the frail ivy, clinging to the strong bat, clutch at the hope of happier life in the great beyond, and call them selves blessed for being among the chosen ones to suffer. A band of de- voted Sisters of Mercy plod diligently between the couches of the dying, re- lieying, as best they can, the bangs of the final struggle. Occasionally one of these selfssacrificing little women is shrouded in the flowing robes, and laid away in the tombs, with the other vic inns.

quest, for its barren, rocky soil is not productive without the efforts of la bor, and Hawaiians have the south erner's usual aversion to work. There are only four watercourseS on the island, and consequently no large areas suita ble to the cultivation of sugar or coffee, but lately the latter is making some progress owing to the infusion of American or European energy. King Kame cham cha V. had an extensive graz ing ranch on the western plateau, and here he set up the lares and penates of his favorite resort. Several deer sent him by friends were set at large and that portion of the island has grown to be quite a deer park. Kau- nakakai is the chief landing place for steamers, and is considerable town, with it's post office, 8 church, two schools and numbers of resi- dences. However, the chief center of interest of the island-one which at- tracts visitors and yet repels them is the leper settlement on the north side.
 Boats passing along the coast line give travellers a peep into this curious town, with all it's attending horrors. without the least danger of inoculation with the disease of the living death. At the Kalaupapa docks the miserable unfortunates are put ashore. Once there they enter iv- ing tomb and areS9orced to bid adieu to the busy world they left behind. Day after day they toll at their duties, and some even become so engrossed in the lffairs of their new sphere as to join n the town meetings and the little functions with some show of merri- nent. There is society" among the epers, strange as it may seem. The settlement consists of<three villages Kalaupapa, Kalawao and Naikolu-and the other inhabitants of the humble ' little hamlets visit each other and seek to find in one another's cheering words some solace for wrecked bodies a.. ruined lives. The little houses are kept clean and comedy; and when the Sabbath bells ring out at church time all who can limp their way to the sanctuary attend the service.
 There is something unspeakably pa. thetic in the devotion of those who, it would seem, had had their hearts hard med to all thoughts of a merciful deity, for their suffering is such as none but themselves can know. Like

 The east wind sprung up, and fixing his broad spear for sail, kahavali and his loved ones were carried to Mo lokai, where they rested, and put up a new hut for themselves. The terrible Pele became more wrathful than ever, and because her would-be victims had escaped her, she cursed the island. And so it is that the lava soil is not pro ductive; and, resting under the bane of Pele's revenge, it has become the abode of the miserable suffering g lepers.
 Few readers there are who are sure of thesr pronunciation of Hawa Il names. A few simple rules, when fol- lowed. make the seemingly tongue splitting words" quite easy indeed. The vowels of the Hawaiian language all have the soft sounds, and there are 10 diphthongs, or silent letters. Each vowel must De pronounced. Thus the name of the deposed queen is pro- nounced Lil-i-o-u ka-la mi, with no ac- cent save what the heightened sound of the in next to the last syllable would give.
 Molokai is pronounced thus-Mo-lo- kah-ee; Kalaupapa - Ka-la-u- pa pa; Ka-la-wa-o, Wa-i-ko-lu, Pele-Pee-lee; ka-ha-ya-i; ka-nieh a -me-ha, with the aspirant h, and a quick utterance as ka- -mehameha.

The gay youths had begun to dance to the music of the drums, and the toboggan race between Kahavali and his favorite began. Pele, the goddess of fire, came down in the disguise of an ordinary
 woman and challenged Kahavali to slide with her. The proposition was accepted, and they started off together. Pele, less accustomed to the art of balancing on narrow sled, was beat en. She commanded kahavali to give her his "papa" (sled), but he, never dreaming she was the goddess, said "aole'' (no), and forthwith her avenge- full fires were aroused. Pele stamped

PRONOUNCED HER MATCHES.
An English Grand m other Who Main tained That She Never Dropped
 a Single One.

To encounter the English HI" on its own soil affords annually much inno- cent amusement to travelling Ameri- cans. but if anything the letter is even funnier when it emigrates to the "'Appy Land" There is a household
 in a small Massachusetts town of which
 the most honored member is an aged grandmother. who was born in Eng land. She has two granddaughters, twins, named-although their mother now admits she ought to have known
 better-Hannah and Anna. The old lady is extremely attached to them. but there is seldom day in which her bright old eyes do not snap and her pretty white curls quiver with wrath at what she calls with spirit the '' 'ope- less haggravation" of trying to make them understand which she is talking to. ''I didn't call Annah,' I called Hanna" she will protest, indignantly, when the wrong one responds to a sum- mons. "Why don't Hanna cove 'erself, instead of sending 'Annah, when she wasn't masked for?" Nothing makes her ,angrier than to suggest, no matter how carefully and -delicately, that any confusion of Ills might be responsible for the difficulty. 'I'm Henglish, l hown,'' she says, with frigid dignity. "but 'ope know 'ow to pronounce my haitches! It's only the hignorant Henglish who say 'ouse for 'ouse and 'orse for 'orse. Hanna! 'Annah. What are you laughing at? didn t say 'ouse. l said 'ouse-'ouse and 'orse -hexactly as you do! Ark now and 'ear me-" Then very slowly and with deep impressiveness: "'Orse! 'orse! 'orse! 'ouse! 'ouse!

