well, the race came off, and beauty
it was. The favorite, a horse named
Marquis o Lockhaven, was backed to a
standstill, and when they got away went
straight to the lead Ahmud Khan

out Of the pack slowly, but steadily ad-
vanced till at the three-quarters he was
ON the Marquis flank. At the mile he
had crept up to his withers, and when
the finish was about 100 yards off, Toms
little darky gave him the whip and he
came under the wire a winner by a

couldn't make good at TattersallIs, where

Hawaiinns of old.

In old days the Hawaiians seem to
have been always ready for fighting,
and to have set about 1t in a most
deliberate way. AS matter of
course every man was regularly drilled
in the use of spear, javelin, sling and
stone, and all other means of offense
and defense. In time Of war, says
the Paradise of the Pacific, all were
required to follow their chief to the
field, and any man who showed any
symptoms of cowardice had his ears
slit and was led into the camp with
a rope around his body-a measure
which greatly assisted the nervous in
overcoming their fears.
Some Of their war customs were
almost identical with those Of the
Fijians, as, for instance, the boastful
shouts of defiance, and the advance
of scouts. or of single warrior, de-
ridingly carrying only fan, as If to
brush away harmless flies, and chal-
longing the foe to attack him singly.
Perhaps, in reply, a dozen spears
would be cast at him at once; and
those he avoided by nimbly twisting
or jumping aside or STOPPING. Some
times he caught them in his hands
and hurled them back at his assail-
ants. Truly, civilized warfare leaves
us no such picturesque incidents as
these.
The Hawaiians carried no banners;
but the idols, borne by the priests,
acted as rallying points and inspired
the combatants with vigor. AS flags
of truce, they sent young banana
trees, whose broad and long silky
green leaves waved as they moved.
Then the chiefs and priests Of both
tribes met, to decide on terms OF
peace. This done, they sacrificed a
pig and poured its blood on the
ground, as a symbol Of the fate that
awaited the truce-breaker.
A wreath of the fragrant MALE was
woven by the leaders of both sides
and deposited as their joint offerings
in one Of the temples. Heralds were
then sent round to proclaim peace.
This happy result generally oc-
Cured when the opponents were well
matched, in which case each acknowl-
edged themselves to be luka lua-i. e.,
beaten. But if either party was vic
tOrious then the vanquished were
treated as slaves and made to culti
vate their own land for the conquer
ors. Some were sacrificed on the
affairs of the bloodthirsty god of wa
and their wives and children became
the property of the victors.

Keats as far as known. Coleridge
was an inyeterate opium eater, but
when cured OF that he became adj
dicted to snuff. Campbell had a ten
der affection for his pipe and never
got over 1t. Sir Walter Scott smoked
when riding and after dinner, loving
both pipes and cirgars. Byron sung
perhaps more than any other poet the
praises OF sublime tobacco" but 1t Is
well established fact that he smoked
very moderately.
Goethe, like Shakespeare, did not
smoke. Carlyle took great comfort
from the weed for many yeara before
his death-greatly to the disgust OF
his wife. Douglas Jerrold used to
puff away between his jokes. OF
noyelists of this century, Dickens and
Thackeray were both smokers, and
Lord Lytton INDUCED in pipe at
night but preferred cigars In the day
time. Moore, the Irish poet, cared
very little for pipes or cigars, In fact,
Irish gentlemen as rule, smoking
much less than the English, and the
Germans more than either.

bacco, as was also Sir Robert Peel

A Rival of the Yosemite.

In the Sierra wilderness far to the
southwark of the famous Yosemite
Valley, there is yet grander valley
of the same kind. 1t is situated on
the South Fork Of Kings River, above
the most extensive groves and forests
of the giant sequoia, and beneath the
shadows Of the highest mountains in
the Eapgee, where the canyons are
crowded most closely together. 1t is
called the Big Kings River Canyon,
or Kings River Yosemite, and is
reached by way of Visalia, the nearest
point on the Southern Pacific Rail-
road, from which the distance is
about forty-flve miles, or by the Kear-
sarge Pass from the east side Of the
range. 1t is about ten miles long,
half mile wide, and the
stupendous rocks of purplish gray
granite that forms the walls are from
$500 to 5000 feet in height, while
the depth of the valley below the
general surface of the mountain mass
from which it has been carved is con-
siderably more than a mile. Thus 1t
appears that this new Yosemite is
longer and deeper, and lies imbedded
in grander mountains than the we'll
known Yosemite of the MERGED.
Their general characters, however,
are wonderfully alike, and they bear
the same relationship to the foun-
tains of the ancient glaciers above
them.

causes as named above, the hostility
of Chill to the United States is or
long date, and has been greatly fos-
tered by the intimate relations of the
little nation with Europe. More than
seyentyyea ago American merchants
and sailors had bitter reason to COM
plain of Gillian barbarity, and In
these later years a thinly yelled ha-
tired of Americans and all their insti-
buttons has been conspicuous In
Chill.
The steady inflow of foreigners OF
wealth and talent has led Chill TO be-
lieve that it is the center of the world,
and that all other nations are provin-
cial. The arrogance and presump-
ton of native Gillian, even when
he is a man of cultivation, must be
seen to be appreciated. AS for the
United States, Chilli firmly believes
that she could annihilate that nation
of boosters in a fortnight, and has
more than once seriously discussed
the project Of taking San Francisco.
The aggressive spirit OF Chill has
been greatly fostered by England, and
she found it to her interest to en-
courage the building of strong Chill
ian navy. She furnished engineers
for il, gave it a practical schooling,
and it came generally to be under
stood that Chill was an outpost OF
England in the Pacific, and that the
CHILEAN policy was certain to be d1a-

Tobacco and Fame.

