II has never forgotten its missionary origin, and, besides its local mission? to the Chinese and Japanese, main tains missions of its own in the Orient. Many of the local establishments are due to the generosity of the old Hawaiian nobility, and will preserve their memories in respect when their frailties are forgotton. The houses are for the most part plain, suited to the climate, without cellars or chim neys, but with generous verandas. It is not a place where the housewife will take much comfort. Notwith standing the fertility of the soil when irrigated, fruit, vegetables—in fact, all local products—are surprisingly high; meats are very poor, and the cost of imported articles is of course not low. With intelligence and a garden much can be done, but the town-dweller's lot here is difficult. The servants are chiefly Orientals. Unfortunately, the hotels and restau rants are vory inferior, and the so journer must put up with poor food and service, at prices which at first seem quite unreasonable. American enterprise will soon remedy the worst of these annoyances, and the self-in terest of the local population will in time take care of the rest.—Corre spondence in New York Post. A Coca Chewer. One of the scientific explorers who has been working in the coca region of Bolivia, told me of his experience with a coca chewer. "A man was em ployed by me," he said, "in very la borious digging. During the five days and nights he was in my service he never tasted food and took only two hours' sleep each night, but at inter vals of two hours and a half or three hours he repeatedly chewed about half an ounce of coca leaves and kept an 'acullico' continually in his mouth. I was constantly beside him, and there fore bad the opportunity of closely observing him. The work for which I had engaged him being finished, ho accompanied me on a two days' jour ney across the level ground. Though on foot, he kept the pace of my mule and halted only for tie chaccar (chew ing). On leaving me he declared that he would willingly engage himself again for the same amount of work and that he would go through it with out food if I would but allow him n sufficient supply of coca. The village priest assured me that this man was sixty-two years of age and that he had never known him to be ill in his life." —W. E. Curtis, in Chicago r.ecord, A "Dietary" Lunclieou.

Wilfred Campbell has a poem in the Toronto (Holts on"The Lasarus of Empire," which strikes aouriouß note:] The CeK., ne is proud in his protest, The Scot, he is calm in his place, Vor each has a word in the ruling and doom Of the empire that honors his race; And the Englishman, dogged and grim, Looks the world In the face as he goes, And he holds a proud lip, for be sails his own ship, And he oare* not for rivals nor foes; But lowest nud last, with his areas vast, And horizon so servile and tame, Bits the poor Deifsar Colonial Who feeds on ihe crumbs of her fame. H« knows no plass In her councils, He holds no part in the word That girdles the world with Its thunders When the Oat of Brltaia is heard; He beats no drjms to her battles, He gives no triumphs her name, Bat lowest and last, with his areas vast, He fedds on the crumbs of her fame. How long, O how long, the dishonor, The servile and suppliant plaoe'/ ▲re we Britons who batten upon her, Or degenerate sons of the race'/ It is souls that make nations, not numbers, As our forefathers proved In the past, Let us take up the burden of empire, Or nail our own flag to the mast, Does she eare for us, value us, want us, Or are we but pawns in the game; Where lowest and last, with our areas vast, We teed on the crumbs of her fame? ITriwFj LBY K. CHER. X ▼▼W ▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼ WW Publishers say a story must be a "utory" and what they tueau by this yon can decide for yourself after com paring their demands with what they publish. The best I can make of it is that they expressly take pains to disguise what they really want, all thoir demands being for the purpose • of stimulating the writer to exert himself; then they use their own pri vate judgment, which is another thing from their printed demands, in select ing from the coutributions. When a reader brings three things together, which should harmonize, the resnlt ia a distressing discordance: (1) The publishes' high and mightv demand for the best that the present brain of the earth can produ -e; (2) j What they publish and tacitly declare to be such; (3) What we all know to be real literature, from the pens of 1 some who have gone before. The publisher (I) demands a ra;e horse (3) and accepts a rat. (2) Herewith I have no "story" to s;iit these requirements, hut according to iny view I have a discovery worth making known. I make no attempt to fill the aforesaid re jnirements, for i the principal reason that I will not write to order for any man on earth, and I don't believe any worthy litera ture in the "story" line wan ever pro duced in that way. My li erary work is consistent with my creed that a man's best productions will be ou lines congenial to him. I say I have a dis covery. W ho am I? This is the publishers' demand. If I have no "uauie," no "rep." my dis covery is nothing to thorn. But it is to ine, and will be to you, friend reader, if you are ail ordinary mortal striving to live this life that is put upon us, and occasioualiv wondering what is the meaning of it all. It happened, one day, when I was worried almost to desperation by the problems which beset everybody, in one shape or another, iu this stiding struggle to get the better of one's fellows, that circumstances accident ally flung ine upon a twenty mile walk, from one town to another. I walked a mile, and my grievances arose to feaiful distinctness in my mind. I walked two miles, ami pos sible solutions begau to appear. At the end of 15th mile, I sat down at the foot of a pine in a pine forest, drew a long breath of relief from the physical exertion, aud su ldenly won dered what it was all about—what on earth had beeu badgering me so. The low, mysterions, world-forget ting voice of the pines surrounded me instead of the hubbub of human conteution, and the sun smiled down over the great earth in eternal cheer fulness. I