RIFLED TRUNK FOUND.

Employees of the Honolulu Iron
Works soon after noon yesterday found
a trunk hidden among lumber and piles
makai of Queen street, opposite the
burnt district. The lock had been bro
ken and the trunk rifed of all its con-
tents except some trifles. But inside
the lid under a tape were found two
bills of exchange drawn by Spreckels
d Company's bank. One was dated
November 23, 1899, for $50 payable to
Kwan Tong Chong. The other was
dated July 3, 1899, for $35 payable to
Coon Tong Chong. 1t is believed that
the trunk was taken out of the burned
district during the fire Saturday, but
how it was gotten through the guards
is the puzzle.

ORIGIN OF THE BICYCLE.

The evolution of the bicycle as it now
is, is Of a comparatively recent date. 1t
appears that the earliest records of it
are found about the year 1918, when an
ingenious coach-builder brought out a
twO-wheeled machine which was pro-
PEELED by the feet of the rider. This
was called a hobby-hOrse. Some of the
caricatures of that period dipict the
young men riding these hobby horses.
from which they most likely extracted
as much amusement as our modern
scorchers do from their "swifts" and
"safeties" Riding a hobby horse was
quite a craze amongst the youths of the
early part of the century; but their
sisters and cousins mot mention their
aunts) do not seem to have initiated

There had been some difficulty in get
ting guards on the part of the Citizens
Committee, and Marshal Brown was
called in. That official said he did not
understand he was to supply guards

The suggestion Of the Marshal that a
sufficient number of guards, with a
wagon, be kept at the Board of Health
office ready for service at any time
was adopted.

SPREAD OF ENGLISH.
In All 127OOO,OOO Claim it as Mother
Tongue.

English as the modicum of converse
has made rapid progress throughout
the civilized countries of the world
during the century, the last year Of
which has just started. On this
head a few statistical facts taken from
the Journal of Commerce may prove
instructive, it says: when the cen
Utry began these people numbered only
1000, 900, or 100000 less than those
who spoke German, $4,000, 900 less than
those who spoke French and 100000
less even than those who spoke Span
ish. AS the century draws to it's close,
the people who speak English as their
mothertongue number 12I 900, 000-an
increase of All per cent and a greater
number than all the people who speak
French and German combined. At the
end of the last century there were in
these United States only 5000, 900 inha-
bitants; the census with which this one
viii terminate will hardly show less
than 75,000,000. In the same period the
population of the United Kingdom has
grown from 100000 to 1000, 900, and
the colonists of English race have in
creased from a few hundred thousand
to between 100000 and 100000. At
the beginning of the century the popu-
lation of the European continent was
170,000,00O. At it's close the total APP
proaches 343,000,000. Thus, while at the
end of the last century the English
speaking family was outnumbered by
the nations of continental Europe in
the proportion of to 1, it is outnum-
bered by them today in the proportion
of 81 to l only"

Boundaries of New York State.

New York's boundaries, though ap.
parently settled in 1776, have been
subject to critical examination from
time to.time by various Commissioners
and agents and have been re-examined
and established under authority OF
various Legislative enactments. An
act was passed by the Legislature,
May IS, 1876, directing the Commits
sioners to resume the work of ex-
animation of the true location of the
monuments which mark the several
boundaries of this State, as author
lied by. the Senate resolution of 1867,
and in connection with the authors
ties Of Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
respectively, to replace any monu-
ments which may have become dilapi-
dated or been removed, on the bound
ary lines of those States. A COM
mittee was appointed for this purpose
June !. 1875. In 1880 the New York
Commissioners met Commissioners
appointed by the States of Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey for the pur-
pose of aseertaining the boundary
lines as originally established and
marked with monuments. The Com
missioners were authorized to renew
any dilapidated or lost monuments
and to erect additional ones il deemed
necessary. Under the provisions of
this law the New Jersey boundary
line was completed rs recently as 1888
and the Pennsylvania line in 1885.

The Motto of the successful.

"Do it now," is the motto adopted
by q more than usually successful man
OF affairs, q man who. while he actu,
ally gives less time apparently tolsss-
ness, public or personal affairs than
many men I know, of q certainty does
accomplish more in every way, ssall
owing to my doing a thing the very
moment it is thought OF, that is, if It
is possible. II I should wait, o thou.
sand petty hindrances would arise,
and SO I take advantage Of things as
they come, whether it be to see a mar
on business, to look up an address, te
write a check. or to order my spring
suit. There is no time like the very
moment at hand for keeping even with
yourself. This is q bit Of philosophy
evolved from many years of the worka.
day. and my plan works like a charm
in circumventing the rush of things"

Among the inalienable rights Of

Professor David Starr Jordan, in ths

him pleasure. But the pursuit Of
happiness is an art in itself. To seek

failure in the pursuit Of happiness

THE LIVING VISION OF TIE GARDENS.

And have you left me like u dream that fading
Leaves sweet, uncertain memories behind2
And y are the s dssk wings Of the Twilight shading.
Oh, then, to Twilight be my souls upbraiding,
since meath ner wings no rosy rest l find;
Ava o the Night, whose darkness bans and bars
4l ia re the kgSwerless and Icy starsl
Bat now you stood with dewy, lifted lashes :
And saw the soul in Loves ungarded eyes;
But now, tumultuous as a torrent dashes,
! saw the red blood to the dimples rise!
Foi thought was Love, and as the lightning flashes
Ard sNlft-illumes the darkness of the akies,
So clshed Loves th~ought-beyond the hearts control
Fair face to face. and unveiled soul to soul.
Tonight the light from your dear windows streaming
Makes all the gurdens beautiful; tonight
Soft eyes with love beneath your glance are beaminR
And lips are fain to kiss your hand SO white.
But who without, in darkness there, is dreaming
Cast like q lost soul from the Gates Of Light?
The red thorns know him, for their spears are prest
Over the Wild heart In his wounded BREAST.
The red thorns know him-brow ehd breast enthrallng.
And yet the rose-leaves all theit anger veil.
Is not your heart with ~quickenea beat recalling
The crimson legend of the NsShtingale7
For song tells how, whom Twilight shades were falling,
It hymned Loves tender gft-repeated tale.
Where bloomed one wild aid wondrous rose apart,
Singing while sank the tsorn-spears in its heart!
Fair grace to you, o lady, of the lashes
That vainly veil the utterance OF your eyesl
The thorn lives %reddsning DER the roses ashes,
And song Is sweeter when tits set to sighs.
The bright light btther from your window flashes:
Mute is the music and the laughter dies.
Life Is not all In laughter and In light,
Fer WEAKNESS. must weep and wish Goodnight.
Beneath the mystery OF sun and dew.
