MORE OPIUM

Another opium vendor was run to
earth by Chief Detective McDufie
last night, after half an hours pa
tent vigil. McDufiie had information
of an opium den near the corner Of
Kukui and River streets and last night
he took up a position, outside the
house, which commanded a view of
a downstairs room, in which it was
alleged that opium was sold After
awhile McDuffie saw a Chinaman en-
ter and get an opium pipe and some
opium from Tai Kau, whereupon the
place was raided A tin containing
about SO worth of opium was seized
besides the usual paraphernalia. Two
Chinese were placed under arrest and
charged with furnishing opium, but
the hearing of the cases went over
until Friday next.

SUNDAY SELLING
ACT OF MERCY

The seven Chinese who were ar
rested on Sunday for breaches of the
Sunday closing law were all let off
with caution this morning, though
in one case the defendant escaped en-
tirely. Deputy City and County At
torney Brown being satisfied on the
evidence that the admitted sale was
an act of mercy, or at least so he
characterized it.
This was in the case of All Ting,
charged with selling one yard OF
cloth, valued at five cents, to young
Hawaiian girl. The girl admitted buy
ing the cloth from the defendant. She
had a sore wrist and wanted a piece
of linen to wrap round it, so she went
into the store and gave the defendant
five cents for a yard. She took just
what she wanted and left the balance
of the yard in the shop. Attorney
Charlie Chillingworth appeared for
the defense and admitted these facts,
whereupon Brown asked for the de-
PENDANTS discharge, which Judge ].
NJ. Montsarrat granted.
The other Chinese were also repre-
sented by Chillingworth and all enter
ed plea of guilty. Brown stated
that in view of the plea of guilty and
in view of an understanding under
which, he was informed, the defend
ants thought they were entitled to
sell fresh pork after five in the even
ing, he would ask that sentence be
suspended, at the same time warning
the defendants and others who might
be laboring under the same misunder-
standing, that no excuses would be ac.
cepted in future. Judge Montsarrat
concurred and defendants were per-
mitted to depart

THE JAPANESE WIFE


From the time the Japanese wife
leaves the house Of her father her
life is completely severed from it's
old connections and given over to
her husband The bride assumes
an attitude of meek submission to-
ward all her new relations-in-law.
AS an unmarried girl her life has
been singularly happy and care free.
She has reveled in festivals and Won
derful kimonos of all the bright col
ors of the rainbow, her unfailing mer-
riment sign of her light-hearted-
ness.
Being married she must turn her
back upon all these simple pleasures.
She goes in a white kimono Cthe
color of mourning) from her fathers
house, to signify that she no longer
lives for his own familq. Very Of
ten she goes to live in the same
house with her husbands parents.
No matter how many servants she
chief servitor of her husband and
his relatives. Immediately upon her
arrival her mother-in-law takes it for
granted that she will submit to be
ruled by her and at once proceeds
to exact implicit obedience from her.
The bride yields meekly, as obedi-
ence is one of the greatest of Japa-
nese virtues.
If her husbands people do not
live in the same house with her, it
is only when they come to visit her
that she is able to show them the
Difference and respect that are due
from her. She hastens to receive
them, showing great solicitude for
their health and comfort, and waits
upon them herself, passing the in
evitable tea cups, as she kneels be-
fore them
In the morning the wife must rise
before even the lowest servant, as
| it is her duty to open the house and
call the family and servants as we'll
She must supply her husbands
wants and wait upon him as he eats.
When he is ready to leave the
house, she follows him to the door,
accompanied by all the servants,
sending him off with blessings and
compliments.
AS regards her dress as a wife, she
at once assumes quiet and staid col
ors, discarding altogether the gaudy
raiment of her girlhood
It is an old saying that the Japa-
nese girl resembles bird of para
disc, the wife a dove and the widow
crow; this last assertion made be-
cause, should her husband die, the
widow wears the most gloomy and
ugly colors and shaves her head in
order to display her grief
The housekeeping Is simple and
servants faithful, and her flial and
wifely duties are her greatest cares.
Etiquette requires so much of her
in this respect, however. that it is
well she has not the added worries
of the servant problem.

Rear Admiral Schley told a group
of friends that, although he had been
in a great many tight places, it never
seemed to him but once that missile
was really tagged with his name. 1t
was not long after he had left the
Naval Academy at Annapolis, and
he was engaged in naval operations
on the Mississippi during the CivaI
War.
'In one of the many fights we had
with the Confederates on Shore" said
the Admiral, 81 was on the deck of a
gunboat attending to my part of the
duty, when q bullet grazed my face.
1t carried away the mustache from
the right side of my lip and passed
on, striking a Sergeant of marines
and breaking his arm. | did not look
up that bullet; but I felt sure that it
had my number. 4 believe that fellow
was shooting at me- l remarked to
another officer, and, do you know, for
long time I was actually sure that
such was the case"

CIGARETTE FACTS.

Cigarette smoking among private
soldiers in the years following the
Crimean war could not have been ex-
cessive. The art of cigarette-roll-
ing was then practiced by very few,
and in 1857, when ready-made cigar
cites we're first placed on the Lon
don market, the cheapest were sold
at the rate of twelve for one shilling.
All the early cigarettes were fitted
with card mouthpieces, an inch long,
and contained less tobacco than
those retailed nowadays at five for a
penny. These cigarettes we're al
ways sold in boxes adorned with
chromos of pretty faces, mounted
either on velvet or on looking glass,
which also ran away with money. AL
together, cigarettes in those days
were an expensive luxury, and GER
tainly beyond the reach of Tommy
Atkins.
There are still men who insist on
rolling their own cigarettes as they
want them, though it is becoming
more difficult to procure the packet
of cigarette papers. One has heard
of cowboys in Texas who could steer
mustang at full gallop with one hand
and roll a cigarette with the other
There is an eminent artist who
draws pictures for Punch with the
left hand while he rolls cigarettes
with his right. If you offer him Q
