ORIENTAL LUXURP AT HOME
4O97-3t

The wonders of the Orient lay re-
vealed before the eyes of all who care
to see them, and that, too, without it
being necessary to journey to lands
across the seas.
The Oriental never does any more
work than is necessary, and when not
working, his engrossing care Is to
make himself comfortable. In many
respects the art of living appears bet
ter understood in the East than in
our bustling Western world.
There is now hardly fashionable
home that has not its Oriental room
or rooms, or at least its coZy corner;
sometimes the latter is Japanesque in
effect, sometimes Turkish; but what
ever it is, be sure it is the result OF an
inner craving for the beautiful things
of life.

PAYMENT FOR BOTH
The Lawyer Gets FOur Cents and
the Sailor Thirfy-fve.

Perhaps one of the smallest
checks ever issued by the United
States Government and one of the
smallest fees ever received by any
attorney, was received by Daniel j.
O'Brien, of Is Lafayette street, who
received a check from the United
States Navy Office, drawn on the
Assistant United States Treas
urer at New York, for the
sum of four cents. This check has
a story attached to it. Dur
ing the War of the Rebellion, Mr..
O'Brien was an officer on a cruiser
of the Northern navy, on which
Richard w. Allen was landsman.
At the close of the war the govern
ment distributed among the sea-
men of the navy the prize money
made by selling vessels captured
during the war. In this distribu-
ton Allen, who, with O'Brien, had
left the navy at the end OF the war,
was omitted. O'Brien, acting as
Aliens attorney, sent in a claim
for prize money to the Navy De-
partment in 1867, and since then,
through the succeeding twenty
eight years, he pressed Aliens
claim at intervals. To each de-
mand sent in the Navy Depart
ment responded that the matter
was under consideration.
Finally the postmaster handed
Mr.. O'Brien letter from the Navy
Department. Mr.. O'Brien opened
it, and there lay the check he had
been expecting for twenty-eight
years. He glanced hastily at the
figures on the precious slip OF
paper, and thought they read
$500" He glanced at the letter
accompanying it, and read that the
amount was 81 cents" for attor-
news fees. Mr.. O'Brien sought out
his client, Allen, and found him
gazing at check for 80 cents, his
prize money, which he had receiv--
ed few days before, and had had
framed and hung over his chin
neyplace.-The Albany Argus.

LOOKED LIKE CHOLERA GERMS.
An Old Native Saw Yellow Specks
in the Poi.

Another incident is told by
ladies who deal out rations to
needy natives at the central depot
of the Hawaiian Relief Society,
this one being about an aged ma
tive and his allowance Of poi.
"Poi for SIX" cried out one of
the ladies as she handed a rusty
old bucket to one of the native at
tendants.
"Poi for SIX" cried the attend
ant as he returned the bucket filed
with the pasty substance.
The native received his allow
ance and started to walk away
when something in the bucket
seemed to have the effect of hypno-
tizing him. His eyes started from
their sockets and the cold beads of
Precipitation On his forehead indi-
Gated fear Of some kind.
Returning the bucket to the lady
at the window, he pointed to some
yellow specks in the poi, we'll dis
tributed throughout the whole
mass. "He kumu kolera kela"
Chose are cholera germs), said the
native, who had evidently not been
educated in the science of bacteri-
ology.
The lady tried to explain that
the yellow specks were the roots of
the taro, which sometimes get into
the poi when the tubers are too
closely scraped. This was beyond
the comprehension of the man, and
the lady was about ready to give
up when young native
stepped forth and, tapping
his fellow-countryman on the
shoulder, launched forth in the
following scientific explanation:
Cali the poi in this place has
been cooked. If those are germs
they are dead ones, for the doctors
tell us cooking will kill germs.
Now then, you will have no trouble
after eating that poi"
ooh, all right" said the native,
and taking the bucket once more
from the lady, he walked away
perfectly satisfied.
A matter of considerable inter-
est, though not generally known,
comes up in connection with this
story.
A great many natives are of the
opinion that the germs of cholera
can be seen with the naked eye,
and for that reason are most per-
sistent in the matter of fishing.
They catch fish, and if they see
nothing suspicious, use them as
food without further thought about
the matter.
