The KeWaIO Bicycle Track

is at last IA reality and "not a
dream,' thanks to the energy
and enterprise of Mr.. Desky.
The track is fast approaching
completion, and all will want
to try issues on it. This is
sure to occasion a run on bicy-
cles, and in anticipation of
such a run we have quietly
laid in a good stock of TRI-
BUNE BICYCLES than
which there is none better in
the market. The TRIBUNE
is now recognized in the
United States as the BEST,
it is the favorite with all the
society people and business
men of San Francisco, and
our own American Minister
rides one. Recent adviccs
announce cut IN prices OF
lower grade wheels, but the
high grade wheels still sell
readily at the former list price.
We have made better arrange
ments with the manufacturers,
whereby we are enabled to
sell the Tribune Bicycles at
list price Sl00 and invite all
intending purchasers of wheels
to come and inspect our stock
before going elsewhere. We
have Ladies and Gentlemens'
Road Wheels, Racers and all
models manufactured by the
celebrated Black Manufac-
turing Go. We also carry the
" Columbus " Columbus
Juvenile " for boys and girls,
"B and II Special and
"Zimay," which are sold ex-
ceedingly cheap.

The Advertiser man has left
Washington recently, and he ought
to know what he is talking about.
He is mad, probably, because Serene
has made few dollars by writing
over the signature of King, whose
etc. he at one time used to kiss, and
consequently the barber" Of Kala-
kaua gives the bootblack OF Kane
hameha away. We are glad to see
the rogues falling out. 1t saves us
lots of writing. All we need to do
to show the true calibre of the lying
"Kamehameha" is to ask anyone
conversant with Hawaiian affairs to
read the following extract Of Serene
Kamehamehas letter, published in
the Washington Star on the 9th of
June:
The Roy "Independent, (which
is in thorough sympathy with the
Japanese Invasion because promis-
ing restoration Of the queen, says:
"Do not forget that the friendship
of Japan is of more value and import
ance to the United States than forty
Hawaiian Islands. Remember the
Corinto incident. In spite of the
Monroe doctrine and the lingo
howl, the United States allowed
Great Britain to collect moneys
claimed as damages due British sub
jeots from the rulers of Central Am
erica. The Dole government will
eventually pay the indemnity claim
ed by the Japanese"
It should here be said thu strong
as have been the feelings OF royalists
against the american usurpation"
of government, a majority of them
are wholly opposed to be overrun
and taken possession OF by the
Japanese. The present develop
ments are bringing to their compre-
hension the fact so plainly seen by
Americans here, that continued in
dependence ia a dream-that of
necessity this group must fall into
the possession of some strong power
These royalist natives are learning
that they have to choose, and that
speedily, whether to belong to
Christian or Asiatic civilization.
Most Hawaiians will not choose the
Asiatic. They would, indeed, of
their own accord have cordially ac-
cepted the American rule, had not
such an outcry been made by anti
American Britishers.

1t is a pleasure to every intelli-
gent Hawaiian to see the Advertiser
man tumbling over his editorial feet
and telling the world thai the
writer over the signature OF "Ka-
mehameha," whose letters to the

tain notoriety, is malicious falsifer.

THE INDEPENDENT is glad to learn
from its ever welcome Friend in re-
gard to the newly arrived German
serfs from the sugar plantations
that:
"Our excellent English schools will
readily convert the children into
good Americans, as they do in the
United States. Their parents wiH
find an ease and comfort Of life here
superior not only to that Of their oVn
country, but to that Of any other labor
ing class IN the world."
This is devoutly to be wished, but
not to be believed in by those who
know the home lives Of these labor
ers and those to which they are de-
stined and doomed.

The Bulletin credits United
States Minister Sewall as having
made use of the following langu-
age:
"Let me have any Senator or Con-
gresham in Honolulu for just six
hours and | will make an annexation
ist Of him."
The people are naturally asking
whether the Minister Of Foreign
Affairs will take official notice Of
such breach Of diplomatic princi-
Piles, and whether Mr.. Sewall is
merely an Annexation Agent and not
the impartial Representative OF the
United States. The true friends of
Hawaii in Washington will seek an
explanation Of the Minister'S con-
duct in this regard.

