THE provisionl government of Hawaii
is making preparations to offer armed
resistance to any attempt by the United
States to restore Queen L,liuakalani,
and as the United States is not in the
habit of picking quarrels with it's weak
er neighbOrs the prospects of Ills res
toration are dubious, indeed. The fact
is President Cleveland made bad
break when he withdrew the Hawaiian
treaty from the senate and sent out my
commissions" 10 investigate, and he
lost many ardent admirers i'll this coun-
try when lie Arbitrarily AMI arrogantly
assumed to reverse his predecessors
foreign policy. When Grover assumed
to possess monopoly of the brains and
virtue of this country he made the
greatest mistake of his life.

spent two weeks in examining every

Of them had two sites to offer and we
looked them oil over. TIE act itself
placed certain restrictions on US, and
for that reason some OF the offers had
to be thrown out. 1t required that 400
acres of land had to be contributed,

st. Bernard is the name of a pass in the
Alps mountains. At the highest point,
more than mile and half high, the
monks built a hospice, or hotel, about a
thousand years ago, and monks have lived
there ever since for the purpose of giving
shelter and food to travellers who pass that
way.
Being at such a height, it is very cold, a
lakepcer by being frozen over during nine
months in the year. The snow falls some
times to the depth of 40 feet and of course
makes the path impossible. In the blind
ing snowstQrrl1 the traveller who fails to
reach the h6ttl before night soon finds HIM
self exhausted, and benumbed with the
cold he lies down TO die.
Now comes the work of the dogs Being
strong creatures, with thick, shaggy coats,
and withal being used to the cold, they do
not suffer tlike other breeds. The monks
tie'aswarm blankeU6n each ones back and
send him out to look for belated travellers
If he finds one, almost covered perhaps
with snow, he will dig him out and try to
revive him. II he succeeds, the man will
take drink from the bottle of stimulant
tied to the. dogs neck, and the dog will
lead him to the monks house. II the man
does not quickly revive, the dog will run
back and bring some Of the monks to his
aid. Our picture Is that Of q fine full grown
St. Bernard.

Is sometimes called the river horse 1t has
an enormous mouth, and each tooth weighs
from five to eight pounds The teeth are
the best kind OF ivory, and a single tooth Is
worth from $50 TO $40.
Though so la.ge and powerful, the hippo
potamus Is quite harmless, unless 1t be-
comes enragcd. AS it eats nothing, how
ever. but grass, roots and other vegetables,
IL does an immense amount Of mischief to
the gardens of the natives. 1t Is hunted
for its flesh, which Is valued M food, as
well as for it's teeth, and its skin, which
makes very strong leather.

lips Brooks, the great Boston preacher, to
one of his little nieces:
VENICE, Aug. 10, 1882.
DEAR GEnTIE-when the little children in
Venice want To take bath, they iust go down
to the front steps of the house and jump Off
and swim about In the street Yesterday saw
q nurse standing on the front steps holding
one end of string, and the other end was tied
TO q little fellow who was swimming up the
street. When he went too far, the nurse pulled
in the string and got her baby home again.
Then ] met another youngstor swimming in
the street whose mother had tied him TO post
by the side of the door, so that when he tried
to swim away to see another boy who was tied
TO another doorpost up the street he couldn't,
and they had TO sing out to one another over
the water. Is not this queer city?
You are always In danger of running over
some Of the people and drowning them, for
you 60 about in boat instead OF a carriage,
and use an oar instead of horse. But 1t is
ever so pretty, and the people. especially the
children, are very bright and gay and hand
some. When you are sitting In your room at
night, you hear some music under your win
dow and look out, and there is boat with q
man with fiddle and n woman with q voice,
and they are serenading you. To be sure. they
want some money whom they are done. for ev-
erybody begs here, but they do livery prettily
and arc full of fun.
Tell Susie did not see the queen this time.
She was out of town. But ever so many noble
men and princes have sent to know how Toody
was and how she looked. and have sent them
all her love. s,s

Edison's Boyhood.

From an article on the boyhood of Edi-
son in st. Nicholas we learn that young
Edison never had any boyhood days, his
earliest amusements being steam engines
and mechanical forces. He left marbles,
ball and hopscotch to less ingenious ur-
-hins and constructed plank roads or dug
tunnels and caves along the shore Like
many of the worlds greatest men, Edison
owes much of his fame to his mother, to
whom he was a devoted son. She taught
him his lessons at home, impressing him
with the love and purpose of study.
Wherever he went in his boyhood days
Edison had workshop, and every tele-
graph Office in which he tarried witnessed
some electrical freak of his restless brain.
In some form or other his subsequent in
ventions embody these boyhood contriv-
ances. The determination, industry, per-
severance, honesty and temperate habits Of
his boyhood followed him into manhood
The 45 distinct inventions with which he
has since revolutionized modern civiliza-
tion, his library of 100, 600 volumes, the best
equipped laboratory in the world, are but
the larger expression of the tastes of the
boy Edison in whom his contemporaries
were unable to divine the wizard of the
nineteenth century.
