The First That Were Seen In the Sandwich

In 1903 Capt. Richard Cleveland. OF
Salem, took to the Sandwich islands sew.

his life by his son, just published by the
Harpers:

purchased another pretty mare with

cost III Europe one and half dollars

found 1t was the season of periodical
taboo, during which no canoes were allow
cd to stir; but the next day John Young
came on hoard and told them that the
king was at Mowee.
Young was very DESTROYS of having one
OF the horses, and thinking that the bpro-
ability OF their increase would be better
secured by leaving them in different
places, the next uay moved to Tooagah
bay, near Youngs residence, and landed
the mare, of which he took charge. This
was the first horse ever seen in Owyhee
and naturally excited great establishment
| among the natives.
From here they went to Mowee and
were first beaded by Issac Davis, who
with John Young, comprised at the
| time the European population of the
islands.
Soon after a large double conoe came
off from which powerfully built athletic
man, nearly naked, came on board and
introduced by Davis as Tamaahmaah the
great king. His reception of them was
not such as they had anticipated, nor
could they account for his apparent cool
ness and lack of interest, except on the
supposition that it was mere affectation.
He took only careless look at the horses
and returned to the shore without ex-
pressing any curiosity about them. His
subjects, however, were not restained by
any desire to appear unconcerned The
news of the arrival of the wonderful ami
mails spread rapidly, the decks were
crowded with visitors, and next day,
when they were landed. q great multitude
had assembled, evidently with no definite
conception of any use that could be made
of them. As might be expected from
people who had never seen a larger ami

ors mounted the back of one of them
and galloped up and down upon the
beach. They were greatly alarmed at
first, for the safety of the rider, but when
they saw how completely he controlled
the animal, and how submissively and
quietly the latter exerted his powers in
obedience TO his will, they seemed to have
dawning conception of the value of
such possession ara rent the air with
shouts of admiration.
The king, however, could not be betray-
ed into any expression of wonder or sur
prise and, although he expressed his
thanks when told they were intended as
present to himself, he only remarked
that he could not perceive that their abil-
ity to carry a. man quickly from one
place to another would be a sufficient
compensation for the amount of food
they would necessarily require.

A ef-stricken Parrot.
Detroit Free prase


well-kuown citizen of Detroit who
died lately, possessed parrot, bird of
rare intelligence and fluent powers of
speech who Immediately upon the death
of its owner became morose and silent. a
condition 1T remained in until after the
funeral and for some DAYS later. Friends
of the family commented on this, and no
ticed the taciturn mood of the bird but
no inducements could make Polly talk.
One day, however, as a servant was bring
ing IN fayorite chair of the deceased,
the parrot began to scofd and mutter in
the lingo peculiar to its kind, and finally
uttered i'll mournful disconsolate tone,
the single cry
"Papan
No notice was taken of her, and sh
called III higher key;
where's papa"
She then relapsed into a somnolent
state for few moments, when she sud
denly sfrieked

This exhausted her vocabulary, but she
continued to utter the words in every
tone and variation of excessive grief un-
til cloth was thrown over her cage. to
the great relief of the mourning friends
whose sorrow was intensified by the APP
parent sympathy of the affectionate bird.
Character in Handwriting
St. Nicholas.
There are persons who claim to read
mems characters from their handwriting.
AS the writing of every nation is distin-
guished by certain strong national pecu-
liarities, it is easy for an expert to decide
to what nation writer belongs. Having
settled that, certain large characteristics
which are common to all men, but in DIFF
erent degrees, can be seen in every hanu-
writing A certain number of men are
calm even lived, sensible, and practical
Men of that class are almost certain to
write plain, round hands in which every
letter is distinctly legible: neither very
much slanted forward nor tilted back
ward; no letter very much bigger than
its neighbor, nor with heads very much
above or with tails much below the letters
not so distinguished; the letters ali having
about the same general uprightness. and
the lines true to the edges of the paper,
neither tending upward nor downward.
Exact business like people will have an
exact handwriting. Fantastic minds revel
in quirks and streamers, particularly for
the capital letters, and this quality is not
infrequent in certain business hands, as
if the writer's found relief from the pro-
sale nature of their work in giving flour
lshes to certain letters. Firm decided
downright men are apt 10 bear on the
pen while writing and TO make their
strokes hard and thick. On the contrary
people who are not sure of themselves,
and are lacking in self control Dress nm
evenly and are notwithstanding scratchy
hands. Ambitious people are apt to be
oyerworked; they are always in haste
and either forget to Cross their is or dot
their Is. They are apt to run the last
few letters of every word into an illegible
scrawl. Hurried, troubled, and consci-
ence-twinged persons have grabbed and
uneven handwriting.

