The reputation of the Occidental for ex-

The Reason Why Cade-

It's Middle Distance Ended With
a Preside Fence to Save
Trouble.
Latimar and His Class Threatened
With Arrest for Sketching on
the Reservation.

OF late the Preside fence has been re-
len1less barrier against artists, and never
more may picture of some of the beauti-
full spots within the Government reserva-
tion be painted. Nor even the Golden
Gate or the bay from any point of view
north of the long palilg that divides the
civil from the military world. Occasion

yond the boundary, and then there is
trouble. Not long since the charmed do
main was invaded by an artist equipped
with sketching outfit. He did not ap-
pear warlike, which goes without saying.
as the unfortunate one was none other
than G. Cadenasso. Now, Mr.. Cadenasso
is not man with disposition to give
people the impression of a European
gentleman with a mission inside the afore-
said fence. Nor did he have the faintest
other equally ugly things his presence
with an easel was creating. An ideal man
of peace, with thoughts only for the
beautiful, his soul was wrapt in dream
of inspiring landscape, surely the painter
could not be taken for an emissary of a
foreign power gathering data about forts
and topography. Aud yet his reverie was
a great weeping willow beside the lake at
the Marine Hospital.

The gruff voice startled the artist, who
on looking UP from his sketch beheld an
apparition in brass buttons and blue uni
form. IL was the superintendent of the
hospital.

exasperating the Government official.
"Do you know the penalty for sketching
here?'
Il do not, don't know that there is
any penalty"
aWell. there is. Three years imprlson-
ment.'
"Oh, we'll then, I'll leave"
This was half an apology and the artist
proceeded to pack up his paints and
brushes.

official added. interrupting the explana-

But the picturesque bit OF scenery, with
its variety of vivid green weeping willows,
bluegum trees and knobs OF gay flowers,
proved too strong a temptation, and the
artist visited it again, after paying his re-
spects to the Marine Hospital superin-

CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO.

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale OF
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of jhe
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as u medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company'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 manuiact'
uring, figs are used, rs they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthiuI
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination Of
plants known to be incidentally lax
ative, and TO act most bencfcially.
Ii in the enjoyment OF good health
and the system is regular, thcr
laxative or other remedies are moi
needed If afflicted with any actua
disease one may be commended Il

might have justly given it the vogue of
novelty among persons whose one demand
is for continuous change.
Yokes and plastrons of spangled en-
broidery on net, ready to be applied to tho
bodice, arc seen among the fashionable
trimmings, and even revers of the same
style have appeared, but bands seem to be
preferred by the majority of costumers,
whether the gown be oxtravagant or mod
crate in cost, md there is certainly far
wider variety of styles and combinations
In spangled bands than in the shaped
pieces. These latter are better represented
in jet and black spangles than in colors,
while the bands are embroidered with ruby,
peacock, green, gold, electric and amethys
spangles, intersperscd with fat jewels az
patterns in gold thread. Black Is Il
proper background for these glittering an
iridescent trimmings, and they never ap

Says Max Muller in Science of Language;
The influence Of women on the language OF
each generation is much greater than that
of men.
We very properly call our language in
Germany our mother tongue, for it is from
our mothers that we learn it, with all its
peculiarities. faults, idioms and accents.
Cicero said:
at makes a great difference whom we
hear at home every day and with whom we
speak as boys and how our fathers, our tn.
tors and our mothers speak. We read the
letters of Cornelia, the mother of the Grac-
chi, and it is clear from them that her sons
were brought up not in the lap, but, so to
say, in the very breath and speech Of their
mother"
But this is not all. Dante ascribed the
first attempts mt using the vulgar tongue ia
Italy for literary compositions to the silent
influence of ladies who did not understand
the Latin language.
Now this vulgar Italian, before it became
the literary language of Italy, held very
much the same position there AS the so
called Prakrit dialects in India, and these
Prakrit dialects first assumed literary
position in the Sanskrit plays where female
characters, both high and low, are intro
duced as Prakrit instead of the Sanslsrit
employed by kings, noblemen and priests.
Here, then, we see the language of WON,
en-, or, u not OF women exclusively, at all
events of women and domestic servants,
gradually entering into the literary idiom,
and in latter times even supplanting it al
together, for it is from the Prakrit, and not
from the literary Sanskrit, that the modern
vernaculars of India branched off in course
of time
Through a thousand smaller channels the
idions ofwomen everywhere find admission
into the domestic conversation of the whole
family and into the public speeches of their
assemblies. The greater the ascendency Of
the female element in society, the greater
the influence of their Language ON the Ian
guage of family or clan, village or q
town.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan-
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me-
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.

this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers
