SPEED THE PARTING GUEST.
Chester A. Doyle Goes on a Very
Important Mission.

For some days, or since the ar
rival of Lieutenant Boeter, the
friends of Chester A. Doyle have
noticed what is colloquially termed
a far-away look in his eyes, and
they are at loss for the cause.
Whether or not he has decided to
follow in the footsteps of the Ger
man officer, no one knows, but his
conduct for day or so would lead
people to suppose he had. tt was
announced in yesterdays ADvER-
TIsER that he was going to
make a flying trip to Maui in
search of legacy but one of his
countrymen-Mr. Yamichiro Maru
by name--said that instead of 60
ing after a legacy he will journey
to interview Fred Hayselden, with
the intention of purchasing the
island of Lanai to found a fruit
eating and no-clothes colony |Ac-
>eording to Mr.. Maru's statement,
he will not go alone to the island
mentioned, but will be accompanied
by the members of "The Ancient
Order of Never-Sleeps," who have
been going around with a seal
brown taste in their mouths ever
sinca the last saanca
It is not known just why Mr..
Doyle and his friends are going to
leave this sunny isle, and the sup
position is that they have decided to
boycott the tailors, as it was only
the other day that the high court
interpreter was heard to remark
that all tailors ought to be banished
to Hilo for the rest of their natural
lives. It seems that he went into
q shop and wanted to know if he
could get forty-dollar suit for $40,
but he was disappointed in the
reply, which was: I'VE are out of
the kind asked for, but we have
some nice ten-dollar suits for $40"
This broke Mr.. Doyle's heart, and
now he is going to Lanai to live on
fruit, with an occasional steak
thrown in. He leaves this morn
ing on the w. G. Hall.

that the artist might sketch him.
He stood like a statue Tor nve
minutes, not moving a mu Gle.
While the sketch was being made,
as many of the crew as could
crowded around the artist and
watched every stroke of thu pencil.
When the sketch was finished, they
all wanted to look at it, and seemed
to think it was a good one.
In the old times, when the two
handed sword was used by the
japanese knight Grant, a fight
between two skillful fencers must
have been a very serious thing On
board the Takachiho are two beau
tiful specimens of the sword, one
three hundred years old and the
other six hundred. They are very
heavy and are splendid specimens
of the Damascene art. The chas-
ing is really magnificent, and re-
pays examination.
The sailors are encouraged In
everything that will improve their
muscles and make them active,
hardy men. They are small of
stature, but what they lack in
height they gain in strength and
agility. They are continually in
dulging in some trial of skill or
or both, and would proba-
bly, be a match for any of their
Caucasion brothers in any sport
with which thew are familiar.

As Seen Through window Glass.

Speaking of the terrible condition Of
labor, Mr.. John P. Eberhart, president
of the Window Glass Workers assem-
bly,, No 300, K. of L., writes that the bad
conditions seem to grow worse and adds
that II doubt not they will continue to
do so unless we succeed in keeping VIII
sons nefarious and cowardly makeshift
from the statute books. May God help
the poor this winter, for if the thinkers
keep on nothing of human ability can
avert unheard of suffering, and no man
can see what direful consequences may
ensue. We are in the tolls of the enc
mics of the people, and it seems that
men in such positions as mine will have
all they can do to try to manage the
work Of keeping the souls and bodies of
the unemployed together until they may
have an opportunity at the polls to do
right what they did wrong little over
a wear ago.

WEALTH HERE AND ABROAD.
Points of Contrast Between the Rich L

Points of Contrast Between the Rich In
America and In Europe.
The English and the Americans are
both rich, but which are the richerf
Perhaps the statisticians know or can
find out, but it is not certain that the
statistical answer would give the infor
nation that one really wants and which
involves the distrS ution of wealth as
well as its mere existence. Most Amer
leans have to work; but, as is well
known, considerable proportion of
English people toll not nor spin, and
make no pretense of doing anything tor
living. Is that because the English
are richer than we, or is it matter of
taste or a result of primogenitureP So
also it appears close study of
documents submitted by Anthony Troll
lope and other contemporaneous histo-
rians-that British gentlemen in re-
spectacle circumstances employ from
FIVE to fifty servants and have several
houses apiece, all Of which they live in,
and travel much besides. An Ameri
can who lives in that way is looked
upon as a man of very exceptional re-
sources, but it would seem that an Eng
lish gentleman who does not live in that
way is thought to be somewhat strait
ened. In England there are 800 or 400
hunt clubs, and something like 90, 900
Britishers ride pretty regularly to
hounds. But hunting is an expensive
sport that takes both time and money.
These English seem to have both to
spare.
A returned traveller was speaking of
the shoals of agreeable English people
he met in the Riviera and in all the
play places of southern Europe. When
asked if they were rich people, he said
not, but that they were able to live as
they did because they knew how and
got their moneys worth. He thought,
too. that the well to do English had
more complete domestic apparatus ready
to hand than most Americans and
could spend a larger proportion of their
incomes ON travel and amusement.
Houses and furniture and such expen-
sive vanities they had already by in
heritance and were not compelled to

Regarding the English habit of pub
fishing novels in three bound volumes
would the American buy novels in such
costly form? Are not all the habits of
living that we borrow from the British,
from dock tailed horses to indoor men
servants, more costly than the customs
they supersede? They must have great
deal of money to spend, those enterpris-
ing islanders. No one would hesitate
to say that the Americans are richer
than the Russians, or the Italians, or
the Germans, or even the thrifty French,
but the Briton gives us pause. Is he
really richer than we are, or is he mere
ly an older son, and dweller in land
where servants work for small pay,
and clothes are cheap, and novels are
rented out by Nude, and the tax on
stimulants is laid for revenue, and not
for prevention, and where to loaf and
invite one s soul is esteemed a prefer
able thing to toll ?-Harper' Weekly.

