RUSSIAN WEDDINGS.
The Part the Brides Brother Plays
In the Ceremony.

In the Ceremony.
In no country in the world, says the
author of "Wooings and Weddings In
Many Climes," is the tie between broth
er and sister closer than it is in Rus
sia. The brother is regarded as her
guardian equally with the father and
as her protector even more.
In many districts when the groom
comes to claim his bride her brother
places himself beside her and with a
stout stave or Il drawn sword prevents
the grOoms approach. The twain Of
ten engage in much poetical barter, in
which the bride incites her brother to
extort a goodly price for herself, her
veil and her beauty.
Upon the wedding day the groom
comes to her parents house and claims
his bride. Then there is touching lit
tie bit Of ceremony, one of those pretty
human comedies which are called emp
ty shows and forms,' but are written
in warm, tender emotions.
The maiden kneels before her parents
and asks them to pardon her for any
and every offense toward them of
which she may ever have been guilty.
They lift her up and kiss her; then they
together offer her bread and salt, which
signifies that while they live they will
not see her lack the nccessaries Of life
When she leaves the house its door
is left open to signify that she may re-
turn when she will; that her girilloods S
home is still hers.

SUNDAY ADVERTISER.

The thousands of readers of the Sun
day Advertiser have come to expect a
good short story as its leading feature.
Tomorrow, as was the case last week
and many times before, they will find
some excellent fiction. This time the
story, "A Good Samaritan" is full of
rollicking humor and everything comes
out right in the end.
Battle Prayers TO a Merciful Cod
by Charles Battel Loomis, is another
interesting feature-one that will Sc.
people thinking.
A most amusing poem "The Popular
Song viii round out the special mis-
eellany features.
There viii be the usual number of
good local stories. supplemented by the
departmental work of the entire corps
of writers and by The Bystander. With
its complete news columns, it's late
cable matter, its commercial, shipping
and society review. the paper bids for
every reader of English in the Terri

IMPROVING WASTE LOTS.

The waste lot park system, started
by Secretary Atkinson while he was
Acting Governor, has not been carried
out as yet to the full extent proposed.
The gore lot has been grassed over and
looks very well, but the Bishop street
block is still unkempt though water
has been piped to it and the land
leveled for turf Conspicuous as the
place is, it ought to have early atten-
tion from the authorities.
Other places about town invite sim
liar Identification. There is an I'M
kempt lot at the corner of Beretania
and Nuuanu street where the old Mac
farlane hotel stood which the labor of
few convicts would turn into a beau
fy spot. On Kapiolani street, the town
side of Thomas Square, and the small
er of two vacant lots at Punahou ST..
and Wilder avenue, there are good OPP
portunities, if the owners do not OBJ
ject, to substitute grass for weeds.
This project of making the waste
lots bloom is criticised in Hiio as one
10 improve private property at public
expense. But the owners get no par
ticular benefit from the work; the value
comes to the town as whole, which
thus rids itself, at very small cost In
deed, of unsightly corners.

BEACH LOTS FOR PARK.

The one thing lacking in the ground
plan of Kapiolani Park is a frontage
on the beach. a place where, without
intrusion upon private holdings or the
obligation to spend money for the con-
venfences of hotel property, the public
may go for seaside enjoyment.
Luckily the Government owns sea
frontage, facing the park, which might
be added 10 the public pleasure ground
This is the large area including the
Kanst Ieasehold, the Aquarium, ETC., in
the pleasantest part Of Waikiki.
Thrown into one tract it would be a
park in itself. beautifully shaded ana
with good beach; and added to Ka-
piolani park it would give Honolulu
one of the most satisfactory of pleas
re-grounds.
There is, however, no legal authority
for the Governor or the Legislature 10
make over public property for park
purposes though the Government may
sell Or exchange such property. It
would De a misfortune IL Inc oeden
lots were ever lost to the public in
this way, and to safeguard them it is
proposed to ask Congress, through the
Delegate, to amend the Organic Act
so as to enable the authorities to add
the shore acreage noted to the park
to be put to public use when the leases
covering the larger part of it shall ex-
pire. This course. if taken now, will
prevent the sale or exchange of the |
and reserve it for recreation
purposes.
