Learned From u Woman.

If there is anything in which
woman is supposed to be especially
deficient, 1t is in sharpening lead
pencil in neat and wOrkmanlike
manner; but a certain woman report
or on daily paper was observed al
ways to have her pencils most beauti-
fully pointed.
The masculine reporters watched
her, but never succeeded in learning
how she did it, and one day they
sent delegation to ask her about it..
1--WE have come," said one Of the
delegates, humbly, ''to ask the Sc
cret of your gift as pencil sharpen
or. Your proficiency humiliates u.s."
cit is no secret" she said with a
smile.
ThereupOn she took pencil from
the hand of the speaker, raised the
lid of her desk, drew forth a carpen-
ter's chisel, rested the end Of the
pencil on the edge of the desk, and
deity shaped it into true cone
with a few "shaves" of the SHARP
instrument.
"There," she said, handing it back,
"have you learned something from
a wOman?"

She Waited.

Even q Scotchman cannot always
be humorous, if he would. Like
other people, however, he is some
times funny without meaning to be.
The Scottish American thinks that
the=message sent by a young man
in Peeblesshire to his waiting bride
may have kept her from worrying
over his non-appearance, but that
she must, after all, have received it
with mixed feelings.
The bride elect lived in a village
some distance from the home of
William the bridegroom. The we'd
ding was to be at her home. On
the eventf'ul day the young man
started for the station, but on the
way met the village grocer, who
talked so entertaingly that William
missed his train.
Naturally he was in what" is
known rs estate of mind" Some
thing must be done, and done at
once. So he sent the following
telegram:
"Don't mary till / come. VIII
liam"
If the bride elect knew her Will.
liam, she probably knew how he
felt when he sent the message, and
forgave the mental confusion which
resulted In what she must have
looked upon as needless request.

A "smAshup' or Rambling Nominations.

A "smashup' OF Rambling Nominations. |
Much worry might be avoided by
many good house wives If they
would give some little philosophical
thought to the relation of ways and
work. Throughout the southern
country, 1t may be said that the two
most common topics of converse
tiOn among "ladies of the house"
are their own personal, physical all
ments, and the trouble they have
with careless and incompetent SER
wants. 1t Is dangerous for men to
attempt to have much to do in
regulating these two troubles, and
unless he wants to get into difficult
ties dire, he had better let the first
one alone altogether. If a woman
wants to have "ailments" she Is
going to have them; and in fact there
are few women who can be happy
unless they are permitted to have
some without interference.
But from safe distance man
may venture to expatiate on one or
two of the weak points of the second
topic and trouble. At close range
he can observe and zee some things,
but If he wants to discuss them, he
had better do so with his pencil and
not sign his name to what he says.
If he should do this he would
probably start out by asking two
questions.
First: Why does woman en-
ploy servant to do certain work,
and then work harder to see that the
servant does that work than she
would have to do If she did it her
self?
Second: Why does woman
drive the closest kind of a bargain
with servant or cook, or take &
cook that will work for from three
to six dollars month, and ther
fret herself sick because that cool
does not know fifty dollars worth o.
knowledge per month?
When the aforesaid man has aske(
these questions, he finds that he ha
come to a full stop. He may argue
that when y servant is employed t,
do certain work, that work Ough
to be done by that servant. He ma!
argue that anybody who will worl
for from three to six dollars PIE
month cannot be expected to hav
any more knowledge or sense tina
that amount of money will pay for
But he has not answered his Owl
questions. And then he wants (
know ifthey can be answered. Then
If he Is the head Of household, h
will begin to wonder why he pays
clerk fifty dollars month, or
farm hand fifteen dollars a month
while the food he eats and whic
makes his health, his disposition
his temper--everything about him
is being manipulated by three
six dollar cook. Then he will thro'
the problem up in weak disgust; an
he will feel like he has a touch {
the Indigestion; and will bite off
chew of tobacco, or smoke a pipe c
cigar, or take drink, or go Ia
crazy. All these indulgences al
more or less brought ON by indigo
tible cooking, and still some GOO
people wonder why 80 many me
have such pernicious habits and a
so mean about some things.
There ought to be law for licen
ing cooks just as there is for licen
ing doctors after they have stood 9
examination. The greater the nuI
Der of unlicensed cooks, the great
will be the number of licensed dc
tors; and when the number
licensed cooks shall be great, e
number of licensed doctors will
crease.

T. M. STARKEY
IN WASHINGTON
Talks About the Nature and
Value Of Hawaiian In.
vestments.

After a residence of over twenty
years in the Hawaiian Islands, Mr.
T. NJ. Starkey of Honolulu, now at the
Shoreham, is on the way to England,
his native country. He is a prosperous
looking gentleman, and is identified
with moneyed interests there. Although
well informed on curren' polite al top
les in the islands, he preferred not to
discuss them for publication. 81 am
still British subject" said he, land
as / have many warm friends among
the high officials there, comment by
me might be construed impertinent.
'Englishmen have made many invest
ments in the Hawaiian Islands, con-
tinued Mr.. Starkey, "but the bulk of
paying properties is owned by Ameri-
cans, perhaps as much as four-fifths.
Money is tight there, because of the
great demand for it in developing num-
erous new enterprises. I know of a
party of Englishmen who were passing
through Honolulu recently and in
vested $4,000. They will probably send
more money there before long. Sugar
is not bringing the fancy prices of last
year, but there is still good margin of
profit in its culture. Some of the OPP
portunities for investment are very
good, but their value does not seem
to be appreciated in this country. For
instance, the bonds of the Oahu Rail-
road, paying an interest of per cent
do not begin to sell for the premium
they would command under similar
circumstances in the United States. The
road is very profitable property, and it's
warehouses and terminals alone would
sell for the amount of bonds issued.
The same thing is true of other we'll
established enterprises in the islands
that I might mention. But with the
exploitation of Hawaiian securities I
look for a change for the better in this
regard. "-Washington Post.

For Hawailans.

Yesterday, President Milburn of the
Pan-American Exposition Company re-
cefved, marked copy of a Honolulu
paper which contained an article by Mr..
R. III. Stafford, formerly of Buffalo, in
which the writer urged the Hawaiians
to make some kind of an exhibit at the
exposition.
Il cannot conceive" said Mr.. Stat
ord, "how Hawaii can stand by and
miss being represented at the biggest
show on earth. Hawaii is a part of the
United States. and a very important
part, and her people ought not to be
allowed to forget it. If they would get
a concession and build matched bung-
allow on the native architectural plan
it would prove one of the great attrac-
tons of the exposition, and if they
wanted to, natives could send an exhibit
which would tower far above anything
the States will have to offer-Buffalc

Of course you are going, whether you dance or not. In the first place you will miss one of the treats of q lifetime if you fail to see what has been done with the in- terior of City hail. Then again, you will want to know just how it feels to watch the dancers glide around the crashed floor. You will want to see the happy faces of the young ladies and the young gentlemen. You will want to feel young again if you are growing old and grey. and you will want to laugh when the others laugh and feel young again. If you are still in youths happy days you will want to join in with the merry throng, and you will most assilredly if you are there. It will be one of the happiest gatherings ever seen i'll the City hall and it will reward the boys for their efforts ill trying to make the ball success. There will be the best kind of concert and dance music, and if you miss this ball you miss one of the real treats of the season. You can see the old year out and the new year in in lD better manner, and there will be lots of enjoyment around the hall that will h9Id you for hours.
