The Legislature is nothing, of not
modest. 1t appropriated $4,000 for it's
expenses, a sum far in excess of any
that previous Legislatures have requir-
ed. This large sum, which was equi-
valent to $3.50 per day, is now found to
be insufficient, and it is claimed that
$40, OOOwil have to be appropriated. This
will bring up the cost of the Legisla-
ture to $4,000 or somewhat more than
$1,000 per day Whether the citizens
have got their moneys worth for the
lavish expenditure, remains to be seen.
SO far the success of the majority
seems to consist in having laid hands
upon and spent this sum, and in get
ting upon the statute book the repeal Of
the tax upon lady dogs. In fact this
might be dubbed the Lady Dog Legis-
lature. OF course there are rude people
who might call it something else, but
Lady Dog Legislature sounds rather
prettily.

Miss Dawson, who has been appoint
ed Commissioner to Buffalo to repre-
sent the Educational Bureau of the
Territory, is eminently fitted for the
position. Miss Dawson is a part-Ha-
waiian, received the whole of her edu-
cation in the city schools, and taught
successfully as principal of the Manoa
School, which she raised from a chao-
tic condition into a well equipped and
progressive institution. Her executive
ability was recognized and she was ap-
pointed Assistant Secretary and School
Agent for the district of Honolulu,
which Offices she has filled most salts
factorily. Miss Dawson thoroughly
understands the working of the depart
ment, and will be able to give all in
formation about Hawaiian education
to those who visit the education exhibit
in Buffalo. The Bureau and the Terri
tory at large will be fortunate in being
so we'll represented.

The Bow Wong Society has some
thing to say for itself in reply to DR.,
Sun. The main difference between these
two parties is that the Bow Wongs
hope to regenerate China through
cleaning up the present machinery,
while DR.. Suns YounP China party
wants to break up the whole of the
present machinery, sweep it into the
ash heap of broken ideals, and start
entirely afresh The Young China
party is the Nihilistic form of Chinese
regeneration. The Bow Wongs are the
conservative revolutionists.

Willed A Fortune.

Miss Veronica McDermott, of
Mt. Savage, has been willed for
tune by James S. G. Leary, of
Dublin, ireland, ON condition that
she marries DR.. Elroy Mccoy, a
practicing physician living in
Colorado. DR.. Mccoy is a first
cousin of the testator. Miss Nc
Dermott was nurse at st. Ag
nes' Hospital, in Baltimore, where
Mr.. Leary, who was taken ill
while in this country, underwent
treatment. She won his esteem
by her patience and good care.
When he recovered he returned
to Ireland, but before leaving
made will in which he made his
nurse a beneficiary. Miss Nc
Dermott received one letter from
Mr.. Leary after his arrival in Ire
land, in which he stated that his
health was poor. He died short
time ago. Recently a letter was
received by a Baltimore physician
from a Dublin attorney, commu-
nicating the intelligence of Mr..
Leary's death and Miss McDer-
motifs good fortune. The bulk
of the estate, estimated at $780,
600, is left to various charitable
institutions. DR.. Elroy Mccoy,
of Cripple Creek, Colorado, re-
ceives 100000, and Miss McDer-
mott is left $4,000 on condition
that she marries DR.. Mccoy with
in a year. Failing to do this she
is to receive $4,000 and the diff
ference is to be used in building
an asylum for homeless boys at
Los Angeles. Miss McDermott
is related to Mr.. Abram Troxell,
of Hancock, and has visited there
on several occasions.

Profits in Fractions Of Cents.

tits most astonishing that trade
in these days is making it's enor-
nous profits in the fractions of a
cent. In one of the cities of the
country there was bank presi-
dent who gave his millions for
philanthropic purposes. During
his life, even on the days was al
most to infirm to walk, he would
tread sadly and brokenly to his
home. One day man met him
on the street and said:
"Why don't you take the street
cars?"
He instantly replied, my dear
friend do you appreciate the fact
that a hundred dollars would have
to work half a week to pay that
fare?"
And yet he gave two millions to
a library and another million to a
hospital. That is the spirit OF
modern money making. On the
one hand it gets the millions
through the fractions of cents,
and with the other it spends the
millions without regard to deci,
mails.

Between Courses.

