Rouseau's house, in Second ward,
was on fire last Wednesday at noon.
A pail brigade was promptly organic
ed and the fire soon put out. The
fire department was called out. A
good many fires could be easily con-
quered if the residents living near by
would take the same prompt measures.

The Germania band was engaged
Saturday night to climb up the lofty
pulp factory towers and play for the
Republican candidates. Playing mu-
steal selections to the stars will not
help Harrison and Morton. The stars

wore lamps on their hats, and as they
descended the tower, the view was
very pretty.

Keep 1t to Yourself.

You have trouble, your feelings arc
injured, your husband is unkind, your
wife frets, your home is not pleasant,
your friends do not treat you fairly,
and things in general move unpleas-
antly. Well, what of it? keeo it to
yourself. A smouldering fire can be
found and extinguished; but, when
Goals are scattered you can't pick
them up. Bury your sorrow. The
place for sad things and disgusting
things is underground. A cut
finger is not benefited by pulling off
the plaster and exposing it to some
body's eye. Charity covereth a multi
tude of sins Things thus covered are
cured without scar; but once pub
lished and confded to meddling
friends, there is no end to the trouble
they may cause. Keep it to yourself.
Troubles are transient; and wheu a
sorrow is healed and passed, what a
comfort it is to say: mo one ever
knew it till it was over!n-- Chr1stian

parent Is Mrs. j. o. Dorinis. wife of
the Governor OF the island. She is the
Kings sister. Her husband is white,
color not counting for much in that
country. The royal Hawaiin band, in
the employ of the government, is one
OF the attractions. 1t is composed of
thlrty-three members, all natives.
They play as well as any first-class
band in this country. They perform
every Monday morning in the palace
square and in the public squares three
times week. Their singing of native
songs is notable feature of their per-
fOrmances.
The distances in Honolulu being
great, many livery carriages are in
| use. They are two-seated and are all
alike, one horse being used in drawing
| them. / think Honolulu uses as many
livery carriages as does Detroit. The
Chinese problem is coming to the front
in the Sandwich Islands as well as else
where In Honolulu whole streets are
| occupied by the Chinese. They work
at the laundry business in part and are
also walters and servants. Many small
shops in all the islands are run by
Chinese. Almost all the poi is made
by them, and the white poi flag is
seen everywhere. Poi? Oh, the taro
is vegetable, gray in color
and about the size of our beet.
Raw it is unfit for food, but baked
it forms a large proportion of the
food of the islands. 1t is cooked and
pounded with iron mallets. 1t is then
mixed with water until it assumes
about the consistency of starch, when
it is put into barrels and allowed to
ferment for about twenty-four hours.
1t has then acquired an acid taste, and
is then to the native islander what rice
is to the Chinaman.
The government of the Sandwich
Islands now may be said to be in the
hands of the Missionary party. The
descendants of the old missionaries
form a very important part of the
financial and intellectual strength of
the islands. Free Press.

Men act from principle in regard TO
these matters of daily conduct. An
honest man is not honest BY accident,
but by rule, and rogue is dishonest
because he is that kind of a man. So
the farmer, careful OF little things and
impeled by principle of right and
order and propriety, will take care of
his tools and machines just as he keeps
his crops free from weeds, feeds his
stock well. saves the manure, procures
fresh and good seeds, and does all his
work in the best manner. Little things
tell the tale of mans character, and
when farmer is seen with even hoe,
sharp and bright, we may be sure he
is intelligent and careful in greater
things.-Henry Stescart, in NJ Y

KAlAKAUA'S PALACE.

Where the Profiigate Ruler of the Ha-
waffan Islands Lives.
The royal palace-called -'Isalani"
occupies q square of about five hum
dred feet in the center of the city, and
is surrounded by high wall formed
of stone and cement. just outside of
the palace wall are the barracks for
the handful of native troops, of which
His Royal Highness can boast. The
palace itself is large and imposing
structure, two stories high. 1t is a
very handsome building. The throne
room is a large and Observation-Disclosures

haneincs are of red damask. The
state dining-room is also very large
and elegant. 1t is hung with portraits
of foreign sovereigns, notably one of
Louis Philippe The state recep-
ton room is hung with blue,
gaudy colors predominating through
out the palace Opposite one OF the
gates in the palace wall is located the

Evidence Proving That They Belong to
the Mammal Family.
He is no transitional link between
the mammals and the birds, but be-
longs Individually to the former group
of animals. This is shown by his furry
body Though the collared bat of NAL
acca has but little to boast of in this
respect), by his sharp teeth (though
birds of old were not toothless), by the
fact that the young are born and
sucked, not Matched, and by the unani-
nous testimony of the whole internal
anatomy. Skull and brain, breastbone
and hip. vertebral column and tail,
lungs and digestive apparatus, all in-
dictate that the bat is an utter though
undeniably lowly beast. / use this
word of course in its natural his
tory sense, and with no hint of
the disparagement implied by the
school-boy who. on being asked to
describe zoologically the cat, replied,
pithily: "a cat is an animal; our cat is
beast The wing, moreover, of the
bat is quite different from the wing of
any bird. It is noteworthy fact, and
wonderfully Indicative of the resources
of nature, that within the backboned
class the problem of flight has been
solved in three distinct ways-nay,
four. if we may include the flight of
fishes. But do flying fishes vertically
fly; or do they merely sail. borne along
on outstretehe he'd fins by the powerful
impetus with which they flash out of
the blue water? Often and often in
the tropics have leaned from the
bows of an ocean steamer and watched
these creatures, frightened by the
heavy plunging OF the huge
steam leviathan, dart from the
water and, now and again just
grazing the summit of wave, sail in
long curves for the space of thrice the
vessels length. For long was unde-
cided whether theirs was true fight or
not; nor am quite convinced to this
day But / lean to the view that the
apparent 1uttering of the wings, which
is very obvious when the fish skins
and touches wave crest, is an ac-
compartment of the vigorous tail
strokes which often leave their mark
on the smooth surface of the water,
and that the Pickering of the wing fins
as they sail is a mechanical result of
the rapid passage through the air. I
am inclined. therefore, reluctantly to
abandon my old belief in the fight Of
fishes, and to place it in the same cate
CORY as the graceful sweep of the fly
ing squirrel, the ariel of Australia and
the colugo Of the Indian Archipelago.

SANITARY SCIENCE.


Ignor1nce Of Itsi Prlncipleo the Cause ol
Counties Deaths.
In his census reports, DR.. Billings
estimates that in the United States, one
thousand deaths occur every year from
strictly preventable diseases alone.
This is unquestionably very moderate
estimate, and, il there are reckoned
also twelve cases OF serious illness for
every death, we see what q great
amount OF suffering results from ign0.
rance Of sanitary principles.
But how is this ignorance manifest.
ed? Are not our architects competent
to deal with the problem Of household
sanitation? 1t will be said, perhaps,
that it is the province of the architect
to direct the entire work OF house,
building. and to arrange every detail
Of the fittings. But it should be con.
sidered that the science of sanitation
is broad and comprehensive. Years Of
Study and experience in sanitary work
are necessary for proper understand
ing Of the subject. It is, perhaps, un.
fortunate that there is 30 little in the
severe and unpleasant details of this
work to commend it to those
whose tastes have led them to
the study Of more attractive
principles Of artistic construc.
tiOn and the science Of aesthetics.
An architect should have the soul Of
an artist. but there are few men whose
nature is so broad as to combine truly

tails OF difficult mechanical work in.
