SATURDAY EVENING. OCTOBER Is. =;

SENATOR CoNxL1Ne.-Sensto1~ Conkling e1.
presses himself as friendly to the administration,
but doubtful as to the practicsbiity Of the South
ern and civil service reform policies. He thinks
that there is too much sentiment and too little real
work on the part of the administration and that
it is time that attention was paid to the actual ne
cessiGies of the country, and that the little minor
question as to whether postmaster speaks IN ., a
caucus might be left on tt table for time. he
contrasts the present condition of the admins
tration, its personnel and its supporters WIN
that of President Johnson, and things that inere
is 4 remarkable historical parallel totWeen 'nom.
He thinks it not unlikely mat events may snow
that the historical parallel will not held gdod IN
tho day Of trial CT the policy, and that time may
show the wisdom of the administration, but he
objects to republicans being prosecuted and read
out by the party because they are OF the opinion
that the logic OF events will show that the time
has not yet come for the Southern and civil SER
vice reform policy to be engrsfed into practical
politics. ~.
Senator Conkling, it is said, believes that
Ohio has been lost to tho republicans IN conse-
Various r. asons for the defeat have been given,
but tho real reason is that the people are not sat
isfel with tho administration policy. The elec-
lion will result in sending. either Ewing or
Pendleton to the Senate, and on thst very mo-
mentous consequences VII result There was
600 republicans in Ohio. and when the present
unplossantness WAS over and men had made up
thir minds not to biudgeon one another be-

Remarkable Changes in the sandwich Islano
-.Interesting Facts and Figures.

There are now some $4,000 natives and
half whites in the Sandwich Islands The
pure natives are dying off at the rate OF 1909

does not require much figuring TO know how
lonr the lineai descendants al the ancient
stock will last The Kanakas have been sad
ly. terribly declmated since the introduction
of civ,lizitlon The halt whites are gradu.
ally increasing. Many OF the heightened
white. men on the islands ale married to ma
tive women, and in majority of cases large
families have sprung from the union. Among
other marriages between the whites and Ma.
tives there Is no Issue, and this specially APP.
plies to what we call by courtesy the aiis,oc
racy OF Honolulu. Where whites intermarry
with whites large families families usually
follow, and grow up strong and healthy, but
fearfully lazy. lazy white man on the IS
lands, and there any number of them, can dis
count native, take Il years loahlng, night
and day, as a test. The natives, with very
few exceptions, have small families, one, two
or three children being considered large
household. In the families OF the chiefs
there is great sterility, a majority OF the late
kings and queens have died chlldless. The
present monarch and his queen have no child
in the palace, although married toG number
Ofyears
Chinaman is destined to become master OF
the situation In numbers he is more rapid
ly increasing than the other races put toseth-
er. During the past year several hundred

arriyed direct from China The Hawaiian
Government gives sea captains $50 Tor every
Chlnaman delivered in the islands, and regu.
lar contracts are entered into for this purpose,
based upon legislative enactment, which
aroused strong opposition. There are sever
al thousand Cinnamon on the islands at pres

worked patiently on the plantations for
awhile, but take the first opportunity to set
up for themselves. Two of the wealthiest
merchants in Honolulu were formerly cool

in all its branches, and have driven small
white traders from stands held by them for
many years The Celestial gets most of the
native trade. They sametmes marry native
women.
The Celestial has introduced some shock.
ing habits among the Hawailans, and brought
to Hawaii that curse of curses TO humanity

there is new supply OF merchants and bust
ness from San Francisco, the Cinnamon will
be more than match for the etfete whites

The Scientific american gives some Of the
circumstances which lead to the explosion OF
kerosene lamps, the philosophy of all of them
being that the flame may pass down the wick
and ignite the vapor which accumulates in
the upper portion of the lamp. This vapor is
not an explosive as the term is ordinarily un.
derstooG, but when it is confined So that the
gases resulting from lis combustion cannot
escape freely into The open air, the vessel con.
fiuing II will be shattered This igntiun of
the vapor may be brought about as follows
/. y lamp may be standing on table or
mantel, and slight puff of air from the open
window may cause an explosion.
,. \ lamp may be taken up quickly from
n tablr or mantel and instantly exploded.
>. Y lamp Is taken out into an entry where
There 5 draft, or out Of doors, and an ex-
DiOsi,n enSues.
/. 4 lighted lamp is taken up flight of
stall, or is raised quickly 10 place it on the
man ! resulting in an explosion. In these
CASE. nc mischief Is done by the air move,
mem either by suddenly checking the draft,
or i,..r;ng air down the chimney against the
ha,rr.
Blowing down Ike chimney TO cXtin-
gus. the light Is frequent cause of explo-
sion.
g. Lamp explosions have been caused by
using chimney broken off at the top, or one
that has piece broken out, whereby the
draft is varible and the fame unsteady.
:. Sometimes thoughtless person puts a
small wick into large burner, thus leaving
considerable space along the edges of the
wick An old burner with its air draft
clogged up, which righfully should be thrown
away, Is sometimes continued i'll use, and the
final result is an explosion.

1t is related that man fell asleep as the
clock tolled the first stroke Of twelve. He
awakened ere the echo of the twelfth stroke
had died away, having, in the interval
dreamed that he committed crime, was de-
tected after five years, tried, aud condemned
the shock of finding the halter about his neck
aroused him to consciousness, when he dis
covered that ali of these events had happened
IN an infinitesimal fragment of time. Mo-
BANNED wishing to illustrate the wonders OF
sleep, told how a certain man, being a sheik
found himself, for his pride, made poor
fisherman; that he lived as one for sixty
years, bringing up Il family and working
hard; and how, upon waking up from this
long dream, SO short time had he been
asleep, that the narrow-necked gourd bottle
filled with water, which he knew he over
turned as he fell asleep, had not time in which
10 empty itself How fast the soul travels
when the body is asleep Often, when we
awake, we shrink from going back into the
dull routine of sordid existence, regretting
the pleasanter life OF Greenland. How Is il
that sometimes, when we 90 to strange
place, we fancy that we have seen ii before
Is it possible that when one has been asleep
the soul has floated away, seen the place, and
has that memory Of it which Sc surprises us
In a word, how far dual is the life CT man
how far not?

With The immense increase in the consump
ton of canary seed, ii seems strange that nc
steps are taken to grow it in our own country
It is as easily produced rs wheat or oats and
yields pr2lifcally. Forty or fifty bushels
per acre can be readily produced, and while
It may not be hardy plant, il will stand
considerable frost and our seasons will give
ample time to plant aud mature a crop. \
few acres devoted To growing canary seed will
return large profits, as il is now all imported
and pays duty Some enterprising farmer
can set the example, and not only demonstrate
the fact, but put money in his pocket