English CriminaIs.

Doubtless, TO judge from your aver
age daily journal, murders and sui
cides, crimes and catastrophes, wars
and feuds and frauds, would seem to re-
main the staple of the human record.
But be it remembered that, for obvious
reasons, all our worst and darkest is col
lected there. One might as well judge
of public health by the painful cases
described in a medical publication as
of the vast mass of solid human happi-
ness and innocent living joy by the dali
ly catalogue of these really trivial ex-
eeptions to it, AS for sins-the most Sc
rious of which are only such as are
malicious-though the population in
crease, they seem steadily to diminish.
We had 81, 66S 'habituals' in 1868;
now the evil roll is only 90, 1853.
When the population of England was
10, 257, 600 in 1859, there were 2, $50
persons undergoing penal servitude;
now, with population of 81, $50, 159,
the number is only 947. In 1878 the en-
tire number of prisoners in our jaIls
was 30, $685. the entire number at the
same date last year was 10, 663, though
the population had increased by 5000,
GOO Pauperism is also declining. In
1870, 1 ,079, 39t persons were in receipt
of relief; in 1891, with an addition of
more than 7, 600, 600 inhabitants, there
were only ia, 905. The upshot of these
figures = without pressing them too
much--seems surely to be that the cos
mic process" in our own little corner Of
the universe is not doing so badly. Sir

THE SECRETARY BIRD.
The Cool Manner In Which It Kills Snake.
Its Natural Prey.

The Cool Manner In Which 1t Kills Snake
Its Natural Prey.
As soon as the secretary bird, or
snake eater, of South Africa discovers
2nake, it advances toward it without
hurry and without hesitation, and when
within striking distance it Immediately
elevates its crest and the feathers of the
neck, and without losing any time de-
livers blow with its foot. If the snake
has avoided the blow and attempts to
strike back, the bird interposes wing,
thus receiving the deadly fangs harm
lessly upon the long feathers and i'm
mediately strikes again.
The fight is then virtually over, for
if the secretary gets in a single blow
the snakes back is broken, and the bird,
lightninglike, plants its foot firmly on
the reptiles neck and head, pressing
them into the ground, while it delivers
the coup de grace with its beak, and
then deliberately swallows the snake
whole, beginning at the tail, and just
before the head disappears, giving 1t an
enthusiastic parting rap on the ground.
But there is nothing refined about the
secretary BIRDS appetite, for one writer
says he found inside one three serpents
cas- long as his arm" II lizards
inches long, 81 tortoises about inches
in diameter, besides large quantity
of grasshoppers and other insects, y or
in other words, ~ feet of snake, 61S

The secretary bird is protected by the
cape authorities for the immense public
benefit it confers in eating poisonous
snakes, and penalty is attached by
law to its destruction. And if it We're
necessary hundreds of eyewitnesses
could be called to prove its right to the
title of serpentarius. Curiously enough,
too, this bird may be trained, and is
trained, to protect poultry yards, not
only from snakes, which are too fond of
eggs, but from other birds of prey .-St.

The invention of playing cards has
been attributed to the Chinese, Hindoos,
Arabians and Romans, but cards as
now used were invented by Jacques
Gringonneur, painter, in Paris in the
fourteenth century. They were sup
posed to have been first made for the
amusement of Charles vi of France,
who was deranged. The French had
particular names for the 70 court cards.
The four kings were David, Alexander,
Caesar and Charles; the four queens,
Angine, Esther, Judith and Pallas the
four knaves or knights, Ogier the Dane,
Lancelot, La Hire and Hector de Gar
land. Cards seem originally, however,
to have been taken to England direct
from Spain, having probably been in
troduced into that country by the Moors
the clubs, in Spanish cards, not being
trefoils as with us, but cudgels-that is,
bastos-the spades or swords, espadas.
They were at first stamped from wood
blocks in outline and filled in by hand,
but after the invention of engraving the
best artists engraved them on copper
and struck them off at once. Column
bines were spades; rabbits clubs; pinks,
diamonds, and roses, hearts. Human
figures opposed to those of flowers and
animals were the ancestors of court
cards. Brooklyn Eagle.

Harkl LookI The excited group Of
men stood there riveted to the ground.
The hands of those who held the plank
were frozen as if in death s clutch. The
tongue of him whose word was law was
paralyzed. The sound which filed their

than the awful roar Of battle, the rush

On, on it came, tearing from their
roots great trees that had withstood the
storms of generations; hurting heavy
branches, logs, timbers and rocks a hun
bred feet above the heads of the fright
ened witnesses. Great clouds of snow
filled the air and hid from view the sur
rounding mountains.
Not man in that group, all huddled
together like so many frightened ami
mails, but comprehended the situation
in an instant.
These men, who were brave enough
of heart to have fought with the inspi-
ration of patriotism on the field of bat
tie, or faced with fearless courage the
ocean s wrath, or listened without the
faintest dread to the earthquakes fear
full rumblings, stood trembling like lit
tie children in the face of a snowslide!
Swift as a meteor it came, and like
the bursting of thunderbolt had spent
Its wrath, and its dreadful harvest lay
scattered far and wide, like dead and
wounded soldiers on a battlefield.
And when the sky had cleared there
lay, at the feet of them who held life
within their grasp, dead and frozen
human form. Tight against the breast
the clutched and stiffened fingers of the
dead held the buckskin bag of money
the evidence of Parson Tom s innocence!
