n BUTTERFLY,


His Ugly Outer Shell.
Last summer | noticed u milkweed

floor. evidently in search Of his final
shelter. We secured him temporarily
under a tumbler, but there. to our sur
prise, he proceeded to spin his little
web and hang himself head downward
from the bottom of the covering glass
i'll such wise that in the course of two
days we saw the whole process Of change.
even to the splitting Of the caterpillar
skin and the final wriegle from it that
changed him into the most exquisite
transparent, nile green chrysalis, but
toned with gold. Toward the end of two
weeks this began to grow Opaque, and
gradually We saw from under it the

dominal rings in perfect coloring of

more tangible aerial creature, though
not able to float off at once, as perhaps
even cherubim do not. No; his wings
were only us big as dime pieces. And
still the wonder grew rs we watched
them grow and unfold under our eyes
in breathless amazement, and Il at

such Il definite change from death into
life. 1t was not so difficult then to i'm

The little creature, after expanding

Louis Napoleon's Plot,

Sir William Fraser states, in a volume
Of "reminiscences which has just been
published. that Napoleon III, while in
exile at Chiselhurst, matured IA plan to
restore himself to the throne. A private
yacht, Of which the late Mr.. James As
bury was owner, had been actually
chartered for the purpose of landing the
former emperor on the French coast,
whence he was to repair in disguise to
Cbalons, where an army corps was en-
gagged in maneuvers, there throw off his
incognito and lead the troops into Paris.

Origin of Two Tavern Terms.

The term "entirc,' so often seen over
inns and taverns tand not always under
stood by the passersby). is said to have
first been used abuut 1722. Prior to that
date the matt liquors i'll general use
were ale, beer and "twopenny." 1t was
usual for tavern customers to call for a
pint Or tankard of half and half-that
is, half ale and half beer, half ale and
half twopenny. on half beer and half
twopenny. IN coarse Of .:..J it became
customary TO call for Il tanliard of
three threads, meaning y third of ale,
beer and twUpenny. To save publicans
the trouble and waste of turning three
taps for one pint of liquor Il brewer
named Harwoud conceived the idea of
making Il beverage which should unite
the ilayors Of all three drinks. He call
ed his production "cntire.' or entire
butt beer As il was considered suit

The Roman pen, or stylus, was an
iron implement, sharp at one end like
an awl and fiat at the other like q paper
cutter. 1t was used for writing OH tab

The sharp end was employed for writing
and the flat for erasing or correcting

The holiday season has been
one of exceptional and unex-
pected prosperity to us. For
weeks past we have been calling
attention to fancy goods as well
as those of an ornamental char
acter. We might have advertised
strictly useful articles, but peo-
pie as a rule, draw the line at
cumbersome presents placed in
the hosiery hung besides the
hearth. A Jewell stove, for in
stance, would be injurious to the
average Honolulu stocking, but
it would have been most accept
able in the homes of great
many people here.
We have just received a very
large invoice of these stoves in
all sizes, from the smallest to
the largest made at the factory.
Our prices for these stoves are
so reasonable that one OF them
should be in every home in
Honolulu.
Our method Of selling to isl
and customers is an innovation
to the people of the islands; the
price of the stove in our store
is the same at any shipping port
in the islands-we pay the
freight from Honolulu.

35 cents up and will be found
useful to ladies OH a shopping
tour. This is only q pointer; we
sell them, you know but we also
sell groceries of every descrip-
ton.
Just now we are having a run
on timed goods and evaporated
peaches, plums and apricots.
This is the best lot we have ever
handled and they are selling so
rapidly that we are afraid the
stock will not hold out. 1t is
almost the same with eat
ing chocolates. People have
caught on to the fact that they
are good and they want them.

The ignorance Of American jingoes
and Others OF their stripe is always
well illustrated whe the Turkish
question is concerned. One Of our
local journals went into extacy a
while ago because some idiot of an
admiral had threatened to force the
Dardanelles and lombard Constan-
tinople, with one mau.of- war,) The
forts on both sides of the Oar
dauelles are, according TO latest ad-
vices armed with l15 caupons mostly
Krupps. To run the gauntlet be-
tween such an array would tax the
combined fleets of the world. That
the Turks are good artillerists was
show at Plevna. The Turkish army
to day numbers 100000 men
ready to mobilize at moments
notice. A call ii. 9. de-
mand) for voluntary subscriptions
has been made by the Turkish
Government to create a war fund
aud all musselmeu are responding.
Under such circumstances is it a
wonder that the great powers of
Europe hesitate in interfering in the
Armenian trouble to save the lives
of handful of miserable rebels,
against a lawful government, who
would be left in peace if they kept
quiet and conformed to the laws and
religion OF their country. 1t will be
amusing to see Mckinley try to "6x"
the Turk, when he takes the reins OF
the U. S. Government.
