A Christmas Killing.

A young married man living on a
fashionable street who wanted to make
himself of some use in domestic affairs
bought live turkey for the family
Christmas dinner and undertook to chop
off its head. As the weather was cold,
instead of killing the turkey out of doors
he took it into the kitchen and with
block and hatchet heroically decapitated
it. The whole household had been sum-
moned to witness his skill as an execu-
toner. No sooner was its head off than
the decapitated turkey gave chase to
members of the family.
Out of the kitchen into the dining
room, and up on the table, and into the
sitting room, and into the parlor, and
onto the furniture and against the cur
tains, and out into the hall, where, in an
exhausting effort to climb the front
stairs, it yielded to the inevitable, turned
over on its back, gave few last protest
ing kicks, and died But there wasn't a
drop of blood left in that birds body
It had bled copiously, and had literally
painted the lower part of the house and
good portion Of the furniture and the
carpets and the curtains and the wall
paper genuine turkey red. That young
married man has long life before him
and a lovable wife to share it with him,
but she has now this terror hanging over
him:
John she said, IF ever you again
do such a thing as to cut off the head Of
live turkey in the house I'll-pll look
for more sensible man when I marry
again. Saratoga Cor. New York Sun.

A fine Collection of BUTTERFLIES.

The California Academy of Sciences
contains one of the finest collections Of
butterflies and moths in the world-cer-
tainly the finest on the Pacific coast.
This collection was made by DR.. FL. II.
Behr, who began the work in 1914 and
who has been steadily adding to it ever
since. Quite recently DR.. Behr presented
to the academy, which means the people
of California, the accumulated riches re-
sulting from his labors of nearly half a
century.
Previous to 1874, Dr. Behr made an
other collection which he presented to
the Duke of Saxony-Anhalt. 1t is now
in the museum at Kothen, Sakony. The
oldest butterfly in Dr.. Behr's later col
lection was caught in Batavia in 1874
Since this date the enthusiastic scientist
has pursued his researches in Europe,
the East Indian archipelago, Manila,
the Sunda islands, the Cape Of Good
Hope, the Isthmus Of Panama, Brazil,
Mexico, Australia and the United States.
By exchanging with other collectors he
has obtained specimens from all parts of
the known world. Some of the finest
and rarest are from the Amoor river.
| The collection includes nearly 10000
specimens, of which about 5000 are still
unclassifed. The number of determined
species is 1901. Of these 1900 are Cali

resentatative men in every sense
men of honor and integrity, and
shrewd, practical business men, who
have been administering affairs wisely
and well, and have strengthened their
position in great many directions.
AS for Kaiulani, poor child, she does
not know what she wants, and is only
the mouthpiece of few schemers.'
Mr.. Hatch referred to the alleged
statement from the Queen, published
in a San Francisco paper. 1t was ev
erywhere greeted with derision in
Honolulu. He said: ait might have
been written without ever going to
Honolulu. 1t is evident on the face of
it that Liliuokalani never wrote it.
Had she done so, or even subjected it
to revision, it would at least have been
Ineligible. AS 1t is, it is pure rot,
and has the characteristic style of the
man, who wrote it-F. M. English.
She would never have written such
senseless twaddle as God gave the
Hawaiians these islands for home
and no other Any one in Honolulu
who read it knew that the ex-Queen
| never wrote it. They were all amused
at it."

The Worlds Fair in England.

A foretaste of the Chicago exhibition
was given this week by Mr.. Dredge, at
the Society OF Arts, when this gentleman
gave IL lecture, to the accompaniment of
the magic lantern, on the exhibition asst
is and will be. So many romancing tales
Of the greatness of the show have been
exported from America that IA feeling of
doubt as TO where fact left off and fancy
began has been in many minds. Mr..
Dredge's lecture and Mr.. Dredge's magic
lantern slides, however, put it beyond a
doubt that the show will be almost as
big as it is painted. The buildings them
selves appear to be even more substan-
tiai than all accounts have made them,
and there is no doubt that the exhibi-
ton will really be 1.-The greatest show on
earth. London Court Journal.

A New Postosace Experiment

Let no man say that st. Martins le
Grand has not taken enterprise to its
bosom. That much criticised depart
ment has just begun to experiment with
a sort of automatic postofice, and the
front of the Royal exchange has been Sc
lected as likely place for it. 1t is a
further extension Of the great principle
of the penny in the slot. You drop in
your penny, and in return you get an en-
velope and correspondence card. At
the same time a bell is automatically
rung in the nearest postof6ce.
You write your urgent message on the
card, put it into the envelope with the
fee, at the rate of threepence a mile, and
drop the communication into the letter
box. A messenger arrives in few min
utes and takes the letter to its destina-
tion by omnibus, railway or cab. This
is a capital idea, likely to be especially
useful in so busy locality as the Royal
exchange But If it succeeds there, it
ought to be, and no doubt will be, ex-
tended to other places in London.-St.
James Gazette.

