When I see a woman scrubbing or
bending over the wuahtub who was cre
ated with un artist's tastes and a poet's
song in her heart; when I see a bright
woman, in whom the drollery and
sparkle of youth die hard, amid a life
of druggery and unrest; when I see a
woman patching trousers and darning
socks who was intended by nature to
feign the crowned queen of some high
vocation when I mark the pallor and
the lines of tell-tell care on the cheek
M that in girlhood outblushed June's
sweetest rose, or note hbw the hands
that once drew divest music from
obedient keys have warped and twisted
in the faithful performance of homely
duties, I feel like kissing the faded
cheek and folding the poor hands in a
reverent grasp, for, I tell you, though
she may sometimes falter by the way,
though fretful moods may sometimes
overtake her, not queens of more royal
in the inheritance of their purple rotws,
not cloistered saints folded away from
the world's turmoil so faithful, not
dying martyrs so brave—for it is not
dying that tells, says a writer in the
Chicago Herald. To die is easy enough
—but living! there's the test. Anybody
can die, but ah, the infinite difficulty of

q A MISSIONARY EPISODE.
How the Work in Hilo Was Inter
rupted by the Queen's Hog.
Shortly after the arrival of the first
missionaries at the Hawaiian Islands a
small party of them landed from a
schooner at Hilo on their way to visit
the volcano of Kilauea. At that time no
missionary had been stationed at Hilo,
and consequently but few of tho people
of the place had ever had the opportu -
nity of hearing preaching.
As the party were detained in tllfc
village over Sunday they appointed
morning and afternoon services. It so
happened that the ouly building large
enough for the proposed meetings was a
canoe house situated on the beach.
Thither the congregation assembled at
the appointed time in the forenoon, Ail
ing the house to its utmost capacity.
There were old, scarred, and white
headed warriors, who had fought in the
wars of Kamehamena, sittiug in their
kapa kiheis, through whose quiet dignitj
of manner there shone a certuin cxpres
sion of expectation; there were dried
up old crones, to whom the cman
cipation from the kapti had come
almost too late, and there were
younger people and children and babies,
more or less dressed, according to the
convenience or whim or wealth of each
individual. The posts which supported
the roof of the house were appropriated
by some of the more agile boys to elevate
themselves above the crowd, where,
clinging on like monkeys, they awaited
proceedings with countenances expressive
of the greatest triumph and aelight.
Others, with equal ingenuity and greater
comfort, climbed on to the outside of
the roof, and by stealthily enlarging
small holes, which they lound through
the thatch, or making new ones, had an
unobstructed view of the inside, and the
enormous size of their eyes, visible from
below, showed how they appreciated it.
Under these favorable circumstances the
meeting commenced; the preaching was
listened to with great attention by the
audience, and the missionaries felt that
they were making an impression.
Suddenly when the meeting was about
half through, there ensued a scene of
the wildest confusion, men and women
rushed out of the building through the
uncovered sides, or wherever there was
an aperture large enough, rolling over
each other in the attempt and screaming
most unaccountably. Babies screeched
as they were tossed around iu the panic,
little boys dropped from the posts and
rolled from the roof. In less than a
minute the house was empty, excepting
the missionaries and an immense hog,
which quietly made its bed on the straw
on the middle of the floor.
At the beginning of the disturbance I
the missionaries supposed that it was a 1
sudden attack from a hostile tribe or an ,
uprising against themselves; but they
soon ascertained that tho black hog (
which lay grunting in comfort cn the [
straw, a puna anana (a six-foot hog), as
the natives call those of that size, be-1
longed to Queen Kaahumanu, and was
held sacred by the natives; that the!
canoe house was its accustomed resort in j
the heat of the day, and its abrupt en- |
trance among the crowd, swinging its
sharp tusks from side to side with per- j
feet contempt of the common people, was ,
suflicient to cause the exodus described, j
There is no reliable authority that the I
missionaries made any satisfactory pro- |
gress at Hilo till Kaahumanu's pig died, j
How a Car Got Away.
Engineers Jack West, Bill Gordon and (
Jack Sprung were talking about old !
times and the experience they had on |
different roads, when Jack told the fol- !
lowing:
"It is not necessary to give the name
of the road on which 1 was running, but
let me say it was for several miles as !
crooked a piece of track as I ever trav- I
eled over. One day wc started off with ;
forty-seven freight curs, aud when wc |
reached obr destination we had only j
forty-six. No car had been switched,
and the affair was a mystery. The con- i
ductor and his crew were fired, and for
two days no one know where the missing
car was. On the second day the superin
tendent received a letter from the agent
near the worst curve in the road, stating
he had found the missing car lying in the
ditch. We were going over the line at a
pretty good rate of speed, and the train
broke in two, the missing car jumped
the track, the rear section overtook the
first section, bumping into it with just
force enough to jar the coupling pin, i
