In this country in the field of insult, one IS reminded the story of case in which a man was summon ed for calling his neighbor 'Schweine- hund,' Ca pig dog. ) The magistrate ruled that such an animal did not exist, and therefore the term could not be de- scribed as an insult" ITO call man pig or dog would be an insult, but to say that he was a pig-dog was inof- fensive." The irritated plaintiff made his bow, adding, "Very well, MT. Judge, good morning. You are a Schweine- hund!' There was commotion in court, but the magistrate could not go back on his definition of the term. In general 1t is advisable not to use epithets in this country when excited to anger.

Ross declares, is essentially the same as that of the schools for white children In the matter of government places MT. Ross gives some interesting data, not hitherto generally known. He says there are in the District govern ment employ, as officials, clerks and messengers, fifty colored people, who receive annually in salaries $2S,000. For years the Collector of Taxes for the District was a colored man. On the District police force, employed as de- tectives, roundsmen, and in other ca pacities, are forty colored men, who draw $31 400 year in salaries. In the public school system there are over 800
 
 colored men and women employed as teachers, supervising principals, and janitors, whose yearly pay amounts to S290, ,OO0. Adding to the foregoing fig- ures the number employed in the hospi tals and charitable institutions, and in the street, water, and sewer depart ments, it appears that there are em- ployed under the District government 2,60O colored men and women, drawing annually in compensation a total of nearly $1,000,000.

pat,icoats with Jersey Tops.

A skirt pleated all around from belt to hem is not simple garment to make as it should be made, but the fashion for pleats doesn't let the dressmaker~off so easy as that. All manner of devel- opments are appearing to complicate the skirts by calling for both pleated and plain surfaces. An underskirt pleated all around topped by plain overskirt isn't so bad to manage, and its very stylish, but getting the right fit and hang to pleated panels or backs is not simple task. Nor will it do to accept such a skirt unless 1t seems perfect for defects will become more apparent with every wearing the skirt has. That makes all the more desir-

fl PROPHET,

It is recalled that five years ago, be- fore this country had begun it's latest expansion, Senator Hoar in the course of an oration which he made on Fore fathers day at Plymouth, Massachu- setts, said: "The tree our fathers set covered at first a little space by the seaside. It has planted it's banyan branches in the ground. 1t has spread along the lakes. It has giluled the gulf. It has spanned the Mississippi It has covered the prairie and the plain The sweep of it's lofty branches rises over the Rocky mountains and the Cascades and the Nevadas Its hardy growth shelters the frozen region of the Northwest. Its boughs hang over the Pacific. And in time-in good time fit will send it's roots beneath the waves and receive under its vast cano- py the islands of the sea-"
 Possibly Senator Hoar didn't mean by "the islands of the sea- the Philip pine Islands. He might have meant only the Sandwich Islands. And prob ably he didn't mean that we would be- come "inperialists." But whatever he meant his prediction has certainly been fulfilled, and he isn't as happy and as proud of his country as he was when he was prophesying at Plymouth.

able to fashionable women such skirts as that the artist has sketched. Only its front breadth waa plain. It was outlined with several rows of white silk cording, this and the scalloping being repeated on the bodice to mark the two as inseparable mates. In many such suits pleating occurs, too, above the belt but as the only object of such scheming is to prevent both portions from being Interchangeable, there was no need of 1t here.
 The fit of such skirts is just as exact as that of the sheath pattern, and any wrinkle in what is beneath them is likely to mar the looks of them. So jersey-top petticoats> are shown for them. The jersey weave extends near ly to the knees, and from there the skirt is hung with taffeta in a Spanish flounce topped by several frills. It is necessary that the frillng of taffeta should be considerable, for if the jer- sey be not properly weighted it will ride up and the intent of the device will be lost. There is belt and slight placket that is laced. The skirt is supposed to pull down over the hips and shape itself to fit, much as the jer- sey used to adapt itself to the torso The newest petticoats lace shut, be- cause hooks or buttons are so likely to betray themselves through the cloth of the skirt.

GALLANT NEW zEALANDERs.

