How to Walk.

1t is enough to imagine the unfeigned
amazement of dame of the old school
if the proper position of the feet in
walking were made matter of doubt
For years the dancing masters standard
in all matters of carriage and walk has
been an unquestioned one. The fin de
steele young woman, however, has a
mind of her own. She has not found
that the conventional training of the
dancing master. valuable as it undoubt-
eddy is, is all sufficient in producing that
grace of carriage and elegance Of man
ner so desirable in the woman of the
world.
On the contrary, she has found that
the physical training of the woman of
the stage has been more often conducive
to the desired end. Hence it is that
schools of Delsarte have sprung up all
over the land, and systems of physical
training, including boxing and fencing,
heretofore relegated to the sterner sex,
have found patronesses in plenty. From
the earliest days since the walk and car
riage have been a matter Of study it has
been decided by all authorities on the
subject that the proper position of the
feet was "heels together and toes out"
which is the present military position.
The English rule is that the angle at
which the toes should be turned out on
dress parade or in marching is go de-
grees. This throws the feet into an ex-
tremely unnatural position, which it is
practically impossible to maintain in
marching. This is about the degree
which the dancing master prescribes to
his pupils, and the average well trained
woman turns out her feet at consider
ably less angle, about 40 degrees. Strange
as it may seem, very little attention has
been given to the position of the feet at
the best physical training schools, though
the Importance of the manner of walk
ing will be appreciated when it is known
that in certain diseases plaster cast of
the position of the feet in walking is
taken as part of the diagnosis.
There is but one opinion among physi-
ologists as to the proper position of the
feet, and that is thoroughly opposed to
the opinions of the dancing master or
the drill sergeant.

An Early American Yacht.

Cleopatra's Barge was launched in
December, 1916. The yacht was
rugged as brigantine and cost about
$50 900 even at that early day. She
measured SO feet on the water line,
was 90 feet III inches wide and II
feet 81 inches deep. Curiously
enough these dimensions and proper
tons are not very different from
those of the cup defender Mayhower
and her successors. Her tonnage was
1911 tons nearly-almost exactly that
of the Mayflower under the old rules
of measurement
In spite of her owners love of sea-
manship his taste in the matter of
decoration seems to have been, to
say the least, eccentric-one side of
the yacht was painted in horizontal
stripes of many colors, and the other
bore a similarly diversified device
after the manner Of the herring bone
pattern. Her standing rigging wa
made of ropes laid in different col
ored strG rs, huge false windows
We're pr the sides of her cab
in, auc er she must have
been Il at variance with what
is con shipshape" at the pres
EFT day. vertheless she was very

MISCELLANY.
With Curtains Drawn.

The whirl of bitter tempest,
The wind that brlngeth the snow,
And the last of the brown leaves flying
Like the beaten before the foe.
But sweet is the peace of the fireside
And we care not what may hap,
While mother is sitting aud singing,
The baby safe in her lap.
The lads are droning their lessons.
From the room beyond floats in,
Soft as an angels whisper,
The note of violin.
One small bright head is bending
over our oountry's map,
And mother is gently grooming
To baby, safe in her lap.

A Useful Toilet Table.

An exceptionally useful toilet table article
is thus made and ornamented: Stuff large
cushion with curled hair, cover with linen
and then with any pale silk. Sew narrow
ribbon diagonally across one end and thrust
a shoe hook and a glove buttoner through
it. Make four long pouches of the gathered
silk at the four sides of the cushion to hold
cuff buttons, scarf pins, etc.

IT is common mistake to suppose
that the coloring of autumn leaves is
due to frost In mild seasons the trees
are often completely turned before the
thermometer has once sunk below the
freezing point. Leaves ripen just like
apples. An apple is but five leaves
grown together at their edges, and filed
with pulp and seeds.

Household Notes.
Useful Little Paper Bags.

Save thesmall paper bags carefully which
groceries come in; they are useful in many
ways. Slip the hand in one when you black
the stove and you will not soil it. When
flies abound, slip them over the clean lamp
chimneys during the day. After fruit is
canned draw them over the can and label
them plainly. The action of the light causes
more fruit to spoil than any other one thing.

Felt is especially desirable for decorative
purposes. A pretty table cover may be
made of white felt, painted in old rose, bow
knot and yellow chrysanthemum design
The border may be of fringe or done in rib
bon looms.

After the Manner Of His Mother.


He criticised her puddings and he found fault with
her cake:
He wished she'd make such biscuit as his mother
used to make
She didn't wash the dishes, and she didn't make
stew,
Nor mend his stockings, as his mother used
to do
His mother had six children but by night her work
done
His wife seemed drudging always yet she only had
the one.
His mother always was well dressed his wife would
be so too
II only she would manage as his mother used to do
All, WE'LL She was not perfect, though she tried to
do her best.
Until al length she thought her time had come to
have rest:
SO when day he went the same old rigmarole all
through
She turned and boxed his ears, just as his mother
used to do.

The Cherub Boy.