The Armenian restaurants serve
between courses preparation which
is particularly refreshing in hot
weather and which might with ad-
vantage be added to American bills
of fare. Prunes, figs and dates Of
the finest brands are rinsed thor
oughly and are then soaked in a
quantity of cold water until they re-
gain their original plumpness. The
water is then turned off and saved,
and boiling water, enough to cover
the fruit, is poured over it. This is
allowed to stand on the fruit until
it is cold, when the water in which
it was soaked and the juice of a
lemon, and sometimes that of an
orange, are added, and the mixture
is sweetened. 1t is then poured over
cracked ice and served. The fruit
juice is especially delicious, but the
fruit will also be liked.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
How a Cowboy Had Fun With an Attn
Ietlc Parson.

TOW n OOWDOy Ffdu run WIN an ftttt-
letlc Parson.
"A clerical friend of mine told me
a capital story of a Yale man who
was the stroke oar of his crew and
the chief athlete on the football
field.
He entered the ministry and spent
years in missionary labor in the far
west. Walking one day through
frontier town, a cowboy stepped up
to him and said:
"Parson, you don't have enough
fun. Take drink"
The minister declined.
"Well," he said, ''parson, you must
have some fun. Here's faro layout.
Take a hand in the game"
The minister declined.
"Parson, sad the cowboy, you'll
die if you don't have some fun"
And he Knocked the parsons hat
off his head and hit him whack on
the ear.
The old athletes spirit rose. The
science which had been learned in
the college gymnasium and forgot
ten for a quarter Of century was
aroused, and blow was landed on
the jaw of that cowboy that sent him
sprawling in the street.
The parson walked over to him
as if he had been door rug, picked
him up and busted the side of the
house with him and then mopped
up the sidewalk with his form.
AS the ambulance was carrying
the cowboy off he raised his head
feebly and said:
"Parson, what did you fool me
for? You are chock full of fun."-

He was treated by the best doc

Throbbing hearts soon sink TO rest

Lies sun hurries TO the west.

From despair a soul to save;

Marching onward to the grave.

You are dreaming, do it now

Then to-day fulfill thy brow.
If you mean to help another,

dissolved little washing soda.
Back fire of ordinary household
coal well with this mixture. After
it has burned for two or three min

There are many people who
from a false idea Of economy fail
to get the best results from the
use of ice and refrigerators. A
common mistake is getting a
small piece of ice every day or
every other day, instead of filing
the ice chamber two or three
times a week. The small piece of
ice cannot reduce the tempera-
ture sufficiently, and the result is
that each new piece melts rapidly
and the food cannot be kept long.
1t will be found at the end of the
season that the cost of ice and
waste of food have been much
greater than if the ice chamber
had been kept filled.-Maria Par
loa, in the Ladies Home Journal

A Tragedy.

The following tale was related
TO the writer as true, and he be-
lieves it to be true. A woman
came to Chicago for treatment at
the hands of the notorious Dowie.
This man claims to make no fees
for his services, but charges his
victims board. Time wore on,
and in spite of faith, prayer and
the rest, the patient found herself
no better. Dowie said to her:
"Have you made your offerings
at the altar?" She replied that
she had "offered" everything in
the world but her return ticket.
Dowie retorted: 81 thought you
were holding back something
from the Lord. You have not
enough faith. p" So she sold her
ticket and offered the proceeds at
the 'altar." Still she did not re-
cover her health, whereupon she
received from Dowie the comsort-
ing assurance that the devil had a
grip upon her too strong to be
broken, and that she was doomed
for this life and the hereafter.
And yet people wonder why so
many "1oaters" are fshed out of
the lake. What other resource is
there left for them? Allured by
the specious appeal to faith that
has been taught them from in
fancy they embark their all in
strip themselves of their
les penny at the suggestion of
this self-styled vicegerent of God
and finally, crushed by the awful
condemnation, or shamed to re.
turn to friends and confess their
folly, the friendly waters close
over them.
Several curious questions sug-
gest themselves;
Are there any limits to human
gullibility?
Has Dowie any conscience at
al, any dread of the hereafter
and the final accounting to be
made by him to the Deity he SC
shamefully misrepr esents? Or is
his rhinoceros hide impervious
alike to contempt from without
and stings from within?.
We have heard of numerous
reasons given for matrimony.
The majority are good, some are
odd and a few are almost foolish.
A story comes from Wilkesbarre
giving a reason belonging to a
class by itself. A man and wo.
man, who were neighbors, disput
ed as to the ownership of a pig.
The case got before a magistrate
who, happened to be a modern
Solomon, decided to kill the pig
and give half to each. The clai.
mants concluded that rather thar
let it be killed they would gef
married and both keep it. The
modern Solomon married then
and the three went home and are
presumed to be living happily to
gether. This reason is somewhat
bestial. They are not the first
man or woman who married ano
got a pig thereby.
