TOILET HINTS.

Good soap should always be used,
and, though more expensive at first, is
cheaper in the long run.
A dash of eau-de-cologne thrown into
the water is very refreshing when aone
is extra fatigued.
TO soften hard water oatmeal should
be put in. Little bags of this should
always be on ones table and placed in
the water a few moments before it is
needed. Ooatmeal is very beneficial to
the skin.
Spirits of ammonia is another toilet
requisite, as little in the water will
both soften it and help to remove
stains from the hands
A piece of good waShleather, with
which to rub the face after washing
helps to keep the skin smooth and
white.
Three most important necessities OF
everyday toilet are good toothbrush
a hairbrush of the best quality and a
clotheSbrush that will do the work
without tearing a delicate fabric OF
leaving it as if it had been through the
process of teasing.
The hairbrush that breaks or splits
the hair, or passes over the head with
the smoothness of its own ivory back
is to be avoided. What is wanted is
one which finds each separate hair, but
does not tingle the scalp of the head
which, pleasant sensation as it is
should not be too freely INDUCED
in. The ideal toothbrush does not
cause the gums to bleed.

IMPROVEMENT
OF PENINSULA
A Scheme to Give the Place
More of Modern
Utilities.

The Peninsula improvement ASSocia-
ton is proposed for the beautifying of
that charming suburb. 1t will be COM
posed of all the owners of property on
the Peninsula below Pearl City. The
largest owners of real estate there have
practically agreed to form themselves
into such an association and it is be-
lieved that the smaller owners will see
the necessity of joining also.
The association will beautify the Pc
ninsula by grading the streets, put
ting in stone curbings and laying ce-
ment sidewalks to take the place of the
earth walks. The streets and roads
have not as yet been turned over to the
Government and. it is within the prov
ince of the organization to do these
things.
One property owner is about to put
in lava stone curbings and cement side
walks on the approved grades and will
otherwise beautify his frontage. The
method of securing funds will be by pre-
rata taxation to be used in the employ
ment of labor and doing all things
which will benefit the greatest number
of residents. Large numbers of shade
trees will be planted according to the
plans now under way.
The Oahu Railway and Land Com
pany is about to rut in a new water
pipe system for the Peninsula. A
large consignment of cast iron pipe has
just been received by vessel around the
Horn and will take the place of the old
riveted iron pipes which gave the resi-
dents an inadequate supply of water.
The new pipe is eight inches for the
main avenues and six inches for the in
termediate streets The railway COM
pany operates the Pearl City and Pc
ninsula water system, procuring the
supply from an arteSian well located
just mauka of the railroad station at
Pearl City.
/ The association will also endeavor to
secure the erection of a fine hotel on
the Peninsula. The railroad, it is be-
lieved, will cooperate in such scheme,
it being understood that there is a
plot of ground owned by it which would
be made available for the purpose. The
chief point raised by the residents of
the Peninsula in favor of the erection
of a hotel is the short distance be-
tween the city and Pearl Harbor, which
would attract business men. The
schedule of the trains is such that with
very little change business men could
get to their offices by o'clock and re-
turn to the Peninsula at o'clock.

WON WITHOUT TRYING.

A minister was one day walking along
road and to his establishment he saw
a crowd of boys sitting in front of a
ring with a small dog in the center.
When he came up to them he put the
following question: What are you do
ing to the dog?"
One little boy said: whoever tells
the biggest lie wins it,
oh said the minister, II am sur
prised at you little boys, for when 1
was like you I never told lie.''
There was silence for while, until
one of the boys shouted: Hand him

Prophesiea About Edward VII.

