.Inlaid art mating represents fair
ly good imitation of hardwood, inlaid
floors both in colors and designs. Wing
ed butterflies of gorgeous conventional
patterns representing embroiuery are
among latter day examples of artistic
mating. The latest achievement of the
manufacturers is squares of mating
varying in size from few feet to two or
more yards, which are called mating
rugs.
+ In view of the steadily increasing use
of straw mattings in America, at first
thought it seems surprising that Yankee
ingenuity has not turned money-mak-
ing eye toward the manufacture of so
salable commodity. Differing opinions
are given by American dealers concern
ing the possibility of establishing the
mating industry on a paying basis in
this country. Such an experiment, says
one, made ten years ago at which time
two factories were established at Paw
tucket, R. l., and Milford, Conn, proved
TO be financially disastrous to the pro-
jectors, who, however, experienced the
satisfaction of turning out very credit
able specimens of mating, and it was
abandoned in less than two years.
! In this case the manufacturers labored
under the disadvantage of importing the
raw material at a cost approximating
that of the finished mating, and in ad-
dition was the greater cost of Ameri-
| can labor.
In China and Japan 40 cents in gold a
day is big wages for good workmen at
the mating factories, those less skilled
receiving anywhere from half that sum
down to days rauons in rice. Compare
these figures with those representing
American labor and the difficulty of COM
peting with the Chinese producer Is at
once understood. But there are dealers
who affirm that there is sufficient marshy
| land in the Southern States of America
for the planting and growing of unlimited
quantities of straw, and that with home
! production of the raw material there Is
nothing to prevent straw mating taking
a place among paying American indus
tries. Other dealers, equally well in
formed, affirm as positively that the
manufacture of straw mattings In this
country on a remunerative basis is
among the impossloilities.-New York
Tribune.

Army WORK
IN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

Major George Wood, in command Of
the local posts of the Salvation Army.
writes as follows to the War Cry:
On correspondence lines, Captain
Lewis of Koloa, is noted for making his
letters give "multum in paryo." In his
latest he briefly states that two noted
drunkards have lately been saved, and
the debt is being whitfield down little
by little" l think that is giving plenty
of good news in very little space. He
didn't enlarge on the efforts both of
these events have entailed upon him
self and Cadet Lyman, that would be
wasting time. ink and paper; for we
who know Daddy" Lewis know him
to be work personified." God bless
him and has faithful labors on Kauai!
But now to return to my trip, from
which my mail had led away my
thoughts and mind. I left Lieutenant
Mcleod safe in the arms of Morpheus
when it came time to land at Maalaea
Bay, but Brother Hambly was up, and
did the farewell act for both. 1t was
4 a. M, but Captain Bamberry and
Billy were at the wharf awaiting me.
A sharp drive of an hour landed us at
llle wv dlIuAu quarters. w mem L lOOhcu
over the program 1 found my Irish
friend had only got me booked for about
thirty-two meetings all round the cir
cult during the two weeks of my So
journ with him. Bamberry, like Lewis,
is a man after my own heart.
1t was just year since 1 made my
first visit, and / could not help making
comparisons between conditions then
and now. To the captain and his for
mer helper Lieutenant Mcleod, is due
the credit for the change. Then we
marched out three strong, captain,
lieutenant and I; there were no flags in
the corps. Last Saturday night we had
nine in the march, with the colors flying
ahead. He has quadrupled his soldiers
roll in this time. Then we took eighty
Crys. now 200 American, 800 Japanese,
twelve German and twelve Spanish
then no young soldiers were received,
now 104. The corps financial income
has been trebled. The one junior meet

are held, in five towns, with nine COM

who know the islands, and especially
Maui, will appreciate, and with us
praise God for the marvellous change
and Transformation which has taken
place.

Pala, came and spent the first week

the Portuguese minister, and his wife
Their help was much appreciated. That
Sunday was a full day can easily be

The crowd in the Kaanumanu Church
on Sunday evening was the largest and
best l have seen in Wailuku. They
seemed very much interested in the
enrolment of two japanese soldiers:
gave the largest collection the captain
has ever taken up in Wailuku; remain
would not have salvation. The good
seed, however, was sown, and we be-
lieve God will add the increase. The
captain took advantage of my presence
on the island, to take a trip over to
Hama and the eastern end of the island
and so Cadet HeIlesath and the d. O.
were left ''nonarchs of all they sur
veyed.''
Arthur Douse was with us at both
Hamakuapoko and Paia, and his sing
ing and cornet playing were a big help.
The best meeting of the week was at
Pata. We had the Japanese church,
and both the Japanese and Portuguese
ministers were with us We finished
up with fourteen Japanese coming for
ward seeking salvation. Glory be to
lGodi Our meetings are generally poly

vice in the club house at Camp 5 was a
really blessed time. The hour before
each evening meeting was spent in the
different Japanese camps. pushing the
"Toki No Koye," and we believe this is
proving a foundation work for some
grand reaping later on.

The late Field Marshal Count Won
Blumenthal, of Germany, once com
mitted an indiscretion that came near
raining his entire life. In July, 1866.
Blumenthal wrote a letter 20 his wife
from the seat of war In bohemia, and

Viennese newspapers, says a London
exchange The criticism Of the crown
prince, accusing him OF unpunctuality,
was particularly grave. The Austri-
ans, in thus Publishing the letter, were,
OF course, acting within their rights.
But the publication fell like o bomb
upon the Prussian headquarters, The
crown prince. however, showed no re-
sentiment against bis chief of the staff.
and Moltke also acted with great mag
nanimity When the letter was
brought under his notice he remarked
that "a third party had nothing TO do
with what q man writes 20 his wife,
But the third person mentioned in
the letter was not oi this opinion.
Prince Frederick Karl found the
newspaper containing the unfor-
tunate letter laid ON his writing table.
Without saying a word he ordered his
horse 10 be saddlcd and rode Go the
kings quarters with the newspaper in
his pocket On his arrival there. he
learned that the king could not see
him Immediately as the crown prince
was with him Prince Friederich Karl

At last the door of the kings room
opened and the crown prince stepped
out flushed and excited, but beaming
with satisfaction As soon as he saw

and said: ~ can give You some infor-

which Prince Karl made a wry face,
put in his pocket the newspaper he had
held ina his hand, and walked of with
