A Eoy Who Said Too Much.

A lady and boy came to one of our
matinees and got their tickets At the box
office. was standing near, and some
thing seemed to tell me that the lady was
a stranger, or unaccustomed to a theatre,
or something of the sort, so saw her in
side, and as the ushers were all busy
showed her where the seats were. AS
was doing this l noticed the boys eyes
were becoming enlarged.
1t was evidently his first matinee if it
wasn't his first sight at a theatre. AS soon
as his establishment began to wane so that
he could get his breath he asked, Mamma,
is this the church you told papa you was
goin' to today?" His mamma gave him
the usual maternal shake, but the boy was
having innings right along. The next
was: Mamma, this is the funniest church
I ever seen. What church,
He was caught out in that one, and his
mamma scored one by remarking: "You
talk too much for boy of your age. Now
keep quiet or I'll take you back home."-

QUEER THINGS DO HAPPEN.
An Unvarnished Recital of the Advent
ures of Fall River Urchin.

An Unvarnished Recital of the Advent
ures of Fall River Urchin.
A boy with a wonderful capacity for cold
water made kind of Noah's ark time of
it for people who dwell around the South
park. There is tall standpipe near the
park, where the sprinkling carts load up,
and the pressure from the pond at that
point is something like million pounds to
the square inch. Just what possessed the
aforesaid boy to climb that standpipe
while the band was playing gayly in the
band stand will probably never be known.
Possibly he had found life too slow at
the drinking fountain, and it may be he
didn't think that he could do the stand
pipe any harm. At any rate he Skinned
up and began monkeying with the cap at
the top. A full grown man with cold steel
appliances would undoubtedly have ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in UNI
fastening that cap, but the foot high urchin
found it easy enough. His accomplishment
will surprise him to the end of his days.
He was bending directly over the pipe,
stomach down, when the last thread of the
cap screw was loosened.
There was swish and roar, and the
million pound pressure sent a volume of
water thousand feet into the air. 1t
would have been a magnificent spectacle
but for one feature which froze the blood
in the veins of the assembled multitude.
As far as the eye could reach, and almost
at the very top of the tower of water,
tiny speck slowly revolved. 1t was the
small boy, helpless, and feebly waving his
hands and feet in hiSterror.
Fortunately the tremendous force sup
ported him, and the centrifugal power con.
veXing toward the sides of the torrent
kept him in the middle. 1t was wet work
looking on, but for few seconds nobody
dared to move. Then brave member of
the police department recovered his pres
ence of mind and darted to the Park house
telephone. A little later Superintendent
Kieran, of the water works, arrived on the
scene, pale but determined.
The same thought seemed to inspire the
crowd at the same moment, for 500 voices
exclaimed: You must let him down easy!'
Superintendent Kieran needed no such
warming He knew that to shut off the
supply suddenly meant terrible fall for
the half~drowned lad, who had ceased to
move up there among the stars, and with
a touch as light as a woman's he began to
turn back the swift tide in the main artery
Inch by inch the tower of water dimin-
ished; inch by inch that small speck of hui
manity descended. The excitement was at
concert pitch. Everybody spoke in hoarse
whispers. Finally joyous cheer rang out
The urchin was thirty feet from the ground,
and scores of arms were outstretched to re.
ceive him. Stand steady" was the order,
and the last spoonful of water was turned
off, and the boy dropped safely into the
network of hands. THAT beats balloons"

How Mai. Panitza Died.

On arriving at the ground Panitza took
the holy communion from the priest, said
prayer and walked with firm step toward
tree, against which he was told to stand
The whole garrison Of the camp-that is,
four regiments of infantry and one of ar
tillery--were drawn up on the ground, and
Panitza, recognizing several of the officers,
saluted them as he passed. When he
reached the tree a sergeant stepped forward
to blindfold him, but he took the handker-
chief from Che mans hands and adjusted it
himself, crying in a loud voice as he did so,
Long live Bulgaria"
Panitza was then tied around the chest
and waist to the trunk of the tree, and
firing party of twenty-one soldiers, com
manded by sub-lieutenant, took up its
position at twenty PAGES from him. The
command was not given by word of mouth,
but by strokes of the officers sword, and
at the third cut of the sword through the
air the squad fred. Death was instanta-
neous, and the sergeant, who marched up
to examine the body, revolver in hand,
was not required to give the usual coup de
grace. Subsequently it was found that all
the twenty-one bullets had struck.-Lon.

To Preserve Flowers.

An excellent authority gives the advice
to plunge the stems of wilted and dropping
flowers into hot water about oue-third
their length, taking care that the blossoms
are untouched. This process drives the
sap back into the flowers and causes
them TO revive in a short time, unless al
ready hopelessly faded. Cut away the with
e-ed portion Of the stem, before putting into
cold, sailed water, or wet sand, which is
better for the vases and dishes in which
flowers are to be kept, because it will pre-
serve them longer-Jenness-Mi Miller Maya

THANKSGIVING DAY.

