gratefully and musically upon the ear from

A HAWAIIAN Prinoess' runoraI.

The report of the finance committee on the
state funeral of her Royal Highness Princess
Likelike has been printed. The orders seem
in general to have been given by the king
personally, accompanied in some cases by a
more or less definite representation that the
government would assume them, or that the
privy council would pass a resolution to
settle tho bills. As an example Of the reck-
Iessness and wanton profusion Of the expen-
diture, the following facts viii suffice: Eight
hundred and thirteen suits Of clothing for
men and boys, 45S shirts, 740 hats, 7l6 pairs
of Shoes 8S7 dresses, to say nothing of the
other articles Of attire, masculine and fem
inine, were given out, the aggregate cost
being over $4,000.
The committee find that commissions were
paid to certain parties for orders, and that,
as Mr. Mantalini would say, orders were
pressed on persons who had no possible use
for anything of the sort. Another expedient
which was practiced was to take out the
amount Of the order in other things-an or
der for a black mourning suit in baby
clothes, for instance. The committee recon-
mended the payment of claims to the amount
Of something over $4,000, designating GER
tain claims, which are clearly for Legitimate
and necessary expenses, to be paid in full,
and declaring that the rest be divided among
the different claimants as shall seem proper.
As to the residue the claimants should pro
coed against his majestys estate, which, ac-
cor1ing to the showing before the committee,
seems clearly liable for the amount.-Hono-

Fonr Tvne Colora Of ueir,

There are four type colors of bair-white,
blonde, black and brown-and each Of these
has been subdivided into sixteen different
shades The commonest types are black and
brown, and these arc cheap Golden brown
is much in favor, as is pure black, or what is
called blue black. Next to pure white hair
the demand is for hair of the color Of virgin
gold. There are many braids made of hair
colored to meet the demand with certain
preparations, but they prove unsatisfactory.
Many foolish women have sought to change
the color of their own tresses, but they have
uniformly repented the attempt. A fine suit
of hair Of the purest blonde type will sell for
from ], 900 francs to $500 francs. It is said
that the Empress Eugenie paid 1000 francs an
ounce for braid Of golden hair that exactly
matched her own.-Emile Nouveau in Phila-

o that flows through it from warm,
quick flowing blood No water put on the
outside has a like effect to the water that
comes from the inside. This is the reason
why it is called the tennis skin, because the
girls who play tennis wash out their skins
with perspiration at least once a day.
ssThere is another sort, and a very beautiful
one it is, known among the girls as "a Turk
ish bath skin That comes from thorough
sweating, too, but while it is very lovely I
like it less than the tennis skin, because the
flesh and muscles are not made as firm
beneath it as by that outdoor exercise, and
therefore the contours underneath it are less
round and smooth and it does not wear so
well; wind and sun injure it, it is given to
freckling and to chapping, and hot rooms
make it dry and forid, while the tennis skin
is warranted to stand anything and keep its
beauty. The Turkish bath skin is velvety
rather than satiny, and has rose leaf and sea

Palace Cars cor Hens.

One of the latest improvements in the
transportation of poultry is patent palace
car on the Lackawanna railroad, designed
for tho conveyance of live fowl The car is
two feet higher than the ordinary freight
car, contains 1l6 compartments, each one
four feet square, in a series Of eight decks,
with an aisle running through it crosswise
and another one lengthwise. The capa-
city of the car is from 3,5O0 to $500 fowls,
according to the season of the year. By
system Of drop decks the fowls are
loaded and unloaded at the bottom of the
car, the sides Of which are Of strong wire
netting, in which are the doors to the several
compartments On the top Of the car in the
center is a water tank large enough to sup
ply a full load on journey Of 1000 miles.
Each compartment is supplied on three sides
with abundant food and water, by a system
Of troughs and hose that is easily worked on
the inside, no matter how great a speed the
train may be going at. The food is carried
in box or tank beneath the car.-Railway

He Saved His Neck.

