Notwithstanding the fact that
Monday night is no, good
shester night in this city,
the Opera House was fair
ly well filled last night, Fred
erick Rryton's pretty story, Fer
given,n was the attraction, and it
met with much favor. The men,
bers Of the DALEY Stock Company

organization that is conceded 80 be
the best that has ever visited Ho-
nolulu. As usual, the play was
carefully staged and we'll acted.

drama. II deals with the life of
Jack Dimond, a gambler, who
marries society girl, who is in
turn sought for by Willard Gra-
ham, the pretended friend of Di-
mond's. The gambler returns
home unexpectedly and finds his
friend making love to his wife, and
prevailing on her 30 leave home
with her child. Dimond believes
his wife guilty and there Is a sepa-
ration. They meet fifteen years
later. when by chance Willard
Graham, the false friend, appears
on the scene. and in subsequent
act Graham is killed, but not by
Dimond, but by former wronged
husband, Frank Popham, Before
DYING Graham eonfssses the wrong
he has done and clears the wife. A
happy ending then follows.
The part of Jack Dimond was
well played by Darrell Ninton,
and Nav Nannary won new la0rels

INC ONGRUOUS CLOTHING.

man went into clothing store
yesterday to buy a pair of yellow
leggins for his small son. He bought
them. AS the clerk was doing them
up he said to the man: Don't you
want hat to go with them p
What kind of a hat?" asked the
man.
81 would suggest" said the clerk,
smoothly, that you buy a sailor
cap. They are vel y pretty"
Twill you kindly tell me- said the
man. severely, what on earth a
sailor would do with leather leg
gins, or person who wore leather
leggings would do with a sailor
hat?"
What do you mean ?' gasped the
clerk.
Il mean just this: Have you not
intelligence enough to know that
that combina ton of hat and leg
gings you just proposed is about as
homogeneous as anything could be p
The clerk hesitated a moment.
Then he said slowly: Il don't know
what you mean by homogeneous,
but can tell you that it don't have
no bearing on the clothing business -
And he was just about right

A LESSON LEARNED.

1t was very hot day, and the
little boy was lying on his stomach
under the big linden tree reading the
Scottish Chiefs
Little boy" said his mother, will
you please 60 out i'll the garden and
bring me head of lettuce ?"
"Oh, I-can't said the little boy.
''T m-too hot ?"
The little boys father happened to
be close by wedding the geranium
bed, and when he heard this be lifted
the little boy gently by the shoulders
and dipped him in the great tub OF
water that stood all ready for water
ing the plants.
There, my son!" said the father.
Now you are cool enough to go
and get the lettuce; but remember
next time that it will be easier
to 60 at once when you are
told, as then you will not have to
change your clothes"
Then the little boy went drip, drip,
dripping out into the garden and
brought the lettuce. Then he went
drip, drip, dripping into the house
and changed his clothes; but he said
never word, for he knew there was
nothing to say.
That is the way they do things
where that little boy lives. Would
you like to live there? Perhaps not.
Yet he is a very happy little boy,
and he is learning the truth of the
old saying:
Come when you're called, do as you re
bid,
Shut the door after you, and you'll never
be cfd.'

GET GOOD DIGESTION.
P4INE'S CELERY COMPOUND THE
GREATEST OF REMEDIES.

Influence of the Nerves on Various
Diseases-The Way Frank Bair of
Chicago Regained his Heahh-Prof.
Phelps Wonderful Prescription.
Increased cares and duties, increase in
mental strain, lessened physical labor
and increased mental work, have been
gradually giving us bodies in which the
nervous element predominates.
Diseases are today as different from
diseases of a century ago as is their
treatment. While the average individ-
ual now does more mental work, we are
not as we'll able to bear the strain as
they were.
Nine-tenths of us neither eat, sleep, ex-
erc1Se, battle, nor recreate ourselves in a
proper way. 1t is all hurry and tur-
MOL. Little rest and much care.
When the albumen and fbrine of the
blood-the nutritious principles of the
blood-become deficient in their relative
proportions to the other parts of the
blood, the health suffers. If nervous
power be depressed, then the food is i'm
perfectly digested, assimilated, and con-
verified into blood and tissue.
There is the cause in nutshell of half
the diseases and illness in the world
Here is the cure-the great medical
discovery of modern times-the remedy
first prescribed by the greatest physician
of this age, Prof. Edward Phelps, Nj d.
D., L. L. D., of Dartmouth college-the
remedy that has made more people well
than any other ever known-the truest
food for the perves-the best known
strengthened of impoverished blood
the remedy that from one end of the
country to the other, and in Europe as
well, is endorsed by physicians, pre-
scribed and used by them, recommended
by the plain people, unequivocally en-
dorsed by men and women of wide repu
tation, blessed by thousand-Paine's
celery compound.
Try it. Any druggist has it or will
get it for you.
Read the following unsolicited letter
from Mr.. Bair, one of Chicago's best
known and most highly esteemed young
business men, the western agent of the
great firm of Nash, Wilton & Co., salt
dealers of New York:
Il have used Paine's celery compound
for the past six months, and must say
that it has helped me wonderfully. l
had pain in my back and chest, and faint
tired feelings at the stomach. and when
l would eat the taste would make me
deathly sick. l became very weak and
lost about 20 pounds. After having
used few bottles of Paine's celery com
pound l am feeling better than 1 have
in all my life" Try it.

