j With this wenk practically ends the present session of the
first territorial legislature, the members of whom, in part, desire
that the session should be extended. Tins should be done only on
one condition, n inijly that the extended session should be devoted
wholly to the consideration or an uppropria;ion bill tor revenues

chould be raised. With a satisfactory pledge to this effect, Gov

wise, not one hour of grace should be allowed. The time which
should have been devoted to the treatment of important topics

tjj When the Maui Hotel was in course of erectiou, and practi
cally completed, a group of old timers casually gathered one
morning on an opposite corners and were discussing the future of
t ,io hotel, and ono of them, a moss-backed kamaaina, predicted
t'nt withiu three months after it was evened, the drug store
v.- mid be turni.nl into a Chinese colfee shop, and that the up stairs
p irtion would bo tenanted by Japanese. As an answer to this
p.-ophecy, the directors met this week and resolved to add to the
p.-esont promises, as the hotel accommodations are at present too
1 inited to meet the demands of travel.

Tho afternoon waned and twilight

Some timo ago a Frenchman
placed together a number of gold
coins of French mintage of the be

century. Ho was much surprised to
see that they differed in color. Ho
set about finding out tho reasons for
this difference, and the results of his
investigations have been published hi

There is a paleness about tho yel

which bear the effigies of Napoleon I
and Louis XVIII that is not ob
served in the goldpieces of later
mintage. Ono admirer of these
coins speaks of their color as a
beautiful paleness" and expresses
regret that it is lacking in later
coins. The explanation or it is very
simple. The alloy that entered into
the French gold coins of those days
contained as much silver as copper
aad it was the silver that gave the
The coins of the era of Napoleon
III were more golden in hue. The
silver had been taken out of the
alloy.
The gold coins of today have a still
warmer and deeper tinge of yellow.
This is because the .fans mint, as
well as that iu London - melts the

ly sealed boxes, which prevents the

collectors as those issued by the first

that it costs less to ma1-", them
The double operation of the oxida
