the value to health of the pure liquid

HAWAIIAN NAMES.
An Ex-Resident of the Islands Gives
Hints on Pronunciation.

An Ex-Resident of the Islands Gives
Hints on Pronunciation.
w. C. Merritt in Seattle Post Intelligencer.
Apropos of the question of the pronun-
citation of Hawaiian names, brief state
ment of the principles of the languarge
governing this matter may be of interest
to many. In 1880, when the American
missionaries landed at Kailua, Hawaii,
there was no written language, and their
first literary work after learning the
spoken language was to reduce it to
writing.
They adopted the following Roman let
ters as representative of the simple sounds
they found The five vowels, a, Q, i, o, u,
having the following sounds, a, as in
father; e, as in fate; i, as long when
spoken quickly, as in mete, or passing in
usage into the sound of short i, as in pin !;
o, as in old; u, as 90 in food, or as in
rude. The five consonants, k, l, m, n, p,
the aspiraLe h, and a vocalic w.
Pure Hawaiian knows no diphthongs,
though to our clumsier Anglo-Saxon ears
and tongues it seems to. There are,
therefore. as many syllables in Hawaiian
word as there arc novels, and no syllable
ends in a consonant. Where two or more
vowels follow each other, with no inter
vening consonants, there is a crasis, or
cOmmingling of the sounds that produce
what seems TO stranger foreign ele-
ment in the pronunciation. For example,
the name of the island upon which Homo
lulu is situated, Oahu, O-a-hoo, producing
a sound not unlike O-wa-hoo, which was
indeed one way of spelling it in olden
times.
There is, to foreign ears at least, one
notable exception to the law of no diph-
thong, namely, in the combination of al,
as in Hawaii, Ha-wi-i, which, though
structurally incorrect, is the common
pronunciation. Hence we have Ho-no-lu-
lu, Li-li-u-o-ka-la-ni, with the accent on
the penult in each case. What the law
of accumulation may be, if there is any, l
cannot say.

Bishop Lawrence Favors Cremation.
From the Boston Herald.

1t was bold and wise act on the part
of Bishop Lawrence to advocate crema-
tion before Boston audience, but he took
no stronger ground than Bishop Brooks
was prepared to take had he lived. as a
member of the New England Cremation
Society. The opposition to the new
method Of disposing of the bodies of the
dead has chiefly in this country come
from those who believe in the literal bod
lily resurrection of the departed, and who
have held that this was part of the
Christian belief. Bishop Lawrence boldly
assailed this opinion, and affirmed that
cremation is not out of harmony with
Christian principles, and that it should
be regarded as reverent and Christian
method OF disposing of the remains of the
departed The existence of churchman's
for the burial Of the dead within the
large cities is now considered as hostile
to the living on sanitary grounds, and
Bishop Lawrence has taken a forward
step in this matter, in which he viii have
large numb6r of supporters.

A BOLD ROBBERY.


An Express Messenger Relieved Of a
Large Sum Before Fifty People.
Marshall, Tex, Dec 25.-At s o'clock
this morning, a Pacific railroad express
messenger, named Mccullough, was
knocked down by burly negro on the
station platform here, and robbed of his
pouch, containing an amount between
5000 and $1,000 Immediately
after knocking the messenger
down, the negro grabbed the pouch
and quickly made his escape in the dark
ness. The scufie and robbery were wit
messed by at least fifty persons about the
depot, but it was all done so quickly that
no one had time to recover from his as
constituent and interfere till the
negro had disappeared. The I'M
precedentedly bold robber was not
recognized by anyone, and was apparently
an utter stranger in this vicinity. No one
seems able to give anything like CO.
herent description of the robber, and no
clew to his identity and present where
aboutS has yet been CLEANED.

A Chinese Idea of Beauty.

There really seems to be no end TO
the queer things which are done by the
women of other countries to make their
faces conform to their own ideas of female
beauty. The feet, as you know, are de-
formed in China and Japan, and in some
countries the woman go so far as TO press
their children's heads between boards SO
as to make them fat, because they con-
slider fiat heads pretty and far superior
In beauty to the natural shape. The In
dian women thickly smear their heads
with bears fat. The Turkish women al
most without exception color their hair
red. In Greenland the women color
their faces blue and yellow. The women
and children of Guzurat stain their teeth
black, while the ladies of India and
Japan gid their teeth and make them as
brilliant as possible. But it remains for
the Chinese to do something which we
in our country would consider very bar
barous and cruel indeed.
The Chinese do not admire small eyes,
and to reach their standard of beauty a
girls eyes must be not only very large,
but very long and brilliant. The eyes
are easily made brilliant by putting GER
tain drugs in them, but to make them
long when nature has not intended them
to be so is quite another matter To ac-
complish it the women have often re-
course to kind of home surgery which
must be very painful. A Chinese mother
who has child affected with small eyes
takes the child at the age of 10 or 12 and
Sits the eyelid at the corner, just where
it joins the lower lid. A very small slit
Is made, and this is then left to heal. AS
soon as it is healed it is slit again, and
this process is continued until the eyes
appear very long and prominent.-Ex-
change.

The editor of the Tacoma News, who
visited Chicago during his wedding
trip, writes as follows about the fair:
"Those who intend visiting the fair
need be in no hurry. The opening is
only few days off, and one-half the
exhibits are not yet unloaded from the
cars. Ten thousand men are working
on the grounds and in the buildings,
but there is no possibility of the fair
being in full swing before at least the
last week in May. l have it on the
authority of one Of the leading men in
the directorate that the fair will not be
In condition to give satisfaction before
the third week of next month. And to
make ends meet by that time Chicago
will have to hustle as she never has
done before. Let no one think that
the Chicago hotel keeper, restaurant
man, hackman or other individual who
makes his money off the stranger, has
lost his nerve, and decided to give up
his original purpose of turning high
wayman. All of them are robbers,
with malice aforethought, and the
whole town has gone into the bunco
steering business. To sum up the
whole situation, the fair will be too big
to see thoroughly without spending
months at the job, and then even going
away disappointed. And only mil
lionaires will be able to stand the draft
on their purses for longer than a two
weeks visit. Three weeks TO the man
of ordinary purse means mortgaged
home, and four weeks means bank
ruptcy.n
