AN AMERICAN GAIN.
Collector General McStOcker

Collector General McStocker
Makes a Commercial Point.
The following from the pen of Col
lector General McStocker, is given
prominence in the San Francisco
Chronicle:
A glance at the Hawaiian trade
shows that the commerce, tonnage, etc.,
is practically American, and that this
obtained not only during the year just
closed, but has extended through a
long period of years.
The bulk of the trade has this year
reached the high water mark, being the
largest year known in Hawaiian his
tory, and reaching the amount of ST.
6S2, ,62S.09, an excess over the previous
year of 81 1,618, ,975.68, or 1884 per cent.
of the whole coming from the United
States of America.
Twenty-three per cent. still comes
from countries other than the United
States, but the annexation of these ISL
ands and the application of the Ameri-
can tariff must so materially alter this
that the commercial gain to the United
States through annexation will be in
round figures $2,000,000 per year.
When the application of the Ameri-
can coasting laws is added to this the
gain to American commerce will be
such as to demand a large increase in
the tonnage, labor force for handling,

Part No. 2.

The second part of that superb sub
scription work Fifty Years of Masonry
in California; is now being distributed
by the agent, the Hawaiian News Com
pany. This part opens with a long
chapter on the introduction of the or
der into the United States and gives
extensive mention of a number Of revo-
lutionary heroes and of Masons who
made enemies by their activity in es-
tablishing free schools. The second
chapter gives a detailed account of the
work Of the first Masons to land On the
Pacific coast This work has high
historical value aside from the correct
and interesting Masonic record.

Bad Weather.

The high wind of yesterday and last
night was as bad as the floods of few
DAYS ago. The dust was in clouds for
hours and doors were closed, while
neople kept inside as much as possible.
Last night some trees were blown
down. a few wires crossed, some roofs
damaged and there was a grand rat
Ting of signs everywhere. There was
no damage to shipping.

as the work days, the gift of God?
Our bright days are as much Gods
special gift to us as are the sorrow
fol ones; and he intends for us to
enjoy these golden days, and let
them work their own happy magic
in our hearts. And we will be held
as responsible for a blessed golden
day spent in useless fretting, as for
a grief-laden day spent in sullen bit
terness aud repining We are to
take into our lives just as much of
sunshine as we can possible garner
into them; for many and many are
the dreary days when we must
radiate this heart-sunshine to warm
and brighten other lives as well as
our own. For not only for our own
sakes should we be glad, but even
more for the sake Of those about us.
A smile is as infectious as frown.
I have seen the two rows of faces
lining a street car cloud over and
grow somber at the entrance of one
sour-faced passenger; and / have
seen one simultaneous smile ripple
like sunshine from end to end of the
car at the coming of bright-faced
woman, or the cooling and laughter
Of one little child.
Our mood, whether sunny or de-
spondent, alters without our will the
mental state Of all with whom we
come in contact; it does not merely
cast its reflection over them to pass
away with our bodily presence; but
it co!ors them through and through,
some but family; some sensitive
natures, very deeply, with Its rosy
or indigo hue.
Thus when we rise in the morning
we hold in our hand the power, nay
the very necessity, of either darken
ing or Frightening this day for al
with whom we come in contact.-H
Joor, IN the Churchman.

course it is for indoor wear, and is
not for dress occasions.
With plaid slippers plain black
silk stockings are worn. The plaid
stockings appear only with the
black satin slipper.
Speaking of black satin slippers
reminds me that the latest wrinkle
in satin slippers is the satin ribbon
tackled on at the back, brought to
the front, then back again in crisis
cross fashion, like sandals are
strapped to the feet, or rather, after
the way of the peasants slipper.
The new leather or kid house slip
pers have straps that go over the
instep, cross at the ankle and but
ton at the back.
The plaid satin slipper that is de-
signed solely for bedroom wear is
edged with tiny band of black fur.
Another novelty in slippers is of
checked velvet, in blue and white,
black and white, red and white,
and so on through the list of colCrs.
With the checked slipper, stockings
of the predominant color in the
slipper are worn. 1t may be re-
marked in passing that only the wo-
man who has u small foot should
wear plaid or checked slippers. The
woman whom nature has endowed
with feet that are none too small
will wisely stick to the plain black
satin or kid slippers, with rosette or
buckle.
Another new evening shoe is tan
kid. 1t is shaped something like
the opera toe in front, but has a
large buckle with a wide tongue
projecting above it. A similar slip
per is made of bronze and also OF
red kid. 1t is only within the last
year that manufacturers have sue
ceeded in getting dye for kid slip
pers, and only thel goat could be
procured in tan, as, the tan slipper il

pair of these even at the price of 81

Helpful Ideas.

