WEIGH
The island vessels got away yester-
day according to schedule and there
are few of them here now. The Mauna
Loa lies idle in the harbor.
Work was continued unloading the
Australia last night up to 1880.
The ship Invernesshire remains out
side the harbor for fumigation. There
is trouble among the crew, the men re-
fusing to work, but Captain Peattie
will take the vessel on and expects the
men to obey orders when they get far
enough out so that refusal will be mu-
tiny.
The British ship Aspice which en-
tered the harbor this morning came
here from Newcastle by way of the
Marquesas. She is a fine large vessel
carrying over 5000 tons of coal. In
making port she passed through the
channel between Hawaii and Maui, an
unusual route which Captain Bremner
took on account of the winds he en-
countered. The Aspice is anchored in
the stream, to await her turn for a
wharf.

of a boom in manufacturing which has
drawn thousands of the country people
to the larger towns and caused house
rents to advance 20 or 80 per cent.
Many of the manufacturers have IN
vested beyond their capital and are
in distress. Money is very scarce and
a crisis is threatened.
The cotton crop of this country
amounted to only 100000 pounds in
1898, last year it was about $780,
100000 pounds, representing three
fourths of the entire crop of the world
and valued at $35O,OO0,O00. 1t filled
9. 5000 900 bales, and the loss by waste
incidental to the process of taking
samples was not less than 100000.
Probably at no time since the civil
war have there been so few regular
soldiers stationed in the United States
as there are today. Of the 100000 Off
GERS and men constituting our present
army all but about $4,000 are serving
abroad, mostly in the Philippines.
Sunday laws are strictly enforced in
Honolulu. Not only are all saloons
and bars kept tightly closed and stores
forbidden to sell, but any one who at
tempts to play ball or indulge in any
other sport on Sunday is carried be-
fore a magistrate to pay fine or go
to Jail.

Woman's Wasted Strength.

single walk down any fashionable
avenue in any large city on pleasant

ten dollars worth of strength which
she has to spend every day (and she
may be sure that it is fixed amount

The Girl That i Didn't Get.

yee that is her picture, standing there
The one with the full round race
And the laughing mouth and the loose
short hair,
And the brooch at her throat and the
lace.
7 know it is foolish to keep it there so
To nourish the old regret;
But I should hate sadly to have her go
The girl that l didn't get.
7 nut it away at first, know,
In it's leather frame and case;
And thought could cherish my anger
and grow
To forget her name and her face.
Rut 7 found it was something couldn'
could only fume and fret,
Till my anger cooled and got blue,
For the girl that l couldn't get.
For | missed the laughing, good-na
tured face
AS we miss an old friend thats
away;
So I'put it back in the same old place
1t had known for many a day.
The picture has faded, the leather
looks brown
Tonight meath the fame of the jet
But still don't think | can take II
down..
The girl that l didn't get.
/ suppose there are things that we
must expect,
For the brightest of metal will rust,
And there's always fungus that feeds
on neglect,
And the clearest of glass gathers
dust
And of course I knew, too, we've been
growing away
From those old summer days when
we met;
And there's many a change in us since
the day
OF the girl that didn't get.
But whatever may come, or whatever
may go
Though the picture may fade year
by year,
There's a very soft spot in my heart,
where l know
Her image will always be clear.
And so l can say-and | always will
Good luck, and God bless her yet,
With all my heart, for she has it still
The girl that l didn't get.

Max o'ReIps Own Story.

My husbands favorite anecdote,
says Mrs. Blouet in Answers, is one
that turns upon his favorite subject
the amazing ignorance of one nation
concerning another. He tells the
story in this way:
Being invited to take part in a
meeting convened in a church in an
important American town for the pur-
pose of discussing how Sunday should
be spent, | consented to go-not to tell
the meeting how the day ought to be
passed, but to say few words about
how it is spent in Paris.
"The proceedings opened with pray
er, after which followed an anthem.
When it was over an influential inhab-
liant of the town rose and assembled
the pulpit stairs.
From that commanding eminence
be proceeded to attack all non-Sab-
batarians, specially singing out my
compatriots: I spent one Sunday in
Paris, and was shocked at the sights
of low immortality everywhere
81 had never heard of my poor, dear
country pitched into so. The speaker
glared at me as / sat quite harmless
in my pew.
when he had said his say I was
asked to speak, and never did | feel
more eager to be heard.
Having reached the exalted ros-
trum, told the congregation how sor-
ry | was that their townsman should
have had such bad time in Paris, but
I thought that had he spent Sunday in
some respectable place he would have
been spared all these shocks. Pulling
very long face and picking out Mr..
Johnson (for such was his name) with
my eye: Where did my friend spend
that Sunday in Parish l asked. In
the Louvre, that is crowded with Par
isians of all grades every Sunday
honest folk who feast their eyes on
glorious creations of the great mas
tiers? He would have seen no immor-
atty there There are concerts every
Sunday afternoon, where music by the
best musicians is listened to with rapt
attention by masses of quiet, respecta-
BILE Parisians.
did our friend patronize one OF
these concerts, he would have seen no
immortality there. Where did he go?
We all know that great whites have
their black spots, and if you make
careful inquiries you can find them
out, no doubt. 1t is evident to me that
our friend did not spend that Sunday
in church, though we have churches in
Paris Where did he go?'
81 came down from the pulpit while
about 20 men, forgetting, l am afraid
that they were in church, rose in the
seats, and asked: Mr.. Johnson, where
did you go?'
Three years later I again visited
that American city, and I was told
that Mr. Johnson decided to try for
election to the senate, and one day af-
ter he had been addressing a meeting
of the electors, these latter were asked
if there were any questions which they
would like to put to the candidate.