One morning in the cradle
Lay chubby baby boy,
A borrowed gift from heaven,
His mothers transient joy.
He had not long been given,
lie did not come to stay;
An angel came that morning
To take the child away.
His eyes were looking upward,
His features beamed with light.
And while we gaged upon him
He plumed his Wings for flight.
The angel tarried only
His pinions to unfurl,
And then they flew together
Up through the gates of pearl.
Beyond the shining portal
The angels sang that morn:
Another child immortal
Is unto heaven bornl
Some day among the angels
Aud ranks of holy men
The true and faithful mother
VIII find her boy again.

alton of affairs" he is obviously
not to be construed as meaning
that the government might as well
dismiss their troops, for the Ameri-
can forces would care for the city.
If the government were TO relax its
care, then plainly the forces of the
warships would have to be landed
and kept on guard ashore, which is
certainly not the thing proposed at
present.
The sheer of the Bulletin at the
government for keeping extra force
on guard is irrelevant and churlish.
The assurance given by Minister
Willis Of the availability of the
forces under his control for the pro-
lection Of the city was not intended
to relieve the government from con-
tinuiug to fulfill their task of pro-
lection, or he would so have in
formed them. His language-"even
if they should"-implies that he
expects them not to relax their
care. It was a thing not to be be-
lieved that they would be so remiss ;
but if they were, he at least would
take care that the public safety
was secured.

How the Boston Sailors Disposed
of their Three Months Pay.

How the Boston Sailors Disposed
of their Three Months Pay.
Captain Scott, of the tug Relief,
brought down from the receiving
ship independence at Mare Island
navy yard 100 petty officers and
sailors that lately were on the U.
s. cruiser Boston.
They have been granted ten
days leave Of absence. and are out
for a good time. The men were
entitled to and did draw $1,000, or
an average of $40 apiece. This is
the first shore libe4ty that they
have had in three months, and
they are wild as colts.
Al. White, who conducts sail
or's resort on the water front, re-
ceived letter stating that the men
wanted to reach the city early in
the afternoon. He had received as
a present a gold watch and chain
from the crew while at Honolulu,
and, wishing to return the compli-
ment, hired the tug Relief. The
Boston's men insisted upon paying
the S75 charges for the tug.
On all the principal streets last
night the Boston's sailors were to
be found in groups of from three to
a dozen. One bright young man
with a pleasant, kindly face, when
asked about the influx of tars, said ::
"The Boston, on her arrival heIe
from Honolulu, was ordered out of
commission. The crew was trans
ferred to the receiving ship INDIE
pendence. We had had no shore
leave for three months, and our
confinement was almost unendur-
able.
Lieutenant Phelps, who is in
charge of the Independence, inter-
ested himself in getting us ten days
shore leave and part of the money
coming to us. The novelty ofmov-
ing around a big city is so great
that we can hardly hold ourselves"

MINISTER WILLIS GUARANTY OF THE
PUBLIC SAFETY.

The maintenance of public order
is well assured. 1t is doubly as
sured. 1t has the vigilant care of
the government, zealously sup
ported by the military and citi-
zens. 1t also has the solid back
ing of the United States forces, as
publicly guaranteed by Minister
Willis. The American ministers
assurance came to the Honolulu
public at an opportune moment,
when it was of important service.
AS he has expressed himself in
private conversation, it was put
forth as a humane act, in order to
allay those approximations from
which the weaker members OF So
ciety keenly suffer in times of ex-
element and agitation.
1t plainly was not meant by the
minister to be understood that the
community were to rely upon the
forces of the Philadelphia and the
Adams for direct and immediate
nrotection. That is the duty OF
the police and of the local mill
tary. The American forces are
not performing the police duty OF
the city. They are not on shore,
as they would need to be in order
to give the prompt protection re-
ouired. and to act for the imme-
date suppression of incipient dis
order. They are the reserve guard.
They are held prepared rapidly to
reinforce the local police and mill
tary in case of serious actual out
break.
This function of theirs has long
been well understood. 1t was high
Iy fitting, however, that the newly
arrived minister should certify the
fact. and make it understood that
this protection was guaranteed by
himself, in the fullest sense OF its
propriety. In saying, if he was
correctly reported, "that even ifthe
Provisional government discharged
the whole of its troops today, no
lawlessness would be allowed for
one moment under the present stu

Mrs. Ann Maria Dimond, the wife
of Henry Dimond, died at the
residence of her daughter, Mrs.
Henry Waterhouse. She was past
50 years of age.
Mrs. Dimond was born in New
York city on the 18th day of May,
1903. She married Henry Dimond
on November 8, 1884, and arrived
here in the ship Hellespont, with
the sixth reinforcement of Ameri-
can missionaries, in June of the
year 1885. For several years Mr..
and Mrs. Dimond have been the

living. They are General w. II
Dimond of San Francisco, and
Mrs. H. Stangenwald, Mrs. Henry

afternoon at A o'clock, from the
residence of Henry Waterhouse on

has the following, as quoted in our
San Francisco letter: 'It is re-
ported this afternoon that the
Presidents message will be equi-
vaIent to favoring the restoration OF
the queen to the throne" This
Herald dispatch was unquestion-
ably the basis of the London and
Auckland telegram, which was
copied in all the local papers here,
and now proves to have been a gen.
uine one from the Herald office.

ACCORDING to the advices from
our San Francisco correspondent,
President Cleveland did not send
in his message to Congress relative
to Hawaiian affairs, but will do so
when that body convenes in De-
cember, and it will probably be
embraced in the Presidents annual
message. Congress opens its regu-
lar session on Monday, the fourth
of December. The through steamer
Alameda, which leaves San Fran
cisco December 7th, due here De-
cember 18th, will bring the mes
sage.
