Popular Topics Of The Day.

Honolulu has as many machin-
lists considering the population as
any place We know of - and
they're good machinists too, men
who can take a steel rod and with
the assistance of lathe fashion it
into parts for the most intricate
machinery for an engine. To do
this, of course, requires know
ledge of tools as we'll as the hand
ling of them.
In our store room one depart
ment contains the most complete
assortment of machinists, tools in
the city. Look at them and you
will find they are all of first
quality (the price will give you
the impression that they are
thirds) every one of them shining
like an Africans heel. The as
sortment consists of hammers-all
sizes and shapes from the cute
little one used by the jewellers to
the heavy one which the boiler
maker uses in riveting the steel
plates together. Then we have
the Handy Pipe Wrench, new
device without fault. This tool
will be found convenient one even
in the house where none of the
occupants are machinists. Hand
vises for machinists can be had
of us in every size manufactured,
so can Pipe Vises and Cold
Chisels. We have every thing
used by metal workers in their
trade.
Then we have a stock of car
penters wood working tools
second to none in the city-frst
only in quality. You cannot
cali for tool used by carpenter
that we do not have in stock.
Another thing you may be in re-
ested in is an axe that will hold
it's edge-a new thing in axes and
something every one needs about
the house.
Bird cages have been mention.
ed in another paper; just here we
will say that the stock we carry
is complete.

GIRL CONE.

We have lost another girl. England
has got her. That, perhaps, is enough
to suggest that she was rich. Miss
Mary Letter, daughter OF L z. Letter
of the late firm of Field, Letter & Co.,
of Chicago. now Marshall Field & Co.,
was married last week to a young Eng
lishman, who is a member OF the Eng
lish House of Commons. Miss Letter
did not marry q prince, or a count or a
duke, but simply a a He seems to
be a very worthy young man, too; and
she is a very worthy girl. She is rich,
or rather her father is, but her own
personal graces would have been suff-
Gent to have secured her a good hus-
band, even if she were not a prospec-
tive heiress. Still the fact remains
that this young Englishman would
never have married Miss Letter but for
her money; and there is something so
repulsive in an American. girl taking a
husband under such conditions that
language fails to describe it. One
would suppose that the spirit of an
American girl would rebel against the
very thought. But we wish the lady
well. We can spare her. We still
have millions of the best girls that ever
breathed the air of heaven and most OF
them r willing to marry men who
have the grandest title that men ever
bore, the title of American Farmers

Diogenes Could Put a Little Tartness
Into His Philosophy.
A man was seen standing in front of
the tub of Diogenes talking earnestly
with the philosopher and very shortly
went away. A half hour later a friend
met Diogenes some distance from his
tub.
"Ah," he said, "good morning. You
seem to be going somewhere"
II am" responded the philosopher,
CURLY.
"But you haven't your lantern with
you"
mo. There's no use taking it along
on this trip"
where are you going9"
Down to see the people in the gas
office. They've sent a man up with a
bill for four dollars and seventy five
cents for the last month and I want to
find out when they put a meter on my
lantern"
On another occasion a friend met Di-
ogenes going toward the capitol with
only a staff in his hand.
"Ah, old man." he said to the phi
losopher, where's your lantern to-
day7"
Locked up in my tub" responded
the philosopher.
"Why haven't you got it with you9"
"Oh, I'm going up to pay a visit to
congress and I don't want to lose that
lantern yet awhile" and the philoso-
pher smiled serenely and trotted along.
A Roman lawyer on a business trip
to Athens for the first time, met Diog-
enes on the street.

him, may I inquire why you are wan

~lantern9"

replied the cynic eying him sharply.
"Well, I like that, laughed the law
yer.
Like what7" inquired Diogenes.
Like to see an old party like you
poking around a big town with a Ian
tern looking for an honest man."
"Well, you don't have to-" retorted
the old fellow, "you notice that I don't
blow out the light and stop searching
when I meet you, SIR"
Thus did the rare old cynic some
times get even.-DetrOit Free Press.