The assumption by the new king, Of
the style and title of Edward VII. in
evitably brings to mind the old saying,
half history, half prophecy, concerning
the restoration Of Mass in England,
says the London Tablet. A lady, in
letter to. an evening contemporary,
quotes the following curious prophecy,
referred to by q correspondent of
'Notes and Queries" in 1880, as hav-
ing been repeated to him before the ac-
cession of Queen Victoria:
"In three hundred years and more
Sixth Edwards Mass shall be laid low,
When Seventh Edward he shall reign
Sixth Edwards Mass shall be said
again."
A different version of the lines was
given by another correspondent, in the
same year, and their authorship was
by him attributed to Cardinal Pole:
Sixth Edwards Mass 300 years and
more shall quiet be,
But in Seventh Edwards reign again
restored shall be.
1t is curious how widely diffused
was the idea that some religious
change should take place in England
300 years after the Reformation"
Still another version has been fur
nished by correspondent:
"For three hundred years and more
Sixth Edwards Mass shall be laid low
When Seventh Edward he doth reign
Sixth Edwards Mass shall be again"
The prophetic side of the ancient
saw, adds the correspondent, suggests
many hopes and is open to many inter-
pretations But within the limits of
the Catholic church 1t certainly seems
to be in the way of working itself out
into a matter Of fact, as may be seen
by a glance at the map Of the Catholic
dioceses of England, and reference
to the statistical statement as to priests
and churches in the current "Direc-
tory" The latter official record as
sures US that upward of 2,95O Masses
are now said daily in England.

a desire for the disruption of the Ital-
ian kingdom. This is a delusion. L
am convinced that the Pope is a true
lover Of Italy. 1 do not believe he
desires it's disruption. No such thought
is suggested by our address. For my
self, have not the remotest desire
for such catastrophe. But I share
the aspirations of those who believe
that the true policy for the unity Of
the Italian kingdom would lie for it's
rulers to emancipate themselves from
their subjection to anti Christian sects,
and to come to terms with the Pope.
For Papal independence is a claim
which no Catholic throughout the
world can afford to let go. In the
house Of lords, in 1S49, Lord Lans-
downe, confirming a dispatch Of Lord
Palmerstons spoke to the following eff
feet:
''There was no country with Catholic
subjects and Catholic possessions
which had not deep interest in the
Pope being so placed as to exercise his
authority unfettered and unshackled
by any temporal influences which
might affect his spiritual authority"
1t is we, the Catholics Of England
and Of the world, who are struck at by
such statements as have appeared dur
ing the last ten days. Writers on these
subjects too frequently appear to re-
gard the church as merely clerical
institution, in which the laity are re-
luctantly yielding to the commands
or beguilements of clerical influence.
They appear to forget that the vast
majority Of the church is composed
of laymen, Of men who glory in their
faith, who know what their religion
means to them, and who would de-
plore any signs Of weakness on the
part Of the clergy in upholding the
dignity of their sacred Office, in safe
guarding the integrity of the truth, or
in carrying out the duties Of their
trust. 1t is the failure to appreciate
this on the part of non-Catholic writ
ers about the church, it is this per-
petual missing of the point" which
makes so much Of what they write and
say appear so inept to Catholic readers.
And this bears upon the question Of
the temporal position Of the Pope. The
interests Of every Catholic are affect
ed profoundly by all that concerns the
central government Of the church. 1t
is not for us to say what arrangements
with the Italian government would be
satisfactory to the Pope. 1t is a ques-
ton which he alone can determine.
To accept the italian law of guaran-
tees would be impossible. They guar
antee nothing, and would reduce the
head of the church to position Of a
stipendiary Of the Italian government.
If we glance backward into history we
see that the autonomy of the Pope has
been accepted as first principle Of
politics by the greatest statesmen of
every nation, and we look forward
with the certainty that time will Justify
the principle which we assert. We
know that the interests of the church
are safe in the hands of the Pope, and
that we can look to him with the
| words Of Newman in our hearts:
"Our duty is not, indeed. to mix up
'Christ's Vicar with this or that party
Of men, because he in his high sta
ton is above all parties, but to look at
his formal deeds, and to follow him
whittier he goeth, and never to desert
