The Perfect Taboo.

The ten commandments, as appre-
hended by the white man in their eth
ical splendor, are not so apprehended
by the black man when God tiles him
with ten tying" in the "early morn
ing" of his Christian day. They are
not then to him the expression of
ideals; they are facts, definite laws of
abstainings, of omission and commits
sion. They are the Eldorado of ia
boo. They replace with great calm
the agitations of the experimental eff
forts of the past, when everything was
at stake and nothing was sure; when
man was exhausted in his effort to fill
his side of the contract, but might
never count upon the party of the sec
ond para.
In this they are emancipating they
are the way of escape from a man
made yoke. Given Father-God, there
is no greater benefit that he could have
conferred upon our pragma4c Bulu
than ten explicit tyings. The prac-
tice of the law promises at first to be
an exact science-the perfect taboo
for which our Bulu has blindly
searched and which is here given him
with the marks of divine authority.-
Jean Kenyon Mackenzie in the At
lantic.

Meerschaum as BUILDING Material

The army now forms a large part
of the population of Honolulu. Its
uniforms are seen at all formal al
fairs; in fact, the companies that as
semble in Honolulu are often far more
brilliant than are to be met in main
land cities. The social code of Homo
lulu is strict, and formality demands
a regard for the rules that have been
found necessary for the common good
of society everywhere. The city of
Honolulu is divided into social dis
tricts, all of the women of the same
neighborhood receiving on the same
day.
Stranger Not Held Aloof.
The stranger must needs yield ref
erence to entitle him to entry into the
conservative circle of social Honolulu.
The stranger, however is not held
aloof. Every opportunity is afforded,
whenever possible, for the stranger to
mingle on equal terms with the resi-
dents. The outdoor life favors such
mingling-the life around the hotels,
the sea beaches, the homes with their
wide-open porches or ''lanais," as the
inslanders term them; the town clubs
and country clubs, the army posts, the
varied forms of public amusement. All
these tend to bring the stranger into
the midst Of the social life of the
capital.
There is the "srlart set" there is
the conservative set; there is the
royalty set; there are many social
circles in Honolulu. Among the most
active entertainers are the Princess
Kawananakoa, beautiful part-Ha-
waiian woman of culture and brilliant
accomplishments, and Prince and
Princess Kalanianaole prince Cupid

That is one side of the social activi-

customs of habit and precedence have

of King Kalakaua and Queen Liliuo-

"Are You Mr.. Fletcher"

he had refused to dabble in inSipid
stocks and cheat his clients. The re-
suit was, his specious business rivals
outstripped him. One thing he con-
graduated himself on-he was loyal
and honest with his clients. His COM
petitOrs sneered at him, but they had
to acknowledge that he bore the clean
est record among them all.
One night Fletcher ran across a
wretched, staggering wreck of a man.
1t was John Ward. He pitied the
forlorn fellow, took him to his office,
sobered him, let him sleep there
nights, bought him a decent suit of
clothes and got to liking him. As to
Ward. he turned out true-blue. He
appreciated fully the friendly interest
of Fletcher, turned his back on strong
drink. and insisted on helping his ben
efactor. Fletcher finally paid him a
few dollars a week salary, and when
he made a commission, divided it with
him.
Now the crisis had come. Business
had turned exceedingly bad. Fetch
er was worn with anxiety and work.
He was forced to announce his reso-
luton TO abandon the unequal fight.

humdrum village, and Fletcher was
ambitious. Besides, as a matter of

MA bouffe kingdom of Hawaii
" " Succumbed TO the law of
destiny in 1893, when the
reigning queen was deposed and re-
public set up, and five years later
when the republic became a territory
of the United States of America, the
romance Of the old-time government
disappeared with the furling of the
beautiful Hawaiian flag. But the old,
moonlit nights still remain the same
Incompatible climate still enthralls,
and the tinkle and the strum of the
ukulele and guitar are heard beneath
the cOconut palms as the native Ha-
waiianS sob their ear-haunting melo-
dies, writes a special correspondent of
the Christian Science Monitor from
Honolulu.
No longer is the old palace filled
with diplomatists of foreign stations;
distinguished generals, admirals, writ
ers and playfolk are no longer re-
ceived in the old throne room by
Hawaiian king and queen. OF all the
old regime, there still remains only
the deposed queen, Liliuokalani, liv-
ing a still eventful life in Washington
place, the home of her husband, the
prince consort; home filled with rel
les of the days of royalty; reminders
of the days when King Kalakaua was
the monarch, and she queen herself,
during a brief reign of two years.
Today, however, the queen is hon
Ored in Washington place and else
where as if she sat upon the throne of
old Hawaii. On Hawaiian holidays, on
her birthday and many other occa-
sions, she receives in semiroyal state !;
the guests are ushered into her draw
ing room by the same officers who Off
ciated when she was in the palace !;
the introductiOns are made by the
same courteous gentleman who offici-
ated as chamberlain during her reign !;
