fore intelligence Of the coup detat could
reach America. Moreover, the natives.
though dying out, are still largely in
the majority, and are constant men
ace. One deplorable effect Of the mon
archy's SCATTERING is found In the fact
that the Kanakas and missionaries are
no longer on good terms. The natives
have developed sullen disposition, and
want nothing to do with the white
priests.
Lately Japan has been charged with
attempts to obtain control of the isl
ands. Though this has been denied,
President Dole has endeavored as far
as possible to restrict japanese immi-
grafton. He Is not able to prohibit it
absolutely, owing to the treaty which
contains the "most favored nation"
clause. 1t is computed that the Japan
csc now number nearly third Of the
population and they are insisting upon
the suffrage. Hawaiian planters In
sympathy with the government are
making contracts for labor with the
Portuguese, but the inflowing tide from
the Orient does not seem to have de-
creased appreciably. The standing ar
my Of the Dole government numbers
1000 men.
The public school system Of the ISL
ands makes attendance compulsory be-
tween the ages Of 9 and 10 years, and is
well managed. The school population
numbers about $4,000. There are 400
teachers, and the system costs 5000 a
head. In addition there are numerous
male and female boarding schools as
well as Protestant and Roman Catholic
establishments. In the public schools
religious instruction is sternly prohibit
ed. There is much tourist travel, which
is increasing each year.
The Hawaiian language has been re-
duced to writing, and grammar and
lexicon have been prepared, but it is
rapidly disappearing. In the schools
English is taught exclusively and in a
few years the tongue Of the Kanakas
will be only memory. 1t Is limited,
Of course, but very beautiful when
spoken. The people run too much to
poetry and very little to hard facts.

Not the Little Insect, but . Weather
vane 60 Aid In steering.
There Is much curious sea lore In an
article by Gustav Kobbe ON Steering
Without Compass" In st. Nicholas.
Mr.. Kobbe says:
The Fly" ut the masthead IL often
used as a sign to steer by. 1t revolves
on a pivot, and hence, like a weather
vane. shows the direction from which
the wind Is blowing; whereas dag at
tached to halyard streams directly
astern. or at an angle more or less af-
fected by the speed and course Of the
shown the winds direction, a glance at
the pinnacle shows from what point Of
the compass 1t comes. Then, by watch
Ing The fly, and thus keeping the ship
always at the same angle to the wind,
you are able to keep her ON her course.
The ships of different nations have
distinctive flies. The American and the
English fly is little triangular pen
non. German ships often have a small
tapering bag at the masthead, and
French vessels dog vane"-a line Of
.orks with colored feathers on wire
The steamers of the French Line from
New York to Havre have a dOg-vane at
each masthead--it Is one Of their dis
tinguishing marks.
Steering by the fly Is one way OF
steering by the wind, but there are
other tricks for finding the wind-point.
A sailor can find the point Of stiff
breeze by simply letting 1t blow
against his face. In a light air, al
most n calm, he lifts his cap and turns
his head until he feels the cool breath
on his moist brow, which Is far more
sensitive than his sun-tanned face; or
he moistens the edge Of Ids hand, and
turning 1t toward the. wind, waves II
gently back and forth and to and fro
until the GOODNESS of the air Is felt on
| one side Of that narrow surface and
| not on the other. In heavier airs he
will moisten the palm Of the hand and
hold 1t tat to the wind. The wind
poin. being found, the ship is sailed as
close to the wind as possible, the
helmsman keeping his eye ON the sail
leech. The last CULVER, and turn OF
the wheel keeps her off enough to i'll
her sails; but with an experienced hand
| on the wheel there will be no quivel
along the leech. For an "A. b." car
tell by the "feel" Of the helm when the
ship Is about to come up into the
wind; as n vessel comes up" the strain
on the r,idder is lessened, and by quick
ly checking her he keeps the sails "raI
full and asleep"-keeps them from
quivering-and holds her ON her course
without so much as glance at the
compass.

South Sea Relics.

There were sold this week ut auc-
ton in London for a trivial sum mass
Of books, pamphlets, autograph letters,
etc., said to be the most extensive col
lection of its kind in existence, refer
ring to the days Of the South Sea
bubble and its many mad schemes for
returning 1000 per cent to infatuated
investors. These are autograph let
tiers from all the prominent politicians
and SPECTATORS, members of both
houses of parliament, including the
cabinet, and a satirical poem by
Defoe, In his own handwriting, en-
titled, "The Golden Age Returned"
It was an elaborate project, that of
the South Sea Co., and one Of its ex-
traordinary sources Of anticipated
revenue may give a hint to bogus
prospectus preparers. The pamphlet
mentions the names Of Captains
Avery, Read, and Tongs, notorious
pirates Of the period, who, with their
crews. aggregating 1900 men, were
DESTROYS Of their royal pardon, and
prepared to pay hard cash for such
mercy. Each sailor was to plump
down S25. 900 and each captain an
amount equal to the whole total of his
crew. The total from this very praise
worthy source of revenue was estimat-
ed at $1O1 100000.
The importation Of Jackasses to be
trained as servants, the extraction Of
gold from the waters Of the ocean, and
scores Of other effulgences Of money
mania are recorded in these age-rusted,
odd-typed pamphlets Of more than a
century ago. The craze extended to
Paris. and a hunchback made hand
some fortune as a walking writing
desk, upon which the eager spectators
scrawled their bills and acceptances
In the streets. 1t Is pitiful record
of a mad time, not without its lesson

