The use of incense in tho early Chris
tian church would appear ut first to have
met with strong opposition, and in the
contradictory statements Of the early IA
| theirs we see the traces of warm contro-
versy. That enthusiastic archaologist,
Didron, In his "Annalcs Archeologiqucs, +"
has collected IA wealth of information bear
ing on the use of perfumes in the different
Christian rituals. Writing as pious
mcdi,nvalist, he contrasts the pagan abuse
Of perfumes, ministcring to their widest
orgies, with their more spiritual and re
fined employment in the service of the
| church.
Certainly at no time has the cult of per
fumes been carried TO a higher poiut than
that reached by the wealthy Romans of
the empire. Witness the important part
that they play in the anecdotes of fcasting
and fast" life which we find scattered
through the pages of Apuleius, Petronius,
AnthenRus and Lucian.
In his Banquet" Athenmus quotes an
authority who recommends that the legs
should be washed with an Egyptian per.
fumc taken from box of gold, the mouth
and the breast with liquor made from
dates, the arms with mint the eyebrows
and hair with marjoram, the knees and
the neck with thyme" In these dcbauches
| do lodorat the very vessels from which
they drank, brought Mt great expense from
Egypt, were manufactured from perfumed
clay and fire in II kiln heated with aroma
tics. -Blackwood' Magazine

A Child's Explanation.

When child has lively imagination, but
has not yet reached the age when it can
reason, truth has hard time Of it occa-
'ionally. Little Edith b., years old,
sometimes shows temper. Her nurse asked
her to do something the other day, and
Edith fatty refused. When the nurse in
| sisted that Edith must do 1t, she raised
her doll with youthful passion, and throw
ing 1t down violently shattered its head
| to pieces.
Edith" said her mother, when your
father comes home you should go to him
and tell him what you have done"
Edith's father came home at the usual
| hour but she did not offer TO tell him any
| thing about the doll, AS he had been told
by the mother what had happened, he
finally took his daughter ON his knee.
Has Edith been u good girl today" he
asked.
YES, she's been very good" was the
modest answer.
Are you sure that she has been good
all day."
Let me see," said Edith, gazing afar
OF in u thoughtful way. Yes" with en-
phasis, Il think that she has been very
good girl all day"
Has Mamie (the dolD been all right
today"
"Oh, Mamie" said Edith coolly, Twas
not good girl. She went out when told
her not to go. She was walking along
when she fell down ON the sidewalk and
broke her head off. New York Tribune

Nervous,


She was extremely fond Of drawing or
making Il pretense at it. Often she
would go about with sketchbook, pen
Gil and preoccupied expression, even
awning her friends with her great genius.
Down in the art gallery her efforts were
much admired, especially her study of
animals, and so the dear little girl fan
cied herself a second Rose Bonheur
Now, she was inspired to paint cows,
goats and pigs, so one fine morning she
betouk herself to suburban farmyard
beyond Wells. All alone under a spread
ing tree she commenced sketching "A
humble bossy COW that was strolling
slowly across the dusty road in search
of clover. A great work of art would
have been produced no doubt had not a
bicycle rider made his appearance, and

jerk, and down came bicycle, rider

TRADE PROSPECTS,

1t may be taken to be as good as
settled that traffic is opened again
between Honolulu and the Island
of Hawaii. THE STAR confidently
expects to learn by the next mail
that the Cocoanut Island quaran-
tine has been abandoned and that
passengers and freight will be re-
ceived OH the conditions provided
in the Honolulu regulations. 1t is
certain that the Hilo restrictions
will be made less severe.
Maui cannot long stand out
against the example of Hawai-
and new and definite knowledge OF
the real situation and the actual de-
gree OF danger. Hawaii's new Board
of Health had been organized but a
few hours when the quarantine on
passengers was made ten days and
the fumigation of freight ordered.
Maui's new Board Of Health had
not been organized at all when the
Claudine was sent from her shores.
No doubt the people of Maui will
adopt a reasonable course.
Kaui will come around and there
is hope even for the return into the
union of the Free and Independent
State of Pearl City. The lates,
from Kauai was that coal had to be
disinfected, then rest in quarantine
twenty DAYS. This absurdity was
coupled with the refusal to listen
10 a proposal for a beach quaran
tine of Geo. H. Fairchild, Rufus
Spalding and Deputy Sheriff Willis.
Together with the Punishment oil
Kamaaina V. Knudsen, these &c
centricities make all extreme from
which there cannot but be a most
radical relaxation, and that at an
early date.
The indications then, are that
trade, under conditions favorable as
a visitation of cholera can afford,
will soon be under way again. This
is good. For trade is almost as
important as health. Commerce is
the handspring OF life.

