She drove up to the depot in an OLD

10 his horns, and she repeated her in
quiries about the train from the east SO
often that the depot agent finally asked:
Are you expecting friends on that
train:''

wife" she replied.
Coming On a visit?"
NO, sah They dun moved over to
Georgy six months ago, but they doan
like it and are comm back"

ri.hermen.s su,er,tition..

at the beginning Of the herring season
the crew all Try to seize the herring first
on board, to see if it be male or female.
If it IS q male, their fishing may be ex-
pccted to be poor one; if female, a
good one. Sometimes. however, the
skipper secures it and hides it away, salt
ing it and laying it past for the season.
The boat must not be turned against the
sun. Certain animals considered of Ill
omen must not be spoken of in the boat.
and ministers in this respect occupy the
same place as rabbits, hares and pigs.
Fishermen do not like to lend anything
TO a neighboring boat, lest their luck
should go with it. If they lend a match.
they Will contrive-secretly if possible
to break it and keep part, hoping thereby
to retain their luck. Their dislike 10
have anything stolen is increased by the
fear that the thief may have stolen their
luck with it. To ask the question,
Where are you going?" of any one who
is going on board is equivalent to de-
stroying all his chances for that time.
Persons with certain names are held to
be of bad omen, the dreaded names be-
ing different in different villages. -Notes

will be able to furnish all the

Honolulu will require, and, as
we now have some six large
wiring contracts to begin on,
as soon as the Australia gets
in with a big lot Of assorted
wire, we would call the atten-
ton Of those wanting ELECTRIC
LIGHTS in their Houses at an
early date to the advisabilty of
having the wiring done soon.
AS only a limited number Of
good house wire men are to
be had, contracts for wiring
will have to be taken up in
turn in the order received.
After the Australia gets in
we will have a complete line
of everything needed to wire
any building, including Elec-
troliers, Brackets, ETC., and a
large assortment of plain and
fancy Shades.

having your House ready for
the lights when the current is
turned on from the New Sta

One morning one of the two pet pi-
geons belonging to my father was found
upon the highroad dead, its body bearing
marks of injury, but from what cause We
never knew We carried the dead body
home and buried it in sunny and quiet
spot in the garden. For three days the
surviving pigeon with untiring energy
searched the country far and near for IFS
mate. but in vain. 1t refused to touch
food. and even the influence which my
father usually exercised over it was gone.
On the third day we found it dead in the
dovecot, its little heart broken with grief
by the loss of its lifelong companion
We buried it beside its mate.-Cor. Lon

CalifOruia'S Production.

The San Barnardino Courier es-
Inmates the value of the wheat
crop of California this year at 49,
100000. The mines will produce
not far from $12,000,O0O. The fruit
crop is the largest ever known. and
though prices are low nearly all
will be disposed of at paying prices.
Barley and the minor grain crops,
hay, nuts and wine will bring large
sums into the state. The Courier
says: The crops are now being con-
verted into coin in a fairly active
manner" The sea exports from
San Bernardino alone for July
were valued at s., 100000. There
does not seem any cause in these
statements for hard times. In fact,
since it became apparent that
money would be supplied to move
the crops the shadow Of hard times
has pretty much disappeared.

Inquiry last night from members
Of the finance committee disclosed
the following facts. Owing to the
deck of the Boston being in a dirty
condition from the coaling of the
vessel, the feast intended for the
men of the vessel would be placed
on board packed in ice, so that it
could be spread at sea the second
or third day out.
Yesterday the finance committee,
consisting of Messrs. J. w. Jones,
G. K. Wilder, A. w. Keech and
Andrew Brown, waited upon the
executive officer of the Boston, who
very kindly consented to make
room on the after deck for the feast
provided by the citizens of Homo
lulu.
The committee then waited upon
Admiral Skerrett, who kindly con-
sented to allow the band of the
flagship Philadelphia to play at the
executive building during inter-
missions in the dancing on Monday
night.

burglar Proof Safe ouiohIy s,eI:ed.

Mr. Swan, the English electrician, de-
clared recently that he had seen electric
al blowpipes capable of melting the
stoutest iron SO rapidly that to melt into
fire and burglar proof safe with this
instrument would be the work of only a
few minutes and would be both an easy
and noiseless operation. AS, however, it
would require a 40-horsepower engine
to operate such scientific tool. banks

mode OF attack on their vaults.-New
