Among the passengers to Brisbane by
the Monowai on Saturday was Prof.
Agassiz, the director OF the Harvard
College Museum. The Professor is en-
route TO the Colonies to study the
structure of the Barrier reefs from
Brisbane to Torres straits. He is ac-
companied by his son, who will act as
photographer; DR.. Woodwork, in
structor of natural history at Cam
bridge University, and Mr.. Meyer, an
advanced student of Harvard.
Prof. Agassiz has chartered a big
steamer to meet his party at Brisbane,
and after their implements and ma
chinery are on board will proceed direct
to the field OF their labors.
In a conversation with an Advertiser
reporter at the Hawaiian Hotel Satur-
day night the professor said:

I'VE will arrive at our work on the
Great Barrier reef late in the summer,
or perhaps it will be early autumn on
that side of the equator, and it
will be pushed through the winter,
which for our Investigations is the most
suitable time of the year. We will be
absent perhaps six months, and it will
depend entirely upon the dates of the
departures of steamers whether we re-
turn home via Honolulu or go around
the other way.

tanning to a cable between the ha-
waiian Islands and Japan. Failing 90
secure this he asked for letter author
izing him to negotiate with Japan, on
terms stated by him, for the construc-
ton of a cable between the two coun-
tries. This was also refused, and he
then asked for certificate granting
him an exclusive franchise to land a
cable from Japan to some point on
Oahu. This was also refused.
The Ministers do not feel that the
power to act in the cable matters grant
ed them by the last Legislature goes
beyond the making of contracts.

BEDS AS THEY SHOULD BE.
Somr Points About Making a Well Ar
ranged Place For Slnmher.

HOw few persons there arc who really
know how to make Is bed well. Perhaps
in these days of cycling and public speak
ing women have not much time to look
after this detail Of home life. but it is,
after all. the details which go to mako up
the total Of home comfort. and what more
important for ones comfort and health
than ones very own "dodo,' as the
French children say?
Nothing is more delicious thai to creep
wcarily into sheets that are fresh and
fragrant from clean water and oxygen.
How restful to place the weary head on
I pillows that are thoroughly shaken, and
how comfortable it is to draw around one
bcdclothes that are satisfactory, not too
thick in one place and entirely untucked
in another.
Out of 100 houscmaids 80 will throw
the bcdclothcs down over the foot of the
bed, then throw them up again in a few
minutes. This should never be permitted.
Every article should he taken off and laid
separately over II chair, and a strong cur
rent of air should be allowed to circulate
through the room before the clothes are
replaced. The mattress should be turned
daily, and from end to end. as this insurcs
it being worn more evenly, and it will
not sink in the middle, which spoils the
looks of any bed, no matter how beautiful
it's cover.
The new fashion Of steel chain springs
is "a great improvement over the heavy old
style spring, which, when once taken up
stairs, was bound to remain there "a long
time. The careful housewife will cover
the springs of her beds with linen, so that
it may be taken off and washed. This
saves the mattress all chance of rust marks
from the metal. Clean newspapers will
answer the same purpose.
1t is only the hardest slccpcrs who can

worse, especially where the harbarous Gus
tom of sleeping two in IA bed holds good.
One drage the clothes one way, the other
eXhau~ts strength in c~linging to them for

a simple remedy for this discomfort is
to place one blanket lengthwisc across the

A GLIMPSE OF HAVANA.
Everything In the Houses Made to Serve
Comfort and Goodness.

Comfort and Goodness.
The houses in Havana arc mainly broad
and low, three story buildings being rare
n one story structures quito common.
You notice that everything is made to
serve comfort and GOODNESS. Instead Of
having panes of glass, the windows arc
open and guarded by light iron ratings,
II the heavy wooden doors are left ajar.
You SEQ into many houses as you pass
along, and very cool II clean they look
There arc marble floors, cane seated chairs
and lounges, thin lace curtains and
gliinpses of courts in tho enter of each
building, often with green plants of gaudy
flowers growing in them between the par
Tor and the Kitchen. You will find much
the same plan at your hotel. YOU may
walk in at the doors or tho dining room
windows just as you please, for the sides
of the house seem capable of being all
thrown open, whilc in the center of the
building you see the blue sky overhead.
Equally cool do all the inhabitants appear
to be, and the wise man who consults his
own comfort will do well to follow the
general example. Even the soldiers wear
straw hats.
The gentlemen are clad in underwear of
silk or Isle thread, and suits of linen,
drill or silk, and the ladies are equally
coolly appareled. Havana is IL drcssy
place, and you will be astonishcd at the
neatness and style to which the tissucliko
goods worn there are made to conform.
But come and see the apartment you are
to rest in every night. Ten to one the
ceiling is higher than you ever saw one in
a private house, and the huge windows
open upon IL balcony overlooking vcrdant
plaza. The floor is of marble or thing,
and the bed is AN ornat iron or brass al
fair, with IL tightly stretched sheet Of can
vas or fine wire netting in place of the
mattresses you are used to. You could not
sleep ON IL mattress with any proper degree
of comfort in the tropics. There is IA can

thing about the room is pretty certain to
be scrupulously clean. Conspicuous there
