A Common Word gus. Vow.

"How do you pronounce the name OF
the island kingdom which wants to be
annexed TO the United States:" is 4 cues
tion frequently propounded and various
ly answered nowadays. The most CON-
monty accepted pronunciation, and the
one authorized by Lippincott's, Worces-
ter's, Webster's and the Century die
tionaries, is, for the nzlae Of the princi-
pal island Of the group. "Hah-wi-e." the
second syllable accented. and the ~
pronounced as in ''pinc." The same ques-
ton was once asked Of a high caste Ha-
waiian lady, well educated in her own
and the English language. She answered:
The proper pronunciation is Hah-
Tah-e-e. There Is no w in our alpha
bet, and no letter nor combination of
letters which take the sound of w as
IN English. The missionaries who first
translated our language found it diff
cult 10 pronounce OF express the sound
which is. TO my ear. correctly conveyed
by the letter " softened and made full.
Our "a is pronounced broad, as you pro-
nounce it in fall and cur 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 i in Ha-
waii, You viii see that the word is .Hah-
vah-e-e.'"
The insistence upon the ''v" instead Of
the wv sound is considered, even by some
of the well educated and all Of the uned-
ucated. as something Of an affectation,
and one hears '-Hah-vah-e-e" on the
islands, instead of "Hah-wah-e," about
rs often as ''vahse" instead of vase" in

stamp the square to the left of each per.

ItWas FearfnIiy Real TO tho Man Who saw
the Severed lead Rolling In.
The late Sir Richard Owen used 10 re-
late a remarkable ghost story. In his
early davs. when lie held the post Of sur
geon 20 tie prison at Lancaster, q negro
died IN jail, and a T1stmorteIn IS well as
an inquest was necessary. After the III
ruest the young surgeon saw the body

day. Owen lad AZ the time been already
attracted 10 the study Of comparative
anatomy. and negroes heads were not
plentiful. 50 he made up his mind thai
tins one should not lie lost 10 tae cause
Of science. II the evening he returned
10 the prison with = black bag contain

had no difficulty in getting admittance

During this process tie brick and the

snow and frost, Owe; had scarcely passed
ont when he slipped and fell ali his length
the bag went from his hand, and the
head tumbled cut AMI rolled down the
paved way. He got up, caught the bag,
and following the head clutched 1t just
as It finished IFS career IN a small shop
where tobacco was sold. Pushing It into
the bag again. he vanished out Of the
shop with all the speed he was capable Of.
Next morning. when Owen was going
10 his usual duties at the prison, he was
called IN by the woman at the shop where
line accident had occurred on the previous
evening. She wished him 10 see her hus-
band, who was very ii. He had had, she
said, fright the night before that caused
him to LOOK Wild and dazedlike. Theman,

the West India islands when many deeds
were de- that did not at that time re-
quire to be accounted for. Among theso
had been the killing Of negro II which
he had hand, and the transaction had
left a touch Of trouble on his conscience.
After giving these details the old captain
told Of tie horrible event that took place
the night before.
He was sitting in his shop. All was
quiet, and It SO CHANGED that he had been
thinking Of the negro. when suddenly he
saw his very head roll into the shop N
front Of the counter, and it was followed
by the devil al in black, with black bag
IN his hand. The devil snatched up the
head, and both disappeared through the
earth like fash OF lightning. The de-
scription was perhaps not quite compli-

was satisfactory so far that it showed that
