The Government organ stats that
Mr.. Mott. Smith has notified MIR.
Dole to the effect that he viii re-.
sign his position as Minister oil
Foreign Affairs on the 18th OF June
and will not assume any Office under
the territoriali g verument. We
understand that Mr.. Mott-Smith
will leave for Europe immediately
after his resignation has been &C,
cepted. There are a number OF
people who wish to know whether
the Minister OF Foreign Affairs ia
attempting to snta 'wiy without

political claims of 1895. It's very
cheap TO saddle the solution OF that
trouble on the shoulde OF Mr..
Dol-:: but we think that Mr.. Mott
Smith, IL he has spark OF man
hood in him would have seen to the
settlement OF ve1ed and very an
noying question. The foreign po sers
pressing the claims will not te put
off, aud all Mr.. Smith can gain from
Washington is sharp rebuke. From
Hawaii he can only obtain total
eclipse politically speaking.

We want Young Hawaii, poor or
rich, to come to the front aud make
a mark for themselves. 1t is all
righ, to play ball or pull an oar, or
gain fame in a'hletic spor's, but it
il far better tn study the burning
questions OF, the day and to put a
hand 10 the wheel which some day
may turn the political future OF Ha-
waii. Their. is no siucari'y or earn
-stnrss among our young people.
Everything is a pleasant dream to
them aud they euj y their dolce far
nis,lfe. But remember that the day
will come when the hustler will he
here and gather in the shekels while
our boys aud girls are Ell oyiDg the
sweets Of youth in the mann-r of
tie butterflies. LIT the coming
election show the people who take
au interest in the Hawaiians that
the younger generations are not
asleep; that the services Of the old
men are no longer needed, and that
there is material among the boys OF
Hawaii from which honest legisla-
tors, wise statesmen aud earnest
citizens can be selected. PLAY less
and study more" should be the
motto OF every parent in dealing
with the youngsters. We hear about
honors gained by Hawaiian youths
in the great universities aud colleges
Of the East, and when we look into
the "honors" we find ouly references
to foot ball, baseball. golf, tennir,
boating, etc.

ANOTHER GLACIER FAKE
Wiudom Glacier Ts As Much Alive
 As Is Muir Glacier.

For week the huge masses of ice in the Taku inlet have-made it evident that something unusual had happened to one of the big glaciers, but the wild reports of the fishermen and Indians that glacier had slid bodily into the sea attracted little or no attention.
 The first authentic account of the ac- tual facts is now available, boats being able to get to the mouth of the Taku river again, though impeded by huge bergs and floating ice. The facts are sufficiently sensational without. fiction,
 The Windom glacier comes into Taku inlet from the west. It has long since been dead, and its terminal moraine, a huge crescent shaped bar, is overgrown with big timber. The glacier itself lies on the slope of the mountain and was drained by several small streams. In some manner the subglacial outlet must have been damned, possible by ice masses falling last fall during the earth quake. At any rate the flow of water
 
 beneath the glacier was checked back up the mountain side until its tremen dous pressure was such that 1t burst the solid ice wall at the south end of the glacier, and cutting through the moraine, carved for itselfa new channel 300 feet wide to the water.
 A quarter of a mile of the glacial front was carried away for a width of POO to 300 and probable 500 feet in-depth.
 AS a result tide water again reached the ice, and the Windom is alive again. Trees at least 100 years old grow on the moralne. 80 that it Is reasonable to suppose that for fifty years or more the ice mass has been receding. It is a strange recsudescence.

The Goethe Society, of Vienna, has
just discovered the real story that lies
back of Goethe's beautiful creation of
"Mignon," which has passed into so
many songs and even into an opera.
This story runs that in 1894 an Ital-
ian equilibrist, named Caratta, went
to Goettinger with his troupe. In his
company was a child, evidently of good
family who took her part with marked
reluctance. The report soon spread
that the child had been kidnapped by
Caratta, but he fed, and escaped all
inquiry.
The fate of the eleven-year Pc
tronella, as she was called, caused a
great sensation in Goettingen. Young
poets of the town wrote on the theme,
and Daniel Schiebler, one of the uni
versity students, collected these poems
into volume. Soon after Schiebler
went to Leipsic, where he was thrown
much with Goethe, and told him the
sad tale of little P0tronella. A decade
later this Petronella became one OF
the most charming of poetic creations.