WEIGHING THE EARTH.

1t has not been put in a scale and
balanced against a known weight,
but mathematicians have calculated
its weight. Professor Maskelyne
first attacked this subject in 1872,
when, by repeated experiments, he
determined the attraction exerted at
Mount Schihalion in Perthshire,
Scotland, on a plum line, which it
caused to deviate from the perpen-
dicular nearly six seconds. Playfair,
Cavendish, Hutton and other scien-
fists then determined that the struc-
ture of this mountain made it have
a density, as compared to the mean
density of the earth, FIVE to nine
Then the comparative density of
SchlhalllOn to water was ascertain
ed, and that of earth to water being
known as about FIVE and a half to
one, it was not hard to calculate the
rest, knowing the cubical contents of
the earth. 1t has been stated
as 5842 trillions of tons Of
2240 pounds each, or a value in
pounds avoirdupois represented by
thirteen and twentv-four ciphers.-

PATHS PROUDEST MOMENT.

M me. Patti has had many proud
moments, but her proudest is to
her an ever-present and ever-pleas-
ant memory, she assures US, through
a recent interviewer. The Prince of
Wales was the cause of her supreme
happiness, and the famous singer
thus describes the incident. For a
great and unexpected honour most
gracefully rendered." she said, Il
have experienced nothing that has
touched me deeper than a compli-
ment paid by the Prince of Wales
and distinguished company at a
dinner given in honor of the Duke of
York and the Princess May a little
while before their wedding. The
dinner was given by Mr.. Alfred
Rothschild, one of my oldest and
best friends. There were many roy
alties present, and more dukes and
duchesses than I can easily remem-
Der. During the ceremonies the
Prince of Wales rose, and to my
great astOnishmelt, proposed the
health of his old and valued friend
Nine. Patti He made such a
pretty speech, and in the course of
it said that he had first seen and
heard me in Philadelphia in 1860,
when sang in Martha, and that
since then his own attendance at
what he was good enough to call
my victories in the realm of song
had been among his most pleasant
recollections. He recalled the fact
that his wife had held up
little Prince George, in whose honor
we were this night assembled, and
babe him kiss me, so that in after
life he might say that he had kissed
the famous Nine. Patti And then,
do you know, that whole company
Of royalty, nobility, and men OF
genius, rose and cheered me and
drank nv health"

THE BOOMERANG.

This novel weapon became an in
tensely interesting object to me very
soon after arriving ia Australia and
for the purpose of studying 1t, l
went per>istently among the black
fellows, " hose friendship Icultivated
in different wa. :. and so succeeded
eventually in learning how TO make
and throw the boomerang. So far,
could learn nothing. Of the origin
of the crooked stick there is no
knowledge; one can only conjecture.
1t is possible it may have been born
with the race itself from the ac-
cidental throwing of a fiat stick; for
from childhood the black fellow
shows a natural bent for thro wing
things, as you can see by Watching him
use his only other weapons, the spear
and club. The bow and arrow, so
common in other lands, are not used,
except in the extreme northern pOr-
ton of the great island continent,
where there is a mixture of the race
with the Papuan of New Guinea.
There is the war boomerang, hunt
ing boomrang, amusement boone
rang. This last is used for light
hunting, such as killing ducks, cock
atoos, and parrots. and is the one
that is referred to when speaking Of
the boomerang. These sticks meas
ure from a foot and half to three
feet and half in length, the fighting
and hunting ones being the largest
and heaviest. The hardest and
toughest wood is selected, and the
form Of the weapon follows the grain
of the wood; thus, if the crook of the
root or limb is little or much, so is
the form of the boomerang. You
will find that nearly every one is Of a
different shape. In my collection l
have them varying from almost
straight to a shape like that of the
letter V.
Nearly straight, curved, plain,
ornamented, some with strange
carvings, and all varying according
to different sections of the country
it's own make or style, showing re-
spectlvely rough crudeness or con-
siderable finish, and being especially
characteristic in the ends or points
all of which a boomerang connois-
seur will distinguish at once, and
locate as to tribe and section.
In the black fellows humpy, where
he keeps his collection thrown down
in a corner with pile of spears,
clubs, rags, bark, and skins of kan
CARGO and wallaby, have seen very
rare and curious specimens.
The nomad black fellow makes his
primitive humpy, or hut, in a loca-
ton chosen temporarily, according
to his necessities for hunting, fishing
and the like, by cutting young
sapling halt through about four feet
from the ground, and bending it
over to a horizontal position. thus
forming ridge-pole, against which
boughs and strips of bark are laid.
The covered side is always against
the wind, and before the open front
fire is always burning or shoulder
ing. He does not like the wind, and
if it changes, presto! the humpy,
too, is changed in a twinkling.
Down in this humpy corner, under
meath the pile of bark and skins, he
will burrow like a rabbit when he
goes to sleep, and from the same
place he will provide himself with
weapon when starting off for a
hunt Harper's Young People.