We can vouch for a remarkable "fndn in
the case of a gallant Federal officer of Brook
line, Mass, who, upon visiting one Of the
battlefelds around Richmond some fourteen
years after the war, traced up the former 10
cation Of his command and found the neck
Of a champagne bottle, with which was con-
nected Little incident Of those stirring times.
The bottle, with rs exhilarating contents.
had been carefully watched over and saved
for some time previous to the battle, for the
purpose Of celebrating the event" when
Richmond was captured. a sudden dash Of
Confederates, however, changed the pro
posed programme, and headquarters had to
be hastily abandoned, but not before the
neck had been knocked OFF the precious
bottle and its contents put beyond the reach
of the attacking Confederates. The officer
mentioned above has since had the neck
made into a handsome ornament for his
Office table, and naturally prizes it very
highly on account Of the peculiar associations
connected with it.-Norfolk Landmark.

Different Styles in Stationery.

Elegant people will not write with lines,
oven though their characters spread all over
tho page So the best paper is either in the
small squares or blank surface. "Shagreenn
is a favorite brand. 1t is a thick bond paper
in all tints, but most preferable in severe
white. The large square envelope, for which
the paper is folded once, is in demand. The
extra long narrow styles are confined to notes
and invitations.
Bright colors are never elegant. There are
people who will write their sentiments on
green paper and send them in yellow en-
velope, in defiance of all good taste. These
outre styles can only be tolerated in children
or schoolgirls.
Sealing wax has had a renaissance, and is
again returned to the past. 1t is too much
trouble, and unless skilfully used disfgures a
letter, 1t is never in bad taste to use it,
however, especially with mourning CORE

The Euealyptus for noIIers.

In their official report to Rear Admiral
Gherhardi, commandant Of the navy yard, a
board of naval engineers stated they consid-
cred the use of the eucalyptus boiler scale
preventive of great advantage in lessening
the deposit of scale and in rendering what is
deposited soft and easily removable, prevent
ing as it does the scale from adhering to the
surface of the boilers. The test had baen
employed in tbs stsaIning boilers Of the
Richmond for over a year, and the interior
surfaces had been kept free from scale with
out the use of scaling tools, it being oniy
necessary TO wash she boilers out with a
strong jet of water from the steam hose. In
disabling boilers the deposit Of scale was also
lessened. The interior surfaces of the boil
ers, these officers reported, show no sign of
pitting or cOrrosion. Scientific American.

The modes Of deaths approach are various,
and statistics show couclusively that more
persons die from diseases Of the throat and
lungs than any other. Il is probable that
every one, without exception, receives vast
numbers Of Tubercle Germs into the system
and where these germs fall upon suitable
soil they start into life and develop, at first
slowly, and is shown by slight tickling
sensation in the throat and if allowed to con-
tinue their ravages they extend to the lungs
producing consumption, and to the head,
causing catarrh Now all this is dangerous,

The Ncw Exodus.

For many years spirit OF unrest
has animated the southern blacks.
They have moved in shoals from the
old southern states into the Missis-
sippi bottom thence into Arksnsas
and even into Kansas. Last year the
movement in Texas tended toward
the lower B;azos; this year it is to
California.
Constitutional government can only
exist among homogeneous people.
The negroes cannct be assiinilated
safely. 1t would require thousand
years 10 produce from their fusion
with the whites u homogeneous race.
Ttat race would then be utterly alien
20 the people north of the Ohio river.
In view OF these facts, it viii be well
to encourage the negroes to migrate
to South America. Brazil particullr ar
ly with ITS warm climate, its forests
aud streams would be congenial 1t
was the dream of Jcilcr. )n to trans
plant these people to country of
their own. In this direction alone
lies the safety OF the United States
of the white and the colored people
as well. Ilumanitarlans can not do
away with human nature by means
of Blair bulls. The NJ ors were a
splandidly educated race, equal if not
superior to the Spanards; but they
had to vacatc the peninsula. Anal
gamation will destroy race prejudice,
but it will also destroy both the
races. In view of these things this
exodus of the negroes should be ac-
cclerated by every body. 1t would
be too much to expect craftsmanship
enough i'll congress TO forward it.
Both parties are too eager as yet for
votes.
