SHELL AND kUKUI ORNAMENTS.

Some years ago Mr.. EcKAET came to Homo
lulu, bringing with him a fine taste trained to
the manufacture Of jewelry in many curious and
beautiful designs. He did much to improve the
taste of the people in his art. and to this day we
find Mr.. Max EcKART, established at Nos. 113
and lis Fort street. manufacturing most beauti-
full articles Of jewelry. More especially does be
exercise his art In the production of delicate and
original articles from the kukui nut and shells.
We are, many Of us, familiar with the necklaces
And armIets that have been made from the
kukui nut by the natives, and many of them are
very pretty. Mr.. Eckart takes these nuts and
mounts and polishes them until they resemble
beautiful Jet ornaments in lustre and blaekness.
We have seen q butterfly with kukui nut wings
set with delicate golden and enameled spots,
with little diamond eyes and golden antenIa,
that were simply exquisite Anything into which
the material can be cut and carved can be made
by him, end in the setting and finishing of shell
jewelry he is particularly skillful and original.
For q meniento Of the Islands in the shape of
jewelry these kukui and shell articles are ahead
Of anything we have seen. Any one having some
one thing that they prize as a relic of the past,
OF as peculiar to the Islands, can trust to Mr..
Eckart's taste to have them mounted and en-
bellished in coed taste and workmanship. In
Mr.. Eckart's store can be consulted Flitner's
standard clock for time, and In the show cases
are very many handsome articles of jewelry. The
choice Selection of plated ware displayed in the
large upright case at the back of the store COM
prises many desirable articles selected with
much care. .

TUNED from the coast bringing with hiH a very
chuice and varied stock Of clothing and QUILTING
goods, with which he has filled not one, but two
fine stores. In the v holesale store in the Beaver
Block. Queen street, there is / being placed a stock
selected by Mr.. Magnin with especial reference
to the wants of city and country dealers on these
Islands. Mr.. Magnin has had II long experience
in this market, and has made his selections this
season from the best lines Of goods on the coast,
with the especial purpose Of presenting every
thing new and novel. The ruling fashions in
cut. color and material have been consulted by
him in the line Of mems and youth clothing.
and the long lines Of jaunty. tasty and fashionable
coats, pants and vests excite our admiration and
afford no excuse to any one for not being we'll
dressed. Especial care has been taken IN the Sc
lection of goods IN this line that are the best to
be worn in q climate like this, aud we look to
see more we'll dressed people in the streets during
the coming season than ever before, and Mr..
Magnin will probably secure a large share OF this
patronage by exhibiting just such articles as are
wanted by all. The retail establishments, in

A letter was dispatched the same
day, informing Bessie's parents of her
marriage.
Walter went directly to the distant
town which he had intended to visit,
to prepare home for his bride, leaving
her with us. safely sheltered in the
embrace of the kindly hills.
Of course Bessie's mother was terri
bly, angry at first; her father, a weak
little man, who was content to walk in
the path marked out for him by his
wife, made mo- serious objection-in
fact, / think he rather liked Walter
from the first. But such anger can
net last, and reconciliation soon fol-
lowed, especially when Walter was
found to be a money-making man, and
sure to make his mark in the world.
Every summer Bessie and Walter
come to US, for no one is quite like

The Hayre Docks.

