Busy men and women are apt to
think there is always time to get well.
The fact that only one person in a
hundred dies of old age shows how
recklessly men and women postpone
attending to their health and allow it
to go to pieces while they devote them
selves heart and soul to affairs that are
trifiing in comparison. Wives and
mothers have no greater duty than to
see that those dear to them do not be-
come so absorbed in the work Of pro-
viding for the household as to lose
their health and shorten their days.

SUMNER IN THE HEART.

For all the wintry flakes of frost it's
summer time somewhere
Violets in the valleys, bird songs in the
air;
The chilly winds have only blown the
ily's lips apart
It's summer in the world, my dear.
and summer in the heart.
For all the gray skies glooming it's
summer in the dells
In the merry songs of reapers, in the
tinkle of the bells;
The sweet south skies are Frightening
as with springtime's magic art
But the sweetest summer, dearest, is
the summer in the heart
Still. still the birds are singing, and
still the groves are green,
And still the roses redden and the
loyal lilies lean.
Love fades not with the season; when
summer days depart,
It's summer STILL my dearest, in the
Eden of the heart

tricts. Under the present circumstan-
ces it is believed that the delegations Of
nearly every State will be instructed

the majority casts the entire vote of the

will probably not be done. In the lat
ter State the silver men will probably
gain three by the absence Of the unit

doubtful which faction viii have the

In the above estimate of $40 delegates
for silver, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan
and Ohio (f36 yotes) are the States thai
may fairly be said to be in doubt, and
the burden of available information
even from "sound money sources. is
that Illinois and Michigan are pretty
certain to instruct for silver; that IN
Indiana the tendency is the same way,
and that the Ohio delegation being di-
vided, the silver men are conceded at
least a third of the delegates.
In Iowa, which is not included in this
list, the situation is extremely uncer-
tain. Governor Boies may be a candi-
date for the presidency, and if he is,
it is thought he can easily bring a sill
yer delegation to the convention. Re

INFLUENCE OF GLASS ON WINE
A Curious Case is Cited-Substance.
In the Glass.

A Curious Case is Cited-substance.
In the Glass.
From the National Druggist
Probably ninety-nine persons out of every
hundred, taken at random, would ridicule
the idea that the quality of the glass of
which a bottle may be made can have anv
influence on the taste or keeping qualities
Of its contents. And yet that it does so we
nave the best of evidence. We are not al
irding to the Influence Of light shining
through the TASKS and its action on the
substance contained, but the direct chem
ical reaction occurring between the glass
and the material within the flask
Very recently the following case occurred
in France: wealthy retired merchant
bought lot Of very costly and rare wine
In casks, samples of the. wine from each
cesk being given him by the wine merchant.
The vine was delivered. and the new
owner proceeded to have 1t racked off and
bottled. Some time afterward some of the
Wine was brought to the table, and on tast-
Ing 1t the host detected a strange unpIeas-
ant taste, which was also noticed by the
guests. A fresh bottle was found to be
similarly affected, and bottle after bottle
as opened with the same result An ex-
animation of the stock in the cellar de-
veloped the fact that every bottle of the re-
cent purchase was spoiled. A suit was
brought against the wine merchant. who
declared that he had delivered the article
exactly according to the samples furnished
On examining these latter they were found
in excellent condition.
1t is unnecessary to go into details, but
during the course of the action at law
some of the bottles were produced in court.
when 1t was found that the glass had De-
come opaque. the bottles were handed
over to a chemist, along with one of the
lot purchased for bottling the wine which
the chemist found in the glass of
the unused bottle: Silcic acid, 524;
potash and soda. ~; lime. 321: argiIla-
ceous matter. iron, etc., Ill. In the ex-
animation Of the bottles that had been
used. while the silicic acid and argillaceous
material remained constant, or nearly so,
the lime potash and soda were very much
diminished, and 1t was made evident that
they had passed into solution forming COM
pounds with the acid ingredients of the
it unfit to drink. There is now suit pend
ing against the maker of tine bottles.

the immense resources which the coming
Pacific commerce will center here, a million
people will be needed. even II part of their
food supply has to be imported. Now as

resources of Hawaii, will at once attract
large stream Of white immigrants from

rapidly fill up the country with Caucas-

state already AmericaEized. and certain to
be rapidly occupied by people homogen-

Your St. Louis platform emphasizes your
government ownership of the Nicaragua
canal, which seems to mean that the canal
will soon be commenced. 1t is foregone
conclusion that when that canal is opened
there will at once spring up a large trans
Pacific steamer traffic through the canal
with Japan and China; that all that traffic
must call at Honolulu for coal, and Ihat
most of the ships are likely to be British
You will at once thereby more than double
the already large British influence here
and will need to have the American grip
on Hawaii strong and solid before that
great commercial cndnSe taxes place. Al
ready three-fourths of our ten trans-Pacific
steamers a month fly the British flag More
are soon coming, we hear.
We learn that arrangements are being
perfected for a strong line of large Japan
ese steamers to run to the Pacific ternlinu
of the Tehuantepec road They will carry
thence cotton from New Orleans, and to
Mexico coal and rice. These ships will nee
essarily call at Honolulu. Meantime our
beautiful city is taking on a rapid growth.
l have already written of the great devel-
opment of coffee planting on the delightful
uplands of Hawaii. Many capable Ameri-
cans and Englishmen are coming into the
country to engage in that highly profitable
undertaking. over $3O1,OO0 are at once to
be spent in road building. opening the most
desirable coffee lands. Hawaii is already
making great strides, and evidently enter
ing upon period Of wonderful agricultural
and commercial prosperity.
What we still lack is that established po-
litical stability which membership in the
American Union will confer upon US. Tn

most serious political dangers, both inter
