WHILE our young people are deeply
engaged in the study Of philosophy
and art and their elders are the only
ones who are wise enough to seek
rest and amusement, it follows that
the novel will be written for the
pleasure and approval of these older
readers. And as it is i curious and
well-known fact that there is nothing
people like so well to hear about as
themselves, it is "a natural sequence
that the characters who animate the
plot of the modern story should be
mature people. We may pass an idle
hour in reading the romantic trials OF
callow and sentimental youth, but
-yhat takes downright hold of US, the
jSrt Of story that viii bc~Fa.ad and
remembered and talked about by the
readers of to-day, must deal with the
heavy trials and struggles and temp
tations of people who are kindred TO

Some time ago the suggestion was made in
a London paper that society," be formed to
suppress the growing evil and scandal of
street profanity. 1t was generally admitted
that English towns we're dsgraccfully prom-
nent in swearing and cursing in public places
Last week it was discovered that the statute
books actually contain an act passed in the
reign of George ii, "for the suppression OF
profanity and the law was put in force n
few days ago at Wechbccb.
Penalties are imposed according to the So
cial position of the offender. The scale is one
shilling per oath when uttered by laborer
two shillings when the sinner is above n Ia
borcr and under the degree of gentleman
and five shillings when spoken by any one
above the degree of gentleman. The pun
ishment is applicable whether the ofTcnsc he
committed In the public streets OF in mans
house. In the Wcchbech case the prisoner
uttered four wicked words in the street, and
being mere laborer, he was ordered 10 pay
shilling for each oath and thirteen shlllings

The danger OF cholera in this coun-
try has not disappeared. In Ham
burg and other European cities the
plague sleeps and will wake in the
spring. This is the opinion of medi-
cal experts. immigration, if not
properly restricted, will bring the
disease to our shores 10 effectually

desirable class will pc admitted, is
apparently a matter that involves in
surmountable difficulties. So expert
ence teaches. Until the menace of

best way to regulate immigration is
to stop it.

The manner III which several
estates hereabouts have melted away
and been recast to fit the cof-
fers of the lawyers concerned
has excited, among other things,
the suggestion that the gates
of the penitentiary viii swing open
for some of the lawyers. The sugges-
tion is cheering, but delusive. Peni-
tentiary gates do not do this sort Of
thing. If they swing open for the
benefit of the lawyers. it will be that
the pauperized heirs may be chucked
through as punishment for not hav-
ing more to be robbed of.

GREAT hopes are entertained in
Europe that a remedy for cholera has
been found which is able to destroy
the microbe that propagates the dis
ease without injury to human flesh
and tissue. Sir Andrew Clark OF
England has experimental with it
very successfully, and in Hamburg it
is credited with greatly lessening
cholera fatalities. The remedy con-
sists of crystals that arc to be in
jected into the blood. Their compo-
sition is held as a secret, but the ex-
periu-ents made will fully show whoth-
er the new remedy has the value
claimed for it.

Thz fields formerly used for rails
ing cane on the Princeville planta-
ton estate on Kauai are now used
as pasture lands. The mill has
been whitewashed and locked up,
and, to prevent any damage TO the
machinery, most Of It has been
taken apart and stored away. Not
withstanding the abandonment Of
the plantation, it is said that the
stockholders receive z dividend
from lands rented to Chinese. It
is said that about $4,000 annually
comes fIom this source alone. As
fast as purchasers present them
selves, small cottages formerly &C.
cupied by employees are sold for
old lumber.
Since the plantation shut down
many people have moved away,
and now there remains but three
white families in the Hanalei dis
triet.
The Hanalei valley is one Of the
prettiest spots imaginable. At the
