English STYLE Dinners.

In the endeavor to be like the, Eng
lish in some of their ways, curious Gus
toms are started in France. For in-
stance, among the middle classes, when
special dinner is given in the Eng

their shape and form each indicating
their contents. in the same way as the

One of these dishes will be butter col

is all in ridges, indicative of a bundle
of asparagus.
The wells of the dishes themselves
are all treated in the same way, and
the coloring, roughly speaking, is cor

Women and Their Troubles.

Once upon a time two women were
talking over their troubles, and while
one was telling her tale of woe the
other was very impatient to tell hers.
Finally, after several unsuccessful
attempts, the second woman managed
to tell her story, and as she had the
last say she improved very much on
the tale of the first woman, in conse-
quence of which the first speaker was
made quite unhappy.
Moral. - Some women are more
wretched than others because the 9th
ers have more troubles than they have.

A BOYS LOVE.
The symptoms That Mark His First
Consciousness of Woman,

The Symptoms That Mark His First
Consciousness of Woman.
at is deeply and touchingly signifi-
cant of the uplifting influence of wo-
man over man that the first heart
throb of boy is always accompanied
by ablutionary symptoms" says Doro-
thy Dix in Ainslee's. 1.-The earliest in
dication that a masculine creature
gives of susceptibility to the fair sex
is when he first voluntarily washes be-
hind his ears. Up to that time his
morning bath, except upon compulsion,
has only described a small circle, tax
ing in his eyes, a segment of his cheeks
and his chin. A thorough scrubbing
he has regarded as one of the tortures
of the inquisition, combing his hair he
has looked upon as a foolish waste Of
time that might have been spent on
tops and marbles, while brushing his
clothes and shoes has seemed a con-
temptible trucking to the effete Gus
toms of society that was unworthy Of
an intelligent human being.
Suddenly all this is changed. Some
morning the boy appears abnormally
clean. He develops a mania for scent
ed soap. His ears are beyond re-
proach, and If he has the making of a
lover in him he begins to manicure his
nails. He becomes critical about col
lars and neckties. His family say,
How Tommy is improvingr and his
mother congratulates herself that her
lectures are bearing fruit at last.
In reality it is the first premonition
of love-vague, inarticulate, intangible,
but unmistakable. No man ever real
ICES his defects until he sees them re-
fiected in feminine eyes. Men do not
dress up for each other; bat for wom-
ans opinion they would still be going
about in comfort and the aboriginal
blanket. The silk hat and dress coat
are daily offering ON her shrine, and
TOmmy's newly awakened desire to fix
up is simply his first consciousness of
woman. He does not understand its
portentousness. and he may still out
wardly scorn little girls, but for him
the die has been cast. The disturbing
and compelling influence of woman has
entered into his life"

status of the country pubiisher

Here is a little old straight-from- the
shoulder talk about matters lying near
to our heart There seems to be feel
ing among business men that a news
paper has no business to make money.
Why not? 1t is the most exacting busi-
ness in the world. the most trying in
every way. 1t means long hours and
the greatest care in its conduct. The
newspaper has the entire public to deal
with. 1t is criticised on all occasions.
1t has to deal with all the cranks in the
community, and to do this successfully
re liies judgment and patience.
/; has power. and that power, to the
credit of journalism, is nearly always
welded for the public good. No ques-
ton Of vital concern to the home people
tails to find Il strong support from the
home newspaper, and this, too, without
remuneration. The publisher spends
lis money TO further these projects,
and the community never gives a
thought to the matter of cost to him.
1t is not paid out of the public pocket.

Why4

One of the wonderful things is that
woman of fair intelligence will paint
her cheeks like a clowns and appear
on the streets. Why does she do it?
Does she imagine that people think the
paint is bloom of youth? Does she not
know that people laugh at her? There
are two things that people are quick
to notice-when a man wears a wig
and when woman paints her cheeks.

The Capitol and the White House.


The street urchins of Washington to-
day would hardly know by the names
assigned them on the original maps the
two chief buildings planned for the
national capital. The capitol was then
the Congress house. and the White
House the PRESIDENTS house" The
exposure intended for the front in each
building has since become for practical
purposes the back. The capitol was
made to face east, but landowners
pushed up their prices so that the city
grew on the west and is there today.
The White House was made to face
the Potomac river on the south, after
the fashion Of the Virginia mansions Of
its day, but is thought of by the Ameri-
can people as facing Pennsylvania ay-
enue, or toward the north. : Youths

PRICE,CUTTING
Powerful weapon against dull sea sons

Ihls time of the year is called the dull season;
that IS, business is not as rushing as during the
rest OF the year But with it seems to be the con-
trary; we do almost as much business as dur
ing December, the star of the winter season. The
reason is simply we use the price cutting system,
which is powerful weapon against dull seasons.
Every March in each year we reduce the prices
on all the goods hand in order to make room for
the new ones. We cut the prices on some articles
a third off others half, ETC.; and this brings us
crowds from all round the country.

When the butter won't

churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
StomaChs.
Children take to it naturally
because they IKE the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to tic children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and

is the most satisfactory treat

HARBOR WORK
BEING PLANNED

| For the last week there have bee.
numerous surveys made of the harbol
| and the channel and many soundings
have been taken preparatory to the
work which the Board of Public Works
| intends to do improving the harbor
| and reorganizing the wharf system.
Mr.. Taylor has had charge of the
soundings in the channel and on the
bar. There is now about thirty feet
of bar water at low tide and it is
proposed to deepen the bar at least
three feet. Mr.. Weston has had charge
of the soundings in the harbor. He
ound that considerable sediment has
come down the Nuuanu stream and
filled up the harbor in some places,
but the soundings viii not be fully
completed for at least a month.
The carrying out of the work pro-
posed will make a considerable change
in the appearance of the waterfront
from Fort street to the Naval Station.
No estimate of the money necessary
to carry out the work has been fis-
ured upon yet as it will all depend up
on the loan bill recently passed by
the Les islature. The authorized bonds
we not yet been disposed of, and un
til that is done, no large amount Of
improvements can be made.
However, the improvements in view
will involve the removal of at least
a whole square on the waterfront. It
is proposed to cut slips extending back
as far as Allen street where the Rapid
Transit waterfront line now runs 50
that all the wharves as far as Fort
street will be on line with the pres
ent Naval wharves.r That means that
the present esplanade will be obliter-
ated and a new one will be formed on
Allen street.

bly, some of the lumber yards. To.
Custom House stands on property be-
tween Allen street and the waterfront.
but before this property could be Sc
cured it would be necessary to Sc
cure permission from Congress as the
in question is government
land.
However, these improvements Will
be in line with the new wharf and |
warehouses which the Oceanic Steam |
ship Co. are building. The Oceanic |
property faces on Fort and Allen |
street, crossing the face of the latter |
street.
At the other end of the harbor the
new Inter-Island Steamship Company |
wharf is being built next to the Hack |
field wharf.
Yesterday bids We're called for b. the |
Public Works Department for exteLG- |
ing Sorenson's wharf to the harbor |
line which is a little over a hundred |
feet beyond the present end of the |
wharf and in lire with the end of !
the new Inter-Island wharf. This |
VOL will be done as soon as possible |
and Il the near future bids viii be |
called for to extend the Brewer whacf |
to the harbor line in the same man |
ner as Sorenson's.
While there is enough money to car
~ on the work on these two latter
y harves, the other work extending the
wharves on the harbor front from the
Pacific Mail dock to Fort street will
nave to wait until the bonds aUthoriZ-
I'd by the last legislature are scla.