For the sickroom simple disin-
fectant is made by putting some
ground coffee in saucer and in the
center small piece of camphor
gum. Light the gum with match.
AS the gum burns allow the coffee
to burn with it. The perfume is re-
freshing and healthful, as well as
inexpensive.
Whiten yellow linen by boiling
half an hour in one pound of fine
soap melted in one gallon of milk.
Then wash in suds, then in two cold
waters, with little blueing.
Old feather beds, if left on grass
plot during a summer shower, and
allowed to get thoroughly wet, will,
when dry and beaten, seem fresh
and new again.

Separate skirts.

A black broadcloth skirt is now
counted among the separate skirts
of the woman who has complete
wardrobe. These skirts may be
had in the shops, or will be there in
a short time, as they will be quite
as fashionable with bright waists as
silk skirts have been heretofore.
There is simple elegance about a
black broadcloth skirt that is GER
tain to recommend it at once to
popular favor. Plain skirts of
coiored broadclotE, exactly matched
in velvet for the blouse, will appear
on the streets as soon as it is time to
leave off winter wraps. One such
suit now in process of construction
has skirt of olive green cloth, and
velvet blouse to match. This will
be belief with black satin and q
black satin stock is to be worn
about the throat. The skirt Ii
guiltless of trimming, and fits very
close about the hips.

When baby wakes

When baby wakes
But little gratitude he shows,
When other people want to doze!
AT night, when folks have gone to bed,
He rouses them all no instead,
To wait on him. Ma lights the lamp,
And warns milk for the little scamp!
Pa walks him up and down the floor,
Sometimes two hours and sometimes
more!
And nurse comes running, in astew,
To see what she for him can do!
And VIII and Harry, at the row,
Call: "What's the matter with him
nowY"
And Pm walked up at all the clatter
To wonSer what on earth's the matter!
Such uproar in the house he makes,
When baby wakes!
So if asleep, or if awake,
The house exists but for his sake,
And such tiny fellow-he,
To be boss of this family!

The blouse is still popular and will

Black silk umbrellas lined with
bright plaid are quite modlsh this

Silver gray cloth jackets are
among the smartest things that the
makers of wraps will show in 8
short time. Silver gray tailor cos
tunes will be considered elegant fol

Coral aud cameo jewelry has COM

wears. Strings of coral about a fai

Take Time to be Cad.

Take time to be glad? Do we ever
take time to even remember we are
living, let alone pausing to sip the
richness and sweetness or life? Our
DAYS are so filled with hurry and
unrest there is no time to note their
beauty.
We each have our piece of daily
work; our long weary seam to sew;
and the needle pricks, and the
thread tangles, and the work puck
ers in our nervous fingers; till, fret
ted and weary and worn, If Mt set
of sun we can but show the work
decently done, and the FUCKERS
smoothed away, we say it's all eau
be asked of us. III FUCKERS have
gathered in our own brow, if new
lines OF dependency have been
carved about our lips, what matters
it? We are too tired, too tired, TO
be glad
But what if the spirit in which we
work be counted as of more moment
than the work itself? Not that our
labor is without its own sacred
significance aud for this very
reason, lest our work lose its simple
dignity and sanctity, We must not
suffer it to embitter our hearts or
crush down the longings OF the
higher nature.
Would it not be we'll to take time
to be glad; to cool our flushed
cheeks and throbbing temples?
While the sun shines, and the
rain falls; while beautiful lives shed
their brightness over the dusty
places of earth; while flowers bloom,
and children with their morning
faces gladden. our way, shall we go
through life with countenances that
bear witness only to it's dark and
sorrowful side?

happiness in mature life IS oy re-
learning the secret of childhood IL

For Demi-Toileis.