An American woman who considers
graceful smoking an elegant accom-
plishment has taken the trouble to
accumulate a number of facts relative
to the great men who have been adj
dicted to this habit, and submits the
following as the result Of her investi-
cation:
Ben Johnson loved the weed and
smoked habitually, describing every in
cident of his experience with his pipe
with the gusto of the connoisseur,
Hobbies, the philosopher, smoked
after dinner invariably pipe, and
not moderately. Glorious Milton, be-
fore retiring, always INDUCED In a
pipe of peace and glass OF water.
Even Sir Isaac Newton was dreamily
blowing wreaths of smoke from his
mouth In his garden at Woolsthorpe
when the apple fell that led to the
discovery of the law of gravitation.
Addison was rarely seen without his
pipe at Buttons. Fielding, the nov
elist, added to the habit Of smoking
the vice OF chewing.
OF the more modern poets Shelley
never smoked, nor Wordsworth mol

When p. T. Barnum's winter quar-
tiers were burned two years ago one or
the lions escaped and entered the
barn of Mrs. Gilligan, a widow living
on Pequonnock street, Bridgeport,
Conn. says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Mrs. Gilligan bravely entered the
barn, grabbed the king of beasts by
the tail. and belabored him with a
pitchfork handle to drive him out.
Her pluck and courage were noted in
the newspapers at the time, and she
received many offers of marriage from
men in the far West who needed
brave wives.
Mrs. Gilligan has again distin-
guished herself. She is great poul-
try fancier, and her hennery Is a
standing temptation to the lawless
tramps and toughs who make that
neighborhood their headquarters.
Recently she heard her chickens max
inc an unusual noise, and, hastily
dressing, she got to the coop just in
time to see two men carrying OIL thlr-
teen of her fowls. She followed them
to their camp in the woods, and,
jumping into the midst Of the gang,
She grabbed the chickens from the
hands of the thieves, and gave them
a piece of her mind. Then she sent
for the police and made complaint
against the men. They were sent VI
for theft, and Mrs. Gilligan was com
plimented by the court.

HOW LENSES ARE MADE.
The Art of Manufacturing Spectacles II

The Art of Manufacturing Spectacles Re-
duced To u Science.
The art of making spectacles, says
the Popular Science Monthly, has
been reduced to a science. The bit
of glass to be formed into lens Is
fastened by means of pitch to small
block OF hard rubber so that it may
be more readily handled. 1t is ground
by being pressed against rapidly re-
volving metal tool, whose curvature
is equal and opposite to that desired
in the lens. This is known as the
"rough tool" and is made of cast iron.
1t is mounted on vertical spindle,
and Is kept moistened with emery
ana water SeveTrsf -grdueS or emery
are used in succession, changing from
coarse to fine as the grinding pro-
ceeds. As a result OF this process the
glass has a rough surface and Is nd
longer transparent. 1t is now trans
ferred to the "fine tool" This is
made of brass and has its surface as
true as possible. 1t is compared from
time TO time with standard curve In
order to insure accuracy.
In this second grinding the abrad'
ing material is rouge carefully cal
cined sulphate of from. Finally the
lens is polished by being pressed
against piece Of cloth powdered
with rouge and fastened to the rota
ting tool. The glass is now loosened

Boston and Yorktown are on their
way to Chilli The Petrol Is expected
to sail for the Chinese station In a
few days.
Were war declared 1t must be an
aggressive one. The United States
would be forced TO carry hostilities
into the enemy's territory, and Chill
would act solely on the defensive.
The latter Is simpler method or
warfare, and one In which an inferior
force can successfully cope with
superior one. So IL is not to be pre-
sumed that the United States govern
ment would have an easy time In
carrying war into CHILEAN territory.
The task of conquest would not be an
easy one, although there can be no
doubt as to the ultimate result.
Gillian torpedo boats are SO numerous
that hostile squadron would have a
hard time, indeed, TO keep up q
blockade along the coast.
The United States would be at a
great disadvantage, too, in supplying
its ships with coal in the event or
war. A naval officer says that each
ship would have TO be accompanied
by collier and take coal from 1t at
sea-a difficult operation, which
could scarcely be performed except in
good weather.
In case of trouble the destruction
to our commercial interests which a
well-manipulated Gillian navy could
cause can scarcely be estimated. On
