IN gossip on royalty Marquise de
Fontenoy give still an additional
cast to the character of the young
Emperor Of Germany, whose per
sonality is the European political
problem Of the day. Prince Henry
of Prussia, brother of the dasliing
and erratic ruler, has just been pro-
NOTED from the rank Of captain to
that OF rear admiral in the German
navy. Prince Henry is exception
ally well balanced and level headed
and is a tremendous favorite with
both the aristocracy and the COM
mon people. Knowing all this, his
distinguished and powerful brother
keeps him i'll the back ground.
Prince Henry is assigned to isolated
stations and must humbly ask his
brothers permission to visit Berlin,
or London, or even to leave his
ship for few hours. This is es-
pecial bitterness in view Of the TACT
that Prince Henry was the fathers
favorite and was favored in the
will.

The eyes of deep sea fish are very varied;
some have neither eyes nor sight; Others
have greatly enlarged eyeballs, so as 10
catch the least glimpse of light Their
eyes tend either to disappear or to be un.
usually efficient, but since no trace of sun.
light can penetrate to any great depth, and
1t is probably quite dark beyond depth
OF some 200 fathoms, of what use can eyes
be' -
Fish have been captured at depth of
nearly 5000 fathOms, where there must be-
not only absolute stiffness, but also total
darkness, except for the fact that some of
these deep sea creatures are phosphorescent
and therefore luminous This fact was first
ascertained in the Challenger expedition
Since then, Mr.. Alcock OF the Indian ma.
rine survey has found that some deep sea
crlstaceans have a similar power, one large
prawn quite lighting up bucketful Of
water in which it was placed. Fish with
large eyes have therefore better chance OF
finding food and mates, but they cannot
wholly depend upon sight, since some have
quite abandoned all attempts TO see.
Some again, have luminous organs on
their head or body or tail, which are under
control, so that they can actually throw
light at pleasure on their prey or extip-
guish 1t In times Of danger. Thus the an.
gler, among Others, attracts its prey by
means OF these colored lures or phosphores-
cent lights.-Chambers' journal.

THE sending abroad of misstate-
ments as to the financial standing
and prospects Of the Government is
but the ringing Of change on the
part of those who make a business
of criticizing and of slandering the
country. The truth is that the
Government pays its salaries and
expenses the same as any concern
in good standing, has a reserve
and has no trouble in borrow
ing money when cash is needed.
In 1895 there have been extra
ordinary expenses of SI25, 200
on account of instruction, and
nos, 600 or more on account of an
)idemic Of four weeks. Extensive
public improvements are under
way, and there has been consider
able expenditure on military. The
outcome is most likely to be tariff
and license for opium. This article
is at present con,raband and much
money is used in marx eddy inefect-
nal endeavor at suppression of trade
ia the drug. 1t is estimated that
duty on opium and tax on dealers
would yield over SIoo, 900 per an
mum. This would much more than
cover any possible deficit. The
prospects Of Government receipts
+ ON the sale and lease Of public |
lands are also excellent.

IT IS inexplicable that a man
having the familiarity with Ha.
waiian affairs, w. r. Castle is sup
posed to possess, should intimate
that there were fears of the annex
alton Of the islands by Japan. II
he has made such a statement in
seriousness he must have stumbled
upon the basis for it abroad.
Nothing has happened here at any
time to afford pretext for such an
inference. 1t is quite clear, for the
present at least, that Japan has no
hunger for distant territory. She
has not shown very voracious
appetite for handy land. The
japanese are, however, getting
very strong foothold in the
industrial and commercial fields
in Hawaii.

TESTED.

Besides testing our Wheels by fast and hard
riding, our riders yesterday conducted a very sue
ccsful test on King street which has fully satisfied
US land the riders) that the high grade wheels we
handle have the proper stuff in Them and plenty oft
Our riders selected King street opposite Mr. S.
Parkers residence the best place make the test
We had four Wheels out, and they were coming along
at "cip" that would have heated the bearings of
many so called high grade cycles. At the proper
time the Little Chap tied the combination up and
the test begun. There were Wheels in the air,
Wheels in the middle and ON both sides of the road,
and riders going towards town if they were late
for dinner After picking themselves up and the
Wheels, it was found that, as was to be expected,
there was not piece of metal broken in any of the
four Wheels The only damage done to the metal
parts was a bending of part here and there which
DR. Wooten Strengthened out in a few moments this
morning. Our riders say they won't conduct any
of these tests for us and thought they would
not want to, so we had the four Wheels tested at
once, and now satisfied that what the makers
say about the Wheels is true, and we back up their
guarantee fully.
When you want a first class Wheel one that
won't go to pieces under you if you happen to ride
off sidewalk, call at the headquarters for high grade
Wheels in Honolulu and you will get what you
want.

He Forgot the Word.

