Attention was called recently to the ire
mendOus popularity of the new fashion of
wearing feather boas Every lady, mar
ried and single, seemed to be determined to
have a boa of her own, and the result has
been that the demand has exceeded the
supply, with the direst consequences. The
manufacturers, driven to extreme meas
ures, resorted to all kinds Of eEpedients to
turn out boas enough to keep Kearny
street in n constant flutter.
The most expeditions method of manu-
featuring the boas is to take a piece Of
ordinary hay rope dipped in mucilage and
roll it in a heap of newly picked chicken
feathers The feathers adhere to the rope
i'll the required disorder, and after being
dipped in thin solution of shoe backing
and shellac to give them the necessary lus-
ter are ready to adorn the neck of fashion.
Unfortunately, just as the rage for these
boas was at it's height it rained somewhat
briskly, and the results have been most
disastrous.
The injured dresses are sufficient source
of anguish, but a worse calamity is the ais
most permanent discoloration of alabaster
necks, down which the homemade dye
ran, leaving inky streaks that nothing but
the stoutest scrubbing brush and a strong
solution of I've can remove. Numbers of
fashionable leaders both north and south
of Market street have had their cuticle
rasped so hard in the effort to restore them
to the Caucasian race again that they can
not wear low Hecked dresses for the next
three months, and the ball season is close
upon us. To make matters worse, the
feather ornaments have taken to mott
ing, and it is impossible, it is said, for any
man to go near full dressed lady without
looking as If he kept his wardrobe in the
henhouse-Sa Francisco Chronicle.

AS it is the little foxes" that "gnaw the
vines" making great havoc, so it is the
little points which indicate high breeding
One of these small induces of wide reaching
significance is an ability, intuitive or ac-
quired, to pronounce persons names cor
rectly 1t needs only the attentive listen
ing at the moment of introduction, or, If
that opportunity is not successful, it is
easy to inquire of third party or frankly
appeal TO the person himself and be righted
once for all. TO persist in miscalling one
conveys to the mind of that person one of
two things-either that you are too care
less to take the trouble to get the name
right or that the individual who bears it is
not of sufficient consequence for you to do
so.
Either opinion lays you open to the i'm
putation of imperfect breeding, which it is
foolish to so needlessly invite
Many persons address married woman
by her maiden name long after any excuse
for the blunder, if such ever existed, has
passed, and similarly address twice mar
ried woman by her widowed title, fault
that may be still more serious and embar-
RAISING under some circumstances.
The same people, or the same sort of peo-
pie, insist on COnfounding names of nearly
similar sound or spelling. 1t is very an
noying to Mrs. Smith to be called Mrs.
Smythe, and vice versa, and Mrs. John dis
likes heartily to be addressed as Mrs Johns
Frequently to the initiated the difference
in the letter of a name signifies much, in
which case to put the letter where it does
not belong raises the act from blunder to

In the early days of the conquest, the Gu
anches are spoken OF as being musical
and fond of dancing and singing. These
arts, together with those of basket weaving
and pottery making, were few relics of
great and remote civilization, and were
preserved in the same way as, if Eu-
rope were submerged, shepherds of the
Tyrcl, the Alps and the Pyrenees would
preserve the national airs and village

In the wild district between Hama and
Haiku, during July and August, the most
beautiful and largest apple orchards in the
world can be seen. The Wilderness of
Koolan, rs the district is called, contains a
forest of native wild apple trees, countless
in number, stretching from the sea far up
the mountain sides The trees vary from
forty to fifty feet in height, and in the har-
vest season, from July to September, are
loaded down with fruit, some white, but
mostly red A person standing in the
midst of this orchard can look around him
for miles, up the mountains and toward
the road, and the only thing in view will
be one vast grove of apple trees literally
red with ripe and ripening fruit, the
branches of the trees bending to the
ground with the bOunteous harvest
The crop of this extensive apple orchard
which nature planted in the solitary waste
Chard stretches over country from five to
ten miles wide by twenty miles long and
many of the larger trees bear at least fifty
barrels apiece. The fruit is delicious for
table use, and will appease both thirst and
hunger but as yet no one has taken the
trouble to make any commercial use of the
apples. When ripe they will not keep
more than a week, but they make excel
lent jelly and jam, and simply for the lack
of n little American enterprise millions of
barrels of apples are permitted annually to
fall to the ground and Honolulu Cor
