Catherine Montgomery, critic teacher
at the Northwest Washington Nor

persisted in the Italian earthquake.

from Rome, saying she was leaving

made to lovate her by cable, but
without result, and it is presumed

future. To prospects of that kind. the repudiation of the Russian offer would constitute for a long time to come very serious blow. The decision rests with the Turks. and 1t Is a momentous decision.
 It Is a fact that the national spirit long dead in Turkey--is being revived.
 Oratory Is playing for the first time in thirty years an important part throughout the Empire. The Consti- tuition in the first, instance was achiev- ed by the army, whose work has found able auxlliries in orators in no mean order. Not the least curious phenome- non of this revolution Is the fact that nation which had been compulsorily dumb for generations. and one of whose characteristics is often held to be taciturnity. should at a moments notice have produced a number of men whose eloquence has been of real help to their cause. And the Turks are as ready to fight now as they ever were. While the road that lies before Is nowhere easy. 1t Is everywhere pass able. :. The real friends of the Turks say that if no attempt is made to wreck the Constitution by foreign powers. the difficulties which. the Young Turks now have to face are the shadows of the enemies whom they have already conquered

Preston was a very exceptional boy and man. He was dining room boy for Mrs. Minge. the grandmother of the Minges of the present generation. and was very greatly devoted to Mrs.

But the most wonderful part OF
ali our visit was the visit to the
aquarium. There is nothing like il
anywhere else in the world, for these
fish are found only in Hawaiian wa
ters, and do not bear transporting.
Nature was in a joking mood when
she created these fish, for you never
saw such weird, misshapen things.
And when she colored them she
mixed up all the colors on her pal
cite and laid them on with no idea
save to make something unnatural
looking. But some of them were
beautiful-one fish diamonds shaped,
and brilliant yellow, another, light
blue; one wine colored, with bright
blue polka dots; tan, with dark
brown polka dots. They were striped
and barred and dotted in every con
cievable way and shape. To me it
was one of the wonders of the world.
/ have never seen jewels shine more
brilliantly than did some Of these
fish.
The Hawaiians have very pretty
custom of stringine flowers, and
making garlands to put around the
necks of their friends when they
start on a journey. | had three gar
lands of fragrant yellow flower,
like the jessamine, and almost every
one had them. Some ha6 half a doz-
en- or more around their necks and
it was pretty sigh.
/ tasted my first papaia at Homo
lulu. 1t is a green fruit, the size Of
a small cantalOupe, smooth rind, and
the interior is a dep yellow. 1t is
very sweet, and lacks the gourdy
taste our melons sometimes have,
though it is more like theFa in flavor
than any other fruit we have.
One of the passengers whom I
know best, is Mr.. Arthur Davale, of
New York. He is a graduate of
Naval Academy, and is in
the Government service in the Phil
ippines. He is a man who has trav
eled extensively both in Europe and
the Orient, and has made a most
pleasant travelling companion. Last
night we were speaking of poetry,
and ne said: THAT reminds me of
Miss Clara Mai Howe" I found that
he was in Nashville, in Government
during the Exposition. and
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1909-12-11

knew the Howes we'll, and a year OF
two later, when he was at work in
Mexico, Clara Mai, with her parents
made trip down there, at his sug-
gestion. He showed us all the sights
of Honolulu. and is going to take
Miss Buck and myself up to Tokyo
tomorrow.
A party of missionaries is on board,
going to Japan, under the Cong.
board. They know Miss Keith, my
Bible teacher at the Western. A.
Mr.. and Mrs Hill, from Nashville,
are also travelling with US, and they
know the Howes and Scovels, and
other acquaintance of mine. So l
have been very fortunate in my
travelling companions. A Mr.. Jo-
seph Donaldson is on board, and he
thinks it not unlikely that that the
DIS at home may be connections Of
his.
