Worthington's Illustrated Magazine for August opens with the second of the interesting papers entitled, "Ran- dom Notes on Hawaiian Life," written by c. T. Rodgers. M. D., a prominent physician, now and for many years a resident of Honolulu The article treats of the native feasts; of Honolulu's picturesque mountain background, with a description of the Pali and the superb view from it's summit; of beautiful Waikiki, "the LongBranch of Honolulu;" of the fern and shell and wild animal hunting of Hawaiian youths, and fur nishes very graphic account of life and work upon the great sugar plantations, from the planting of the cane to the granulating of the sugar. The third paper will treat of Mauna Loa with its lonely crater dome rising nearly l4,OOO feet, and of Kilauea, ''the volcano" where natures fires are never extin- guished. The illustrations from special photographs are noticeable for their beauty and artistic reproduction, adding greatly to the enjoyment and value of the article.

The TunefuI Harp.

Harp playing is again in vogue. Fash.
ionable young women are hanging their
banjoes on the willow tree; they are TAX
ing lessons in harp manipulation. The
light airs of the instrument so long held
sacred are forgotten in the deeper and
more dignifed notes of the harp. We
suspect that the decorative qualities of
the harp have considerable to do with
this revival of that ancient instrument.
A harp is pretty thing. A curiously
carved cabinet from Venice or an oddly
fashioned table from France cannot be
more effective in drawing room.
The harp has noble ancestry. Skill
in bringing forth music from its chords
won praise and honor in the day of King
David. Kings and Queens have enjoyed
ITS music through hundreds of years. It's
addition to the orchestra, however, does
not date back many years. A Chicago
musician has made a study of the instru-
ment, and he says its possibilities are not
yet fully understood; that the semitones
of the harp can be regulated with nicely
heretofore unknown.
No doubt Tannhauser and Orpheus
would not recognize the harp If they
were to see it, with the Chicago modii-
cations, standing in white and gold
parlor aud responding to the graceful
touch of Michigan avenue bellies slen-
der fingers. indianapolis News.

A Feathered Winter Friend.

A writer in the Contributors Club in
the February Atlantic writes pleasantly
of the chickadee as a winter friend:
Set forth a feast of suet on the
window sill, and he will need no bid
ding to come aud partake of it. How
daintily he helps himself to the tiniest
morsels, never cramming his bill with
gross mouthfuls as do his comrades at
the board, the nuthatch and the downy
woodpeckerl They, like unbidden
guests, doubtful of welcome or OF suffer.
ance, even, make the most of time that
may prove all too brief, and gorge
themselves as greedily as hungry tramps;
while he, unscared by your face at the
window, tarries at his repast, pecking
his crumbs with leisurely satisfaction.
You half expect to see him swept from
your sight like thistle-down by the
gusty blast, but he holds bravely to his
perch, unrufiied in spirit if not in
feathers, and defies his fierce assailant
with his oft-repeated challenge.
As often as you spread the simple
feast for him he will come and sit at
your UoaFuJ conuulng guest, well
assured of welcome, and will repay you
with an example of cheerful life in the
midst of dreariness and desolatiou. In
the still, bright days, his CHEEKY voice
rings through the frosty air, and when
the thick veil of the snow falls IN q
wavering slant from the low sky its
mufied cadence still heartens you.
What an intense spark Of vitality must
it be that warns such mite in such an
immensity of cold; that floats his little
life in this deluge of frigid air, and
keeps him in song while we are dumb
with shiveringi If our huge hulks were
endowed with proportionate vitality,
how easily we might solve the mysteries
of the frozen northl

Strange Sense Of Direction.

When living near Neosho Falls, Kan,
a neighbor, who was market bird
hunter, went from there to Western Mis-
souri, for the purpose of hunting quails
and prairie chickens in the fall OF the
year, says a writer in Science. He took
with him favorite pointer dog. The
route taken was southwark some fifty
miles to Parsons, Kan, by railroad,
thence northeastward to Fort Scott and
on into Missouri, nearly due east from
the latter point. All went very well for
a few days after he began hunting, but
by some means the dog became lost from
him. He spent two days hunting for 1t,
and as 1t was no use to try to hunt with
out the dog. he went home and there
found the dog all right. According to
the report of his family, the dog had
reached there within two days from the
time he had lost him, and as the distance
was moro than seventy-ive miles, it is
quite certain that the dog took near
cut for home. Now, if this dog had no
sense of direction, what had he that led
him to take what we may confidently
believe to be the straight and true course
for home, when he had passed over the
other two sides of the triangle by rail-
Who does not know that a cat, or even
a half-grown kitten, taken a long way
from home in bag, nearly always finds
its way backf When living in Northern
Michigan had a cat we tired of, took
her in a boat directly across the lake,
about two miles, and turned her loose.
Although it was about six miles around
the end of the lake, a circuitous course
and certainly one unknown to her by
sight, the next morning she was back at
the old place. Another case is just stated
to me of o cat that was taken by rail
fully twenty miles in Southwest Missouri,
and the next day he walked in all right
at his former home.

