ONE ROSE ONLY.

For really effective decoration with
flowers look to quality, not quantity.
Once upon time woman with a
fine feeling for blossoms gave very
modest luncheon. 1t waslin the depth
of winter when flowers were worth
much more than their weightin silver.
She had just ST. to spend for them,
and gave it without hesitation for a
huge sweet blushing rose, upon a
yard-long stem.
This rose she took home rejoicing,
cut the stem in three, filed Iongish
dark-green platter with Jumps of ice
as big as your fist, not piled pyramid
wise, but laid irrcgularly over il.
Then she laid the leng tbs of rose stalk
SO that the sprays of leaves would
trail partly over one edge, aud then
she set her one blossom. 80 as to show
its leaves and stem, across the middle.
The result was center-piece that

4 WOMAN WHO KNOWS LAW.

The Chicago Legal News, in recent
issue, gives very interesting account
of the work of Miss Helen Thompson,
who was secretary to her father, the
editor of the American Law Review,
for two years. Miss Thompson dur
that time wrote 200 judicial opinions
taken from his dictations on the phon-
ograph and spent her spare time
studying law. She has now married
a lawyer and will doubtless fnd use
for her various accomplishments.

HAWAII.
A Bird's-Eye View of the Sand
witch Islands.
Their Extent, Population, Gov
ernment and Trade.

The little group OF the "Sandwich
Islands," as they are popularity called,
lies OH the norther rim of the tropic
zone, in latitude 90 and %, 2100 miles
west of San Francisco, with which
they are connected by weekly line OF
steamers. Other lines running be-
tween America and Australia also pass
through them, and Honolulu, the capi-
tai, a town of 10000 population, on
the island of Oahu, is city of con-
siderable commercial Importance.
The islands are to great extent
mountainous and volcanic, but the
soil is fertile, the temperature equa-
BILE, and the warm, moist climate sup
ports luxuriant vegetation. Crops
ripen at all seasons of the year, and
the flowers always blooming in the
widest luxuriance. On one acre of
ground properly graded a man can
raise rice, tara plants, from which
poi, the native Cruel, is made; bread
fruit, fgs, cocoanuts, bananas, and
countless smaller fruits and vegeta-
bles-all, in fact, that is necessary for
sifc in these islands of Incidence.
Some interesting facts regarding the
Sandwich Islands are thus summar-
lied:
The group, which was discovered
by Captain Cook over century ago,
consists of the islands of Hawaii,
4210 square miles; Maui, 76o; Oahu,
GOO; Kauai, $40; Molokai, 27o;
Lanai, $50; Nihau, 81; Kahoolawe,
6S-a total of 6640 square miles. The
population consists of 10000 people,
a gain of 10000 since 1884. There
are 40, 1000 natives and half-castes, 20,-
900 Japanese, $4,000 Chinese, 5000
Portuguese, 1000 born in the United
States, 1900 English, German and
French. and the rest of various races.
The Chinese and Japanese are not al
lowed to vote. Of the $4,000 voters
5000 belong to the white race. The
natives. closely resembling the Maoris
of New Zealand, have decreased four
teen per cent. in eight years and will
ha hat e.
Oh tile other hand, have increased
about so per cent. in the same period.
The government heretofore has been
based much on the English system,
with a queen, cabinet, a house of
mobiles and a parliament or house of
representatives, which meets every
two years in April or May. Queen
Iilliuokalani is a Presbyterian, but
the utmost religious freedom is al
lowed, the denominations being di-
vidcd as follows: Protestants, 25, S65; !;
Roman Catholics, 20,072; Hebrews.
z2, Mormons, 1916, and the rest un-
designated. In 1890 there were 17S
schools, with an attendance of about
ten thousand children. The estimated
revenue for 1922 was 50, ,S65, ,5O5.
The import trade, 81 per cent of
which is with the United States, is
mostly in domestic goods, provisions,
machinery, etc. The principal ex-
ports in 1890 were sugar $12, ,159, ,5S5,
rice s545, ,239, bananas $176, ,351,
hides $70,949. The current in use is
mostly American gold and native
silver. The rate of interest varies
from five TO ten per cent. The public
debt OH March 81, 1890, amounted to
$1,934, 900, raised in London, paving
six per cent. interest New York

TURQUoIsEs.

Turuuoises and diamonds have be-
come the jewels in vogue, since the
daughter of tho Duke of Edinburgh,
now Crown Princess of Roumania,
has decreed that this combination is
the prettiest imaginable. 1t is one
that has been growing in favor with
the smartest people since the marriage
Of Princess Louise, Of Wales, but in
the Crown Princess of Roumania's
case there is another and personal
reason also, an intensely womanly one,
for this preference. The turquoise
namely is exquisitely becoming to the
scventeen-year- old royal brides pretty
piuk and white complexion, her bright,
wavy hair and her blue eyes. The
tiara, necklet and earrings given to her
by her father are most exquisite, and
there is one of her evening gowns with
which they look quite perfect.
The emerads in the Queens present,
very beautifully designed pendant,
are of wonderful beauty, but sapphires
and turquoises are the jewels most
suited to fair girl. Emeralds and
rubies look superb on brunettes. and

EartIquakes.

Earthquakes are due to the phenom-
ena Of plication or folding of the earth's
upper strata. The same tension and
compression which produced many Of
the mountain ranges is here in action.
AS the interior of the earth cools it con-
tracts and tends to leave the outer crust
behind. The weight Of the outer crust,
however, is greater than it can sustain,
and Is therefore compelled TO wrinkle.
The biologists explain the great ridges
and furrowe which constitute CONT
nents and river basins, and they compare
this folding of the earth's crust with
the wrinklieg OF the skin of dried APP
pie. While the process of wrinkling or
folding is'going on the mighty move
ment, OF course, destroys the equilib-
rum Of the rock strata, and in conse-
9pence earthquakes occur and continue
with greaJer " Less violence until the
equilibrium is again restored.
