east on family matters of an urgent

the crematorium, after having allow

How the Coal Miner Progresses.


I'm twelve years old, goin' on
thirteen" said the boy to the boss
Of the breaker. He didn't look more
than ten, and he was only nine, but
the law said he must be twelve TO-
get a job. He was n of a multitude
of the 10000 youngsters OF the mines,
who, because miners families are
large and their pay comparatively
small, start in the breaker before
many boys have passed their primary
schooling. From the time he enters
the breaker there is a rule Of prog
ress that is almost always followed.
Once a miner and twice a breaker
boy-the upward growth of boy to
man, breaker-boy to miner, the de-
scent from manhood to old age, from
miner to breaker-boy; that is the rule.
So the n~ine-year-old boy who is
twelve, goin' on thirteen" starts in
the breaker.-Rev. John Mcdowell in

TRUSTS IN FORMER DAYS.


Food stuffs and other Products Cor
nered in Ancient Times.
The ~"cornering" of foodstuffs by
monarchs and their agents is said to
have been the earliest form Of trust
that ever existed and as they had the
power to prevent any bear movement
in opposition their deals could not
help being successful ones. Accounts
of such transactions are to be found
in Asyrian records dating back 1000
or 5000 years; and the bible describes
a very large operation Of this kind
carried out by Joseph, when, out of
the wealth Of the seven fat years, he
provided for the poverty of the seven
lean ones. The Romans did the same
thing through their tax farmers, who
laid %e1abargoes on the food supplies
Of the provinces against arrears Of
taxes and ne probability Is that SINH

Unusual Expedlent AGAINST Rats.

A large London meat house which
had suffered severe loss through the
devastations committed by rats hit
upon a novel scheme to abate the nui-
sance. A regular system of kindness
was practiced upon the rodents. Food
to their taste was left for them at
regular intervals. It was given them
to understand that the management
considered it a great pleasure to have
them about the premises. All cats
were banished from the warehouse.
At the end Of six months the rats be-
came quite tame and would eat out of
the butchers hands. The dainty
meals reserved for human beings
were henceforth left untouched, ro-
dent notions of honor being exceeding
ly strict. The result is that, although
the rats are daily on the increase,
with no limit in sight, the firm is
many pounds ahead, and on the road
to prosperity.

HoNoLULU's sosRlETY.

Taere vas only one case OF drunk
onness on the police court docket yes
rerday.
Anyone who watches the po-
lice court records must have noticed
with satisfaction that sobriety Is
greatly on the increase in Honolulu
Not so very long ago 1t vas quite Gus
romary for a. many as twenty. or even
thirty. inebriates 10 be lined up every
morning before Judge Wilcox, the
daily average being between twenty
and thirty cases. Now it is seldom
that more than halfa-dozen unfortu-
mates can be found waiting 10 pay the
regulation fine and usually there are
only three or four men who have
ayers;epped the bounds OF temper
anre.
Judge Wilcox has often noted. from
the bench. the improvement in the
general sobriety OF Honolulu. He at
tributes it 10 the fact that there are
more licensed beer saloons in the city
and that men can drink beer without
bad results. whereas they used TO i'm
blbc bad spirits and soon be overcome
in the DAYS when the beer saloon, by
itself was unknown. The Judge has
also gone so far as to say that he
would like to see more beer saloons,
as ne believes they would be followed
by still greater indications Of temper
auce.
To certain extent Judge Wilcox
may be right but We think that a
share OF the credit for the greater
sobriety existing in Honolulu is due
10 the work OF the temperance organ
izations in the city. These bodies have
been conducting vigorous anti-liquor
campaign and they gain more infiu-
euce among men By offering some
evening attractions and amusements
10 keep them away from the saloons.
whereas in the olden days the tenn
perance work consisted in telling
man he was an outcast, without any
practical effort at reformation. What
ever the cause for the greater sobri-
ety Of the people here. the city OF
Honolulu is 10 be congratulated.
