Showed Her Teeth.

One of the last things people like to
admit usually is that their teeth are
not their own in the sense of not hav-
ing grown in their mouths. A single
member from porcelain factory is not
Objectionable. The need of it might be
caused by an accident or for good
many reasons, but when it comes to
several and a plate, then the subject
becomes delicate one.
But there was woman in the street
cars the other day who apparently had
a brand new set Of teeth and she was
strangely proud of them. She first at

Persians Love Mirrors.

Persia is the ideal place for a looking
glass peddler to live and move and
have his trade, for the Persians are as
fond Of the shiny refectors as are saw
ages of beads. Every year immense
numbers Of mirrors of all sorts and
kinds are shipped into the country Of
the shah. Germany. France and Bel
GUM furnish most Of the supply. In
addition to having n fondness for see.
ing themselves as looking glasses show
them the Pe-sians know no more pleas
Ing parlor decorations than brilliant
mirrors In gilt frames. Some of the
Persian drawing rooms are so COM
pletely hemmed in by great pier glass
es that visitors often become bewil-
dered and try to walk through the
glasses down the long aisle that seems
to stretch in front. So bumped noses,
knees and toes are not uncommon in
that land of oriental splcndor and
mystery.

Queer Sight Abroad.

When I was in Aix-les- Bains last
summer, saw stout German woman
sitting at another table eating from an
enormous pile Of plates. l thought at
first she was carving or doing some
thing of that kind, but as the meal
progressed and the pile became no less
l made inquiry and found out that she
was extremely nearsighted, and the
pile of plates-exactly 10 in number
was necessary to raise her food to
point where it would come within her
range of vision. She was no less a
parsonage than the Duchess Of Sles-
wick-Holsten.
In Italy they do not use glass in the
windows on account Of the expense
and replace it with wood or other ma

ony. suppose, they have habit Of
painting household scenes on these
blank spaces. In one window you will
see an old chap reading his paper and
in another a young miss doing up her
hair. There are also other scenes Of
even more intimate family character,
which l will leave to your Imagination.

The Odd ShilllnGS.

There is very little difference be

shilling. and yet the keen business man
insists that the shillin., shall be conSid-

in Onslow square with check for

guineas it must be-"
''You axe aware that the lectures so
far have involved very heavy losses"

Not the Same Genesis.

A well known divinity professor, a
grave and learned man, had five daugh-
tiers, whom his students irreverently
named Genesis" Exodus" Num-
bers," "Leviticus" and deuteronomy"
Beginning his lecture one day, the
professor said. Gentlemen, wish to
speak to you about the age Of Gene
SIS"
Roars of laughter came from the
students.
Genesis is not so old as you sup
pose" continued the professor.
More roars-so long continued, in
deed, that the worthy man had time to
think before he made the next remark.
He said timidly-and he managed to
hit the mark this time:
II may not be thinking Of the same
Genesis as you are"

To Send Fifty People
To Buffalo
At OUR OWN EXPENSE
Bids Fair To Be Realized
In the Present Contest

1t looks now as though the TELE.
GRAMS ambition to send so people to
Futfalo at its own expense would be
realized. The list is rapidly growing
as the public is coming to realize
the full meaning OF this remarkable
offer.
1t is probable that all Of our read.
ers have a complete understanding Of
the conditions of the contest but in
case they have not it may be we'll to
say that there is no long drawn out
set Of complicated rules and regula-
tiOns.
In brief it is as follows: - ''For
every subscription OF the TELEGRAM
that is presented at this office certih-
Gates will be issued in manner SINH
lar to that which was adopted during
the Quaker Range contest; for every
years subscription will be given GER
lificate emitting the person whose
name it contains to 300 votes. for
every renewal for enc year 200 votes
and FOR shorter periods smaller mum.
Der OF votes in proportion according
to the tabUlated form below printed.
The person who shall have presented
the largest number of these votes at
this Office before s p. M, Aug. 10th
will be given free trip to Buffalo in
the manner above described, that is
free transportation and five days enter
tainment at the Alcazar Hotel includ.
ing board and room.
The winner OF this contest Shall
lave the privilege of choosing one
other person to accompany him or
her, said personsto go to Buffalo at
the expense of the TELEGRAM in the
tie same way.
Hu5 this does not end the affair by
any means. The TELEGRAM proposes
to see that no person who enters the
contest and takes any interest IN the
same shall come out loser. We
therefore make further inducement
most remarkable and attractive.
Every contestant, outside of the one
who is victorious, who Shall by s
O'Clock D. M, August 3lst, 1901, have
turned in $1,000 votes will also be
given a free trip to Buffalo, including
transportation and board and room at
the Alcazar Hotel for five days during
the Exposition. IL there are 30 who
take advantage Of this extraordinary
offer it will please the management of
the TELEGRAM SO times more than II
there is but ore. 1.-The more the
merrier.' Don't say you must stay
at home from the Exposition BECAUSE
you can t afford to go. That would
be ridiculous when such an offer as
this one is staring you in the face.
During the series Of Quaker Range
contests given last winter. the small
est number Of votes presented by a
winner was 90. 600: the largest was
about $4,000. In this contest you
have to turn in only $4,000 to be
winner, and this means the securing
of the equivalent OF fifty new subscri'
bers.

