THE COURT TOOK HIS .cHAw."

While John G.. Carlisle was arguing
that the Constitution does not follow
the: flag, in the Supreme Court the
other day, relates a Washington cor
respondent, a court messenger came to,
Justice Harlan and whispered to him.
Justice Harlan listened, dived into
trousers pocket and braught out a sill.

Everybody in the court room knew that
Justice White had asked Justice Har--
IAN for a chew of tobacco and that Jus

EngIioIanians are Losers
at Association
Football.

The last match of the Association
football season proper was played at
Makiki on Saturday between the league
champions and combination of En-
glish and Iolani players. A large num-
Der of spectators witnessed the play.
The game was of the closest possible
description for the first twenty minutes
and then Scotland scored two goals in
rapid succession, which seemed to dis
hearten the opposition. The score at
half time was to 0 in favor of the
Thistles.
In the second half the champions
played uphill and pressing all the time
scored again and again. The final
score was to in Scotland's favor.
The umpiring gave very general dis
satisfaction, no less than three of the
goals allowed being palpably offside.
When this is considered it will be seen
that the game was not such a walk
over as the official figures would indi-
cate.
The winners played a great game de
spite the fact that they were without
the services of Lennox, Goudie and D.
w. Anderson. Their combination was
admirable and and their defense par-
.ticularly good.
The losers lacked combination and

STORY ETTES,

This anecdote is told of Jules Janin,
famous dramatic critic: On the first
night of a new play-which was like
new wine, in that it was very bad-the
great man sat in the orchestra and,
after a time, reposed his massive head
upon his shirt front and slept pro-
foundry through the rest Of the play.
Yet when his criticism appeared it was
what in the present day is called IAN
awful roast" To him the aggrieved
playwright fastened and pointed out
the injustice of his criticism why.
Mr.. Janin,' said he you slept through
three entire acts. How. then, could
you have an opinion?" Not have an
opinion" blandly responded the great
man. why, my good sir, sleep is an
opinion
The Hawaiians are making progress

tonal hymn The House of Represen-
tatives was in session in Honolulu
when Admiral Bickford, the COM
handing officer of his Britannia
Majesty's flagship Warspite, and
half dozen of his officers came into
the chamber, whereupon the band
struck UP God Save the King" The
speaker requested the house to rise
thinking the air was meant for the
American national hymn. Representa-
tive Beckley. who knew a thing or
two about music, kept his seat. and

said he would introduce a resolution
prohibiting the band from playing

Mr.. d. C. French, the sculptor. tells
with much relish the story of his ex-
periences when he was commissioned
to make the bust of Ralph Waldo EN-
erson which is now in Memorial Hall
of Harvard University. At one of the
sittings, says Mr. French. Mr.. Elmer
son rose suddenly and walked over to
where the artist was working. He
looked long and earnestly at the bust,
and then, with an inimitably droll ex-
preston, he said: The trouble is the
more it resembles me the worse it
looks" After the sculptor had fin
ished the bust he asked Mr. Emerson
to inspect it. The philosophers opin
ion was characterically terse.
We'll, he said. at last. that is the

French relates, made on Of his quaint
observations about another bust, the
work of another artist. 1t was char

character. After looking it over. En-

HOW THEY LAUGH.

In Persia the man who laughs 3
considered effeminate. but a free IL
cense is given to female merriment
The Chinese laugh is not as hearty
or as expressive as the European or
American. 1t is Oftener litter than
a genuine outburst Of merriment
There is little character or force in it.
AS for the Arabian laugh. we hear
little of its hilarious ring through the
ages OF mirth in the Old world The
Arab is generally a stolid fellow, who
must either see good reason for
laugh or be surprised into it.
One reads Of the grave Turk" and
the sober Egyptian" but it is not
recorded that they have never mo-
ments Of mirth. when the fez hobs Or
the veil shakes under the pressure OF
some particularly good thing" In
Mohammed himself Christian writer's
have noted cordiality and jocoseness,
and they say there is a good, ringing
laugh in the prophet with all his sari-
business.
An American traveller in Europe re-
marks the Italian laugh as languid
but musical, the German as deliber-
ate. the French as spasmodic and I'M
certain. the upper class English as
guarded and not always genuine, the
lower class English as explosive, the
Scotch OF all classes as hearty. and
the Irish as Northumberland Jour.

SOME RANDOM SHOTS.

What seems only ludicrous is some
times very serious.
Love is like the moon: when it does
not increase it decreases.
One is alone in a crowd when one
suffers or when one loves.
Kindness is the only charm permit
ted to the aged; it is the coquetry OF
white hair.
To judge of the real importance OF
an individual one should think of the
effect his death would produce.
Man spends his life in reasoning on
the past, in complaining Of the pres
ent and in trembling for the future.
The mistakes of woman result al
most always from her faith in the
good and her confidence in the truth.
No woman can be handsome by the
force of features alone. any more than
she can be witty only by the help OF
speech.-Utica Globe
