She Wanted Pink Cheeks.

There is girl on the North Side who
admires pink cheeks, but she will be
careful after this where she gets them.
On recent afternoon one Of the carettes

pavement Of Rush street. At Huron
street the wagon was stopped, and a
young woman stepped in and took q
seat near the center of the car. She
knew several of the women, and return.

fashionably gowned, and was on her
way to a public rehearsal. After sitting
quietly for few minutes, she, in al
apparently unconscious manner, put her
hand to her cheek and gave it slight
pinch. On her hands were black gloves.
The day was damp and the slightest
trace possible of the color was left on
her cheek. Then she pinched the other
one. A black spot showed. This she
continued until Adams street was reach

she reached the Auditorium, her check,

Her Story Is Very Ancient and Appears
In Sacred Hindoo Books.
The story of Cinderella is substantii
ly the same as that told of Rhodol
and Psammtichus by Elan, who liv
in Rome in the third century of lie
Christian era. The story, as told by
Elan, is that while Rhodopis was bath
ing an eagle carried away one of her
sandals and dropped it near the feet of
Psammitichus, king of Egypt, who, like
Cinderella's prince, was struck by its
diininutive size, caused the maiden to
be sought for, and married her when
found. Make the sandal glass slipper
and add the ugly sisters for the sake Of
contrast, and the stories are much the
same. The glass slipper, by the way, is
an acknowledged fiction, being in real
ity mistranslation Of "pantoufie Ell
vair" "a fur slippery, and not zen
verre."
This, at all events, is what is claimed
by Perrault in his "Contes de Fees ="
Both these stories have doubtless a oom-
mon origin, but it is necessary to go

even Elan is quite modern. 1t is i'll the

docs, that the origin is to be found.

There are a great many use

shelves and in the dark corners
of stores around Honolulu that

cause the dealers grow care
less. 1t is our policy to handle
good things and to keep them
before the public, giving the
people an opportunity of our
experience abroad, where new,
and often good things are
being constantly introduced.
A goodly portion of our second
floor is set apart for novelties
in household utensils and it is
really astonishing the number
of new things we have. They
are not all new, other dealers

EXECUTIVE CRITICISM.

If the Executive is under no cir
cumstances to be questioned, the
Legislature had best be prorogued
without delay and for an indefinite
time, the Council of State abolished
and every detail Of Government en-
trusted exclusively to the Cabinet.
This might be safe enough, but it
would not have any of the flavor of
Republicanism and THE STAR
doubts very much if even the Min
listers themselves would agree to
the plan. Yet that will be the method
if Senators or Representatives are
to be denied the right of lodging in
quiry or making comment, for which
one member of the upper House in
particular is taken severely to task
by the Organ ofthe Elect. No DISPOSE
ton to "kick and cuff" the Execu-
tive has been observed. None can
be discerned or conjured up except
by those inclined to elevate the
Ministry members above the plane
of representatives OF the people.
While the holders of the Cabinet
portfolios are gentlemen of excep-
tional ability and integrity and are
trusted and held in high esteem,
they are of common clay and under
the new Hawaiian system are
not beyond criticism. There is
an element in this community
that only on occasion takes cogniz-
ance of new system. This ele-
ment cannot tolerate difference OF
opinion, meeting it with ungentle-
manly and unfair inuendo, abuse,
or a regular wild rush of an at
tempt to rout and suppress. There
is no more inherent infallability
about the Executive than there
is about the Adpsrtiser hui. II
is not THE STARS belief thai
the Executive assumes there is.
But some who take the position o.
speaking for them do advance this
claim, and compare fair question
placed with Minister to the estab
lishment of BLACK List" Thi
is begging and twisting Of discus
sion. The Constitution simpl.
gives the Cabinet members voic,

WIND AND SEA.

The sea is a jovial comrade;
He laughs wherever he goes;
His merriment shines in the dimpling lines
That wrinkle his hale repose.
He lays himself down mt the foot of the sun.
And shakes ull over with glec,
And the broad backed pillows fall faint ON the
shore
In the mirth of the mighty seal
But the wind Is sad and restless
And cursed with an inward pain:
You may bark at will, by valley or hill,
But you hear him still complain.
He walls on the barren mountains
And shriets on the wintry sea;
He sobs In the cedar and means in the pine
And shudders all over the aspen tree.
Welcome are both their voices
And know not which is best
The laughter that slips from oceans lips
Or the comfortless winds unrest.
There's pang In all rejoicing,
A Joy in the heart of pain.
And the wind that saddens, the sea that glad
dens,
Are singing the selfsame strain.

