Fowls That TUrloin the Contents of Their
 Neighbours Nests.
 Tn Capt Bendire's Life Histories of North American Birds the hen of the Canada grouse is reported as a con- frmed cgg-thief. A number of these birds were observed in captivity to rob one another's nests frequently.
 Two hens had their nests near to- gether, about two feet apart, and as each laid every other day, one nest would be vacant while the other was occupied. The hen that laid last would not go away until she had stolen the nest-egg from the other nest and placed it in her own
 A hen was once seen to attempt to steal an egg from another nest twenty feet distant. She worked for half an hour or so, but did not succeed in nov ing the coveted egg more than eight feet-the way being uphill. The egg escaped her and rolled back a foot or two so often that she gave up the task m disgust.
 One evening the observer found one hen on the nest, and knew that she was De3lnnlnS to set, as all the OIner hens had gone to roost. Slipping his hand under her he found three eggs, the nest-egg, an egg she had just laid, and one stolen from neighbor- ing nest.
 He took two out and heid them be- fore her, when she placed her bill over one and tried to pull it out of his hand. As he refused to let her have it, she placed her bill over the remaining egg and pushed it back out of sight, as much as to say: ''You have two, and that is all you can have" She pleaded so hard for the other eggs that he took them away with much reluctance.

STEEL BUTTONS.
The Witty Retort of an Italian Lady of
 Quality.

The Witty Retort of an Italian Lady of
 Quality.
 The prejudices in favor of nobility are very strong in Italy, and though family connections are prized so high ly there, no man seems ashamed if he has no family to boast. In "Glimpses of Italian Society" the author says that she was astonished to hear we'll bred clergyman say gravely to friend, also a man eminent for talents and fortune:
 ''Yes, there is grand invitation at such place tonight, but don't go because I am not gentleman; and the master desired I would let you know that it was for no other reason that you had not a card, too, my good friend, for it is an invitation for none but people of fashion, you see."
 At all this no one stares, no one laughs; and it is accepted as the proper thing.
 A woman of quality, near whom I sat at the fine ball Bragadin made in honor of the season, inquired how I had passed the morning. l named several churches I had looked into, particularly that which they esteem beyond the rest as a favorite work of Palladio, and called the Redentore.
 i'You do very right" said she, ''to look at our churches, as you have none in England, I know; but, then, you have so many other fine things, such charming steel buttons, for example, !" pressing my hand to show that she meant no OffenSe

SENATOR sTANFoRD's HORSES
The Man Who Got His Deserts for Kick
 ing One of Them.

ing One of Them.
 In employing men to work at PalO Alto the late senator gave them the most strict orders. They were told, says the San Francisco Examiner, never to strike, kick or whip a horse, and his instructions to his men were: Always do thing a little better than anybody else and you will succeed. When you handle horse treat him a little better than anyone else. When you breed horse breed him to little better stock each time."
 It was in this way that Stanford rev. olutionized the horse breeding of the country. He never allowed one of his men to ill-use horse, and they knew it. There are never noise or blows around the Palo Alto stables and the horses are never frightened. To show his feelings towards his horses, the late Henry Vrooman once told of an occurrence when he was dining with Senator Stanford. Just after the din- ner one of the drivers insisted that he must see the senator. He was ushered in, with blood over his face, which was badly cut. "John knocked me down" !" explained the man, referring to one of the trainers.
 ''What did you do?" asked the sena- tor.
 Nothing" replied the man.
 But you must have done something; want the truth" persisted the sen. ator.
 ''I kicked horse and John knocked me down." said the man.
 ''Those were Johns instructions, and think he did just right" said the sen- ator

OUR NATIONS CAPITAL.
It Has Moved About a Good Deal More
 Than Most People Suppose.

