choice droves were the only ones that
showed strength, others selling slowly at
weak to 10c lower prices. Native beef

have the faculty, and if the privilege is
yours, to give it definite impetus You
may at some future time find your
name enrolled as soul artist. An
enviable rank surely.
The efforts of the Kilohana Art
League to enlist the interest of chill
dren and schools have certainly been
praise worthy. would that the COM
munity thoroughly appreciated them.
The hangings in the league rooms are
not numerous, but there is nevertheless
food for thought and inspiration to eff
fort to be found there. 1t is natural for
children to try to initiate. If few
visits to the league rooms this season
should result in some back yards in
Honolulu being converted into work
shops, with only blocks of wood for
material, and jack knife as an imple-
ment, Miss Wores' deft fingers will
not have wrought in vain. And l be-
lieve Mrs. Graham would only be too
delighted to see even the crudest effort
toward imitation of her handiwork, If
nothing more than a board fence and
some road clay were utilized. doubt
whether child of naturally fine sensi-
bilities could look long at Mrs. Kelleys
work and not receive some impress
from it, elevating in it's tendencies.
Character, grace of mind and delicacy
of PERCEPTION stamp her work and must
be reflected from it. Mr. Hitchcock is
becoming more versatile, and as this
increases, so will be enlarged the scope
of his influence. AS to his canvases
now on exhibition, believe young as
well as adult minds would confer the
palm upon his "Eventide-Fishermen."
Skill in manipulation of color and
brush is certainly evident in his
I"Symphony in Green and Grey" but in
his "Eventide" there is the same GER
tain, yet more tender harmony in
green and grey, and with it, harmony
in thought and sound. The poetic
fancy is not held alone to the abstract
or merely to that which is evanescing,
but truth and nature is idealized. We
catch the sound of the gentle tapping
of the wave upon the beach; we de-
light in the anticipation of the well
earned rest of the fishermen and by all
combined, beneficial influence Is left
upon the whole being. More anon. 81"

FRANCE RETALIATEs.

Washington. Dec. 2l.-The action Of the
French chamber of deputies yesterday in
passing a bill Increasing the duties Jn
hogs, sos products. lard. etc. is regarded
as retaiaitory IN effect against the United
States.
For some time Negotiations have been
prOc,,ding between Frame and this coun-
try toward making a reciprocity agree
ment. They came to "A stop recently when
the authorities here asked a recognition
of such an agreement thar France would
raise is restrictions against American
cattle and meat products The French
ambassador. NJ. Patrenotre, commani.
Gated with his government. but no reply
was given. He was soon after directed
to return to Paris. where ne now Is IN

No word has been received as to the
purpose Of France since the ambassador
left. but the action in the chamber of
deputies yesterday. Naner raise Of du-
ties or certain meat products was Pot

to the conclusion that the French policy
win not be towards abolIshing restrictions
but toward their striuCency. Figures On

BANK NOTES RETIRED.

Washington. Dec. 91.-Mr Coffin, acting
controller of the currency today called
attention to the fact that the retirement
of national bank notes during the first
% days of the month reached the sum Of
SSO0O,OO0, This is said to he the first time
during the last ten years that voluntary
retirement has reaShed this amount in
any one month. Under the national bank
act the United States treasurer is not
allowed to receive for the retirement of
circulation more than 100000 in any one
month. and hence all deposits to retire
the uotes during uhe last ten days of this
month must be refused This exceptional
condition, Mr.. Coffin says, is due to the
prevailing low rates Of interest arising
from the superabundance OF money for
Investment. which has advanced the price
Of United States bonds. Mr.. Coffin ex-
pressed the opinion that the law should
zoe amended in this particular, as It in
terferes with the elasticity Of the currency
and the general laws OF trade.
