CHlLDREN'S PHOTOGRAPHS.

Do not scold tine child if it is restless. A
tear stained face often takes a long time to
smile.
Never take n child to the photographer
at time which interferes with its meals
or sleep.
Dark dresses are best used on bright
days. Dark velvets should be especially
avoided at such times.
Do not dress up the child. Its everyday
clothes are more comforta bic and are more
likely to induce pleasant expression
AS the photographer aim is always to
secure the best result, leave the final pos
ing to him. He will usually be guided,
however, by your wishes.
Do not bring all your friends and rela-
tiyes to watch the photographing opera
tions. The fewer people to attract atten-
tion in the studio the more likelihood Is
there of the result being perfect.

its name from the fact that it constructs a

threads of silk, and thus pursues its prey

GOOD REPRESENTATIVES,.

1t is quite time that the various
constituencies of the islands began
looking up men to represent them
in the coming Legislature. The
House Of Representatives should
be composed of active, progressive
men, with ideas in their heads of a
practical character instead of mere
crochets.
There are men thoroughly capa-
BILE of the duties of Legislators, who
can afford to give up their time to
the purpose, but who shrink both
from the publicity and response
bility of the position. But this is
no proper way to look at ones
duty towards the State. Every
man owes duty to the State which
protects his property and gives him
the opportunity of earning his liv-
ing, and the more prosperous he is
the more he owes to his State.
1t is all very we'll for people TO
say, when a House has been elect
ed: ooh those are a pretty set of
fellows to legislate for US" But it
is peoples own fault. Argument
and pressure brought to bear upon
eligible men will bring them for
ward, will break down their re-
serve. will make them feel the ne
cessity of putting their own should
ers to the wheel and will make
them realize their responsibilities
to their fellow men. 1t is no use
locking the stable door after the
horse is gone, nor does crying over
split milk bring back the fluid. If
any gentleman who criticised SO
severely the personnel of the last
House of Representatives will go
to work now, and do his level best
to be we'll represented, he will be
able to get the kind of representa-
ton he desires. 1t is no use rush
ing round at the last minute look
ing for a candidate who can be got
to run. Men should begin to think
ahead and talk over possible candi-
dates before the first primaries are
held. If you want good House
of Representatives you must think
and work in order to get it.

TELEPHONES.

The Telephone Company has
awakened to the fact that its instru-
ments are out of date and that il
needs a general shake-up. The in
terview published in the Star few
days ago. shows that it is fully alive
to the condition of affairs but that
dividends may stand in the way of
the much needed improvements.
The telephone just misses being
a satisfactory instrument. Once it
was discovered, it became a neces-
Sity, and in Honolulu one would as
soon think of going without one, s
dinner as going without ones tele-
phone But it has not kept pace
with its promise. 1t is forever get
ting out of order. The wires get
crossed, the connections are not
good, the diaphragm is not respon-
sive to certain letters of the alpha
bet, and SO on. The result is, that
messages are misunderstood or
prove failures altogether. The fact
is, the telephone has been virtually
at standstill. 1t has not improv-
ed.
There is talk now of methods
which will do away with the wires
altogether, and our present clumsy
system of communication will be
regarded much in the light of the
old semaphore telegraph, of the
century, style of communication
which is graphically described in
the Count of Monte Christie" Half
the people who read the book do
not know what Dumas was describ-
ing. 1t will be matter of much
congratulation when the telephone
becomes as obsolete and is replaced
by something better.
There is this difference between
the Telephone company and the
Tram car company of this city.
The Telephone company knows
that its instruments are out of date
and proposes to do what it can in
the near future to remedy the evil,
and mean time has done what it
can in rewriting and SO forth to give
a satisfactory service. The Tram
Car company, on the other hand,
knows that its cars are out of date
and obsolete, that its brakes are
bad and the horses an mules worn
out, but it shows no desire to look
after the interests of the public.
The consequence is that we hear
of an opposition car company and
We hear nothing of a rival lele-
phone company. Serve the public
well or half decently and you get
your reward. But serve them bad
ly and the worm takes a turn.

The Pennsylvania railroad maintains
an editorial department composed of
about dozen men, under the direction
of managing editor In addition to
looking after the advertising. their chief
duty is to read the newspapers for the
officers of the company. About 800 pa
pers are received daily from all over the
world. Each man clips every item of
news and editorial that he thinks will
interest the head men of the road. When
the days reading is done, the clippings
are assorted and pasted according to
topics upon sheets of heavy MANILA pa
per, bearing the date and the title of the
classification. The sheets are then sep
arated and laid upon the table of the
president, who is thus able to get the
news of the world and expressions of
public opinion upon important topics
at glance. When the president has
read them, he passes them down to the
vice president and other officials, and
when they have all had their chance the
sheets are returned and filed. - San

JAPANESE TREATIES.

Japan has her own troubles in
the matter Of tariff. She was pro-
testing against the American tariff
the other day, but she has now, a
protest from American, English and
French houses upon her hands.
Recently, a law was passed in the
japanese Parliament granting an
export bounty on silk exported by
japanese firms direct. The object
was to encourage the export of silk
by Japanese firms and cut the trade
of the foreign firms, With an ex-
port bounty of from twenty to forty
sen for every 1887 pounds of silk,
to japanese firms, it is very evident
that the foreign silk exporters
might just as well shut up shop and
retire from business.
The next steamer from Japan will
let us know how the campaign in
this matter is going on. The claim
made by the foreign firms is based
upon the treaties between Japan
anu luS NdilOuo COullIlG vi Luz
rope when have negotiated them.
These contain the clause that sub
jects of the high contracting parties
shall receive the benefits of any
bounties or benefits granted by
either to its own subjects. Under
such a clause, the silk exporters
claim that a discrimination has been
shewn in favor of Japanese firms
against foreign firms and that the
treaty stipulatians have been violat-
ed.
So Japan has her own troubles
about treaty matters at home as we'll
as in the Hawaiian Islands. II
Japan misinterprets her treaties
with the European powers, it is
quite on the cards that she has mis-.
interpreted those with others. The
