Aside from the political questions involved In the annexa tion of Hawaii, it also has a commercial aspect. The United States during last year imported from the Hawaiian islands 270,000,000 pounds of sugar, which at the present bounty rate would require the an nual payment by the United States of 15, 400,000 a year to the sugar producers of that country which, added to the (8,000,000 annually paid to the sugar producers of this country, would make $13,400,000 as the amount paid for sugar botnty each year.

The drinking of ton has become as es! tablished a social function as the making; of calls, and every woman who lay claim to keeping pace with tho times has her table set up and ready for use. It may be that it is a simple homemade af THE CHRYSANTHEMUM TABLE. fair which bespeaks taste and ingenuity rather than lavish outlay, or it may bo the most elaborate that money can buy, but if it be so arranged as to provide the refreshing decoction at the appointed hour of 5 whether J it be one or the other is a matter of little moment, if of any at all. The presence of tho cups and their paraphernalia is the only im portant fact. Whether they be more dainty or less rare: whether the table be larger or smaller; whether the service be after the Russian model or the simpler English form is all a matter of taste and of op portunity. For the informal daily tea drinking that is so much in vogue no rule can be laid down. Hospitality takes as many forms as there are differences in human character, and each hostess is a law unto herself. But when cards are issued for one especial day and the tea becomes a more formal entertainment the table undergoes a change. Decorations as beautiful as the taste'of the owner dic tates are employed. Colored lights are distributed here and there and all ac cessories are called upon to make the occasion conform to fashion's latest re quirements. At a thoroughly charming tea given by a woir.n sufficiently, certain of her 8elTto do original things, and" described in the New York Herald, yellow was the color and chrysanthemums were tho flowers chosen. In place of one table there were three, each preside over by a young girl dressed in a costume in which yellow was the predominant tone. The cloths were all of the finest satin damask, and each was embroidered in some con ventional design with golden yellow silk. Tall vases of chrysanthemums were placed upon each table and bunches of the glorious beauties were tied with rib bon and laid upon the cloth. They formed clusters at every corner, while the rich satin ribbon tied them in place and trailed across tho cloth between. Candles of yellow wax shaded with yellow shades threw their soft light upon the tables end upon the lovely girls who poured the tea, and lamps. also shaded with yellow, lighted tho en tire room. Chrysanthemums filled ample vases upon the mantle shelf, and each lady guest was presented with a single, long stemmed blossom as a memento of her call. Only light refreshments were served, as the hostess claims that tea should not outrun its function arid spoil the dinner that is to come, but these were so ar ranged as to embody the chosen color in every possible way. TWO niETTY COZIES. Simpler teas can bo given. They are less gorgeous than the one already men tioned, but are often none the less at tractive for that fact. One hostess who is at home every Thursday has a table that stands always ready for use. It oc cupies one corner of her drawing room and is just large enough to hold the dainty cups, the kettle, the pot and the needed paraphernalia. It is spread with a cloth of fine white linen, embroidered with . an effective floral design. The china is all of the eggshell sort, and the spoons are genuine souvenirs, Having been collected by their owner in hor vari ous trips abroad. But the object thai; gives the final touch and that speaks a welcome to each and every comer is the cozy that warms with the tea and the' hearts of the guests. It is made of cham ois skin in a lovely line of sago green and has couched across it in letters of gold, "Well Tak' a Cup o' Kindness Yet for Auld Lang Syne." In common with tho entire equipment-it is simple. In an apartment where lives a woman who is an artist in fact as well as name there stands a table too perfect in its way to be omitted here, and yet it is as sim ple as simple can be. It is made of bam boo, is circular in shape and consists of two sholves or tiers. On each of these is laid a doily of oriontal make which covers the entire surface, and every ob ject used is of some eastern make. Tho cups wero picked up at bargain sales or are odd bits sold for a song be causo of having no others with which to make up a set. The urn is of Japanese bronze; the teapot, sugar bowl and jug for crenm aro all fine specimens of owari china and were bought notU together, but singly when occasion offered, and the spoons are nllof Japanese bronze. Every day when the resthetic woman i9 at homo tea is made at tho proper . hour, and any frisnd who heppens in is sure to find good cheer. The tea served is tho finest Ceylon that the market affords, and even though there may bo added only the plainest of crisp biscuits tho feast is fit for the gods. Tho perfect sotting Is in itself a treat, and the tea, drawn after the method of the true lover of the herb, is a revelation to all who' know it In the usual state of brew. Germany's Building at Chicago. Germany's building at the Columbian exposition will be a curiosity indeed, as it will combine nearly all the styles of architecture, and its interior decorations will represent all the schools of German art and nearly r'1 the eras. The main structure will c i33 by 100 feet, but