There are said 10 be Michigan white
cedar shingles now doing good service on
roofs In that State that have been in full
exposure and wear for over seventy-hya
years. II Is thus seen that climate af-

should the mocking bird increase as
this has done, owing to its food being

How close is the connection between
very different animals and between
fauna and flora was playfully shown
by Darwin in his great work. Old
maids, he said, have a fondness for
keeping a number of cats; cats kill
great numbers of field mice, which
largely destroy the nests of humble
bees-the latter are necessary for fer
tiliZing the flower of the red clover,
and therefore the number of old maids
in district may be said to influence
the clover crop.
The avi fauna of Hawaii is absolute
ly unique. Of over fifty species of
Passerine birds, not one is known from
elsewhere. The majority, indeed, are
so peculiar that they form distinct
family, known only from this group.
A number of species are already ex

How many residents of Honolulu are

that it can be almost caught in the

Large Number of Families Have
Arranged for Accommodations.
Mrs. Freimann has made extern
sive repairs to the Richelieu, not
the least being all enlargement of
the already spacious dining par
lors by having partitions removed,
thereby making the whole much
larger and more convenient for SER
vice. These and other changes
have been made necessary by an
increased number of guests, both
local and transient. The approach
ing festivities incident to Chinese
New Year, which will begin to-
morrow, will increase the patron
age of the Richelieu by a large
number of families, who have
arranged for accommodations at
that Justly popular and frst-class
hostelry during the time of the
Chinese celebration and perma-
nently make their home at the
Richelieu. Mrs. Freimann has
ample accommodation for all those
who may desire excellent service.
It is well known that many resi-
dents will be without servants
during Chinese New Year, and
while large number have decided
to spend the interim at the Richie
lieu, many more can be comforta-
bly looked after. A German dim
ner will be served next Saturday
evening at the Richelieu, with the
HAWAIIAN Club in attendance.

OTHER DAYS.

Alas! alas for the days gone by,
OF the flaming cheek and the flashing eye;
OF the timid touch of the finger tips,
OF the petals blow from the poppy lips.
When days were dreams and nights were
long,
And life flowed on like rivers song,
Under June days golden sky
Alas alas for the days gone by.
Alas! alas for the days gone by,
And alas, that our youth should ever die
Good fortune may come and evil may go,
But nothing can WOO back youth, we
know.
Youth, with its fragrance, charms, and
flush,
Goes, like the lyric of last years thrush
Youth will laugh when it hears age sigh
Alas alasl for the days gone by.

MONSIEUR ALpHONSE CHAMFORT,
BY STERLING KANE.

| MIS-, Hamilton CUISINE was out lot
big catch from the matrimonial pofid
for her daughter. Miss Titia, OF
course. Three times she had cast line
for herself, with bait sufficiently Sc
ductive 90 iand--not just what she
desired. Bit fish-that 10, husbands
better than no husbands at all.
Now she proposed to apply this ex-
perience to her daughters interest
She decided to try the marriage mart
of summer resorts, a winters cam
paign in home society having proved
beyond doubt that marrying the girl
off at all would be attended with diff
ficulty.
Notwithstanding Mrs. Cuisines
tremendous outlay on Miss Titia's
summer wardrobe, Notwithstanding
that she announced wherever she went
that her daughter had an angel dis
position and an artist talent, and not
withstanding that she confdentially
whispered now and then flor she
wouldn't have it get out for the world)
that the girl would soon come into
possession of great wealth, notwith-
standing all this, the young lady
seemed sadly to require additional and
more enticing bait. So far from Sc
curing downright bite, she scarcely
got nibble.
Mrs. Cuisine had the disappoint-
ment of seeing poor Titia's hand often
unsolicited for the dance, while other
girls leaned on the bosom Of manly
broadcloth, which looked as if it might
turn suitor at any moment.
But not until the fourth resort was
visited did the untiring efforts Of
mother and daughter get the reward
which they SO anxiously awaited.
A stylish-looking man of IS sat OPP
posite them at the table one morning.
Mrs. Cuisine was at once seized
with strange presentiments, and was
SO impressed with his appearance that
she quickly called Titia to rights by
touching her foot slyly and prodding
her under the table TO look and talk
her best. Pretty soon their visivis
spoke to the waiter, Mrs. Cuisine
nearly tainted A Erenchmanl He
spoke English, but oh, that beautiful
Partisan accent
A foreigner was just to Mrs. Gus
tines notion. OF course, her wealth
was not great enough to secure title
for Titia, but foreigner. we'll born,
we'll educated and as handsome as this
man opposite them! All, that would
far surpass any home production
She was tired anyhow of common
place, humdrum Americans, all alike
boorish, tobacco-stained and liquor
fumedl
What work of supererrogation to
give the detail of how this charming
acquaintance progressed, through the
various stages admiration, friend
ship, passionate love, proposal, ac-
ceptance, parental consent! 1t was
affinity, irresistible. from the first
glance
M. Chamfort's first desire was to
convince Mrs. Cuisine of his WORTH
ness. His birth and social standing
were vouched for by many letters Of
introduction, which he modestly yet
proudly placed in her hands. And
those that he read to her daily from
relatives and distinguished friends in
France! All, what good fortune even
to have met such gentleman So
free, too, from the lofty arrogance of
the average foreigner. Any girl
might be proud to win his love, were
he nothing more than humble peasant
or tradesman.

Dig down to the cause of your sick
ness. if you want to get well and stay
well. Most likely it's Indigestion.
The irritating poisons of fermenting,
putrid food, left in the stomach by
indigestion cause headache neuralgia.
nervousness, dizziness, stomach-ache.
nausea, irritability, and all the other
we'll known symptoms of indigestion.
They also cause many pains and
disorders which are often laid to other
causes and hence are not easily cured.
But as soon as the poisons are remov-
ed, all these symptoms and disorders
disappear, because there is nothing
left to cause them. Nothing succeeds
in this like Shaker Digestive Cordial,
because it prevents the undigested
food from ferinenting in the stomach
and helps the stomach to digest its
food.