HOME.

The prince rides up 20 the palace gates
And his eyes with tears are dim.
For he thinks Of the beggar maiden sweet
Who never may wei with him.
For home Is where the heart Is.
In dwelling great or small,
And there's many a splendid palace
That's never home at ALL
The yeoman comes 10 his little cot
With song when day is done.
For his dearie is standing in the door
And his children to meet him run.
For home Is where the heart Is,
In dwelling great or small,
And there's many a stately mansion
That's never a home at ALL
Could but live with my own sweetheart
In hut with san1ed floor,
I'd be richer far than loveless man
With fame and golden store.
For home is where the heart is,
In dwelling great or small,
And cottage lighted by lovelight
is the dearest home OF all.

Making Change by Cutting Coins.

Until recently, when the practice was
forbidden by law, the Mexieans cut their
silver coins into pieces for small change.
The same practice was followed in the
United States early in the present cen
tury, aud in Virginia it was customary
to make FIVE quarters out of each dollar
by hammeriug it out pIelimirarily to
chopping it into segments with hat
chst or other instrument. The creed
ing or currogation on the edges of mod
ern coins, commonly but incorrectly
termed "milling," was originally adopted
as a protection against the clipping of
metal money, which formerly was
source OF profit TO many dishonest per
sous.

Novel DeCOratiOn tor a Room.

A novel plan for the decoration of an
lnvalid's room has been successfully car
ried out in house in New York City.
The upper floor, which was not par
titioned of into rooms OF finished with
plaster ceiling, is fitted up to resemble
the upper deck OF a river steamboat.
Some round holes are placed in slight
curve a short distance from the front
aud back windows, and these uprights
support horizontal rods on which cur
tains are hung, by rings, allowing light
or securing darkness, according to the
mood of the invalid. On the walls are
window suggesting frames of light oak,
and the wall is painted to suggest wood
work. The wooden rafters overhead are
painted in gray and blue, soft blue
mellowed with yellow ochre, and Indian
red, and ''fatted" with a little, very
little, zinc whi.e, not white lead. In the
oaken frames, pictures with large pro-
portion of sky are fitted, aud are
changed four times year. In deep win
ter the pictures are Of South American
scenery; in spring, they are all I.Slisn
landscapes; IN summer, cool Canada
views, painted from nature, suggest the
pleasures of travel to the helpless invalid I;
and autumn brings California's luxuriant
vegetation on canvas, to brighten the
sick room.-DemOIest's Magazine.

DIR. Nansen's late lecture before the
British Geographical Society bristled
with ingenious devices for passing away
the time during which he expects to be
ice-boInd and to drift with the foes to-
ward the much-sought pole. SO many
of these devices are dependent on the
supply of electric current that henceforth
no well-equipped Arctic expedition will
be considered complete without its
dynamo. It is easy to imagine how
cheering will be the effect of the electric
light on those whose perilous task will
subject them for some months to almost
total darkness. DR.. Nansen's proposed
method of generating electricity is at all
events original, although somewhat de-
ficient in the quality of reliability. He
proposes to have windmill on deck to
drive the dynamo, and when the wind
fails to let his men take turn about at
''walk-mill," in order t0>a4ord them
such salasary exercise as might oe in

this method of generating current should
prove effective it is-but natural to be.

But love is whispering to-day
Along the paths we yet shall tread,

Omce.Seekers RepuIsed.

The president has taken the office
seeking bull by the horns and thrown
him. On Saturday he promulgated an
order that will please men of all parties
who are not office-beggars. Following
is the presidents order:
1t has become apparent after two months
experience that the rules heretofore pro-
mulgated regulating interviews with the
president have wholly failed in their opera
ton. The time which, under these rules
was set apart for the reception Of senators
and representatives has been almost entirely
spent in listening to applications for office
which have been bewidering in volume,
perplexing and exhausting in their itera-
ton, and impossible of remembrance. A
due regard for public duty, which must be
neglected If present conditions continue,
and an observance of the limitations placed
upon human endurance, oblige me to de-
cline, from and after this date, all personal
interviews with those seeking appointn ents
to Office, except as l, on my own motion,
may especially invite them. The same con-
siderations make it impossible for me to re-
ceive those who merely desire to pay their
respects, except on the days and during the
hours especially designated for that pur-
pose. | earnestly request senators and
representatives to aid me in securing for
them uninterrupted interviews by decin.
ing to introduce their constituents and
friends when visiting the executive man.
sion during the hours designated for their
reception. Applicants for Office will only
prejudice their prospects by repeated i'm.
portunity and by remaining at Washington
to await results
