VOICE OF THE PRESS.

The Congressman who named his
baby "Liliuokalani" ought, in self
protection, to change it before the
child gets old enough to swing
Indian clubs.-Washington Star.
Royalty has ever been a shining
mark for the calumny of the multi
tude, ard her dusky ex majesty of
the Hawaiian ISLANDS has come in
for her full share. But her utter
srces on her recent trial reveal her
character in a new light to the world.
On the afternoon Of the Sunday on
which the unsuccessful revolt was
precipitsted, she testified she took q
carriage drive and then "went in to
family prayers" Can the word OF q
sovereign or ex sovereign be doubted,
and must we now dismiss as incred-
IDLE aud Infamous the many circum-
stantisl stories about the alleged
relations of this pious woman of ex
allied rank with marshal Wilson?
CorrOborstiYe evidence of Liliuosa-
lani's moral recititude and familiar
ity with Holy Writ is found also in
the passage of her statement in
which sue say-: ut would have
been sad indeed if the doctrine of the
Christian missionary fathers, taught
to my people by them and those who
succeeded them, should have fallen,
like ,he seed IN the parable, upon
barren ground" But we fear that
the cynical will murmur something
abont 1.-The Devil quoting Scripture"

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP
When you go out shopping, consider
think of the money in your pocket
and take account Of the many stores
whose various attractions are laid
before you.
There Is Y, with temptations in

PLEASE PAUSE!
And remember your pocket is con-

STOP AND THINK!
Would it not be well to go where
for forty years HONEST GOODS
and HONEST PRICES go hand in

Beauty and durability, instead of
mere show and display, is the virtue
of goods handled by us.
To sell at a sraall Profit in every

JAPANESE DO AS THEY PLEASE.
Officer of the Concord Gives In
pressions of War in the Orient.

RANOOANAO W ~ - 49, NA@S NN@N--N'
The following is an extract from q
letter of a well known naval officer
at this port to lady; former resi-
dent of Japan:
"Of course you and your husband
must be deeply interested In the pre-.
sent war between China and Japan.
The Japanese seem to he doing just
what they please with the Chinese.
At Chimulpo and other places we
have seen numbers of Japanese
landed, and affairs could not have
been handled better nor more
quietly. The Japanese preserve
perfect order wherever they go, and
act in striking contrast to the Chinese
soldiers.
1.-THE facts are these: Every japan
ese wishes to go to the war and serve
his country, and they are we'll dis
ciplined nation. The soldiers are all
young, subordinate aud efficient,
and actnated by a love of country
and of glory. The Chinese are rot
ten as a nation, their officials squeeze
money all along the line, until life
becomes not worth living to the
lower class.s. Each Chinaman
wishes to make money, and prefers
that the other fellow should do the
fighting. Their methods are antique
and arms the same. japan is certain
to have just what she wants, and
that, L believe, very soon."
The officer referred to is on the
Concord" which was at Chin Kiang

Glass. too, must not be neglected,
and tumblers or glass of any sort
should not be placed upon the table
without first being polished with a
fine linen glass-towel. Cut glass is
not seen so commonly as formerly. It
has latterly been the fashion to use
different styles of glass for each course,
or for each kind of wine. A tall grace
full green hock glass made in Germany
is nice for Sauterne. delicate Vene-
tan glass for champagne, a quaint old
English glass for sherry, and water
tumblers or goblets of Bohemian or
Austrian ware, all go to make the
table look odd and dressed up" Sets
of china are no longer necessary; each
course has its own individual style.
There is an endless variety from which
TO choose; and even with a small
amount of money one can make q
very pretty selection. For breakfast
and for luncheon. on the contrary, sets
of china are used, and nothing can DO

DINNER CUSTOMS.
Some Points on the Use Of Certain Arricsss
of Table Ware.

Some Points on the Use Of Certain Artics>s
of Table Ware.
At an informal dinner not long ago
the question of the procession of the
knives and forks" was discussed at
length. Besides ones plate is always
placed, in formidable array, a number
of knives and forks. and in these days
of luxurious belongings and ingenious
devices these common articles Of every
day use assume unique and inconceiva-
BILE forms and shapes. and often puzzle
the most experienced diners out" as
to their various purposes. To one un-
accustomed to novelties of this sort it
IS sometimes extremely difficult to
know which fork to take up, and the
only way to avoid making a mistake
aud causing self-em barrassment Is TO
keep ones eye on the hostess and fol-
low her lead. The forks should be SO
carefully and Systematically arranged
that all one has to do is to use them IN
rotation. beginning at the one next
the plate or at the one farthest from
the plate In certain western towns
the rule is to ''eat in" expressed in
their local vernacular-thati is 20 begin
with the oyster-fork. which is at the
head of the line, and to take them as
they are placed. which Is presumably
in the proper order. II the dinner Is a
long one. and consists of many courses,
II is a mistake to attempt to put suf-
fcient knives and forks al every course
on the table This makes too much OF
an array, fills up too much space, gives
a cluttered appearance 10 the table,
and is entirely unnecessary. Espe-
cially difficult would ii be to do this il
ones outfit of small silver were limited,
as is very apt 20 be the case. particular
Iv in a moderate-sized household. For
ice cream. forks are universally used
although it is good idea 70 have a
spoon also. as some persons still prefer
IL.
The care OF silver is an essential part
OF the education OF the waitress or
butler. and nothing adds so much 10
the beauty of dinner table as brightly
polished plate; it also reflects cre9i'
upon the housekeeper. It Is unwise
TO allow q servant ever TO lapse ID this
respect: she should have certain da !.
set apart each week for cleaning tie

