THE IMPERAToR.

The maiden trip to this country of the largest steamship in the world, the 7mperator, only marks in these days the march of progress in the building and eQuipping of transoceanic liners. It is a triumph in the art of ship building and will be the queen of the Atlantic until il is outdone in com paratively a few months hence. In connection with the Imperator, how ever, it is worthy of notice that not only is it equipped with all the lux uries and attractive furnishings for the entertainment and comfort of it's patrons, but particular attention has been paid to overcoming the short comfngs of other giant ships of the high seas in the direction of safety, both in the manner of construction and in the equipment and operation of the big greyhound.
 Noticeable is the size of the big ship in comparison with other world beat CTS of their day. but also noticeable is the fact that on its trip speed was not the aim of the officials of the line, attention was paid to the warning of the presence of icebergs, full com plement of lffeboats is carried and the wireless telegraph system is in oper- atfon at all hours The Imperator to- day is the pride of the Atlantic. How long it will be able to maintain it's supremacy depends upon the speed with which other vessels can be con structed- A while ago, even when steamships of seven hundred feet in length were considered marvellous, ii was believed the limit had ben reach cd. but modern developnnt knows no limit and the thousand foot ship must he anticfpated

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
HOW OLD ARE YOU.

Face. and form, gray hairs or the lack of them, do not always tell the tale reliably Ones age need not of necessity correspond with one's years. Some die. as infants. at 80 and others die mature and rich in experience ;tI 21. The seasons one has seen revolve are not the only measure of life.
 Truly sings the poet.
 We live in deeds. not years; in
 thoughts not breathS
 In feelings, not in figures on a dial We should count time by heart throbs
 He most lives
 Who thinks most. feels the noblest,
 acts the best.
 by these standards. How much i) you think? Analyze your thought world and see how ample and worthy it is.
 As man thinketh in his heart so is he. You are no bigger and no bet ter than the mental images you have set. up You may be ranging the heav- ems, exploring the eternities, and thinking Gods thoughts after him-or cherishing no concern beyond that for a full dinner pail.
 How nobly do you feel? What mo- tiveS spur you on Are you going through the world animated by greed, by hatred. by lust for pleasure, or by love, by pity. by hope of serving your generation? The handspring of a watch regulates all its operations and the ruling purpose of man both dominates and explains his life.
 How helpfully do you act? Are your fine ideals being carried out? Are your good impulses translated into go od deeds? Are you making any contribu- ton to the welfare of your corner of the world?
 Asking these questions and trying to answer them we find whether we are living or simply existing. One can think and feel and act a great deal III a very few years. A lad of 19 may have caught the meaning of life bet ter than octogenarian.
 Methusaleh existed good many years. It is not apparent, however, that he accomplished much.
 "Methusaleh lived" and this beside, Mine hundred years and sixty mine, Had sons and daughters. and he died," The record ads no other line. Like some huge saurian on the strand Of some far-off oblivious shore He left these tracks upon the sand Of his long wanderings. nothing more.
 But when agyoung man of 33 yielded up his life upon the cross, earth's greatest career was ended. That brief life had changed the whole current of mems thinking; 1t had made all things new as regards their courage for the present and their hope for the future.
 "it is finished" said Jesus of Nezar- eth, completing the sum of his earth ly years at an age when most men are just beginning to live. How finished indeed? Finished in divine thought and word and achievement. Finished in the supreme bestoWal of power to all the sons of men.
 Every day the gates of eternity are swinging open before the feet of aged men and women. of travellers in the middle of lifes journey, and of little children. Whether they who pass on are old or young depends on the way they have grasped the great essential things. A human career is to be meas ured not for it's quantitative but for It's qualitative com pleteness. He lives longest who thinks most feels tho noblest, acts the best. Only in moral balances can one weigh the fitness of his years,

niture. than it is to raise money on railway bonds.
 As the custom now runs, those who are forced to pawnshops are made the prey of as conscienceless a set of sharks, in many instances. as ever picked the bones of the poor. Over and over again the public press has rehearsed the story of their spolia tion; how the unwary victims are made to pay at last too often to lose their principal.
 The remedy is plain and simple. Let the city lend to it's own poor. Estab fish a municipal pawnshop, with branches throughout the city. to lend money to those who need it at a reas- enable profit upon the pledging of their personal effects.
 Is not this one little bit of decent helpfulness any city might undertake without fear of graft or paternalism or any such accusation?
 The business of lending to the poor Is too vital, too near to heartbreak and suicide. to be intrusted to any private concern. It is too serious a matter for any hands except of the city itself,

upon to produce 1886 in order to Sc
cure the coveted pasteboard.
i guess It can be laid to the high
cost OF living, was the excuse offered
by one Official when approached to-
day. The Togo Msen Kaisha as well
as the Pacific Mail some months ago
increased the intermediate fare from
San Francisco to Hongkong !or Manila.
placing the rate In vessels Of the Per-
sia. Nile, China, Nippon Maru and
Hongkong Maru at SITS, instead Of
the modest $115, charged before the
increase was ordered BY the several
companies. While the rate of SITS for
intermediate and s425 for the big lin
ers remained In vogue, there was a
decided tendency on the part Of the
travelling public to pay the small
amount required and take to the big
ger boats. with the result that all In.
termediate steamers operated by both
companies passed through Honolulu
with a decidedly small crowd Of pas
sengers.
The prediction was made this morn
ing that In raising the through first
,lass rate. the traveller seeking econ.
,my will again turn to the smaller
ind cheaper liners, and that the lit
e fellows viii again come into their
OWN as a means Of transportation be-
