Sorry He Spoke.

It was once the fortune of man who was ugly both in temper and in features to sit opposite to Douglas Jerrold at dinner party. Whilst the cloth was being removed the latter managed to break a glass. His vis-a-yis, thinking to turn the laugh at him, at once said: What, already, Jerrold? Why I never break glass; T am surprised at that" Jeifold answered. You ought to wtAneyer you look ins one"

Mrs. oliphant. in short, though q tr1fie daring in her expenditure, is a good type of the open-handed working woman. There are at least two fa- nous English authoresses today who ilye-and entirely by their own exer- tions-like the wives of peers They have town and country mansions; they go to Italy, to Egypt, to Japan, when the fancy takes them; they drive ths most showy horses; they entertain like South African miliionaires. To think of them as mean is to imagine an i'm
 possibility. They earn large sums and they are at considerable pains to spend them as quickly and as joyously aa may be.

1t Is the same with actresses and singers. The princely hospitalities of a certain diva are world-famous. Your popular actress, as a rule, would like to have four hands with which tc throw her money about, and she does 1t, indeed, to such effect that a moh- ster benefit is usually got up toapHly her with the necessartes of life toward the close of her career. It is possible indeed that women in this connectio are somewhat akin to gamblers. they make money with ease-or, at al rate, with not too strenuous toil-th, are prone to spend it in the most to erably light-hearted fashion.

Expansion

A little boy from the slums had been taken for the first time out into the country, and was discovered sitting apart on a high bank and looking to- ward the hills, to which he was stranger One of the friends who had made the trip possible for him ap- preached. lnd quietly seated himself at the boys side. The boy turned a radiant face upon him and said: Teacher, is this purity thing ours? Ia this all in the United States?"

The Largest Bicycle.

The largest bicycle ever built was the product of an American concern, and was built for advertising purposes. The framework was made of six-inch tubing. The wheels had circumfer- ence of forty-fve feet, and were fitted with single-tube tires eighteen. inches in diameter. Half a dozen men could readily find room on the gigantic sad- de.

The woman who earns, on the othei hand, especially one who earns on 2 large scale, is more often than net open-handed to a fault. The case of 2 noyelist-the late Mrs. Oliphant--lS one in point. This courageous pen woman lived always on the fat of the land, travelled en princesse. sent her sons to Eton and to Oxford and prae- tleed all the amenities of life. Although a good Scotswoman, we are told by writer in Blackwood that she hated small ecohomics.' To travel expensive was her way She never would tray eI second-class. She had none of what she calls the faculty of economics in her. She stayed at the very best and most expensive hotels; she dressed in the richest of silks and satins."

High Price for straightness.

One of the difficult problems in prac- tical mechanics is to make straight edge" How difficult it is may be judged from an incident which oc- cured in the shops of J. A. Brashear, the astronomical instrument maker A customer asked MT. Brashear what would be the price of "a perfect straight-edge of glass thirty-six inches long Tt can't be made absolutely perfect, said MT. Brashear but it could probably be made with a limit of error amounting to only fraction of a wave-length of light" How much would that cost?" About forty thousand dollars!" It turned out that the customer wanted the straight-edge for scraper, and that an error of one sixty-fourth of an inch would have been insensible for his purpose.

 Pinch | z. Flowers.

A peculiar species of climbing plant from Brazil has lately been introduced in the. south of England, where 1t grows freely in the open air. It's flow CTS are provided with flat, horny plates, situated above the nectar cups in the center of the blossom, and which are called "pinehing- -bodies.o When an insect thrusts it's proboscis into the nectar, the plates pinch it fast, and on its departure the insect must either carry off the pollen masses of the flower. or leave it's proboscis behind. In the former case, the pollen is likely to reach and fertilize another flower; n the latter. the unfortunate insect, deprived of it's proboscis, dies. Some times the legs, as we'll as the noses, of insects are found sticking in the flow CTS. Only the bum blebee appears to be strong enough always to escape ampu- tation

Tremendous Power of cyclones.

Careful estimates of the force of a cyclone and the energy required to keep a full-1edged hurricane in active operation reveal the presence of a power that makes the mightiest efforts of man appear as nothing in compari- son. A force fully equal to 5000, 900 horse power was estimated as devei~ oped in West Indian cyclone. This Is about fifteen times the power that is ereatable by all means within the range of mans capabilities during the same time. Were steam, water, wind mills and the strength of all men and all animals combined they could not at ali approach the tremendous. force exerted by this terrible storm.

MADE TO BOARD
OF HEALTH.
Poi Makers Pollute Water-Rice Land
Going Into Taro-Success of the Ma
tive Taro Hui.

WAILUKU, September 9.-There is a
nuisance here of which much complaint
is made. Just opposite the railroad sta
ton, a Chinaman regularly washes his
ten or twelve or more dirty poi barrels
in the ditch, the water of which people
further down are obliged to drink. The
same Chnaman with several others
pour all their waste water from poi bar
rels, etc, right out into the middle of
the road.
Complain is also made that number
of Chinese and Japanese poi makers adj
ulterate their poi Some claim that
they use ammonia and other chemicals
to make the paai rise.
Taro is very high, and in consequence
a great deal of rice land is going into
taro. The native hui which has been
formed to cultivate taro on an extern
sive scale is reported to be meeting with
much success. Considerable land has
been secured, and large orders for taro
to be raised and delivered during the
next five years have been taken. These
orders are largely for taro to be made
into tarO flour.
