Those kind-hearted ladies and
gentlemen who amused Honolulu a
whole week with "Patience" have
much to answer for. During that
week their efforts were absolute
amusement, and if that had been
the end, pleasing memories would
have tloated around us to the end of
life. But that was not the end: it
was only the beginning. The fruits
of their lahors seem doomed to ap-
pear and last forever in a way that
is a public and intolerable nuisance.
"Patience" is in the mouth of every
body. All Honolulu is humming
and whistling Patience" A young
urchin perched himself at my tent
door the other night and started,
with the aid of a taro-patch fiddle,
"Will you marry me?" L lost no
time in marrying ropesend to his
back, without publication of banns
or allowing time for the interposition
of objections. The same day a
hoodlum of the highest type stood
at Goldberg's corner, smoking
two-cent cigar, making lewd re-
marks about passers-by of the gen
tie sex, and at intervals whistling
"I'm an every day young man." If
you are, thought l, the fewer we
have of your breed the better. All
the young ladies in the place, in
Guiding the school girls, insist that
they are 'love-sick maidens," and
pass their time in singing "Love is
a plaintive song" 1t may be, but
"the song of the kitchen and the
cook-stove" is much more interest
ing and entertaining to a
hard-working and hungry hus-
band. Sage business men in
their offices hum to themselves,
"Oh, hollow hollow hollow " and
"Lohg years ago." The first of
these is understood to refer to the
present condition of business, and
the second to the early days OF the
reciprocity treaty and the money

To enter into q discussion upon
the principles of good taste is only n
waste of time. What is good taste
and what is not, is not determined
by legal enactment nor determinable
by mathematical rule. Taste is
largely matter of education and
custom. The Chinese girl is proud
of crippled foot, and her Euro
pean or American sister thinks she
looks lovely in the Disagreement of
Grecian bend which remains in
view an hour after the lovely damsel
has disappeared around the corner.
1t is matter of taste. Choose
either. Each is equally ludicrous.
The ladies of ancient Rome applaud
ed the slaughter of living gladiators
from their fashionable seats in the
amphitheatre and | have seen la
| dies in the boxes of modern theatres
wave their handkerchiefs when
Richard III has been run through
the gizzard and beautifully initiated
all kinds of interesting convulsions
and writings, better adapted to the
dissecting-room of hospital. Taste
again, and the taste is pretty much
the same in either case. But it is
said to be refined and elevated taste
to have liking for King Richard
and all that class of theatrical pro-
duction, called "legitmate drama. !"
For my part, l would just as soon
spend the time in slaughter-house.
A good comedy or clever farce that
appeals to my risbilities suits me
better. l know this is vulgar
taste; that is, have heard so. Un-
fortunately, however, l am in har-
mony with the bulk of this claimed
-some-to-be "highly refined" COM

What is this we hear about send
ing the Hawaiian Band of musicians
to Paris? A splendid idea. We
have nothing better to send, and
nothing so good, if we except sugar,
rice, coffee, and arrowroot. 1t is
even debatable question whether
these products equal the band in
excellence. To advertise the coun-
try abroad, everybody says is the
correct thing, and no kind OF an adj
vertisement can be so effective in
creating an impression that we are
not bad sort of people as sending
the band. So far so good. But
what are we to do without the band
for so long period as it would re-
quire to go to Paris, make suffi-
cient exhibition of itself, and return
We should simply stagnatc and die.
At the shortest the band would be
gone three or four months, and
everybody knows that when 1t is
absent three or four weeks only, on
its annual vacation, we come neal
to giving up the ghost. Three OF
four months would see us dead ant
buried. What then should we gaiI
by being advertised abroad? Oh
no, we don't want to be advertised
at the expense of our own existence
would rather be unknown than dit
to be known. Besides, how many
people would the band induce t
come here? If we can show anC
convince the people who go to Pari:
that we have an unsurpassed eli
mate, scenery that cannot be seer
, elsewhere, and natural wonder
which are unequaled, they will
, some of them, come here to see ant
and enjoy for themselves; but the.
are not coming mere TO see ana nea
the band, especially after having

can do without the band so long

The Government has been loudly
lauded for its economy. A gentle
man recently said to me, 81 am
fully with the Government in its
economical scheme of retrench-
ment." Same here, said /. "But,"
said he, "you seem to imply that its
efforts at economy are all sham
yet you cannot deny that it has used
the pruning-knife to good purpose. +"
Certainly, said l, you are right; and
it has used the glue-pot at the same
time-the pruning-knife to cut off
and the glue-pot to stick on-cut off
from one place and glued on to an
other. Will you prove to me that
the gluing on of the superhuous
does not equal or exceed the prun-
ing off of the unnecessary? and will
you assert that there has been no
pruning off of the necessary in
order to glue on to the superhuous?

FREE CHEWING Gun.
How the Small Boy Plays Burglar
with the Pensy-fn.sbe-slot ma

chine.
The irrepressible small boy has
again come TO the front and demon
strated anew the justness Of his claim
TO notoriety. The automatic drop a.
penny in-the-slot-and get-your-chew-
ing gum boxes are the latest objects
which have attracted his attention,
and those boys who know how to
manipulate those mechanical arrange
ments can get all the chewing gum
they want without it costing them a
cent. Quite recently these boxes have
been distributed about the streets in
front OF stores and also in the stores
themselves. The mode OF procedure
is TO drop a cent in the slot with the
right hand and pull out the handle
with the left hand. These two opera
tions performed simultaneously set
some machinery in the interior in
motion, and a beautiful, fragrant
square Of chewing gum is precipitated
out upon little tray within reach. A
boy was noticed 10 approach one
Of these boxes yesterday, which
stood in front Of cigar store near the
Brooklyn end Of the bridge. He put
his hand in his pocket, drew out a
cent, dropped it in the slot and pulled
the handle. But he did not pick up
the package Of gum. lie maintained
his position in front Of the box, with
the right hand suspended two or three
inches above the open slot. Mean
time he worked his left hand yigor-
ously at the handle. Perhaps the ma
chinery would not work, and 80 failed
10 produced the gum7 Oh, no.
After working the handle for half
dozen or more times the boy evidently
became alarmed at the two near APP
proach Of some inquisitive people, for
he dropped the handle, snatched his
hand up from over the slot, and then
scooped up six or eight packages of
chewing gum. As he raised the hand
from over the slot the cent appeared,
dangling three or four inches below
his fingers. The explanation is this:
The machinery is set in motion by
the weight of cent, which permits
the handle, when pulled, to throw out
one package, after which the cent
drops through to the bottom Of the
box. The boy operated in this man
ner He had a fine thread attached
to the cent by little wax, or some
other substance, and as soon as he
had pulled the handle and the pack
age had dropped out into the tray, he
would withdraw the cent by means OF
the thread, and, when the machinery
had adjusted itself, repeat the opera
ton. Thus, if undisturbed, he could
have kept it up till the stock OF chew
ing gum in the box had become
exhausted. IN. Y. Mail.

operations there. He swore that the
timber was unfit for any purpose ex-
cept to be used as firewood, ETC., and
that refusal TO permit it to be cut
would ruin the farmers, as well as
miners, inasmuch as the farmers do
pend upon the miners to buy their
produce.