THE NEW CARDINALS
There Will Be No Americana or
 Eng1ishmen Among Them. gy
E.chbishop Martine1lf, 1Deste1ic Delegate at Washington, Sure to
 Be Appointed-Work Laid Out for the March Consistory.

The con sistory to be held at Rome about the beginning of March will, it Is thought, afford an insight into the diplomatic relations likely by that time to obtain between France and the Holy See. The proposed law against religious orders now being discussed in the French assembly will cause the recall of the papal nuncio at Paris and his elevation to the cardinalate. Appearances now seem to indicate the passage of this law by the assembly, but should it not pass, it is thought to be hardly possible that the pope will elevate any French ecclesiastic to the sacred college. The French government always sug- gests the names of prospective cardinals to the Holy See, and in the present tension it is needless to say such suggestions would be disre- garded if made. Instead, several Austrian and German prelates will, it is said, be nominated.
 Archbishop Martinelli, who has filled the position of apostolic dele gate at Washington since 1896, has already been officially notified of his coming nomination. Of course, he will not remain in America after he is made cardinal, but, like his predecessor, Cardinal Satolli, will be recalled to Rome. Who will succeed him at Washington is already mat ter of speculation.
 WeiI-informed -ecclesiastics expect the successor to Archbishop Marti- neli as apostolic delegate at Wash ington to be Mgr. Raffaele Merry del Val. He at present occupies the po- sition which Mgr. Satolli did at the time of his nomination to this coun- try, that of president of the Noble Ecclesiastical academy in Rome. Mgr. del Val is still young man, but bears the dignity of titular archbish-

 op of Nieae. His father is a Spanish marquis, who married an Englis h lady, and he himself was born in London in 1865. He was educated in England and speaks English as hu- ently as Spanish, French and Italian. His father has been for many years ambassador of Spain to the Holy See. In 1896 Del Val was sent as apostolic delegate to Canada, to settle difficult ties arising over the school question in Manitoba. His tact and diplomacy succeeded SC we'll that Prime Minis ter Laurier had to make several con- sessions to suit the views of the Holy See. His appointment will give gen. eral satisfaction to the Catholic hierarchy of the United States. .
 One of the Roman prelates who will be made a cardinal at the March consistory is Mgr. Francesca s. della Volpe, who is the present major domo in the Vatican palace. He is not yet bishop, and so will be made a cardinal deacon. He has held his present position since 1894, and papal major domos are always expected to be elevated to the sacred college.
 Mgr. Lorenzeli, nuncio in Paris, will also be made cardinal. He was born in 1853 near Bologna, and the two years spent in France as nuncio have admittedly not been diplomat ic success. It is said he will be re- called, no matter what happens to the bill in the French assembly against religious orders. As nuncio of the first class, he will be made a cardinal, even if his recall is caused by the failure of his mission.
 Another Italian cardinal will prob ably be Mgr. Aristide Ronaldini, num- cio in Spain since 1896. He is 56 years of age and has been in diplo- macy almost since his youth. Sev- eral other Italian prelates occupying prominent positions in the curia will, it is said, be nominated cardinals, for the college contains, since the recent death of the venerable Galeati, only 55 members, while the full college numbers 70.
 Of the foreign element no Ameri- can or Englishman will obtain the honor this time. Of the foreign names the preponderance will be Germans. Germany is fast assuming the position of protector of Catholic interests in China and the orient Gossip even mentions the name o1 Bishop Anzier, of Picking, in connec- ton with the sacred college, and it Bs known that he is acceptable to the German emperor. Spain already has . prepondsrance in the college be. yond it's usual quota. and so it is-said that the bishops of Metz, Strasburg Bamberg. Munich, Breslau and Fulda stand above any Spanish prelates and the selection of any of them will indicate the growing influence of the German emperor in Vatican diplo' macy.

GOD AND GOVERNMENT.

God does not leave the world to be
preyed upon by unbelief and anarchy,
its product. He has spoken to this ma
tion to call it back to a recognition of
his just claims as the supreme direct
ing and governing force, and to the
recognition of lawful, constituted hui
man authority out of INSTRUMENTATION
and defiance of law, and he has called
a halt upon the process of dereligioning
the political and social life of this
country-a process the existence of
which few will have the hardihood to
deny, and which is undermining the
integrity of the great republic.
This is no pessimism. 1t is deplor-
able truth, and the national safety lies
in continued recognition of God as the
moral governor of the universe and
the bringing of the children and youth
OF the nation more under ethical teach
ing which does not studiously exclude
the idea of God and human RESPONSE
bility to him. There is no neutral
ground to take on this subject, for the
welfare of the nation and it's fealty to
God are so welded together that they
cannot be separated. And ours is not
goddess nation. When it becomes such
it will presently disappear, as goddess
nations before it have disappeared.
