1t Will be Changed.

The religious world has been much
exercised of late by the consideration
of His Holiness Leo XIII of the vail
dity of Anglican orders. AS a humble
priest of the Church of Christ we can
only express our establishment at the
verdict, for we have always given the
present pope the credit of being one
of the wiset and most discerning who
have sat on the papal throne. Our first
surprise was at his undertaking the
matter at all. This is the beginning of
the end of the division, so far as it
remains in the validity of orders. The
next pope or his successor will no
doubt formulate different views. AS
the Guardian says with respect to the
popes bull: |It would have been diff
cult to put the points of the controver-
sy with greater neatness and precision
in a couple of sentences, than by say
ing that the historical facts of the
transmission of Anglican orders were
one thing-their suf1ciency according
to the Roman ideal was another -

Slight Accident.

One of the Japanese who cleans the
tracks of the Hawaiian Tramcar Com
pany on King street out toward Ka-
palama, had close call at about noon
yesterday, and it is the greatest won
der in the world he did not get very
badly injured.
A car was going out toward Kapala-
ma, and met with the Japanese in the
vicinity of Bay View. Although he
was coming in an opposite direction,
and the street-car driver thought he
had seen the car, he did not make
an attempt to get out of the way, and
the mules were right upon him before
he made a move.
He jumped out into the street, and
as luck would have it, fell against
the wheels of a passing vehicle. He
was thrown violently to the ground,
but jumped up and went at his work
again as if nothing had happened.

KNEW HIS BIBLE.
How College Bows We're Fooled
in Joking DR.. F. =. Smith.

HI y III. SIIlitu.
The late DR.. F. S. Smith was, at one
time in his early life, pastor of the vii
lage church in Waterville, Me, and
was at the same time professor in Col
by University. Miss H. K. Smith re-
lates a most interesting incident which
occurred while he was quite young
man. The president of the college was
accustomed to conduct each morning
the chapel worship; but being i'll for
lead the service The students, not
knowing his great memory for exact
Biblical history, thought they would
have a little fun at the expense of the
youthful professor, and spirited the
Bible away from the chapel pulpit. DR..
Smith took in the situation, and, losing
no time in hunting for the hidden book,
repeated from memory an entire chap
ter. The next day, the Bible still not
appearing, the doctor repeated another
chapter from memory. On the third
desk, he repeated a longer chapter,
without apparently noticing the alb
sence of the book. On the fourth morn
ing, the Bible still in it's hiding place,
the professor thought he would be even
with the boys, and repeated, entirely
from memory, seventy-one verses from
one of the longest chapters in the
Gospel of Luke. He spoke with great
deliberation, taking very much more
time than was usually allotted to Bible
reading. The students found that DR..
Smith was too much for them, and
suspended further operations. Not a
word was said, but the Bible reappear-
ed, the next day, on the desk. DR..
Smith related this incident to a COM
pany of friends not long before his
death. "The growing joy of our lives"
said the surviving sister, Mrs. Parker,
"has always been my brothers and my
own familiarity with, and accurate
knowledge of, the entire Bible. The

The Inspired Camp Cook.

Outing tells about camp cookery. in.
Guiding the cook The genuine camp
cook is an artist in his way. The must.
clan makes men hear things enhancing
and the painter brings tears to the eyes
if inspired. The camp cook genius, by
the very way in which he does his work,
makes men hungry.
The camp cook" says the writer,
should take pride in the artistic ham
ding Of his utensils. particularly in the
ability to keep half dozen things going
at once. He must keep already cooked
things hot, and cook the uncooked things
meantime. To do this he has got to un-
derstand the kinds of fire to have,
whether large or small blaze. hot ashes
or redhot embers. He should also know
how to get the most work ut the least
expenditure of labor from his comrades.
Something many cooks are lacking in
Is the way TO keep camp dishes clean for
cooking. An unwashed apple saucepan
will serve to fry trout in and give them
pleasant taste, but an unwashed fish
spider will scarcely serve to cook apple
sauce III. In other words, the cook should
know when and what to wash

..ow DO YOU Dor"


to Be Answered.
An American lady who spent some
time in Paris says that she had friend
there, a French lady, who wished to
learn a little English, and did so.
Among her acquisitions in the language
was the expression, How do you do:'
to which she was careful to learn the
proper response.
One day the American lady met her
French friend on the street. The Amer
lean lady said. How do you do?" with
o smile. and passed on. She did not
stop to notice that she had left the
French lady standing ON the street in
establishment.
Soon afterward she called ON her
friend, and was received very colby by
the French lady As she did not know
of any reason why the lady should be
offended with her, she pressed her to tell
what was the matter.
Have 1 done anything to grieye
you:" she asked.
Anything to grieve meP' answered
the French lady. You meet me on the
street, you ask me how l am, you do not
wait to find out how 1 am, you pass on,
and then you ask me whether you have
done anything to grieve mev'
Then the American explained that it
is not customary for Americans to wait
for an answer to their inquiry, How
do you do:" that they commonly utter
the words and pass on. or if they stop
to speak, at once begin to talk of other
matters.
The French lady could hardly express
her astonishment. 1.-The Americans do
many very, very strange things" she
said, but this is the strangest of all.'
The French, when they are Of the de-
gree of acquaintance that justifies i'll
quiry as to the health of another, stop
and hear all about it, and all about the
health Of the respective families When
all this information has been exchanged,
the two persons part with many adieux
and elaborate good wishes for each 9TH
er's continued health and happiness.
The Italians frequently embrace one
another i'll public places and shake
hands several times and commit one
another in parting to the care of God.
The Americans and the English are tine
only people that question each other as
to their health without stopping TO find
out anything about it.-Youth's Com

not measure more than seven inches in

their backs and their claws held aloft.
