SEVERELY CRITICIZED.
RoyaliSts Censured Willis for Not
Restoring the Queen.

sp> Sa(Shs
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash. Dec. 6-In
an interview to-day Captain Cutler of the
barkentine Klikitst. which arrived from
Honolulu yesterday, said: "The declara-
tion of Minister Willis allayed public feel

supporters continued. however, to aver
that the American Minister should be
severely reprimanded for not obeying the
Instructions of the State Department.
which. as it emanated from one or two of
Liliuokalani's closest advisers, was to the
effect that Willis had imperative instruc-
tioDs to restore and recognize the mon
archical Government. These assertions. to-
gether with Willis remarks that unex.

the American Government or himself had
no knowledge and which were Of sufficient
importance to cause him to alter his plans
and send dispatches TO Washington

as indicating that Willis had orders TO
restore tho Queen. 1t was believed in
Honolulu that Willis went there prepared
to abolish the Provisional Government.
and that his instructions were based upon
the existing condition OF affairs, which on
investigation w ills found did not exist,
This supposition is further verified by a
remark made to me- by Willis when he
said he was surprised to meet SO many
broad-mindeo, law-aDiding and thoroughly
intelligent people in Hawaii. Willis is
religiously inclined. and to a considerable
extent associated with the missionary eIe-
ments in the islands and came in contact
with the sblest men in Honolulu, all OF
sfr nly
ton of monarchy. and especially the
Queen, on account of her supposed un-
chaste conduct. This class OF citizens
were careful TO see that Willis was cor
rectly Informed of certain facts that
Blount did not choose TO consider.
"After the steamer Alameda sailed for
San Francisco and up to the time the
Klikitat departed for this port. spirit of
uneasiness prevailed lest Willis would try
to throw the friends of the Provisional
Government off their guard and permit the
royalists to get in possession of the Gov
ernment buildings. While / was visiting

demeanor it was easy to see that the COM

some trouble ashore. Friends OF the Pro-
visional Government reported the royalists

Ceylon is the home of the largest

vestigation. This web-spinning mon
ster lives in the most mountainous dis
tricts of that rugged island and places
his trap-not gossamer snare of airy
lghtness, but a huge net of yellow silk
from five TO ten feet in diameter
ACROSS the chasms and assures in the
rocks. The supporting guys of this
gigantic net, which In all cases is al
most strong enough for hammock,
are from five to twenty feet in length

require), made of a series of twisted
webs, the whole being of the diameter
of a lead pencil. AS might be i'm
agined, this gigantic silken trap is not
set for mosquitoes, flies and pestiferous
gnats, but for birds, gaudy moths and
elegantly-painted butterflies, some of
the latter having a spread of wing
equal to that of a robin or blue jay.
Some extra fine skeletons of small birds,
lizards, snakes, ETC., have been found
in these webs, with every vestige of
flesh picked from them. The owner
and maker of these queer silk traps is

MoNKEYED WITH THE TROLLEY.
Philadelphia Boy Turned the Garden
Hose on One and Now Regrets 1t.

A Philadelphia Boy Turned the Garden
Hose on One and Now Regrets 1t.
At least one boy on Catherine street
knows more about electricity and the
trolley than he did, and so does his
father, says the Philadelphia Call.
The other evening the boy was out in
front of his home, which is not far from
Broad street, preparing to sprinkle
the street and cool off the pavement.
The nice, black, shiny hose had just
been brought and it was his first ex-
perience at the job. He uncoiled the
hose, coupled it on and turned on the
water. He first sprinkled the pave
ment literally and felt grateful at the
GOODNESS which seemed to pervade the
atmosphere. Th en- he sprinlxled the
street until the dust was all mud and
the water was triclxling in streams
into the CUTTERS Still he kept up the
good work, and papa came out, lighted
cigar and sat do wn upon the steps to
see Johnny do his work. Then mamma
came out, too, and the neighbors who
were across the street admired the
family group. After wetting down the
street and everything else in reach,
to conquer. Suddenly he glanced up
ward, and his eyes rested on the shin
ing trolley wire which stretched away
in the distance. It looked rather hot
and he concluded to sprinkle it as an
evidence of good faith. Without con-
sulting papa he turned the hose on the
trolley wire, and struck it fair with
nice, plump, strong stream of water,
while he held the nozzle of the hose
the better to direct the stream. Then
Johnny was struck by the current of
electricity which few down the stream
to meet him. He dropped to the side
walk and the hose turned loose, sprink-
ling papa and mamma we'll before they
could escape. Then the admiring
neighbors laughed and papa grabbed
Johnny, lugged him into the shed and
padded him with shingle, after
which he delivered lecture on cleo
tricity and the dangers of the trolley.
Then he fondled Johnny again with
trunk strap and put dry suit of
clothes on himself.

FLOWERS.


