Women timid, forsooth? writes Jul
ticle entitled Are Women Timid?" in
the April Ladies' Home journal. Much
as we may talk Of their being so, our
talk is not an echo of our reason. Ev-
cry man of us relies on their courage
measurably in the ordinary affairs Of
life, and entirely in most of its crises.
We usually begin with our mothers and
end with our wives. But whatever
their relation, they are an inestimable
help to us in every great trial, by their
calmness, strength, decision and hope
fulness. Unhappy he who at such n
time has no feminine counselor, sus-

have borne testimony TO the invaluable
aid of woman. when the future black

How many more might bare such testi-

Is woman not constantly upholding

quarter of n mile IL became necessary
to advance by crawling through the tall

weight Of his rife, Godfrey, by great
exertion, succeeded in keeping up with

The execution was to take place ut

companion threw themselves on their
knees in order TO reach the spot unseen
by the savages, the first rays of the sun
shot family upward like spectral spears.

NOT WASTED TIME.
The Blessings OF n Life Full OF Inter-,
tion.

Ths blessings OF Life Full OF Interrupt
tion.
Probably no complaint Is oftener
heard from busy meu well on in life
than that Of Interruptions, the hundred
little things that daily take them away,
apparently, from their occupations or
purposes. 1t might be inferred from
their complaints that half the lives of
most people was literally wasted in
these little distractions There is no
doubt that daily diverting calls do him
der man from accomplishing work he
has in hand, but IL is not demonstrated
that these Interruptions are not thu
best thing for him and for the
world. 1t could be proved that
no man ever accomplished any
thing in the world who was not
very much interrupted and 1t is evil
dent that no man il of much account
who Is not liable TO these annoyances.
The value Of man In himself or to the
community is pretty accurately gagged
by the demands made upon his time.
1t could be shown that II what he Is at
tempting TO do is useless, the world will
not interrupt him. 1t has little need of
that sort of man. And probably, also,
he is fulfilling his destiny, and being of
the greatest service he can be in this
life, In attending to these ten thousand
calls which seem TO interfere with his
plan. As man gets on into the thick Of
life, he can less and less command his
time, and he Is apt to grumble more
and more at the waste of his powers.
The chance is that these Interruptions
are his salvation. 1t is not only TINT
diversity Of interests Is essential to his
mental and physical health, but these
only can bring out his full powers. The
man interrupted a great deal is very
much in contact with all sorts OF life,
and presently he gets good many OF
his facets polished up that can reflect
it. He lives wildly in hundred ways
instead OF vegetating in one. And
besides, the world has reason to
thank God that the intentions
of many men are frustrated, and
that they have not time TO do all the evil
or the good they intend. Give almost
amy man rope enough, and he will hang
himself. II is the Interruptions that
not only keep him from moral suicide,
but keep him fresh. The world is Just
now flooded with books. The remark
or the incident that formerlya man or
a woman would have told TO friend
or circle, in the way of making hui
man intercourse lively, now goes into a
book TO add TO the task of the
reading world The public has to
suffer because II has no call TO inter-
rupt these writer's. But II is these
very hnrrassing interruptions of life that
are the good genius OF literary fiction.
II the able novelists produced undis-
turbed up to their power-that OF
jacquard loom-the world could not
contain the books they would write.
And yet domestic annoyance, or the
solicitation Of a world wanting help in
its trivial affairs, or a fit Of sickness,
they do net recognize as angels in dis.
guise. Less books and better Is proba-
bly, what the public is thinking, and II
1t philosophical the subject, 1t would
be 10 say that the life fullest of inter
ruptions is the best life. Charles Dud-
ley Warner, in Harper's Magazine

The "Holomua" Gives Mrs. Dominis "a
Piece of its Mind.
In yesterdays issue the H0i0Biud
vented its feelings as follows:
THAT the Queen should have hest
tated in accepting the conditions Of
President Cleveland when he offered to
restore her Government has been a
painful surprise to her supporters. A
spirit of vengeance has never been DOM
mating among her true friends. Her
adVisers-who ever they may be--de-
serve no thanks, for by their foolish adj
vice, having imperilled the chances of a
popular government, and caused a con-
tinuance of the embarrassing and OBJ
jeCtiOnable situation of the King.
dom 1t should not be lost
sight of that the majority
of the people desires restoration of a
constitutional government under which
the great principles of popular rights
are the main features. As far as the
sovereign is a part of such government
the restoration of the monarchy has
been the object for which the people
have agitated and worked, but it should
never he forgotten that the people de-
sire q constitutional government under
which the sovereign reigns, but does
not rule, and they are not willing to
submit to any autoCratlc form of govern
ment, never mind under what name ii
appears or under what disguise 1t hides
its true character and incliuations.'

There is not AN Anncxaiiunist in the

observe, who would be willing 10 sub

to- sign petitions for annexation. They
seek to impress them with the opinion
that if annexed they will be allowed
the right to vote. Quite number Of
petitions have been signed by natives
asking for annexation. provided they
were allowed the right to vote. In
other instances delegations made mp Of