The avant-port, or entrance harbor,
is nearly dry at low water, and our ten
der, even with her light draught, stirs
the mud as she proceeds. But when the
tide is in, the large steamers and sailing
ships can safely proceed to the docks,
that have been dug from the land
with an enormous expenditure of money
and muscle. The docks and basins Of
Havre are all of mans creation, and
owe their existence to his industry and
perseverance. They are eight in num-
Der, and ninth, and perhaps a tenth,
will be added before long. Altogether,
the existing docks VIII accommodate
1000 vessels, and by crowding them
closely another hundred or two might
be taken in. The largest is the dock
Of the Eure, and it has superficial
area Of fifty-three acres, with a mile
and quarter Of quays. The water in
this basin has a depth Of thirty feet,
and a dry-dock opens from it capable
Of holding any Of the ships that visit
the port. Think Of the labor necessary
for making this dock and building the
massive walls that form its sides, and
then say if Havre is not deserving Of
all her present prosperity. An older
and smaller dock than this is the Bas-
sin du Commerce, which is generally
filed with sailing ships, and sometimes
has held as many as 200 Of them with
out impeding circulation. at one end
Of this dock is the square named after
Louis XVI, and On pleasant evenings
we will find dense crowd there to en-
joy the military or other music, and t
lounge under the trees. Beyond the
square and in full view from the dock
rises the principal theatre Of Havre,
and at the waters edge is the maehin
cry for removing the masts Of ships
or restoring them to their places. The
oldest dock Of all is the Basin du Roi.
or Vieux Bassin, and it is also the
smallest; it was made in 1863, and has
Iatterly been enlarged 50 as to adapt it
to the ships Of the present day. 1t is
difficult to ascertain the cost Of the
docks Of Havre, as the old accounts
no longer exist, and we have only the
modern figures to guide us. Within
the last twenty years more than $50,-
100000 have been expended on them.

being traced back to him yet. He was
yer beaten but once in race.
When we visited Belle Mead there
were on the place four stations, eighty
brood mares and forty-two colts, all of
the best breeding and comprising
some of the most valuable stock in the
country. The stations are: Enquirer,
imported Great Tom, Bramble and
Luke Blackburn. The business of
General Harding is the breeding and
sale of the thoroughbred horse. Every
thing else is auxiliary thereto. He
neither exhibits nor races horses, but
confines himself to supplying the best
bred animals of their class to fanciers
of the horse. His customers are from
all sections of the country, and repre-
sent some Of its leading men. No ami
NAL is ever sold at private sale, the
entire produce of the farm being dis
posed Of at public auction on the
premises about May l each year.
These sales began in 1867, and are
largely attended. Every man who
buys knows that he is being fairly
dealt with, and that he is sure Of
what he purchases. The colts of the
previous year, numbering twenty-five
to forty, are sold to the highest bidder,
and the time occupied rarely exceeds
two hours, while the sums realized
amount to many thousands Of dollars.
The sale of 1881 embraced thirty-four
colts, which brought 1880, and
represented the last of the Bonnie
Scotland stock. One animal of this
strain could not now be bought for
$4,000. The sale Of 1882 covered
thirty-eight head. and aggregated
S24,800 Prices, Of course, are gov
erned by the breeding Of the colts.
Both the father and grandfather Of
General Harding were breeders Of the
blooded horse, and he therefore came
naturally by his fondness for the
science.

A LovING-CUP SONG.
1s29-1Ss3.

1S29-1SS3.
Come, heap the fagotsl Ere we go
A. yin the cheerful hearth shall glow;
Well have another blaze, my boys
When clouds are black and SHOWS are white
Then Christmas logs lend ruddy light
They stole from summer days, my boys,
They stole from summer days.
And let the loving cup go round,
The cup with blessed memories crowned,
That flows wheneer we meet, my boys;
No draught will hold a drop of sin
If love is only we'll stirred in
To keep it sound and sweet, my boys,
To keep it sound and sweet.
Give me, to pin upon my breast,
. The blossoms twain I love the best
A rosebud and a pink, my boys;
Their leaves shall nestle next my heart,
Their perfumed breath shall own its part
In every health we drink, my boys,
In every health we drink.
The breathing blossoms stir my blood,
Methinks I see the lilacs bud
And hear the bluebirds sing, my boys;
Why not Yon lusty oak has seen
Full ten score years, yet leaflets green
Peep out with every spring, my boys,
Peep out with every spring.
Old Time his rusty scythe may whet,
The unmowed grass is glowing yet
Beneath the sheltering snow, my boys;
And if the crazy dotard ask,
Is love worn out? Is life task?
Well gayly enswer No my boys,
Wen gayly answer Nol
For life's bright taper is the same
Love tipped of old with rosy flame
That heavens own altar lent, my boys,
To glow in every cup we fill
Till lips are mute and hearts are still,
Till life and love are spent, my boys,
Till life and love are spent.