The custom of observing a day
for national Thanksgiving originat-
ed among the pioneer pilgrims who
forsook old England early IN the
sixteenth century to form in Amer
lea a new nation which they called
New England. From that small
beginning sprung a festivity which
has grown with the growth OF the
nation till to-day it is observed by
more than sixty millions OF people
in America, and by Americans
scattered throughout the world.
No more appropriate custom has
ever been established than this of
the Observance of a day Of thanks
to the Almighty Ruler of the Uni
verse for the many blessings en-
loved by the nation by making it a
day of religious thanksgiving and
social festivity, when families and
friends may assemble and partake
of the richest bouRties which can
be provided for their enjoyment,
Long may Hawaii as well as
America enjoy the prosperity which
they have long had, and sing with
New England's Quaker poet, Whit
tier:
Once more the liberal year laughs out
Ger richer stores than gems OF gold !;
Once more with harvest song and shout
Is Natures bloodless triumph told.

Like Ruth among her garnered
sheayes;
Her lap is full of goodly things,
Her brow is bright with autumn leaves.
And bv the affairs wreathed with flowers
And fields Of fruit awake again

WAYS, and then went straight out
to a successful trial trip. Those
who saw the Nipsic as she first
came out of the water minus false
keel, a good deal of main keel
stern post, rudder, rudder post
and forefoot, can remember what
an undertaking it was, what an
amount of timber and metal, what
heavy castings, and careful lathe
work were required and above all
what a crucial test of the stability
of the way and the power OF
the steam engine had all to
be called into action before
the Nipsic touched water again
What has already been done
may be done again, and even
heavier ships than the Nipsic may
come here for repairs.
The completion of the deep water
passage through the bar may lead
to an extension of the power and
capabilities of the marine railway.
Steamers to and fro, between Japan
and California, between Macao and
Mexico, may come here for repairs.
When once the harbor is dredged,
new wharf accommodations will
appear, and many ocean ships may
be berthed without having to turn
two right angles before they are at
their wharf, Las they have to do now.
Doubtless the experience Of the
Nipsic is carefully recorded in the
archives of the Secretary of the
United States navy, as we happen
to know is the case in the British
Admiralty.
In these days when every war
ship or passenger steamer is mass
of machinery, pqnderous and mas
sive as it u.s. yet so frequently driven
so near to the margin of safety that
great repairing shop as Honolulu
might be placed, as it is, in the
middle of so many great transcon-
tinental routes, all centering, as it
were, on this spot, would be an i'm
mense advantage to all the shipping
of the Pacific, and circulate sums
of money in wages and material
that would help to keep mechanics
in the country in full work and
ample wages.

MARINE REPAIRING STA
TON.

To make Honolulu widely
known for facilities in repairing de-
fects in any class of ship that may
visit US is an object worthy of the
best attention that can be given to it.
For some years now the Marine
Railway has been at work without
a hitch. Every interjsland vessel,
steam or sail, uses it Familiarity
from the Claudine and Kinau of
near 500 tons each to the Wal
manalo and Mokolii of so tons.
Many of these vessels have under
gone structural alterations or re-
pairs calling for high class OF
technical ability and plentiful ma
terial to effect. Whether in the
hands of shipwrights or engineers
the result has been universally
satisfactory.
Not few ocean ships have been
hauled up and repaired including
the S. S. Suez some years since
and more recently the o. S. wal
ship Nipsic of 1875 tons with her
engines, boilers and crew OF board

PROF. KOCH ON THE CURE
OF CONSUMPTION.

In an article on Microscopic
Laborers and how they serve US, /"
the English Illustrated Magazine,
Prof. Percy F. FARMLAND explains
that as far back as 1852 it was dis
covered that the disease known as
anthrax, or splenic fever, is pro-
duced by the presence in the blood
of the being affected, of particular
micro organism called the Bacillus
Anthracis," and year by year one
disease after another has been con-
cIusively demonstrated to be the
result of similar causes. Amongst
the greatest of microscopic observ-
ers the professor places Louis
Pasteur, whose name he justly
says "is familiar in every corner of
the globe where civilization has
made itself felt" Following in the
footsteps of Pasteur are q long list
of Jealous Investigators by whom a
large amount of most interesting
and important information has been
collected concerning the unseen
world of heterogeneous. By the
investigations of Cagniard Latour
and Schwann fifty years ago it was
found that the mysterious substance
known to brewers as yeast or
tam" was really composed of
vast numbers of minute oval par
ticles endowed with the powers of
growth and multiplication, and
therefore undoubtedly living. Pas
teur himself spent many years in
the study Of these minute oval par
ticles of yeast, and made many dis
coYeries as to the nature of their
organism and their action in differ
ent circumstances as to en-
vironment, temperature, etc
Amongst the diseases to which
the human being is liable
there is now indisputable evidence
that erysipelas, tuberculosis (ot
which one of the commonest form:
is pulmonary consumption) anc
others are brought about by tn,
presence of heterogeneous, willis
in the case of many other diseases
the proof is all but complete.

serts that Professor Koch, the dis
coyerer of the cholera bacillus, hal
at last found out means of curing
or at least arresting the progress o
consumption.

II ia wonderful to see the number OF

points on the coast. From one point in
Nebraska a colony OF six hundred went
to Southern California. They went fully
equipped to camp out until they get
houses built to go into.
