We are glad to note the evidence of
a chastened spirit in the Bishop Es-
tate. The trustees Of the property are
filling up their submerged land at Ka-
kaako and causing old shacks to be
burned. They have also denied leases
of property which might become in
sanitary to people who wanted the
land to live on. This is moving in the
right way, and may be accepted as a
cheerful augury Of the time when the
Bishop Estate will be a property upon
which the sanitary authorities will
have no reason to look with disfavor.

A British local contemporary says
that Englishmen will lose no sleep
o. nights over the predictions of disas-
ter made by German and Russian spe-
cialists. The trouble with our British
cOuslnsl a. the Beeregar shows. is that
they have slept too much and too long
while their army and perhaps their
navy were going from bad to worse.
The awakening has been rude, and it
will be their own fault IL Britons go
back to their slumbers. 1t is no light
thing even for Great Britain to face the
hostility of all Europe with It's mil
lions of drilled men and its superior
naval strength. The wise Briton will
cultivate insomnia until he gets in a
position either to divide his national
enemies or to placate or resist them.

pREDESTlNATED.

Hot always mid the toiling and the striving
Does solitary effort claim remark,
Not often in the fevered rush Of living
Do single sparklets flash from out the dark,
Yet now and then some sweet, refined existence
Shines, slhouetted, 'gainst dull, cold sky
And shows us, with pow'r beyond resistance,
That it is purposeful and cannot die.
For even when the golden bowl is broken,
And when the silver cord is loosed fc- aye,
We hold the words that helpful lips have spoken
To guide gently on our rugged way.
God takes the harvest, man is left the cleaning,
And, to mistrusting ones, the Spirit saith
'There is no Life without its perfect meaning,
There is chance in that which men call
DEATH
Sweet lives pass on; the world may never mind
them,
And souls, though bright, may shed no dazzling
ray,
But God will know exactly where to find them
When he makes up his jewels in his day.
Bring, thea. o hearts, the first fruits Of your
TREASURED
Yield up your living, trust your sacred dead.
Weigh not the cost, for he who holds the measure
Will smooth and straighten ev'ry tangled>thread.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incumh'e.
For great many years doctors pr-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to bea constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken inter-
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They sffer one hundred dollars for any
case 1t fails to c1re. Send for circulars
and testimonials.

Glad.tone,. Pecullar Eye..

: There is an anecdote in Blackwood's
Of Gladstone and Professor 5Blackie
which confirms the story of the states
mans eaglelike eyes. At dinner the
two men were opposite, and when
Gladstone gave in a forcible way his
idea that Homer was no longer recited
but chanted, the professor cried out,
"Mr. Gladstone, don't believe a word
Of itw Then he rose to argue the mat
ter and said one sentence, but got no
further He had met Gladstone's gaze
and seen his outer eyelids widened to
their fullness in steady glare, and his
tongue stumbled and he sank back into
his chair In confusion. The writer con-
cludes:
"Go to the zoo for it. Take your
umbrella. Make your way to the place
where the eagles, vultures, falcons and
such like creatures blink on their
perches. Select a bird. Stare at him
with insult, and you will see the outer
lids expand as Mr.. Gladstone's did.
Poke at him with your umbrella. The
filmy vertical lids through which he
looks at the sun and opens to paralyze
his prey will part, and then you will
see what Blackie saw and understand
his feelings"

Not the Advice Expected.

After spending more than a quarter
of a century in active business life In
the city a certain merchant purchased
a ranch which he considers to be ad-
mirably adapted for dairy farming.
Having had no practical training In
agricultural pursuits, he is dependent
for his knowledge Of the art upon
those books which purport to tell the ur-
ban bred how to do the trick. He desires
to learn all he can concerning dairying
and for advice betook himself to his
friend and pastor, Rev. DR.. Stebbins,
in whose omniscience and wide read
ing he has absolute confidence.

milk, doctorY he asked the venerable
man of God.

We came across a man recently who
was looking for and paying extra prices
for hogs which had had the cholera and
recovered from it; he wanted such hogs
as breeding stock, having the belief
that the progeny of such parents would
thus be rendered immune from attacks
Of the disease. This theory was quite
generally believed in some years ago.
but events have proven that it hae
nothing to support 1T, the progeny Of
such parents being just as liable to take
this disease as any pigs not so bred
