A Big Headed Boy.

Living on farm near Cherrytree, six
miles from Titusville, Penn, is Ralph
Alcorn, boy thirteen years old, who
has the largest head for his years on
record in that State. Three years ago
his measurement was for an st hat. Two
years later his head had grown to re-
Quire an 81. Last season an Ss dicer
was ordered for him, while this week 81
was the size required. The boy is very
bright and quick wtted, has wonder
ful memory, is good-looking, well built,
weighs 1OS pounds, and, though it is
very large, his head is regular in shape
and perfectly formed In playing he is
obliged to abstain from running, tor, as he
says, he is liable to become overbalanced
and to fall. The physicians say that in
the end he will experience no incon.
venience from his big head, as the body
will in time catch up with his head aud
thus even matters. = Chicago Herald.

Beasts of Burden in China.

Cinnamon have such regard for beasts
of burden, such as the OK and the mule,
that they make companions of them
when alive and never use their meat for
food when they are dead. These animals
usually live in the same building with
their masters, but in a separate apart
ment, which is especially devoted to
them, They are not required to eat at
the family table unless they wish to, and
meals are served in their rooms without
extra charge. They are expected to re-
port any incivility or inattention on the
part of servants to the master of the
house. A pair of oxen can reside in the
house of their master aud enjoy all the
privacy they would have in a stall of
their own, and sensitive and retiring
mule is never in any danger of being in
truded upon. Yet some people think
Cinnamon are not polite. 1srGs sgt

The Thinking Habit.

One of our 'passior poets" has lately
published metaphysical poem, one
stanza of which will suffice to give an
idea of what it is:
Think health and health will find you
AS certain as the day,
And pain will lag behind you
And lose you on the way.
Why not pursue this same line of reason =
ing to the bitter end, somewhat after this
fashion2
Think wealth, and you will get tt
A million, more or less;
Think silk, and in the closet
You'll find gros grain dress.
Think land when you are drowning,
Beyond all human reach,
And by this happy theory
You'll b. washed up on the beach.
Think bread when you are hungry,
And feast will there be spread;
Think sleep when you are weary,
And you'll find yourself in bed.
However much thinking" may help
to materalize all the good things thus
promised, one grand result will certainly
be accom- plished, for it cannot be denied
that the thinking habit will produce @
thoughtful generation. - Hasper's Month-

HOW ONE SOLDIER DIED.
Why an Application for a Pension
was Rejected

Why an Application for Pension
was Rejected,
The most extraordinary pension case that
has ever been before the pension office was
decided last week 1t was the application Of
dependent mother on the death Of her son
"in the line of Duty The son was in q Yer
mont regiment and at the front. The supply
train had been cap, p,ured by the command he
was in, and among the stores were several
barrels Of whiskey The heads of the barrels
were broken in and a general rush for the
contents was made "First come first seryedn
was the rule until the whiskey began to run
low, and an effort made to dip it out
The soldier, for whose mother a pension is
claimed was one Of the late comers, and he
had to lean over the de Of the barrel to
reach down with Lis tin cup for drink. In
a spirit Of deviltry so ne of his comrades
lifted his heels and threw him into the barrel
head first. He remained in that position to
tn great delight Of the fun makers. When
every one had enjoy the supposed joke the
victim was drawn out by the legs, and then it
dip had strangled him. The
mothers loss was the same as if her
boy had be N killed in battle, and as he was
in the service when he died, the claim of
death 'in the line of duty was set up with
the hope that the pension Office might allow
it to pass, considering her necessities and the
loyalty of her boy, who had volunteered In
pure patriotism and for love of his country.
The pension office clerks, however, do not
make the laws, and whatever their snypa-
thies for the poor mother might be or the
kindly feeling excited by the ghastly humor
of the aim, they had to consider that their
Gecision would be reviewed by a board of
government pens on lawyers The claim
was therefore rejected.

THE MADRID MUST NOT SAIL.
A Pronunciamento from the Haytiar
Minister

A PrOnunCiamentO from the Hayttan
Minister.
1t was reported in New York that the
Haytian minister, Stephen Preston, had
sent to Secretary Bayard, by direction Of
Legitime, declaration that the Haytian gov
ernment will hold the American government
liable for damages If vess Is are permitted
to leave American ports with arms on board
for Hyppolite Minister Preston's pronuncia-
nento referred particularly to the fitting out
Of the Madrid, now in New York, and the
Mercedes, which came from Boston and sailed
for Santo Domingo. Secretary Bayard was
evidently stirred up by Minister Preston's
declarations. They were referred to Secre-
tary Fairchild who Immediately notified all
collectors of customs and surveyors of ports
that they must prevent vessels with arms for
Hyppolite's forces from leaving their ! orts
1t was also learned at the Haytian consuls
office that Secretary Fairchild had put Mr.
Preston in communication with United
States Dist.-Atty Wilber Of Brooklyn,
and that Mr.. Preston had laid before
Mr.. WILDER the alleged evidence that
The Madrid is loading arms for Hyppol te in
Brooklyn waters. Col Ira B. Aver, chief of
treasury agents at New York, was notified
by Secretary Fairchild that he and his staff
were to put themselves at the disposal Of
Minister Preston. In the afternoon Mr. Pres
ton and Col. Aver had conference but
neither would speak of the steps taken to pre-
vent the Madrid from leaving.

