FRENCH LINE.
Steamer to Call Here Once a
Month-New Trade.

From the Foreign Office it is learned
that beginning in a short time a
steamship of the French line TO ply in
the South Seas will make this place a
regular port of call. The ships will
be here once month. There is yet
no statement of details. All that is
certain is that this port will be an
important terminus of one of the main
routes of the new company. Honolulu
will then be to Tahiti and other
French possessions to the South what
San Francisco is now. At present two
sailing packets in and out of San
Francisco do the business that will be
transferred to Honolulu, The steam
ers of the new line will be of consid-
cradle tonnage. While the business
will be quite an item from the begin
ming, it will grow to great proportions
as time passes. Shipping men say it
will change the South Sea trade rela-
ton to San Francisco entirely. 1t is
more than likely that connections will
be made by the new liners here with
either sailing vessels from the Coast
steamers. Perhaps it will be with
both. There will be quite an amount
Of transhipping here and the extra
wharf room will make the local harbor
more crowded than ever. This COM
pany is called "Messagerries Mari
times de France" and is subsidized by
the French Government. There will
be lines from the South Seas also to
New Zealand and Australia.

Captain Parker of the Police force
took Detective Madden Of Auckland
in tow yesterday forenoon and, after
showing him over the Police Station
took him to Oahu Jail, where a call on
Jailor Low was made and the jail thor
oughly inspected. Mr.. Madden ex-
pressed himself as very much pleased
with Honolulu and, in fact, became SO
enthusiastic as to call Hawaii nel a
better place than New Zealand.

Eye Remedies.

One of the simplest and best RENE
dies for Inflammation or strain is to
battle the eyes in warm water. Another
good remedy is solution of salt and
water made by putting teaspoonful Of
fine table salt into half pint of water.
Let it boil, and when cold strain it, re-
moving any particles or sediment. Put
ting this ON the outside of the lids is
simply waste of time. The eye should
be opened, the lids drawn back, and the
infiamed portion touched with camel s
hair brush dipped in the salt water.
Outside applications do not reach the
seat of the ailment. A teaspoonful Of
boracic acid in half pint of water pre-
pared in the same way is excellent. If
there are granulations and very serious
inflammation, boil teaspoonful of
alum in pint OF water until it is dis
solved, then strain or filter as described
and apply with cancels hair brush
several times day. This is one Of the
most ef1icacious of remedies. = New
York Ledger.

Cromwell.

Cromwell kept quiet during the years
in which Charles was governing with
out parliament. He is not heard of as
resisting the payment Of ship money
or even as setting at defiance the eccle-
siastical courts. Clearly he was no am
bilious firebrand, but a man under au-
thority, whose aim it was to carry obe-
dience to the utmost limits consistent
with his personal duty. This, too, is
characteristic Of the man and displays
itself again and again in his prolonged
hesitations to break with established
authority.
In his conservative dislike to hasty
changes, combined with religion influ-
encing the conduct as well as the creed,
Cromwell was q fair representative of
the better part of England, none the
less because when once his reluctance
to step forward had vanished he was
capable Of administering heavy blows
against those who blocked the way too
persistently even for his patience and
because when once he had broken with
the past no going back was any longer
possible for him. -"Cromwell' Place
In History" by S. r. Gardiner.

The Money Making Game.

The first of all English games is
making money. That is an all absorb
ing game, and we knock each other
down oftener in playing at that than at
football or any other rougher sport, and
it is absolutely without purpose. 10
one who engages heartily in that game
ever knows why. Ask great money
maker what he wants to do with his
money-he never knows. He doesn t
make it to do anything with it. He gets
it only that he may get it. "What will
you make Of what you have got?" you
ask. well, I'll get more" he says
Just as at cricket you get more runs
There's no use in the runs, but to get
more Of them than other people is the
game. And there's no use in the money,
but to have more of it than other peo-
pie is the game. So all that great foul
city of London there-rattling, growl-
ing, smoking. stinking-a CHASTITY heap
Of fermenting brickwork, pouring out
poison at every pore-you fancy it is a
city of work? Not street of It'll 1t is a
great city of play; very nasty play, and
very hard play, but still play. 1t is
only Lords cricket ground without the
turf-a huge billiard table without the
cloth, and with pockets as deep as the
bottomless pit, but mainly billiard
table after all.-John Ruskin.

Goxernment and Cine Citizen.

To what extent the government touch

article in The Atlantic Monthly. From
the time that "a man rises, all through
his business and social activity OF the

viding for him, regulating him, telling

Wales ports. There has also been q
large amount of speculative buying in
connection with the possibilities of war.
Simultaneously the north England coal
trade has suffered depression, the only
boom being in Welsh smokeless coal,
ON account of its advantages, which
in wartime are obvious. Welsh coal
masters have the idea that if England
goes to war no British mercantile vessel
will venture to put to sea with the or.
binary soft coal with which they are
content in time of peace, for it is n
modern axiom that the less smoke the
more safety.
1t is believed by some optimistic di-
plomatist that the easing of the crisis In
the far east between Great Britain and
Russia will have favorable effect upon
the near eastern deadlock and perhaps
make it possible to settle the intermina-
BILE Cretan question. These persons are
not hopeless that Prince George will
soon be established in the governorship

How alaskan Indians Trap Bears.

William B. Otis, who has been all
over the world as one of the ichthyolo-
gists in the employ of the government,
speaking of his experience in Alaska,
said:

hunks of fat and frozen that way. The
fat thus prepared is left in promising
spots for great white bears to devour
Along comes one of the monsters. gulping

melt the fat and eat away the strings of

Introducing His Fiancee.

There is doubt in some mans mind
very often as to when he should make
known to his people the girl he hopes
to marry. In some cases he prefers that
they should become acquainted before
the die is cast and he has bound him
self to her for better, for worse, by a
promise. AT other times he has GER
tain diffidence about introducing them
to each other till they know in what po-
sition she is to stand toward himself,
and the result is that he is little be-
wildered. Perhaps in many ways it is
more comfortable for a girl to know his
people before she is presented to them
as future relative. But circumstances
often render this out Of the question.
and then there is only one correct form
OF proceeding.
Where his people and hers live in the
same place his family must call upon
her as soon as they are informed Of the
engagement. If they live at distance,
they should at once write, welcoming
her as future relative, and it is usual
where possible to invite her to stay with
them and make their acquaintance.
When this is done, it is more COM
Portable plan on both sides if the fiance
can accompany her and introduce her in
