A NTongolinn millionaire.

"a 4bOb = OAEAts-
san Francisco Can, March /.
In beautiful portion Honolulu, Ha-
waiian Islands, embowered in towering
palms. and luxuriant ferns, lies hidden
from the vulgar view of the pedestrian
the pretentious residence of Mr.. Along.
From its roomy balcony, through the in
terstices of the tropical forest, glimpses
of the famed Nuiana valley may be
caught-the valley of which it is truth
fully said that it is never without
rainbow. To the far right the towering
mountain ridges, with the Punchbowl,
an extinct volcano, in the front, may be
seen in all their beauty, while the hum
of the busy town floats up with no dis
cordant sound. Mr.. Along, who is
vouchsafed this elysium, is full blooded
Chinaman. With his native island spouse
and numerous family of little ones, he
leads an ideal life. MIR. Alfong is a solid
merchant, with stone-front store on
Chinatown's chief business street, and is
credited with the possession Of a million
or two acquired in honest trade with his
numerous countrymen on Oahu and its
neighboring islands. He adheres to the
characteristic Monaghan accouHements,
although mingling with the most impor-
tant and wealthy of Hawaii's merchants,
and disdaining to interfere in the varied
changes in attire which Honolulu fashion
dictates to his family. Mr. Along has
five daughters, ranging in age from
about II years to 5. The mother and the
daughters maintuin a rigid adherence to
the rules of fashion, and appear in the
dress Of white ladies and girls. When
occasion demands the lady and her elder
daughters are clad in as elegant raiment
as is the wealthiest lady on the islands,
and the demand, it may be explained, is
not by any means infreqpently made, as
the family is received cordially into the
best society in Honolulu. The family
has its private carriages driven by white
men, and a close observer Of the merry
quintet in their afternoon drive could
not tell that they were not the offspring of
wealthy Caucasion. The children are all
receiving tuition, and the eldest daughter,
modest and not unattractive young
lady, has advanced so rapidly as to be
considered well educated The Along
family is curiosity in its way TO the I'M
prepared visitors from San Francisco,
and, although there are many wealthy
Cinnamon in Honolulu and on the other
islands, it remains the sole instance OF
Chinese progression in many respects.

BIG BALM FOR THE wAKEFUL.
A New York Lady Turns Out Patent
Sleep Producer.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Among the
patents issued to-day was one to Fanny
w. Paul. of New York city, for device
for securing sleep. This is the four
teenth plan that has been patented, and
as soon as the rival sleep-producers get
fairly under the peoples night-caps the
shores Of the sleepers will sound in unison
from Bangor to Sar Francisco.
Some of these patents are simple, 9th
ers complicated. One is a sort of derrick
run by clock-work, which hoists the pa
tent gently into a sitting posture and
lays him as gently down. This motion
is provocative of sleep, and the tired but
active brain sinks into slumber while
the machine is still at work. Ten min
utes or so after being put in motion the
machine stops, and the sleeper is laid
softly down for a nine-hour snooze.
Sometimes the mechanism stops in the
wrong place, and the patient IS left sit
ting up asleep. This is the only draw
back to the success of this patent.
Another continuance is a Connecticut
invention, consisting of tin box, with
aperatures for the nose and mouth.
When breathed into it makes soft, deli
cious music. The patient stops thinking
to hear the mouth organ and he knows
no more till he hears the little instrument
sing a wake-up song in the morning. AS
usual, this patent has skeleton in the
closet It puts the patient to sleep, but
it keeps everybody else in the house
awake.
One Of the oldest ideas is pillow filled
with hops and other herbs noted for their
aoporifc qualities, but pillow-case
stuffed with chloroform would not put a
man with a jumping toothache asleep,
so that the pillow has not come into gen.
eral use.
An herioc cure of insomnia, which has
never gained the public sympathy, was
the falling head. board which was sup
posed to club the victim into insensibili-
ty. The inventorof this scheme is now
at BloomingdaIe, n. Y.
Then there is the toe-jerker, which is
supposed to take a mans mind off other
topic; the clothes-pin for the nose, the
soporific gum drop and other not so well
known devices.
Miss Pauls patent is said to be the
most reliable of the lot, and Congress
man Hewitt has agreed to give it trial