Attorney General. Dole's term expires
In 1900. He was elected under the new
constitution by the legislative power
which Is composed Of a senate and
house of representatives. There is also
a estate council composed of fifteen
men, FIVE of whom are elected by the
senate, five by the house and five by
citizens. Dole's salary is $4,000 year.
These men governed the Hawaiian
Islands from the time Of the revolu-
ton, and they have continued to gov
ern them. They are among the most
active advocates of annexation.
On Jan. 6. 1896, the natives revolted.
and an attempt was made to restore
the Queen to her throne. The conflict
was short, but bloody. Twelve of the
insurrectionists were killed and 500
taken prisoners in the initial engage
ment. On Jan. 8, in the Manoa valley,

UNDER CARS IN A HAMMOCK.
Queer Device Constructed by a Michi-
gan Hobo.

Queer Device Constructed by Michi-
gan Hobo.
A queer character, Jack the ham,
mock rider who lives by his WITS" is
attracting the attention Of people
throughout the State of Michigan.
Jacks" hammock Is Of his own con-
struction and bears the mark Of con-
siderable ingenuity. 1t is designed to
,fasten under a sleeping car to aid
lack" in beating" the railroad. The
hammock is made Of heavy canvas,
quilted on the inside and fastened to q
stout stick at each end. Two large Iron
hooks project from the wooden rods
and by these he attaches his novel rest
ing place to the two iron bars which
run the length of each side Of the car.
A cover is sewed to one side and al
most covers the ends, the sewed edge
being placed toward the engine, so that
the wind pressure will keep out the
dust as the car speeds along.
But the interest in "Jack" Is not only
due to his peculiar mode Of travel, but
also to the fact that his life Ill fits a
man Of his characteristics. During the
recent campaign he attracted consid-
cradle attention as a stump speaker,
and by his ready wit he has gained a
friend in almost every town he has Wis
tied. Added to his natural propensi-
ties for entertaining is his wide expe-
rience and no inconsiderable educa-
ton, which readily command the atten-
ton Of any who chance to speak to
him. Neither working nor begging, he
procures his meals and shelter by dint
Of clever invention and repartee. He
has taste for music, and, curious as 1t
may seem, is fond Of playing hymns on
the piano, during which performance

One ON the Doctor.

A well-known known physician tells
a good story ON himself. He had just
arrived I'm town, and not feeling well
had left his grip at the hotel and started
out for stroll about nine o'clock,
wearing his travelling cap, and with
his coat we'll buttoned up. In the
shadow stood a ragged man.

Strange" replied the doctor, clap
ping him ON the shoulder. I haven't
had a morsel either. and do not know
where I will get my supper"
The tone Of his voice had such a
pathetic ring that the ragged man was
touched.
"Cheer up, old fellow" he said; "stick
to me and 1 will attend to it that you
get a good square meal"
The physician was now touched, and
invited his new-made friend into the
best restaurant I'M town where the two
sat down together and ate a fine
supper.

what We Should Drink.

We should drink from one-third to
two-fifths as many ounces as we weigh
in pounds. says Professor Allen in the
Journal of Hygiene. Therefore, for
man weighing 16S pounds would be re-
quired from fifty-six to sixty-four
ounces daily, or from one and one-half
TO four pints. This we regard as very
indefinite answer. The amount Of
water required depends on the season
OF the year, the amount Of work done,
and the kind Of food eaten In hot
weather we require more than in cold,
because of the greater loss through the
skin, though this Is in part made up by
the lesser amount passed away through
the kidneys. If man labors very hard
he requires more than II his labor Is
light; a man working in a foundry
where the temperature Is high and the
Precipitation profuse not infrequently
drinks three or four gallons daily.
II the food is stimulating and salty,
more water is required than II 1t Is not.
vegetarians and those who use much
fruit require less water than those who
eat salted fish and pork, and often get
along with none except what is in their
food.
In most cases our instincts tell us
how much water to drink far better
than any hard or fixed rule. For ages
they have been acquiring a knowledge
of how much to drink and transmitting
that knowledge to descendants, and II
xx,o follow them we shall not 90 far ON
of the way. 1t is Of more use to us to
know that pure water is essential and
that impure water is one of the most
dangerous of drinks, than to know how
much of 1t is required daily.
II one lives In region where the
water is bad, 1t should be boiled and
put away in bottles, well corked, in ar
ice-chest, and, in addition, one should
eat all the fruit he can, II fruit agrees
Fruits contain not only pure water
but salts which are needed to carrying
on BEAUTIFULLY the functions Of life.

government practically to confiscate
any journal which offends. There has