lions to the TELEGRAM may be Sc.

Walter c. Weldon
LeCtured Upon
Hawaii.

Walter c. Weldon. the man who holds
the record for the quickest travelling
ever made between Honolulu and Bos-
returned yesterday in the Alameda from
six months lecturing tour in the East
ern States. While coming across the
continent in the direction of the Pacific
coast. Mr.. Weldon delivered about fifty
stereopticon lectures and other addresses
on Hawaii, his audiences aggregating
about $4,000 people. His largest audience
was at Chautauqua, where 1900 persons
listened to his lecture and saw the pic
tUrcs. After repeated efforts to obtain
the use of the Temple of Music at the
Pan-American Exposition. where Presi-
dent Mckinley was shot, he was given
the privileges of the building, and lee
tured there twice, each time to an audi
ence o. 1900 people Other lectures were
given in Long Branch where he went in
company with Anthony Comstock; Ale
gheny City. Cleveland. Pittsburg, Mil
waukee, Chicago. Bay View. Minneappo-
lis, Hiram College and Omaha. His last
lecture was given at Pasadena.
II am confident" said Mr.. Weldon
yesterday evening. that my experience
in the lecture field has opened the way
for one of the best ways to present Ha-
waii to the American public. / don't
think that for the outlay connected with
the matter the interests of Hawai- could
be better conserved than TO follow this
thing mp. 1t will require a man who viii
put his whole heart in it. 1t needs
man acquainted with Hawaiian life, com
mercial interests. religious. climatic, So
cial end educational features, to show
off Hawaii in the proper way. a man
should be sent now to st. Louis and an
other man further east. That is the
way to tell what Hawaii has here and
to attract capital. We need more out
side capital and the only way to get it is
to tell the people what we've got out
here. YEA
"I did not think much of the educa-
tional exhibit Hawaii had at the Pan
American Exposition. 1t was too small
and not in a conspicuous place. L think
the money could have been put to better
in other ways of advertising
the Territory.
1T found out much about sisal fiber,
and say that there is a big demand
for il right now at eight cents a pound
for 400 tons IL we could supply it. This
was on the basis of the samples 1 took
away with me from Honolulu. We hope
to have the machinery for the plantation
here in short time machinery which
will work to advantage. 1 think that
II the people here give their attention to
the development of the sisal industry
the revenues viii be greater in proper
lion than that to be derived from sugar.
am not over sanguine, but / am con-
vinced this is true. There is money

THE COST OF LIVING.

The people, everywhere, are up in
arms against the trusts. They are
heartily sick and tired of paying two
prices for everything they have to
buy; and yet, many of these same
people who are doing 50 much grum-
bling o have, by the support of the
Republican party, the notorious faith
er Of all trusts, succeeded in placing
these grasping corporations in a pos
IhOn where they can dictate to the
people the price of even the meat and
bread necessary to support life.
Everybody is railing at the insatia-
bic greed of the trusts, and while so
doing may be preparing to give a
further impetus to the system that
produces the trusts.
This strange paradoxicaI political
.lcOndition merits acareful study on the
part of the people, and it is to be
hoped, that, at the next presidential
election, they will reach the proper
conclusion and put the party and men
n Office whose opposition to grinding
mOnOpolies can not be called in ques-
'tiOn.
In the mean time, the cost o fIiving

thing advances except poor sugar,
