STRANGE FLIGHT Of TINE.
STORY or THE CUSTOMS HOUSE
RECORDS.
Rider llaggard and the Romancers of
His School Justified and Proved by
Official Documents.

The dry records of the custom
house sometimes embalm the anguish
OF broken hearts. Bomances some
times picture the characters of their
creation as growing old in a single
night under the onslaught of a great
sorrow. The most striking thing in
Rider llaggard's She is the de-
scription ut the rush of arrested years
pouring in an avalanch on the head of
the mysterious woman, she who is
to be obcyed,' till in moment she is
changed from the comeliness of a
youth over which the centuries have
had no influence, to the wrinlled,
withcred, mumified appearance which
those centuries would be expected to
bring i'm natural order.
But these are romances. 1t has re-
manned for the records of the Ilonolu-
Ia Custom House to furnish the ire
fragible proof that such things may
be.
Among the documents under the
control of Collector General McStock-
er are some which show, not in an
abstract way, as by syllogism and ar
gument, that the romances are right,
but by concrete example, pointing out
the individual and the exact duration
in years of the agony endured. And
all Honolulu knows the man.
These records show that Il man
whose age, nativity and occupation
are given, came here November 9Th,
aged 43 wears. The newspapers of the
next week tell the story of the catas-
trophe that overlook him. The GUS
tom house records then take up the
thread of veracious fact again and
show that this 43 years old man left
here on November 18th, thirteen UNI
lucky days after he came, aged 80
years.
w. Gaspard de Coligny is the man.
The contumely and discredit which
followed his attempt to rewrite the
history of Hawaii so as to bring the
Confederate cruiser Alabama here in
1861 with himself aboard her as a
lieutenant, was the catastrophe. He
came on the Doric, described as a ma
tive of France, 43 years old, and Il
tourist. He left on the Rio with no
nativity ascribed to him on the ships
manifest, but 80 years old. His hurt
ling experience with the established
facts of history against which he ran
up. aged him seven years in thirteen
days.
But the facts prove more for the
romancers of literature. They com
pletely vindicate Rider Haggard's the
DRY of the arrest of time. For if he
was naval lieutenant in 1861 and
was only 40 years old in 1898, he was
lieutenant at 6. a manifest impossi-
biIity. Or even if he were so in 1898
he must have been lieutenant at IS
an impossibility amounting to mani
fest impossibility. Therefore he was
more than six or even thirteen when
he was d lieutenant on the Alabama
in the port of Honolulu in 1861, but
time for him was afterwards arrested
and the jolt he received when he tried
to pass for history his bare faced lie,
simply Embossed the blocked escape
ment from the wheels of time and let
years roll by in fortnight.
Thus are Rider Haggard and the rO-
mancers justified by official records.

Comfort for Women.

Some time ago Pullman's Palace Car
company built three parlor cars for
the b. & O.'s New York trains, and the
radical departure from other cars OF
this character lay in the toilet room
for ladies, which was eight feet in
length. Recently the same company
has built eight new sleepers for the
New York-St. Louis line of the B. & u,
and the designer Of the cars has evil
IDENTIFY been impelled by the popular
ity Of the ladies' retiring room In the
parlor cars to give to the ladies vast
deal more space than they ever had be-
fore in sleeping cars. These new cars
are said by the Pullman people to be
the finest they ever turned out, and
the ladies' retiring room Is exceeding
ly commodious, and contains, besides
other toilet necessities, dresser with
a long pier glass. The cars are nm
ished in vermillion wood, decorated
with inlaid marquetry work, and the
upholstery on the backs and seats Is
entirely new and different from any
heretofore used, being sort of a mo-
quette with dark green border and a
center pattern Of bright color. A sim
liar design of ornamentation has been
applied to the ceiling, giving the car
an arabesuue effect. They are also
supplied with all the modern appli-
ances. such as wide vestibules, anti
telescoping device, air pressure water
system and are lighted with Pintsch
gas. A very pleasing effect is obtained
by the oval windows Of opalescent
glass. the first that has been used in
the construction OF the sleeping cars.

Bribing Spurgeon.

The recent autobiography of the late
Rev. Charles H. Sturgeon contains an
account of what may be termed an
early business venture, and its infiu-
ence on his character. Sturgeon was
brought up on Watts hymns; but not
altogether willingly. His grandmoth-
er coaxed him with money to learn
them. At first she gave him a penny,
but when she saw how easily it was
earned, the old lady reduced the prize
to a halfpenny and then to farthing.
There is no telling how low the
amount per hymn might have fallen,
but just at this time his grandfather
made a discovery which seemed more
desirable to Spurgeon. He discovered
that his house was overrun with rats,
and offered his grandson a shilling a
dozen for all he could kill. The oc-
cupation OF rat-killing gave him more
money than learning hymns. But"
Mr.. Sturgeon Enthusiastically says,
II know which employment has been
the more permanently profitable to
me I"

SIR HERBERT KITCHENER.
A Good Judge of Characteristic Il
His PATRONAGE.

n eooo Suoko OF Charaotor-rhr II
His Patronage.
Gems. Hunter and Rumble had al
ready distinguished themselves in the
khedival service before Kitchener be-
came their chief; Macdonald also,
Lewis Maxwell and others had Joined
the Egyptian army under another sir
dar. but crowd of good men owed
their appointment to Kitchener, says
the Fortnightly Review. He has ever
tried to get the best assistance posi-
BILE; he Is Judge of character and he
has been very fair and public-spirited
In the use OF his patronage. A serv-
ice which offers large promises of pro-
motion and distinction has been eager
ly sought after. Great pressure. po-
litical and social, has been brought to
bear upon the man who really con-
trolled nominations. for the sirdar's
recommendations have been invariably
respected at the war office. But In no
case has aught but merit availed and
the result Is that the officers now serv-
ing In Egypt are "the pick OF the
basket" the brightest and best in the
queens service. We may confidently
expect those trained in Egypt to rise
In due course to the very top Of the
tree. The present generation of dis
tinguished soldiers is passing away.
At the end Of another decade, soldiers
OF the school Of Wolseley and of Rob-
erts will be mostly disqualified by age
IL they have not already joined the
majority, and the country must look
for their successors among the young
men now coming to the front Oppor-
tunity Is the only sure avenue to sue
cess in our army, and those who make
the most of 1t rise fastest and highest.
In this way Egyptian service has Of
fered the most abundant chances OF
modern campaigns. Seldom, IL ever
before, have quite young men-junior
In regular rank-found great openings,
responsible duties, large commands, at
time when they would be no more
than regimental company officers, in
specting dinners or mounting guard.
Sir Herbert Kitchener occupies a posi-
tion almost unique in the experience OF
British generals. Not only is he at the
head of large army in the field before
he Is fifty, but he has enjoyed extraor-
binary advantage in command, some
thing indeed like complete ipdepend-
ence.

used electricity he could not feel it below
his hips. Finally we let the doctor go as he
did not seem to help our son and we nearly
gave up hope Finally my mother who

and bought some.

for nine months. In six weeks after taking
the pills we noticed signs of vitality in his
legs, and in four months he was able to go
to school
lit is two years since he took the FIRST of
the pills and he is at school now just as
happy and well as any OF the other child
rem. 1t was nothing else in the world that
saved the boy than DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People,"
