For some reason which we cannot

mimicry. AS in the case of emotions s,
these influences may be infinitesimal

tend to mold the whole countenance,

Is one OF the most delicious and
appetizing 2e1ts imaginable. and is
an essential element to good feed
of raw fish and poi. 1t may be that
if some of our enterprising capitalists
would go into the manufacture of
inimona, as the natives call this
paste, they might find an ever-in-
creasing market for it. 1t certainly
is preferable to the suspicious Rus
sian caviare. The burnt she'll of
the kukui was used for the making
of an indelible ink, with which tat
tooing was done, The green husk
contains an acrid juice. which has a
reputation as remedy in disea ses
of the throat.
From the bark of the tree there
exudes a gum called piale, which is
as useful rs gum arabic or gum trag-
acanth for many purposes. 1t was
also used as medicine By the
Hawaiians in cases of dysentery. Be-
ing harm oss, 1t would be useful in
CONNECTIONS in making gum drops and
jujubes. The wood of the tree is
somewhat like our bass wood, and is
OF little value in building or in fenc-
ing as it rots very speedily. Some
times the natives made canoes of it,
but never considered them of any
value. AS the trees die off in the
forests their trunks and limbs are
found to be covered with an edible
fungus, called pepeiao, which was
formerly exported in great quanti-
ties to the Chinese markets To-day
the kukui nut is largely used in the
manufacture OF jewelry, which is
much priced oy tourists as mementoes
of visit to the paradise of the Pa
cific The she'll is quite hard and
takes brilliant polish. and can be
had in black and brown.

HAWAIPS USEFUL TREE.

lied by tho sandwich Islander.
In all the valleys of the Hawaiian
isles the tourist notices tree with
a quivering leaf which is a light
green on the under side and dark on
top, which he is told is the kukui,
or the candle nut 1T is so named
from the fact that in ancient times
the kernels OF the nuts were strung
on the midrib of the cocoa leaf and
used as torches. AS the uppermost
kernel burned off the next ignited,
and SO it burned until the last was
consumed. The tree was a very use
full one to the Hawaiian, not only in
many other reasons The nuts are
encased in husk like our waln ut,
but it frequently occurs that two
are formed in the same husk. The
kernel is extremely rich in oil, which
has been expressed and used for
house painting, although 1t is but a
poor substitute for linseed, in that
it is difficult to get it to dry and it
always has u peculiar odor The
natives, says the Hawaiian Gazette,
use the oil as an external remedy for
some diseases and especially as an
aid in parturition, Should you col
lect some of the nuts you will find
them good eating. but l should ad-
wise you to stop at one or two or you
will find you have an emetic and q

say
The natives roast the nuts in the
ashes, and, having removed The she'll,
crush the kernel to Il paste, mixing
them with salt and pepper. This

FACIAL RESEMBLANCES.

Why People living together Grow to
Resemble Each Other.
The fact that two people who live
long together tend to look alike is
accounted for by unconscious MIN
icry reacting upon the muscles of
expression in the same way that @
ruling passion does. The tendency,
says writer in Black woods Maga.
zine, to facial imitation is very gen.
eral-in fact, almost universal-and
may be SO marked as to be easily
noticed; SO that when two people are
engaged in animated conversation,
the expression of the listener may
often be seen to echo that of the
speaker. How INFECTIOUS" is q
laugh, even when the idea which
gave rise to it in the first case was
not transferred!
Several times, when talking to
young people, ! have suddenly and
purposely adopted some change of
expression, such as the raising of
the eyebrows; and this, although
not the least apropos to words spoken
at the time, had instantly evoked u
like movement ON the faces before
me. The response was quite involun-
tary and was pure piece of instinc-
tive reflex action. Why does yawn
spread like pestilence through tn Q
room when conversation fiagsp
know of those who have started such
an epidemic by little piece of act
ing, and not a mouth in the com pany
(save the guilty one) knew why it
gaped. Have we not all noticed

