HOW TO SAY HAWAII.

''How do you pronounce the name Of
the island kingdom which wants 10 be
annexed 10 the United Statss!' was a
frequent question recently. The most
commonly accepted orthoepy is "Iiah-
the al" long, as in pine" The ques-
ton was once asked OF a high-Caste
Hawaiian lady, we'll educated in her
own and the English language. She an
swered:
THE proper pronunciation is Hah-
vah-e-e. There is no "wn in our alpha
bet, and no letter or combination of let
tiers which takes the sound of W., as in
English. The missionaries who first
translated our language found it diff
cult TO pronounce or express the sound
which is, to my ear, correctly conveyed
by the letter " softened and made full.
Our a is pronounced broad, as you
pronounce il in fall, and our i is like
the English 'e.' The rule is TO pronounce
every vowel, and as the exception to the
rule does not affect the double Il in
Hawaii you will see that the word is
'Hah-vah-e-e.'"
These are the twelve letters of the
Hawaiian language, with their %pronunci-
alton: \ (ah), c a., i (e), o (ohJ, o (co), h
(hay), k kay, ! Qah), m mooj, n (noo), p
pay, v way. There is no sound of -"
as in the English language, except where
'ai" follows "w," or as the Hawaiian
lady would insist, ''v." There is a great
difference in the language as spoken by
the high and low caste HIawaiians. The
low caste speak with a succession of Y
plosive, staccato gutturals; the high
caste with a liquid flow that makes it a
beautiful language. The insistence upon
the ''v" instead of the wv" sound is
considered, even by some of the edu-
Gated, and all of the uneducated, as
something of an affectation.

Bicycle with a Sail.

A solitary bicycIist who passed through
the city yesterday attracted some atten-
ton, says the Sioux City Journal. II
was T. j. Berri, OF Bamboo, Wis.
Beui has made the trip from that town
g. Sioux City since the first Of the month.
lie is on the way TO Silver City, Idaho,
making the tour for his health. From
Sioux City he will follow the line Of the
Union Pacific 10 Cheyenne.
He carries with him a contriyancc OF
his own invention which eguips his wheel
with a sail when the wind Is favorable
and under the pressure Of which he
travels with great speed. In talking Of
his trip he stated that there was one in
cident worthy Of remembrance TO him
az least.
1t was near Spirit Lake, when he had
his sail spread. lie was making at least
ten miles an hour on a smooth road, when
he was compelled TO cross a bridge over
a gulch. Just ne he reached the bridge,
one rail Of which was gone, bis sail was
twisted by a wbirl Of the wind, and be
narrowly escaped being dashed TO pieces

A Motherhood Whitewash.

The whitewash used by the United
States Government for the lighthouses
and beacons, chosen for its permanence
under the most extreme exposure to the
weather, is made as follows: Fresh by
draulic cement Of any COED standard
kind, not of the more costly imported
kinds, three parts, and clean fine sand.
one part, are mixed well with cold water
and Immediately applied. This gives a
light brownish white that is not so glar-
ing as the common lime, and has been
found 10 resist moisture better than any
other wash. Ii adheres 10 brick or stone
or wooden walls or fences very firmly.
In its application the walls are first wet
ted with water, by which the adhesion
of the wash is made stronger than If ap-
piled To "A dry surface.
Another good wash is made in this
way: Half a bushel Of good fresh lime
is Stacked with boiling water and kept
covered from the air during the Stacking
To prevent weakening Of the lime by the
carbonic acid Of the air. 1t is strained
through a fine sieve or cloth and sever
pounds Of salt are added three pounds Of
rice flour boiled to a thin paste, half a
pound of Spanish white. and one pound
of broken glue stepped in cold water
and then dissolved in hot water are
then added, and when well mixed Ivy
stirring, FIVE gallons Of hot water are
mixed in and the whole again stirred.
This is kept a few days closely covered,
when it is ready for use. 1t is applied
hot, being kept in a kettle over u fire.
This may be colored q light brown by
burnt lumber, or a cream yellow by yell
low ochre. A light gray is made by
adding a small quantity of lampblack
| previously mixed with water and thor
oughly stirred. One pint of this wash
covers a square yard.
A wash for fences or barns is thus
made and will last for five years; Half a
bushel Of fresh lime is Stacked and
strained and three pecks of hydraulic
cement are added, with water sufficient to
reduce il to II proper liquid condition.
Ten pounds of burnt lumber and one
| pound of Venetian red are well mixed
dry; four ounces of lampblack killed
with sufficient vinegar are then mixed
with water and added TO the other ma
t%erials. The whole is diluted TO make a
barrel of thirty gallons. II must stand
a few days and be frequently stirred be-
fore being used. A wash for inside work

