He Had to Pawn the Guns In Order to
Get Food for the Soldiers.
"reminiscences of life in the southern
seas were being told by number OF ac-
quaintanccs, says the Seattle Press
Times. They were all commercial
travellers. and two of them had been to
the islands.
ssOld King Kala'zaua's ambition to
own a navy said one, ''ended IN one OF
the best bits of international comedy |
ever heard Of I think the story, which
is perfectly true, is not generally
known, and I have never seen it in
print.
s'For years the genial old barbarian
had gazed upon the greatness of the
navies of other nations and cherished
the desire to be represented and have
the dignity of his kingdom sustained by
real armed cruiser.
'srThe more he saw of the warships OF
other nations lying in his own harbor
the more it preyed on his mind. AT
last the happy day came when he had
saved enough Notwithstanding the ef-
forts of his cabinet officers, who tried
to tempt him to play free5e-out ana
other games Of hazard, to buy navy
for his beloved government He had
already selected the vessel he was to
Euy.
cit was the American ship Ethan
Allen, a serviceab]e craft bought OF
Americans aud armed with four ten
Founders.
s'Then Kalal1aua conceived an idea
of reciprocity with Samoa, the nearest
neighboring group whose dignity ap-
preached that of Hawaii.
Cone fine day the Hawaiian navy
sailed off on it's mission. and in time
reached the harbor of Apia. The flag
of the sugar islands was pretty sight
to the commander Of the vessel, and the
gorgeous sman-of-war' drove the Sa-
means nearly wild with envy.
GA brass band, made up of Kanalxas,
played the national anthem every night
for lights OUT and every day the
dusky crew strutted along the beach
and looked disdainfully at the poor ma
tives Of Apia.
"After awhile the stores ran low, and
the Hawaiian navy was still two thou
sand miles from home. The command
er went to the merchants Of Apia and
ordered store of salt-horse and sea-
bread. They wanted their pay in adj
vance. The naval officer told them
with considerable dignity to charge it.
''''ro whom?' they asked.
'''To King KalalSaua,' was the reply.
"FWho is hep came next.
''The officer pitied their ignorance.
but he couldn't enlighten them enough
to get any stores on tick. lie finally
pawned the beautiful ten-pounders for
enough to last during the homeward
passage.
';The navy is now anchored in the
harbor OF Honolulu, serving as a quar-
antine station. 1t is said that the last
days Of the king we're shortened by
this setback in his life's ambition, and
that. frequently, when he looked VI
from an ace-high hand, there was u
pear1y tear on the side of his nose. OBJ
servers thought it was because he
couldn't win that he wept. but his cabi-
net officials, who sat at the game, knew

SHAVING WITH VASELlNE..
1t Doesn't Always Do to Believe in Rev
Schemes.

Schemes.
AS nurses are often called upon to
provide shaving materials, we recon.
mend the following: "a friend of mine
few months ago told me how to shave
easily and painlessly. The plan is to
use oil or grease, instead of soap, to
prepare the chin and soften the beard.
Vaseline is the most convenient, and it
should be rubbed in quite freely. Then,
with keen razor, shaving can be done
quickly and without the suspicion OF
pain. At first I couldn't reconcile my
self to doing without the orthodox
lather, and used soap after the vaseline
had been applied. But the soap is
really unnecessary and shaving with Oil
Or vaseline is cleaner as well as pleas
anter, and, what is moro to the point,
there is no irritation whatever to the
skin"
Such was the theory published in a
New York weekly journal Had it re-
manned confined within the limits OF
the paper that gave it BIRTH says the
National Barber, no harm might have
been done, but, unfortunately, several
journals of repute and standing, ever
ready to grasp progressive innovation,
boldly announced that vaseline was the
only article with which a man could
remove his beard. Perhaps the author
of it tried it on very cold morning, or
perhaps his razor was blunt, or per-
haps-and very much more likely he
was playing a little trick on an unsns-
pecting editor. Doubtless he never sus-
pected that powerful and influential
dailies would proclaim the method an
infallible one without investigation. As
result, thousands Of old men, 1niddle-
aged men and youths are vowing ven
geance against the man who recon-
mended such painful operation. !
Having sound tooth drawn is q trife
compared to shaving with vaseine. /.

Colorado Gold.

Few people know the real color Of
gold, as the metal is seldom seen except
heavily alleged, which renders it redder
in color than when in it's pure state.
The gold found in the Ural mountains
is the reddest of all in it's natural state;
Australian gold is redder than that of
California, while gold obtained from
the placers is redder than that obtained
from quartz. What causes these differ
emit colors is one of the mysteries Of
meta1lurRy. !, Il 8.8 5..s

His Heart Was Truo.

Twenty-eight years ago a young Irish
girl Of Downpatrick refused to marry
and accompany her fance to New Zea-
land, for the reason that she could not
leave her mother. The old woman en-
tered the almshouse, where her daugh-
ter cared for her until she died short
time ago. The former lover, who had
become rich in New Zealand, heard Of it
and sent a ticket to his sweetheart, who
is now, at the age Of fifty, on her way
to New Zealand, and the first time be-
yond the limits of her native town.

Curious Inscriptions copied IrO1n tne
Metal in England.
In the Newbery Magazine there is an
interesting article on BELL 1nscrip.
tions.'' A bell at Bentley. N. H., is in.
scribed:
John Eyer gave twenty pound
To meek a losty sound.
Several inscriptions on bells are of an
amatory character. A very common in.
scription is the following, found in Gov.
entry, Knaresborough, Northampton
and other places:
In wedlocks bonds all We who join
With hands your hearts unite.
So shall our tunefu1 tongues combine
To laud the nuptial rite.
On couple of Lincolnshire bells
one of 1907 and the other of 1e08-we
have the following:
When female virtue weds with manly worth
We catch the rapture and we spread it forth.
Very often the happy pair are re-
minded of the transformers Of human
existence and of the end of all things.
Here is a specimen of this kind OF ID
scription from Blackwell (179S):
When men in Hymens bands unite
But when Death goes his dreary rounds
We send forth sad and solemn sounds.
A very suggestive inscription is that
on the bell at Hough-on-theHill, Lin.
colnshire. 1t is dated 1858, and runs as
follows:
When you 90 hear this knournful sound,
Prepare yourself for underground.
Each bell in peal at st. Michael's
Coventry, if we are to judge from the
notices, had a special nse of it's own.
Thus No. was evidently the work
mems bell:
ring at SIX and let men know
When to and from their work to go.
No. was the bell for sunnoning
worshipers to church:
ring to sermon with q iusty bonnie,
That all may come and none may stay at home
No. was the fire bell, Of which, too,
we have a specimen in the church at
Sherborne:
Lord uuench this furious fame,
Arise, run, put out the same.
One bell in All Saints, Northampton,
says:
mean to make 1t understood,
That though I'm little, yet I'm good.
Whilst another at ST. Ives says
''Arise and go about your business
Punning' inscriptions are not often tc
be met with. The following, found at
Towchester, North Hants, may be held
as belonging to this class:
Pull on, brave boys. I'm METAL TO the back,
But will be hanged before I crack.

Zone summer, at the season when
the fruit was ripe, my mother made a
great quantity of cherry bounce for
the brewing of which she was famous.
After completing the process, she di-
rected me to throw the refuse of fer
mented cherries away and l did so. l
threw the stuff near the chicken-houses,
thinking that the fowls might relish it.