A HOTEL.

The pompous, want the-earth gentle
man from an eastern city was stopping
for a day or two on business in a Michi-
gan town which is only large enough
to maintain one hotel, kept very nicely
by a very nice woman, but, of course,
not up to the metropolitan standard.
The pompous guest made himself gen.
orally obnoxious by his constant de-
demands for what it was impossible to
give him and by his criticisms and
complaints of the lack of accomoda-
tions. Finally the lady herself was
called in.
Cant I get anything I want in this
house, MADAME he said to her.
"You can get anything we have, but
no more, sir, she responded.
well, it's strange that when a man
pays his good money he gets nothing
for it"
Tim sorry, but we really are doing
the best we can"
Probably you are" he grumbled
"but I'm not used to stopping at a one
horse hotel"

manners.

hotel in town so you could go to it and
feel better satisfied. "-DetrOH Free

AN ESSAY ON A

Man is an omnivorous animal.
Some smart people call him a biped,
but this is geological error.
He's just a plain every day two,
legged animal.
Man is found in most parts of the
world.
He roams at will, feeds in the day
time and sleeps at night.
Some nights.
You can put your hand on him any.
where, SO long as you do not put it on
his pocketbook. He has, under such
conditions been known to kick.
He is like the dog bowls a good deal
and runs around at night.
Like the elephant he has a trunk, but
he doesn't always take it with him.
The elephant does.
AS to what man is really good for,
anthropology is still in the dark.
Being strong, he is used to draw
pictures, carry news and pull revolv-
ers.
He is also fast and often goes in the
human race.
Properly trained man can jump
higher than any other known animal.
He has even been known to jump
mountain resort board bills.
Although in many ways man is like
other animals, in this respect he is diff
ferent from them all; he lies standing
up.-NeUU Orleans Picagune.

DIR. P~ARKHURST ON FEMALE
COLLEGES.

Let it once be settled that womanli-
ness is the finest product which a fe-
male college can yield, with all that
tendency wifeward and m~otherward
which is the instructive outcome of wo-
manliness-I say, let this once be set
tied and a large beginning will already
have been made toward deciding the
methods and machinery by which the
college will do it's work and compass its
ends. writes the Rev. Charles FL. Park
hurst, D. D., in the May Ladies' Home
Journal.
With all this we'll in mind it is easy
to wonder whether it quite COMFORTS
with the situation that so much of the
discipline and instruction of female
colleges, as is commonly the case,
should be in the hands of men. The
question at any rate is worth asking.
Such schools are largely an innovation
that it is reasonable to suppose that the
best methods of administering them
have not yet been hit upon. The male
president of such college and such male
professors as r upon it's staff of in
struction, may all believe that woman's
chief end On earth is to be a wife and
mother and to cultivate the best posi-
bilities of her offspring; and these male
functionaries may all teach this doc
trine with emphatic r~eiteration, but is
it presumable that masculine influence
will produce feminine effects9 The
gentleman members of the faculty may
be so thoroughly persuaded of hetruth
of what I have here been urging that
they will be able to convince their lady
pupils of the same truth; but it is one
thing to persuade a class of young wo-
men that womanliness is the greatest
accomplishment possible to them, and
quite a distinct thing to secure and ma
ture in them that womanliness.
1 never expect to see the teaching
force of a male college made up, in
part, of women.
Why does it any more comport with
the fitness of things that the teaching
force of a female college should be
made up, in whole or in part, of men9
Is there any doubt but if women COM
petent for the position were attainable
they would meet the requirements of
the case in a way that men cannotG
Is it not pretty clear, without argu-
ment, that a thoroughly womanly wo-
man a do more toward helping a
college girl to become a woman than a
thoroughly manly man can doG We
may become so wonted to an infelic
itous usage as not to realize it's infe-
licity. There would be no pertinence
in the suggestions if it were the case
that the object of a female college is to
make scholarly women.