GERMAN BUILDING. from the center and rear an extension will put out CO feet, making the central section 183 feet long. This extension is known as the chapel, and will contain objects of an ecclesiastical nature, such as altars and painted windows. Above it will rise a bell tower 100 feet in height. The plans were drawn by an official architect in Germany. Guides at tho 'World's Fair. Some one has estimated that 6,000 guides will bo required at the World's fair. Other persons equally well in formed contend that 1,000 will bo enough. Whether official guides are ap pointed or not, it is certain that hun dreds of bright Chicagoans of good ad dress will go into the business of show ing foreign visitors around on their own account. A War Relic Of the many relics of the civil war to be seen at the Columbian exposition none will have a more pathetic interest than the famous old engine, General, with which James J. Andrews and his squad of Federal scouts made their fa mous run on the Western Atlantic road, TUE GENERAL. in Georgia, April 12, 1862. The engine was turned out of the Rogers works in 1854 and continued in service till 1890, and with the exception of a few restored parts will appear at Chicago exactly as it did when the famous run was made. Of the twenty-two raiders eight includ ing Andrews wero hanged, eight es caped, and tho other six were exchanged in 18G3. Music at the World's Fair. Festival hall will bo a great place at the Columbian exposition for all lovers of music, and especially for tho Germans. It will stand near tho lagoon between Transportation and Manufacture halls, will be in the Doric style of architecture FESTIVAL HALL. and cost a little over $100,000. In the great hall of this building many musical societies will assemble during the fair, and some of tho finest music wall be ren dered. The building is almost circular, as to give tho greatest practicable ,oom for the great hall, which is con structed to produce the finest effects. IIow to Tell the Course of Air When the Wind Is Still. Set a basin of water outside and throw a redhot coal into it, noticing which way the smoke moves. This resembles the one method used by sailors, who throw a live coal into the sea. If too rough they wet a finger and hold it in the air, noting which part cools first. Rov. 8. S.

Good Advice to Men Who YTbh to Dress) Neatly. The average life of a suit of clothes is two years, and the best way to keep it in good shape and condition is to wear it on alternate days. Of course it depends altogether on the quality of the material used in a suit of clothes. Good wool cloth will not wear as long as wool with a little cotton in it, but it always has a better appearance and will look better at the end of the period mentioned. Trousers should be pressed at least once a week in order that the baggy ap pearance at the knees can be avoided. The average tailor presses a pair of trousers for twenty-five cents, and with due care and provided they are not worn each day the trousers will look well for two weeks. Some young men press their own clothes or have it done by their home folks. This is a good idea an economical one but the tailor can do it better. Clothes, like shoes, should be worn al ternately. They keep their shape better and will last longer. Hanging clothes in cupboards and wardrobes gets them oat of shape. It is better to shake them out when changing and after folding them carefully placo them in a clothes press, where they will lie flat and not get a chance to sag. Tho best way to keep clothes in good order is to use ammoniated water sprin kled on a whisk and give them a good brushing now and then. A fresh grease spot can be taken out with a hot iron and a piece of blotter or common brown paper, or any paper that is porous. Place the pa per over tho spot and apply the hot iron. The grease is absorbed by the paper, and a brush and eomo ammoniated water will cleanse the spot and put color and tone to the cloth, particularly if it is black. IIow to Prepare a Good Lip Salve. Melt equal parts of best oil and white wax, melted iu a cup set in hot water. A little alkanet root tied in muslin and put in while the mixture i3 hot will color it pink. Perfume with oils of bergamot or lavender. How to Make a Cheesecloth Comforter. Prepare the cheesecloth into sheets large enough for the spread. Lay to gether and seam on two sides and one end by hand; then, leaving it wrong side out, place the cotton batting evenly over it. Let two people, one at each side, beginning at the unsewed end, grasp the cotton and cheesecloth next it with one hand and roll it over, using the other hand to roll .the other layer of cheesecloth. By gradually rolling the parts in opposite directions the cheese cloth will at last be turned right side out, with the wadding smoothly inside. Sew up the open end 1 tack the comforter with colored worsted, and it is com uletft. Rearded Women. Bearded women have existed nt nil periods of the world's history. P.v n Herodotus, the "Father of Ilisio;y," gives us an account of one Pedasnes. "who lived above Halicarnassus," a priestess of Minerva, whoso chin regular ly budded with a large beard whenvei any great public calamity impended. Bartel Garetji, a woman of Copenhagen, had a beard reaching to her waist. Charles XII of Sweden had a female gren adier in his army who possessed the beard as well as the courage of a man. Mar garet, duchess of Austria and governess of the Netherlands, had a large, wiry, stiff beard, of which she was very proud. Of late years, Albert, duke of Bavaria, reports having had a young lady gov erness in his household who was "the pfoud possessor of a very large black beard." Philadelphia Press.