We are quite sure that if number of boys and girls were asked to name the different capitals of our country, the order would be something like this: Philadelphia, New York and Washington. This IS all right as far as it goes, says the Blue and Gray, but the truth is our country has had a good many more capitals than those named. It may be said that during the revolution the British ''llept things moving" They would have been very glad to lay hands on the rebel" con- gress; knowing which, that body took good care to keep out of their way. Inasmuch as wherever congress went it took the national capital with it, you can readily understand why the following named places bore that honor at the dates named:
 Philadelphia, from September 5, 1774, until December, 1776; Baltimore, from December %, 1776, to March, 1777; Philadelphia, from March f, TIT, to September, TIT; Lancaster, Pa., from September 27, TIT, to September 30, TIT; York, Pa., from September 30, TIT, to July, ITS; Philadelphia, from July ?, ITS, to June 80, 17S3; Prince ton, N. J., from June 80, 17S3, to No- vember 20, 17SS; Annapolis, Md, from November, 17sS, to November, 17s4; Trenton, N. J., from November, 17S4, to January, 17s5; New York, from January II, 17S5, to 1790, when the seat of government was changed to Philadelphia, where it remained until 1900, when it was finally removed to Washington.
 Thus it is that nine different cities and towns have figured as the capital of our country.

HORSES WITH WHITE FEET.
Considered UnlucI1y in France, But High
 ly Thought of in the Orient,

Considered UnlucIIy in France, But High
 ly Thought of in the Orient,
 In France, and believe in European countries, says LArtiste, it is a most ominous sign for rider, and especial ly a soldier, to want horse with four white feet. The famous Gen. Lasalle, who was very superstitious upon this point, never knowingly mounted such a horse. The day of his death, after several ominous events which had happened to him that day, such as a broken mirror. a broken pipe, the picture of his wife broken at the mo- ment when he went to look at it for the last time, he mounted a horse not his own and without glancing at its feet. The horse had the unlucky signs. Mounted upon this horse he was struck by a shot fired at a moment when fighting had ceased by a Croat among the prisoners just taken at the battle of Wagram.
 On the other hand, these four white feet are a mark and token of consider ation with orientals, who do not fail to mention the fact in the pedigree of their horses I notice a proof in the certified list, made by the elders of the countries, which accompanies the present which Abd'el Nader in July, 1854, made to the emperor of certain number of valuable horses. Thousands ofSuch proofs may be cited

A River Flowing Inland.

On the African shore, near the Gulf of Alden, and connecting the Lake of Assal with the main ocean, may be found one of the most wonderful rivers in the world. This natural curiosity in the shape of river does not flow to but from the ocean toward the inland. The surface of Lake Assal is nearly seven hundred feet below the sea level, and it is fed altogether by this para doxical river, the latter being about twenty-two miles in length. It is said to be a wonderful fact that this river of immense volume Especially at high tide) furnishes exactly enough water to counterbalance the extraordinary evaporation of the lake, and that in consequence the lakes surface re- mains at uniform level year after year.

Two Glorious Scenes Bring Out @ Glow

Two Glorious Scenes Bring Out a Glow
 s7 of Enthusiasm
 A traveller in the heart of the Andes tells, in Tropical America" how he relieved his feelings when, having ascended the Paramillos, he found himself at the summit, nine thousand feet above the sea level.
 The scenery had increased in gran deur every hour since daybreak, and now two magnificent spectacles were to be enjoyed. The first was broad view of the Cuyo valley, southward and eastward, with Mendoza, it's shad- ed streets, it's plazas and it's suburban farms and vineyards directly below us and so near that with glass streets and houses could be identified.
 The second WAS an inspiring glimpse of the main Andean chain, now sud- denly towering thousands of feet above us in the west. Tupungato, in solemn majesty, looked down upon us from the clouds.
 Then with sharp turn in the bridle- path a hundred snow-clads were re- vealed at once. It was a spectacle to fire the blood. I had no companion in sympathy with my enthusiasm, but the Chilean guide at least had ears to hear compliments showered upon his native mountains. Leaping from the mule shouted:
 ''Magnifico! Magnifco!"
 Then feeling the inadequacy of the unfamiliar Spanish tongue for express ing genuine Yankee feeling, I added;
 ''HaiI Columbia! Glory Hallelujah!'
 A flush of patriotic pride illuminated the Chilean's face, and he repeated: ''Magni6co!'
 There we stood in rapture, gazing at the Andean kings, with their snowy ermine falling from their stately shoulders.

The administration of the oath, as in civil cases, is of high antiquity: Then shall an oath of the Lord be between them both, that he has not put his hand into his neiGhbor's goods" See Exodus, xii, H. swearing on the Gospels was first used in the year 52S. The first oath administered in judicial proceedings was by the Saxons in the year 600 The words ''So help me God and all the saints concluded an oath down to 1850.

