Nature has accomplished so
much that there remains but little for
man to do. AS to its possibilities as a
health resort-here is the most perfect

valuable as having been sketche ed

munication between california and
those countries, making the Sand
wich Islands their great central
station. The multitudes of groups
of Islands, rich in native produce,
which are scattered over the Pa
cifc and Eastern oceans, afford
most extraordinary facilities for
the extension of steam navigation.
This extension can be made more
conveniently by America than
even by England, and if the nc.
QUESTION of the Sandwich Islands

Court Pests.

The pests of the small courts are the
Importance attached to etiquette and
the thin skinnedness and jealousy of the
courtiers. Great pests of all courts, but
chiefly of the greater, are the hosts of
fussy people, humbugs of all kinds and
projectors who want to secure royal pat
ronage as means Of advertisement.
They are much more likely to get it
than the deserving because their instinct
tells them how to make their approach.
Queens arc now pestered all over Eu-
rope with individuals who imagine
money is to be made in getting up un-
ions to secure artistic and literary en-
ployment for women. The poor weak
things would 60 TO the wall if they were
not brought into droves. The larger the
drove the greater the number of SUBJ
scriptions and the better for the drover.
The Empress Frederick is ready to help
feminine unions, but for handicrafts re-
CURING trained skill and talent, and not
to get poor scribbling or painting shot
into the market. The queens of Sweden
and Denmark are of the same mind. But
the queen of Sweden likes to patronize
authoresses on the side of religion and
good morals. The empress of Russia
feels her way. My maid of honor tells
me that the Prince of Wales daughters
are credited in northern courts with
shrewdness and insight into the motives
OF fussy philanthropists.
The most pleasant court for maids of
honor is that of st. Petersburg. The
Countess &. was there on visit ard
wondered whether there were limits to
the liberties of the courtiers. One sex is
as free as the other. The ladies smoke.
skate, dance, take sentimental drives in
the long daylike summer nights, fiirt
with grand dukes or with no matter
whom, throw themselves into love, din

But the gamkaips spirit is strong in
