A Bridal Joke.

Two families were recently greatly
disturbed over telegram. A son and
a daughter of these families had married
and gone away ON bridal tour of three
weeks or month, as the case might be-
Two days after the three weeks were up
the BRIDES parents received telegram,
which read:
Have had q row with my husband. Am COM
ing home. KITTY.
To say this was not startling would
be to say what was not true, and the
BRIDES parents at once fastened to the
home of the groom's parents, only to
find there similar message, except that
it read, ''Have had row with my
wife. :" Messages were wired at once,
but no replies were received, as the cou-
pie had evidently started home imme
diately after they had sent their COM
munications. Then there followed an
anxious waiting, and SO hours later the
happy couple turned up smiling, with the
explanation that it was a row on the
river they were talking about, and they
weren't to, blame if the telegraph didn't
pronounce words correctly. Detroit

a Queer profession.

''There are only three men in Chicago
in that fellows line of business, - re-
marked the chatty Wabash avenue bar
ooh, he trades in BARRIERS crank no.
tions, superstitions and whims,' the
operator continued. 'FHe goes from one
shop to another with that little hand
bag and trades razors, straps, brushes,
hones-anything in the tonsorial line.
How does he make living at it? Easy
enoughl You don't know BARRIERS very
well, I guess. Well, some of them buy
a razor for, say, So, and after he's used
it awhile makes up his mind that he
doesn' t like it. So he sells it to this man
for 81. This man leaves it on trial with
some other barber and gets 81 worth of
old razors in exchange, and then he sells
one of those old razOrs to the original
purchaser Of the 50 razor He does the
same with straps and homes and brushes.
Of course he makes money, dresses
well, smokes good cigars and works
only when he feels like it. There's
money in it for the three fellows in the
business, but the snap will be overdone
as soon as the scheme is better known.
Capital necessary to begin? Cheek and
acquaintance are all that is necessary.
When the razor broker gets q cranky
customer who shaves himself and
doesn't care what his outfit costs, pro-
vided it suits him-why, then he does
what any one else would do. He makes
the crank pay for his crankiness. Chi

Facial Expression.

We naturally look at a young face fo1
q prophecy and at an old one for rec
ord. But the materials from which we
attempt to inform ourselves are of a
very different character in the two
classes. In the one case we see q general
arrangement of features, which, accord
ing to some utterly inscrutable law, ac-
companies certain traits of mental and
moral character No satisfactory theory
has ever been put forward TO account for
such facts as that human beings with a
certain inherited squareness of jaw are
always Of u tenacious disposition.
But when we scrutiniZe an older face
we peruse tho linear inscriptions upon
it's surface as we read a book of which
we know the author. Not only do such
and such cOnformations of its lines have
definite meaning, but we can form an
opinion as to why and when, if not how,
they were written.
The caligraphy, of course, is not uni
form in all cases, and there are various
complexities about it which may render
an exact Interpretation matter of diff
ficulty. Trouble or passion, which in
one instance is recorded in bold char
acters, i'll another may leave scarcely q
visible mark, and it is obvious that a
lean face will betray the story of emo
tional experience more readily than one
covered with q mask of fat and smooth
skin. -Blackwood' S Magazine.

and cnvious and frantic and desp1se ev-
erything around me, just as it becomes

come into Christ's garden today and
pluck little heartsease! Christ is the
only rest and the only pardon for a per-
turbed spirit Do you not think your
chance has almost come? You men and
women who have been waiting year

which to accept Christ, but have post

and pardon and salvation had come?
Oh, man, what grudge hast thou against
thy poor soul that thou wilt not let it
be saved? I feel as if salvation must
come now to some of your hearts.
The Immortal Rescue.
Some years ago a vessel struck on the
rocks. They had only one lifeboat. In
that lifeboat the passengers and crew
were getting ashore. The vessel had
foundered and was sinking deeper and
deeper, and that one boat could not take
the passengers very swiftly. A little girl
stood on the deck, waiting for her turn
to get into the boat The boat came and
went-came and went-but her turn
did not seem to come After awhile
she could wait no longer, and she leaped
on the taffrail and then sprang into the
sea, crying to the boatman: "Save me
next! Save me next!' Oh, how many
have gone ashore into God mercy, and
yet you are clinging to the wreck of SIM
Others have accepted the pardon of
Christ, but you are in peril. Why not
this morning make rush for your i'm
mortal rescue, crying until Jesus shall
hear you and heaven and earth ring
with the cry: ''Save me nextl Save me
next!'

an Australian Opinion.

The Sydney Morning Herald OF
September 7th attributes the an
nexation of Necker Island by the
Hawaiian Republic to the injudi-
cious talk of an eminent visitor
from Australia, when visiting Ha-
wall. It says that one Of the very
first things to have considered, in
the proposed laying of the cable,
was the title to Necker Island, but
there was the fatal fault of tardi-
ness in not acting promptly about
it. 1t admits that the island may
be within the sphere " of Hawai-
ian influence, and the act of annex
alton makes a valid title. 1t be-
lieves that the Hawaiian Republic
will not be mean about making
some arrangement by which the
cable can be landed there, and an
immense expense avoided. If the
Hawaiian Government is obdurate,
then the promoters of the cable
will not go out of their way to pro-
mote the welfare of Hawaii.

FALSE STATEMENTS.