which had remained up when the train j
broke, into place, and we pulled into j
the station as we thought with a full |
train."— [Leadville (Col.) Herald and
Democrat.
Female Convicts in Sing Sing,
The thought of the condition of the j
women life convicts in Sing Sing Prison !
is harrowing. No wonder thoughtful i
minds prefer hanging or even death bv
the dynamo to life imprisonment. The |
pale, furrowed faces and muffled voices
of those women is a sight not easily for- !
gotten, says the Brooklyn Standard
Union. To prolong a conversation with i
them would be cruel, unless one was in i
a position to help them get out. The
one ray of cheerfulness in their desolate,
monotonous lives is the consideration
which they get from the officials and
matron. After a woman has been there '
ten or fifteen years she is regarded as a (
member of the family, so to speak, and j
if she proves obedient she gets many
little attentions and privileges not!
granted short-term women.
All the life prisoners have two cells at
their disposal—one lor sleeping ami the '
other, nicely fitted up with carpet, phairs, :
pictures and curtains, is used for a sit- I
ting-room. Outside the cells of the
long-term prisoners many potted plants :
were to be seen. The cleanliness of the
cells, tiers, both lower aud upper, in
male and female prisons, was remarkable, j
A New Butter.
Coeoanut butter is a new food-stuff,
which seems to have a useful future be
fore it. According to a report by the
British Vice-Consul at Berlin, the pro
duction of an edible fat from the marrow
of the cocoanut has been carried out for
the last two years by a firm at Manheim,
the process having been discovered three
years before by Dr. Schlinck. Factories
having the same object are about to be
e 'tablishcd at Paris aud at Amsterdam.
The nuts come from the South Sea
Islands, and also from certain places on
the African and South African coasts.
The butter, which is sold at less than
half the price #f ordinary butter in Lon
don, con'aina from sixty to seventy per
cent, of fat, and twenty-three to twenty
five per cent, of organic matter. Its
color is white; it is of an agreeable taste,
is suitable for cooking purposes, and is
being purchased by the poor, who prefer
it to margarine. Being free from acid,
it digests with greater case than dairy
butter, and is preferable iu other ways
to the* bad butter which too often finds
i its way to market. It is also a more at
tractive compound than the various pre
parations called margarine, some of
which have such very questionable
origiu.—[Chambers' Journal.
It Was Open to Stay.
"My dear sir," said the man who had
come aboard at the last station to the
individual who sat in the seat in front
of him, "don't you know that by keep
ing that window open this cold day you
not only endanger your own health, but
the health of everybody in this car?"
"Yes, 1 suppose so," replied the man
beside the open window.
"And don't you know," continued the
man in the seat behind, "that even
though you are willing to risk your own
health, it is selfish and wrong of you to
risk the health of other people?"
"Yes, I guess you're about right," re
plied the mau by the window.
"Well, then," continued the man be
! bind, "considering all these things and 1
| that you arc. probably, an ordinarily ,
I decent man, why don't you close that
j window?"
j "Stranger," replied the man beside
i the window, as he turned around in his
| seat and gazed full upon his interrogator,
"if you want that window shut, why
I shut it."
! "By gum! I will!" the man in the seat
j behind exclaimed. And he evidently
meant what he said, for he leaned over
j and began tugging at the window with
! an energy born of intense agitation at
! the conduct of the man in front. The
• window clung, somehow. It wouldn't
! come. Despite the irate man's continued
| tugging, it still clung. The man in the
, seat by the window still appeared to
! obtain an intense pleasure from the
i other man's efforts, and when the tugger
I finally censed his vain tugging, and after
; uttering a gentle expletive resumed his
i seat in sullen silence, the man by the
[still open window remarked: "You're
feeling just about the way I've felt all
1 the afternoon. I've been working off
| and on at that window for the last two
hours, but 1 guess the blamed thing's
open to stay."—[New York Tribune.
Facts About Bats.
| "It is a curious fact," said a naturalist
to a Star reporter, "that bats have the
power of directing their flight as well as
if they saw, oven when deprived of their
eyes. Under such conditions they will
fly about a room with perfect case, avoid
ing with accuracy the furniture and
| other objects against which they might
jbe expected to strike. With equal ad
; dress blinded bats will shun the most
delicate obstacles, even silken threads
i stretched in such a manner as to leave
j just space enough for them to pass with
their wings expanded. When tho
threads are placed nearer together, they
i will contract their wings in order to go
! between them without touching.
| "The reason for this is that the large
I membranous wings of the bat, which
j sustain him in strong and rapid flight
i and enable him to make abrupt turns in
! the noiseless pursuit of insect prey, are
! organs of touch of marvellous delicacy,
1 being provided with most acutely sensi
| tive nerve fibres at the roots of the line
! hairs with which the winged membrane
|is covered. Through this perceptive
means the animal is warned of its ap
i pronch to anv object."—[Washington

