The BUSY Bee.

Careful weighing shows that an or
binary bee, not loaded, weighs the one
it takes 5000 bees, not loaded, 10 make
pound. But the loaded bee, when he
comes in fresh from the fields and
flowers, loaded with honey or bee bread,
weighs nearly three times more-that
is to say, he carries nearly twice his
own weight. OF loaded bees there are
only about l 800 in the pound. An or
binary hive of bees contains from four
to five pounds of bees, or between 20,
900 and $4,000 individuals, but some
swarms have double this weight and
number of bees.

The Era of Muscle.

This is an athletic age Everybody wants to
De strong. The craze-for it has well nigh
reached that stage-affects both sexes and even
childhood. The pugilistic phase of this fad in
young America is by no means morally promis-
ing. But it is one thing to be endowed with
vigor and another to be tSandowed with muscle.
Super muscularity is often induced by physical
effort perilous to health and calculated to short
en- life. The vigor which means q regular and
ethc1ent discharge of the physical functions, is
the hrst medium at which all may safely aim
without causing ruptures or breaking blood
vessels. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is largely
conducive to gain in vgor of this sort, since it
ular bilious secretion and keeps the bowels in
order. Sleep, that grand recuperator of the
nervous Y1gor, is encouraged by it, and it
remedies malarial, rheumatic and kidney
trouble.

Il the following letters had been written
by your best known and most esteemed
neighbors they could be no more worthy OF
your confidence than they now are, coming,
as they do, from well known, intelligent, and
trustworthy citizens, who, in their several
neighborhoods, enjoy the fullest confidence

benefit whatever. I also took treatment
from physicians in Rochester, New York,

received no benefit from them. In fact

Not less remarkable is the following from
Mr.. j. A Buxton, a prominent merchant
of Jackson, n. c., who says Il had
been troubled with skin disease all my
life. AS 1 grew older the disease seemed
to be taking a stronger hold upon me-. l tried

125 pounds. The eruption on my skin was
accompanied by severe itching. 1t was first
confined to my face, but afterwards spread
over the neck and head, and the itching be-

Thousands bear testimony in equally strong
terms, to the efficacy of this wonderful rem
edy in curing the most obstinate diseases. It
rouses every organ into healthy action, puri-
fies, vitalizes and enriches the blood, and,
through it, cleanses and renews the whole
system. All blood, skin, and scalp diseases,
worst scrofula are cured by it. For letter,
salt-rheum, eczema, erysipelas, boils, car
ouncleS, goitre, OF thick neck, and enlarged
glands and swellings, it is an unequaled
remedy. Virulent, contagious, blood poison
is robbed of its telrors by the Discovery"
and by its persevering use the most tainted
system renovated and built e:p orseeo.

An Acrobatic Shine.

The man was tall and lank, with keen
blue eyes, looking over a nose like par
rot's beak. a shaggy growth of uneven
whiskers sprouted in patches from his
face, and he wore a long drab ulster,
which partly covered huge pair of mud
covered topboots, into which were stuffed
the ends of varicolored pair of overalls
With badly worn carpet gripsick in
his hand he leaned against the wire fence
beside the registers Office and called a
bootblack.
Two Italians responded, and each
claimed the customer. After volley of
Mulberry street explosives each grabbed
foot and set to work. The man eyed
them closely and clutched his grip lit
tie tighter. In a moment the bootblacks
renewed their dispute, and in their anger
yanked the mans feet in the air. For a
moment he poised, balanced on the wire,
and then with a whoop fell backward
upon the withered grass plot. A crowd
collected, and the Italians scampered off.
Their victim, With one boot shined and
the other muddy, picked himself up
slowly.

Fast COlOrs.

A useful point is made by a writer in
The Economist in regard to the term
''fast colors," as applied to printed and
woven cottons. The rule is laid down
that the more delicate in shade dye is
the more difficult it is to fix it in the cot
ton fiber, but even the crudest colors will
fade if goods are imperfectly treated in
the laundry. ANY of the goods, in fact,
that are sold as fast colors, whether of
domestic or foreign manufacture, are
practically fast, but when subjected to
the powerful chemicals of which many of
the washing soaps are composed, or when
hung out for hours on clothesline and
exposed to the bleaching influences of
sun and air, tie colors must necessarily
fade to a greater or less extent. 1t is
we'll known that the chemicals con-
tanned in washing soaps and similar
compounds are in many cases as power
full as those employed in the process of
bleaching muslins. In not a few in
stances, too, they are probably of a
greater degree of strength, the result
being that they weaken the cloth to an
extent that the bleacher would not be
disposed to risk.

THE OLD VALENTINE.

