hestmando.
and the giantess herself petrifed at
Lecko. The two latter objects have dis
appeared, but Thorg's hat fThorghatten)
is still the object Of many curious pill
grimages.-St. Louis Republic.

JAPANESE TREATMENT.
The Hospital at the Leper Set
Element Now in Working
Order

Reports received by the board
of health from Inspector of Lepro-
sy, David Dayton, state that the
hospital is now being occupied for
the treatment of lepers under DR..
Goto's method. On May 25th sew
enteen patients entered, and others
were added during the week.
At the Bishop home it has been
found necessary to lengthen the
bath house in order to give the fe-
male patients more room. There
are now forty girls being treated at
the home. 1t has also been found
necessary to provide a heater for
the baths at the home. A heater
is also suggested for the boys
home.
The entire hospital buildings
have been renovated and white
washed inside and out, ,,and with a
few more Improvements suggested
by DR.. Goto the place will be ready
to put the japanese treatment of
leprosy to a thorough test.

Diogenes when a member
from his country to the state
legislature used to go with a
lantern, looking for an honest
man. History does not record
whether he found what he was
looking for. The trouble was
not in the legislature however
or in the men, the difficulty
was entirely with the lanterns.
By the "W. G.. Irwin" we
received more of those con-
venient crank lift lanterns
which will enable you to find
anything, even a correct solu-
ton of the present political
problem. They are made in
nickel, copper or tin and pre-
sent a very fine appearance
besides giving a good light, and

one on the handle) makes it i'm

1t has been a question in
our minds whether any dealers
in Honolulu sell more garden
hose than we do. We have de-
cided in the negative. There's
scarcely a vessel coming to
this port, but what has brought
us large quantities of a super
Tor quality of hose. We believe
our large sales now is the
result of establishing early i'll
our business career a reputa-
ton for keeping really good
articles, particularly hose.
The demand for the Fischer
Steel Range continues, and
we are sending them to the
homes of our customers nearly
every day. This last lot is OF
a better quality of steel, and
will last longer than any stove
made. A gentleman who got
one a week ago, reports that
his cook baked a cake in eight
minutes, the first time he tried
the oven.

During no period of the Ha-
waiian government has it been
more difficult to keep its accounts
clear and correct, than during the
past year, owing to the reductions
made, toward the close of the leg
islative session, in the salaries OF
government officials, and in the
amounts appropriated for some Of
the current expenses. For the
first eight months, payments had
continued under the scale of former
appropriations, but nearly all were
reduced towards the end Of he;
session, necessitatjng@1v vast deal
of clerical -ta6or in the adjust
pa1eaI1It
When it is borne in mind that
the government has been compelled
to provide half million dollars,
aside from its ordinary expenses,
to meet the unexpected demands of
depositors in the Postal Savings
bank, during the past year, the con-
dition of the public treasury at the
end of March is all that could be
expected. In doing this, not dol
lar Of the reserve of $4,000 has
been touched.
a later statement of the minis
ter of finance, published May 80,
shows a considerable amount of
cash in the treasury, not shown in
the yearly exhibit in today's paper.
We refer to the following:

deem certificates sill

1t will thus be seen that the
management of the public finances
has been conducted, since the Pro-
visional government took charge,
in creditable manner, such as is
oa1cu1ate,1 IN inSnire Dublic conf
dence. In short, the men now in
charge of the government are
among the ablest to be found in the
islands, and so long as they con-
tinue, they will be supported by all
classes. 1t is their purpose to re-
strict expenditures to actual ne
cessities, and to undertake no new
work of any kind except such as
is considered indispensable.

Now in

Tine
During the recent brief stay of the
Gaelic, it was the privilege of some
of our towns-people to meet a COM
pany of missionaries from different
fields in China and Japan en- route
to the United States. 1t is pleas
ure to note that one prominent
member Of this company has de-
cided to remain over for visit in
Honolulu. This is the Rev. DR..
Ernst Faber, name widely known
among the missionaries of China,
and among those who are interested
in the people and literature of that
great empire. He is one of the
most eminent of living sinologue
and his literary labors have been OF
a varied and extensive character.
His services in the preparation OF
Christian books and commentaries
for the Chinese have been great,
and he is still engaged in carrying
forward this good work. DR.. Faber
is now on his way to Chicago to de-
liver an address on "Confucianism"
there during the session of the
Parliament of Religions" to be
held in September next. 1t is q
be hoped that the public may hare
the privilege Of heasilng this dis
tl SlzH a.sIed missionary, during hi'
stay, on some of the topics in ref
erence to which he is so reliable al
authorizations.

THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT.

With view to counteract any
false statements Of newspaper cor
respondents or others, which may
be cent over by the Alameda's mail,
we wish to state distinctly that the
Provisional government is perfectly
solvent and selfsustaining. At no
time since the overthrow of the
monarchy has the government been
better equipped with financial re-
sources and organized military and
police aid to preserve peace and
quiet than it is today and will be
tomorrow.
The somewhat sudden demand
made upon the government a few
days ago by Spreckels' bank for
the payment of notes Of the Postal
Savings bank, amounting to $685.
600, has not affected the financial
standing of the government in the
least; on the contrary it has proved
the government has friends and re-
sources such as perhaps will prove
a disagreeable surprise to Mr..
Spreckels and the royalists. What
is more, the earnest and liberal
support thus far given the Pro-
visional government is being daily
increased, SO that by far the larger
part of the foreign and native ele-
ments are now its cordial sup
porters.

The Defendant Demurs to the
Charge of Libel.

When the case of Dir! ]. S. Nc
Grew, charged with criminal libel,
was called in the district court yes
terday morning, the prosecution an
nounced that they were not ready
for the examination to so on,
so the matter went over until 80
o'clock. Promptly at the time the
case was called up, A. P. Peterson
as counsel for the complainant,
made the charge.
General A. 5. Hartwell, for DR..
McGrew, demurred, and argued
that the item, as published in the
Star, was not libelous. Mr. Peter
son argued that it was.
After the arguments were fin
ished, Judge Foster announced that
he would consider the matter and
give his decision on next Saturday
morning at 6 80 o'clock.
