Thursday morning the thermome-
tiers about town registered all the way
from 26 to 80 degrees below zero and
was considered the coldest weather

Owing to the inclemency of the
weather last Sunday, the communion

were postponed until Sunday, Febru-
ary rs. Further notice will be given
in The BLADE next week.

miles that were cut off by snowdrifts.

The Social CapItaJ.

We do not think that either Washing
ton or New York or any other city will
ever become the social capital Of the
United States as London is the social
capital of Great Britain Washington
will come much nearer to it than It
does at present, but the country is too
big to have a social capital Hordes Of
people viii come to New York to make
money, to amuse themselves, to study,
to live their lives in the least restricted
atmosphere that the country offers, but
only very rich people will come here to
find and occupy a place in organized
society. Pleasant people will always
find pleasant pIaymates here. There is
no lack of good company for everybody
that is companionable. But the charm
of New York for people who still live
elsewhere is not Is society, but in
Cts shops and shows, its sunshine, its
batting and its drinking. 1t is pleasant.
1t grows finer every day. When 1t is
finished it VIII be a marvellous city. but
hardly the social capital Of the coun-
try-Harper's Weekly.

The Hawaiian Death Prayer.

Upon the minds of such a people as
the Hawaiians were, while under their
ancient form Of religion, it was but
natural that superstition should gain a
rooted hold. The most curious and eff
fective belief to which they were made
subject was that a man can be prayed
to death, a belief that survives among
the natives to the present day. For
the success Of the tragical death prayer
it was necessary to obtain some hair
or piece Of finger nail of the intended
victim. A priest was then employed
to use incarnation and prayer for his
destruction. Always informed of the
doom that the priest was invoking upon
him, the victim generally pinned away
and died.
There is a story that an Englishman
in the service of Kamehameha l. hav-
ing incurred the displeasure of priest,
the latter proceeded to remove" him
by the death prayer process. The An
glo-Saxon, however, set up an opposi-
ton altar in derisiOn and jokingly pro-
claimed that he intended to pray the
priest to death. Alarmed at the threat
and overwhelmed at the failure of his
own incantations, the sorcerer died,
proving by his death his faith in his
religion.

which aroused the righteous indigna-

their licenses without a murmur.
Such shows require more or less po-
