Euc.enie's First Ancestor.

1t is not generally known that EN-
press Eugcn ME was partly an Irish wom-
an. Yet upcn one side she was descended
from an Irish soldier of fortune-there
were any amount of them-who made a
name and place for himself i'll the in
tcrminable Spanish wars. When there
was talk Of her marrying the Emperor
Napoleon, some of the old nobility
sneered at her pedigree. Then came
heralds tracing out Irish blood lines
until the French authorities in disgust
conceded that Eugene was descended
from all the royalties of Ireland hack to

serve to convey one to the larger
coffee regions that the island of
Hawaii affords, with view of our
grandest mountains and assorted
volcanoes to boot. On the way to
these exhibits the traveller with a
stop-over check from Purser
Beckley may inspect the temper
ate zone cultures of the mountain
slopes of Maui, ascending-for
his fill of the purest ozone of
earth's atmospheric strata and
satiation with sublimity of
scenery, above the clouds-to the
summit of Haleakala, the vastest
extinct crater ever viewed by
human eyes. Contrast such an
exhibition as Oahu provides
in itself, and the corollaries
furnished by the other islands,
with an artificial aggregation of
products in dingy hall in town
bags of sugar and rice, trays of
dry coffee beans, dull heaps of
canaigre root, tubs of plucked
sugar cane, rice and banana plants,
requiring constant watering to
preserve them from willing, be-
sides frequent renewal. There
might be something in an annual
or biennial industrial exhibition
at Kapiolani Park, well advertised
on the Coast, but it would have to
be on larger scale than the form
er ones, besides being supplement
ed with outside attractions
throughout the season.

AN Elk IIBITION?

At the risk of being stigmatized
as silurian or antediluvian, the
BULLETIN cannot see its way clear
to seconding the proposal for a
permanent exhibition of natural
products in the old legislative
hall or, for the present at least,
anywhere else. Experience has
proved that agricultural and in
dustrial exhibitions in Honolulu
excite but a languid popular in
terest. Those masters of local in
dustry who are best, able to con-
tribute to the success of such an
undertaking would mot be there
So many of our most interesting
products are of a perishable
nature that the exhibition would
soon degenerate into something
stale, flat and Improbable. I'm
connected with a show of live
stock the exhibition would rise
but slightly above the rank of a
combination fruit and feed store.
There is no appropriation availa-
bic for any help from the treasury,
and the scheme would cost
far more than its san
guine advocates imagine. 1t
would require constant per-
sonal dictatorship and attendance,
but who is there among the per-
manent officials of government
with both capacity and time for
these functions ? If a model
agricultural and horticultural
farm were within the national
means, a creditable permanent
exhibition connected Herewith
m :. hit be feasible. Otherwise the
notion is vague, inchoate and vi
sionary. We have a permanent
exhibition now easily available
for the benefit of visitors who
may be willing to invest in the
development of Hawaiian re-
sources. That is the whole island
of Oahu, which, with magnificent
natural scenery thrown in, may
in all its parts be inspected at
tritling expense Of travel from the
heart of Honolulu. This exhibit
ton presents all the leading soil
p'oduirs of the country, in the
full glory o. high ard extensive
cultivation, besides horse and cat

ODD SUGGESTION.

Advocating a permanent exhi.
bition of island products, to be
established in the old Legislative
hall, the Advertiser says "there
ought to be some provision made
for display of the natural fauna
of the country" According to
Hawaiian historians the natural
fauna of these islands, at the time
of Vancouver's visits, consisted of
dogs, hogs and domestic fowl. If
an exhibition of these creatures
is to be made, the old exhibition
buildings of the defunct Royal
Agricultural Society, at Kapio-
lani Park, should be repaired for
their reception. 1t would hardly
be appropriate to have live stock
show in the same building with
the higher courts, the educational,
land, tax and registry bureaus,
least of all the Board of Health,
with its inner doors opening di-
rectly into the proposed show
room with its necessary coops,
kennels and pens. Perhaps our
contemporary means the Judiciary
building yard for the live stock
exhibit, but the objections
thereto for such a purpose are
only less strong than to the in
terror of the building. The Ad-
vertiser follows its suggestion
quoted above with the observation ::
"Exotics are pushing their way in
with such rapidity that it will not
be many years before it will be
forgotten that Hawaii ever had
any Individuality" The griev-
ance expressed in this sudden
change of subject from the fauna
to the flora might perhaps be to
some extent redressed by a
method that could be illustrated
IN the proposed exhibition. The
natural fauna might be turned
loose two or three times a day to
browse upon the aggressive ex-
otics, but it should be understood
that this mode of feeding the
animals should have no political
significance. The querulous tone
of the Advertiser in referring to
the exotics sounds, even if family,
like an echo of the old National
party's cry of Hawaii for the
Hawaiians." Our morning con-
temporary ought to be more care
full of its words, especially while
the President is absent from the
capital.

