HaMnils stnndlng Army.

The standing army of Hawaii in
time of peace consists Of seventy men.
When the dogs of war are let loose, it
is swelled as high as two hundred men
sometimes. The Hawaiian army rarely
Stands" however. 1t prefers to sit.
down when it is not on the dead run
for cover. Every man in the army has
a different kind of uniform. The
equipment consists of almost every
sort of noise producer, from bulldog
revolvers to the matchbox that Capt.
Miles Standish used to kill Indians
with. If the rank and file take no.
ton" to obey the order of their supe-
rior officers, well and good, If they
choose not to obey, also well and good.
It's all the same to the officers, and
more SO to the rank and file.

FROZEN FISH.
They Come to LIs,s AFTER q Long Kmpris-
onllssnt in Ice.


At the wateFwOrks pumphouse in
Richmond, Ind, there stands a large
fountain, with d, basiu which measures
about ten feet across, and of that
fountain a correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Bulletin tells the following
story:
Last fall three bass were put in the
basin, each weighing perhaps one and.
a half pounds. 1t was not supposed
that the water in the basin would
freeze, bat one very cold night it did,
and the three bass were imprisoned
beneath a thick layer of ice.
The cold weather kept up and the
water froze deeper and deeper until
the whole mass of water finally became
a solid and frigid mass, and the fish
were inclosed in transparent tomb.
The flowing water from the fountain
kept freezing until a gigantic pyramid
had been formed twelve feet in height.
The bass were plainly visible, and the
remarkable manner in which they had
been caught attracted much attention.
Recently during a rain the ice melted
and the fish, which were encased for
ovem three months, were left to drift
on the water The engineer was about
to throw them away FOR dead when he
noticed that one of the fish wiggled
fin, and to his surprise found that it
was still alive. All three of the fish
returned to life after a few hours
basl1ing in the sunshine, and they are
now swimming around in lively man
ner with no visible evidence of their
long sleep in frozen mass of ice.

$4,000 FOR A POEM.
New York Paper to Pay for Prema-
ture Publication.

The New York World must pay SIS 900
To MisS Harriet Monroe, who wrote the ode
for the opening of the Columbian Worlds
Exposition at Chicago in October, 1892,
for having prcmaturcly published the poem
in violation of her common law rights in
the manuscript.
When the World obtained possession Of
an advance copy OF the ode. the fact came
10 the knowledge of Miss Monroe md
she tclegraphrd the paper warning not
10 publish The editor responded I'VE
will take our chances and the publication
was made.
Suit was brought by Miss Monroe to
recover damages. Defense was made
that the copyright law of the United States
had superseded the common law on the
subject, and that under it no punitive dam
ages could be collected. The circuit
court of the United States for the Southern
district of New York held otherwise, and a
verdict in favor of Miss Monroe, ror
$1,000 was returned.
The case went to the circuit court OF
appeals, when the judgment below was
affirmed. Then the World endeavored TO
bring the case to the Supreme Court of
the United States. on the ground that
questions arising under the constitution
of the United States were involved.
But, said Mr.. Justice Gray announcing
the opinion of the court, it has been held
in many cases that that point must he
raised by the plaintiff and not the de-
fendant The decree of the court of ap-
pcals was final, and the writ of error must
