THE UNDINE BALL
tt was a Brilliant Affair. and a Finan-
cial Success.

It was Brilliant Affair. and Finan-
cia1 Success.
The Undine Boat Clubs party last
evening at Turner Hall, given for the
benefit of the boat-house fund, was So
cial and financial success. There Were
over one hundred and fifty couples pres
ent, and the scene in the gayly-decorated
hall was a pretty one. Streamers of red
were suspended from the ceiling, and
there were other decorations which lent a
pleasing effect. The music of the orches-
ira was excellent. and the dancers en-
joyed themselves immensely. a pro-
grarnme of sixteen dances was the order
of the evening. The committees were as
follows:

servation, l can declare that Pan nursed
his brother as assiduously as any boy
could have nursed another; licked him,
cleaned him. brought him tempting bits

when his brother at last lay there cold
and unresponsiye to his efforts, his grief
and astonishment We're painful TO see.
From that time he ceased to play; from
being very lively dog he grew grave and
sad; he had wisrful, wondering inquiry
hold; and although he lived for many
years after, and was as happy as dog
can be, he never recovered his spirits; he
had buried his mirth in the grave of
Paris. Something was lost for him with
his brother which he never regained

RAIN SUPERSTITIONS.
Various Ways by Which Moisture is
Coaxed From the Clouds.

In the Caucasian Province Of Georgia,
where drought has lasted long, marriage
able girls are yoked in couples with an
ox-yoke on their shoulders, priest
holds the reins, and thus harnessed they
wade through rivers, puddles and
marshes. praying, screaming, weeping
and laughing.
In district of Transvlvania, when the
ground is parched with drought, some
girls strip themselves naked, and, led 10y
an older woman, who Is also naked. they
steal a harrow and carry it across the field
to brook, where they set ii attoat Next
they sit on the harrow and keep tiny
flame burning on each corner OF 1t for an
hour Then they leave the harrow in the
water and go home.
A similar rain charm is reSorted to in
India. Naked women drag q plow across
the field by night. 1t is not said that
they plunge the plow into a stream or
sprinkle it with water. But the charm
would hardly be complete without it..
Sometimes the charm works through an
animal.
To procure rain the Peruvians used to
set black sheep in a field, poured chica
over it, aud gave it nothing to eat till rain
fell.
Ina district of Sumatra all the women
of the village, scantily clad, go to- the
river, wade into it, and splash each other
WITH the water. "A Dlack cat is thrown
into the water and made to swim about
for while, then allowed to escape to the
bank, pursued by the splashing Of the
women. In these cases the color of the
animal is part of the charm; being black
it will darken the sky with rain-clouds.
So the Bechuanas burn the stomach of an
OK at evening, because they say, 1.-The
black smoke will gather the clouds and
cause the rain to come.n The TimOrese
sacrifice black pig for rain, q white or
red one for sunshine. The Garos offer a
black goat on the top of very high
mountain in time of drought.
Sometimes people try to coerce the
rain-god into giving rain. In China a
huge dragon made of paper or wood, rep
resenting the rain-god, is carried about
in procession, but if no rain follows it is
cursed and torn in pieces. In the like
circumstances the Feloupes of Senegam-
bia throw down their fetiches and drag
them about in the fields, cursing them
till rain falls. Some Indians of the ORR
noco worshiped toads and kept them in
vessels in order to obtain from them rain
or sunshine as might be required. When
their prayers were not answered they
beat the toads. Killing frog is q Euro
pean rain charm. When the spirits
withhold rain or sunshine the ComancheS
whip a slave; if the gods prove obstinate,
the victim is almost tlayed alive. Here
the human being may represent the god,
like the leat-clad Dodola.

HAwAIrs sMINIsTER OF FINANCE.
Calls on Secretary Blaine in Relation
to Commercial Matters.

Calls on Secretary Blaine in Relation
to Commercial Matters.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. - Dr. Mott
Smith, Minister of Finance Of Hawaii,
arrived in Washington to-day, accompa-
MED by c. X. Bishop of Honolulu, ex-
member of the Cabinet and at present
President Of the Board of Education.
DR.. Smith called on Secretary Blaine this
morning. His special mission is to Sc
cure notifications of the reciprocity
treaty between this country and Hawaii,
the operations OF which, so far as Hawaii
is concerned, have been seriously affected
by the operations of the new United
States tariff law.
Dr. Smith will also call to the attention
of the Secretary the matter of laying a
cable between the United States and
Honolulu. Hawaii, he says, is ready to
pay a subsidy to any company establish
ing cable line between the two countries.
DR.. Smith had been absent from Homo
lulu some years, and returned there only
Il short time before delegated TO come to
the United States. He found on his re-
turn that the desire for annexation to the
United States had grown greatly during
his absence. The feeling, he thinks,
however, is based more on a wish to par
ticipate in the commercial benefits to be
derived theretrom than from any hope of
political aggrandizement.
From the tenor of his conversation, it
is evident that he has no fear of English
interference in the affairs of the island.
In regard to the reports of the serious
illness of Queen Liliuokalani, DIR. Smith
pronounced them humbugs. The Queen
has now turned 30 years. She never has
been seriously i'll. and now suffers only
from colds or other slight indispositions
incident TO persons OF her age. The
Queen. the doctor ex planned, is often con-
founded with the Queen dowager, who

THE COFFEE DRUNKARD.
Once Under the Influence of the Berry
Release Is Almost impossible.

Once Under the influence of the Berry
Release Is Almost impossible.
In the course of his studies DIR. Mendel
found very few instances III which the con-
firmed coffee drunkard was ever cured,
says the London Standard. The symp-
toms constantly grow worse, and are only
to be relieved by large quantities of the
beverage the abuse OF which has caused
them. In this way the victims go from
bad to worse, for, though well aware of
the mischief being wrought, they suffer
so severely that they are afraid To aban-
don the habit less death should end the
agony of their existence.
After beginning with the agreeable in
fusion of the roasted berries they are
driven, in their search for something
more powerful. to swallow the tincture,
which, though it operates for a time in the
direction desired, soon loses It's efficacy
and has to be swallowed in greater and
greater quantities, the evil influence OF
the coffee being, OF course, hight
ened by the alcohol used to extract its
essential ingredients. When brandy is
taken only temporary relief follows,
though not infrequently the intoxication
produced by the latter is eagerly well
coined in order TO deaden the anguish by
the inordinate indulgence i'll the former.
The last stage of this peculiar disease
shows itself in the sallow face and chilly
with an expression of dread and agony
which settles over the countenance-a
form of melancholia. alternated by hy-
steria, only to be temporarily relieved by
repeated application to the coffee-pot or
to . strong tincture formed by stepping
the crushed berries in spirits of wine.
Meantime the diseased state of the body is
demonstrated by the acute inflammation,
which is apt to supervene at any mo-
ment. A bruise, a cut, prick. or sting,
which in a healthy person would be
scarcely noticed, is the starting point for
inflammation of any erysipelatous char
acter, so that it seldom happens that the
coffee inebriate is long-lived.
Coffee drunkards are more common
among people of nervous temperament
than in the ranks of the stolid, phleg-
matte folks, not easily moved by any
stimulus, or who, like many Germans,
prefer eating to drinking.
