TEMPERANCE NOTES.

And all the men and woman merely tipplers.

And one man in his time takes many quarts.
His drink being seven kinds. AT first the in

Taking the cordial in the nurses arms.
And then the whining schoolboy with his drop
Or two OF porter, just to make him creep
More willingly to school And then the lover,
Signing like a furnace over his soda
And whisky special Then soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and reelng mad with
liquor,
Noisy and brutal; sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the tiend Intemperance
Even in the gallons mouth And then the

In fair round belly, with Madeira lined:
Most elegantly drunk; superbly cornd:
Full of wise saws against the use of gin:
And so he swallows wine. The sixth drink
Shifts into the lean and bloated dram-drinSer,
a spectacle on nose, He's scorched inside;
The wretched, haggard hose a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his once manly

Cologne is really nothing less than
straight alcohol, sweetened with few
drops of some pleasant smelling oil or
essence. In cologne there is SIS per
cent of alcohol, in whisky from 40 to go

a delicate, refined woman who would
as soon drink poison as take glass of
whisky, pours down her throat In little
sips compound that is far more hurt
full in its effects, and almost as much
stronger than the whisky as whisky is
stronger than water.
The society woman, who has her
dressing tables well supplied with all
sort of cologne and toilet waters, will
tell you at the conclusion of any enter
taiument that the cologne bottles are
decidedly depleted, proving that co.

or in the more advanced period of the
habit, have been among her guests.
The silver flask, which was once
thought to be only appropriate for
wicked man, finds in the cologne

carried everywhere that she goes, and
surreptitious sips taken in all places

LoNG-DISTANCE RIDES.
The Difference Between Those In Ro-
mances and Those In Actual Life.

The Difference Between Those In no.
mances and Those In Actual Life.
Lon-distance rides have always been
a favorite subject with poets and the
writers of romance There is some
thing that seizes the imagination in
the idea OF a solitary horseman spur
ring on his steed in a race with time,
spurred on himself by terror, by hatred
or by devotion to duty. But although
they willingly treat of him it cannot be
said that they ofteu succeed in making
him very real We all know how Dick
Turpin rode to New York We also
know how Mr.. Browning brought the
good news to Ghent-after fashion al
most as apocryphal as the news itself
The recognized method, both in po-
etry and fiction, generally produces
much the same picture. The gallant
generous-hearted animal gallops on
and on, with no abatement of speed,
for the rider is always, apparently, in
Judicious enough to force the pace the
whole way; soon after the accomplish
ment of some hundred-odd miles at full
gallop, we learn that the noble steed
begins to show signs of distress-as
well he may; his ''heaving tanks are
wet with foam" his "blood-red" nos
trils are wide spread, and his labored
breath comes in great sobs. One might
imagine, from the description, that the
horse had stopped; but no, he Is still
galloping, heaving TANKS and all. One
might also suppose that the rider, per-
ceiving these symptoms, would pull up
and give his horse chance; on the con-
trary, at this juncture he makes pas
sionate appeal to the horses better
feelings, an appeal which is couched in
language too beautiful to be unavail-
ing. And so the poor beast gallops on
for another hour or so until he arrives
at his destination and drops dead with
broken heart
Even men who have ridden their
horses to standstill in the hunting
field at the same mad pace will fail to
recognize the accuracy of the descrip-
tion. In the case of long distance,
where it is the course and not the pace
that kills, the picture is ludicrously in
correct. Well, it must be confessed
that the reality is rather ugly, and does
not lend itself easily to the uses of ro-
nance; the sight of man and his
horse, crawling painfully onward, the
former still YEARLY persisting in the
useless cruelty of spur. while the lat
ter, painfully dragging one foot before
the other, droops his head miserably on
the d-jerlked rein, is not one to in
spire pleasurably the readers of ro-
nance.

Pacific coast ports to Australia, China

is put into operation, its Importance

Great Britain has always played the
part of mischief maker in Hawaiian
affairs LIVER since the elevation of
Kalakaua to the throne in 1874 Eng
fish emissaries have tried TO under
mine American influence. In 1876 the
United States succeeded in concluding
a reciprocity treaty with the Honolulu
government and secured the cession of
Pearl harbor, near Honolulu, with the
right to establish naval station at that
point. In 1889 Secretary Blaine at
tempted to create absolute free trade
between the islands and the United
States, but Volney p. Ashford, then at
torney general of the islands, managed
to defeat the negotiations by prorais-
ing the king more advantageous terms
with Canada, of which country the at
torney general was native.
When Kalallaua died, in 1891, his
sister, Princess Liliuokalani, became
ruler of the island kingdom. Although
her husband, John o. Dominis, was an
American by birth, the queen favored
England and opposed every movement

The first act of the pro-, isional gov
eminent was the appointment of the
five commissioners who are now at
Washington to secure annexation to
the United States. The delegation is
headed by Mr. Lorin A. Thurston, the son
of an American missionary. Mr.. Thurs
ton is comparatively young man. He
graduated from Columbia college in
1880, and upon returning to Honolulu at
once became a political leader. In 1889
he headed a revolution against the dis
solute Kalakaua, and year later was
appointed minister of the kingdom. In
1892 he was elected a member of the
house of mobiles. Considering that he
is now but thirty-five years of age, his
history may reasonably be pronounced
an eventful one. William C. Wilder,
the second delegate, is Canadian by
birth. He was a member of the United
States army before emigrating to
Hawaii in 1869. He was elected noble
in 1888 and was sent to parliament
again IN lS93. lie Is the president and
general manager of the Wilder Steam
ship company, which has done much to
develop the resources and commerce of
the islands. Charles L. Carter, the
third delegate, is twenty-eight years Of
age and of American descent. He is
the grandson of DIR. G. p. Judd, who
was the first premier of the Hawaiian
government after its organization on a
civilized basis. Mr.. Carter received his
edncation at Ann Arbor, and is lawyer
u profession. William II. Castle, the
forth delegate, is also of American
parsntage and a graduate of the Co
lAmbia law school. For awhile he was
associated with William C. Whitney,
then corporation counsel of New York.

How Dresses disseminate BacIIlL.

Prof. Z. G.. Dixon, the English scien-
fist, has been experimenting upon the
manner in which the germs Of tubercu-
losis are spread abroad by ladies'
dresses. lie had dress dragged over
the ground two or three times, and on
a glass slide was able to show no fewer
than seven tubercle bacilli, obtained, of
course, from the dust and dirt swept up
by the dress. The practical lesson
taught by this fact seems to be that OF
showing how, when trailing skirts are
brushed in our homes, the germs Of dis
ease or their spores get dissipated in the
air. and thus placed in a position to in
feet those who are well. This is another
and powerful argument against trailing
skirts.
