The Lewesses of Tnnis.

It is easier for a French bourgeoise tc get married without a dot of some kind than for a Jewess of Tunis to find a bridegroom, unless she is so fat as tc make exercise and even breathing alright a matter of difficulty. The prep aratlon an Israelite damsel has to un- dergo as soon as she is betrothed, or has come to marriageable age, can be compared only to that of the doomed goose before it perishes to have an ex- pensive resurrection in pate de foie gras. The Jewess, like the goose, is kept in dark room; Is inordinately gorged with fattening substances; and is allowed no exercise, no distractions; in a word, no opportunities for any thing but the speedy accumulation of fat. Where the Oriental of the poet speaks of his love as a gazelle, the Jew of Tunis dwells upon her obesity
 Love has many grotesqueries; surely none so unalluring as this valuation by weight and bulk.-London Exchange.

l
 | New York, Jan. 14-Stocks were IT, regular to-day, but in the main firm | Chicago Gas was weaker, opening at | 74h, ex-dividend of 1h per cent. de- | clining to TEA and closing at 729s. The borrowing rate was also easier and the | shorts had no difficulty in getting all
 the stock they wanted at 1-16 per cent. and under. The reasons assigned for | the heaviness of the stock were: First. sales for the account of the Benedict interest, which, it is said, will be retir-
 ed from the directory, and, second, to
 the threats of Attorney General Malo-
 ney of Illinois to prevent voting on the
 Fidelity Trust company receipts.

With sort of grim stateliness she approaches the cat, her poor victim stupefied and paralyzed with dread. Up to her very face stalks Annabel Lee. She is right under the whiskers and the soft throat where she can rend them.i And then her rage breaks forth-she flaps her wings, terri ble weapons of dreadful sound, and the cat is gone, fled like the craven that she is.
 Annabe1 Lee does not crow, vaunting her achievement. No boasting and no vainglory for her. The cat vanquished, the danger gone, Annabel Lee weeps bitterly; she calls piteously for Fanny; she flutters feebly; she is on the verge of mysteries.
 Wonderful is the guile of Annabel Lee-more wonderful than the guile of woman.

HOW TO TELL TIME IN THE DARK
It Needs Little Calculation and Regular Habits. Tlza

It Needs Little Calculation and Regular
 Habits. From the Chicago Record.1
 "What time is it?"
 CT think can tell you without look ing"
 He drew out his watch and held il up close to his ear and slowly turned the stem -winder. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight" he counted, and then he said: That means seventy tive minutes. I wound the watch up tightly at three o'clock, and so the time ought to be about twelve minutes past 4, Let's see how near I came to it. We'll it's 4:18--I was only six min utes off,"
 The other was regarding him with amazement. DO you mean to say that you can tell the time of day by wind ing up your watch?'
 Not exactly, but can come mighty near it; usually within ten minutes, and it's very simple, too. All you have to know is how long one tick in wind- ing up will run the watch. I'll explain to you. Suppose at o'clock wind up my watch until it is tight, as we say: that is, until another turn of the winder would apparently break the spring. At o'clock I wind the watch again and find that the winder clicks twelve times before the watch is wound up to the place where it sticks. Then you know that twelve clicks will run the watch 120 minutes and that one click repre- sents twelve minutes of time" ! What good is 1t to know that?" well, suppose you go to bed at elev- en o'clock tonight, and on retiring wind your watch and put h under your pillow. During the night you wake up and wonder what time It is. You don't want to get up and light the gas. All you have to do is to pull that watch out from under the pillow, hold it to your ear, and count the ticks as you wind If you count eighteen then you know the watch has run down 1S0 minutes since Il o'clock, and that the time must be very near 9 o'clock. To be sure, you can't tell the exact time, but you can generally get within a quarter of Y an hour of it."
 Wouldn't the same rule hold good for a clock or watch which Is wound with key?"
 ''I dare say it would, but never tried | 1t on anything except stem-wlnding watch I know blind man who al- l ways tells time by winding his watch | and counting the ticks, His sense of l touch is quite delicate, and he can wind l up his watch three or four times day 1 and then calculate within ten minutes | of the correct time"

To Experiment.

Mr.. A. Haas, who arrived by the
Mariposa, is an experienced farmer,
and he will enter into several agri-
cultural experiments at Mr. j. F.
Colburn's farm at Eva. BY the
Martha Davis lot of Poland pigs
will arrive, These pigs are said to
give very satisfactory result to the
farmer. They are small, but reach
the weight of 300 pounds in less
than 18 months, and they are said
only to eat half as much as an ordi-
nary pig. A lot of slips of the
blackberry vine arrived by the Mari
posa, and If the climate and soil at
Eva suit them, Honolulu can be
supplied with fresh blackberries in
six or seven weeks from now. The

The American League.

The regular meeting OF the Am

evening at the hall Of the League.
All members are requested to be
present. 1t is understood that a
resolution will be presented which
will express as the sentiment of the
League that executive clemency
should be extended to the political
prisoners yet confined in Jail. The
League passed similar resolution a
while ago, and the result was that
the large majority of prisoners were
released. We do not believe that
the sentiments of the League have
changed and trust that its good
Offices again will lead to the succor
of the few poor harmless men still
behind the bars.

a most serious manner during
the late epidemic Of what vital
Importance pure water is to all
human beings. While our me-
dical men have differed in OPT
Mon in regard to the nature
and treatment of the epidemic
which now fortunately is ended,
there has only been one opinion
in regard to the imperative
necessity Of having an am
pie supply of pure water
for all purposes. In Homo
lulu the water supply is now
plentiful both for drinking pur-
poses and for irrigation. The
same cannot be said for the
country districts. In many
places it is necessary for the in
habitants to carefully save rain
water in tanks especially where
artesian wells are impossible.
1t has, been a great help to
people living in the country
that we have introduced the
celebrated Aermotor in these
islands. Many people have
availed themselves of the golden
opportunity to purchase one Of
our galvanized Aermotors, and
they have in all instances ex-
pressed themselves as highly
satisfied with the bargain.
The Aermotor is especially
appreciated because it runs in
the lightest wind. Being geared
back three to one, it starts with
only a third of the load that the
ordinary mill has to contend
with. This enables it to start
and run in zephyr so light
that all competitors stand idly
by. Again, its lightweight and
perfect bearing enable it to face
up to and get the full benefit of
the breeze. The wheel is so
light and its efficiency so great
that it is an absolute calm in
deed which induces it to stand
still.
The lightweight of the Aer-
motor is a strong point in its
favor. The weight affects the
cost of transportation; the ease
of handling and erection; the
facility of turning on the tower
to face the wind for work; the
regulation for safety in a high
wind; the recovery of working
position when danger is past;
the sagging of the tower out of
shape; the vibration and break
ing of the tower in storm
and consequently the weight.
strength and cost of tower and
foundations. The Aermotor
only weighs about two-fifths as
much as the other mills which
do the same work. The great
disparity in weight is in part
made possible by the use Of
steel, malleable iron, and the
very best materials throughout,
and explains why so excellent a
piece Of work can be turned out
at so low price.
We invite farmers and others
who have use for an Aermotor
to call in at our stores. or write
