Often an otherwise careful mother, por.

Perhaps children arc inclined TO cat too
fast. 1t is certainly II common fault and
one which may no avoided by dcfcrring
tho self feeding and letting tho mother by
patient deliberate feeding aid tho child in
forming correct habits. And again. this
duty should never be loft to an Ignorant

SHORT NEWS STORIES.
Grant and His Tame Bear-Bishop
Winners Odd Method.

The emperor of Germany is an en-
thusiastic sportsman and does not like,
rs other hunters do not, to sec his game
get away. An incident which German
paper records as Of recent occurrence
shows that he is capable of waving his
dignity to prevent that calamity.
The emperor was hunting ut Believe
accompanied by his head gar Akecper
only. The emperor succeeded in wound
ing superb stag, which, after the shot,
threw itself into n reedy pond, where it
was ont of the range of tho emperor's
rifle. There was no boat with which to
go out after the animal
In this predicament the emperor look
ed about and saw large oak tree which
overlooked the pond, and from which
the stag might be shot. But tho en-
peror's withered arm does not permit
him to climb trees, SO he commanded
the gamekeeper to "shin" the tree and
shoot the stag
This the man tried to do but he was
so heavy and clumsy thaS he could not
get up into the tree. Ho tried 10 do SO
two or three times, and failing, was as
tonished to SEQ the emperor stoop down
like one who is preparing to play leap
frog and to hear him say. Climb on
my back
The gamekeeper mounted tho emper-
or's back alongside tho trunk of the
oak. The emperor Strengthened up, and
the gamekeeper was then ablo to reach
the nearest branch and lift himself up
into the tree The result was that the
emperor got his stag, but he has since
laughed great deal about the incident.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Wholesome Influence of Good Color In
the Family Living Rooms.


the Family Living Rooms.
Color is the most important element in
household decoration, as it is what most
forcibly strikes the eye. a great fault in
the furnishing of tho average house is tho
absence of color. In tho name of good
taste all brilliancy and warmth are Danish
cd, and dull drabs, grays and browns pre-
vail in wall coverings, carpets and hang
ings. The influence of environments on
mental and physical health is now fully
recognized by the medical profession and
should be better realized than it is by
everybody. While crude and conflicting
colors are unrcstful, dull and muddy ones
arc depressing and tend TO produce melan-
choly, discomfort and low spirits in per
sons who live among them. 1t is, of
course, undesirable to hang II wall with
wildly tinted paper, although some reds
and soft yellows arc highly pleasing where
no pictures or only black and white pic
lures, such AS cngravings, etchings and
photographs, are TO be hung, but there are
warm cream and golden brown tones, soft
grcenish grays, subdued old roso tints and
olives, which, although not brilliant, arc

Mass Meeting.
Comparisons Showing That They Do Not
Get Fair Play W. 0. Smith q.
Blamed.

LIHUE, Kauai, March A, 1885,
A mass meeting of the citizens of
Kauai: was held at Lihue, Kauai,
on the above mentioned date for
the purpose of securing from the
Legislature appropriations for
public improvements. The meet
ing was called to order by w. II.
Rice, Jr., and the following per-
manent officers were elected: CHI.
Bishop, chairman; III. d. Wish
ard, secretary, and w. Sheldon,
interpreter.
The chairman stated the objects
of the meeting and called atten
ton to the utter lack of attention
which Kauai had received from
the Legislature and laid the fault
primarily at the door of our repre-
sentatiyes.
Representative S. X. Kaeo spoke
for the representatives and said
the fault should be laid at the
door of W. o. Smith, as he had
opposed every appropriation for
which our representatives had
asked. That we were here now to
secure our rights. Equity says
that if you sleep on your rights
too long you will never get them.
We must do something now. We
have waited too long. Let us all
sign petitions for what is needed
Mr.. Isenberg said that the peo-
pie of Kauai were at fault for not
securing appropriations in former
years. He thought they were too
modest. He then gave pleasing
account of the progress of Hawaii,
noted by him on a recent visit
there, and hoped Kauai in the near
future would enjoy a measure of
the same progress. He thought it
time to let our Legislators know
what we wanted.
Sheriff Carter than read an in
terestipg comparative statement of
expenses and receipts in fines and
costs in the police department,
showing that as between Maui
and Kauai, whose populations
more nearly approached than any
other islands, Maui received
$4,000 appropriation for her
police department, while Kauai
received but $4,000. Yet thu
