A Significant Election.

The Hawaiian election ia OF full
significance. Apparently Congress,
when instituting the territorial gov
ment, was too liberal with the
suffrage. The ipgrstitude OF the
natives in defeating the r pub ican
candidate for delegate in Congress
indicates that they were given more
liberty thaniis good for them, does
it noti-Eadhange.

In the meantime the bar holds It's
own, and the mail steamers are TOO
big to get into the harbpr. The out

Durham has a chance Of making the
acouaintance of the Natal rickshaw
boy, who will gallop him up to the
Royal hotel in good shape.
These Zulu boys are good specimens
Of their race-a race of children.
They have tremendous spirits. They
would think it very tame to wait their
turn for fare, like the London cab
men. When traveller comes out OF
the hotel there is wild charge of
rickshaws across the street. The boys
enjoy the race, and shout and leap in
to the air.
The dress of the rickshaw boy IS a
picturesque medley. 1t is a common
thing to see one wearing the
discarded tunic of private of an Eng
lish line regiment, his head covered
with child's or lady's straw hat,
ornamented with tags of lace and tied
with ribbon under the chin. Others
affect the ferocious style, and adorn
themselves with enormous feathers o.

MANY of the new dress toques and

of flat roses which come for that pur-

in this manner and the effect is sum

brim is formed of a black lace scarf,
which is drawn loosely to the back,
half yelling the crown and forming
soft bow at the back. In front 1t par
tally covers the tiny French rosebuds
which nestle under the brim. A lovely
summer hat for wear with wash gowns
is of fine Milan straw in delicate pale

chic model shows a round, high crown

formed of the same. A cluster ofwhite
rosebuds, the tiny sort, stands high on
one side, almost like an aigrette, rising
from a chou of black velvet ribbon;
around the crown is laid a loosely fold

Some of the straw hats exhibit three

these combinations are lovely, the col

FOR SERVANT vExArIoNs.
The solution OF the Time-WeRry
Problem of Domestic Service
Is Now in sight.

We all know the usual method of
servants training. They secure a po-
tition first at general housework, then
after stumbling through duties never
before heard of, and handling foods
and utensils the value of which is utter
lyunknown to them, desert their teach
er-mistress and take place at higher
wages. Receiving further Instructions
from the new mistress they leave her
also for higher wages and still further
instructions elsewhere. This condi-
ton Of affairs is disgrace to the intel
ligence Of housekeepers, writes Helen
G. Gandee, in Woman's Home Compans
ion.
In stating the case have not neg
lected to find fault with mistresses as
well as maids. Indeed, the largest
blame rests with the former, for their
intelligence is greater, and intelligence
has its responsibilities. Servants
themselves are not likely to take the
trouble or go to the expense OF acquir-
ing proper training if they can be just
as well remnuerated without. There
fore, it remains for the mistress to
make Improvement possible, and to in
sist upon it.
With all the fire of an exasperated
housekeeper would / preach the doc
trine Of education first to the mistress,
for only from that can come education
of the maid. A foreman in foundry
or oyerseer in building knows how to
do the work of the men under him,
otherwise they would slight it, partly
because he could not recognize good
work, and partly because he would not
discover faults. Isitnot exactly so with
domestic service? Then there is an
other thing to consider. Many of us
have no servant at all, or only for a
part of the time, and then is the neces-
sity for domestic knowledge doubled
The remedy for the domestic prob
lem is the school for domestic science,
an institution which brings about the
desired result of making housekeeping
science, housework trade. The most
successful school for domestic science
in this country is simply we'll
equipped kitchen accommodating 16
pupils being taught systematic house
keeping.
