The Fontaines Lumineuses.

The work of dismantling the Paris ex.
hibition has already commenced, and
only a portion of the Galerie des Ma
chimes is now accessible to visitors. A
serious effort is to be made to preserve
the colored fountains, the idea of which
the authorities, by permission, borrowed
from the English patentees. The sue
Tess of these fontaines lumineuses has
been tremendous. Every night when
they are playing the excited French peo-
pie stand ON their chairs and watch the
changing colors with frantic delight.
"C'est rouge" they shrek to each other,
as the colors appear. "C'est vert; main
tenant c'est mauve." NJ. Menier has

behind the Times.

We fear that DR.. Stevens, of Pililadel-
phia, has been imposed upon. He tells
us that he has discovered the location of
the human soul; that it is situated in
the corpus callosun:. We are on
strained to think the doctor las been ex-
ploring in some old-fashioned cadaver,
for we are assured by many authorities
in the social world that it is no longer
deemed good form to wear souls in the
corpus callosum. Indeed, the most
fashionable people, we are told. hare
discarded the practice of wearing souls
at all; it is so bothersome to LOOK after u
soul and a pug dog at n and the sane

How he Hear Works.

A curious calculation has been made
by DR.. Richardson, giving the work of
the heart in mileage. Presuming that
the blood was thrown out of the heart at
each pulsation in the proportion of sixty
nine strokes per minute, and at the as
sumed force of nine feet, the mileage Of
the blood through the body might be
taken at 2o1 yards per minute, : miles
per hour, 1853 miles per day, 81 800 miles
per year, or 5,150,8S0 miles in a life
time of S4 years. The number of beats
of the heart in the same long life would
reach the grand total of 1859, 176, 900.

How to Get a Service.

have heard a great many complaints
about tipping walters in order to get a
good service at a restaurant. I used to
kick about it myself. But have adopted
a plan that beats it. I take my seat and

waiter and says: "See here, young fell

Partisan Barber shops.

Long ago a royal decree compelled
BARRIERS and hairdressers to hang at their
door a white basin, SO as to distinguish
them from surgeons, who sheltered
themselves behind a copper basin, and
these basins are still used for sign pur-
poses.
They are of oval shape, and a small
piece is Clipped out at n end. This is
intended to show that the basin will tit
the neck under the chin.
But nowadays there are no such basins
inside French BARRIERS shops. You must
wash the lather off your own face when
Figaro has finished shaving and cutting
you. Then, if you want your hair
dressed, you get back into the chair
and such uncomfortable chairs as they
are too-again, and the fellow recon-
mences.
There are some hairdressers who are
not BARRIERS, but all BARRIERS are hair
dressers, and most of them are also wig
makers. They put some very queer
signs over their shop doors sometimes.
There is one old man up by the College
of France who has an oil painting out
side his premises which represents Absa-
lom hanging by his hair to a large tree
while his horse is galloping away in the
distance, and below the following words
are written: ssIf he had worn one of u
wigs this misfortune would not have
happened him."
A barber of my neighborhood has a
sign which reads: sShaving done here
today for money and tomorrow for moth
ing" This tomorrow" that V
comes, and which the evening before is
SO often promised, is it not the most bit
ter sarcasm of all the illusions of life
that we are acquainted with?-Cor. New

Drew the Line at Breath.

Yesterday afternoon an aged and
somewhat infirm specimen of humanity
called at The Telegraph Office and sol
icited the liberty of writing a note,
which was accorded him. He was given
a seat at the editors desk, and, although
pens and ink were in view, he asked for
a pencil, which was handed him. Paper
was his next desire, and this was also
supplied. Carefully wetting the end of
the pencil and adjusting the paper in
from. of him, he ran his fingers through
the tangled labyrinth of iron-gray hair

and, with a far away look in his eyes,
he wrote what might have been o will.
His note written, he turned and blandly
asked for an envelope, "and if you
would kindly let me have a stamp with
it,"
A newspaper man can stand almost
anything, and he got the envelope and
stamp. Carefully inserting the note 10
the envelope and addressing it, he again
turned and requested that it might be
dropped in the ~postoffice, as he wished
to catch a train. This was all right.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS.

The sale Of real estate belonging
to the Lunalilo property and sold at
public auction Yesterday shows the
advancing figures Of the last 2 years
in this Kingdom, on good real es-
tate property, and is an index of
the abundance of money in the coun-
try, which must sooner or later seek
Investment at still low er rates Of inter-
est, than rule at present. City prop
srty, as shown by a recent sale of q
corner lot on the widened Alakea
street, has taken a large jump the
past year, owing no doubt to this
fine new street being carried to the
water front, it being the history OF
all cities of any commercial import
ance, that city property within the
confines or limits of the breadth of
the harbOr, maintains steady and
increasing value as long as general
prosperity exists in the country.
The nextlimportant real estate sale,
| (probably the largest block Of city
property ever sold here at auction)
takes places next Saturday, and
from its very central location, in the
heart of the city, leading direct tc
the harbor and wharves, we expect
very spirited bidding for it ant

suit of this sale,

REPLY TO HON. W. C. WILDER.

EpiroR BULLETIN This morn
ing's =. c. Advertiser reports the
Hon. W. c. Wilder as saying at the
mass meeting of the Reform Party
last night, that "his (mine) speech
from beginning to end was merely
trying to create raceiprejudicc. lie
(myself) tells you that this thing
will not he settled until the streets
run red with the blood of foreign
crs.'
Now, what ! said at the National
Reform mass meeting was: that
there was disagreeablc and obnoX-
ious element in this country which
ought TO be oustcd out of it, for il
is creating constant tumult and |
believe il has been threatened with
in recent date that this clement will

other bIoodshedding, until there is
such, bloodshed as will red the
streets Of Honolulu, and then they
will be satisfied; and further that
this obnoxious element predomin'
ates in the police and military.
Now will this community for one
moment construe this TO mean the
whole of the white foreigners. What
| said and | believe every right-lhnk-
ing man will say SO too, applied ia
that powerful political element
which has been disturbing the peace
of the country since June, 1887.

WARD POLITICIANS.

The so-called Reform Party must
be getting into straits, for it is
abandoning the high ground it took
early in the campaign and is fast
going to the slums. We were told
that principles, not men, were to be
considered, while at the grand rally
of reformers last evening the order
was reversed and we heard deal
more about men than about princi-
pies.
The one speaker whose utteranccs
have been published in the morn
ng paper stood in judgment upon
his fellow man, and should not feel
at all agetievel in case his coin is
repaid in kind.
To speak of an opponent ''as q
genial gentleman, Il good ueighbor
and q kind friend" is to say Of him
what any man should he proud Of,
but why go out Of ones way to say
that the same person "has been a
failure in everything that he had at
tempted" Possibly the very virtues
as borne witness to may be the cause
of want of success in gathering
ducats, an ability to do which is
not always the test of true man
hood.
The speaker in parading his
abounding love for mechanics, re-
marked that he himself had been 4
laborcr earning LESS wages than
the common day iaborer receives on
the wharves here to-day" and posi-,
bly, but for timely assistance, he
| would he earning the same wage to-
day. lti not every mans experience
or good fortune to he pitch-forket
into prominence and aiiuence. From
one who has been so elevated w
ought to expect more of humilit.
i and less vaunting.

in strut,ing among peacocks, ant
newly -hcdgcd reformers should no
speak con,emptuonsly Of less favorc'
aspirants for political honors.