Rapid Progress of Russia.
| The Kevue Britnnnique publishes some
! figures showing the rapid progress which
| Russia has made during the last two
j centuries, the population having in
j creased from 15,000;000 in 1733, 20,000,-
I 000 in 1782, 41,000,000 in 1812, 65,000,-
j 000 in 1835, 75,000,000 in 1878, and
j 89,000,000 iu 1883, to 109,000,000 at
the census taken in 1889 ; while the
Russian army, which reached a total of
j 570,000 in the time of Napoleon 1., and
j which reached 1,275,000 during the
! Crimean war, has now, when on a war
footing an effective force of 4,G00,000,
with 400,000 horses and 3,825 guns. The
greatest force of Russia is in her cavalry,
which is more than double that of the
three powers (Italy, Austria and Germany)
which form the triple alliance, while she
has a reserve of 20,000,000 horses, nearly
all of them suitable for military service,
to fall back upon
Congressional Perquisites.
I "The average person," said a well
! posted Washington gentleman, "places a
| congressman's pay at $5,000 a year. So
i it is nominally, but there are certain
i perquisites that swell the amount con
siderably. Eor instance, there is the
! private secretary for Senators, for whom
; the law allows $1,200 a year. This snug
: berth usually goes to some member of
j the family, increasing the revenue to
$0,200 Then the mileage allowance of
I twenty cents a mile is quite a consider
i ation. The California representatives
I draw mileage of 3,000 miles each way,
| that's $1,200 more. Most of them travel
! on passes or get cheap transportation, so
j that this is a great source of profit.
Birdseye Pine.
The line grain of the Louisiana pine is
now being utilized for making mantels.
! The grain is said to be brought out in
j polishing to a degree that makes it a very
effective rival of birdseye maple. The
I new article is known as "birdseye pine,"
I and there is a large demand for it in the
West, where it is manufactured into
mantels and other furniture. Cypress
1 and other woods of the St.itc, will, it is
i believed, be brought into use for the
j same purpose. The nine of North Caro
lina is also being made into various kinds
of substantial furniture.—[West Chester