puNcTUALirY.-I owe everything in
the world to being always a quarter OF
an hour beforehand. - Lord Nelson.
What a lot of sorrow and
misery would have been saved
if Lord Nelson's practice had
been carried out in Honolulu;
had the disease breeding place
known as Kapuukolo and the
Nuuanu stream both been look
ed after by the authorities
some months ago, we might
have been spared the present
visitation. We have always
boasted of our climatic condi-
tions, depending on the winds
to sweep disease into the sea.
Up to few weeks ago, the
Trades did their work nobly,
but we now find that it requires
more than a breeze to disinfect
tainted atmosphere. Every
man, woman and child who has
crossed the King street bridge
at low tide will recall very
unpleasant odor; an odor that
seemed to impregnate every
thing in the vicinity. None
would admit that such a condi-
ton was beneficial to the health
of the community, but nothing
was done. We depended on
the winds and a water-how
from the mountains to accom-
plish what man neglected and
we let it GO at that. 1t is now
proposed to do something in
regard to the Nuuanu stream
One man wanted to disinfect
it, another thought if it was
walled in, danger would be re.
duced to a minimum. The
latest scheme is to divert the
course in the direction of Iwi
lei. An engineer says the
latter idea is not a good one fol
the reason that the water coulc
be made to run over the course
proposed on account of the bee
of the stream being very low
Another objection has beer
made by some bright mind
Mr.. Bright Mind states that
the fresh water from the stream
flows out into the ocean. Thi:
is not news, but the same MAJ
goes farther and claims thai
the said fresh water prevents
the formation of coral at the
entrance to the harbor. H,
does not state how the fresl
water drops to the bottom anc
then flows out. Perhaps he
has it all figured out in his OWL
brilliant mind and we must be
satisfied if he does not take u.
into his confidence.
We have a plan to purify
the stream. 1t is both gooc
and inexpensive. We have il
stock a number of Roberts
Ozonators, handy little ma
chine that can be fastened any
where. 1t is made in compac

away" Knickers have become so proper that the fn-de-sieele girl, who cares only for the thing that is trife risque, doesn't have to wear them. They will stand on their own legs in future, to be worn or not to be worn, as they prove or fail to prove themselves the most practicable garments for cycling.
 The woman who is able to pay from sixty to eighty dollars for thoroughly up-to-date and thoroughly conventional wheeling dress is out on the boulevards this spring in pepper and salt melton skirt, made to open on the sides instead of in the back, and coming down to the top of the shoes. This skirt is scant or full, according to the riders figure, and is lined with very heavy silk or with farmers satin. Under it she wears bloomers, or, very possibly, equestrian tights, buttoning just below the knees. A single-button eutaway coat, with shirt waist or a silk blouse, gives her the smart look so necessary to her peace of mind. Her headgear is a Scottish cap with two quills, and on her feet she has low russet shoes meeting leggings.
 The woman. or her tailor, would give these explanations: Melton is the most durable of materials; pepper and salt shows no dust; the leggings match the skirt and meet the tights or kniclkers, so that no sort of accident can cause any exposure; the Scottish cap is bright colored, and relieves the somberness of the rest of the rig The shoes are soft and low-heeled.

ing gradually fuller until the puffs which dropped over the gaiters about her knees were like scant double skirts and enormous sleeves.
 The full kniclsers, like the divided skirts, are hideous and not especially convenient. They're not worth the cost of revolution in society. There are times when compromises won't work. This is one of them. It's choice be- tween the conventional and the radical skirts and fairly close-ftting knick- CTS. There's no good foothold on any middle ground.
 The best cycling blouses are of linen. Silk is very well for amateurs. Soft gray linen, striped with pink or green or dark red, is the prettiest possible re- lief of the monotonous pepper and salt of the received riding costume.
 Riding ulsters are just on the market. To walk, or worse yet, to take street ear from home to the park, where the morning spin is to begin, is not the pleas antest of experiences. if one is new to one's knickers. Coats that come to the heels and effectually conceal the bifurcated garments are bought by every girl who can afford them.
 It seems that bloomers have come to stay.
 And now the question naturally arises-as they say in debates, when no such question would ever have thought of arising if it hadn't been fished out of obscurity against it's will-where are you going to draw the line?
 This question really does arise, don't you know. I have heard of landlady who had a boarder. That is to say, particular boarder, who had bicycle

blue or green in color, and has won- derfuliy gay little jacket to match it, with straw hat trimmed with roses. One doesn't see the French girl very often. Bicycle riders adhere to very righteous code, that, if skirts are not to be long enough to be skirts, it is really more in accord with the proprie- ties to drop them frankly, stand upon the necessities of the occasion, and come out bravely in knickers.
 The woman who rides much has her sweater This is white. with, of course, immense sleeves. Sometimes it is striped with blue or pink, or embroid- cred with club monogram. It but tons at the shoulders, and is decidedly a welcome innovation.
 The sknickers" of '95 defy descrip- tion. They are too numerous and too varied. In an hours walk in Central park this morning I noticed:
