year have so many light grays and tan
cloths been made up. Indeed, all the
styles of dress this year are on most
elaborate and expensive scale, and it
requires considerable thought and in

latest fashion dictates. Fortunately
there are good many styles in every
sort of gown, whether for street or

A Coca Chewer.

One of the scientific explorers who
has been working in the coca region
of Bolivia, told me Of his experience
with coca chewer. ga man was en-
ployed by me-" he said, sin very la
borious digging. During the five
days and nights he was in my service
he never tasted food and took only two
hours sleep each night, but at inter
walls of two hours and half or three
hours he repeatedly chewed about
half an ounce of coca leaves and kept
an 'acullico' continually in his mouth.
I was constantly beside him, and there
fore had the opportunity of closely
observing him. The work for which
I had engaged him being finished, he
accompanied me on a two days jour.
ney across the level ground. Though
on foot. he kept the pace of my mule
and halted only for the chaccar (chew-
ing). On leaving me he declared that
he would willingly engage himself
again for the same amount of work
and that he would go through it with
out food if 1 would but allow him
sufficient supply of coca. The village
priest assured me that this man was
sixty-two years of age and that he had
never known him to be ill in his life."

York very far forward of the face.
The new style of arranging the
coiffure which brings it high up in the
back means that the hat shall be worn
over full roll in front, not pompa-
dour, but soft arrangement in which
the hair extends very widely at the
sides. The hat itself extends far over
the face, that is not down, but up
ward at least from three to four inches
beyond the lines of the face, that is to
say the new pointed, round hats,
toques and other styles which are
being shown.
The turbap must be poised suffi-
ciently high, and though the hair is
being parted and worn apparently
softer, there is no squat or fiat
tendency permitted. The forward
inclination of the hat gives rakish
and peculiar, but graceful turn to the
entire appearance when not pushed
too far. The entire outlines of dress
have an alternating effect. The idea
is to make the woman appear taller,

Honolulu's Many Institutions.

As town Honolulu is peculiar ir
its numerous charities, schools, in.
stitutions and churches, in which,
among towns of equal population, it
would be hard to find its equal. II
has never forgotten its missionary
origin, and, besides its local missions
to the Chinese and Japanese, main.
tains missions of its own in the Orient.
Many of the local establishments are
due to the generosity of the old
Hawaiian nobility, and will preserve
their memories in respect when their
frailties are forgotten. The houses
are for the most part plain, suited to
the climate, without cellars or chin
neys, but with generous verandas. It
is not place where the housewife
will take much comfort. Notwith-
standing the fertility of the soil when
irrigated, fruit, vegetables-in fact,
all local products-are surprisingly
high; meats are very poor, and the
cost of imported articles is of course
not low. With intelligence and
garden much can be done, but the
town-dweller' lot here is difficult.
The servants are chiefly Orientals.
Unfortunately, the hotels and restau-
rants are worry inferior, and the So
journer must put up with poor food
and service, at prices which at first
seem quite unreasonable. American
enterprise will soon remedy the worst
of these annoyances, and the self-in-
terest of the local population will in
time take care of the rest.-Corre-
spondence in New York Post.

Waists Wonderful in Cut.

Truly wonderful are the designs,
both of fabric and cut, of the new
evening waists which made their first
appearance at the Horse Show. Two
of the most notable examples are
shown in the large engraving. AL
though much of the material from
which they are made comes from the
factories of the old world and some Of
the garments fashioned are upon
French models, yet there are many
exceedingly handsome ones made
here.
As modish as any are those made of
satin, but not of a heavy variety, aud
thus the fulness of waist is allowed
to fit gracefully on the figure. This
is tucked, straight, in squares, in
diamonds, or hemstitched and drawn.
One of the new embroidered styles
is made in white mauve and cream.
The embroidery is open and loose,
and through it is shown lining of
cloth of gold. The style of this waist
is really blouse, but is open at the
front and filled in with knots of nous
seine de sole or chiffon. The collars
are bands of crushed silk, and the re-
markable little jeweled buttons which
shine through the filmy ruches of
chiffon which edge call things" add
not a little to the general effect.
Mauve and other delicate shades of
lilac are much used.
Into these waists are inserted yokes
or vests, often collars of plain con-
trasting shade or white, with Persian

THE LAZARUS OF EMPIRE.

NV. wilfred Campbell has a poem in the
which strikes q curious Motel
The CeK, ne is proud in his protest,
The Scot he Is calm In his place.
For each has word In the ruling and
doom
OF the empire that honors his race;
And the Englishman, dogged and grim.
Looks the world in the face as he goes,
And he holds proud lip, for he sails his
own ship,
And he cares not for rivals nor foes;
But lowest aud last, with his areas vast,
And horizon so serviie and tame,
Sits the poorsDeggar Colonial
Who feeds on the crumbs OF her fame.
He knows no place In her councils.
He holds no part In the word
That girdles the world with Its thunders
When the 6at OF Britain Is heard;
He boats no drums to her battles,
He gives no triumph her name,
But lowest and last, with his areas vast,
He feeds on the crumbs OF her fame.
How long, o how long, the dishonor,
The servile and suppliant place?
Are We Britons who batten upon her,
Or degenerate sons OF the racer
It Is souls that make nations, not numbers,
As our forsfathers proved In the past,
Let US take up the burden OF empire,
Or nail our own flag to the mast,
Does she care for us, value US, want US,
Or are we but pawns In the game;
Who're lowest and last, with our areas vast,
We feed on the crumbs Of her fame?
