us. The people, the language, every
thing was new to Us. One of the
natives in the boat was Steven
Reynolds, who acted as pilot, and was
we'll known to all old residents. The
mother of the President of the Repub-
lie was one of the ladies who saw
these almost naked men in the boat,
and they all flew to their cabins, won
dering if these uncouth men We're
those among their lives were to be
spent.
When we landed, it was a strange
sight that met our view, and yet it is
in some ways the same today. We
heard the same sweet word that is
still in uSe-alOha-the word that eX-
presses as much to all who have lived
in these islands.
f My business, a clerk in the store Of
Ladd ~ Co., brought me much in con-
tact with tue natives, and / had to
learn the language. While doing
this, | had some curious experiences.
remember one day asking an
old native to get me a book, and he
told his boy TO - and find it. The
boy moved slowly, and the father
ripped out a regular sailors oath.
This made the boy move much more
quickly. / asked him what he meant
by using such language, and he said
it was haole talk. When | asked him
if he knew the meaning Of the words
he had used, he said they meant
''hurry up." He had noticed that
when the captain OF a ship swore at
his sailors, they moved faster, and
formed his opinion from this.
In those days, our methods Of sell
ing were different from what they are
now. We sold one yard OF silk for a
dollar, two yards Of turkey red for the
same amount, three yards of calico,
and four yards OF brown cotton cloth.
This was the universal price, and you
can imagine our surprise when we
woke up one morning and found an
Englishman selling six yards of cloth
for a dollar. The merchants were
disgusted at the innovation, banded
together. and decided to drive him
out OF town. But they didn't and he
thrOve.
The fish market in those days, was
simply q lot of lanai, covered with
leaves. Many natives used to come
down from the villages with their
two calabashes of poi slurg over their
shoulders. When they sold or traded
one, they would not divide the poi
that was in the other to make the
weight equal, but would put q large
stone in the empty calabash.
Every one in those days, had their
lookout for a ship. Whenever one
was sighted, which was not often,
there was great excitement. We didn't
get steamer nearly every week
then.
remember one evening, when the
first double quadriIle was danced in
Honolulu. This was the first time
that eight ladies could be found TO
dance together. 1t is different now.
There were quite a number of i'm
portant persons here in those days. /
remember one evening, there was a

Bi-Mefallic League.

There is to be convention of
the American Bi-metaIlic League
this year, as appears from an ad-
dress recently issued by General
A. J. Warner, the pres lent Of the
league. In his address it is de-
clared that the country has now
had a years experience under the
gold standard policy since the acts
of 1893 closing the mints Of India
and the stoppage Of the coinage Of
silver in the United States, and
that the results Of this experience
are manifest on every hand in the
business depression OF the country,
in labor strikes, and in the general
discomfort that everywhere pre-
walls. Congress, it is pointed out,
will soon complete its work, and
the general situation and the pros
poets before the country will then
be fully disclosed and meanwhile
state elections, involving the cleo
ton Of United States senators, have
already been entered upon, and
the campaign for the election of
members Of the house Of the Fifty.
fourth Congress will soon begin.
Under the circumstances the exec
utive committee Of the league has
thought it advisable TO call a con-
ference Of those who believe that
no permanent improvement in the
condition of the country can be
hoped for as long as the present
gold standard policy is pursued,
and who favor the restoration of the
bi-metallic standard in the United
States The convention, which is
to press for the establishment of
ratio Of IS to l, is to be held in
Washington on August 16.

The Delaware PIlIorY.

The whipping post and the pillory in
Delaware are practically one pie:e of
machinery. The post bears at rather
more than the height of tall man a
small platform and above that two
arms, each provided with three holes,
one for the neck and the other two for
the arms of the culprit The man to
be whipped stands at the foot of the
post with his hands secured to it above
his head. Sentence for some crimes in
Delaware name, Besides imprisonment,
the penalty of receiving so many lashes
on the bare back, ''well laid on, and
the requirement to stand thereafter so
many hours in the pillory. The SEN
tence of the pillory is no longer special
ly effective as terror to evildoers, in
the northern county at least, because
the culprit is invisible behind high
wall, where no gaping crowds can deny
him the boon of solitude. 1t is not
very many years since small crowds at
tended the whippings at New Castle,
and one sheriff was embarrassed by a
young woman, who persistently re-
quested the privilege of seeing the
sight from a window in his house adj

There is no more aggravating person
in the world than the one who is eter-
nally forgetting things. II find it so
hard to remember Names" walls
pretty woman, and her sympathizers
arise in scores.
Now, why on earth should il be hard
to remember names? Why should it be
hard to remember any common occur
renee? People rem ember what they
want to-that is, when they concen-
trate their minds upon thing it is not
apt to elude them. The trouble is that
thew will not do this. 1t requires a
certain amount of exertion, that is true.
But is the gain nothing? Unless a
woman is i'll in body or mind there is
no reason why she should not remem-
Der anything wishes to. The mind
is capable of great concentration, and
a good memory depends upon it. If
one has tendency to forgetfulness she
matte mental discipline.
Begin by forcing the mind at night
to call the events of the day, logically
and in their order. Give up making
notes of matters requiring attention,
and compel the mind to recall these
things. Cultivate Ia hit of close OBJ
servation of every little detail of sur
rounding. Learn to listc L carefully TO
names, dates, events as they occur and
especially cultivate the habit of men
tai review. 1t is wonderful how soon

TANDEM EeLS.
A Fisherman's Great Catch In q PennsyI-
vania stream.


The following story of a ''remarlxa-
BILE haul of tandem cells" is told with
all gravity by that usually veracious
newspaper, the Reading Pa Herald:
One Cosmos EckensOde was fishing in
the Tulpehocken when a migrating
band of these cells CHANGED to pass by.
The alleged peculiarly of this variety
is that when they are making for their
winter or summer quarters they move
like the abOrigines in single file, at a
distance of exactly six inches apart.
When any eel in the procession sees
that his immediate predecessor is
lengthening the space. il at once
darts forward, catches the others tai
in his mouth and jerks it into its legiti-
mate position. When migrating these
cells seldom stop to feed. but as Cosmos
bait dropped quickly in front of
one of them il took it in, was hooked
and Cosmos gave his pole jerk. The
following eel, true to the tandem" in
stiuct. seized its tail and vas drawn
rapidly away from eel number three,
" hich also obeyed its instinct, and so
with all the others. Cosmos very soon

it in hand-over-hand, until the ground
all around him was a writing mass
and he, completely exhausted, was
obliged TO cut the rope. Then he ran
to the nearest farmhouse for assistance
and from. it word was sent to the
neighbOrs, who FASTENED to the scene
with their wagons. The total weight
of the "tandems" was eight hundred
and fifty pounds. of this big catch