"Flowers preach to us If we will hear"
Christian G. Rosetu
The miser world may count It's coin in glory
Above its million graves,
And trumpet-lipped ambition tell the story
OF it's thrice-cheated slaves;
But he hath won the right to human praises,
Who from the conquered sod,
lovely flower, o fair new blossom raises
To gladden. man and God.
For souls that have no prayers to send to
Heaven
These Eden children speak.
The dull prosaic OF the world they leaven.
These sermons of the week.
For wherever flower is, God has set a
ladder
That reaches to the SKIES
And souls ascending crush the poison adder
That meath its beauty lies
And who can walk among the smiling flowers
And not bless him who sends
So kindly to this prison-house Of ours
These ever welcome friends?
Up from the grave they spring, fair con.
nection,
Between our hearts and Heaven,
A sweet remembrance of the resurrection,
And Christ-life freely given
God hears the whispers of the flowers sur
rounding
The dear and confined dead;
The hearts unspoken supplication sounding
From wreaths at foot and head.
And not the music of the organ pealing
The swelling marriage song
Hath melody more sweet than f1owers-scent
stealing
The bridal path along.
The festive board meath every dainty groan-
ing
May please the human sense,
But luxury is richer for the toning
OF flowery innocence.
Companions they for sad or joyous hours,
For youth or silvered age,
Fair nature hath no choicer gifts than flowers,
Her book no fairer page.

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the inhamma
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces

THE EMPEROR REsENTs ADVICE.
His Young Majesty of China Has Notions
as to His Own Education.

His Young Majesty of China Has Notions
as to His Own Education.
The Pekin Gazette lately contained
curious decree from the emperor re-
ferring to certain proposals that had
been made for his proper education.
An officious censor presented memoir
ial suggesting that the emperor should
restablish the former practice of hav-
ing the classics and other sacred writ
ings daily expounded to him. Upon
this his majesty observes: "Since we
have undertaken the task of govern
ing in person, we have daily received
in audience the officials of the metrop-
oils and the provinces, and done our
very utmost to rightly discern the
proper men and pass judgment on their
actions. Such time as remains at our
disposal after transacting the multi
tudinous affairs of state we devote to
the study of the classics and historical
records, often engaging in discussion
with the imperial tutors, and never
permitting ourselves for a moment to
indulge in luxurious ease.''
The great Kien Lung explained his
objection to the old practice to be that
the censors whose business it was to
expound the classics in rotation, and
thereby to raise the standard of moral
virtue, made use of the opportunity to
tender their advice on things in gem
eral, and to air their private views. A
few years later the same great ruler
publicly announced that after listen
ing for more than ten years to the ir-
relevant comments of his tutors on
public affairs he was tired of them,
and that these unenlightened and un-
statesmanlike expositions must stop.
A later emperor said much the same.
With these precedents of his ances-
tors to guide him, the present emperor
concludes his decree as follows: 'Two
emperors have thus expressed their
views with regard to this matter, and
the conclusion they arrived at was
that these expositions were mere
fraud; that they did not advance a true
understanding of the principles of gov
ernment; that those concerned endeav-
ored to put forward their private
views and by fattery carry out their
false designs. We see through all
this quite clearly, and it would be well
were the censor to reverently peruse
the views of former sovereigns in re-
gard to this matter. His memorial is,
moreover, in many respects obscure,
and his arguments not to the point.
His proposition need not be enter
ta;ned"

RECKLESS BICYCLE RIDERS.
Officers of Clubs Should Call Down tn,
Careless Wheelmen.

Officers of Clubs Should Call Down the
Careless Wheelmen.
The reckless rider is, first of all,
says British Sport, danger to the
public, fool to himself and an unmit-
igated nuisa nee to none more than his
fellow-w -wheelmen. The first he fright
ems, but otherwise does little harm to-;
he jeop ardizes his own neck (which, it
may be remarked en- passant, is never
above the average in value), and plays
the very dickens with the affections of
his fellow-sportsmen by invariably hug
ging the curb on the wrong side when
he is not lurching all over the road It
is to be feared that the law will never
be able to suppress him, for the simple
reason that he is hard to catch and the
police are proverbially slow as runners.
We shall probably have to endure the
reckless rider as long as our cycling
lives last, and that in spite of the
higher education and university ex-
tension lectures. The nuisance can be
mitigated, however, by the use of
little moral suasion, and in particular
officers of clubs might do much towards
the conversion of men whose reckless
ness is not, after all, necessarily born
SO much of innate caddishness as mere
high spirits or ignorance, allied to
thoughtlessness. Let officers of clubs
never weary of impressing on their
young members the necessity of OBJ
serving the rules of the road, the truth
of the old axiom, ''More haste, less
speed" and the very real danger of
seorching through city streets and
even suburban roads. and at least some
good will of necessity accrue. For the
writer's part, he has made up his mind
that the next time he is run down by
rider hugging the near side curb he
will have 'tthe law on him" for assault,
and be bothered to ''the freemasonry
of the wheel"