A CHURCH SITE.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-Pleasc permit
me, through your columns, to say
few words on subject which inter
ests me and many of your readers,
although not altogether matter of
general concern. The Central Union
Church people seem to find some
difficulty in settling upon a site for
a new church ediiice. l am not
member of the church, and do not
wish to interfere in its affairs; but
as an attendant at the public services
and listener, beg most respectfully
to offer a suggestion. There are
three lots to choose from, and all
three corner lots. would suggest
uat of the three, the Beclley lot,
at the corner of Beretania and Fort
streets, is the best 1t is centrally
located, large, high, and has natural
drainage towards the sea and in
land, from the centre. Neither of
the other lots has so much to recon-
mend it, Then 1t is only inst across
the street from the site of the pre-
sent building, and the present site
could be retained and used for
horses and carriages.

A gentleman informs us that an
other pest, the "borer," that is so
destructive to sugar-canc, is appa-
rently affected by the mynah. lie
says that in districts where mynahs
are plentiful, borcrs are reported to
be almost unknown; whilst in dis
tricts where there are no
mynohs, borers are numerous
and troublesome. In the lia-
makua district, on the island of
Hawaii, mynahs are unknown, and
there borers are abundant and cause
great destruction of cane. The gem
tleman alluded to is so confident
that the mynah is remedy for the
evil, that he is desirous of procuring
the bird in large numbers for the
district just now named, and is will
ing to pay good price for them.

WHAT MYNAHS ARE GOOD FOR.

The mynah bird has the credit of
having put an end 10 the caterpillar
pest in the district of Honolulu.
These facts are undeniable, that
some years ago, when mynah birds
were scarce in the district, caterpil-
lars came in periodical droves, and
deyoured almost everything green
in their track; and when mynahs
became plentiful, caterpillars almost
entirely disappeared. Hence the
conclusion that mynahs are deyour-
ers of caterpillars.
The writer is doubtful, however.
of the accuracy of this conclusion.
Having watched the movements and
habits of these birds he has never
seen them feed on caterpillars, even
when the grass was covered with the
latter. Nor has he ever succeeded
in finding caterpillar in mynah's
crop, after many inspections for
that purpose. Nevertheless, it
seems that wherever mynahs are
numerous caterpillars are scarce
butthe mynah probably acts rather
as a preventative than as a cure.
He destroys the moth that breeds
the caterpillar and not the caterpil-
lar itself.

A GRAND OPPORTUNITY TO EX-
HIBlT the COUNTRY.

Hipil lEE GVuNlhI,
On the fifth day of May next,
about four months from the presemt
time, q great exhibition of every
mentionable article will be opened
in the city of Paris, the queen city
OF France and Europe. The Ha-
waiian Government considers it de-
sirabe that this kingdom should be
fully represented thereat, and no
intelligent and progressive man can
refuse assent to the Government
view of the matter.
No method of advertising coun-
try, its products, its industries, etc.
of equal effectiveness to exhibitions
has ever been devised. The desir-
ableness of advertising this country,
with the view of attracting people
TO it, increasing our population, i'm
proving our commerce, and in every
way bettering our standing among
the family OF nations, is SO gener-
ally acknowledged by our own peo-
pie that argument in support thereof
is omitted at the present time. The
opportunity which the Paris cNhibi-
ton will afford Hawaii of showing
herself to the wide world will be
one of superlative advantage. The
exhibition will be open for SIX
months, during which time millions
of people will visit it from all parts
of the globe. II this little kingdom
makes a good showing there, and
there is no reason other than the
apathy of the people why it should
not, it will by that means become
more extensively and better known
during those six months than would
be possible by all other means COM
bined in that number of years. Let
US be alive and embrace the oppor-
tunity.
The Hawaiian Government stands
ready to give all the aid and en-
enlargement in its power. 1t invite:
the public generally TO contribute
specimens of the arts, products
manufactures, and natural curiosi
ties pertaining to these islands; ant
, engages to defray the cost of for
t warding them TO Paris, and bring
: ing them back again at the close o
| the exhibition in all cases wher
2 their return is desired. Mr.. Joh
A. Hassinger will receive exhibit
at Government House for forward
= ing, until the sixth day of Febru
ary.
1t now rests with the people t
decide whether Hawaii shall make
!. shabby or a creditable showing {
the great Paris exhibition. The
may do whichever they choose.
they are apathetic and consider
l too much trouble to prepare an
send articles to Government House
a shabby showing will be the resul
But if they wake up, and do the
best, this little Kingdom of I'll
p Pacific will present modest but a
attractive face in the great Europea
capital which will catch the eye an
engage the attention Of great II;

. will decide, and decide quickly--fC
