Board of Health, Honolulu.
DEAR SIR: I beg to acknowledge
the receipt Of your favor of the 23d
of December, instructing me what to
do with the gifts sent for the leper
children, which [ have the honor to
inform you.
The several boxes containing the
various things were duly received on
the 9th of December. On the fol-
lowing day the committee met and
decided to have the presents distri-
buted to the children on New Years
day. Unfortunately the weather was
so bad on that day, that the commit
tee had to postpone till the 9Th inst,
when all the children, boys and girls,
were called together and the presents
fairly distributed among the poor
afflicted ones, who received the pre-
sents with delight from the hands OF
the committee, and the poor unfor-
Inmates were made very happy on
this occasion. So in behalf of the
poor unfortunates I hereby tender
you and the donors Of the various
things their greetings and heartfelt
thanks. l remain, Dear Sir,
Yours truly,

NATIONAL CHARITIES.

Portuguese Ladies' Charitable AssOcia-
tiOn-Large Amounts Spent for Re
lief-Snug Balance In the Treasury.
Mrs. A. de Souza Canavarro has kindly
furnished for publication the list of
officers elected for this year, and the re-
port of the treasurer of the Portuguese
Ladies' Charitable Association, which
appear below. A little calculation shows
that out of the total expenditures of
81 POP 90, the sum of 81 ,154.13 has been
devoted to works of charity and mercy.
This proportion of outlay for the prime
objects of the society is in commendable
contrast with the proverbial extrav-
agance in running expenses of charita-
BILE associations almost everywhere.
Following is the treasurer's report for
the thirteen months beginning Decem-
Der LIST, 1887, and ending December 31st,
1888:

Lucky KnaDsnck.

Some soldiers find it hard to throw
away their valuables even on the most
wearisome marches. A private OF
the Twenty-seventh Massachusetts,
was q man of this class, and had often
been laughed at for his popularity.
One day, during lull while the
army was before Petersburg, Private
H was sitting in the shade with
his back to the enemy, about ten feet
from where Gen. Stannard was stand
ing.
His knapsack, to which he had chung
in all our movements in spite of the
ieers of his comrades, was strapped
upon his back. A six pound shot
came ricochetting along the. ground.
He picked himself up in wild, con-
fused manner, and began feeling first
of his head and then of the knapsack,
and when the boys assured him he
was all right, he responded only with
a sickly smile. 49,.
Gen. STANDARD noted his condition,
and to bring him to" exclaimed:
That's a mighty lucky knapsack,
boy"
Eyes" said H, land I always
carry it."
After that it was useless to argue
the knapsack question with him.

RailrOadinS I'm England.

A paragraph has been going the
round of the newspapers to the effect
that in England locomotives carry
neither headlight, whistles nor bells,
and that guards are stationed at inter
walls of mile along the tracks If this
is correct the system of railroading
must have been completely changed
recently. Guards are only placed on
the track when royal trains are
scheduled, when by the way all ordi-
nary traffic is suspended. AS to head
lights most locomotives carry two and
some three, and on the crowded me-
tropolitan tracks officials and expert
enced travellers can tell what is the
destination of a train by the arrange
ment of these lights. Bells are not
carried, but the curse of the railroad
whistle can only be appreciated by
the man who lives near the mouth of
an English tunnel One of tho num-
erous board of trade regulations com
pells the engineer or driver" as he is
called, to blow the whistle before en-
tering tunnel or rounding q sharp
curve. This whistle is very shrill and
offensive to sensitive ears. On some
lines it is always blown at station in
response to the guards Tor conduc
tors signal to go ahead.-lnterview

After Her Young.

A naturalist contributes to Nature,
from the island of Crete, a paragraph
relating to one of the most interesting
aspects of bird life. A gardener caught
a young but fully hedged sparrow,
which he carried to the house of q
friend three miles away. He left
home early in the morning.
He presented the bird to one of the
children, and it was put in a cage and
hung at the window, where it seemed
likely to be contented, losing its fright
after few hours.
Later in the afternoon an old bird
was noticed nuttering about the cage,
apparently trying to get at the little
one, and the young bird at once be-
came frantic to get out.
The old bird was evidently the mo-
Their of the young one; the recogni-
ton between them was too cordial to
leave any doubt upon that point; and
when the girl opened the cage, as she
did after a little, they both flew of
rapidly in the direction of the place
from which the little one had been
brought
1t was believed impossible that the
old bird should have followed the gar
dener, as in that case it would have
been seen earlier in the day.