Debts Inherited in India.

1t is the universal custom all over
India for a man whose monthly in
come is perhaps So to spend as much
as $500 on the marriage of his daugh-
ter This sum he borrows from the
local money lender, veritable blood
sucker, whose minimum rate Of inter
est is "a per cent, which is only ac-
corded to thoroughly well-to-do people.
The ordinary peasant, small shop
keeper, or domestic servants pays one
anna per rupee per mensem in the
way of interest, and as Is annas go to
the rupee it will be seen that this
works out to IS per cent. per annum.
AS a rule it is more than the Dor
rover can do to pay off this inter
est, and so the debt goes on growing
and is handed down from father to
son, a terrible load which is never got

Creed One Church Wants.

Instead of asking for a revision Of
the Westminster Confession, the pres
bytery of Steuben, N. Y, oVertures
the general assembly to formulate a
new creed, to be "as short as is com
patible with the statement Of the doc
trine most surely believed among us;
more silent than the Westminster Con-
fession on the deeper and darker
mysteries of revelation; better suited
to the understanding of the average
inquirer; that it be eminently simple
and Scriptural; that it be expressed
in the thought forms and terminolOgy
of our time as distinct from those Of
two and a half centuries ago, and,
most of all, that it make suitable
change of accent and give the right
proportion between the sovereignty
and fatherhood of God, thus more fu+
ly setting forth Gods love for sin
ners, as expressed in the Gospel We
believe that the fatherhood, and not
sovereignty, as now, should be made
the determining or regulative princi
pie of the new creed"

TITAN OF IMMENSE VALUE.
Reported Offer of 100000 for a
Great Painting.

The prepoSterouS report that some
one had offered $1,000,000 for Titian's
celebrated paintings of Sacred and
Profane Love-" in the Borghese col
lection at Rome, is due in all probabili-
ty to the universal hunger for astonish-
ing people, although it may have some
color of possibility to the imagination
of kindergarten financiers Insensate
prices havre been paid for RaphaePs
that in the National Gallery especially,
which came from the Marlborough
collection, also for the works of other
masters, but never any such incredi-
BILE price as this Yet it would be a
hard matter to set the exact limit of
value in the case of sale of Titan,
more particularly such an example as
the absurdly misnamed Sacred and
Profane Love-" If there exists in The
world picture worth $1,000,000, who
would be bold enough to deny the right
of Titan, the potentate of painters, TO
be the author of that work? AS to
the picture known by the title of 'Sa-
cred and Profane Love"-a title which
Titan did not give it, and which has
needlessly puzzled many commenta-
tors-it is not generally considered
simply as fanciful or romantic COM
position.
But Franz Wickoff, a German critic,
has evolved a theory, which has good
deal to recommend it, that this picture
represents an incident in the seventh
book Of the 'Argonautica" of Valerius
Flaccus, the Latin poet, where it is re-
lated that Medea, the enchantress,
daughter of Aeetes, King of Colchis,
unwilling to yield to her love for the
Greek Jason, is visited by Venus, who
pleads for the lover and endeavors to
persuade Medea to follow her to the
wood where Jason is waiting. Titan
has represented this scene as taking
place in the open air; the dawn is just
breaking and rosy streaks appear on
the horizon. A young woman, richly
dressed, is seated on one side of the
sculptured stone basin of a fountain,
on the edge of which she has placed a
costly casket. Her right hand is in
her lap and holds a bunch of magic
herbs. Deeply moved, she gazes fixed
ly before her, lending ear the while to
the persuasive voice of another woman
seated near. The form of this woman,
around which f1utters a red mantle, is
of a marvellous beauty. She rests her
right hand upon the fountains edge,
and with her left holds on high a
vase from which issues a light smoke.
Between the two women the God of
Love is splashing in the water with his
Mr.. Wickoff maintains that in the
beautiful nude figure Venus is easily
recognizable, even were here son not
there to indicate her presence. The
woman to whom she speaks, and who
though unwilling to yield blindly, still
feels herself drawn by an irresistible
power, is Medea, who betrayed the
king, her father, and followed Jason
the stranger and enemy of her people

He returned quickly to his office
thinking he had left them on the table
but he sought in vain. Just as he was
abandoning his search, an inspector
informed him that Desobray wished
