Nyhere n Mhnle is a Fish.

A conflict between the methods of
the Seattle Custom House and the
truths Of natural history arose recently
over the question of the amount of
duty to be imposed upon an article i'm
ported from China.
The goods in question are invoiced
under II name no one but a Chinaman
can understand, but are nothing else
than the flesh of the whale put up in
cans. George S. Bush, the broker who
entered the goods, wanted them classi-
fled as canned meat, but Deputy Col
lector Mcdonald insisted upon classl-
flying them as canned fish. There Is
no dispute about the goods being
canned whale, but an attempt to con
vince Deputy Collector Mcdonald that
a whale was not fish met with the
response:
Regardless of natural history, for
Custom House purposes a whale is a
fish"
The duty on canned fish Is per
cent. greater than on canned meat,
and an appeal will be taken from the
classification. - Seattle Post Intelli-

A NIomentous Time,

When Mrs. Spudkins called on her
friend Mrs. Dinsmore the other evening
she could see at once that something
unusual was about TO transpire. The
latter was dressed in her very best
gown, and she bravely tried to repress
the tears that came involuntarily as
she smiled upon her little daughter,
and tried to make the tot happy in IL
hundred ways that only mother
knows.
II want her to remember me as she
sees me now," said Mrs. Dinsmore. 81
want her always to think of her
mamma rs handsome and sweet For
this reason l have arrayed myself In
my very best before i change my
clothes ana go away from her"
Here the mother wept, but wiped
away the tears ere the child saw them
Mercy cried Mrs. Spudkins, as
the nm mse carried the child away,
what is going to happen? Are you
going to India as missionary, leav-
ing your family hereY'
"Oh, nor
"Are you going to the hospital to die
of an incurable diseaseT
"No."
"You haven't got a divorce with the
child given to the father?"
"Oh, no!'
Then why these tears, and this
solemnity of farewelly"

theatre was over John was steering

John said | firmly, we can't afford
it. The play was treat enough. Let's
be sensible; we had good dinner, and
we are not starving
"'Oh, hang the expense said Mr.
John. We might as well round off
with II bit of supper But | wouldn't;
as John says, L stood pat We went
on home, and my man wasn't in the
best of humors, for when n man is
hungry he doesn't think much of the

in the New Orleans Picayune.
"Wcll, when we got home John threw
the bedroom door open with Il bang,
and there in the middle of the floor
was my sewing table with as dainty
lunch as one could wish. We had had
a leg of mutton for dinner, and | had
shredded down some of 1t, chopped up
Il couple of shallots fine and added two
cold potatoes cut into dice and covered
the whole with mayonaise made after
'Catharlne Coles prize recipe. Then
there were few olives and some
dainty slices of bread and butter and
bottled beer. All on a white cloth with
chairs drawn up, and as cosy as could
be. John was simply delighted. Since
then he often asks me to go to the the
atre, for he says he can stick me for a
supper that tastes better than any hot
bird and cold bottle that he could or
der down town."
What else do you have for those
suppers?' inquired curious wife, who
had never had the happy thought of
playing hostess for only her husband.

Against some bad art-tendencies; and as
for all the rest,
There's hardly one, | may. say none, who

True artists are a rare rare breed; there

4 Regulator.

The Chicago Tribune says: A watch,
man, who lives on Clark street, has
invented a patent compeno-retarding
accelerating clock for use in families
where they keep unmarried daughters
in stock. If the young man is of an
eligible sort the retarding attachment
is turned on and the clock combounds
with old time mt eighty minutes to the
hour, so that at l A NJ. the next morn
ing it only indicates about 11:05 p. NJ,
the night before, and the young wO-
man is perfectly justified in saying
"Oh, don't; it is early yet" when the
young man reaches for his hat. On
the other hand, if he should not be de
sirable, they just shove up the indi
Gator to boiling point, and by 9:30 Il
is nearly o'clock. The patentee, cast
ing himself upon the generosity of a
discerning public, invites patrons to
increase the efficiency of his invention
by judicious yawns or remarks, as
Dear me, how the time does hyr' and
in extreme cases an admirable effect
may be produced by the father com
ing in with bedroom candlestick and
saying: Goodnight, Amanda. Before
you go to bed see that when the girl
gets up in the morning she leaves out
the milk pitcher" No family should
be without one.

An Astounding Echo.