Chinese relegraphy.

In an interesting article published
in the Electrical World and Engineer,
Professor Francis B. Crocker tells of
the curious methods of the Chinese in
sending telegraphic messages and of
the serious opposition of the natives
in many parts of the Empire to the
modern convenience.
So opposed to innovations are the
natives in some districts that they
cut the wires and chopped down the
poles. AS they have discovered, how
ever, that the poles can be used for
fuel and the copper wire is valuable,
their active antagonism may not be
wholly due to fanaticism.
But the most curious part of the
Chinaman's connection with telegraphy
is his method of sending messages. As
the Chinese language has no alpha
bet, but in its written form is COM
posed of an infinite number of SYM
bols, each of which represent word,
it can be seen that an extensive code
is necessary. This difficulty was en-
compassed by means of numbers, as
Professor Crocker explains.

A Charming Waist.

Mauve drap d'ete, velvet of darker
shade, white corded taffeta and irregu-
lar insertion are stylishly united in
the charming waist illustrated in the
large engraving. The pretty bodice
decoration of velvet is finished separ-
ately and applied over the completed
waist. 1t may be used as an access
sorry, for other waists may be worn
with low pompadour neck and short
sleeves for evening dress. The full
fronts are supported by fitted Innings
that close in center back, the square
yoke of corded OF tucked taifeta being
applied over the lining. The collar is
of taffeta to match the yoke facing.
The two-seamed sleeves have becom-
ing fulness at the top and are ar
ranged over fitted Innings, the wrists
being decorated with bands of velvet
and insertion to match the bretelles.
The mode presents opportunity for the
introduction of three contrasting ma
terials, which is ofttimes desirable
when remodeling misses waists. The
bretelles may be of some material dec
grated with braid, ribbon or passemen-
terie, the yoke and collar facing being
all-over lace underlaid with satin in
white or some becoming color.
To make this waist for miss four
teen years of age will require one and
one-half yards of material forty-four
inches wide.

Fight Between CaInels.

Two camels were brought into the
grounds at the back of the palace and
made to face each other. They were
male animals, whose vicious tenden-
cies had made it necessary for them
to be kept from the rest of the cattle
and who had been carefully fed in the
chieftain's fighting stock as being
especially powerful animals.
At a signal from the prince the
creatures were let loose and shambled
toward each other. At first they mere
ly feinted and skirmished about in
clumsy fashion. their long, awkward
legs an irresistibly ludicrous sight.
Presently they began to foam at the
mouth, their faces became contorted
with fury, and sort of fencing match
took place.
Their heads darted from side to
side, and they strove to seize each
other with their teeth. They groaned
and roared furiously, and the specta-
tors were soon worked up to a high
pitch of excitement.
Atlength one camel seized his enemy
by the leg, while the other, a large,
long-haired animal, retaliated by laying
hold of his opponents ear. Blood
flowed freely, and opinion was divided
as to which camel would be the vic-
tor.
AT last the long-haired camel, whose
grip on his adversary's ear was not
very firm, suddenly let go, but the
other continued to hold on to his an
tagonist's leg and even to drag him
about, roaring with pain.
The prince eventually gave the or
der to separate the combatants, but it
required the efforts of nearly dozen
men with ropes, chains and cudgels to
put an end to the affray. Even then
the wound on the leg of the van
quished camel was so serious that l
believe the poor creature was crippled
for months. London Globe.

Lisle Thread Gloves,

Thread gloves, having for years
been the Joy of the simple and SEN
sible, have recently been taken up
with rush by the fashionable and
rather freakish element. This is
chiefly because with their capital
suede Isle gloves the manufacturers
have achieved cotton hand covering
that fits exactly and smartly. Thread
gloves in a variety of soft tones are
very preferable to silk, and women
with pretty, plump hands and arms
wear elbow sleeved muslins in the
afternoon with flesh, pink or lilac
suede Isle gloves reaching to the
crook of the arm and end of the
sleeve. One potent argument in
favor of these hand covering is that
not only are they cool, perfect protec-
tors against sunburn, but they wash
just like Isle thread stockings.
