WATERMELON PARTIES.

row q watermelon should be served at
watermelon party i a knotty question
sud il has caused considerable debate
and some little uufriendly controversy
among the -Four Hundred Of the melon
growing counties.
Some contend that it should be cut
crosswise. Others say IL should be split
iongitudinally and eaten without fork or
knife. This diversity Of opinion may
relegate the melon party 10 the rear OF
the picnic for the present season, as the
time OF the fruit Is limited now 10 few
weeks, but the latent element in favor Of
the pastime may break out again next
season. just as the ague does every year
down in Piney woods.
Another difficulty in the way of eat
ing a watermelon artistically Is TO get
clear of the seeds. II is said that on one
occasion a guest at one of the parties in
sisted that it was proper to pick the
seeds out with the right index finger,
and if by accident one should get into a
guests mouth il should be swallowed.
y debate followed the proposition, IN
which one man said he did not propose
to make a watermelon patch of his in
ternal makeup by planting seeds i'll 1t.
The party broke up, and the hostess had
lot of melons and an antipathy TO such
parties left on her hands.
The outcome of the new fad is puZzhng
the people in uppertendom III the cities
and villages and rural districts. From
what could be gathered in the last few
days on the subject, the watermelon
party does not promise to be pro-
nounced success. One of the great OBJ
iections is the uncertainty to what they
NAV lead, for if the watermelon party
takes with society it may IN time be fol-
lowed by a squash party, or yellow
pumpkin party, or a green tomato party,
or sassafras root or tea party, or some
other thing just as erratic, and the Four
Hundred it seems, would rather content
themselves with the pink tea and other
diversions whereof they are familiar
than rush into new ones that might lead
to an endless amount of unrest. -Balti-

4 Bear, a Cab and "A ''Sergot."

On Sunday evening an amusing incl
dent occurred III the Champs Elysees
quarter. A man named Haja, employed
by NJ. Marseille, a wild beast tanner,
thought he had right to add to his
wages by exhibiting his masters bear in
the streets. With this object in view
lac installed the bear in an open cab, and
taking his seat beside the animal told
the cOachman to drive to the Champs
Elysees. The vehicle reached the Avenue
Victor Hugo, followed by a crowd of
boys and young men, who by their de-
risive shouts attracted the attention of
two sergents de vile. They stopped the
cab, and after ascertaining the truth
one of them got into the vehicle and or
dered the cabman to drive to the nearest
police station. The presence of a stranger
beside it so excited the bear that Ivy its
swaying backward and forward it very
soon upset the vehicle. The merriment
caused by the sight of the cabman, the
sergents de Vile and the tanner sprawling
on the ground, with the bear almost
under the upset cab, can easily be inn
agined. Cor. London Standard.

Old Songs Before the Queen.

y very pleasing innovation was intro
duced in a musical programme rendered
before the queen at Osborne house a
night or two since which deserves note.
Mime. Nortlica Sld Mr.. Plunket Greene
were the vocalists, with Sig. Tosti as ac-
cOmpanist on the piano, and in addition
to the accustomed repertory there were
given two old Irish songs arranged by
DR.. Villiers Stanford, an old Scotch
song arranged by Miss Lucy Broad
wood and an old Cornish song. Where
Be Going?' arranged by Mr.. Arthur
Somervell all being sung by Mr.. Greene.
The introduction of this last into royal
programme may be considered due to
the labors of the Rev. Sabine Barring
Gould, the well known novelist. whose
collection of the words and tunes of the
half forgotten songs of the west country
deserves all praise Birmingham Post.

the Halifax Chronicle. One of
them at Montreal says that the
Wandrahm, which went ashore,
cost the Insurance companies $780,

damage to her cargo, which was
valued at about $33O,000. The
Lake Nepigon's cargo was valued
at about 100000, and the
damage to it was about $780,

The Straits of Gribraltar's cargo,
valued at $4,000, was a total loss.
The Alcides' cargo, valued at about
100000, cost the insurance COM

liza Leave on Saturday.
An immense crowd gathered on
the Oceanic wharf Saturday to bid
"bon voyage to the departing pas

passenger list was very small, but
the number Of friends possessed by
each must have been correspond

gathered to give them aloha nui
and wish a speedy return. The
Skerretts made many warm friends
while here, and Were laden down
with leis and punches of flowers.
The loadstone that attracted all
the attention of that portion of the
deck reserved for the steerage pas
sengers was the departing evange-

H. F. Rowland, who has attracted
so much attention in Honolulu
since his arrival here. He and

STORY OF THE WRECK.
The way the Miowera was wrecked
Il, OF course well remembered. On
the night of October % she was tele-
phoned as fifteen miles off port at
about sunset At $40 she struck on

Eleu Immediately went 10 the rescue,
and tried TO pull the stranded steamer
from her perilous position, but was
unsuccessful in the attempt.
Most of her coal was thrown over
board the day after her disaster, 80 a.
to render the ship as light as possible,
and several of the inter-island steam
ers attempted to pull her into deep
water. But she was hard and fast,
and it seemed impossible to move her
an inch. The agents advertised for
bids for floating her. and the contract
went to Arthur Nc Dowell for SO, 800.
He also failed. While he was making
his preparations to float the wreck,
Captain Metcalfe arrived, accom-
panied by the Lougce brothers, the
divers, and as soon as McDowelPs con-
tract time was ended, he took. hold,
with the above result.
Captain Stott, master of the Milo
vera, was exonerated from all blame
by court of naval inquiry that had
been convened to investigate the case,
composed of Captains Freeth, Barry
and Mist. Nevertheless, in spite Of
such exoneration, the disaster was
generally thought a piece of gross
carelessness, and it is even believed
that Stott will lose the command Of
his ship.
