ed at ii grocery whose proprietor did
not advertise, and found therein a
small tin box which contained a small
piece of paper bearing the following.
written in a neat feminine hand:
Il am a girl of IS years, good look
ing and an excellent housekeeper.
Should this be found by some unmar-
RED Christian gentleman will he please

TIL Hawaiian VIII san for
the Pacific Islands rs Originally An
nounced, August 10.

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator Nor
gan, of Alabama, a member of the Ha-
waiian annexation commission, saw
President Mckinley yesterday after
noon and suggested to him the wisdom
of delaying the departure and work Of
the commission until about October /,
in view of the existing Spanish
American situation and the desira-
bility of adjudication first of
matters connected with Hawaii's
land laws. The president, however,
thought that it was best to proceed
with the important work at once and
accordingly the present plan of the
commission to sail from San Francisco
on August 10 remains unchanged. The
president, in the course of the confer
ence, EXPRESSED himself as, highly
pleased over the enthusiastic reception
of the news Of annexation in the is
lands g -44sa.s S

Ruined by Rum.

The list of persons who have killed them
selves because they have been ruined by
rum is long one, and the list Of those who
have killed themselves by rum is much
longer. Every day persons who have
spent all their money In buying rum hang
themselves, or make way with themselves
are taken to insane asylums, almshouses
and prisons; every day they are discharged
from situations; every day they receive
wounds without cause; every day their wives
and children, in some cases their husbands
and children, are made wretched by the
spectacle of their drunkenness. Never
theless, the people of the United States
look with favor upon the saloon, because
they are shortsighted enough to think that
it keeps down taxes.-The New York

Etherion is the name given by
Charles F. Brush, an electrician, to
an element which he thinks he has
discovered in the atmosphere.
An inch of rain falling upon an area
of one square mile is equivalent to
nearly 17,500, 900 gallons, weighing

The beautiful colors seen in the soap
bubble arise from the fact that the
bubble, being very thin, reflects light

While lightning may be seen and its
illumination of clouds and mist may
be recognized when it is even two
hundred miles distant, thunder is
rarely audible more than ten miles.
The thunder from very distant storms,
therefore, seldom reaches the ear.
1t has been shown that, acre for
acre, water is capable of supplying a
much greater quantity of nitrogenous
food for man than land can supply.
The cultivation of water areas is called
agriculture, and it's products, in con-
tradistinction to those of agriculture,
are fish, crabs. oysters, clans and other
edible marine animals.

A Large Family.

A single young man heard the banns
called in church one day. Perhaps he
had not always been very attentive to
the service, or perhaps marriages were
more frequent than usual that season,
for the ordinary announcement seemed
to make an impression on him. At
dinner that day he observed thought
fully, as if communing with himself:
"They must be large family!"
"Who?" asked the company, for the
speaker was silent man, and one
whose remarks were few and far be-
tween.
why, those Spinsters" he an
swered, gravely "There was another
Of them called in church to-day"
He thought it was a proper name.
But he was right. The Spinsters are
large family. Tit
