WHAT | SAW AND HEARD IN
HONOLULU.
BY DAVID GRAHAM ADEE.
From Tile RcpaJbc.
CONTINUED rnoM YESTERDAY.


gentlcmanly David Kalakaua,
whose personal politencss to
me and mine and genial and
agreeable social qualities, as
well as friendly bearing, |
shall take Il particular salts
faction in often recalling to
memory.
That the Sandwich Islands
owe a great debt of obligation
to the American shipping
lines which have entered their
ports on their voyages to and
from Australia and China
and Japan, none can for one
moment deny or doubt. Com
merce has grown up Won
derfully in this way, and
foreign trade been promoted
and established which tended
directly to the Importance and
prosperity of the kingdom
and the excellent results of
the creation of the mutually
valuable and desirable reel
procity treaty, the only one
of that character heretofore
entered into by the United
States, are manifest. AS the
nearest and most favored
nation, we should be kindly
and confidently regarded by
those independent islands,
nesting and sheltered under
our broad wing; and any
small request politely applied
for, in all friendliness, ought
not to be slightingly refused
in the naughty spirit of pride
and pique or denied i'll the
interests OF vain bravadO and
overzealous buster,
1t is Il question of present
speculation whether this ocean
country will eventually drift
in its sympathies and financial
interests toward America or
Australia. Will the Hawaiian
flag finally continue to wave
over the Iolani Palace as it
does to-day, or will some
unexpected and vital revoIu-
ton in Pacific politics place
at the masthead the royal
cross or the republican stars
and stripes? The beautiful
standard Of Hawaii is some
times thought to have had its
origin in Il happy, peaceful
blending Of the banners Of
both England and America,
for there are there to be seen
the corner cross OF the one
and the parallel stripes Of the
other, tremendously mingled.
May that choice little land
always remain a pleasant spot
of socia bic reunion for both
of those great neutral sea-

How Pensions are Paid.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Cleveland Leader tells how much care
is exercised in granting q pension, as
follows:
The pension must first be found to
be all right by the appropriate evl-
dence, which is compared with the mus
ter rolls and the records in the war de-
partment. 1t goes through number
of hands, and if found all right req
uisition is made upon the treasury TO"
it. This requisition for its payment
must go thro' thirteen bureaus before it
can be paid. In the first place,you know,
there must be fund appropriated by
congress for the payment of the class
to which 1t belongs, and the appropria-
ton must be available before the requi-
sition will be made. Then it must be
drawn up and signed by the commits
soner of pensions. From him it goes
to the secretary of the interior, who
signs it and sends it to the comptroller
of the treasury. The second comptrol-
Ter signs it and sends it to third audi
tor, who looks it over and passes it on
to the warrant division. From her" it
goes to the register of the treasury who
in turn examines it and hanGs it over
to the division of accounts. If it passes
here all right, it is then presented te
the United States treasurer for his sig
nature. Having been signed it goes
back to the division of accounts to be
registered, then to the register of the
treasury for his signature, then to the
division of accounts again for mailing
to the depository of the pension agent
who is to pay the claim, and another
note must be sent informing the agent

STANDARD AND ALL SoRTs.-A gen.
tlcman rode up to small boy sitting
on the fence in front of his house and
inquired if he lived there.
II try to- was the response,
"Well, my boy, | want to know what
time it is; can you tell me::'
Eyes, l kin; l wuz in the hous jis FIVE
minites ago, and the old clock wuz
pintin at leven.'
"What kind of time do you have:''
"Oh, us have all kinds"
"But mean, do you have solar time
or standard time?'
"That's what I said. We have all
kinds?'
II don't understand you
"Don't yerl Well, come to our house
and live a while an yer'll learn. My
sister Sal she has standard time, that's
the clock;I has city time, that's the town
clock; the hired gal has sun time, that's

TIM on the fence till they git her reg
gerlated. BY gosh, you hadn't better
wait roun'y yere if you don't want to
hear suthin strike, an strike mighty
durn hard.
The man rode away rapidly and the
boy kicked another plank off the fence.
He WAS UP ON SINNERs.-"My dear
bow said an earnest Sunday School
teacher at the North End Mission to a
frowsy urchin, "do you know that we
are all Sinners"
Eyes marm."
do you know that you are a sinner.
eyes marm'
A long and earnest talk followed, in
when the claims of the gospel were
fully set forth, but the teacher was on
ly rewarded by an unintelligibIe stare.
Finally, it occurred to the teacher that
perhaps she had taken the boy beyond
his depth, and she inquired:
John, you know what a sinner is
don't you?'
"Sinners? Oh, yes; sinners is strings
in turkeys legs"

About MacarOni.

"While macaroni is the national die
of Italy, it has become completely
Americanized," said prominent Ital.
ian restauranteur to reporter. "Our
American patronage is constantly in
creasing, which shows the growing
taste for our food. Excepting our pure,
native wines, macaroni appears to be
the most favored of our American cpl
cures. In fact all the English speak
ing people in New York are taking
lovingly to this wholesome and slippery
diet. Do you know how it is made p
No! Well, | will tell you. Macaroni,
vermicelli, (or little worms,) talliarini,
etc, are the products Of -four from the
best quality Of wheat. Macaroni diff
fers from vermicelli only in size-the
latter being made in smaller tubes
Both are prepared in the greatest per-
fecton at Naples, and are the principal
food of the great body of the people
there. Macaroni is to the Italian what
the fig and the date are to the inhabi-
tants of the Levant, and what rice is to
the Asiatic. The hard wheat -four i'm
ported from the Black Sea is the best
suited for the manufacture of macaro-
nj. None of it ever reaches this coun-
try, except it is imported by private
parties for home consumption. The
flour is mixed with water, frequently
washed in mountain streams, then
ground in water mills, and hot water is
added until it becomes dough. 1t is
forced by pressure through a number
Of small holes or tubes and then cut of
at the desired length. The largest
tubes are called macaroni, next vermi-
celli and the next fedelini. Talliarini
is made pretty much on the same plan,
only that it is long, narrow and fiat,
and when served looks something like
a wrecked spider Verlnicelll
means little worms, and when in soup
one would come to that conclusion
without knowing the literal meaning
of the word. Spaghetti is another spe-
ces of the same kind Of food chopped
into small round sections Italian paste,
YOU know, is used in puddings. No, not
in the ten cent restaurants. 1t is those
little things you see in the shape of
stars. hearts, crowns and letters of the
alphabet; and while eating your pud-
ding or soup you can refresh your
memory in the alphabet or study as
tronomv or anatomy. At Naples the
preparation of macaroni and its species
is best understood; nothing is used ex-
cept flour and pure water, the best be-
ing made of -four of hard wheat, the
most inferior for the peasants, is made
of -four of soft wheat The macaroni
used by the poor is merely boiled III
water, and not often washed and
ground with that great care in making
the best article. The lazzaroni of our
country have only one ambition-to
excel each other in swallowing the
longest string of macaroni without
breaking IT.
