REASSuRlNG ADvlCES.

The information relating to the Su-
gar Trust and the beet sugar interest
of the Mainland, and the attitude. to-
ward the Hawaiian Islands, OF these
great capitalistic and political forces.
goes to make up by far the most i'm
portant piece OF news that has reached
this country since the day that tidings
were brought Of the passage Of the
Congressional Joint Resolution of An
nexation. The statements certified by
men close to the Seats OF the Mighty
have greater significance than can be
realized by a cursory contemplation.
What has been the threat of a COM
mercial war that would leave wreck
and ruin and almost spoliatiop in its
wake Is transformed into the assur-
ance of permanent prosperity and a
continuation Of enterprise and activity
and development in these rich agri-
cultural acres for many years to come.
There is witnessed, II might be re-
remarked incidentally, the triumph OF
legitimate business effort that has
been clouded or menaced to an uncom-
Portable degree by the grave possible
ity of such terrible assault as can be
launched by but trust, powerful,
far-reaching and relentless. There
need no longer be harbored the rack
ing thought that success or failure in
the great industry of this mid-Pacific
producing center depends upon other
than the rational or natural chances of
the soil tiller and the manufacturer in
any line. Annexation branded every
thing here with governmental stabili-
ty A reinsurance, strong and bind
ing, and more than inspiring perma-
nent confidence is now furnished. Ha-
wall can bid farewell to the tremor
that is induced and superinduced by
the disquieting rumor of tariff tinker
ing at Washington. 1t is peculiarly
feiicitous that this news should come
upon the heels of the contamination
recently OF the plans establishing a
number OF new and certain sources of
labor supply for the cane fields Of the
Islands. That the great refinery and
sugar beet interests of the Mainland
should become openly friendly to the
sugar industry Of this country is, after
all, but logical outcome in the NOV
ing train of events. Hawaii, always
right, ever fair, constantly armed with
the friendship of leading publicists Of
the United States. has in the past been
able to avoid such disaster as has been
conjured in the great mill OF trade RI
valry. At times the saving has been
by the narrowest margin, but there
has always been manifest the ability
to cope with combinations Of the great
est strength and circumstances OF the
most discouraging character. 1t has
thus become evident to the whole OF
the world that the little country, with
an inherent element Of defensive
equipment, is entitled to the place 1t Is

imprisoned FOR three days, keeping
them entirely without food to make

with sticks, after which their eyelids
were raised and holes pricked through
them with needles. The screaming
victims were then dashed against the

If men wound you with injuries,
meet them with patience. Hasty words
rankle the wound, soft language dress
es It, forgiveness cures 1t, and oblivion
takes away the scar. 1t Is more noble
by silence to avoid an Injury than by
argument to overcome it.-Beaumont.

BARGAINS IN TOMBSTONES.
Advanced Methods in the Funeral
Business Adopted Near =
City Cemetery.

The approaches to all the cemeteries
about New York are lined with stone
yards, where headpieees may be had
on short notice and in a great variety
of styles to suit the varying tastes and
degrees of grief or sentiment on the
part of the survivors. Tombstones are
such cumbersome and heavy ware that
they are displayed at the very gates
of the graveyards for convenience In
making prompt deliveries. The de-
mand for them is reasonably steady,
and it would not strike the casual OBJ
server that there was much stimulation
to an eager competition in the business
of supplying them,
1t is the more surprising, therefore,
says the New York Sun, to come across
job lot of headstones at bargain
prices. Out in an eastern suburb of the
city on Long Island a wheeling tourist
came upon an odd spectacle of mark
down sale of tombstones the other day.
An goods were marked in plain figures
in the regular and much approved man
ner of the great department stores.
The prices were attractive and the man
ner of their exhibition was enough TO
tempt one to lay in a supply against
the time when in the course of nature
he might need something in this line.
Lettered in white paint were all
styles, shapes and sizes in granite mon
uments-plain. polished and ornate.
"This style. 500" "Nery fine at $4S:"
"A beauty, only S14.50," and Reduced
to $780," were some of the legends. The
stonecutter stood, like a hoorwalker.
among his wares, wearing an inviting
smile, while rival dealer across the
way looked on with scorn all over his
grimy face at the advanced business
methods of his neighbor.

French Romance Of To-Day.

People in England are constantly
complaining that French novels are not
what they were, says writer in the
Contemporary. And this is true; the
crop is slighter, and the quality has abb
ruptly varied "Ye cannot gather
grapes of thistles." few months ago
one of the first of French novelists told
me how impossible he found it to lose
himself in an imaginary world while
such ominous rumors fill the streets of
Paris. The intricate Chinese puzzle
of fashionable psychology seems, after
all, a trivial thing compared TO the ire
mendous issues of reality. And if The
author feels this. judge of the senti-
ments of the reader, The effect of the
affaire Dreyfus on literature has been
the sudden disappearance of the ro-
man-a-trois, the old provincial theme
of the married lady. her husband and
her lover After a brilliant renais-
sance. after occupying almost the whole
area of fiction. this theme has subsidized.
and if people read and writenovels still,
to i certain extent. these novels. or at
any rate, the best of them, have Who'll

WOOD EMITS SWEET TONES.
A south American Tree from which
the Natives Make In
strumentn

A Chicagoan recently returned from
a protracted visit to South America
relates that the Indians in Ecuador,
Peru and Bolivia make an excellent mu-
steal instrument out of the wood of
the hormaguilla,a tree that grows album
dainty in those countries. The instru-
ment is on the principle of the we'll
known xylophone, only that under
meath each piece they construct
sounding box of the same wood, varying
in size to the note TO be augmented
and sustained. Some of these instru-
as many as As tones. These large in
struments are played by four and five
operators. The tones are quite unlike
those of the Xylophone, as they are not
short and sharp, but are sustained by
the sounding boxes, SO that at short
distance they give the impression more
of an organ than even piano. Expert
operators play opera pieces and the
latest music upon the large instruments
with most remarkable effect. This in
strument is said to be very old one.