If you are not digger Indians"
in the eyes of all good Americans
there is nevertheless evidently some-
thing wrong with you somewhere.
Richard Harding Davis in his ac-
count of the Inauguration Of Presi-
dent Mckinley, in Harper's Maga-
zine speaks OF Queen Liliuokalani,
as follows: "Back of her." (the wife
of the Chinese Minister) "accom-
panied by her secretary, was the
exiled Queen Of Hawaii, handsome
dark skinned negress, quietly but
richly dressed and carrying herself
with great dignity" Taking the
term "negress," in connection with
the letter OF Bishop Turner, which
we published yesterday, we may say
without fear OF contradiction, that
the terms applied to the Queen
should lead Hawaians to do some
thinking about their status in the
remote contingency of annexation.

The Peacock nt Home.

The real home of the peacock or pea fowl is in India. There they Neaa and are hunted, and their flesh is used for food. As the birds live in the same re- zion as the tiger, peacock hunting is a very dangerous sport. The long traia of the peacock is not it's tail, as many sup pose, but is composed of feathers which grow out just above the tail and arc called the tail coyefts peacoeks have been known for many hundred years. They are mentioned ill the Bible Job mentions them, and they are mentioned. too, in I Kings X Hundreds Of years ago in Rome many thousand peacoelzs were killed for the great feasts which the emperors made. The brains of the peacock were considered a great treat, and many had to be killed for singla feast. St. Nicholas.

The snow Goddess.

The snow Ives ran away last night
 And hni jed through the sky, And on the earth, come mornings lighk All still and white they lie. My Julia rises with the dawn
 And peeps the curtains through. The world s the bosom Of a swan
 Against lake of blue.
 All wrapped in furs and, oh. so fair.
 Her red cheeks all aglow.
 A winter queen. I see her therel
 The goddess Of the snowi
 And as the elf fakes hurry by
 They kiss her lips so rare, And brush the lashes Of her eys
 And nestle il her hair.
 eae, now she fits across the Heldsl
 Tas feather eier so Iightf Scarce to her touch the soft snow yieida Her shoe Is such migel
 And where her foot has left trace
 Upon the downy plain
 A single snowflake falls apaee
 And fills it up again.

NOTHING we can think of at the present time better illustrates the political cowardice of the average Congressman in either House than the vote on the proposition to levy an additional tax on beer. The members were all agreed that this was a pure,y revenue tax that would be better distributed and less felt than any way suggest ted, and every indication pointed to it's adop- tion without opposition, when a Western Senator warned all con cerned that any party voting to tax beer would lose the great German vote. Then there was oppressive silence for seven minutes and the measure was rejected without dis sent. Knowing the measure to be a good one, not a member having a dozeu German constituents would dare do his duty for fear of losing the German vote.

 There was one window l looked ont of the window, and t seemed to be at least GO feet down to the ground It was a wooden building, and an old one, understand? While 1 was looking out of the window freight train went by, and the engine threw ont million sparks.

SERPENT POISON.
The Venom of the Cobra Is Deadly AL
 most Beyond Reliee.


 It was in the autumn Of 1891 that Calmette, while acting as director Of the BaoteriologicaI institute of Saigon, Cochin China, first commenced his ex- pefiments on the naturalization of ser pent venom in the animal system. He had exceptional opportunities in the matter Of serpent venom wherewith to carry out his investigations, inasmuch as band of cobras had recently attacked village in the vicinity of Bac-Lieu, and by order Of the governor of the dis triet no fewer than 90 specimens of the terrible Naja tripndians, or cobra de Ca pello, were forwarded in barrel to the institute
 Forty of these reptiles arrived alive, and several were at once sacrificed to secure their venom glands Each gland, resembling both in size and shape 3 shelled alnolld, contains about 90 drops of venom. and i'll this transparent limp i'd liquid is em bodied a toxine of exhaors dinary strength. As is we'll known. this cobra is the most dreaded of all seIpents. and 1t is widely distributed over India, Burma Sumatra, Java, Malacca aud Cochin China. Until Gaimefte, however, set to work to systematically study the nature of this reptiles venom, but little precise or reliable information had been obtained as to it's character It Was, of course, necessary in the first instance to ascertain, within as narrow a limit as possible, the exact degree of toxic power inherent in the venom, and to deter. mine, if possible. the precise dose lethsl ill respect of each variety of animal ex perimented upon
 4 correct calculation of the quantity of venom required in every case was, however. found to be quite impossible, for so virulent is the poison that sin- gle drop of an emulsion produced by pounding up 3 glands in 800 grams of distilled water is sufficient, when in tredaeed into the vein of rabbit's ear, to kill it in i've minutes. All the nam mals to which Calmette administered this cobra venom. such as monkeys, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, sue cumbed more CT iess quickly, according to the size Of the dose -Longman 'a Magazine.
