Saw the broad violet Of the Aegean sea
Lap at his feet as 1t were village brook.
Wide was the east; the gusts Of morning
shook:
Immortal laughter beat along that

The gods came down and thundered from

Lessons of the Engineers Strike.

The ''ultimatum'' of the federated en-
ployers, presented December 1 to the del
egates Of the striking engineers of Great
Britain, may or may not prove to have
been really an ultimatum. In such a
struggle there is usually position back
of the last ditch, yet short of complete
flight or surrender. But it would be a
calamity to both parties if some of the
positions now held by the employers
should be abandoned. For instance. un-
der the head of Freedom of Employ
ment," they stipulated that every work
man should be free to belong to a trade
union or not, as he may think fit; that
every employer should be free to employ
any man, whether he belong or not to a
trade union; and that every workman
should undertake to work eaceably and
tremendously with all fellow-employes,
whether he or they belong to trade
union or not. That sounds like SIM
pie recitation of the alphabet of liberty;
but the delegates of the unions, in the
address with which they accompanied the
submission of the ultimatum to vote of
the members, declare that these propo-
sitions, and all the rest, being pervaded
with the idea of individual bargaining
between employer and workman" are
Numerically opposed to the first prin-
clples of trade unionism. "-Engineering

American Woman Ahrnad.

An American minister to continental
court, who has recently been recalled
states that the large number of American
women who travel in Europe unattended
by husbands, fathers or brothers excite
not little comment among Europeans Of
the better class.
The question was asked him by a prom
inent official: 'Haf American wifes no
husbands at all, then? They c0me-~three,
four, six at once to court. They ask to
be presented to the King; they ask to be
invited to state dinners; they must walk In
nit a duke. There are not dukes enough
to 90 round. Why do not their husbands
come and walk in NIT some duchesses?"
At the Austrian court no Americans
outside of the diplomatic circle are pre-
scented; very few at Berlin, while Queen
Margherita of Italy, who has been more
hospitable to our people than any other
continental sovereign, has recently de-
clined to receive any married woman I'M
accompanied by her husband. Have
they no homes in their own country, these
poor ladies?' asked French woman,
that they spend months or years in Eu-
rope wandering about alone?"
1t was explained to her that American
men often remained at home, earning the
money necessary to send their wives and
daughters abroad for the education which
foreign travel gives. eff that be so,'' she
replied, ''they will study art and Ian
guages hard, so as to return quickly to
those who work for them. They will not

purse, it can be obtained considerably
cheaper, and the effect is almost as good.
"A very pretty way to make house
dress of this material is with plain full
skirt, and bodice trimmed in surplice
fashion, each fold of the surplice being
bordered with tiny ruffles of chiffon.
The belt is of velvet to match the fig
ures in the Grape, which in one case were
of bright cherry color. Two long cherry
colored velvet ends with tiny chiffon ruff
ies hung nearly to the floor
These Grape dresses are much more
durable than you would suppose, and for
the house are very long lived, since they
neither crush nor spot easily.

Rabbi Joseph Silverman in his sermon
At Temple Emanuel yesterday morning

the length of the average life of the race.

Silverman. has not in his heart the true
conception of God. Truth, love. mercy
and justice, which are other names for
God. are no longer uppermOSt in our
minds. We have lost the heroes of old
who would sacrifice their lives for their
faith. In our fathers time their whole
life was pprmeated with religious faith
and thought. Their religious fervor was
of the kind which made martyrs. heroes
and prophets. and inspired literature and
art. They We're ready to live or die for
their faith. This has always been Is

Grand Army Memorial Services al
 Honolulu, Hawaii.

The George D. DeLong Post, G. A. R., was organized some eighteen years ago. Special attention has ever been given to Memorial Day services, the citizens showing great respect by closing their places of business, and participating in the exercises.
 This year the Memorial sermon was preached in the Methodist Episcopal Church by the writer of thls note. The decorations were elaborate, the music excellent and the whole service was patriotic and inspiring. SThe Memorial Day pa- rsde consisted of two companies of the National Guard of Hawaii, three companies of militia, ifty-four men from the United States cruiser Ben nington, a like company from the United States cruiser Charleston, the veterans of the G. 4. R. Post and citizens, the whole led by the excellent government band. At the cemetery the usual ritual of the Post was observed, and an address was delivered by the Rev. J. A. Cruzsn. The floral decorations were simply grand. Not only were the grages of the soldiers, but nearly all graves in the cemetery were decor ated. Wreatbs, emblems, bouquets and scattered flowers, together with the green grass and variegated foliage, was most pleasing. 1 am sure that lovers of flowers in Pres> colt would have been delighted to see it. am also sure that old sol diers in America would have been pleased to note the respect shown their dead comrades.
 There IS a great deal of patriotism for America here, and much interest IS shown in the present war. Elab- crate decorations chiefly "Old Glory" grace the city in honor of the expected troops, who are on their way to Maoila. SIX thousand dollars have been raised to enter tain them while here. They will surely feel at home, and will be greatly cheered on their way by this patriotic entertainment.