The item which We published
yesterday, and the one which we
publish today in another column,
from Ka Leo, show how the native
souls is "fred up" by the lead
ers" who are. perhaps, loyal to the
ex-queen, but are wilfully or ignor-
antly betraying the native people.
These people, only now a remnant
of the numerous race which once
existed here, need, above all things,
kind, thoughtful and generous
treatment. Though they have ig-
norantly sold their birthright, and
voluntarily handed over their pro-
perty, for full value, to the whites,
and spent the proceeds in riotous
living, the whites are bound to
protect them. Their worst enemies
are men Of their own, or partially
of their own race, just as the worst
enemies of Ireland have been Irish
men. If the supporters of the
Republic maliciously desired to
ipjure and crush the native people,
they could invent no better way of
doing it than that followed by the
native leaders," in their dealings
with their own people. Circum-
stances may make the history of
these little islands a matter of some
Importance, and we desire to put
ON record this fact, that in these
DAYS the white friends of the natives
would like to make sunshine and
peace for them, but the native
leaders force them into the dark
ness. On the other hand, from a
military and purely political stand
point, it may be a good thing that
the "leaders have persistently
played the natives into the hands
of the reformers, by giving them
false information, which has con-
fused them, and allowed the Re-
public to, easily, get on its feet.

JOHN RUSSELL YOUNG AND CHINA.

We reprint, today, the article, or
China, written by John Russell
Young, and published in the New
York Herald. We, who are seri
ously involved in the matter
should carefully study it. 1t should
be read to the children, in the
schools, for they should know al
about that vast empire, which is
moving towards us, as Mr.. Young
says, with a glacier-like pace.
Mr.. Young was the American
Minister to China, under General
Grants administration. He made
the tour of the world with him.
No man knows the political situa-
ton, around the Yellow sea, better
than he.
1t was a significant remark made
to Mr.. Young, by Mr.. Delaine, of
the London Times, that ne advised
a young man, who was beginning
his career on the press, "to study
the East" If it was well for him
TO do so, how much more impor-
tant that we should study il, who
are so near to it. We are, our
selves, utterly helpless in the mat
ter, because We are weak, but, still,
a clear knowledge of the situation
may serve US well at some time.
1t is quite possible that, in the
future, the Anglo-Saxon race with
its hundred millions of people may
combine, against the Chinese race,
with its three hundred millions.
1t will be for the interest of Great
Britain, that the United States,
hold and occupy these islands, as
the chief outpost.
The Mayor and Aldermen of San
Francisco, publicly welcomed the
Chinese in 1859, because their Ia
Dor was wanted. Burlingame
thought himself great statesman,
when he opened China up to the
Americans, and the Americans, be-
lieving that there was money in it,
said Amen. Now the people OF
the Pacific Coast, and the people of
the United States, quake if a Chi
naman looks at them. The "fore-
most people" on earth played a
little game, with the acute Mon

October ?, 1894.


Frogs are prolific and so are
the rose bugs. 1t seems to the
casual observer that some
thing else might be tried
while the public is waiting for
the frogs to multiply and
watching the foliage disap-
pear from view. So far the
frogs are not in it with the
bugs or even adjacent there
unto. A gentleman from the
Coast suggests that the King
Bat be imported as an expert
ment and we do not see why
it would not be a successful
one. The cunning rose bug
does it work at night when
birds and chickens are at rest;
the bat spends it's days in
sweet repose and gets it's liv-
ing after dark. Just how
prolific the bat is we do not
know but it is a hungry
thing that might make it's in
fuence felt ON the bugs. Give
it trial Mr.. Commissioner of
Agriculture and if it is a sue
cess a laurel wreath will be
yours.
The introduction of wind
mills other than the Aermotor
seems to have given an i'm
petus to the windmill bust
ness that was rather unexpect-
ed. 1t is probably because
the people here known what
the Aermotor is and they are
unacquainted with other MAX
es. When the Aermotor was
introduced people were a lit
tie backward about trying it
because it was an experiment;
now that we have a hundred
or more in use the public looks
upon it as a staple just the
same as sugar or salt. They
know what it is before buying
it and they know what work
the mill will do before it is
placed in position. An ad-
the Aermotor has
over other mills is the fact
that the larger ones are gear
ed and will operate pumps
that an ordinary mill will not.
The geared mill will also work
a saw, a grindstone and a feed
cutter and dear knows what
not. No other mill will do
this and for that reason the
Aermotor is a better buy than
any other mill. Compared
with a steam engine it Will
do the same work without the
of fuel or a man to
attend it. There is scarcely a
place on the Islands where
there is not wind enough to
run an Aermotor twenty-four
hours a day. It's like interest |
it works while you sleep; |
and it never lets go. If we |
had a side of this paper in
stead of a column we could |
publish some testimonials |
that would open your eyes to
the merits of this wonderful |
Machine. Experimenting has
made it perfect; no mill could
be invented that will ap-
proach the Aermotor in any
respect.

Food For Alligators.

Almost every Indian river is deemed sa-
cred and some spiritual benefit is sup
posed to be derived from bathing in it. In
any large town or village there is usually
a bathing CHAT, with convenient flights of
steps leading down to the water. Here the
people assemble in great numbers. Some
times one of these poor creatures Is carried
off by the alligator, who is ready to take
an early worm, which tends to show that
the worm was wrong in getting up so
early. In the course of the morning the
number of bathcrs increases, and they
stand about enjoying their additions and
oblivious of danger. All of sudden an
alligator seizes one of them and drags him
down almost before shrek of despair can
be uttered The other bathers flee, but
there Is no one to rescue the unfortunate
victim of the day. OF course some attempts
are made to kill an alligator that haunts u
bathing CHAT. but the fishermen have no
gun, and the alligator easily breaks their
nets. 1t may seem incredible, but ut one
of the bathing places of the city of Gut
tack large alligator was killed, and when
IL was cut open the silver and gold and
bras, ornaments that the women wear that
were found in its belly were enough to
show that Ii must have carried off and
killed upward of 80 grown up women. l
have not got n note of the length OF that
alligator. but the head was kept b. Il gen
