A Collecting Fad.

Collections are present day fad. One
eccentric young woman has one of the
oldest fancies, which is that of collect
ing wishbones. She has vast assors-
ment strung about her own room and
any number Of others put away in boxes.
Among them are those Of particularly
large and particularly small birds, in
Guiding one Of a hu1nming bird. There
might be easily prettier ideas than this.
One girl, who spends much of her time
abroad, is making a study of silver
boxes Another buys brocades, and still
another odd and beautiful lamps All
these serve some after purposes of beau
tifying, but the wishbones are only
queer -Philadelphia Press.

Everybody does not know that ty
a very simple rule the duration f
night and day can be determined t
any time Of the year." said E. S. Yam
dell of Louisville "All you have to
do is to multiply the time Of the suns
rising by two and iJ will give you the
length OF thu night Multiply the
time of setting by two and you get
the length of the day. 1t is easily
demonstrated at the time of the year
when the sun rises aud sets at six
O'Clock, and day and night are of
equal duration. 1t is just as true as
the days lengthen aud shorten. Thus
as winter appro .ches take day when
the sun rises at $50 and sets At $3.50.
Apply the rule, and you have night
of Is hours and day of eleven hours.
The rule will be found absolutely ac
curate at any season of the year.

Boys and girls usually spend all the
money given them. This is for two
reasons; first, they have confidence
same source when they need more.
Second, the child values 9th ar things
much higher than monay They val
ne play, amusement, or the gra5ifica
ton of appetite, as first AMI foremost,
and use money merely as means of
gaining these ends. The faculty of
acquisitiveness, which urges the ac
curing and boarding OF money, comes
into more active play later in life.

Honolulu, living on board the yacht.
They do not expect to be more than
fourteen days making the passage
from San Francisco to Honolulu.
Among her passengers will be Mr..
and Mrs. F. w. Spears of Fruitvale,
Mrs. DIR. Brown of Oakland, and Mr..
and Mrs. Morrow of Oakland.
The Vine is owned by Captain John
Burns of San Francisco, who is well
known in Tacoma, and who is a large
landowner in the Northwest. Captain
Burns, his wife and his two daugh-
ters, who have travelled much on the
sea during the three years since the
Vine was built, are going to voyage
in new latitudes with her.
The Vine was built in Tacoma in
1890 under Captain Burns personal
supervision, and she cost $4,000. Her
build is that of revenue cutter, and
though she is very heavy, every line
is trim. She is schooner-rigged, with
a length of 125 feet and 80 feet breadth
of beam, and, according to the Chron-
icle, is said to be the strongest and
best built vessel of her kind, ever
turned out from Pacific Coast yard.
One thing that the Vines people
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1894-11-24

pride themselves on is the schOOner's
speed. Fourteen knots n hour is her
average ratr, and that is pretty good
clip for a sailing vessel. The reason
for this extraordinary speei is that
she spreads more canvas thar any YES
sci of her class on the Pacific or At
lantic coasts. Her tOpmasto are diff
ferent from anything out here. They
are more than ten feet Longer than
those of any other vessel of ber ton
mage 1t is called in nautical terms
the Eastern rig" but there are few
like it even on the y tlantic coast.
The Vines main boom is IS feet
long, and the topmast is a 53-foot
stick. Ordinarily the length Of the
topmast of vessel of the Vines ton
mage would be forty feet. This mann
moth yacht carries many yards OF

light sails aloft, a sail plan which
winds of the southern seas. Her
square sail will have a 60-foot hoist,
with square-sail yard 40 feet long to
be used in the trade winds. For these
winds fore-and-aft sails don't count,
so the Vine is going prepared for all
sorts of Zephyrs and gales.
Besides this new canvas aloft, the
principal changes in the Vine at pres
her capacity for slowing away passen-
gers. AT present twenty people can
be accommodated, all below the upper
deck, but q lot of deckroom that has
been heretofore wasted or used for
freight will now be utilized for state
rooms, for the Vine will do no trad
ing. 1t is the intention of Captain
Burns to build staterooms for twenty
four people on the upper deck. A
dining saloon, 25X20 feet, is also in
process of construction. The sailors
quarters ON deck will be forward, the
officers aft. The wine-room will be
in the lower cabin, and the old dining
room will be turned into a social hall,
with piano and upholstered divans.
The old sailors quarters will be meta
morphosed into the cooks galley, and
everything that is now chaos will be
shipshape by December 1st. OF course,
a considerable stock of provisions is a
necessity for so many mouths on
four months voyage, and stock OF
canned goods for twice the time is car
ried along, in case of delays in those
tantalizing doldrums.
The Vine, which is of 500 tons bur-
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1894-11-24

