1t is not the sore place that should
be hit in administering reproof, but
the wrong deed. For the reproof that
causes wincing is more likely to pro-
woke anger than amendment. Lord
Palmerston, while minister OF foreign
affairs, had a good-natured way of CIV
ing reproofs when he did not mean to
be severe Put little more starch
into your neckcloth, my dear Dash.

The graphic story of the suceor OF
q starving soldier at Indianapolis has
an economic as well as philanthroplc
interest. The soldier, it seems. was
found in a fainting condition before
the house OF Gov. Mount. He was car

ernor was entertaining some friends.
His Immediate bodily needs were re-
lieved, and the governor sent out

business with more neatness and dis

An Experiment In s.lf.aov.rnm.p,

Self-government in a Milwaukee
school has proved a failure, and the pu-
pills OF the Twenty-first ward have
gone back to the old system of ''im-
perialism." Principal OHanlon some
time ago introduced a system of self
government in the school, under which
the pupils elected officers and police
force. The scheme worked well and
the lesson was taught that offenders
brought trouble and annoyance to the
entire population of the school room.
But some of the parents objected.
They claimed that 1t was teaching the
children to become "tell-tales' and to
spy upon each other. Then School Di-
rector Fahsel Issued an order compell-
ing Principal O'Hanlon to again as
sumo the reins ofsgoyernment.

SOME COMPARISONS.

The condition of the laborer upon the
Hawaiian plantations, when compared
with the condition of similar class in
other parts of the world, is by no means
the miserable status which it is misrep-
resented to be. Moreover, there is al
ways hope for the laborer. At the end
of his contract service he is a more use
full man then he was when he comes
green to work, and he can reengage at
an advance in wages. If he is an active,
sober and energetic man, he can rise to
better positions on the estate. Not all
rise so, any more than all soldiers be-
come generals, or all printers foremen,
or all sailors captains, or all merchants
clerks capitalists. These Islands, how
ever, show that meE beginning life as
mere laborers on the plantations have
advanced to high and lucrative posi-
lions. 1t would be wrong to mention
names, but those who know the Islands
can place their hands upon at least two
managers, who started between the
stills Of plough and many other lab
nrers who have reached comfortable in
comes. But these are, of course, ex-

GUAMs LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

The United States Government or the
agricultural bureau is taking a lively
interest in Guam. Various seeds and
plants were forwarded when Governor
OLeary started upon his voyage. The
Brutus which is to proceed thither from
this port, carrying Lieutenant Governor
Stafford, has on board some choice cat
tie, and large collection of seeds and
other things. Guam is evidently going
to be the pet tropic garden, where ex-
periments in agriculture can be carri I'd
on.
In the appointment of Lieutenant
Stafford as lieutenant governor the ad-
ministration has the services of a
trained scientific man, who will not only
do all that he can to aid Governor
O'Leary in his efforts to materially de-
Velop the island, but who will make a
thorough study of it's fauna, it's vegeta-
ton and it's meteorological phenomena.
There is probably no man in the navy
so well equipped mentally for under
taking such work. Lieutenant Stafford
has been an observer all his life, has
made some notable collections and has
standing among men of science.

There seems every chance that the
1899 lava flow will follow in the path of
its predecessors which have burst out
within a few miles of the same spot
and that it may go on for months. Last
accounts of it are dated July 15 1t
started on July A, it had therefore been
running eleven days. During that time
ii is estimated that it has run some
twelve or fourteen miles. The distance
from the source of the flow to Hilo is
about fifty miles. Former flows have,
after entering the woods, not exceeded
half mile day, in their progress, and
sometimes not as much. But calculat-
ing that the lava has thirty-six miles
to CO. and that it goes at the rate of
half mile day, it will be seventy two
days before it reaches the vicinity of
Hilo. 1t may, however cease flowing
at any moment 1t is to be noted that
this flow has been unaccompanied by
any strong earthquake shocks. The
place where the lava found it's exit,
must have been weak, and have not re-
quired any great force to burst through,
as was the case in 1868 and 1887.

columbian tea on the lawn was the
entertainment which a suburban mother de-

New York Post A lawn tent was gayiy

lemonade and cake were served by TWO
or three of the older girls dressed IN white
gowns plentifully trimmed with red. white
and blue. A May-pole was hung with the
national colors, and the children, VINO mad

piazza of the house, which was lavishly

gathered at tea the strains of a hand or
gan were heard, and to their delight there
was seen approaching across the lawn an
organ grinder dressed as Uncle Sam. his
hand organ hung with flags and a little
monkey perched upon it. The monkey car
ried a little ~pouch-bag, which was filled
with tiny flags, and these he distributed,
guided by the instructions Of the man, to
every child present, the organ playing two
or three patriotic airs. Some simple fire
works concluded the little fete. The same
entertainment can be carried out in a much
more elaborate way, If desired, or may be
managed with even greater simplicity. The
Fourth is apt to be a long day for children,
as 1t usually begins with them very early
in the morning, and some little entertain
ment that is no too fatiguing is desirable
for the afternoon. A simple menu for an
al-fresco meal of this sort consists Of little
sandwiches cut In fancy forms (any of the
numerous filings being used with the
bread), and cups Of chocolate with whipped
cream. Bouillon is often included In menus
suggested for children, but IL has been
found by many hostesses that few children
are fond of bouillon. Little biscuits, fresh
but not warm. and platters of sliced cold
chicken or lamb, may be substituted for the
sandwiches. Milk served in little punch
glasses is usually welcomed by children,
when a larger tumbler Of the beverage
would be refused. Jelly of lemon, orange
or other fruit. served in fancy cases or in
is always enjoyed, and fancy cakes, ices
and bonbons satisfy the craving for sweets.
Pretty decorations, with plenty of effective
color, and everything served in miniature,
are things hat delight children of six to
fourteen years Of age.

The UpIifted Feminine Voice.

Philadelphia Times.
Those present at the recent meetings Of
the Council Of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs were impressed through the
exhibition of wisdom which dignifed and
wit which enlivened the deliberations, with
the conviction that along with a knowl-
edge of parliamentary procedure and other
qualifications which have been gained
through the experiences of club life women
have learned to speak in public, and to speak
well.
The multiplication of womer's organiza-
tons for purposes intellectual, social and
philanthropic has done much to discover

portunitieS, and the individual woman has
been inspired 10 dig up her buried talent and

The ability to speak from the public plat
form is in a considerable degree the re-
suit OF the practice acquired from the
floor Of the woman's club. Enlarged OPP
portunities for higher education have also
widened fields of activity and the inva-
sion Of professions and occupations for

serves have come self-reliance, the knowl-
edge or personal ability and the desire for
personal Improvement. Woman Is no longer

drama OF existence and her voice Is being
heard with more positive accent than ever
before in the discussion OF vital questions OF
life.
