Blue Monday.

A great many people have what
they call Blue Monday-that is,
they do not feel so we'll then as on
other days of the week. The cause
is found in over eating on Sunday.
A good dinner is provided and
eaten, and then, instead of taking
the customary exercise, the man
sits about the house and reads or
sleeps. Of course he feels badly
the next day. If the same amount
of exercise and kind of diet were
taken on Sunday as all other days
there would be no such thing as a
Blue MondaV.-EX.

In the Matter of Mouths.

There is as much character to
be seen in the mouth as the eye.
Thin lips indicate a bad temper.
Full, thick lips indicate too great
an appreciation of the good things
Of this world. A mouth that turns
up at the corners shows a merry,
good-hearted temperament; cor
ners that turn down show a dismal,
gloomy and often cruel disposition.
A mouth too large is coarse; one
too small betokens lack Of charac-
ter.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

little about the accident. When ask
ed whether there were any steps be-
ing taken for any OF the coasting
steamers to go out to render assist
ance, he replied that he knew of none
at present, as that matter rested en-
tirely with the commander of the
Miowera. 1t was his place to order
assistance from shore if be thought it
necessary.
At high tide small at IL o'clock last
night, the Miowera was as fast as
when she first grounded, with no
signs of coming off. The agents ex-
pect TO float her at o'clock this

HOW To GET HER OFF.

Seeing that the soundings all
around the steamer indicated that
she lay on an almost even keel, only
few feet by the stern, it was decided
to try by the aid of tightening the
vessel of her coal, and the flood tide
to send her ahead, and try to clear the
reef in that way.
That indeed seemed the only prac
teal means of getting her off, as she
was listed away over to windward,
and to force her off in that direction
would be to take long chances of
doing greater damage than had, so
far, been done, while to take her
astern would be to almost certainly
run her propeller against the reef in
that direction.
When the vessel will get away from
here is altogether problematical at
the time of writing, and after
she is off the reef, probably her
departure will be uncertain till sur
vey can he had of her injuries, which
it seems almost certain she must have
T6CtINSu, are anu VIZ AS
pairs needed are made. If the whole
fifteen hundred tons of her coal are
taken out of her, to replace it Will
require time.
There is a large quantity of ban
| anas on the mail dock waiting ship
ment by this vessel, and unless she
sails without great delay these will
suffer and somebody will be out lot
of money.
1t is almost certain that the Milo
vera will not leave here today, even
if no trouble is experienced in float
! ing her from the reef at flood tide this
morning.
The captain of the Aikoku Maru,
with boats crew and two white men,
one of whom was Captain Juen,
| started for the Miowera last night
about 10 O'Clock. Before reaching the
steamer they lost a man overheard,
who was rescued by Captain Juen and
companion, and as the sea was getting
heavier all the way the boat returned
without reaching the scene of the
trouble.

HOW 1T HAPPENED.

The captain, in explaining how his
vessel came to be on the rock, said in
substance that he was closer inshore
than he thought, and was feeling his
way along slowly, while waiting for
the pilot who had not come aboard
vet, when the vessels bow struck the
reef and then the wind and swell car
ried her on broadside, where she lay
as If held in vice, despite the efforts

tirely with the commander of the
Miowera. 1t was his place to order
assistance from shore if be thought it
necessary.
At high tide small at ii o'clock last
night, the Miowera was as fast as
when she first grounded, with no
signs of coming off. The agents ex-
pect 10 float her at O'Clock this
morning.
THE TUG AT WORK.
When the tug reached the scene of
disaster, large sugar boat, manned
by some half dozen natives, was sent
to the steamer with the tugs new
eight-inch hawser, and Capt. Fuller
went ahead in his shore boat to direct
the handling of the line.
A somewhat heavy swell was rum
ming at the time, which was aug
mented by the tugs propeller, making
it rather nasty work for the men In
the boats. After a trial or two line
was thrown from the steamer to the
from the sugar boat and made fast.
This was safely hauled aboard the
steamers starboard quarter, and then
the word was passed from Captain
Rice TO the tugs engine room to go
ahead.
Ninety pounds of steam was what
the gauge indicated, and that pressure
was maintained from the start to mid
night, when the press representative
left.
The hawser was new one, and
from time to time slipped around the
bits, shaking the little vessel from
stem to stern, the shocks at such times
causing many of those aboard to
think the tug had struck rock.
The Miowera's propeller revolved
savagely, at times churning the water
into white froth, and nearly swamp
ing several small boats venturing too
near her stern. The tug did good
work, as the strain on the new hawser
testified. Twice the rope was stranded
and twice the tug was backed in order
to let the steamers crew take in the
slack.
ON BOARD THE STEAMER.
Shortly after II o'clock Minister j..
A. King, Attorney General w. o.
Smith and the press representatives
left the tug in a shore boat, and rowed
| to leeward of the steamer where the
gangway was found lowered, and the
| party went aboard.
Perhaps the most striking feature
| of the affair as seen on fine steamers
| deck was the perfect order and entire
absence of all excitement. All the
passengers with the exception of two
or three gentlemen were in their
state rooms and apparently sleeping
as quietly as if the vessel was along
| side the dock.
The crew were busy working around
various parts of the vessel, and most
of the officers not on watch were in
their rooms.
Within a few minutes after the
visitors reached the vessels deck the
| hawser stranded again, and then II
was deemed necessary to run out g
wire cable. This was accomplished
by making the cables end fast to the
hawser, and calling out to Captain
Rice to stand by to haul his line in.
A strong off-shore breeze was blow
ing throughout the night, and as the
tug was obliged to work to windward
across the channel from the steamer
it was extremely difficult to make
those aboard of her hear anything
and this caused considerable i'm
patience among the steamers officer:
and men. Finally, however, the tue
people understood the order, and soor
the wire had taken the place of the
cable and the tug was once more sen
ahead at full speed.
