Reverence for loyalty Was Once n
Marked Characteristic.
One Of the most marked characteris-
tics of the ancient Hawaiian religion
was the extreme reverence for royalty
Indicated, says the Philadelphia Press.
1t was a crime punishable with death
to pass through the kings shadow or
sit higher than his head. His person
was sacred and protected by strict sys-
tenn of "taboo." In the royal palace

king announced his accommodations.

stone cap. If this stick was lowered on
the approach of courier he was COM
PEELED to withdraw Immediately and
was considered in deep disgrace.
The kings will was absolute; but the
majority OF the Hawaiian monarchs
seem to have been Of a kindly DISPOSE
ton and to have made no improper use
Of their extreme power. 1t was due to
one of them that the taboo system was
abolished. This bore with grievous
weight upon the women. They were
forbidden the use of some of the most
common articles of diet, such as bananas
and certain kinds Of fish, on pain of
death.

Dependent Children.

The State Board Of Control calls
attention to the State Public School
for Neglected and Dependent Children
at Sparta. Wis, and urges assistan, e
in finding homes for the children
sent to that institution.
There are many people in the state
who would like to adopt or receive on
indenture such children but do not
know how To proceed, and in fact
many do not know that such institu-
tions exist.
The school is intended simply as a
clearing house. The children sent
there through misfortune or neglect
are kept only long enough to find
suitable homes for them to enter.
They may be indentured until u
wears of age If. after "a reasonable trial.
it appears that the conditions
are favorable TO the best interests of
both the child and the family.
There are now about go children
most of whom are ready to be placed
in desirable homes. Among them
are 80 boys from three TO eight years
Of age. vino are especially desirable
for adoption.
Any person desiring to take a child
on trial should communicate with the
Superintendent Of State Public School
40 Sparta, Wis, who viii send an
agent to the person applying or vii
furnish any desired information con
corning the children, rules, etc.

To Preach for the President.

Shortly after President Mckinley
was inaugurated it became a question
Of interest in Washington and soon.
through the newspapers, to all the
I country, as to which Of the churches
he would attend. OF course his long
and prominent Identification with the
Methodist denomination made il GER
tain that he would unite with one Of
the Methodist churches Of that city,
but the particular church which was
to be thus honored was the subject Of
much inquiry ard dispute-for such is
the curiosity that doth hedge about a
President. Tue President promptly de-
termined the matter by uniting with
the Metropolitan Methodist church,
aside from his presence perhaps the
most prominent Methodist church in
the country. Then came the no less
interesting question or who should be
his pastor. 1t was taken for
granted that the ablest preacher Of
this denomination to be secured in all
careful consideration the choice fell
upon a young western man-Dr.
Frank Bristol, pastor of the lst NJ. e.
church of Evanston and virtually Of
the Uniyersity-preacher to the third
largest institution Of learning in the
United States. He signitied his ac-
ceptance, and is soon to become the
most conspicuous pastor in America.
The city Of River Falls is fortunate
beyond many a larger and prouder city
in being given the opportunity to hear
a lecture by this honored and eloquent
an,-One of the very last discourses
he is to deliver in the West. Certain
ly his coming to this city is distinct
event in the city's history.