At Nine. Arabelles the conversation
turned upon echoes, and a lady in the
company declared that she knew of
one that repeated n sound nine or ten
times.
Pooh! that is nothing" said the Mar
quis; II have an echo that can beat
yours into fits"
'Impossibler' said everybody in
chorus.
"You can put 1t to the test If you
like"
Very well, we will step across to-
morrow to hear for ourselves"
"Yes, come without fail" and so
saying the Marquis took his departure,
meditating little scheme of his own.
On reaching his mansion he sent for
his lackey, Sancho by name.
You are up to all sorts of tricks, old
chap. Do you think you could manage
to play the part of an echo?"
Certainly, my lord; you have only
to shout Ho! no! and / repeat the
same"
Very well; tomorrow afternoon you
shall go and stand in that clump of
trees behind the lake and repeat thirty
times any call that you may hear,
gradually lowering your voice; but
mind-mum's the wordr'
Next day his lordship's friends came
trooping into the park. Sancho was
at his post, priclling up his ears. "Now
ladies and gentlemen, your doubts will
soon be dissipated," said the Marquis;
will you be the first to try the expert
ment, madameW
NO thanks, Marquis; your voice is
louder and more effective for the pur
pose than mine"
Whereupon the Marquis inflated his
lungs and called out at the top of his
voice:
Are you thereY
TO which the echo made answer;
'Yes, my lord, I've been here n couple
! of hours!'-La Fanielle.

The Honolulu Amateur Musical
Society met at the residence of Mrs.
Alex. Macintosh in Nuuanu valley
Tuesday evening and disbanded. 1t
had not had a meeting before in ten
years. Rev. Macintosh presided, and
+. j. Lowrey occupied the secretary's
chair. The property of the society was
given away. The piano and cash on
hand, amounting to 800, went to the
Y. NJ. G.. A., and the book of records to
the Hawaiian Historical Society. This
occupied but short length of time.
A few minutes later the meeting was
again called TO order. Rev. Mackin-
tosh presided as before and Wray
Taylor acted as secretary. A musical
society was then formed and those
present were made charter members
A committee ON constitution and by
laws, consisting of w. w. Hall, Miss

of Misses Richards and Won Holt, Mrs.

Company A, as usual, had very well

wound up with skirmish drill which
reflected great credit upon the boys and
their efficient commander, Captain Paul
Smith. 1t Is said that Company A is
drilling for twenty kegs this time.
B Company also had drill Tuesday
evening There was fair turnout. Sew
eral lady visitors ratified the boys in the
first four somewhat, but the soon recov-
cred and went through the maneuvers
like veterans.
The report has gotten around among
the men that Company d is drilling two
nights per week on the quiet. The
small turnouts of that command is all a
fake, and is done for effect. They say
that it comes TO a competition drill fol-
prizes Company d will suddenly wake
up as it were, and take every thing Oh
tie board.
Company c is getting in its best lickt
at present. The boys are drilling like
they mean business. The competition
drill will show that the command hai
been very wide awake of late.

FOR THE LEPERS.
They Will BE Given IA Merry Christ
mas" This Year.

Mr.. Wray Taylor is arranging con-
cert and illustrated stereopticon lecture,
to take place at Kaumakapili Church on
Tuesday evening, December 18th. The
object of the lecture will be to give a
Cherry Christina" to the lepers Of
Molokai. Mr.. Marsden will deliver the
lecture and Mr.. Hedemann will handle
the stereopticon. The views will be
mixed, and will be varied in the most
interesting way possible.
A committee consisting of three ladies
and two gentlemen will decide in wi at
shape the lepers will receive their
Christmas gifts. The committee has
not yet been selected, so that their
names can not now be given. Every
dollar realized from the concert will go
to the lepers. This idea for raising
money for the usual Christmas gifts to
the unfortunates on Molokai is a new
one, but is thought to be capital plan.

VIII Probably Re Released During the
Afternoon.
j. P. Bowen, the man accused of set
ting fire TO his residence at Waikiki, was
arrested Tuesday afternoon and lodged
in Jail. On the way to the station
house he called in at G. W., Ashford's
Office and retained that gentleman as
attorney in the case. Bail was fixed at
$1,000 During the evening Mr.. Ash
ford tried to get bail for his client but
failed.
E !rly this morning preliminary con-
ference between Marshal Hitchcock, the
prisoner and Mr.. Ashford took place
An effort was then made by Mr.. Bowen
to have his bond reduced to 81 900. The
matter was referred to Attorney General
Smith. At the conference it was also
agreed that the trial should be postpone d
until Saturday. Immediately afterward
report was circulated to the effect
that Mr.. Bowen, if able to obtain bonds,
would make the best possible use of the
time given him.
Mr.. Ashford conferred with the AT.
torney. General and it was agreed that
the bonds should be reduced to $1,000
The attorney succeeded this afternoon
in getting the promises of two gentle
men to go on as surity for the amount
They are Messrs. Hugh Mcintyre ant
Fritz wilhelm. Up to 3 o'clock thi
afternoon the bondsmen had not signed
but it was understood that they would
later on. 1t is also reported they hav'
financial security from Mr.. Bowen il
a small amount.
There the matter stands. Bowen i
still in Jail, but if the present arrange
ment carries, will be liberated befor
night.