Measuring Brains by Ounces.

lu6 report IlldU Tie DrdlE OIL GaIn-
BETA, when examir ed by the experts,
was found to weigh 1,lC0 grammes, or
less than thirty-nine ounces, has led
to the publication Of an immense
number Of brain weights. The brain
Of the adult human male is said to
average about fifty ounces, and that Of
the adult female about forty-fve The
maximum weight of the heather
brain is about sixty-four ounces, and
the minimum about thirty-one. In
cases of idiocy it has been found weigh
ing only twenty ounces. Broca places
the lowest limit of brain-weight COM
patible with human intelligence at
thirty ounces in males and thirty-two
in females, the average weight of the
European male being forty-nine
ounces. DR.. Bisehoff. of Bonn, pub
lished two or three years ago perhaps
the most exhaustive study of the sub
ject ever undertaken. He had ex-
amined and weighed the brains of $50
men and 347 women. His figures were
as follows:
Highest. Lowest. Average.
Male .. 67.9 or. 35.9 OF. 48 OF.
Female. ....... 55.2 OF. 28.9 OF. 48 oz.
Bischoff weighed the brains of ten
cultivated and celebrated men, some
Of which he found to be below the
average, while none reached the maxi
mum. The brains of 119 ordinary
offenders weighed eleven grammes
more than the average, some having
weight of 1900 and even 1900
grammes.
As to the actual weight of the brains
Of eminent men full statistics are not
obtainable. Taking individual cases,
some twenty-three in number, Cuvier,
the naturalist, heads the list, accord
ing to one authority, with sixty-four
and one-half ounces, and according to
another with 64.33. The brains of
Abercrombie, the physician, and of
Schiller, the poet, weighed sixty-three
ounces; Sir James Simpsons weighed
fifty-four and Chalmers lifty-three; the
brains of Napoleon and Daniel Web
ster fifty-seven ounces. The brain of
a mulatto, who died not long ago at
Cincinnati, was found to weigh sixty
one ounces. He was not considered
bright, intellectually. The heaviest
brain on record, which weighed sixty
seven ounces, according to DR.. Morris,
was that of bricklayer, who 'had
good memory and was fond of politics,
but could neither read nor write, so
that, whatever his potentialities, his
actual requirements were not great. :"
1t may surprise our readers to
learn that the only statistics of Chi
nese brain-weights available show
them TO exceed all other nations in
this respect. The average brain
weight of the males reached fifty and
one-half ounces, and that of the fe-
males forty-five and one-half ounces.
This is an average not attained, so far
as yet known, by any other nation, it
being fully six ounces above that of the
average negro and one and one-half
ounces above the European. The
brain of Guiteau weighed forty-nine
and one-half ounces, exceeding by
more than ten ounces the reported
weight of the brain of the great French
Republican.

TUNNELS IN ENGLAND.

The lengths of some of the more i'm
portant tunnels in England will un-
doubtedly be matter of interest to
some Of our readers. The box tunnel,
on the Great Western railways is, per-
haps, the longest, its length amounting
to some 9,369 feet. The next in length
is the Kilsby tunnel, on the London and
Northwestern railway, which is 1874
feet, its cost Of construction being about
5000 per foot. The Honiton tunnel, on
the London and Southwestern road, is
1850 feet long, and cost about $50 per
foot in length. The Lydgate tunnel, on
the London and Northwestern railway,
is. 1896 feet in length, chiefly in the
coal measures, its cost also being $50
per foot. The length of the Guildford
tunnel is 2, ,895 feet.-Iron Age.