Timely Topics
" YOUR HOUSE IS ON
FIRE"

This may be the warning
cry to you some night.
Whether it refers to your store,
factory, mill, office, or resi-
dence, itmeanS that all of your
valuable account books, secu-
rites, deeds, insurance policies,
notes, receipts, mortgages, etc,
will be destroyed if . not pro-
tected by a fire-proof safe.
Can you afford to run this
hazardous risk? The loss of
an insurance policy alone in
nine cases out of ten would
cause you endless trouble and
expense in going to law to Sc
cure a settlement, and then
your chances of coming to a
satisfactory adjustment with
the insurance company would
indeed be very slim. 1t is
duty that you owe to your
business, to your family and
to yourself to protect these
things against both fire and
thieves. That old tin box or
drawer in which you have
been in the habit of keeping
your papers, would be of no
service whatever in case of
fire.

you a life time, and it is the
best investment that any bust
ness man can make. You

GENTLEMEN:-I am pleased to say the
Vitor safe you sold me some five or six
years ago, preserved intact al of its con-
tents in the late fire in Greenville, on the
10th inst. The safe stood at a point in my
office in the Opera House Block, that must
have been one Of the hottest parts in the
great conhagration. 1t contained papers
and other things of value. When 1t was
taken out of the ruins and opened some
twelve hours after the fire. everything in it
was found to be safely preserved and in
good condition. / cheerfully make this
statement of facts in recognition of the
valuable service rendered me by your safe,
and you are at liberty to make such use Of
it as you may see proper.
Yours truly, THOS. J. JARVIS.

some BICYCLE TRICKS,
Riding Upon the Handle Bars, Mounting
Backward and Stopping.
Tricks Learned
Forth the Audie
Is n Trick

Since the skill of trained instructors has
made bicycling so easy that 1t can be
learned In a week, the athletic young per-
son has turned towards trick riding as a
variation from the commonplace straight
away.
There are half dozen tricks that can
be learned by any one familiar with the
wheel, and which are so beautiful and
graceful in their execution that they make
the rider source Of never-faiIing JOY to
his friends. Along the roadside you viii
see little groups of people. riders and
pedestrians. gathered in delighted amaze
while the trick" cycllst goes through with
his antics.
For the person who wants to learn trick
riding the cardinal principle is to get ac-
quainted with his wheel He should be
able to mount and dismount with as much
surety as he would step on and off a chair.
A slip or a fan should be impossible He
should be able to stop the wheel at any
turn of the pedals and dismount, and he
should feel while riding that nothing short
of a stroke of apoplexy could make him
lose his balance.
To obtain this perfection there is moth
ing necessary but practice. Step upon
the wheel every night and every morning
for a little ride. Soon you get on the
wheel mechanically, as you rise to walk,
without thinking Of it. You are now
wheeling expert. Next comes the trick
riding.
The easiest trick IS the one you should
take up at the beginning. 1t is riding
your wheel backward. Three attempts will
be enough to teach yon how to do it.
Have an assistant at hand to catch you If
you fall off on the first mount.
Stand with your back to the front wheel.
Put both hands behind you and grasp the
handle bars. Step upon the near pedal.
Throw your leg over the bar and catch
the off pedal. Ride
AS you work the pedals you will find
the machine moving swiftly backward.
A glance over your shoulder guides you.
Have a smooth path back OF you. The
art of balance will serve YOU well, for
you will not fall If once you get mounted.
You will find the only difference, so far
as you are concerned, is that you are
sitting with your face to the rear Of the
wheel and are "hind-side fore" upon the
bar betweent the saddle and handle-bars.
But the action is precisely similar to
straight-ahead riding. The handle-bars will
work just as well with your hands behind
you.
trick that looks very difficult. When rid
ing YOU sit with your right leg thrown
over the left side Of the handle-bars as
though over a side-saddle The machine
is operated by your left foot upon the
left pedal.
To mount. you throw your weight upon
the right arm on the right handle-bar
You step with your left foot upon the
left pedal. Instantly you throw your right
leg over the left handle-bar, and there
you are seated comfortably. You can
ride miles without a saddle II you please.
The handle-bars are worked with both
hands, one hand being under the leg.
When you see a cyclist coming toward
you riding in this way he will seem to