When giving a wordpicture of such Peace, perfect Peace," it is hard to grasp the grim realities of war environ- ing 1t like an iron frame, but that it is here is shown by the experiences of the New Zealanders last Monday, who took a prominent part in reconnaissance made by General French. It was ar ranged that Major Lee and his men should ride near q certain kopje to draw the fire" of the enemy. Now, it was not specified what kind of fire" ," Shell-flre was what was intended, but the gallant Major thought rifle-fire was meant With a daring not to be equall- ed, he did as true soldier was train ed to do--obeyed orders first and dis cussed them afterwards. The New Zea- flanders followed him into sort of kloof and very soon the enemy made them selves known.
 A terrible fire was opened on both sides of them; they were hemmed in on three sides and stood a chance of being cut off. With indomitable courage they rode through that valley of death, and in a miraculous manner got out without a single casualty, though the tales of the men reveal how narrow had been their escapes. One man had his cigar cite cut in two as he held it between his lips. Another had his water bottle ventilated in a manner that guaranteed its admission into hospital for incur ables; bullet had gone through the hat of third; q fourth had the wallet on, his saddle scared, and so on all through the ranks And who is, Major Lee, who leads his men so calmly in hot place. It might be though that he is regular fire-eating swaehbuckler. But not so. Picture to yourself an elderly gentleman a regular paterfamilias of aldermanic proportions, not So sprightly in his

Simple, unaffected, he chuckled as he told me of the "hot corner they had got into, and how 1t all came about through the doubt existing in his mind as to whether shell-hre or rifie-tire was meant to be drawn" However, the reconnaissance was a thorough success General French was immensely pleased, and In recognition of the cool courage of his colonial troopers he published a complimentary order.--Arundel Cor respondence London Telegraph.

Sodium chloride. or common salt, contributes to the "fullness" of the beer, while ni- trates impart to it "chlorous' flavor. Moist malt which has been kept long in a warm place may cause rancid" beer lowkilned malt from thick husked bar ley gives a straw flavor, and an ex- cess of burnt malt will give bitter taste.

4 oHR1srIAN BUSINESS BUREA U


 The Christian Business Bureau of
 New York is getting some free adver-
 tising and it is well entitled to it. There are so many business bureaus in New
 York which are not wholly Christian that thoroughly Christian business bureau is much needed there, both for
 rebuke and an ensample. And if such
 bureau has been started there it
 should have all the free advertising it needs. This bureau will sell Bibles at
 reasonable rates. It announces: God
 willing, we will mail, postpaid, to any plain address received by us this month,
 with express or postal order -, pay
 able to our order, a new, gilt-edged Teachers Bible.' Having thus indicat-
 cd it's Christian quality it comes right down to business in the following: For -, one copy of best investment se- curities, giving clear directions how one may so invest $1 that it will gain $100, $100 so that it will gain $10,000, and $10,- 900 so that it will gain million dollars with persecution, but without peril to others or to his own soul. Deposite of Christians only, subject to call or for long-term investments, received"
 Deposits of Christians only" No bad, unholy money is wanted by the Christian Business Bureau. Nor does it want to do business with bad, unholy men. It appreciates the Christian quail ities of faith, patience, meekness and forgiveness in depositors. Moreover, it will only take money from those who offer it freely ''We work" it says, lon the principle of faith and absolute trust, in business as in religion. Just notice the lofty elevation of this, and compare it with the low, brutal and sor- did business methods which are so com mon nowadays. How superior it is to No trust" "C. o. D." and the other things that do not indicate faith and absolute trust.
 The Christian Business Bureau does not give the guarantees that are so readily given by some unchristian busi- ness bureaus. After quoting eleven pages of Bible texts and offering to take sums for investment ranging from a hundred dollars to ten thousand dol lars it says "But we do not wish any person to invest money, time, labor, real estate, life or fellowship in connection with this bureau who ie not prepared to follow Christ in that act to the loss of all things, and would be disappointed if he appears to all human view to lose all in so doing. Nevertheless, we believe | with all our hearts that God will con- tinue hereafter to make good all His l promises as He heretofore has done" Thie is decidedly neat, and is well cal culated to inspire the confidence which | the Christian Business Bureau needs in | it's business.
 Walk up, tumble up, anyway to get | up, and if you can't get up pass your | money up to the Christian Business Blu [ reau. And do not be disappointed if | you appear ''in all human view" to lose |

A Rational Danish Rat Exterminat- ing Society has been organized in Co., penhagen, which has built crematory for the rats it kills, it being found un- healthy to bury them. This activity has extended to the Danish provinces, and the Norwegian government has asked the Determination Society for infolma- tion and aid. In Paris the plague is traced to the sewers, whence the vermin have been driven by recent improve ments into the central markets and the houses near the Seine. Armies of rats so great as to defy attack are ravaging the food depots The suburbs, too, are threatened, and at Acheres plain over ten thousand rats were at one time en- gagged in devouring two acres of beet roots. The Danes have thus far been the most successful in meeting the dan ger, and Paris has also consulted them. The Pied Piper of the modern rat will probably hail from Copenhagen.

ALL QUIET ON kauai.

The labor difficulties with the Japan
ese of the Island of Kauai are over and
all of the Japanese on the various plan
tations have returned to their work
and are seemingly content with things
as they are.
Mkt Saito, the Japanese consul at
Honolulu, went over to Kauai last week
to consult with his countrymen and en-
deavor to set them right on the legal
points involved in the difficulties, but
he found on his arrival that all was
quiet and that there had been no seri-
Gus troubles with the Japanese for
some days. He will remain on Kauai
for some days and will visit all of the
plantations where Japanese are en-
ployed and talk with the laborers con-
corning their contracts and their obll-
cations to their employers.
The clause in the contracts of Japan
csc laborers whereby the plantation
managers agree to pay to the emigra
ton companies the sum of 50 or $3.50
per month out OF the wages of each
laborer went out of effect with the in
coming of American law, 1t is claimed.
and now 1t is reported the plantations
will pay the money to the Japanese or
retain it to be paid when the contracts
expire. as the laborer himself chooses.

The census is believed to be the most

NECESSITY
OF SESSION
Reasons for Summon
ing Legislature.
OPT MON OF W 0. SM| TIL
Speedy Action On Several Matters
Urged by Former Attorney
General.

1t has been a much debated ques-
ton among the politicians and states
men of the Islands whether or not it Is
advisable for Governor Dole to cal a
special session of the Legislature just
a, this juncture. There are many mat
tiers upon which legislative action is
necessary just at the present time, and
which are pointed out as sufficient in
themselves to justify the summoning
of a special session. Among these are
the arbitrament of claims Tor losses in
the sanitary fires in Honolulu and the
establishment of new fire limits in Chi
natown. These matters it is said, need
Legislative action at once, and to wait
until the next regular session OF the
Legislature might mean irrevocabie
loss to private parties and TO the people
at large.
W. O. Smith, eX-Attorney General Of
Hawaii, and one OF the most capable
and far-seeing statesmen in the Is ands,
was asked yesterday for statement
of his views on the question.
Re said
For the reasons already. discussed
would not the public favor a special ses-
sion of the Legislature, ii there was
assurance that the body to be elected
would be wise. and attend to necessary
business and adjourn? Does not the
real objection lie IN the fact of the fear
that unwise and undesirable men will
compose the new Legislature, and they
may do unwise things?
IF this is to be the result of a SIP cial
election, why will not the same result
follow the regular election to be held
in November, unless conditions are
changed?
"If the native Hawaiians are to fol-
low unsafe leaders and elect dangerous
men may it not be better for the com
munity OF these Islands to know this
before the time for the regular election,
which is to hold for two years? And
may it not be better for Congress to
know it?
ut is hard to believe that the natives
will be so foolish as some people seem
to think But the point is. may 1t not
be better for the result to be known be
fore the regular election?
IF the danger 10 be apprehended is
from the trial which the native Ha-
waiians are to make of Legislature
wholly Of their own, may 1t not be bet
ter for the experiment to be tried with
a Legislature to remain in power only
three months than with one to hold
for two years?
1--WE are confronted with a cooditior
and must face il. l believe in the end
the native Hawaiian vote will prove to
be conservative and comparatively safe.
But experiments will be made, and they
might as well be met.
1T Is a matter of regret that the
question as to whether or not special
session is to be held has not been set
tied ere this. IT has been pending for
six weeks. and at hest the time for pre-
pairing for registration and election was
very short.