BUYING BABIES.

Now the Men In Trinidad Secure Their
Brides.
The old silversmith gave me a good
idea of coolie marriage customs, and
surprised me by saying that almost
every little girl in the village was en-
gagged, as we would express it. They
had all been picked out and paid for,
some of them not more than two or
three years old, and from the time they
were old enough to speak or think they
knew who was to be their future hus-
band, or papa" as the Hindoo women
call husband. In many cases the sale
had been made in India, and the hus-
bands were only waiting for the girls
TO grow large enough to marry, which
meant usually about twelve years old.
When the arrangement was made in
India the future husband would not
emigrate unless his little sweetheart"
and her parents emigrated also. There
were several cases in the village. / was

UNION PACIFIC BACKS DOWN.
1t Is Learning Not to Ask for Things 1
Can't Get.

Chicago. Feb. 6.-The Union Pacific
today withdrew its demand for the In
eertion of its rates in the western rate
sheet in such a manner as to give the
impression that it is the only road doing
business between the Missouri river
and California. 1t never had the
smallest chance Of getting what II
asked and it's back down was only
matter of few days. The committee
still has hopes that it will be found
possible to put into effect on Feb. 10
the advance in trans Missouri and trans
continental rates, which was decided
upon in the latter part of January. III
no settlement is reached with the Union
Pacific by that time. however, it will
be found necessary TO put off the adj

Elaborate Rules OF Etiquette Which Are

Elaborate Rules OF Etiquette Which Are
Strictly Followed.
If a man of taste should enter a
Japanese parlor. he would not fail to
be surprised at the display of marvel
lous and exquisite taste. Yet have
often heard the saying of foreigners
that 1.-The japanese house has no fur
n;ture, and is absolutely cherries and
empty" This is quite wrong. / must
say that they have no taste of the
japanese art; for the men of taste are
agreed in saying that the art of decora-
ton in Japan is excellent. If anyone
has some taste in this art, be will per-
ceive that the hanging picture on the
toxic wall, elaborate arrangement Of
flowers, pictures on the framed par
titions, and all decoration, however
trifiing, reveal infinite taste. The
tastes of the western people differ so
much from ours that the decoration
in their cham bers seems almost child.
ISL to the japanese eyes. The gorgeous
display of colors in their rooms would
please our children to look at. Drawing
rooms piled up from corner to corner
with toys, shells, stones, dishes, spoons
and different nov.l things always re-
mind us of our curio shops. A bunch
of flowers is stuck in q vase without
form. and without order! The pictures
in the rooms hang perpetually, though
the face of nature and feeling of man
change from time to time! All these
sights which we are accustomed to see
in the European house excite in us
nothing but wonder. Yet this is the
taste of the western people. We have
no right TO criticise it.
In Japan the family never gathers
around one table as the European or
other Asiatic people do, but each per-
Sou has his or her own separate table,
a foot square and foot high, and al
ways highly decorated. When they
take their meals they kneel upon the
mat, each taking his table before him.
The little lacquered table generally
contains small porcelain bowl. heaped
up with deliciously-cOoked rice. and
several lacquered wooden bowls con-
tanning soup or meat. and numbers
of little porcelain plates with fish.
radishes, and the like. The way of
cooking, of course, is entirely different
from the Eropean. Two pretty chop
sticks, made of lacquered bamboo or
wood. silver or ivory. are used. instead
of knife, fork and spoon. and all peo-
pie use them with great skill. All
foods are prepared in the kitchen, so
as to avoid any trouble to use knife
and fork. Soup is to be drunk from
the bowl by carrying it to the mouth
by hand, in the same way as people
drink tea or coffee. Table etiquette
has elaborate rules, which high-bred
ladies and gentlemen most strictly fol-
low. A maid-servant always waits,
kreeling, at short distance, before q
clean pa a of boiled rice, with lacquered
tray, on which she receives and deliv.
ers the bowls for replenishing them.
Fragrant green tea is always used at
the end of the meal, but sugar and
cream never.-Harper's Bazaar.
