IN LiFE'S BRIEF SPAN.
Experiences, Joys and Sorrows Of the
Human Existence.

The loves and friendships of indi-
viduals partake OF the frail character
Of human life, and are brief and un-
certain. The experience Of human
life may be shortly summed up: A
little loving and good deal Of sor-
rowing; some bright hopes and many
bitter disappointments; some gor-
geous Thursdays when the skies are
bright and the heavens blue, when
Providence. bending over us in bless.
ings, glads the heart almost to mad
ness; many dismal Fridays, when the
smoke Of torment beclouds the mind
and undying sorrows gnaw upon the
heart; some high ambitions and many
Waterloo defeats, until the heart be-
comes like a charnel house filled with
dead affections, embalmed in holy
but sorrowful memories; and then
the chord is loosed, the golden bowl
is broken, the individual lfe-a cloud,
vapor, passes away.-Matthew Hale

OLD SOAkERS

When person has used coffee for a
number of years and gradually de-
clined in health, it is time the coffee
should be left off in order to see
whether or not it has been the
cause of the trouble.
A lady in Huntsville. Ala. says She
used coffee for about 40 years, and for
the past 20 years has had severe
stomach trouble. Il have been treat

she was over IS.

The extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch

terry in Chicago.

Chicaeo.-Two among the IL bodies
buried for more than 20 years in The
little private cemetery beside the sem
mary of the Ladies' of the Sacred
Heart have been touched by the mys-
tic hand of nature and petritied.
Recently the graves of the clustered
nuns, most of whom had spent the
greater portion of their lives within
the walls of the brick building at
West Taylor and Lytle streets. were
opened. and all that remained of their
bodies removed to permanent rest
ing place. in Calvary. But the under
takers met different state of affairs
when the graves of Mother Galway.
the founder of the Chicago seminary,
and Mother Gauthreaux. her success
sor. were opened.
Both Mother Galway and Mother
GauthreauX had been buried in metal
lie caskets. An increased number of
assistants was obtained by the un-
dertaker in charge on this account.
but when the men sought to raise the
collins the task was one which taxed
their strength to the utmost. Neither
casket had survived the test of time
perfectly. and that in which Mother
Gauthreaux was buried was badly
crushed. Because of the tremendous
weight the caskets were opened and
startling state of affairs discovered.
There was the body of each woman
almost exactly as it had appeared the
day the Casket had been closed and
lowered into the earth beside the sem
mary. When member of the ladies'
of the Sacred Heart is buried she is
clothed in the same black habit she
wore during life. Instead of the silver
cross on her breast small wooden
one is placed there and nothing
metallic is allowed to remain Then
the folds of the black veil are care
dead nun.
When the wondering nuns looked
upon the bodies of Mother Galway
and Mother GauthreauX the little
wooden cross was gone with the pass
ing of the years, and the features

the veil was placed over the face
were no longer visible. But the out.
line of the figures was there as per-
feet as ever. Every line of the body
that had been visible 20 years ago
was still there. and the color of the
black habit gave the somber hue to
the solid figure weighing more than
1000 pounds. where both of the
women had been but slight in stat
ure during life and weighing hardly
more than 100 pounds
For moment the nuns of the insti-
tuition were allowed to contemplate
the wonders nature had wrought with
the bodies of their predecessors. They
saw where the familiar white cap had
crumbled away, as had the texture of
the habits, leaving only a solid figure
as IL hewn out of ivory.
Then the bodies of the dead nuns
were incased in new caSkets and they
were borne to Calvary to the little
plot where the sisters of the instltu-
tion now bury their dead.

1t is curious that philanthropists
in search of novel means of doing
good do not engage reciters and story
tellers to visit hospitals and amuse

for the first time.
The two children were happy as the
Gay was long. In the late afternoon
they watched the COWS come home,
heard with delight the tinkling cow
bells. and the little boy even went to
the barns to see the milking done.
At supper. just as Dorothy was lift

cried out:
"Oh, Dotty, don't! You mustn't drink

HAWAII LUMBER FOR

George Lycurgus returned from Ha-

Milling ohia is a comparatively new
departure for the company but 1t

For years this wood has been used for
railway ties in the Territory and in the

pins. Having it's habitat in moist
climate the wood will resist the most
severe atmospheric conditions and will
not warp. That it presents an appear

Most of the debate took place on the
question of the advisability of so many
trips across the channels, with hurried
jaunts here and there on land. instead
of the understood business of the Oahu
committee.
Sam. Parker did not think the Wis
itors would take kindly to the lively
itinerary planned.
Senator Chillingworth thought it too
strenuous.
Mr.. Giffard said the visitors would
not stand for it, especially after they
became wise to the character of the
channels.
Geo. Beckley did not believe there
was time TO carry out the Kauai ex-
cursion as detailed.
Senator Lane said he moved for the
ST., 400 appropriation in the Senate and
to secure it's passage the members from
the other islands had to be promised
that their places should be visited. He
considered this committee had nothing
to do with the general plan.
Secretary Atkinson referred to the
familiar complaint that Honolulu
hogged everything. This scheme was
laid out to eliminate that grievance.
J. A. McCandless, in the midst of the
discussion, made rattling fine speech
to urge that the aim should be to give
the visitors good time and save them
from the recital of local grievances.
At length the discussion died out and
some necessary business was done.

ing subcommittee and then the
meeting adjourned:
