THE UNFORTUNATE MILLIoNAIRE.
From This Point of View He is to
Be Piticd.
From the Contemporary Review.

From the Contemporary Review.
In reviewing the advertisements of the
manufactures of the country I find that
everything is produced for the million and
nothing for the millionaire. Children, boys,
youths, gents" ladies, artisans, profess
Sional men, even peers and kings, are ca
tered for, but the millonare's custom is
evidently not worth having-there are too
few of him. While the poorest have their
rag fair, a duly organized and busy mar
ket in Houndsditeh, where you can buy a
boot for penny, you may search the
world in vain for the market where the
boot for $50 the special cheap line of hats
at 40 gUineas, the cloth-of-gold bicycling
suit, and the Cleopatra claret, four pearls
to the bottle, can be purchased wholesale
Thus the unfortunate millionaire has the
responsibility Of prodigious wealth with
out the possibility of enjoying himself
more than any ordinary rich man. In
deed, in many things he cannot enjoy HIM
self more than many poor men do, nor
even so much; for drum major is bet
ter dressed, a trainers stable lad often
rides a better horse, a first-class car
riage is shared by Office boys taking their
young ladies out for the evening every
Sunday rides in the Pullman car, and OF
what use is ii to be able to pay for a
peacock s-brain sandwich when there Is
nothing to be had but ham or beef?
The injustice of this state of things has
not been sufficiently considered. A man
with an income of f25 a year can multiplv
bling his income. A man with ESQ a year
can at least quadruple his comfort by
doubling his income. Probably up to even
ESQ a year double income means double
comfort. After that the increment of COM
fort grows less in proportion to the incre-
ment of income until a point is reached
at which the victim is satiated and even
surfeited with everything that money can

der the impression that you are benefting
him, on the general ground that men like
money, is exactly as if you were to add
two hours to the working day of a confec-
toner's shopboy on the general ground
that boys are fond of sweets. What can
the wretched millionaire do that needs a
million?
Does he want feet of yachts, a Rotten
Row full of carriages, an army of SER
wants, a whole city of town houses, or a
contingent for a game preserve? Can he

FROM lNG N0NtbIletl ANCNAGW
The condition was about like this: The
old African chief had three wives. and the
missionaries explained to him that three
were too many. Then he found the matter
was not even to be compromised by turn
ing off two and going to the chapel to be
married with accompanying hymns and
orange blossoms, with number three, for
the ladies held together, not one of them
would marry him and let the other two go.
So the poor old chief worried himself to
shamrock, and anybody else who would
listen to him. His white trader friends
told him not to be such an internal ass.
Some of his black fellow chiefs said the
missionaries were quite right. and the
best thing for him to do would be to hand
over to them the three old wives, and go
and marry a young girl from the mission
school. Personally, they We're not yet al

STRANGE PHOTOGRAPHY.
A Story Which Comes All the Way
From COOmbe Bay.
From Pearson's Weekly.

From PedrSOnS w eekly.
From the village of Coombe Bay. which
lies about four miles from Bath. comes a
story of a curious freak of lightning
Near the village there is or was when the
incident occurred, large wood composed
of oak and nut trees. In the center of
this wood there was a small pasture
quite hemmed in by the surrounding
Here six sheep were kept by their own
er. The flock being small, the pasturage
only fifty yards in extent contained her
bage sufficient for them.
One day while the sheep were in the
field a severe thunderstorm came on, and
one fash of lightning killed simultaneous
ly every sheep in the pasture. 1t is to be
presumed they were mourned for by their
owner, but no doubt considering that they
might be of some profit to him, although
the neighboring village of Coombe Bay.
The butcher began his business by skin
ming the lightning-STruck animals.
To the establishment of the butcher and
his assistant, on the interior of each
sheepskin they found printed an elaborate
and faithful picture of the landscape sur
rounding the sheep pasture. These nat
ural pictures were in no respect Sugges-
tive of the impresSiOnists daubs, but the
trees, the fences, the racks, and bushes
were all as precisely represented as If
photographed upon the SKINS of the ami
mails. Every detail was exactly drawn.
The sheep had been killed while hud-
died together in a corner, and the land
scape in each case was the same, the pic
ture being of that part of the surround
ing scenery winch lay IN the pain OF the
lightning fash which killed the frighten-
ed animals.
Stories of lightning prints are old, some
of them curious, and may no doubt have
an element of truth in them. But some
of their marvels are certainly due to the
vivid imagination of those who tell them.
There is the story of the Italian lady
who. while sitting in the window of her
villa at Lugano. received a severe shock
from a stroke of lightning, and although
she recovered completely, the impression
of a flower which must have been in the
path Of the lightning flash which reached
her, was printed indelibly on her body"

Hawaiian Idols Found.

While dredging in the vicinity of
the old fish market, between ) and 8
o'clock last evening, the steam dredg-
er turned up with the mud two Hawaii
an idols made of Kauwila wood.
The idols were evidently cut to rep
resent the same god, but there are GER
tain points of difference. One is brOk-
en- near the lower part by the action of
the dredger, and both are in a marvel
ously good state of preservation.
The unbroken idol is about foot in
length and three inches across in its
widest part. The two were purchased
by Charles Hawkins and are now IN
the show window of the Hebron Drug
Company.

Now we will suppose that Col.
Spalding, aside from asking an eX-
tension of time in his contract,
also requests further concessions
from the Hawaiian Government.
What are the Hawaiian people go
inc to do about it! We can see
only one answer to be made to
this possible event, and 1t ought
not to require much wealth of ar
rument to settle the matter. Should
Col. Spalding's company, through
any authorized agent, request any
further concession in subsidy or
franchise, the reply should be a
prompt and mquestionable No!
Furthermore, it is matter to be
seriously questioned whether the
liberal terms of the present fran
chise should be continued. We re-
fer more particularly to the eX-
elusive privilege which Col. Spald
ing's company now holds.
Notwithstanding the great ne
cessity for cable communication,
there is no reason why Hawaii
should tie itself up for long term
of years with any private company.
Exclusive franchises are entirely
contrary to the progressive spirit
of the age, and the people of Ho-
nolulu have learned lesson in
granting everlasting franchises
that ought to last them. for all
time to come. The Hawaiian tram
wav system was once thing of
beauty, but it is by no means a JOY
forever. The public of today
wants better service, but there the
franchise stares them in the face,
