Mr.. EDIToR: From actual ex-
perience of service in the front In
another country | have no hesita-
ton in stating that the coolheaded-
ness and courage needed for the
makeup of soldier was not in any
respect wanting in the volunteer
forces recently under arms support
ing the Provisional Government of
the Hawaiian Islands. On several
occasions, by way of drill prob
ably, when an alarm was sounded
in the dead of night, officers and
men went speedily to quarters, and
with a determination to give good
account of themselves. No coward
ice there. Veterans or regulars
could not have done better. In
camp the manner in which sentry
at street corners and other places
could be picked off from ambush
was sometimes talked of. The re-
ply was about that time all such
risks seemed in order. There was
no Sinking. No one went to SLEEP

peated whenever necessary, better

Mr.. EDITOR: Your editorial OF
Thursday morning throws a flood
of light on the political situation.
In common with some other citi-
zens had looked with surprise at
the appointments of the Provisional
Government, all of which, with one
prominent exception, have been
from its own body. First the COM
mission to Washington, then the
Marshal, then the Superintendent
of Water Works, then the Judge.
Tn the absence of the Comwission
thew seemed TO lack the exact ma,
terial for the vacancy on the SUI
nreme Bench, and so wisely went
outside the oligarchy. Then there
were ugly stories about town con
corning the appropriation of Gov
eminent property by certain mem
bers.
Fortunately it seems that all thu
is a dream, and the sin of the Gov
eminent consists in not appointin:
the rest of its friends-or, in othe
words, its members-to the remain
ing paid offices. -,

to call their soul their own. 1t was
such disgusting exhibition of sy-
cophancy, that caused those of the
party who might be termed men to
get out and form the Liberal party
in 1891. Then we find the tail

The Destroying Crickets In idaho.

The onward march of the crickets In
Idaho is described by the correspondents
as something more terrible to the farm
ers than an army with banners. The lit
tie pests made their appearance in north
ern Idaho in May and have been moving
toward the south and east ever since,
eating every blade Of grain and grass on
the way and even destroying the foliage
and fruit. The farmers have been crush
ing them with rollers, burning them with
sage brush fires and roasting them as they
swim across the rivers and bitches with
burning oil, but they still move on by
millions, undaunted by the slaughter
and undismayed by anything except a
lack Of verdure. Just how far they are
going is a matter of much moment to
the farmers of the mountain REGION

Peacocks' feathers have been handed
down to us from the ancient days of
mythology as emblematical Of treachery,
evil and misfortune. The origin Of this
strange superstition is founded upon the
following classical story: Osiris, king
Of Egypt, upon starting on his Indian ex-
pedition, left his queen, Isis, regent, with
Argus, his minister, as her chief adviser.
Argus, with his hundred eyes, or rather
his spies, soon made himself 80 formi-
dable and powerful that he seized the
queen regent, shut her up in a strong
castle and proclaimed himself king Of
Egypt. Mercury was sent against him
with q strong army, took him captive
and cut off his head, whereupon Juno
Inetamorphosed him into peacock and
set his spies in his tail. From this legend
and the various additions made to it
from time to time the belief has arisen
thatit is unlucky to have peacocks' feath-
ers inside a house.-Brooklyn Eagle.

How Sugar Melts,

II we drop lump of sugar into cup
of tea, we find it takes a considerable
time to melt If allowed to remain at the
bottom of the vessel, but II we hold IL
up in the spoon near the surface of the
liquid it dissolves much more speedily.
This is owing to the sugar, as 1t melts,
rendering the portion of the tea con-
tanning 1t heavier. The sweetened part,
therefore, descends, leaving the sugar
constantly in contact with unsweetened
or only partially sweetened tea, in fact,
q continual circulation of fluid is pro-
NOTED until the whole is dissolved.
When the sugar is placed or permitted
to lie at the bottom of the cup, 1t dis.
solves until the layer Of fluid next It is
thoroughly sweetened or saturated, when
1t practically ceases to dissolve any fur
ther, the sweetened and heavier stratum
above it acting for considerable time,
until the law of diffusion comes grad
ually into play, like an impervious cov-
ering In keeping back the lighter un-
sweetened fluid above.
Hence the reason also why stirring, In
breaking up the saturated layer and al
lowing access to the unsweetened por-
tion, is so effectual in bringing about
the uniform sweetening Of tea. Life is
not infrequently sweetened by the same
stirring up process.-Brooklyn Eagle.