CEMENTATION.
A New Process to Preserve Dead Bodies from

New Process to Preserve Dead Bodies from

New York Herald
special from Buffalo, n. Y, saws
Theodore Graves Hulett, aged n years
and for several terms side Justice of
the Niagara county court, came from
Niagara Falls to explain before the sani-
tary board of Buffalo his method of ce-
mentation, discovered some twelve years
ago. The discussion of it before the re-
cent convention of the American Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Science has
caused him to come before the board to
show that there was nothing new in ce-
mentation to him. He exhibited cement
blocks containing specimens OF fruit and
the bodies OF animals placed there in
1874 They were changed into sub
stance closely resembling stone, and the
original colors were preserved to re-
markable degree. Mr.. Hulett said he had
decided to cement his whole family, but
his two daughters have expressed the
idea that it would be hpretty close quar-
tiers" he had in their cases simply in
closed their collins into the cement TO the
thickness of a foot, making it into a
cumbrous stone box estimated to weigh
close upon two tons. He exhibited his
will, made some time ago, which provides
that his own body ahall be embedded in
cement. He said further that he not in
frequently cemented Baskets at the Falls.
AT the Oakland cemetery, he said, the
ground is wet, aud it had been found to
work perfectly. The gases escape through
the cement very slowly, and a perfect
copy Of the body IS left "If,' said the
cementationist, 1--WE had the body OF
Moses in such a process we could now
give every college in the world a perfect
model of Gods chosen leader" he says
he has no scheme TO work, and only wants
to give the world the benefit of his expert
ments.

Scratching for Eggs.

Scratching is better than feeding. A
Zen may go hungry during the entire day,
and if given all that she can eat at night,
will lay better than the one that has been
fed three or four times a day. hen Is
in her best condition only when she Is
seen industriously at work. 1t is her nat
ural mode of securing working for
it. If given place to scratch in winter
the exercise keeps the body warm, circul-
ates her blood, and when night begins to
come on she will have an excellent appe-
tite. The great difficulty we find in the
way of most persons Is that of feeding
the hens without compelling them to
scratch. lazy, idle hen will lay soft
sheled eggs. she will pull the feathers
from her companions, and cackle ana
make a great noise at times as though she
had laid al egg when in truth the alarm
is a false one. A tablespoonful OF soft
grain scattered in straw. chaff saw-dust
or even dirt, will cause her work If she
finds only che grain occasionally she Will
be satisf cd, and if hungry will work nard
the entire day for more. The best mode
for feeding is to cook a piece of meat
and nike a mush with the pieces, mixed
with ground oat meal, bran and shipstuu'
equal parts. Have it very stiff, and give
il to the hens early in the morning but
give them only about one-half enough

The first train in the morning left for

jolly crowd bent on having a good time.
An excellent band of music accompanied
the picnfcers and furnished delightful
music which was taken advantage of ov
the crowd of dancers, who tripped the
light, etc The afternoon train carried
several hundred additional pleasure

This is Cohoes, New York. These are

of them with a frontage of 200 feet, and
four stories high. Beyond to the north
and west, are the teHen ats of the oper-
atives-miIes of them.

But these are only two. There are
hundreds upon hundreds of just such as
these. They come singlY and in pairs
and groups. They are mixed in with
sisters and mothers, fathers and BROTH
ers. Here are boys 10 and l6 years OLD,
and girls Just entering woman's estate.
The sun never kissed their cheeks
the never saw the sky. Coming down
the hills FROM the company houses, they
only saw the gates through whicn they

Virtually "A Slave.

The worker who, for whate7er cause,
does not own tue material he works
upon, cannot fix tue price OF his labor
upon it, and has not the opportunity to
do better for himself, is virtually slave.
The tendency Of the existing competl-
tive industrial system is to lessen the
oDportunities and to concentrate all the
means of production IN the hands OF
comparatively few. 1t is this condl-
ton and tendency of the industries OF
the world which demand Improvement.
The tendency at present Is toward the
lessening of opportunities. A needed
reform is the establishing of condition
which shall have tendency to the in
creasing of opportunities.
The increase Of opportunities must be
for the whole human family ; that is to
say. it must be a change in the existing
industrial arrangements, which, although
beginning with few, must be capable
of elaboration and expansion, 50 as to
include all who desire to be included
In fact, basis must be sought for the