Sanderburx's Strength.

Writing OF Tritanus, the Samnite
swordsman, whose son carried the
giant with single finger, reminds one
of the remarkable stories told of Sand
erburg, King OF Albania, whose
swordsmanship has never been excel
led. Sanderburg was born In the year
1414, and grew up to be a splendid
specimen OF physical manhood. His
strength OF arm was the most extra
ordinary that has ever been known.
His sword arm was much the larger
and stronger, but even the smaller Of
the two, the quaint account says, was
gigantick inn its lordly proportions;
beinge as muche as two lappes around
it." A lappe was 12t inches, which
would have made the biceps OF San
derburg 24i inches in circumference,
or about one-fourth larger than the
arm Of John L. Sullivan. 1t is to be
regretted that the measurements Of the
sword arm of this Titanic king are
unknown, as they must have been
even more gigantic in their lordly
proportions.
With his cimeter lie was known to
cleave a man from the top Of the head
to the waist at single blow. 1t is re
lated that when in battle he frequently
cut his antagonist in two at one sweep
ing stroke.
Bailaban and his horde treated the
Albanians with indignities unbearable;
several of them were finally caught
and convicted. Among the felons
were two relatives of Bailaban him.
self, a brother and nephew. Sander
burg took it upon himself to execute
this pair. The order was given that
the king would lop the heads off these
two worthless in the palace court yard
Before the hour of doom had arrived
while the father and son were taking
leave of each other for the last time
the enraged king rushed upon then
while they were embracing and at one
stroke severed their bodies above the
hips, the mass of quivering flesh al
falling in heap. This extraordinary
exhibition of strength of arm ha:
never been equaled by swordsman
ancient or modern. John w. Wrigh

WHY WE ARE RIGHT HANDED.

Primitive Man Was q Fighter and Used
His Left Hand to Shield His Heart.
Primitive man, being by nature a
lighting animal. fought for the most
part at first with, his great canine
teeth, his nails and his fists, till in
process Of time he added tothose early
and natural weapons the further per.
suasions of a club or shillalah. He
also fought. as Darwin has conclms-
lively shown, in the main for the pos
session of the ladies of his kind,
against other members of his own sex
and species. And If you fight you
soon learn to protect the most ex-
posed and vulnerable portion of your
body. Or, il you don't, natural Sc
lection manages it for you, by killing
you off as an Immediate consequence.
To the boxer, wrestler or hand-to.
hand combatant, that most vulnerable
portion is undoubtedly the heart. A
hard blow, we'll delivered on the left
breast, will easily kill, or at any rate,
stun strong man. Hence, from an.
early period men have used the right
hand to fight with, and have employ
ed the left arm chiefly to cover the
heart and to parry blow aimed at
that specially vulnerable region. And
when weapons OF offense and defense
supersede mere fists and teeth, it is the
right hand that grasps the spear or
sword, while the left holds over the
heart for defense the shield or buck
Ter.
From this simple origin then, the
whole vast difference Of right and left
| in civilized life takes its beginning.
At first, no doubt, the superiority OF
the right hand was only felt in the
manner OF fighting. But that alone
gave it distinct pull, and paved the
way at last for the supremacy else
where. For when weapons came into
use. the habitual employment OF the
right hand to grasp the spear, sword
or knife, made the nerves or muscles
| of the right side far more obedient tc
the control Of the will than those OF
the left. The dexterity thus acquired
by the right-see how tho word "dex
terity" implies this fact-made it more
natural for the early hunter and artif
Ger to employ the same hand prefer
entially in the manufacture of film
| hatchets, bows and arrows, and al
the other manifold activities Of savage
life. 1t was the hand with which he
grasped his weapon; it was therefore
the hand with which he Clipped it
To the end however, the right HAND
remains especially 1.-The hand in which
you hold your knife" and that isexact
| ~ how your own children to this day
decide the question which is which

hand from their left for practical pun
