The eternal marriage question is be- ing discussed again! This is what one popular lady says about it: "You do not expect your carriage-horses to wait at table; neither does your pet dog pay your household bills; but in human beings we are apt to look for qualities Quite as incompatible as these, and to mirry in the fond hope that the par- tcular thistle we have selected will unlike all the others, bear a fine crop of figs. . Now, it is not my intention to-day to dwell upon the evergreen problem which has surely been sufficiently ventilated already, and would tax the originality of even 3. Shakespeare or a Browning. ' The interest of the foregoing duota- tion lies in the suggestion that instead of being content with a human plant that “brings forth fruit according to its kind,” we expect grapes, peaches, nuts, and blackberries, all off the same trees! ’ You remember that George Eliot, when describing Mary Garth, says: “She had the aspect of an ordinary sinner. She was brown; her curly dark hair was rough and stubborn; her stature was low; and it would not be true to declare, in satisfactory an- tithesis, that she had all the virtues.” But, if it be unreasonable to expect .a plain girl to be mentally and morally perfect by way of atonement for her physical shortcomings, how much more futile is it to blame the average mortal for not possessing beauty, talent, tact, wealth and “all the virtues." at. the some time I If we breed horSes We know that we must, to a certain extent, sacrifice strength to speed, and vice .versa; if we grow flowers, quantity must yield to quality of bloom. And we must ingeniously deprecate undue expectation as applied” to our own performances. It is upon others— our husbands, our wives, and our friends, poor things !—-that we concen- trate our critical faculty. A man mar— ries for beauty, then laments because his bride fails to appreciate his deeper studies, or to cultivate the domestic arts. ' Or a woman who has linked her fate to that of a good. solid, steady‘going American. brought up to his business, and devoted to it, gives herself airs of a “precieuse.” and tells .her intimates that he has “no-soul.” The inexorable law that the defect must accompany the quality, calls forth amazed protests at every turn. We expect to find cleverness without sarcasm o‘r conceit; we seek capacity for- passionate affection without the corresponding power of hatred, for- getting that the vcry sensitiveness which calls forth the love must lend bitterness to sense of injury and force of repulsion ! A gay Edisposition must never be frivolous; a staid one never dull. Good nature must never let itself be per- suaded to cross the boundary which separates it from weakness, nor must- common-sense fail to yield when we coax it, on pain of being labeled obstinacy. . How could we be expected to recog- nize that some virtues are absolutely incompatiblewith each other—~at least in the present incomplete condition of humanity ? To do so would be to admit ourselves—the critics—to be less than perfect—a manifest impossibility ! ’ M flaey/céa a/guo. Feminine Chat.

Hawaiians all-become “Christians" through the simple process of an edict —kapoo—of one of the sturdy old Ka- mehamehas. That worthy king, ob- serving that it was easier to kill an enemy with a. rifle than with a, club, and that the rifle was :the inventionof the Christians, took a short cut through the theological mazes of the missiona- ries who were trying to convert his 1 subjects, and announced that all Ha.- waiians were from that moment Chris- tians. .As he added that he would knock on the head any who objected, the thing was done as fast as his cou- riers could deliver his message to his loving subjects. All native women ride, full-blood, half-caste and white, and everywhere but in Honolulu, ride men’s saddles. The low caste ride native ponies in a careless, slovenly manner, but the high castes and whites, sitting astride an American horse—the possession of which is almost a marknof rank—ride with a dash and style that are fine to see. On all the islands but Oahu, and eve-n on‘ithat outside where fashions from “the states” pre- vail, the women all dress in a. gown falling straight from the shoulders, and in this garment, called a rholvoku, they ride man fashion, the skirts being so very full they need not be divided. I Poi, the staff of life of the native Hawaiians, is made of an esculent root called tara, much resembling a. big sweet potato. The tara, raw, is poun« ded into a. thick, stiff paste in wooden troughs, packed in matting [and allowed to ferment. When it is to be served this is thinned to any desired consist- ency in a. calabash, and conveyed to the mouth by the fingers. It is pale blue in color and slightly acid in taste, but foreigners soon acquire a, liking for it. especially when thinned With milk so that it can be drunk. Aloha is, in their limited vocabulary, at once a greeting and farewell, a for- mal expression of regard and of deep love. In the latter case it is increased in warmth and depth of meaning by modifying adjectives annexed instead of prefixed as “Aloha nut,” “Aloha nui loa,”lor even “Aloha nui 103. Real"— and then it is time to speak to papa. Our soldiers, so say the reports from Honolulu, were greeted with “Alohas” and “leis.” The latter are wreaths of flowers, made either to fit around the hat of a. man or head of a woman, or more generously to hang over the neck and shoulders. The native .wOmen dis- play much art in .weaving the abun- dant flowers into leis of much beauty. No matter how many men may leave a ranch or plantation house, nor how early it may be in the morning, the mistress has been busy with her maids and every guest is decked with a leis. A popular man departing on one of the little inter-island steamers is bade farewell by a hundred friends, who rub noses with him until the gong sounds, and then load him with leis, so that he can scarcely stagger up the gangplank.—New York W’o‘rld. Dainty " Dress Trimmings. This season there has been an un- usually pretty variety of durable cot- ton and linen braids and fancy gimps for trimming chambrays, zephyrs, plques, French ginghams, linen lawns, etc. Especially useful are the flat- threaded gimps overlaid with slightly raised woven flower devices in white or colors which give the dainty ef- fect of fine silk figures done by hand. The handsome woven all-overs are in very beatuiful color effects and pat- terns. French gimps in pure white have a close background with a silky- looking lattice design of white cord crossing it, forming scallops either round or pointed.