They are samples OF what can be
grown in the soil Of Colorado since the
irrigation preached BY Mr.. Greeley has
changed that part Of the country from
a barren waste 10 a bountiful garden"
Mr.. Gale said. Il don't mean that all
of the potatoes grown out there are Of
the size of these, but some of them are
much larger. AS ! left home in a hurry,
these were the biggest l could find.
They are of the Rural New Yorker va
rieiy. but the Early Rose aud other va
~rieties grow 10 the same size. One acre
Of ground will produce $50 bushels of
potatoes or Of wheat in one season. A
farmer who has a farm of LOG acres sold
his crop for $ll, 600 last year. Greeley
now is a city Of 5000 inhabitants, and
contains large s~torehouses and elevators
for farm produce, IL is a sight worth
seeing when the farmers come into the
city with their six-horse teams and wag-
ons loaded with produce. There seems
10 be thousands Of them in the streets,
and the load on each wagon is enormous.
"Do all vegetables grow large in that
part of the country inquired a report
or.
Not all of them. Pumpkins, for in
stance, grow 10 larger than in the East.
We can beat the world in growing cab
bages, however. l saw one head of cab
bage that weighed Ga pounds. 1t was
so big that it filled a cart, and the leaves
hung down over the wheels. Pie-plant
stalks are longer than.I am"
Mr.. Gale is over six feet in height.
The memory of Mr.. Greeley was held in
reverence in the city named after him,
Mr.. Gale said, and a large square in the
city had been set apart as a site for a
monument on which statue of the great
editor will be erected. The city is near
the Ca~chelepoudre River, from which
water is drawn to irrigate the farms.
Wells are used also for irrigation.
when Mr.. Greeley first saw the site
of our city," said Mr.. Gale, lit was a
sandy waste, with here and there a cac-
tus. That was twenty-three years ago.
He went with the first colony, and they
were obliged TO ride in stages three
miles from the nearest railway station.
When some of the men saw what a desc
late looking spot they had been taken 10
they turned back al once, and left the
place for good and all. Mr.. Greeley
mounted a box on the sand and made a
speech 10 those who remained, telling
them what might he accomplished by
irrigation. Those who listened to his
advice and stayed in Greeley have be-
come rich men. Ii isn't at all surpris-
ing that the people out there believe that
Mr.. Greeley was one of the best and
wisest men that ever drew BREATH

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
THE HAY-Now.

Whene'er | rise az morning-song,
And see great cloud-bsnks black and
long,
And hear the drum.sticks of the rain
Beat softly on the window pane,
know al ball i may not play,
Nor wander down the meadow-way
Where vines with juicy rubies grow,
And like white wheels the daisies blow,
But when my study task is done,
Out to the hay-mow l may run,
And climb upon the rafters high
Where round the nesting swallows fly,
And twitter in their silly fear
Because they think a robber near;
To be a robbers not my plan.
But play that I'm a diver-man.
The hills of hay, these are my sea,
And seem like waves far under me;
Down, down | plunge with merry vim,
Then swiftly 10 the shore | swim,
And climb once more, and leap again
Into the middle OF the main;
It's so much fun that If ] can
Some day I'll be a diver man!

An Inference.

The following rather good story 10 60
ing the rounds. told at the expense of
the legal fraternity. In a certain COM
munity a lawyer died who was a most
worthy and popular man, and, among
other virtues, inscribed upon his tomb
stone, was this; "a lawyer and an honest
man" Some years later a convention
was held in the town, and one of the dele
gates. being Of a sentimental turn,
visited the silent city, and. in ram
bling among the tombs, wa struck with
the inscription, "A lawyer and an honest
man" He was lost in thought when a
fellow delegate came up, who. noticing
his abstraction, asked If he had found
the grave o! u dear friend or a relative,
and he said No, but | am wondering
how they come to bury these two fellows
in the same grave, ~ Mason City Globe.

Two Ways of Looking at Sheep.

whenever a farmer comes TO look at
my Cotswold sheep" said a flockmuster
the other day, IL can always tell
whether he is an American or an English
man." GLOW sol" was asked. BE
cause an Englishman will pick out the
best formed sheep, one that is deep,
broad, with well developed thigh and
shoulder, fine ears and small short legs
in short, he selects the sheep that will
fatten easily, mature early and give a
large carcass of good mutton. The
American farmer, on the other hand,
when he has caught a sheep, opens the
fleece on the side and examines the wool
carefully TO see if it is long, fine, lus-
trous, dense and Of uniform strength
and quality. The English farmer asks
How much do they weight The
American farmer asks; How much do
they shear These traits are the re-
suits OF accustomed methods. In this
country the chief aim Of the flockmaster
is to produce heavy fleece; in England,
heavy carcasses. Both have succeeded
in a remarkable degree. We have
American Merinos that in proportion TO
their live weight will shear far heavier
fecces than any other sheep in the world,
and which stand unrivaled for early ma
turIty, but what We want more than all
this is a sheep that is good for wool and
good for mutton Farm. Stock and
