An Effective Prayer.

story illustrating the ready humor of
the Cutting family concerns a certain Dea
Jonathan, son of Jonathan, uncle Of Jonas.
He once labored for a man whose love of
gain required his hands to DE up. eat
breakfast and be miles away to the woods
with an OK team before light, Wishing to
give his employer gentle hint that he was
asking too much of his workmen, he did
this wise: I'VE thank thee, o Lord, that
thou hast brought us in safety thus far
through the night; and If in thy providence
we are permitted to see the light of an
other Day, may We go forth to its duties
with a cheerful heart and in thy fear"
The next morning he was permitted to eat
his breakfast by daylight.

The one thing needful to make life perfect
ly happy In fiat has been invented by Thos
Austin of Brooklyn. 1t is a stove on wheels
The stove Is connected with the wall of the
apartment in which it Is placed by tele-
scopIng pipe 1t can be moved to any part
Of the room at will. and with very little
trouble. 1t stands on wheels, and for those
who wish to keep 1t within a strictly circum-
scribed area 1t can be fixed on rails running
in two directions.
One end Of the pipe Is firmly fixed to the
wall and the other to the stove. There Is no
danger of disconnection and consequent
asphyxiation The pipe may be made with
as may telescoping joints as are desired
and can be prolonged or turned in any direc-
ton.
Mr.. Austin was led to make the invention
by pressing need which was felt in his own
household.
On very cold evenings the heater Is drawn
out into the middle Of the room, so that
everybody can sit around it. When the
weather is milder 1t is pushed against the
wall out of the way Of the company. The
heat is not greater in one position than in
the other. but there is a considerable Diff
ference in the result.

Queen Threatened,

1.-THE queen Is acting under the sugges-
tons of the kahunas; a witch woman, Pull
Gle Of Lanai, has announced herself god

the deities. in case she fails to restore the
ancient privileges Of the sorcerers, even to
re-establshraent of the rites Of heathen-

A native addressing the mob urged the
people to seize and bury her, the kahunas
assisting. Whenever the Snake-life has op-

would avoid return to the anarchy and

OutgrOwth Of Savngery.


If we except the atroc!ous details of child
murder where native father has been
known to break his child's back for the
sake of annoying the mother. there is no
darker outgrowth of sayagery than the
anaana. This power Of praying any per-
son to death. even his chief or the king,
gives to the native kahuna or Sorcerer
influence far tranScending the force of
arms among all the tribes of Polynesia
The board Of health of Honolulu seldom
fails to make monthly report of ten or
more deaths of the ordinary natives from
the deadly prayers" Death IS almost GER
tain to follow the Vaccinations of kah
una, unless the Intervention Of a kahuna of
greater age can be secured. The victim
sts quietly before his antagonist, takes no
food and but little drink, and dies in few
days.
IAN the divinity that doth hedge a king
must prove Of small avail IL nail pairing,
hair. or a speck of the royal saliva fall
into the possession Of any sorcerer ready
for regfcide. The kahuna seems to defy
this material which he addresses as an
idol or fetch. praying 1t to destroy the life
of the victim.
In many instances" Mr. Bishop says
death is due to a superstitious belief in a
demon whom the native feels working in
his vitals. and whom it is hopeless to re-
sist."
A conspicuous triumph OF the sorcerers
occurs in the career of three members OF
Liliuokalani's immediate family, and finally
in her loss Of right to rule her little king
dom Of Hawaii. Letters from reliable
sources in 1893 represent the queen TO have
been long In kahuna tolls and vacillating
pitifully between good and evil counses.
Sacrifices were offered in the ancient way,
and by the kahunas in the palace premises

Ministers MAY Context.

1t was said at the city hall today that
the ministers, or some Of them. ct least
will test the validity Of the new law, con-
tending. 1T Is said. that Congress cannot re-
quire them, before performing marriages,
to obtain authority therefor from any
court. 1t will be observed. however. that
the law provides no penalty where a min
lister performs a marriage without having
first obtained authority from the court
and 1t is more than probable that those
ministers who object to such provision will
simply ignore it.

A CannibaI Plant.

One of the most curious enemies of British
fresh-water fishes is small floating water
reed-the bladder-wort. Along its branches
are number of small green vesicles or blad-
ders, which, being furnished with tiny jaws,
seize upon the little fish, which are assimi-
lated into it's substance. This is q subtle
poacher, the true character of which has
only lately been detected.
