NIGHT IN HONOLULU.

By Alfred E. Bennett, U. S. S. Preble
| When shadows call
At twilight s fall
All hearts are light and free,
For sunset breezes lift all cares
And watt them out to sea.
The golden moon
On quaint festoon
OF flowers red, a mystic sheen
Spills on the leaves
And softly weaves
Her mist veil on each scene.
Veins are full, the night is long;
The cleaning breathes a native song
Of soft, sad, pulsing melody
while evening zephyrs took all wrong
And blew it out to sea-.
Dame Prude is mute
When the mellow flute,
And the rich-toned bass guitar,
BY the God of Dance,
With polished lance,
Comes reckoning from afar.
Veins are full-red blood is warm,
Heart music spells a subtle charm,
A dreamy languor, Bacchus' own,
Around each willing heart is thrown.
To pleasure god a sweet incense
Is burned in every throbbing sense.
This pleasure dream-'tis a glorious
theme
(This place the theme exalts)-
And rhymsters strive in vain to tell
Of pulsing hearts, of bosom s swell,
Through soft Hawaii s waltz.
When viols wall
A broken tale
Of other skies, of other love,
The story old
Is here retold,
In fitting shades
Of palm-leaf blades
Sky-nodding far above.
Like stars adown the Milky Way,
Votaries of this island cline
With dance and laughter blaze the
way,
Nor note the whirling dials of
time,
Till, far into the coming morn,
A sigh of deep regret is born
That breaking day and busy strife
Should spoil this dream of love-
and LIFE.

The Training of Dogs.

Nowadays there Is a great craze
for acting dogs-dogs which come on
tie stage and do things by them
selves. In every case the trainer be-
gins by leading the dog through the
movements he has to make, and at
each lesson the trainer does exactly
the same thing in the same way and
uses the same words in giving a
command.
A dog is taught to beg by being
first backed up into a corner where
he has two walls to rest against. He
10 taught to walk on his hind legs by
by being led about in this position
while the trainer supports his front
legs. Jumping Is very easy trick
TO teach. The trainer begins by
holding a stick so low down that the
dog cannot walk under It. BY de-
grees the stick Is raised until the dog
Is compelled to jump in order to get
over 1t, and directly he does so he is
we'll rewarded. Performing dogs re-
ceive most of their food In the
shape OF rewards fer good conduct.
Every now and then one hears OF
an outcry against the cruelty "
teaching dogs to perform tricks. The
outcry may be justified il the case OF
dogs that are taught to jump over
very high obstacles. because that is
about the only kind CT trick which
can be taught with a whip. 1t is
possible to whip a dog" over a high
jump. The audience does not see
the whipper because the dog starts
his run up" out OF sight at one side
OF the stage. A whip is worse
tnan useless to the trainer who is
teaching dog to do trick in which
the animal appears to think.
A dog Is taught to apparently dis
tinguish between colors by learning
a secret signal given to him by his
trainer when he gets to the desired
color. Sometimes the signal is the
swapping OF the fingers done very
softly. and in way not noticed by
the audience. Sometimes the sig
nal Is even less noisy than that, and
consists in the clicking OF the nails
OF the thumb and first finger. Once
train a dog - pick thing up wheI
he hears the signal to do so. and you
have taught him variety OF tricks
such as adding up a sum, telling the

ABYSS Of Ocean.

More than half the surface of the
globe is hidden beneath water two
miles deep; 100000 square. miles
lie at depth of 1900 feet or
more. Many places have been
found five miles and more in depth.
The greatest depth yet sounded Is
$1,000 feet near the Island of Guam.
If Mount Everest. the world s
highest mountain were plucked from
It's seat and dropped into this spot,
the waves would still roll 1000 feet
above Its crest.
Into this terrible abyss the waters
press down with force of more than
10000 pounds to the square inch.
The staunchest ship ever built
would be crumbled under this awful
pressure like an eggshell under a
steam roller
A pine beam fifteen feet long,
which held open the mouth of a trawl
used in making a cast at depth OF
more than $4,000 feet, was crushed
fiat as II 1t had been pressed be-
tween rollers.
The body of man who should
attempt to venture to such depths
would be compressed until the flesh
was forced into the interstices of the
bones and his trunk was no larger
than a rolling pin. Still, the body
would reach the bottom. for any
thing that will sink in a tub Of water
will sink to the uttermost depths OF
the ocean.

AN ART OF SMILING.
And Lost Art at That to the
Woman With Smirk.

What charm there is in a smile, yet
what rarity these days! Many OF
us. especially women, have lost the
art. We have smiled so much and
so often to order. from n sense OF
duty, that nov the charming sponta-
neity of the act has entirely dis
appeared.
A smile to be worth anything must
net be a continuous performance. The
habi.ual smile of society Is totally
devoid of charm from its unchanging
and unbroken quality. 1t has no
more meaning than mask. Ike
which It may be removed at will.
what do society maids know. those
who are called bright. animated,
sparkling, of the genuine, the I'M
constrained smile? When the sun
breaks out of cloudy sky, then the
heavens brighten. So the suddca
light, eraditing a grave and tender
face is the glow that counts. the fash
that is irresistible.
Many a demure little mouse OF a
woman receives love where the bril-
liant society favorlte must be salts
fed with admiration, all because
some man has been caught by the
thrill of the soul-smile 1t is gift of
the gods just as beauty is or pleas
ing voice.
There are features which do not
lend themselves readily to smiles.
yet a plain face at momentary
lighting up may become irresistible
Expression can change the counte-
nance almost beyond recognition.
Nothing is more difficult 20 pain than
a smile. A grin may be photograph
ed but rarely a smile; for instead
there appears a Snug expression
which irritatos while It amuses.
The rainbow smile belongs to po-
etry. with a smile on her lip and
a tear in her eye" says Scott. This
brings to mind the sort of heroine
he loved-brave, tender, sympathetic
and exquisite. Sweeter than all is
the smile of sympathy; a word Is
said. meaning grasped, shade Of
feeling understood and instantly
comes the answering glow. 1t may
flash from the face of a stranger, yet
is always welcome and fascinating,
Often 1t sows the seeds of love.
How exquisite Is the book that
passes between mother and child. or
between man and woman who live
only for each other. The genuine
smile is a sure passport. Coming
from the heart 1t fascinates man and
woman alike.
1t coaxes me most unrelenting, it
softens ill-temper and goes twice as
far as servile tip or lordly command.
This is the heaven-sent smile. 1t
cannot be achie,ed by art; II Is the
outcome of sweet, sunny nature.

He had a friend, a detective, who

hunted him up and, first, in crafty

The detective went with Crofit at
once.
They were in the middle of the
bay, tossing along on the rough wa
ter, pounding the reef, planning just
how they would take Elkins when
they were interrupted by a long
drawn out yell.
Crofilt paused on his oars and look
ell toward the lighthouse. Then,
leaping to his feet he pointed to the
platform in the top of the tower.
There, dancing about and waving his
arms, clearly out of his mind, was
the sick man.
Il never thought of him climbing
to the light" said Croffit, as he bent
to his oars. Wen have to hurry"
Finally, when the boat was quite
near, the sick man ceased his fren-
zied dancing and yelling, and regard
ed the man in the boat.
"Ho!" he shouted, laughing wild
ly. You think you can catch me,
en-? Well, you can't. See-there's
the water and it's cool. My head is
burning. The old man lit a fire in
