HAWAIrs cIvILIzING SPIRIT.

Some years ago a speaker at a local
celebration said that the civilizing in
fiuence of the white colony In Hawaii
which had redeemed the natives would
yet reach the yellow races. 1t was the
thought of the speaker that Asiatics
could not always live in the midst OF a
virile white civilization without catch
ing some of it's spirit; and that in the
long run they would furnish mission
aries to labor for political and social
regeneration among their own people. :
One might have supposed that the
Japanese would be first to realize this
expectation and to some unimportant
extent they have done so. 1t does not
take a little brown man long, who ar
rives here In a figured kimona and
straw sandals, to acquire cheap AM
erican suit, a red or lavender necktie.
hat and shoes, and to indulge in soda
water on a hot day. Further than that
~e cannot answer for the civilizing in
fiuence of Hawaii upon the Mikado's
subjects. But the more conservative
Chinese have made long stride. by
virtue of their surroundings, to reach
the goal set before them by Leung
Chi-tso, young political reformer who
in his earlier youth caught the spirit of
the English colony at Hongkong. He
found here a Chinese population which
had been weaned in a great degree
from the conservative traditions Of their
country: who believed in reform and in
|novations: who were ready, even, to
sacrifice their queues for the encour-
|agement OF racial progress. The num-
Der OF those who have accepted Leung
.Chi-tso's gospel is very great and they
'are ready. If the opportunity comes, to
'go to China and spread it there with
voice or sword. We hold that the new
movement is as complimentary to Ha-
wall as 1t Is to the young Hongkong
.reformer; for 1t was here that his fol-
bowers were prepared to receive him in
an appreciative spirit.
Much of this missionary work has
toeen unconsciously done. There was
NO such union of purpose and
effort on behalf of the Asiatics as
there was on behalf of the natives. The
yellow and brown sojourners here have
Efmply breathed I'm or assimilated liber-
al ideas. 1t Is strange to think that

Thirteen at Dinner.

Here is a nice, creepy story told by
the son of Sir John Millais, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser.
There was a dinner party at the Mil
lais house, and when all were seated
a lady tremuously observed that there
were thirteen at table. The painter
asked his son to dine in another room,
and he did so. When dinner was over,
no one seemed anxious to be the first
to rise, so Matthew Arnold, who was
one of the guests, suggested that he
and two stalwart undergraduates
should get up simultaneously. The
three men did so. Within year each
of them was dead-Arnold by heart
disease, one of the lads by suicide, the
other by drowning. But why did not
fate seize upon Mr.. Millais, who left
the table first, and by all the rules OF
superstition should have paid the for
felt with his life? Perhaps he was
spared because of his amiability in
leaving the table to please the worthy
goose who called attention to the risk
they were all running.

He said tho boy insisted upon being
one Of the crew OF the Black Cat.
"But it is certain that Torrevo lied.
for no one but Horizons nephew could
have written that letter."
"True. Stay! The first time tho boy
came to Black Cat Bay. Torrevo beat
him. This time he did not. 1t may
not be the same boy"
"It was the same boy. Torrevo is
no doubt playing deep game. l think
l can see through the whole thing. The
Black Cat happened to be near when
l threw the boy overheard, and picked
him up. He told Torrevo who he was,
and Torrevo agreed to help him. Of
course, knowing our power, Torrevo
would not dare do anything while that
power existed. 1t was agreed between
them to have the cub remain with Tor
revo till an opportunity arose to warn
Horton what was going on. This would
place Torrevo in the light OF being true
to Horton and the government, and II
we failed, he would not be punished.
He would be rewarded for his aid.
This is clear enough to me. 1t was a
put up job"
"But how could it be? Torrevo did
not suggest the boy to do the writing.
l did. l saw the tally of the last cargo.
The boy did it at Rio, suppose while
Torrevo was drunk"

THEIR OWN MIXTURES.
Smokers Who Have Tobacco Compound"
ed to Suit Their Tastes.

ed to Suit Their Tastes.
The young and inexperienced are
ever ready to smile incredulously at
the seasoned smoker who offers his
tobacco pouch with the remark, TRY
some of my own mixture" In some
cases my own mixture may really
be only the smokers own" in the
sense that he has paid for few
ounces of it, but in spite of the copy
righted and much-advertised special
mixtures in these latter days, 1t seems
from what one Of the most popular
downtown tobacconists says, that the
habit of buying ones own exclusive
mixture" is not so extinct as might
be supposed, says the New York Trib-
une. Here is list of the special
mixtures we make" says this author1-
ty, taking from a corner large card.
you see, there are about fifty of them
on this card Each mixture is noted
down, all the ingredients and the pro-
portions in which they are to be used,
and over each one is the name of the
customer who first ordered it. The
way Of it is that smoker makes his
experiments on different combinations
of tobacco until he hits upon some
thing which just suits him. Some
times he buys the ingredients and
mixes them himself, but people have
so much to do nowadays that more
often they tell us what they want and
we do the mixing. 1t takes weeks
sometimes for a customer to get to
just the thing he is aiming at, and,
Of course, it is all guesswork in the
meantime. But you might be surprised
to know how long a man will go on
using the same mixture, once he has
foand out what suits him. This first
maxine on the list does not belong to
tho mixture we have been making the
longest; it comes first because the
lisS is alphabetically arranged, but
that recipe has been standing here for
ten years to my knowledge. 1t was
first ordered by an Englishman; his
name still goes with it and he is still
using it, but scores of other people
also use it who have never heard OF
him. So, you see, it is possible for a
man to be using another mans par
ticplar mixture and go on using it for
yeass, thinking it his own exclusive
mixture all the time. The way some
of .hese mixtures gain popularity
shows that it isn't quite exactly true
that there are as many different tastes
as tongues, for sometimes what ex-
actly suits one man seems exactly to
suit hundred others. When we find
mixture becoming widely popular
we sometimes make it up in quantities,
but only rarely. And that, l suppose,
is how new mixtures get put on the
market"

PRINCESS AND SMUGGLER.
"Whisker Bills" Life Frightened by tho
Gentle Princess OF wales.

"Whisker Bill" is dead He was the
last notorious smuggler of the Isle OF
Wight, and for many years earned a.
living by fishing when contraband
running had ceased. Yet, in the days
of decadence he became the recipient
of aims while lying by the wayside at
Alum Bay. Says Pearson's Weekly III
telling the story: When in the prime
of life there was no finer or more fear
less man around our coasts than stall
wart smuggler Bill, but the hands
which in his escapades once grasped
the oar with grip of iron became
palsied and the erect figure as bent as
a bow. Times were rough indeed with
Whisker Bill, as the old desperate was
familiarly called at Freshwater, until,
on that occasion of royal visit, the
Princess of Wales, learning of the
former smuggler's career, addressed
him with many words of kindly cheer
and, graciously taking the poor old
mans hand, did not release it until she
had dropped sovereign into the with
cred palm So delighted was the vet
eran that, finding new life to his limbs,
he hobbled away to the village painter,
and, with a part of the money givon
him by the Princess, paid for the in
cident to be recorded on board for
future exhibition. Nor were his
hopes in vain, for visitors who read
of so gracious an example and interest
in the aged suppliant also gave little
of their store. Want was never again
known by Whisker Bill after the fair
Princess, daughter Of the sea kings.
had SO graciously recognized the de-
crepit old fellow, who, upon the waters,
had so oft evaded the Queens revenue,
thus proving that royal sympathy
counts not the frailties Of those who
have fallen in life's battle. To the day
of his death the once notorious SNUG
gler declared that the dark hours OF
his life had been frightened by the
gentle Princess OF Wales"
