The Stone Fights of Corea.

The stone fights of Corea are remark
able national sport The kite flying,
which is universal in Corea, stops on the
10Th of their first month, and next day
the stone fights take it's place. The most
serious fights occur on the large open
spaces of the capital. There is sort of
recognized pitting of one section of the
city against another, but there is no Or
ganization and no leaders, though the
fighters generally follow the lead of the
more daring and reckless of their num-
Der.
Stones fly in an incessant shower, and
each man tries to hit as many men as he
can, and specially to avoid being hit by
stones aimed at him. A few men on
each side are armed with strong clubs
and provided with wadded hemlets, and
these come to the closer quarters re-
quired for blows, while the main body
ply the missiles. The excitement is in
tense, and thousands of spectators crowd
the neighboring safe points.
The villages round the capital are in q
constant state of warfare with each 9th
er during the season, and broken heads
are plentiful. In fact, it was reported
that in the first fight of last year six men
were killed-a record which nearly
EQUALS one of our own good football sea-
sons-and a company of soldiers which
was ordered out to stop it could hardly
do so even with fixed bayonets. Lon

Defensive Instinct In Monkeys.

Some forms of the defensive instinct
have become curiously specialized. The
little capuchin monkeys of the Brazilian
forests are so timid that they scamper
away at the mere rustling of a leaf, but
experience has taught them that fight
offers no chance of salvation from the
pursuit of winged enemy, and at the
first glimpse of a harry eagle swarm
of capucinos will huddle together and
shrek out their defiance with an en-
phasis that really makes the lowering
murderer reconsider his project.
IF he does risk swoop, a dozen pair of
hands will grab him at once, and clutch
ing at his throat and his wings soon fill
the air with whirl of flying feathers
not unmixed with fur, while the screams
of the combatants bring up ringtailed
allies from all parts of the woods till the
would be assassin is glad to get away
with the loss of half his plumage

LADIES' COLUMN.
NERVOUS CHILDREN.

l want to say word about nervous
children. Never scold or make fun of
them. They suffer enough without
your threats or sarcasm. Don't let
them know you see their awkward
ness when in company or their grim
aces when alone. A case was rep ort-
ed by the Boston Globe of boy ten
years old, who, on being vexed, and
often without any apparent provoca-
ton, will clench his hands and make
the most frightful contortions of the
muscles of his face and head till his
poor mother fears he is idiOtic. BY
no means. He is the brightest boy in
his class at school, fond OF. reading and
of natural history; but he is of high
ly nervous temperament, and has not
been taught to control the little wires,
so to speak, on which he is strung.
This is no single case. There are
thousands of children who give way
to their nerves in similar fashion.
Never whip them, but talk to them
about these curious little strings that
should be made their servants, not
their masters. A prominent physician
says the man or woman who whips a
nervous child should, for every blow
given, receive five, and is on level
with brutes that have no reason. 1t
is our duty to encourage and help
them. They are the making of our
future successful men and women, for
they will work hard at whatever they
undertake. Brace up your own nerves
first and then be indulgent toward
the capers of your over nervous chill
dren.

The graduating class of the Charles
City, Iowa, high school, received a
good sensible talk recently from the
superintendent of the schools there.
Among other things he said: "Girls.
in presenting you these diplomas, if,
by their significance you are led to al
low mothers to do all the work, bake
all the bread and sweep all the floors
because you can read Latin or demon
strate a theorem in geometry, then
has your school training been most
unfortunate course, and in all teach
ings you have ever received at my
hands I trust that there has been no
lesson that has weaned you from the
dishpan. Boys, if from this gradua-
ton you go out into the world too nice
to carry wood and swill, if need be,
then has our school failed in its pur-
pose and sown wrong seed.

A GOOD DISH FOR SUPPER. one
half cdpful of rice in a quart or more
of sailed water. When done pour in
a strainer SO as to drain thoroughly.
Line a dish with it, then fill the lined
dish with chopped meat which has
been heated through. Beef, left from
soup, or the scraps of a roast or stew,
are as good as anything. They should
be chopped and boiled a minute or
two in very little water. If the meat
is all lean, add bit of butter. When
this is done pour over it the following
described sauce, which should be in
preparation while the rice and meati is
cooking: Stew half can of tomatoes
and a half a small onion until well
done. Rub all the pulp through a
strainer, cook one tablespoonful but
ter and one heaping tablespoonful Of
-four in granite sauce pan. Add the
tomatoes gradually, one saltspoon OF
salt and little pepper. Serve hot.
You can add to the attractiveness of
the dish by covering the meat with a
bit of rice before pouring on the sauce.

ANNEX HAWAII.
II Will Insure Stable Govern
nenf and Prosperity.

