Lieutenant f. II. %Shackelton, of the Brit
ish Navy, who is sailing for the south
pole, made a journey TO the southern re-
gions some FIVE years ago with Captain
Scott on the Discovery. On one Of the
expeditions over the ice Lieutenant
Shackleton was attacked with snowblind-
ness and had hardly enough strength to
get back to the ship with the rest of the
party. For 100 days they lived in perfect
darkness and the wind was so bitter that
occasionally their breath was blown back
in their faces ana instantly froze. In a

violently to restore circulation: but II was
dangerous to keep the glove off for more
than three minutes at a stretch. So in
tense was the cold that when on one oc-

had to drag the can off its tongue by
force.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. Aug. 24-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance Of 36o6
points and sold about z points net higher

sion on continued covering Of shorts, high

an easier money market as a result of gov
eminent funds, and complaints from Texas

At the advance which carried prices about
% to 2S points above the low level of the
week, there was considerable realizing and
fluctuations during the middle of the morn

waII street and the Country.

Without meaning 10 beIIttIe the Wall
Street scare-which has been creative
think that II was to some extent artificial
worked up, as 1t were. 1t is not difficult
for a few heavy operators to make a great
stir If they choose TO do so. But the most
interesting fact is that the country as a
whole cares little about what Is done or
thought In the street. Dispatches have
told us that the public Is inclined to keep
out of the market altogether and does not
care to put it's money In stocks Therein
the public is wise. There is another reason
why the antics OF the operators do not
greatly influence the situation, And that
Is that the movement Of stocks does not
indicate their value. A stock that pays,
says. n 6 per cent. dividend Is worth as
much to the owner-provided he does not
wish or is not forced to sell it-when its
Wall Street price is 30 as when It is 100.
The price has changed, but not the value.

In Austria, Ia the bush mother. virtuous
and high principled though she be, very
rarely passes on to her children the re-
ligion in which she was bred. As a conse-
quence of this parental attitude the innate
notions of many a bush hoy or girl con-
corning death and Immortality have almost
the same psychological value as If they
were the ideas of a native black. Whether
it be due to secularism or no. one must
admit that the growing character of Young
Australia. though promising in many re-
speets, is devoid of that austerity and self
control which is still the ideal Of the Eng

THOUSANDTH
TRIP Of kINAU
Will Be Due in 0CtOber---WOrk
on COCOanut ISIand---A
Forest Picnic.

HIL.O, August 9-Within about two
months, on October u next, when she
arrives back in Honolulu, the steamer
Kinau. of the Inter-Island Company
will have completed her one thousandth
round trip between Honolulu and Hilo
This does not include any special trips
that have been made, trips to other
island ports, or her trip made a few
years ago to San Francisco, but SIM
ply her regular runs between Honolulu
and HiIo.
The Kinau has been in this service
for more than twenty years Making
one weekly trip, or fifty-two yearly
trips, would give her a total of 9Ss
round trips in 10 years. But for long
time she sailed from Honolulu only
once in ten days, which would bring
the time occupied in this one service
beyond twenty years.
AS the length of each trip, including
regular ports of call, is 239 miles, the
total round trip is AIS miles, which, for
1000 trips, means that the Kinau win
have covered a total distance of at
least AIS, 900 miles. But when she was
making her ten-day trips, she called at
more ports and covered a longer dis
tance, so that the Kinau will really
have travelled more than half a mill
lion miles when she completes her one
round trip in October next,
during a period of rather more than
twenty years.
During this term of service the Kinau
has had four or five different captains
and two or three different engineers.
But she has always had the same pur-
ser. Admiral Beckley, who has never
left his ship except when taking we'll |
earned vacation.

COCOANUT ISLAND.


Chairman Todd of the Board of SUI.

the weather permits. leveling off the
land. blasting out some rock at the
bathing place and spreading white
sand. The prisoners will be driven
daily, to and from the island, by the
Volcano Stables, so that there will be
no cost for the work thus far. Chair
man Todd also hopes to induce the
Supervisors to make a small appropria-
ton for the repair and Encouragement

key. He also wants to erect a small
stand for the band. and an open shed
with table and seats for picnickers.

her authority. One day she sent for

she had quarreled with and dismissed
her governess. The minister grave

wish her to be beheaded? You know
it is the custom in Holland to behead
all those who are officially disgraced.

to be present at the execution, and"
