Life of Bachefor.

had become strangely interested in
the old guide. says Morris Waite in
the Detroit Free Press. A silent man
with stalwart frame. thick. gray hair
and tirmly-set lips. whose smile inten-
siiied. rather than lightened. the PEN
sive sadness of his face. His words
were few, and it was his custom when
not engaged in active duty about the
camp to sit aside and smoke his pipe.
while his thoughts seemed to be far
away.
l had managed to secure enough OF
the old mans confidence to obtain a
friendly word from him now and then
and determined. If possible. to hear
the story which was sure he could
tell.
With this object in view l pleaded
surfeit of sport one day and remained
Mt the camp when oil the others. save
the old guide, had gone out with rods
and guns.
/ succeeded in striking up conver-
sation, and with infinite tact and much
patience / had induced him to speak
of personal matters. and at last l asked
him squarely if he had ever loved a
woman.
The old man sat with his arms rest
ing on his knees, his pipe in his hand
cleared his throat. and in the stiffness
of the forest he related this brief story:
Il did love Il woman once" he said.
''an' / waited on her stiddy for a long
time. / was free. wild chap them

as / loved her, her folks KEEP naggin'

It's Her Own Fault.

Il would never have been an old
maid" said lady of forty to Il N. Y.
San reporter. IF had known as much
twenty years ago as | know now.
When l was at a marriageable time of
life | heard so much about unhappy
couples that l was afraid to become II
wife. But | have looked aroaud in
later times and have changed my mind
on the subject. Last year | took up a
list of twenty wives of my acquaint-
ance whom l had known before their
wedlock and to whom / spoke about
their experiences in life. | found
fifteen of the twenty were happily mar
ried, that four of them got along to.cr-
ably well with their husbands aud that
only one of them bewailed her matri-
monial lot. The fifteen happy wives
are amiable women, fond of their
children and helpful TO their husbands.
About the unhappy one of them l can
only say that she is a erumbler mar
ried to a growler and would be uuhap-
py anyhow. and as TO the other four
the fault is not all on one side. sus-
pect that the twenty married women |
have spoken of are fair specimens oi
wives in general. most of whom find
by experience that il is marriage that
makes life worth living. As / myself
am the soul of aniiability, l believe
that | would have made a happy mar
riage if / had not been frightened by
the stories heard twenty years ago.

1t is the custom for the Hawaiians to
shave the right side of the head or
beard mt the death of the king, and
many of the kahali bearers around
Kalakaua's bier beautified themselves
in this fashion. One old chap who
crouched in the corner of the room had
his beard chopped fancifully, SO that
the repulsiveness of his countenance
was magnilied. He was what the ma
tives call II kaula, or prophet and be-
longed to the race of kahunas. There
were several of these gentry in the
room constantly and they managed to
make their voices heard in all the wall
ing. Kalakaua was several sorts of a
kahuna himself and wrote on the sub
ject at great length. 1t seems that
shortly after he ascended the throne
he was much terrified to learn that the
kahunas. or medicine men," were en-
deavoring to pray him to death, I"
whereat he hastened to declare himself
the chief priest of all the Kahunas. and
after that held monthly meetings in his
boat house. which he named the House
of Wisdom" At these meetings, which
were held behind curtained windows
and amid the greatest secrecy. a species
of Eleusinian orgy was carried on.
There were present the kahuna maoli
or priests, the kahunasnaana or sorcer-
ers, the kahuna uhane or ghost doctors
and the kahuna pele or doctors of vol

the number of dips into the pulp male

counted and booked to each person
through whose hands they pass. They
are made at Laverstroke. on the River

Portal, descending from IL French
Huguenot refugee. and have been made
by the same family for more than $50
years. They are printed within the

rangement for making them SO that

shall differ in some particular from the
other. -

A connical story is in quiet circula-

of Supervisors anent some of the new

individual lately installed by the new

is in good condition for blowing now,
and the sooner you tackle it the sooner
it will be done. Better hitch up and
go at it right away
A dazed expression came over the
farmers face and he seemed for
moment at loss for reply. At last he
said something in the tone of u man
recovering from fainting fit:

myselfP''

A curious test is being made in the
coal-mines of Cardiff. 1t is proposed
to light the mines by electricity. but
apprehension exists that the gases in
the mines may be ignited and an ex-
plosion caused should one of the little
glass globes about the light be broken.
When the globe of an incandescent
light is broken the light is at once ex-

determined is whether or not the thing
