FANTASTIC FA3HiO?.S. Honolulu’s Broadway When Clothes Were a Novelty. You can trump a-; t:.rough the mountains around ii :: lulu with no fear of ha ving a pyi!; m unwind from the lin.b of a tree and plant a . couple of >tomach teeth in the thick of your shoulder. Tout was one thing the early missionaries did not have to contend with. The first ones came over in 1820, and it took them 112 days sailing from Boston. They brought over with them for the natives about al! the castoff clothes in Boston. But with that there wasn’t enough to go around, so the natives used to walk up and down Fort street —which is Honolulu’s Broadway—wearing one article of clothing that the kind ladies of Boston had sent. A ka naka, or native, would march proudly down Fort street with one shoe on and nothing else in the world, while another native son would come beaming along in a sun bonnet, while a third leading citizen would come swinging up Likelike street jauntily wearing a cuff. Most of the garments for the wo men sent by the good deaconesses of Boston were nightgowns, and to this day the dressy garment among the native women of Hawaii is the holoku—the nightgown of the good women of Boston. When the first churches were built in Hawaii they had no trouble in getting the natives to attend, but they were a proud people and in sisted on being just as stylish as the white people. The deacons brought over with them shoes that squeaked dreadfully. The natives admired the noise and thought that to be fashionable they had to have squeaky shoes too. Only one native had a pair, so he would come to church a bit early, squeaking proud ly down the aisle, slip into his pew and gradually edge over to the win dow and drop his shoes out. A wait ing brother would pick them up and come swinging down the aisle, slip into his seat, work over to the win dow and drop the shoes out. All through service this would con tinue, the pastor each time having to- wait until the shoes reached their destination. By the time the sermon was over the last of the con gregation would be in. Services jhad to be continued on the one shoe 'basis until another ship arrived from Boston with enough equip jment for the whole congregation to come squeaking in together.—Bo nier Croy in Leslie’s. ~~———— The Sex of Ships. The word “ship” is masculine in French, Italian, Spanish am! Por tuguese and possesses no sex in Teu tonic and Scandinavian. Perhaps it would not be an error to trace the custom of feminizing ships back to the Greeks, Who called them by feminine names, probably out of deference to Athene, goddess of the sea. But the English speaking sailor assigns no such reasons. The ship to him is always and eternally a lady, even though she be a man-o’- war. She possesses a waist, collars, stays, laces, bonnets, ties, ribbons, chains, watches and a varied assort ment of other distinctly feminine attributes. — Liverpool Mercury. Reindeers and Wives. At the meeting of the Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals some extracts from school children’s essays, were read. “Feed your horse with horseradish and horse chestnuts if you want your horse to grow,” said one child. An other wrote, “If you are very kind indeed to your dog it may even fol low you to your grave.” A little girl wrote: “The Eskimos are very fond indeed of their reindeer—in fact, they love their reindeer some times more than their wives. But, then, they are very useful to them.” —London Mail. His Last Effort. The famous mathematician Bos suet was at the point of death when his friend Maupcrtius came to in quire about his condition. He was told that Bossuet was dying; that he no longer could speak. “I’ll show you how to make him talk,” said Maupertius, and, step ping to the deathbed, he called into ' his friend’s ear, “Bossuet, what is the square of twelve? ’ “One hundred and forty-four,” the dying mathematician replied with a last supreme etfort. His Own Card. Mrs. Green —We have forgotten about the baby's cards! Mr. Green —Cards? Mrs. Green—Certainly! To be in the fashion we must have cards with the baby’s name and the date of .his birth and send them to our friends so that they will know that |i we have a baby! Mr. Green—Oh, they will know it fast enough if they pass this ’’ouse at any time between mid night and morning! A * o/ Q 7 WAR AND PATRIOTISM. War is patriotic murder m uni form—Douglas Jerrold. That selfish, arrogant, vain and narrow minded self conceit which flatterers of the popular passion called "patriotism.”— Professor Paulsen. University of Berlin A patriot is a fool in every age Pope. Patriotism, sir, is the last re source of scoundrels.—Dr. John son Patriotism is the traud that justifies the training of whole sale murderers.—Leo Tolstoy. A "Christian" assassin remains an assassin in spite of his bap tism.—George B. Kirkpatrick. If my soldiers should think carefully not one of them would remain in the ranks. — Emperor Frederick the Great The earth shall then be trans formed. Man will then offer to his brother man not bullets nor bayonets, but riches, grain, bet ter fruit and fairer flowers.— Luther Burbank. They shall not learn war any more.—lsaiah ii, 4. PEACE AND WAR. The sleek sea, gorged and sated, basking lies The cruel creature fawns and blinks and purrs. And almost we forget what tangs are hers And trust for once her emerald golden eyes; Though haply on the morrow she shall rise And summon her infernal min isters And charge her everlasting barriers. With wild white fingers snatch ing at the skies. So betwixt peace and war man’s life is cast. Yet hath he dreamed of perfect peace at last. Shepherding all the nations ev’n as sheep. The inconstant, moody ocean shall as soon. At the cold dictates of the blood less moon. Swear an eternity of halcyon sleep. —William Watson. GEMS OF THOUGHT. Great battles are really won before they are actually fought. To control our passions we must govern our habits and keep watch over ourselves in the small details of everyday life.— Sir John Lubbock. Continuity and economy— these are the laws of him who is leading us. the captain of our salvation. lie always binds the future to the past, and he wastes nothing. - Phillips Brooks. Learn a wondrous secret, that pennilessness is not poverty and ownership is not possession, that to be without is not always to lack, and to reach is not to attain: that sunlight is for all eyes that look up and color for those who “choose.” Helen Hunt. A PRAYER. Teach me. Father, how to go Softly as the grasses grow. Hush my soul to meet the shock Os the wild world as a rock; But my spirit, propped with power. Make as simple as a flower. Let the dry heart fill its cup, Like a poppy looking up. Let life lightly wear her crown. Like a poppy looking down When its heart is filled with dew And its life begins anew. Teach me. Father, how to be Kind and patient as a tree. Joyfully the crickets croon Under the shady oak at noon. Beetle, on bis mission bent. Tarries in that cooling tent. Let me also cheer a spot— Hidden field or garden grot— Place where passing souls can rest On the way and be their best. Edwin Markham. I GERMAN MOTTOES. Lawyers and soldiers are the devil's playmates. Everything might be well if there was no "but" added to it Liberty is from God. liberties from the devil. With hat in hand one gets on in the world. The bridge between joy and sorrow is not long. We can live without a broth er. but not without a friend. ••••••••••• a•••••••••• « S Saved Girl’s Life ! 2 “I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have re- 2 J ceived from the use of Thedford’s Black-Draught,” writes * 2 Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky. gi “It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds, W liver and stomach troubles.