The Colt Works the Pump.
Jerry Williams is the happy possessor
jof u very intelligent young colt. When
i ever the little fellow goes to the water
trough and finds no water in it to drink
he takes his fore foot and with it raises
and lowers the handle of the pump until
water enough is pumped to quench his
thirst. Whenever it is time for the cows
owned by Mr. Williams to be milked in
the evening the knowing young animal
trots out into the field and drives the
cows home. Tho colt is but six months
old and the young ladies are awaiting
patiently for the time to arrive when
they will be able to handle the lines over
his back.—[Yallejo (Cal.) Chronicle.
Largest Kitchen in the World.
The largest kitchen in the world is in
the Bon Marehe in Paris. The smallest
kettle contains 100 quarts and the larg
est 500. Each of 50 ronsting-paus is
big enough for 300 cutlets. Every dish
for baking potatoes holds 225 pounds.
When omelets arc on the bill of fare
7,800 eggs are used at once. For cook
ing alone, GO cooks and 100 assistants
are always at the ranges.
Returned With 'itianks.
It is a great mistake for the literary
aspirant to imagine that his returned
manuscript has committed any offense,
or that his music, if he has strutej
Pegasus, cannot soar. What he must
do is to sail forth with it again and
again until it reaches a favored port,
which it will surely do if it has the re
quisite merit, somewhere and at some
date. President Lincoln used to say,
wheu he was trying faithfully and with
great diligence to place the various able
men whp were presented to him for the
civil service and for the army, that it
was a very difficult matter to get the
square pegs in the round holes and the
round pegs in the square ones. And it
is just this difficulty which confronts
the writer for periodicals and maga
zines. No matter how experienced ho
may be he will often fail before he
brings his commodity to the market
which waits for it.
But editors do not wish to be cruel
or hardheartod, however much they
may seem so to the unspurred and un
unffedged writer. The very best and
most famous of them bare often told
me that one of the saddest and most
thankless duties they have to perform
is to return a contribution that for
some good reason does not prove to be
available. When J once wrote some
verses treating this necessity humor
ously, I had to apply to three editors
in succession'before I cdnld get them
printed, the first two assuring me sor
rowfully that the matter wa3 quite too
serious to be treated with levity.— Joel :

We pass by fish-ponds where a man is

Here and there among the newly

The EiMnliali to Air Navigation.
A recent lecont lecture by Mr. O.
Chaoute before the studeuts of Cornell
University presented a series of com
parative statements showing the limi- !
tations of possibility in aerial naviga
tion. The experiments and mathemat
ical reasoning of M. Drzewieki, a Rus
sian eugineer, chow that the minimum
of resistance to forward motion, whilo
retaining a sufficiency of sustaining
power, is wheu the line of flight is in
clined a little less than 2 degrees up
ward from the horizontal plane, and this
, deduction is born out by observation of
the progress of a great many birds and
bats. The"pigeon uses at the rate of
i about ten-horso power per ton of weight
. j to fly with a velocity of # twenty-five
) i miles per hour. And it is remarkable
, that the power required is computed to
increase only in the direct ratio of the
speed instead of as its cube, as in the
case with the balloon and the ship.
Hence an increase of from twenty-five
to fifty miles per hour means simply a
doubling of the power in proportion to
the weight carried. Allowing ten
horse power per ton, and only one
fourth of the total weight to bo j devoted
| to the motor, we obtain fifty pound."
i per horse-power as the heaviest permis
sible motor for an entirely independent
j flying machine. No form of steam,
j gas, or patroloum engine has yet been
! devised to weigh so little as fifty pounds
per horse power, including the neces-
I essary supplies of fuel and water. The
same is true of electric accumulators,
the best of which weighs 107 pounds
per horse power per hour: but on the
other hand it is possible to contract an
electric motor which shall weigh but
eight to ten pounds for the stated unit.
Hence the suggestion that tbe true di
rection for immediate effort iu the di
rection of navigating the air is: (1) To
use the flying machine motion instead
i of the cumbrous balloon; and (2) to use
a cable connection with an electric- con
duit at the surface of the earth, allow
ing to that machine freedom of motion
only within the length of its tether,
which might be considerable and more
or less invariable. (1 ranting any given
speed per hour in still air to be possi
i blc in this way, such a machine could
keep its course against any gale blow
! ing in any direction, of less speed thau
its own limit, simply by pointing
its nose in the right direction.—Clti

"August
Flower"
For two years I suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, and was for
all that time under treatment by a
physician. He finally, after trying'
everything, said stomach was, about
worn out, and that I would have to
cease eating solid food for a time at
least. I was so weak that I could
not work. Finally on the recom
mendation of a friend who had used
your preparations
A worn-out with beneficial re
sults, I procured a
Stomach. bottle of August
Flower, and com
menced using it. It seemed to do
me good at once. I gained in
strength and flesh rapidly; my ap
petite became good, and I suffered
no bad effects from what I ate. I
feel now like a new man, and con
sider that August Flower has en
tirely cured me of Dyspepsia in its
worst form. JAMES E. DEDERICK,