spurred up my unwilling recollec tions, recalled the worst of my griev ances, and lo! They wore too insigni ficant to trouble one of the ants that rau over the ground under the pines. It all amounted to nothiug! Nothing! I had no grievanoe. As for those who were the cause of these sham grievances, the reasons for noting as they did now, for the first time, be came apparent. They, too, like my self, were under the trial aud pressure of elbow-jostling struggle, au 1 acted not from any special antipathy to me, but to save themselves. Our motives were very similar. I never should have seen it without this accidental isolation and ba'anc ing physical exertion. I would have kept right on blindly butting my liea I against the wall. And before going any fnrther, let me state plainly that that is my discovery. If you are worried, take a 20 mile walk. There was a yellow haired girl at the bottom of all my sometime griev ances. She was rich and I was poor, j but perceiving what seemed to be rare harmony in our natures, I had gathered my resources, braced mysjlf for the accusations of a sordid motive, and boldly entered the lists for her hand. What further acquaintance I had been able to make with her seemed to confirm my the >ry of har monious natures, and perhaps I I e ctmt too confident. At auy rate a slight rebuff, as I constructed it, from herself, brought me up to the wind, nautioslly sneaking, all shaking, and emphasized the enormity of my pre sumption. At the end of these fifteen miles my individuality returned, an 1 while re linquishing all thought, of posses 13 Bessie, I could not allow that she was one whit too good for me. And she need not look to me for feeble-minded "hopeless devotiou" business. I had made my advance, been rebuffed by the only one whose rebuff I consid ered material—herself—and now she was nothing more thau a cipher ia my affairs. She might go her ways,marry whom she might choose, or not marry, or die, or live. It was all the same to me. She was now but a cipher in my affairs, whether visible or not. Having thus stoutly made up my mind, the sudden appearance and hail of the identical subject of my thoughts confused me again. The public highway was in plain view from where I reclined, but such was my position that probably not more thnn one passer in ten would notice me. There came by a group of bicyclers, mostly girls. All passed with their gaze straight in front except the last, who was obliged to turn her eyes to me, by what I am convinced was some occult magnetism, and nearly fell in consequence. As it was, she had to dismount to prevent a fall. When she regained her equilibrium, she cft!led in a half jesting way— "Are you trying to kill me?" I hadn't done a thing. But this was not exactly what confused mi, It was the discovery of au oversight in my deep cogitations. Iu the a'sence of the persou.l had forgotten feminine softness, sweetness aud compliance as opposed to masculine strength and sternness. I had waxed bitter against her in her absence, when it would have been impossible in her presence. Bittarness could no more survive in her presence than frost iu a noonday sun. Bessie was a blonde of full average height, and perhaps above average weight. There was nothing sickly about her. But she was a woman, and not to be hated as mau against man. I did not reply because I could not get my thoughts in shape iu time. "How did you get here?" she asked. "Oh, I came in a canal boat," I an swered nonchalantly. Her laugh was pleasant. I like to have a parson laugh at my little jokes, even if only in politeuess. I can easily detect, in the ring of the laugh ter, what it i j . "3eoige is anything wrong?" She was serious enough 1 "w, aud I saw wh ;re 1 had been a hot-headed fool to think she had scorned me. I couldn't speak a word. What under the heavens is the use of logic, any way, when it always fails a mau when it comes to tlia test? Only three minutes ago, it was: She might go her ways and marry whom she might choose, or not marry, or die or live; it was all the same to me. And what incensed me the more now, was the fact that I had been per fectly cool in mind, a delioerate fool. Still, had it not been for these 15 miles, I should have been a worse fool, for the sight of her would not have brought me to my senses. Now I ( hanged the soliloquy into: She might go her ways but I would always heartily wish her well, whether I became auy feature in her existence or uot. "Won't you come aud see us this evening?" "Yes," I answered, at last getting my voice. "Then.au revoir." And she mount ed and sped a:'ter the other bicyclers. Oh, I kuow that I am au ordinary mortal, and nothing exceptionally grand, friend reader; you need not tell me that. But there are lots of us in the same boat, and what has helped one will be of value to another. There is no possible doubt that the 20 mile walk was a turning point in my career, aud therefore I earnestly recommend it. Oh, certainly; she's my wife now. STATISTICS OF THE INDIANS. Tlieir Number# K*tlinate<l at 250,000 350 Schoold Maintained for Them. Uncle Sam's new direotory of the Indian tribes shows that the parlor car companies aud the apartment house builders have still a big fund of names, euphonious and otherwise, to draw from, although, in running down the list, it is seen that there are lim its to the selection of ludian names. No oue, for instance, would want to live in the Two-Kettle Sioux apart ments, aud some objections might be made to names like Winibeg >shish, Hnmptulip and Mucklesboat, but there are many Pottawatomie, Mari copa, Menoiuoueo, Nomeluckie, Pem bina, Piankeshaw, Shoshone, Ton kawa and Wvlackie, which, if they do not appeal to the namers of parlor car* and apartn ent houses, ought to keep those American horse owners who name thoir thoroughbreds by fantastic and inane systems. Such seekers for names are referred for detailed iuformation to the "Statistics of Indian Tribes, Indian Agencies and Indian Schools," for 1899, issued by the government priuting office. This handbook gives the name of 71 Indian agencies and 350 tribes, with statistics of 350 schools, including agency day schools, independent day [ schools, reservation boarding schools and non-reservation boarding schools.