An Indian Blanket.

The Indians make blankets of bark beaten very thin. The bark is stamped with fancy figures in brown and red and is trimmed with fur. Palm leaves are beaten together and are also made into blankets. An Indian is always cold, even in hot weather, and his blanket is as precious to him as our sun hats are to us-

THE TREATING SYSTEM.
DIR. Lucas Holds That Most Drink
ing is Done for Sociability.

According to the chestnut quoted
by himself, Rev. d. V. Lucas, d. D.,
had large and respectable meeting
at Y. M. Q. A. hall last night. That
is, the lecturer was large, and the
audience respectable. There were
enough auditors of both sexes there,
however, to give fairly sociable as
pect to the room. General Secre-
tary Peck gave out the hymn, "Won-
derful Words" which was sung to
piano accompaniment by Miss Emily
Halstead. Rev. DIR. Beckwith offered
prayer.
MIR. j. B. Atherton, in introducing
the lecturer, remarked he had rather
thought that it was not an audience
that was given to treating. But on
a second look he saw some who
were addicted to treating with ice
cream, and DR.. Lucas had given
them some good treats. He told a
story of little fellow who asked his
father, after going home from lee
ture the other night, if DR.. Lucas
was ever a scout. "1f not, how did
he ever lose his scalp lock?"
DIR. Lucas replied on getting up
that sometimes he accounted for
that bald spot as the result of
scratching his head to see if there
was anything in it. Then he gave
them another reason the other night
that he had been a married man
some years.
The speaker went on to utter the
proposition that more than one-half
of the liquor consumed i'll Honolulu
as elsewhere was drank by people
who did not like strong drink and
wished the whole business was in
the bottom of the sea. 1t was in
the sociable element of human ma
ture-implanted therein for good
and noble purposes-that lay the
secret of the prevalent drinking GUS
toms. He gave very realistic illus
trations of hypothetical nature to
demonstrate the truth of the theory.
These again were backed up by mar
rations of cases in real life, most of
them from the speakers personal
knowledge. Many of the stories
were of humorous kind, making
the audience laugh out frequently.
The lecturer displayed a strong
faculty for mimicry and varied
mastery of dialect.
Before closing his address DR.
Lucas announced he would lecture
this evening, especially for boys but
everybody welcome, on the subject
'Why the Pony Gave Out" On
Friday evening he would lecture Oh
the political economy aspect of the
liquor question. In this connection
he told of the good results of the
local option law in Canada, giving
some laughable stories of electora.
campaigns on the question.

SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT.

WhatSis it all about3 This organ

tion7 Is not the Provisional Gov
ernment, with plenary powers in its

representatives league enough9
The fact exclusively to be inferred
is that the Provisional Government
party has come to realize that the
great heart of the United States is
still friendly to the Hawaiian nation.
That the great American people are
not going to be carried away with a
hurrah into course that might i'm
pugn their grand reputation for
protecting weak peoples and hum
BILE folk who rely on their traditional
sense of justice. The Hawaiian peo-
pie at large have reason to hope
that in the readjustment of their af-
fairs they will have the best counsel
of the highest order of United States
statesmen. Everything thus far in
dicates that if the new administra-
ton in the United States can dis
cover means of preserving Hawai-
ian autonomy without losing any of
the universally acknowledged Ameri-
can supremacy of interest in, and
watch-caro over, the Hawaiian ISL
ands, policy on those lines will be
early carried to a happy consumma-
ton. 1t is evident that such policy
is favored by the ablest organs OF
public opinion in the United States,
and is the hearts desire of more
Americans resident here than the
nnexation-at-any-price advocates
care to acknowledge.

1t forgot to mention, however, that
its own Daily Kuokoa newspaper is

will not go down with the simple
natives in these times, and they refuse
to part with their dollars for such a

Inquiry in the proper quarter
elicits the fact that the Provisional
Government is not pressing its de-
mand for the return of the Japanese
murderer, taking refuge on his coun-
try's warship, to the authorities.
The japanese representatives at the
first declined to give the man up un-
til they could obtain instructions
from their Government, and at that
the Provisional Government let the
matter rest. Whatever else the
japanese may have in their eye,
therefore, the case of the refugee
does not enter into it.
