SO deceptive are many of the ordi-

the certainty of this latter
test Is disputed. One of the
most familiar methods of determining
absence of life is that of producing a
blister by heat, as with the flame of a
candle. If the skin beneath and around
the blister becomes red the individual
lives; otherwise he is dead.
One of the most reliable tests is made
by holding the hand of the supposed
cadaver between the eye and the light

A neat little pamphlet, bearing
the title quoted above, has been
issued by request of the woman's
board Of missions. The memorial
was read before that body on the
9Th of last December. It contains
"a pages Of extremely interesting
matter, and will well repay per-

The following quaint paragraphs
are selected from the beginning of
part first:
Kaahumanu, "The Feather Man
tle," was born about the year 1773, at
the foot of the hill Kauiki, Hawai-
papa, Hama, East Maui.
1t is said that she was "born in the
days of her parents adversely" In
infancy she was once laid on the top
of double canoe, wrapped in roll of
white tapa, and, as the party sailed
along, she fell off while asleep, but
was rescued. When few years older,
she had a second narrow escape from
drowning. She was carefully reared
by the high chief Keaumoku. A war
took place when she was years old,
and she was taken to the city of
refuge at Hoonaunau. AS Kaahu-
manu- entered her teens two rival
chiefs were proposed as husbands for
her. Kamehameha "the great"
being the victor, she fell to him.

FOOTBALL AT PUNAHOU.
An Uzlinteresfine Game Between

An Uninteresfine Game Between
the Boston and College Clubs.
A match game of football was
played yesterday afternoon on the
grounds of Punahou college be-
tween an eleven from the Boston
and a team composed of FIVE of the
regular college team and six SUBJ
stitutes. The Boston men had had
but little practice, and were easily
defeated by their more skilful op-
ponents by score of % to O.
The strength of the Boston team
was in their wedge, which the col
lege boys were unable to break.
They worked this to the utmost,
rushing the Punahou center several
times, but were unable 10 get round
the ends.
With one exception, the Puma
hou team secured touchdown
every time they got the ball.
The game was refereed by Mr..
Carney, while James Judd offici-
ated as umpire.
In conversation with an ADvER-
User reporter, Mr.. Woods, captain
of the college team, remarked that
the Boston team was composed of
the most gentlemanly fellows it
had ever been his pleasure to play
with.

There is no doubt that persons
are often moonstruck, particularly
in the tropics. There is in port to-
day the master of a vessel whose
face is horribly distorted by a shock
from the moons rays while he was
crossing the equator. On warships
no one is allowed to sleep on deck,
and the lunar rays, therefore, can
not reach them, but on merchant
vessels, where there is less disci-
pline, especially in hot weather, tars
sleep on deck, and are often picked
up insensible in the morning.
