Th* nawattaa T>*ath Prayer. V|h>u the minds of such a |m<>plo a» the Hawnllans wre, while under thru ancient form of religion, it was Lut natural that superstition should gniu a rooted hold. The most curious au<l es furtive belief to which they were made subject was that u man can I* prayed to death, a belief that survives among the natives to the present day. Fot the succvm of the tragical death prayer It was necessary to obtain some hair or a piece of finger nail of the intended victim. A priest was then employed to use Incantation and prnyer fur bis destruction. Always Informed of the doom tliut the priest was invoking upon him, the victim generally pined away and died. There la a story that an Englishman In the service of Knmehamcha I. liming Incurred the displeasure of a priest, the latter proceeded to "remove" hiiu by the death prnyer process. The Au-glo-flaxon, however, set up nn opposition altar hi derision and jokingly proclaimed that he intended to pray tinpriest to death. Alarmed nt the thre.it nnd overwhelmed at the failure of hi* own linnntntlons, the sorcerer died, proving by bls death bls faith iu bis religion. The Soelal Capital. We do not tui.ik that either Washing ton or New York or any other city will ever tieconie the social capital of the Culted States as London la the social capital of Great Britain. Washington will conie much nearer to It than it docs at present, but the country is too big to l.uve a social capital, hordes of people will come to New York to make money, to ntnuse themselves, to study, to live their lives in the least restricted atmosphere that the country offers, but onlv very rich people will come here to

'VIJ Il'H ..... - find nnd occupy a place in organised society. Pleasant people will always find pleasant playmates here. There is no lack of good company for everybody that Is companionable. But the charm of New York for |»eople who still live elsewhere is not in its society, but in Its shops and shows, its sunshine, its eating und its drinking. It is pleasant It grows finer every day. When it is finished it will be a marvelous city, but hardly the social capital of the country.—Harper's Weekly. Forest* and X itlonnl Prosperity.

SEWING COTTON. The Humble Uris in of the Great Thread Industry. The origin of sewing cotton wns told at a cotton manufacturers' meeting by the head of the great thread bouse of Paisley. Scotland. It was discovered In ISO 3 by ids grandfather, wiio had a little business in Paisley, making silk twine for heddles, which were used by every weaver. Tie silk came from Hamburg, and In 1803 Napoleon caused the stock hold there to be burned in order to hamper British trade. The weavers were in de.-.pnlr. but James Clark conceive! the idea that cotton yarns could be twisted together to form the twines. The experiment succeeded, and from this grew the Idea that cotton could be substituted for flax iu the manufacture of sewing thread and would not be so coarse nt.J L.irsh. He itegan the manufacture of the thread in a very small way. It was at first put tip In skeins and lad to le wound into little balls by ti.e and then Mr. Clark invented the modern sp > >!s. He had them made by a wood tu’"”'’’, a gro'-’- , a time. They co.-t m.a s, ~.-.. J u uoz-1 en. nnd he charged the purchase r of the ; thread a halfpenny for the spool, | which, however, wns refunded when ( ti e spool was returned. The ladles of. Paisley used to come to his shop with i their spools and wait while he wound > the thread on tlieiu. From this small beginning grew a great industry. Son>e:hi»K Wanted. A bachelor, old and cruuky, wns sit ting alone In Lis room. His toes with the gout were aching, and bis face was o’ersprend with gloom, no little ones’ dicmts to disturb him—from noises the i house was free. In fact, from cellar I to attic ’twas as still as still could be. No medical aid was lucking; his serv- | ants answered his ring, respectfully j answered bis orders and supplied him - with everything. But still there was | something wanted, which lie could uot : command—the kindly words of compassion. the touch of a gentle hand. And be said, ns his brow grew darker and he rang for the hireling nurse. "Well, marriage may be a failure, but this is a jolly sight worse." Animal* Enjoy Racing. Little pigs are great at combined play, which generally takes ths form of races. Emulation seems to form part of their amusement, for their races seem always to have the winning of first place tor their object and are quite different from those combined rushes (or food cr causeless stamp 'les io vhich little pigs are wont to Indulge (lacing is an nmusetnent natural to some animals and. being soon taught by others, becomes of their must exciting pastimes.—London Pit-Bits.
