As for the domestic woman, like wash
ing dishes well enough. l suppose we all
do. We had rather do it ourselves than
have some girl do it badly. But there is
q certain book which one is at liberty to
quote on all occasions, and which sets
forth in plain terms whose place it is to
wash the dishes. And in this book, whose
authority we never question, it is written,
"Aud they spread line over Samaria
and wiped out Jerusalem as man wipeth
dish, turning it upside down"
As for the business woman, | never saw
"a good housekeeper that was not good
business woman. 1t needs just as much
energy, perseverance and gumption to be
successful housekeeper as it does to go
to an office and 90 through its routine
work. On the other hand, the members of
this club (Sorosis) have demonstrated and
are living proof that successful business
woman may be just as womanly, as gen
tie, as sweet rs any home guarded woman
In the land. The day will come When
women will stand in position to make
men come up with them to the place where
business can and will be done according to
the golden rule.-Rev. Phebe Hanaford.

Mrs. Ednah Cheney remarks: "It has
always been my test for spending Sun.
day to see how one gets up ON Monday
morning. If on that morning worn
seems sweet and you are ready &c
do it heartily and happily, then you
have spent your Sunday to some pur.
pose. 1 don't care whether it is in
church or out, in the fields or in youi
quiet home with book in your hand,
or playing and frolicking with the chill
dren. But however you have spent Sun
day the test Of it is that the dawn Of
Monday seems blessed and good and
hopeful. "-Philadelphia Ledger.

Why not try the "most funny" things
that have ever been said2 Not the wittiest,
because the wit of man has been gener-
ally practiced, trained, forged and temper
ed for the sole purpose of being used as a
rapier for purposes of the duello. More
than half the witty things on record con-
tain the keen and polished epigram which
stabs a man in II vital part and leaves
him branded for the rest OF his life AS a
fool, ass, charlatan. OF this kind of wit
Douglas Jerrold was II master. "IIave
you seen my Descent Into Help " asked
Heraud, the now forgotten. "No, " said
Jerrold, "but l should dearly like to-"
This was extremely witty. Or-to take an
earlier case-when early in the last cell
fury, two rival physicians fought Take
your life" said the magnanimous victor.
Anything but your medicine" replied
the defeated one. These are examples OF
wit.
want funny things-thinSs that make
you laugh, not at the uneSpecteduess OF
It, or the sting in it, or the discontinue
of the other man, but ut the drollery Of it,
the humor of it, the audacity of it, the
mirthfulness of it. For instance, it was
suggested the other day in conversation
that perhaps the funniest thing ever said
was that old and well known story of the
question and reply as to the way in which
certain people managed to subsist. ''They
earn precarious existence by taking in
each others washing" And some of sgd
ney Smiths sayings are almost as funny.
The witty things are much more COM
mon than the funny things, partly be-
cause life is always, as Beaumarchais call
ed it, combat, and partly because the
generality of men are more disposed to
say things sharp and biting-things that
wound-things that make other men
afraid of them-than genial, pleasant,
laughter moving things. Certainly, if
had belonged to the same club as Douglas
Jerrold | should have sat in another room,
or / should have sat in the same room
without daring to speak. venture, there
fore, to suggest that collection of funny
things might be curious.
Alas, one easily understands that such
collection might be very dreary. We dc
not all of us laugh at the same thing, and
1t Is infinitely easier to make people laugh
than to make them cry.-Walter Besant

Hawaiian
Electric
Company.

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 mo.
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 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.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.