| den, carries 5000 gallons of water and
one of the improvements made in her
will be the addition of a refrigerating
apparatus between decks.
During her three years of service
the Vine has been a merchantmen,
trading between Tacoma and Central
and South American ports.
Such yacht as the Vine is no play
thing. 1t takes a number of men to
manage her, and the crew will be
twelve in number, including eolored
cook, two walters, a steward and
stewardess, four sailors, and a first
and second officer, all of whom are
experienced seamen. Though Cap
tain Burns will be in the party, he is
not going to command the vessel.
Captain Small, who has been sailing
the Vine for two years, will be the
skipper.

WANT THEIR MONEY.
A San Francisco House SwOOps
Down on a Shoe Man.

The store Of Christian Gertz, on
Fort street, is in the hands Of a po-
liceman, and will remain so until a
claim of $125O.9O is settled in some
wav. The matter will come before
the courts on account of a petition
that was filed yesterday morning
by the attorney of Porter, Schless-
niger IL Co., a San Francisco shoe
house. They want Gertz to be ad-
judged bankrupt.
The local shoeman is very much
worried over the affair, and de-
clares that he is willing to settle the
claim by returning boots and shoes
enough to cover the amount of the
bill. But the attorney Of the San
Francisco house is obdurate and
will not listen to any proposition
Of the kind.
Gertz declares that his stock on
hand is worth at least $2500, but he
fears that if an auction sale takes
place he will lose money, as the
goods will not bring anything like
the amount mentioned. Persons
not familiar with the shoe business,
would be surprised, after viewing
Gertz's stock, to learn that $25O0
worth Of stock adorned his shelves.
In note to the ADVERTISER, Mr..
Gertz intimates that the lawyers
are meddling lot, and that his
business is all right. He says he
is not aware of being bankrupt.

A still alarm was turned in last
evening about 6 o'clock for a fire
at J. P. Bowen's residence situated
in lane that shoots off the Wal
kiki road. Chief Engineer Hunt
gave orders for the supply wagon
to go to the scene and rushed out
himself. Upon his arrival he
found that the blaze had been ex-
tinguished by number of natives,
who had ripped up a portion of the
flooring to get at the fire.
The Chief made an Investigate on
and found that the fire had started
under the house, and in his opin-
ion it was the act of an incendiary.
The blaze was first seen by a ma
tive who summoned help. A rear
door was opened, and a lamp burn
ing, with the wick turned low, was
discovered.
After they had put out the blaze
a tin containing some coal oil was
found under the house, and it ap-
peared, to judge from the odor,
that the entire place had been
saturated with kerosene. The dam
age done will not exceed SIS. The
house is owned by the ex-queen.
Mr.. Bowen was accused by Lii
liuokalani's agent of setting fire to
the house. Mr.. Bowen made a
statement. He said:
81 was at the place at two in the
afternoon and again in the even
ing. On the second visit l was
accompanied by Jim Davis, the
adopted son of Mike Davis. We
went in to get a plant. lit a
lamp and turned down the flame
when we left. [ learned up town
that the house was burning and
hurried out there. Chief Hunt
asked me about cut oil tin and I
| told him l knew nothing of it.
"Liliuokalani's agent declared
had set fire to the place and
would not let me come on the
premises. l secured a policeman.
The agent mentioned that 1 was
behind with the rent. He had
turned the account over to Geo.
Boardman and I had made a satis-
factory arrangement with that gen.
tleman.
''It breaks me all up to think
that | should be accused of such
thing. All my clothes are out there.

but is worth good deal more. ssgSsst