ALlttIe Fraction.

How wide would be q strip of land
containing one-vigintillionth of an or
binary city lot? The question recent
ly came up in an Illinois court. The
Connecticut Mutual Insurance Co. held
a mortgage on a city lot in Chicago.
The owner allowed it to be sold for
taxes. At the tax sale a bidder OBJ
tanned on the east one-vigintillionth
part of the land, and a tax certificate
was issued for the same. The
insurance company brought suit
to foreclose on the ground that the
owner had suffered q cloud to come
on the title by the tax sale of the
small fraction. The county court held
thatsince the fractional part was SO
small that it could not be marked of
by surveyor nor even seen by q
microscope, a tax deed to so small q
part indicated practically and virtually
the sale of nothing. But the higher
court reversed the decision, and holds
that, although one-vigintillionth oil
the property could not be appreciated
by the senses, it is recognizable by
the mind, and that the tax deed rend.

'The first successful substitute for
glass, says an architect in the Wash
ington Times, sis tectorium, a CELIA
tinous composition. 1t has not APP
peared in this country at all as yet,
but it is being introduced in Europe.
This gelatinous substance is given rig
idity by being spread on a galvanized
iron web, which holds the sheet in any
desired shape, but does not obstruct
the passage Of light 1t is translucent,
but not transparent, and can be
stained in such manner as to
exactly initiate stained glass. It
cannot be broken nor softened
by the rays of the sun, but is flexible
ana easily bent into any desired shape.
When unstained it at first is yellow,
but on exposure to the sun it turns
white, at the same time becoming
harder and more durable. Like glass,
it is poor conductor of heat. 1t is
lighter than glass, and on this account
is well adapted for roofs. Unless il
can be made transparent, it can never
hope to entirely supersede glass, but
its cheapness and superiority to glass
in other directions are securing for il
extensive sales for factory windows,
skylights for lighthouses, roofing, and
like pusposes."

tendency 10 increase. From January
to May are the worst months for sui.
cides The number mounts rapidly

May, and keeps high until July, fall
ing to it's lowest in November The
suicides OF December and January are
attributed partly to pecuniary troubles
at the close Of the year, when all
accounts are supposed to be closed
aud all liabilities met. A rise in July
is attributed to'hnancial troubles at the
half-year. In recent years the use of tho
sword by suicides has decreased
greatly; hanging is the method most
frequently employed, nearly three
fourths of the male suicides and near
ly half the females terminating their
lives in this way; but among women
drowning is more common even than
hanging. Firearms and poison are
very rarely used, probably because
they are not readily obtainable, while
Japanese of either sex always has
long girdle and always has water suf-
ficient in the deep wells in every viii
luge and adjacent to almost every
house. The figures show that the
number of suicides varies year by
year with the price of rice.

THO Proprlety Of Exclusive Clubs

The Propriety Of Exclusive Clubs.
At some OF tho great schools In thi,
country ths.e have come to be clubs
Of very much tho same sort as flourish
in most OF the colleges, announces
.Harpor's Weekly. AT Phillips Acad-
amy, Andoyor, there are at least three
Of these societies which have club
houses, and annual dues Of something
like one hundred dollars. No doubt
the members OF them herd together
as the members Of college clubs do,
and SEQ very much OF one another aud
very little Of any one else. The OBJ
iections to Clubs in colleges, which
are strong enough, would seem to APP
ply with even more force to clubs at
preparatory schools. The iealousies
and heart burnings which spring from
these exclusive organizations come
soon enough when they come to lads
in college. It seems a pity that school
boys should be subject TO them. One
particular objection to such clubs as
those at Andover is that membership
in them or exclusion from them is un-
derstood to have q decided effect on
the social fato Of the Andover boys
when they get to Yale, so that lads
who are not joined to the club Of their
choice at Andoyer are pretty confident
that similar disappointments await
them when they get to Now Haven.
There must be a good side to these
Andover clubs or they would not be
tolerated. Perhaps a club which
happens to have particularly good
set of lads in it is a good thing for
those lads. But it might be that,
and still be rather bad thing for the
lads who are not in it, and so for the
school in general.