A hotel clerk told this story Three
men from the country came into the
hotel and registered for lod ging, and
few minutes later two of them went
out to see the town. II will stay
here" said the third, and look at
the things p and he took seat near
the door. At 10 o'clock, half hour
later, the man who was left, went up
to the clerk.
II want to remain" said he.
Call right, SIR answered the clerk.
The man stopped and looked at the
clerk, and finally went back to his
chair near the door. He sat still an
other hour, and returned to the desk
eff you please, I'll remain said
"That' 5 all right, sir, ;" was the re-
sponse. eve hope you'll be with us
some time.
The man hcsitated and went back to
his chair. 1t was away after mid
night when he went up to the clerk
for the third time.
"I think I'll remain, SIR he said:
owe have no objections, answered
the man behind the desk. The guest
did not go back to his chair, however,
but stood still.
Shortly afterward another guest
came up and asked the clerk for his
key, "and I'll retire."
''Retire Retire That's the word
I've been trying to think of for three
hours. For Heaven sake let me re-
tire" interrupted the man who had so
desired to remain, and he was at last
happy.

infallible test either for the approach

person whose case is being examined
is seen to make no use of his thumb,
if he lets it stand out at right ngles
from the hand, and employs it neither
in salutation, writing, nor any other
manual exercise, you may set it down

Norris Find.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, July 12.-About
two months ago William Morris, an
ante-bellum negro, moved into the
vicinity Of Newmarket, 20 miles above
here. Like all new corners, he heard
that cave near that village contained
buried treasure left by a fugitive
from justice, who was captured and
shot while trying to make his escape.
Upon learning the location Of the
cave, Morris set about finding the
treasure. In an old kettle he found
$4,000 in silver and gold. Some Of
the coins were strange to him and he
sent for his brother, who's a professor
in the State normal and industrial
school here, to help him count the
money. They decided that his broth
er take the money to Gadsden and ex-
change it for greenbacks, which was
done, Morris giving his brother $500
for his services. The remainder, ex-
cept 5000, was carried back to the cave
and buried. Like the balance Of his
race, Morris found his secret hard to
keep and last Sunday morning told
Nat Powers about his fortune and
showed him the 5000.
Sunday night Powers and two ne
groes went to Morris cabin and in
vited him to a nearby schoolhouse to
drink some whisky. There they pre-
sented pistols and told Morris unless
he went to the cave and gave them
the money he would be shot. After
climbing the mountain side for some
time, Morris told Powers that they
had almost reached the spot and that
the two negroes should be left behind
while they secured the money. A
short distance away they came to a
large fat rock, under which Morris
said the money was buried. Powers
began feeling around the edge Of the
rock and Norris ran for his life, but
Powers shot him down.
The old negro tainted and Powers,
thinking he was dead, ordered a trench
prepared and fagots gathered to burn
the body. Morris then showed signs
of life and was dragged back to the
stone and threatened with death unless
he showed where the money was buried.
Morris promised that if carried home
until he recovered, he would get the
money and give it to Powers. Powers
said he would send a physician to
dress his wounds and told Morris if he
valued his life at all to say that he
was shot stealing chickens. Powers
then sent Morris home by the two ne
groes, and returning to Newmarket
secured the services Of DR.. Blanton to
dress the wound. Powers father is a
prominent man and not word was
said about the matter until the sheriff
and his deputies made the arrest last
night. Morris has gone with the
sheriff to bring his money to this city.

inviolatc or We would never catch
another still. "
A few years ago, when I was get
ting the right Of way for the East Ten

another still. y
A few years ago, when was get
ting the right Of way for the East Ten
nessee railroad, I was belated one
moonlight night in Pauldipg County,
and had to ride several miles to the
house of an acquaintance who was
with me. Down in an ugly ravinc
our road crossed a little branch, and
near it was a covered wagon and a.
yoke Of steers and two rough-looking
men sitting by campfire. "Moon-
sinners" said my friend. ''There is
still up the branch about mile, and
these fellows have started to market
with some whiskey. I know them,
and they know that I know them and
their business. We must stop min
ute and be friendly, or they may sus-
pect that you are revenue officer. :"
We stopped and chatted awhile, and
my friend told who [ was and what |
was doing. They were easily satisfied,
but didn't like the looks Of the two
guns that were leaning against a tree.
Not long afterwards I was driving to
my country home near Gainesville
and overlook tired man who had a
little black valise in his hand. I
asked him if he wouldn't like to ride.
and he thanked me and got in. "How
far are you going this way p l asked.
"To Fannin County," he said.
'Did you come on the train this
evening ?" I asked.
''No, sir" said he; II have walked
from Atlanta. Been staying there for
three months"
"N1oonshiner ?" said I.
"That's it," said he.
''They took you down on the cars
and sent you back on foot p said L.
''That's it, !" said he.
"Well, my friend, I reckon this
will make you quit the business, won't
it 2"
"Well, I don't know about that.
We rather like it up in the mountains,
and it's about the only way we can
sell our corn. One bushel will make
three gallons Of whiskey that we can
sell for So, but we can't haul the corn
sixty miles to market" /"
''But it is against the law" said 1.
eyes. I know it is, but there is no
sin in lodging law that was made
for rich men to get richer and keeps a
poor man down. There is no justice
in these revenue laws. /"
And so it goes on and will continue
to go on. It is very much like the
smugglers on the coast. The very
hazard of it is fascination to those
who pursue it. There are smugglers
now on the Florida coast whose faith
ers and grandfathers smuggled before
them, and the business will continue
down for generations to come.