II viii Insure Stable Govern
ment and Prosperity.
The following interview with Mr..
Alexander Young is taken from the
S. T. Call of late date:
Mr. Young is a Scotchman by
birth and came to Hawaii some
thirty years ago. He is the chief
owner of the Honolulu Iron Works
Company, and has also been actively
engaged in the sugar industry for
the past fourteen years. He says:
II am in favor of annexation Of
the Hawaiian Islands to the United
States of America.
"First-Because Hawaii has her
almost entire business enterprise
and wealth in the hands Of foreign
ers, of whom Americans and those
heartily in sympathy with that great
republic largely predominant.
"Second-Because the trend of
Hawaii's late sovereigns has been
toward an absolutism or centraliza-
ton of power that IS utterly lncom-
patible with business prosperity at
home or the inspiration of financial
confidence abroad, and this trend
has brought about such a state Of
political unrest and discomfort
among all classes that further self
government IN Hawaii seems to be
impossible. The ballot being largely
in the hands Of unsophisticated
native Hawaiians, who have little or
no financial stake in the country, has
been easily manipulated by that
class OF politicians whose chief aim
is to destroy, not build up, national
prosperity. Such are the parasites
who by bewildering the people with
false hopes of Office and intoxicating
the sovereign with assurances of
unlimited power have sapped the
foundations Of the independence of
Hawaii, and made annexation an
unavoidable necessity.

THE HAWAIIAN WOMEN.
One LOudly Declared That " We
Can Wear the Panfs.o

The second business meeting oil
the Hawaiian Women's Patriotic
League was held at Arion Hall yes
terday afternoon, and lasted from
until 3 o'clock. About four hun
dred ladies were present. None OF
the sterner sex were allowed at the
meeting, not even the Honorary
President of the mems League.
Members of the lady committees
were posted at the various entran-
ces and kept out a number of gen
tlemen who wished to gain admis-
sion.
President Mrs. F. W. Macfarlane
and nearly all the lady officers
were present. The presiding of
ficer made few remarks. Several
of the gentlemen who watched the
proceeding from outside, declare
that the ladies conduct their meet
ings with greater business acumen
than the men do.
The corps of ladies on the finan-
cial and executive committees
have done good work since organ
ization. The committees turned
into the treasury $401.35. The
ladies will present a memorial to
Commissioner Blount during the
week.
Quite a number of those present
were not members of the organiza-
ton. AS soon as a representative
of the fair sex made an appearance
she was hustled inside with great
rapidity by Joseph Nawahi who
was chief runner in"
One partly looking female leag-
uer stood at the gate to stand off
reporters which she did in great
shape. She kept loudly declaring
that I'VE can wear the pants"
which no one doubted after once
hearing her voice.

conduct OF the then sovereign. He
asked If the audience remembered the
day when the Government Building
was hooded with guns, and most of
them said ''yes'-because they stood
outside with their mouths open taking
1t all In. The speaker then attacked
Minister Stevens (the attention of the
Provisional Government is respect
fully called to this incident). He said
that the Minister'S course had been
disapproved by his government, and,
in addition, he declared that President
Cleveland would call him to account.
Bush then switched around and took
up the missionary chestnut. He said
that the missionaries came here to
preach the Gospel and, incidentally
they took riches too. He believed
that his Queen would be placed back
on the throne, as she had done no
wrong. She only obeyed her subjects
when she tried to spring the new con-
stitution on the people. The speaker
kept on in the same strain and finally
read the resolution, of which the fol-
lowing Is copy:
THE RESOLUTION.
Whereas, His Excellency Grover
Cleveland, President of the United
States of America, has hOnored the
Hawaiian nation by sending to us the
Hon. James II. Blount as a Special
Commissioner, to find out the true
wishes of the Hawaiian people as to
the proposed annexation of their
country to their great friend the
United States. Therefore, we the
people of the Hawaiian Islands in
mass meeting assembled, take this
mode of submitting our appeal and
expression of our unanimous wishes
to the people of our great and good
friend the Republic of the United
States of America, with whom we
always entertained the most cordial
relation, whom we have learned to
look upon as our patrons and most
reliable protectors, and in whose
honor, integrity and sense OF justice
and equity we have ever confidently
relied for investigation into the griev-
ious wrongs that have been commit
ted against us as people, against the
person of our sovereign and the indie
pendence of our land.
And while We are anxious to pro-
mote the closest and most intimate
political and commercial relations
with the United States, we do not be.
lieve that the time has yet come for
us to be deprived of our nationality
and of our Sovereign by annexation
to any foreign power.
And therefore we do hereby earnest
ly and sincerely pray that the great
wrong committed against US may be
righted by the restoration of the indie
pendent autonomy and Constitutional
-
our beloved Queen L:liuokalani, in
whom we have the utmost confidence
as conscientious and popular ruler.
The resolution will be handed to
Commissioner Blount this afternoon.
