translucent blue color, notified with
white. The stones shown by Mr.. Beers
are of a blue color. quite unlike any
other known gem. It is the blue of
the summer sky after rain, and the
white blotehes seem like the fieeey,
white clouds that may be still left in
the sky after the storm has passed.
The stone is beautifully translucent,
takes fine satiny polish, and is about
the hardness of quartiz. Cut en- ca
bochon. and mounted with diamonds
of pearls, it possesses a rare and
unique beauty. 1t only occurs, in the
mines under his control, just where
the small mineral veins pinch out. That
it will take a high rank among the
gems of fashion can not be doubted
by any one who has seen the stones
that have been cut and polished.

L'ENvoI OF THE HOOKED GOWN.

When the last hooked gowns in the
ragbag, and the hooks are rusty
and bent,
When the buttoned gowns all are but
toned, and the dressmakers cease
to invent
Dark schemes to annoy poor husbands,
weary and worn and old
When our thumbs have ceased from
their aching, and our heated re-
marks grown cold,
We shall rest-and faith, we shall need
it; at peace in a golden chair
Shall Toll on a sort of throne like the
man who'd the nerve to swear,
And the man who set out with the
wrong hook and ended the game
in a fix
Shall hear the cold ice tinkling where
the drinks of the gods they mix.
There shall be no pads to confuse US,
no store shapes to get in their
place,
No foolish, silly contraptions, embroid-
cry or Irish lace;
But all the hooking we do there, on
that mythical, friendly star,
Shall be with a Sensible Harness up
the Back of Things as They Are

THE CITY OF REFUGE.
(Honaunau.l

(Honaunau.)
An offense,
The offender,
The avenger.
A mountain trail
With steep on steep,
With chasms deep,
With not a stream
To quench the thirst
Or lave the feet;
Over barren rocks,
Over sterile soil,
With clouds and mist and cold;
Then giant trees and ferns and. vines
With grateful shade and softer path.
And then an endless, sloping plain
With rock on rock,
With sudden drop and sudden rise,
With heat intense, no wind no shade.
On, on they come
The offender,
The avenger-
Gaining, losing, gaining,
Steaming, gasping, straining.
For both the weary, endless way,
The heaving chest,
Inc -palllu race,
The jagged rocks,
The bleeding feet.
! But on, on
For life,
| For death.
| A consecrated space enclosed
By wall too high, too broad to leap,
One path to left one path to right,
| One entrance to the sacred place, to
| win.
The stately palms wave signals from
afar,
Hoary breakers roar to cheer the vic.
tor on;
Stern priests stand by to save, to
check;
And safety, rest and life within.
With Life ahead,
With Death behind,
With goal in view;
With Jagged years as stepping stones,
| With heat and thirst and bleeding
| feet
IT'S but a symbol for us all.

Two brothers were once at Count Won

Two brothers were once at Count Won
Moltke 5 house at an evening party;
both were captains of the. general
staff. The general came up to
group of gentlemen, one of whom was
one of the brothers. After joining in
the conversation, he asked the latter:
''Just tell me who is that tall officer,
near the fireplace on the other side
I forget his Name "That s my
brother, your excellency,' was the
answer A smile stealing over the
generals face suggested the idea that
he had not obtained the information
he wished. Some time after, the gem
eral went to another group of people,
and there joined the officer whose
name he had inquired. Suddenly the
others saw him turning away, with the
same smile on his face. Afterward,
when they inquired from the young
officer what the general had asked him,
he replied: HE asked me who that
officer was over there ''And what
| did you say9" 81 said that he was
| nv brother.'' The general gave up
inqniring the name of the two broth
| ers for that evening.

There is every indication that, when
the American commercial delegates to
China pass through here next February,
in response to the invitation of the
chambers of commerce of the Celestial
empire, Honolulu s full allotment of
delegates will join the party. 1t is
understood that President Morgan OF
the Chamber of Commerce has deter

other prominent local men have reached
the conclusion that an excellent oppor-
tunity is being offered to get into touch
with what must in time become the
