their unlawful modes Of fishing. by which little

With their growing strength it seems they

ways they displayed when seeking a foothold
and are a terror to the community, through
the infamous deeds Of their secret societies,
their wanton disregard Of human life, their
concealment and assistance OF criminals and
their reckless perjury in courts Of Justice
They have now even undertaken to dictate
legislation in their favor by the use of Doodle
and a lobby, American fashion. At the last
session of the Hawaiian legislature it was
charged that the Chinese, including some Of
the wealthy merchants, raised q large sum Of
money for the express purpose Of bribing men,

At the same time it has developed our ocean
carrying trade, which had almost become a
lost industry, to the large extent shown above.
The big freight list Of one of our vessels plying
between San Francisco and Honolulu presents
a curious illustration Of the infinite variety Of
our products, in all the wide range from the
needs to the elegancies Of life, that are now
purchased by the Hawaiisns under the reci-
procity treaty.

are profting SO greatly by this trade that

Hypnotizing a Hen.

Within the last month l have made
an interesting experiment with fowl.
Some choice eggs being sent me for
Matching purposes (having no hen at
that time broody and no incubator), 1
determined to set one Of my hens on
these eggs and keep her there by the
force of mesmeric power. The eggs
We're not fresh when received them,
and to keep them with the uncertain
hope OF hen becoming broody might
have been fatal to their Matching. I
therefore went against nature and sat
my hen upon these eggs she was in
full lay at the time, and remained so
throughout the three weeks that she
was sitting, laying according to her
wont, two out of three days. Those
who understand poultry will appreciate
that 10 hen will do this, having become
naturally broody, although for the first
Gay or two after being set on eggs /
nave had hens lay once, OF even twice.
Marking the eggs set her upon, I was
able to know and withdraw the eggs
she kept laying.
The first day | placed her on the eggs
1t took me half an hour to bring her
into hypnotic condition, but each sue
cessive day, after having reused her to
drink and eat. was able to sooth her
TO drowsy nlacidity in much less time:
Also there We're days, for which I can
give no reason, when I had to go to her
more than once day, she being in a
restless, excited state, trying to get off
the nest. The result has been, much
to my own establishment, that four ou5
OF seven OF these eggs have la.ched
and are healthy, happy little chickens.
At night l can still influence tha;,.

the daytime she takes no notice If then,

drilling sort of days, a true type of the
prevailing kind Of weather we have
had this winter. Sunday night, how
ever, change came of a colder temper
allure with considerable of a snow fall
and this more wintry condition of
things has continued, making everyone
feel better in mind and body Itseems
the only thing lacking to cause people
to feel supremely happy these times is
falling thermometer and the lower it
would get below zero the better it is
certain would the average human be
satisfied. The river has coating of
ice upon its bed, very thin as yet, to be
sure, but enough to indicate a degree
of thickness some day to insure crop
of ice for the coming summer The
colder weather has had Statutory effect
on sickness most of those ailing feeling
much better with the change in the at

have seen the worst of the influenza,
