Creatures Of Circumstances.

One would at first thought suppose
that q woman of the sensitive nature
of Ella Wheeler Wilcox, would be in
close sympathy with her sex in all
reasonable efforts for self-advance-
ment; but it seems that her ideas of
progress are widely ut variance with
the efforts being made for impartial
suffrage and equal rights under the
law. She declares that she is "op-
posed to the aggressive spirit of the
modern woman" and that she ode
plores her tendency to rush in and
compete with men in all professions
and avenues of business" Her feeling
of aversion to this competitive strife
owes its origin, she affirms, quite as
much to sympathy for thousands OF
weak men who have been pushed TO
the wall by the bustling female, by in
vasion of his domain, us to sorrow for
the women who become bold and mas
culine by coming in contact with the
rough side of the world.
This view of woman's participation
with man in the ordinary struggles of
life is not new, and is very generally
held by Fortunes pampered favorites
who have talent enough to climb with
out much effort to the higher rounds
of social distinction, or who from fam
lily position have no need to engage in
the arduous struggle for making
livelihood. Such women can afford
to be effeminate, if an ignorance OF
trades and professions whereby an
honest living may be earned, is all
indication of effeminacy, and it is after
all but dividing the labor with her
brother man, for if she earns nothing
he must toll for her as we'll as for him
self.
But the plan suggested by the poet
ess for accomplishing that coveted OBJ
ject, the widening of the distance be-
tween manly and womanly natures, is
a horrible alternative for one of her
gentle and loving nature to advocate.
1t is war-simply horrible, sanguinary
war! She says that war would put
the masculine woman" in the back
ground and "imbue the men of the
nation with that virility that they
seem so much in danger of losing"
1t must, OF course, be general and
devastating war, or only the brave
men would be killed off, leaving a ma
ton of towards to protect poor, frail,
clinging women, as Ella would have
all her sex to be.
The only rational explanation we
can find for the peculiar views Of the
distinguished authoress is by accept
ing the rule of opposites, which seems
sometimes to be natural but unex-
planned characteristic of humanity.
By it her gentle nature finds pleasure
in contemplation of the rugged, her
peaceful disposition is aroused to rap
ture by thoughts of valor and deeds of
courage, and she by the same charac-
terteristic, expects to find in man that
sturdiness of the oak, which by the
same antithesis constitutes the sup
port of the clinging vine.
1t is safe to say, however, that had
Mrs. Wilcox's environments been diff
ferent and her opportunities of life
circumscribed, it is very probable that
her aesthetic nature would have under
gone some change through the worlds
rigid discipline.

about 6 o'clock p. IN. aud it ended
sometime near mid night. No &C
count can be traced as 10 how the
fire commenced as it started ia the
attic, but it is attributed to the rats
getting at the matches. Very little
was saved as the first ones who got
there, were Deputy Sheriff King aud
Captain OF Police S. Kalama, aud
on their arrival the fire was pretty

pane stricken aud parents came all
the way from Hama and other parts
to Maunaolu as soon as the news
was spread, and those whose par
ents are not here slept with the
teachers in the Pokela Church and
will be we'll cared. The school, as
rumored, will he rebuilded by Maui's
patron, Hon. Fl. p. Baldwin, and the
utmost facility will be made 50 as to
get it ready within three months.