"Gentlemen of the jury, you have a
solemn duty, very solemn duty to
discharge. The life of the prisoner
at the bar is in your hands. You
can take it--by word. You can ex-
tinguish that life as the candle by

ment ago. But it is not in your
power, it is not In the power of any
of us-of any one in this court or out
of ito restore that life, when once
taken, as that light has been re-
stored" The tone in which the
words were spoken, the cadence OF
the voice, and the action of the ora
tor, with the inspiration of the
scene and the hour, produced a
thrilling effect. The jury acquitted
the prisoner, and Coleridge's fortune
was, made. .-Argonaut

MORE COWARDLT TRAIN -WRECKBRS.
They Try to DeraiI a Train on the
Mountains.
Fish-Bolts and Spikes Removed-The
Fiends Flee and Leave Their
Tools Behind.

Despite the showing up, in the Wood
land examination case, of the men who
were arrested for wrecking the train in
Yolo on the 1lth of July, some of the
wretches still st large seem to have an
idea that they can commit more murders
of the same sort and escape detection.
On Monday night they made another at
tempt TO wreck train between Blue
Canyon and Towles, on the Central Pa
ciic road.
The track-walker heard sounds tha
caused him to believe that some one was
tampering with the track, and Fastening
in that direction he got near enough to
the spot to see two men skulking away
from the track toward the brush.
He found plenty of evidence of the hell
ish character of the job in which they had
been engaged.
Close by the track lay q pick and
wrench which the towards had dropped
in their flight. He also found on exam
lining the track that fish-plates and spikes
had been removed. and the rails left in
such condition that the first train that
came along would have been derailed.
The point selected was where the grade
was quite sharp, and had the West-bound
passenger train happened along at it's
usual .down-hill rate of speed it would
have been thrown from the track and
possibly many persons killed.
1t is incomprehensible how men can
become so hardened as to seek to sacrifice
the lives of men. women and children
against whom they have no grievance,
real or imagined. If their aim is to in
jure the railroad company, why do they
not seek some other method that will not
involve the killing of people with whom
they never had any controversy what
ever?
The wrecking of train would not en-
tail sufficient injury on the railroad COM
pany to seriously interfere with its oper-
ations. Other cars would take the places
of those that had been wrecked, and
traffic would not be interrupted more
than few hours at most, while the prob
ability is the wreckers would be run
down and either killed in flight, hung, or
sent to the penitentiary for life.
AS it is, the country will be secured for
the miscreants who made this last at
tempt to murder innocent travellers, and
they are likely to be overhauled. IF
caught, hanging would be too light pun
ishment for them.

WOODLAND, Aug. 21.-The preliminary
examination of Knox and the other al
legged train-wreckers was resumed in
Justice Fishers Court this afternoon.
Carroll Cook, Judge Armstrong and
District Attorney Head were on hand,
but Attorney Hart's chair was vacant.
All the five defendants appeared, trinity
attired, and seemingly in cheerful mood.
Mrs. Hatch, the young wife, who has
been with her husband the past week,
because of his ill-health, was the only
lady present.
Attorney Gaddis arose with letter in
his hand from Mr.. Hart. in which the
Sacramento lawyer made the request that
the further consideration of the case go
over until next Thursday.
To this the prosecution objected. So
far as the Appleman, alias .sTexas'' case
was concerned, they would consent to
the continuance asked by Mr.. Hart, but
demanded that as TO the prisoners in
court the case proceed. Mr.. Gaddis said
that as to all the defendants, except Wor-
den, the defense was ready for the ruling
OF the court.
Worden got up and addressed the court.
He said he had talked with Attorney
Hart an hour or so beforehand by teIe-
phone. and that Hart agreed that he
(Worden) could put in his defense if he
desired to. Worden declared that he
wanted chance to put in proofs of his
innocence.
1t was finally agreed that the continu-
ance of Worden's examination and the
case of Appleman (''1exas'') should be
taken up on Thursday at o'clock.