The train is intended solely for the
matron. 1t was never intended for
girls to wear. All the evening or
dance frocks for young wearers are
cut with round skirts. The most
exquisite evening frocks are of satin
covered with net of soft, fine kind
resembling tulle, and this loose
upper skirt adorned with rows Of
net ruching, or deliberately flounced,
each ftounce run with babe ribbon,
and the blouse bodice trimmed to
correspond.
Black MORE is rather heavy for
evening wear, and does not light up
so we'll as satin, nor does the fussy
chiffon and glittering sequined net
look so well in combination with
MORE. A charming demi-toilet
for matron who objects to light
colors would be slightly trained
skirt of black duchess satin, the
edge trimmed with aruche of black
lace and satin ribbon, and the
bodice with ruffled sleeves of net,
powdered with a light design in
helotrope and gold sequins. The
belt would be of heliOtrope or dahlia
velvet, folded quite narrow, and
| round the square neck a shaped
bertha arrangement of dahlla vel
vet, with tiny border of mink or
sable, and frills of fine black lace,
caught up with boquets of mixed
violets on the shoulders and front.
For demi-toilet wear, long, tight
sleeves, ruffled, gagged or laid in
pleats, are extremely fashionable,
and these are brought down well
over the hand and finished with
frills and ruchings. AS only short
gloves can be worn, and bracelets
are not much in evidence, many
prefer the tight elbow sleeves; but
the long one is more fashionable
and smarter effect is obtained by
sloping the cuff high upon the in
side of the arm and letting only the
back fall over the hand.
Brocaded satlns, especially those
with the design in relief tints, are
usually trimmed with creamy anc
antique hued laces, and tiny Dor
| ders of dark fur are lovely on sucf
gowns. The handsomer sequineC

or lace, which form borders or in
sertions; and complete fronts FOL
bodices are to be bought on net oil
chiffon, with trimmings to cor
respond, and these are exquisite fol
high evening blouses, for evening
wear generally in excessively colo
weather.
Black evening toilets are simply
lovely, with steel embroideries oil
net, when mounted on black satin
and these are quite permissible il
subdued mourning, and for genera
wear can be enlivened with coloreC
flowers and knots aud bows of ricI
colored velvet. Both the dec
geranium-red and the beautifully
soft geranium-pink are C Tors seeI
at their best on black, while tn
richer tones of dahlia and amethys
, are exquisite on black net, EN-
broidered with gold.

Rudyard Kipling.

Rudyard Kipling has been accused
of undue self advertisement" and
lack of modesty. But, in view of
several facts which have recently
come to light, it would seem that
the charge was not deserved We
find it announced, on the authority
of the London Times, that Mr.. Kip
ling declined to receive payment for
his now famous poem, "Recession-
al, " which originally appeared in
The Times, on the ground that he
would not take money for patriotic
poems. The following paragraph.
which we find in Literature, is also
significant:
Rudyard Kipling is a young man,
born in 1854, and therefore was less
than 30 when Tennyson died at the
age of IS. The last-named poet had
a few years before complimented the
younger one--Kipling-on his ode to
the English Flag" and Mr.. Kip
ling wrote this significant and sug-
gestive acknowledgment: when
the private in the ranks is praised
by the general, he cannot presume
to thank him, but he fights the bet
ter next day.

Dorothy Wordsworth, daughter Of
the poet, tells us in her Rem
iniscences'' that her famous father
once remarked to his friend Crabb
Robinson:
II am not in the habit of grudging
people their good things, but | wish
had written those lines" and he
quoted the last stanza of Mrs. Bar
bauld's address to Life:
"Life! we've been long together
Through pleasant and through cloudy
weather:
IT'S hard to part when friends are dear
Perhaps twill cost sigh, a tear.
Then steal away, give little warning,
Choose thine own time;
Say not Goodnight, but in some brighter
cline
Bid me Good-mOrning."
