III Honolulu are constantly chang

difficult to get glimpse of "uncivil-
lied Hawaii" The Chinese as well
as the Americans are coming in and
promise, or threaten, to transform
the land. Mr.. Gowen was mission
AIRY among the Cinnamon, and speaks
of the yellow race more favorably
than those who knew them less init
mately. He writes also in livelier
strain than is usually found in a
missionary's notebook. The chap
tiers on Hawaiian customs and super
stitions, on Chinese work and Chi
nese ways, and on leprosy, are speci-
ally worth study, and he by no
means neglects the picturesque as
poets of the country, the results of
church work and propaganda among
the natives, and the curious prob
lens presented by the contact of
civilization with the clever and at
tractive Polynesian race.-7he Scots

4 Clever lox's Trick.

Some forty years ago lived near
the Boston and Albany railroad,
where it passes OR the mountain
range in western Massachusetts,. One
warm day late in the fall one of the
Oldest passenger log motive engineers
on the road was climbing the steep
grade in the tow .,ship of Chester,
running his train at about twenty
five miles an hour. While passing
through the thick forest region which
skirted tn road at that point he saw
a large rel fox en- rye from the I'M
derbrush directly abreast the locomo.
tive, and taking the ditch he ran di-
rectly alon yside the locomotive for
more thar one hundred yards. His
tongue protruded, showing great
fatigue.
A moment later the cause of the
singular act appeared in the shape of
a large an fleet foxhound close in
the rear, and he rapidly gained upon
the fox. When the hound had ap-
preached V thin about ten feet of the
fox the lat + sprang across the track,
barely mis- sing the cowcatcher of the
locomotive Tho hound followed and
was killed by the locomotive. The
fox sprang upon the bank just above
the railroad ditch ST opped and looked
back with = grin of satisfaction and
was still Standing t,,ere as the train
passed around BEN, cutting off the
view. Cor Ohio St;te Journal.

New York, Dec. 27.-While Cor.

A French landed proprietor and a
colonel of dragons quarreled, and a
challenge to duel followed. Blood
only could wash out the insult that
one had put upon the other. It was
determined that the duel should be
"a rAmericain," that is, that lots
should be drawn and that the loser
should retire and shoot himself.
The next morning the opponents
and their seconds met at small cafe
outside the town. Lots were duly
drawn; the landed proprietor was
the winner.
The colonel took his bad fortune
calmly; he wrote few lines upon a
piece of paper, which he handed to
his second, took an affectionate fare
well of all, and forgave his more
fortunate adversary, as a Christian
gentleman ought to do.
Then, accepting the loaded pistol,
he retired to an adjoining room and
closed the door The rest of the
party remained breathlessly awaiting
the defamation which was to convey
to them the finale of the tragedy.
AT last 1T came. Eagerly they ran
to the door of the fatal chamber,
which was thrown open and dis
closed the supposed defunct dueIlist
standing on the threshold grasping
the smoking weapon.

One of tn most curious inventions
of this inventive age is what is called
platinized class A piece of glass is
coated with an exceedingly thin
layer of liquid harged with plati-
mum, and is th3l raised to red heat
The platinum becomes united to the
glass in such a T-I2,5r- g. to form very
odd kind of-mirror.
The glass has not really lost it's
transparency, and yet if one places it
against wall and looks at it he sees
his image as in an ordinary looking
glass. But when light is allowed to
come through the glass from the
other side, as when it is placed in
window, it appears perfectly trans
parent like ordinary glass.
By constructing window of plat
inized glass one could stand close be-
hind the panes in an unilluminated
room and behold clearly everything
going on outside, while passers by
looking at the window would behold
only a fine mirror or set of mirrors
in which their own figures would be
reflected while the person inside re-
manned invisible. Youths Compan-

Three American Queens.

Three little dirty, half clad girls made
brief sensation on upper Broadway the
coolest day recently. The eldest was
not more than eight, and her companions
nTii tl4ass have been six and seven respec-
lively. The eight-year-old carried
faded, rib rotten parasol that had once
been pale blue, and her two companions
were trying to squeeze their heads I'M
der it, while they carried the rear of
their short dresses in one hand, as ladies
manipulate their trains at a muddy
crossing.
The eldest divided her attention be-
tween the proper angle for the parasol
and getting her little skirt down low
enough to touch the sidewalk, which
she occasionally accomplished by stoop-
ing. Three pairs of feet were visible
through the dilapidated shoes, and the
shabby old July hats wouldn't have
been picked out of the gutter. And
these three little girls playing lady on
Broadway were evidently delighted at
the good humored attention of stalwart
gentlemen in heavy ulsters, ladies in
costly furs and carriage drivers muff1ed
to the ears in warm livery. New York
