A NOISY MAN,

Although noisy man may be
A nuisance worth abusing

Is, somehow, so amusing.
It's fun TO hear the endless flow
or senselsss sound he's dropping
And think that he is wound to go
Forever without stopping.
While others writhe in pain because
He's making them so tired
watch the motion Of his Jaws
And wondor if they're wired.
Though he is called windy bag"
Aad other names as funny,
rs Worth, think, to hear him bras
About one cent OF money.
While people hate his vain conceit
And think he isn't witty
And sadly snub him on the street,
feel for him pity.
Born without brains he can not see
Himself as others see him:
Besides he's very good-to be
freak in some mu-see-um.
Because pity him, in such
A proper place I'd shove him.
For, while like him-rather much.

Still, though he's such nuisance cool
That, gladly, we'd destroy him,

Imagines we enjoy him.

ADVENTURES OF A WATCH
A Lady's Time Piece Which Is Continually
Rainy Lost and Found.


Some years ago handsome watch
for woman's wear Travelled from Switz-
erland to aProvidence jewelers. where
in show window it attracted attention
as proper gift to bestow upon friend.
1t was purchased. put in its pretty case
with the chatelaine attached, and the
whole later lost before the purchaser
arrived home. Three days later it was
advertised as found and was again in
the possession of its purchaser. ltwas
bestowed upon the friend. Before
many days, after the lady had returned
from q drive, the watch was found to
have been dropped from its chate
laine. No research could find it.
Three weeks later it was carried into
jewelers. for sale, recognized by the
owner and recovered.
Sitting on the rocks at Narragansett
Pier one summer day, and wondering
if it were yet late afternoon, the owner
of the watch glanced down to see the
time aud the watch was missing. 1t
had been securely fastened, but the
chatelaine had broken and let go the
timekeeper. Going back to the hotel
the lady was spoken to by an
elderly man. Have you lost
any thing, miss?' was asked.
Eyes, a watch" Here it is.n And
uninjured the tramp piece of iewelry
was returned to the owner The
chatelaine being repaired stoutly, the
watch was worn to Philadelphia. OF
course it was lost there, and equally g
course it was found by the chamber
maid in the hotel and mailed to the
owner in Rhode Island by the pro-
prietor of the house. Expostulation
from friends proffered advice, which
is said to possess an unpleasant odoc.
and chidings, failed to make the own

Packing Eggs Large End Down.

want to give you my method for
keeping eggs, for have tried nearly
all the processes, and have found none
that kept eggs with less deterioration
from the fresh state than the follow
ing method: Take a stonewarc vessel
(earthcn will not answer on account OF
its porous nature) or clean haIf-barrel,
and put in layer Of common salt two
inches deep; then place the eggs with
big end down, close together, but not
touching; cover by carefully sprink-
ling salt between, and cover the eggs
about one and half inches deep,
Then proceed with the next layer in
the same way The large end OF the
err is where the air-saci or bubble is,
and bv placing it down the contents OF
the shell hold it in place and prevent
it frcm expanding. and also, to much
greater degree, will prevent the yelk
from settling to the shell. Careful ex-
periments showed me what an aston
ishing difference there is in eggs kept
even on a hole-bored shelf. with little
or big ends down. Careful experiment
has proven the desirability OF large
ends down. Poultry Keeper.

THE HAMAKUA POLICE CASE.

We have received two letters on
the matter of the late Chinese po-
liceman at Honokaa. One of them
is addressed to the Marshal, the
other to this paper. Both go into
the character of the policeman and
doings in which he was involved,
and their writers vindicate them
selves against Deputy Sheriff Ly-
mans Instructions of improper mo-
tives for their previous anonymous
letters. Neither of the correspond
ents, however, deal with the main
point at first raised by them, and TO
which the Deputy Sheriff s. denial
was particularly directed. Namely,
that this Chinaman, after conviction
Of unlawfully dealing in opium,
was retained in his office of police
man. We regard the other ques-
tions raised as scarcely important
enough for public consideration, and
,lo not see the necessity of the Mar
shal's correspondent divulging his
authorship of one of the published
letters. The retention of the police
man after conviction of CRIME was
what moved us to take notice of the
communications, and the Deputy
Sheriff must be allowed the full
benefit of his denial in that regard
until he is contradicted with evi
aence. 1t must be said, however
that the original appointment OF thi
Chinaman, if his character wa
generally notorious ut the time. We

The Lee Statue.

Gov. Lee said Tuesday he thought
arrangements will be made to unveil
the Lee equestrian statue early in
December, possibly by the 5th.-
That the statue is now being cast in
bronze in Paris. The Governor said
he had received a communication
from Mons. Bouillett, the sculptor,
who is also assistant of Mons. Mer-
Ger, and who has direct charge of all
details of that work, saying. for rea-
sons given in his note, that he thinks
ttthe statue will be delivered in
brons (for shipping) towards the end
of October. The Governor thinks
that military companies and organi-
cations of all kinds who desire to
take part in the ceremony attending
the unwilling of the R. E. Lee statue
should begin to make their arrange
ments to be in Richmond in the early
part of December. 1t is expected
that associations will be present from
every State in the South, and Rich
mond will have within her limits on
that occasion more people than at
any time in her history.

Jersey farmer, to several friends at
the New Washington market yes ter

GLOW do you figure that out?"
asked one of the marketmen.
'In the first place. the Jersey
man replied, ''iust try the skin of
any of your fruit. You will find
your apples and peaches and grapes,
and all your fruit for that matter,
which is home grown, with a thicker
and tougher skin than you have seen
for several years. That is one of the
indications. That is the way nature
takes care of her products. Last
winter apples and other fruits were
SO thin-skinned and tender that it
was hard to gather them without
bruising them, if you will remember,
and we had an extraordinary mild
winter.
