There are several perplexing COM
plieations in the Panama canal job. 1t
has been q great task to select oompe-
tent and practical engineers who will
be willing to work on the spot instead
Of at arms length in comfortable
offices in Washington. The President
Is determined there shall be no per
iunctory work on this great enterprise
and he has secured the country for the
best men who can be found. Those
selected give great satisfaction to both
parties, and demoaats, as wen as
republicans, are thanking the Presi-
dent for bis independence, wisdom and
sagaciiy.--Before the money can Be
paid to Panama there viii have 70 De
congressional action, since the spooner
act requires that the money shall be

The suit which Colombia has begun
against the French canal company,
must cause delay, in the matter Of
obtaining a clear title to the property.
1t is expected that one Of the first
contracts given ont by the canal COM
missioners win be for machinery to
the amount of fifty millions Of dollars.
This ought to keep a very large num-

To Be Depended On
Because 1t Is the Experience
of a Honolulu Citizen and
Can Readily be In
vestigated.

A stranger lost in a large city would
place far more dependence on the di-
rections given him by local resident
than the guidance of another stranger
like himself. This is a natural conse-
quence of experience: it's like a ship
n strange port-a rusty ptlo. sani-
liar with the harbor is always called
upon to bring her safely to her moor
ings- So it is with endorsement; we
doubt the sayings of people living at a
distant point because we can't fnyesti-
gate. but public expression of local
citizens can be depended upon, for it's
an easy matter to prove it. Evidence
Ike the following is beyond dispute:-
Mr.. w. f. Williams of this city, is a
lighthouse keeper, and he has held this
position for the last 80 years. He says:
was Tor a number of years. one of
that numerous army OF people who
suffer with their backs. Mine ached

periences for the benefit of others who

BURNS AND CUTS.-Slight injuries
Of this character are of frequent occur
renee in almost every household. While
they are not dangerous, except when
blood poisoning results from the injury,
they are often quite painful and an
noying. They can be quickly healed
by applying Chanberlain's Pain Balm.
1t allays the pain almost instantly and
heals the injured parts without matter
being formed, which insures a cure in
one-third the time that the usual treat
ment would require. It is the most
perfect preparation in use for burns,
scalds, cuts, bruises and like injuries.
1t should be applied with feather,
and before the parts become swollen if
possible. For sale by All Dealers. Ben

WalkeSI De1Ore me tnOu art beautiful as
the spreading peacock.
..Oh, LaIi. Oh. beloved. Thy fore
head is as the new moon. and thy face
like the rising sun for gloryl.
So the swain goes on for half ar
hour enumerating the beauties and
graces of her body and her character
When he is quite certain that he has
left nothing out, he gets down to bust
ness.
.'Oh, Lalil can give five bracelets OF
fine silver, two bullocks and three dom
keys as the price for thee. 1 win work
for thee. and for thy father and mother
and all thy house. forever
Negotiations with the father ensue
and if the terms are satisfactory, the
marriage is arranged. The young
people cannot marry out of their caste
and rank in life without becoming out
casts.
If the man is a washerman he must
wed a washerwoman. And they have
both descended from a countless line OF
washing ancestors. 1t is the same with
the barber, the potter, the farmer and
all the other trades and professions
Love-making in the dhoby class is
conducted in a curious way. The young
people meet at the river or at the full
Ier's ground where they wash the cloth
es, and fall in love.
They may not speak directly to one
another, but they sing love songs in
which they enumerate the others vir-
tues and graces and express their own
feelings. Here are two of these songs,
as they were taken down by Babu Pam
dian, an educated Hindoo:
She: "Oh, thou young man, black as
oil, sweet as sugar cane,SI cannot ever
forget thy face. Whenever I think of
thee, I become useless to do the work of
my parents.
Thy love makes me uneasy in the
day and restless in the night. MY
mother has promised to give me the
young and beautiful colt as my dowry,
and my father has promised me the
right of washing the clothes of the
whole village when he gets old and
helpless, for am the only daughter to
my father.
81 saw thy footprint and the footprint
of thy black donkey, and my heart was
glad. When will the day come in which
I may get a handful of betel nuts from
thy hands?" CThis is a marriage rite.)
He: ''Oh, swami oh, dovel Thy
love kills me. can give my four dom
keys as a price for thee. I will work
for thy father and for thee all the days
of my life.
IF have thee in my house there is
no need for a light. On, thou dove!
show me thy face in the waters by my
side to remove the gloom of my
thoughts .
This seems fairly direct courtship, but
rs a matter of fact, the lovesick young
sters have not spoken to each other
they have sung with an air of careful |
lnconsciousness of each others pres |
nee and there is nothing on the sur
face to show to whom the songs re-
erred.
But their parents notice their mutual |
affection, and, If the match is a salts |
factory one, arrange for them to be |
married and set up in the profession of
5illage dhobies.

A PATRIOTIC MAN.

While the memorial exercises were
in progress yesterday the red. wsite
and blue emblem Of freedom at half
mast floated to the breeze from its
staff on the school house above the
crowd. This was the first time the
flag had floated over the public school
for many months. Nearly a year ago,
through carelessness in taking down
the flag the halyards were allowed to
run down and since that time no one
has exhibited sufficient energy or
town pride to replace them. So the
flag.-a beautiful affair purchased by
the school children-has been slowed
away all these months. A stranger
passing the school house on a national
holiday might have noticed the empty
flag staff and wondered what use 1t was
put to-whether IT was placed there for
ornamental purposes, or was piece OF
timber left over when the building was
constructed and nailed there by the
constructors who did not think it would
pay to carry II away. The children
might have forgotten that the Nation
had an emblem. but for the patriotism
OF Mike Kaiser. Mr. Kaiser was one
of the brave men who fought under that
flag during the civil war, that the en-
blem might float forever over an un-
divided country. Yesterday morning
when he noticed the absence OF the flag.
he secured the services of a climber,
and paid him from his own pocket, to
scale the staff, place the halyards and
hang the flag in tsproper place.
Mr.. Kaiser deserves the thanks oi all
patriotic townspecple.
