discharged at us as if his mouth had
been a tiny popgun, and he reared at us
gently as any sucking dove, with the
cooling sound in such words as "do."
But for all his nicely of speech he
had too much of what is commonly
called side in his manner TO delude
any one into the idea that he was q
gentleman.
There is in the bearing of your true
arlstocrat toward strangers a certain
suave and urbane hauteur-as of one
who expects and, if need be, will exact
the courtesy he is accustomed to accord
which the man Of no breeding thinks
can be initiated by the assumption of
"side."
Without his "side' he might con-
celvably have passed for q gentleman.
AS it is, he as surely betrays himself for
what he is as the man who, by mani
resting that overanxiety to please
which he mistakes for the easy courtesy
OF we'll bred ntercourse-betrays his
underbreeding.

could not help noticing that his hands

Cold standard Not Yet Adopted by
Japanese Empire.
WASHINGTON, Mar. 3.-In view of
a Cablsgram received by the japanese
legation today, it appears that the an
nouncement recently made that Japan
had adopted the gold standard was
premature. Only a bill was intro
duced by the government into the diet
for the adoption of the gold standard
with the following provision.
''rhe present gold yen, the standard
coin of the country, will according to
this measure, be circulated at double
the present value, while the one-yen
silver piece will circulate at half its
value, until abolished by the edict of
the emperor. The subsidiary coinage
of the country will remain untouched,
and free coinage will be abolished from
the date of the PRONUNCIATION of this
edict, which is set for October. 1897"
The status of this bill up to date is
merely that of any bill introduced into
one house of congress. It has not yet
been passed, and it is not certain that
it will be.

Japan's Lower House Passes Bill After

YOKOHAMA, March 1.-THE Lower
House sat at the usual hour to resume
the discussion on the gold standard
bill.
Mr. Taguchi editor of the Tokyo
Economist spoke zealously in opposi-
ton TO the bill, which, he said, was
contrary to the result of the investiga-
tons made by the Monetary Council
and opposed to the general bimetallic
tendency of the world. His speech last
ed for about an hour, but was listened
TO in profound silence by the mem
bers. Mr.. Soyeda spoke on behalf of the
Government supporting the bill. A
motion for closure was made and ac-
cepted by 126 to 116. The second read
ing was then proceeded with. Various
amendments, which had been pro-
posed, having been rejected, the third
reading was opened, upon which Mr.
Kurihara spoke for more than an hour
against the bill and read his own plan
The bill was at last passed by large
majority, and so were many other ac-
cessory bills. The House rose at

Ii You
Were
About
To Go By

To go buy Bicycle, don't do so I'M
til you first know it were wise to give
OURS the "go by" Why We sell so
many Bicycles is no mystery, for the
names Rambler" Columbia" and
"Stearns" are known to every one who
knows what the word Bicycle means,
and about everybody in the Islands
knows that we are the agents for these
three leading makes.
We will not say much about the
"Stearns" this time, as the lot of '97
wheels which left New York on Febru-
airy 10th, did not catch the Australia"
and you do not want to hear about a
wheel you cannot see, so we will tell
you about them when they get here
But if you want pretty mount, some
thing up to date, come in and see our
81 Columbus" and "Ramblers;" but
come quick, as we have sold over half
of the lot just received, and we are sure
to be out of both makes before we can
get good look at them ourselves.
We will have just forty-four (44) BIZ
cycles on the Australia" when she gets
here on March Both, and from that on
we don't think anybody will go by to
buy a wheel because we have not got
the stock to show them.
Our "Columbias" this year, as we'll
as our ''Ramblers," are fitted with the
well-known G. & j. tires. This tire has
proved to be the best one ever used in
these Islands, and if you get the gen
uine G. & J. tire you get what you need
for this climate and our roads. The
genuine G.. G J. tire is sold by the
Rambler Agency here, and is fitted
to wheels we order. You can get tires
that are said to be G. & j. and look
just the same, but you won't want more
than one pair; looks don't wear, you
know.
Points of interest to you will be the
way the spokes are fastened on the
"Columbias," the new special seat and
the handles and grips on the Ladies'
"Ramblers;" in fact, you will find lots
to interest you, and you are welcome to
examine any wheel to your hearts con-
tent, even if you have no idea of buy
ing. We have just added largely to
our stock of sundries-such as Lamps
Bells, Luggage Carriers, Bike Stands,
Enamels, etc.-and we can fit you out
with about anything you need.

The Call of March 6, says: Rev. J..

missionaries to the South Seas, Great
ed a sensation in the Gilbert group re-
Gently and soon afterwards died On
account of his very successful work
among the natives he became well
known to missionary people through
out the world and among the congre-
gationalists in America especially.
Missionary Kanoa was so years of
age and was greatly venerated. A few
years ago he married second time
and secured an attractive young wife.
Gossips soon commenced to talk all
over Butaritari, where Kanoa was sta
toned, and Mrs. Kanoa's conduct be-
came such that the Congregationalist
missionaries informed Kanoa that his
wife's actions were so notorious that
he must get divorce from her. Kanoa
replied that he did not understand that
the Christian religion compelled him to
disbelieye the statement that what God
hath Joined together no man must cast
