HIRED GIRLS PROGRESS.
Fable Showing Wisdom of silence
Concerning Some Things.

Concerning Some Things.
Once upon a time there came into the
city from the country girl. The girl
wandered from her happy home to Sc
cure employment among the wealthy
families of the city, and when she
made known the fact that she was
willing to work many persons sought
her and implored her to engage with
them in domestic pursuits. The girl
was overwhelmed with offers. but final
" made a selection and settled in
family that valued her services very
highly. The girl was happy until one
day her employer met a neighDOr,
very dear friend, and told her of her
good fortune in finding the country
girl And this neighbor met another
very dear friend and told her of her
other friends good luck. and thus did
1t become generally known that there
was good hired girl in the neigh
borhood.
And from shat time on the mistress
and the girl were unhappy until one
day the very dear friend gave the girl
$50 more a week than she was earn
Ing in her first place, and in this man.
ncr did the girl become happy again,
while her mistress and the very dear
friend ceased to be on speaking terms.
And then the girl became unhappy
again until the other very dear friend
engaged her at an advance or 81, and
the other dear friend and the first dear
friend ceased to talk over the back
fence And then the good girl wore
fine dresses and fine hats, and one day
a dashing young man led her to the
altar, and now the three friends and
the poor country girl are all very
happy.

The Advertiser claims that the
journals referred to have "misled
the natives of these Islands for

When the organ talks about mis-
leading the Hawaiians it simply
means that the truth should not be
told to the natives aud that the
Dole clique has a monopoly on
"misleading." 1t won't work, how

in those who show the inter est in

them about their aloha and love
while throwing them down, socially,

were raised in the breasts OF the
leading" Hawaiians-more or less,
colonels-when ia the middle of one
night they were summoned to the
Hotel, and a meeting held with a
representative of Mr.. Blount, the re-
suits of which thu energetic Chroni-

Homo Life in Porto Rico.

To one unaccustorned to tropical condi-
tons, the furnishing of the Porto Rican
home would at first sight seem meagre,
but it is quite ample. \ short residence
will demonstrate that nearly 500 years OF
experience with the unpleasant features OF
life in the West Indies have been crowned
by u survival OF the lttest in house-fur-
nishing as in other matters.
Austrian brentwood furniture and also
wicker-work and willow-ware, constitute
the main equipment of the parlors and
living rooms. Upholstered furniture is IN
known and undesired, little or no attempt
being made at decoration except in the
matter of embroidery and fine hand
made lace work. Hundreds Of yards OF
crochet work are used in the establishment
OF a single canopied bed. This work is the
chief delight of the Porto Rican house
wife.
The walls are for the most part bare.
but here and there a painting OF merit
may be seen. The sofa pillow is the one
great feature of the home; it is every
where, in every conceivable size, shape
and ma terial. Ferns of gigantic size and
exquisite forma ton, as we'll as broad
spreading palm leaves, are used to festoon
the walls and arched doorways. Cut fresh
from day to day, they render the dark.
cool rooms inviting and attractive. Potted
tropical plants in great variety abound
within and without the house--Harper s
