There is revival just now of thc wat

These baskets arc not confined to the hold

Among other manifestations OF this rus

small oapes OF ermine, hardly more than a

trimmings OF white, cream or eoru guipure

The shipman's Tale.

The shipman's Tale.
Listen, my masters. speak naught but truth
From dawn to dawn they drifted on and on,
Not knowing whittier or to what dark end.
Now the north froze them, now the hot south
scorched.
Some called 10 God and found great comfort so;
Some CRASHED their teeth with curses. and some
laughed
An empty laughter seeing that they lived,
So sweet was breath between their foolish lips.
Day after day the same relentless sun,
Night after night the same IMPLYING starsl
At intervals fierce lightnings tore the clouds,
Showing vast hollow spaces and the sleet
Kissed, and the torrents of the sky were loosed.
From time 20 time hand relaxed Its grip,
And some pale wretch slid down into the dark
With stihed moan, and transient horror seized
The rest who waited, knowing what must be-
At every turn strange shapes reached up and
clutohed
The whirling wreck, held on awhile, and then
Slipped back into the blackness whence they
came.
All, hapless folk, to be 80 tost and torn,
And swept at last into the nameless void
Frail girls, strong men, and mothers with their
babesl
And were none saved2
My masters..not SOUL
Oh, shipman, woeful, woeful Is thy tale
Our hearts are heavy, and our eyes are dimmed.
What ship is this that suffered such Ill fate2
What ship, my mastersf Know 70 notf The
World.

BODlCES AND CAPES.

Bonnets and Gowns.


Bonnets and Gowns.
The blouse bodice is seen still in many
different styles, but there is usually some
similarity in color between 1t and the skirt
with which it is worn. A silk blouse
worn with plain skirt should be of the
same color or trimmed with the same col
or, or if the suit is figured the figure or
ground may be like the skirt. If the skirt
is of figured goods, the blouse of plain silk
should be of one of the tints In the skirt.
Delicate colors and fanciful trimmings
are characteristic of this seasons costumes
and accessories. Orchids are among the
most fashionable flavors and are seen In all
their curious and fantastic variety. The
large, purple cottleyias lend themselves
particularly well to the present caprice for
lilac and gold, these two colors being found
in combination in many evening costumes,
capes, fan decorations and bonnets. The
newest artificial flowers are those which
can be made very full and double, like
roses and peoples, and are used in many
ways for trimmings. Separate frilled petals
form ruches and berthas for the bodioes Of

allow shall habit break7"
As you did that habit make.
As you gathered, you must lose;
As you yielded, now refuse.
Thread by thread the strands we twist
Till they bind us neck and wrist;
Thread by thread the patient hand
Must untwine ere free we stand.
As we buided, stone by stone,
We must toll unhelped, alone,
Till the wall Is overthrow.
But remember, as we try,
Lighter every test goes by;
Wading in, the stream grows deep
Toward the center's downward sweep;
Backward turn, each step ashore
Shallower is than that before.
All, the precious years we waste
Leveling what we raised in haste;
Doing what must be undone
Ere content or love be wcnl
First across the gulf we cast
Kite borne threads, till lines are passed.
And habit builds the bridge at lastl

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale OF
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, 1t has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as II medi-
cinal agent, and of the Cumpany's
efforts, is attested by the sale Of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy, which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are used, MS they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneticially.
II in the enjoyment Of good health
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but il
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup o
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most genera
satisfaction.

Governor Budd Refuses to Interfere
With Kamaunu'S Sentence.

Governor Budd listened yesterday to
the arguments of F. M. Walsh, who was
sent by the Hawaiian Government 10
ask him to examine into the case OF
Paulo Kamaunu, who was sentenced
to death for the murder of an ola
woman near Latrobe. Kamaunu was
an old servitor of Kalakaua and the late
Queen, and appealed to her to save hlan
from punishment, and Mr.. Walsh was
sent to the Governor.
District Attorney Carpenter of Ell DO
rado appeared for the people and gave
an account of Kamaunu's crime, when
was of the most brutal on record, the
aged woman having been kicked and
beaten to death for the purpose OF rob-
berry
The Governor said that from what he
had seen and heard, he having read
over the evidence, he would not feel JUS
tilted in interfering, as he could find no
cause for doing so. Under proper cir
cumstances he would be glad to oblige
the Hawaiian Government, but in this
case there was no evidence on which he
could do so. He would, therefore, have
to decline to interfere.
Mr.. Walsh thanked him and said his
Government would be satisfied with
whatever the Governor did, and the
hearing was finished. Paulo will have
to swing therefore.

A FOUR-VOLUME LIBRARY.
Wisdom and Information Condensed
for Those Who Act Promptly.

Many busy men and women have
longed for a ready book of reference,
at once an encyclopedia and a dictlon-
cry, an Indispensable lat ones elbow

This need is supplied by the Pacific
Coast Newspaper Syndicate, which
offers a carefully prepared work, in four
volumes, under conditions that will
commend it to every discriminating
user of books iof reference. The Ency-
clopedic Dictionary contains more than
100000 defined words-twice the num-
ber in the standard dictionaries-and is
up to date in giving a complete defini-
tlon of the words that progress has
forced into common use. Moreover, it
is a comprehensive encyclopedia in all
branches of knowledge, a scientific die
tlonary, making clear terms used in
technical articles not familiar to the
average reader. See the advertisement

A Crop of Wild Oats Being Reaped

Hand. He is about 20 years of age, but
has the appearance OF a man fully ten
years younger About two years and
a half ago he met the plaintiff at a dis
reputable resort on Second street in this

came infatuated with her. He induced
her to leave there and take a room at

When the plaintiff went to her nus
bands home near Courtland, she says
she encountered there his two grown

life miserable. She was compelled to
dc the cooking and other household
work, and was allowed no privileges,
her husband siding with his daughters
who, he admitted, had the upper hand
of him.
Mrs. Talmadge is a :alker from away

she in depicting the trials and humdlia-
tons to which she was subjected for
nearly two years that the attorneys had
little else to do than listen. A question of
half-dozen words would elicit from the

husband used toward her after their

Mrs. Talmadge testified. among many
other things, that her husband had told
her repeatedly that she should be treated
right in the distribution Of his estate.

was subjected to cruel treatment, and