A souvenir Of the bygone years
Breathing old odors faint as musk
Which roses spill In dew and dusk:
Its blazoned pages dulled by tears;
Its faded Cupid dropping low,
With broken wing and rusty bow:
A leaf of life turned old and scar.
Yet still she holds it sweet and dear.
For love embalms each simple line
OF that old, faded valentine.
She pores upon the cherished page
A lily past her morning glow,
But fair as in the long ago.
To such as she what matters age,
Whose love is ageless, and whose truth
Makes IN her soul eternal youth?
Still unforgotten kisses thrill
With rapture her swift pulses; still
She cries: How bright this world would De
Could you, o Love, come back to me,
AS once my own and only mine,
My bonny knight and valentinel
1.-THE fault was mine-oh, hapless fate.-
To learn our needs and blame too late,
When prayers and tears cannot atone
For wrong and sorrow dealt our oSni'
But, 10, a tread of eager feet
Presages something strange and sweet!
He comes, forgiven, to forgive!
''Sweetheart, to love that is to live,
And love like ours can never die"
Nor need to voice her hearts reply
More eloquent the dumb, dear sign
OF that long treasured valentine.

THE SALVATION ARMY.
Some Errors Concerning it Are
Corrected.

Mr.. EDITOR: If you will kindly
allow me a little space in your pa
per, I should like to correct few
erroneous ideas in re the Saliva
ton Army, which the questions
and remarks of numerous people
during the past few days would in
dictate as existing.
There is but one Salvation Army
in the world. 1t has one General e,
Mr.. Booth, who organized the
work. Under him are Command
ers, Majors, Captains and Lieuten-
ants.
These people are under as strict
discipline as are members of any
army, and not one of them can
station him or herself except by
order of the Commander of the
country in which they are work
ing.
In case they come to Honolulu
it will be by express personal COM
mand of Darlington Booth, Com
mander of the United States forces
and son of the General.
Only the best of officers will be
sent and Mr.. Booth will be respon-
sible for them and their actions.
They will be accountable to him
only.
There was a man here some four
years ago who claimed to represent
the army, but who had no more
right to use their name than has a
man to use the name of business
firm after they have discharged
him.
This man was dishonorably dis
charged by them for cause at Santa
Ana, CAL, aud they were not &C
countable for his impositions here.
Only about one-half the required
guarantee has been raised to Sc
cure these people for Honolulu, and
should any one wish to help them
here they may find a subscri ption
list today at Thrum's book store on
Fort street, where they may either
make their original offer or in
creae what may have already been
subscribed by them. VERITAs.

"THE HAWAIIAN REVOLUTION"
An Opportunity for Business Men to
Avail Themselves Of.

Mr.. Wellesley Parker, the gen
tleman who has the management OF
the Art, Biographical and Adver-
Using Department of the above
history, has the work well in hand
After visiting the various scenes OF
interest from which the city is seen
at it's best, he has decided on a
hundred pictures, forming a COM
prehensive and beautiful souvenir
that will unfold the beauties of
Honolulu to the world, whose at
tention has been so strongly at
tracted to these shores, and will
undoubtedly stimulate the tnrong
of tourists that will set in as soon
as feeling of security ID assured.
The business establishments that
will be represented not only show
the exterior, but give compre-
hensive interior sketches of the
business carried on in full working
order. The samples shown OF
other cities show the various de-
partments of the industries treated
in most thorough manner. The
advertising used in the volume is
limited and will be strictly picto-
rial, and Mr.. Parker will be obliged
if those who wish to be represented
will write or telephone to him at
this office, when ne will call and
furnish designs and give all partic-
ulars. 1t may be said definitely
that the views of this city, the
public buildings, churches, and the
representative pictures of trade and
industries subscribed, will afford
very clear and accurate idea of
the town and its various CONNER
cial, social and other interests.
A special feature to the history
will be an appendix in which it is
intended to introduce in an attract
i've form half-tone portraits OF men
connected with the history of the
Islands. In addition, it is the de-
sire of the publishers to add to the
completeness of the work by pre-
vailing upon those citizens who
have handsome residences or
grounds, to arrange with Mr.. Par
ker for their appearance in its
pages.

Shum aboard.

Switchboard is popular enough in Eng
land and Scotland and used to be popular
here. but il is doubtful whether it ever
penetrated this country as far as Buffalo
or Pittsburg. 1t obtained here in drink
ing saloons run by Scotchmen, and the
last of the boards are now to be found
in one such place in Brooklyn and very
few in this city. 1t is the same game So
that which is played on shipboard. but in
reality both are forms of the old Scotch
sport of curling. Switchboard as it is
played most commonly is played with
one pound weights on long thick board
kept well sanded. 1t requires skill to
slide the weights to just the righ6 place,
and it requires more skill for the other
fellow to knock them off after they get
there.-New York Sun.
