voweIs In tie Hawailan Toneoe.

The Hawaiian language is composed
mainly Of vowels and few consonants
put in to vary the monotony. And the
beauty of the system is that there is no
waste. Every vowel is pronounced. For
instance, when the American eye winks
at the appearance of the simple word
'naauao." the glib native rolls out the
five syllables with neatness and dispatch.
This means ''enlighten." Double VOW
els are very frequent, but never diph-
thong. Three vowels are not uncom-
mon, and, as above, four and sometimes
more are found unseparated by conso-
nants. In the mouth of the uneducated
native the language is apt to be explo-
sive, but the higher classes speak it with
a fluent grace that surpasses the French
or the Italian. In sound it somewhat
resembles the general flow Of the con-
tinental European languages, for the
vowels all have the French quality, and
the accents are not dissimilar ~ Wash

Only fifth in order of frequency,
says Proctor, comes the hand which
many suppose the most frequent, that of
greatest uniformity of distribution, one
four card suit and three three card suits.
There are So, 9O5, 856, l60 ways of max

II has been generally remarked that
no class Of articles at the Midwinter Ex-
position received more attention than
the various indispensable, and to the
masculine mind, mysterious adjuncts to
the toilettes Of our fair ladies'. Manu-
iacturers from every part Of the globe
were represented, and the poducts OF
America, France, England and Germany
competed for the honor Of the first
award at the great Exposition. The
points Of competition were: freedom
from all injurious or deleteious sub
stances, efficiency in producing the de-
sired results expected in preservatiye
OF the complexion, chemical skill in pre-
pairing and compounding, and finally,
elegance OF appearance and general style.
Upon all these points Camelline" " was
awarded highest position, and received
the unusual distinction OF special
honorary diploma OF merit, result not
only eminently gratifying to the manu-
tacturers, Messrs. Wakelee 4 Co., the
manufacturing chemists OF San Fran

judgment of the ladies OF the Pacific
Coast, who, long ago, pronounced in
favor OF the superior excellence OF
