An Elephants Pride.

Elephants are passionately fond of flnery
and delight to be arrayed in gorgeous trap
pings. An amusing instance of elephan-
tine pride is narrated by Sir Samuel Baker
The elephant which usually led the state
procession of rajah being sick, the mag
nificent trappings were placed on one which
had, up to that time, occupied only a sub
ordinate place. The animal, delighted
with its fnery, showed its glee by so many
little squeaks and kicks Of pleasure that it
attracted general attention. Not long
after another state procession was formed,
and, the previous wearer of the gold
clothes being restored to health, took his
accustomed place and trappings, when the
now degraded elephant, imagining, per-
haps, that he was being defrauded of his
promotion, was, with great difficulty, re-
strained from attacking the leader Of the
parade.

DON'T LET THE WRINKLES COME.
Worry, Indigestion and Wearing Tight
Shoes Are Prolific Causes of Wrinkles.

Worry, Indigestion and Wearing Tight
Shoes Are Prolific Causes of Wrinkles.
1t is better to avoid as far as is practical
BILE everything that has tendency to pro-
duce wrinkles, for when these once appear
it is difficult to efface them. In these days
it is important that woman should main
tain a young appearance as long as she
can, not from point Of vanity only but
as means of obtaining employment. The
competition for work is so keen that those
who may be only prematurely old have
very little chance when pitted against
younger looking competitors.
Nothing more quickly gives an old ap-
pearance to young face than the pain en-
dured from wearing tight shoes. When
this pain is endured day after day, an ex
preston Of discomfort which cannot by any
effort be prevented from showing itself on
tho countenanco will become indelibly
planted there in lines which it will be found
very difficult to eradicate, and so wrinkles
will very quickly DO traced at d much
earlier age than they would otherwise
show themselves.
Women wrinkle sooner than men, as
rule, because they are usually of more
anxious temperaments and trouble them
selves moro about small things. 1t is this
constant anxiety and worry which proves
so disastrous to women After any great
strain, either mental or physical, the mus
Giles of the face will be greatly relieved by
bathing the face for some time in warm
water, and afterward giving it thorough
massage with the hands. This greatly
relieves and rests the tired muscles and
relaxes the strained appearance which re-
ally hastens the coming of these wrin-
kles. When it is felt that the forehead is
being wrinkled up, it must Immediately
be smoothed with the fingers, drawing
them along in the direction in which the
lines run. 1t is well also to bathe the skin
with cold water after using the warm, al
ways taking care that the water is SOFT
Indigestion, which is often induced by
worry, is also another cause Of wrinkles.

The oldes. Birthday on Record.

AS erybody-except a few unfortunate
29th of February folks-has birthday at
least once year it follows that the first
birthday of the very first man would be
the oldest. But neither of it nor of any
other for long ages afterward does any ao-
count remain. The first birthday which
somebody who has been looking this SUBJ
Ject up finds mentioned is that re-
corded in Genesis xl, 20, when the
pharaoh whom Joseph served kept his
birthday. 1t is interesting to learn that
even at that distant period the occasion
was celebrated in festive fashion, for we
read that he made a feast unto all his
servants" Pharaoh went a little farther,
pardoning his chief butler, whom he had
cast into prison, and hanging the chief of
his bakers

n skirt OF gauZe or embroidered tulle.
Flowers are equally seen on the bodices OF
ball gowns, as berthas, epaulets, bretelles
and even belts, or delicately outlining the
edge of the pointed bodice.
Comfort as well as beauty Is an item of
consideration in the present styles and Is
exemplifed in most of the walking and
other out Of door gowns now seen, from
the most expensive to the simplest.
Fashionable wooden fabrics are warm in
fact as well as in appearance, and the
many boucle effects harmonic well with
the chilly season.
Street gowns of stitched cloth are much
worn, as usual. There are various kinds
of boucle goods some with but few
roughnesses on the surface others almost
rs knotty as astrakhan. A fayorite kind
has black tufts or hairs on colored
ground and is very pleasing, especially
when the boucle effect is confined to
stripes which form plaids.
One Of the newest ways Of finishing the
bodice of bail and other low cut gowns is
to frame the decolletage in a fiat, square
bertha, like collar, of lace or pale satin
embroidered with beads and spangles.
A sketch is given of visiting gown Of
dark tan ribbed velvet. The godet skirt
has many seams, which are covered by
bands of plain silk velvet of the same
shade. The bodice Of ribbed velvet has a
plastron back and front of rose broche
silk, framed by bretelles of plain velvet,
which form epaulets at the shoulders and
fall in coquilles. The balloon sleeves OF
ribbed velvet have a deep cuff of plain vel
vet. A band of sable edges the high collar
and extends down the middle of the front.
The toque, of tan velvet, is trimmed with
choux of rose velvet. JUDIC CHoLLET.

Its Debt
Provided Purchasers Can Be Found for the
Bonds-Kats Fields Bpdy Still Tn.
bIried-IslIn1 Notes

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9. - The
steamship Peru arrived today bringing
the following advices to the Associated
Press:
HONOLULU, Aug. 2.-P. c. Jones, ex-
minister of finance, leaves for San Fran
cisco today to float the refunding loan.
He expects to sell nearly three and one
half millions worth of Hawaiian gov
ernment bonds, bearing four per cent
interest. His contract with this govern
ment allows a discount of five per cent
and he will receive commission of two
per cent Mr.. Jones is given until the
first day of next November to float the
bonds. He expects to dispose of them
either in New York or Boston.
Letters have been received giving the
testimony of an eminent man in Vienna
on the bacilli of the disease that carried
off the natives last year. He gives as
final verdict the opinion that the Wis
itation was genuine Asiatic cholera, as
most OF the local physicians pronounced
it.
Consul Mills received nothing by the
last mail from the friends of the late
Kate Field concerning the final disuosi-
ton of her body and effects. A letter
from George Riddle says that Mr. Kohl
saat of the Chicago Times-Herald will
pay all debts of the estate and would
provide a monument for the grave.
The military trial Of Captain John
Good has been concluded, but the court
has not reached a verdict. 1t is gen.
orally understood that he will be dis
missed from the government service, as
the testimony proved that he is guilty of
conduct unbecoming an officer. During
the trial man named H. G. Rhodes, an
employe of the government, testified that
he scaled the fence surrounding the gov
ernment and removed sight from a
feldpiece and then sent it through the
! mail to President Dole. He claims tc
have performed this feat at night, while
a sentry was on guard. His story, though
generally discredited, may result in q
! reorganization Of the military forces.
Among the passengers on the Peru was
| Mrs. Sanford B. Dole, wife of the presi-
dent of the Hawaiian republic.