The', light silks are to be used all through the winter —of course not for street wear—while some heavy silks, satins, crepons, are trimmed with white lace, and have quite as light and airy an effect as though they were intended to wear in July and August. For street wear, blaok and brown —a warm shade of brown —are considered especially WONDEBFUL IN OUT ABE THE NEW fashionable colors. The most stylish house gowns are made of French flan nel. But never before at this time of year have so many light grays and tan cloths been made up. Indeed, all the styles of dress this year are on a most elaborate and expensive scale, and it requires considerable thought and in genuity for the woman with a moder ate income to dress according to the latest fashion dictates. Fortunately there are a good many styles in every sort of gowu, whether for street or house, that are attractive aud quite inconspicuous, and these are the best to choose from where economy has to be considered, while in the black gowu the difforent methods of trimming work a transformation in the too som bre and workaday look that a cheap black gown so often possesses. WaUt* Wonderful in Cut. Truly wonderful are the designs, both of fabric aud cut, of the new evening waists which made their first appearance at the Horse Show. Two of the most notable examples are shown in the large engraving. Al though much of the material from which they are made comes from the factories of the old world aud some of the garments fashioned are upon French models, yet there are many exceedingly handsome ones made here. As modish as any are those made of satin, but not of a heavy variety, and thus the fulness of a waist is allowed to tit gracefully on the figure. This is tucked, straight, in squares, in diamonds, or hemstitched nnd drawn. One of the new embroidered styles is made in white mauve and cream. The embroidery is open aud loose, aud through it is shown a lining of cloth of gold. The style of this waist is really a blouse, but is open at the front aud filled in with knots of mous sehne de soie or chiffon. The collars are bauds of crushed silk, and the re markable little jeweled buttons which shine through the filmy ruches of chiffon which edge "all things" add not a little to the general effect. Mauve and other delicate shades of lilao are much used. Into these waists aie inserted yokes or vests, often collars of a plain con trasting shade or white, with Persian colors in fantastic figures. A new shade of blue which is light, but not a baby blue, is another material which is seen iu a smart waist. Not the least fascinating are the ex quisite blouses of guipure lace. These are made entire, without lining, and made to slip over any solid lining. One illustration shows a new style of silk which comes in one piece—a , skirt-length, it is called. This has an applique of mousseline de soie which is embroidered in neutral shades and a set pattern. The silk differs from the material usually employed in waists, inasmuch as it is soft and thin, almost transparent. Simple Sh!rt-wai«t Model. The Czarina shirt-waist, notwith standing its title, is a simple model that is suitable for making up almost any pretty fabric, but a particularly taking one included in the handsome trousseau of an autumn bride is made of amethyst velvet and heliotrope silk. It is formed with a deep yoke at the back. There is a wide plait down the front, where the waist fastens with pearl and amethyst studs. The back of the waist is very closely fitted, the sleeves close coat shapes, with velvet cuffs, and the fronts droop a little at the belt. Plain Setting For KuieraliU. Most people consider emeralds must be surrounded with diamonds to bring out their beauty, but a big square emerald owned by one woman who is fond of the rich, green stones is in a a perfectly plain setting, square cut, as emeralds are, and is' beautiful in its soft velvety richness. How the Hutu Are Worn. Hats are worn in Paris and New York very far forward of the face. The new style of arranging the coiffure which brings it high up in the back means that the hat shall be woru over a full roll in front, not pompa dour, but a soft arrangement iu which the hair extends very widely at the sides. The hat itself extends far over the face, that is not down, but up ward at least from three to four inches beyond the lines of the face, that is to say the new pointed, round liats, toques and other styles which are being shown. The turbau must be poised suffi ciently high, and though the hair is being parted and woru apparently softer, there is no squat or flat tendency permitted. The forward iucliuation of the hat gives a rakish and peculiar, but graceful turn to the entire appearance when not pushed too far. The entire outlines of dress have an attenuating effect. The idea is to make the woman appear taller, THE NEW PICTTTRE HAT. more slender, willowy and graceful. The lifting of the hat and pushing it forward has this effect and heightens the geueral gazelle-like idea.