PRESIDENT PRATT.
The Hawaiian Consul i'm a New
Role.

81 have received no order of re-
call from the Provisional Govern
ment of Hawaii" said Consul-Gen-
eral F. S. Pratt in answer to the
report that such a letter had been
sent from Honolulu by the Austria
liza, says the S. F. Examiner. "Such
a letter would not have surprised
me, however, as | have been ex-
pecting it for some time.
My present intention is to leave
for Honolulu by the Australia next
week, turning over my Office to
Vice. e-Consul Malone or to some one
else [ may designate, until some
body is selected for the post. This
is not because Of any letters or in
structions that have been sent me
by the Provisional Government, G but
for the reason that | believe | can
be of more service to the country
by being in Honolulu. The present
form of government cannot last,
and I want to be on the ground
when a change is made.
"Turn me out? will be more
likely to go down to Honolulu
and turn them out. [ may go down
there and become President of the
Hawaiian republic /"
''Do you anticipate a change in
government to republic or the re-
turn of the monarchy to powerW
cit seems to me that one of three
things must come to pass. Either
the monarchy must be restored as
it was, the restoration of the mon
archy with a protectorate, or a re-
public. What | want is a stable
government, one under which the
rights of all the people will be as
sured. These rights are not assured
to us under the Provisional Gov.
eminent.
"The present Government is
doing many things that seem
strange to me. Orders have been
given me to register no more yes.
sells under the Hawaiian flag, and
through the enforcement of that
order the revenues of the islands
have been materially lessened.
"When annexation was first pro.
posed vessel owners showed dis.
! position to register under Hawaiian
laws, and thus be admitted te
American register if the islands
became a part of the United States
[ have had more than a dozen ap
plications for register from vessel
owners flying the Mexican. th'
Guatemalan and the British flags
all of which I have had to refuse
Under the laws of Hawaii, 1 pc,
cent. of the appraised valuation of {
vessel is charged for registering
and afterwards taxes are assessed
and collected on the vessels. On'
OF the ships which would have beer
registered was the steamship Chin'
of the Pacific Mail Steamship line
valued at 100000. The fee fo
registering this ship alone woule
have been $4,000, and she woult
have paid taxes to our Government
afterwards"

has been sent orders of recall p

however, if such course had beer

Mr.. HATCH TALKS.
Says That Annexation is an
Absolute Necessity.

Says That Annexation is an
Absolute Necessity.
+. M. Hatch, of Honolulu, ar
rived by the Australia, says the
San Francisco Call. Mr.. Hatch
has the proud distinction of being
about the only lawyer of any note
on the Island of Oahu who has not
at some time held the office of
Attorney-General. Although he
had been repeatedly solicited, he
has always declined Office under
the Kalakauas, retaining his Amer
lean associations and affiliations
during a residence of sixteen years
in the islands. He is now Presi-
dent of the Annexation Club, a
political body recently formed in
Honolulu, which now numbers
over 1900 members, all pledged to
work for annexation. To a Call
reporter Mr.. Hatch said:
''This movement represents the very
| best element in the population of the
islands. 1t is not a missionaries
| movement or planters movement,
nor one headed by malcontents. It is
a movement of the conservative, prac-
tical, commercial element of the en-
tire country. Annexation is an abso-
| lutte necessity to the further advance
| ment of the country, and the Provi-
sional Government will never recede
from its present position unless COM
| PEELED to do so by force of arms
| something which we do not antici-
pate.
NATURALLY the people are somewhat
surprised at this unexpected delay in
| the proceedings. We do not under
stand it and are a little at loss what
| to look for, but we are not discouraged
OF course business has received a
| great setback by this delay, but we
| are in hope that it will not be fol-
| long.
Undoubtedly England is laughing
| in her sleeve to-day to see the Ameri.
can Government hesitating under
such circumstances. She would have
had the islands long ago, and NAV
have them yet, if the United State:
! delays much longer.
''Of course, no one could blame hel
for stepping in if she has the chance
and if the United States Government
should attempt to interfere, then She
! can ask with good reason, what have
you got to say about it?'
"No, L cannot conceive of such 6
thing as Liliuokalani's coming bacI
to the throne. The Provisional Gov
ernment is much stronger than is gen
