Der of deaf mutes were present. Refresh
ments We're served during the evening,
and in handing a cup of coffee to one of
the guests a deaf mute gentleman happen
ed to spill a few drops on his wife's skirt.
The wife is also a deaf mute, and it was
evident she took the mishap in a rather
irritable way. She wrinkled up her fore
head and at once made a series of remark
ably swift movements with her nimble fin

A Quick-vvitted Waitress.

A specimen of clever wit was given by a
waitress in a Winter street restaurant the
other day, says the Boston Herald.
A middle-aged woman entered the place
and, taking a seat at the counter, carefully
scrutinized the bill of fare. She concluded
to try an order of ice cream pudding at
five cents plate. After it had been served
she looked it over carefully, and, calling
the waitress back said:
DO you call this ice cream pudding?'
"Yessum, and it's very nice, too"
but where is the ice cream?"
"Oh, that's only the name given that pc
culiar make of pudding We are making a
drive on il. I'm sure YOU viii like if when
you taste it,
1T seems to me that you ought to give
ice cream with it as long as you call it ice
cream pudding"
I'VE don't give cottages with cottage
pudding" quickly replied the witty wait
ress which threw the midde-aged woman
into CONFUSION of laughter, and she or
dered a second plate.

The more the Hawaiian annexation ques-
ton is studied, the less of public opinion
there is in favor of it. Several members
of congress-Senators Pettigrew and Can
non among them-who formerly favored
the scheme, are now opposed to it, for the
reason that they have informed themselves
with regard to the subject. If the matter
were to be discussed in the next campaign
and a vote taken upon it. there is little
doubt that the proposition to annex would
be overwhelmingly defeated.

ARniIwny Pooling LnM.
From the Baltimore Sun Dem)

A disposition has been manifested by
some of the politicians in both branches
of congress, who are not populists. to op-
pose legislation that would authorize the
railroads to establish rates. These gem
tlemen are acting simply with a view to
making party capital. Whatever the de
lnquencies of the railroads may have been.
they are entitled to fair considerat ion
especially in view of the fact that a meas
ure which viii afford them relief will oper-
ate to the benefit of shippers and consum-
ers. The necessary safeguards can be
provided by congress so that the railroads
may be held to a strict responsibility and
the rights of shippers be protected. TO
deny the railroads legislation which is
needed in the public interest would be a
short-sighted policy.

A striking instance of the influence of
mind over matter was presented at Wa
terbury, Conn, the other day. A young
man named Hansel was dying of typhoid
fever. The physicians declared him to be
passing away. He was in a semi-coma-
tose state. A telegram was received say
ing that he had fallen heir to a fortune.
1t was read to him, and his mind was able

The sensation mongers will probably not
be able to stir up a quarrel between the
United States and Germany, on account of
little Hayd. Each of the great nations
has too much at stake to think of fighting
the other, without the best of reasons; and
such reasons are not now apparent or even
suggested. The jingoes of each country
may do a lot of blowing, but there are no
prospects of fight.

The pensioners of the United States
certainly are pretty well spread over
the world. An exchange gives some
very interesting statistics. There are
in all sixty countries. outside the
United States, where the pensioners
reside; there are 3,7S1 of them, and
they receive $5S2, 1888 yearly. The
postage on this amount is an addi
tional item of cost. This can be seen
from the fact that to Germany each
voucher and instructions costs Is cents
and it costs 20 cents to complete the
payment A point of interest locally
is that the head of the Bureau does
not like the payment by voucher sys-
tenn instead of payment in person. He
says it requires just three times the
work. Seeing this system has been
adopted here, the Government should
have provided extra clerks for their
bureaux, and it is to be hoped that
they will. The necessity for assistance
to some of the departments is patent.

JANUARY 20, 1897.

In our advertisement last
week we announced that we
would mention the new coffee
machinery which arrived by
the "W. II. Dimond."
We have been negotiating
for the Guatemala" Coffee
Pulper for some time, it being
recommended to us as especi-
ally adaptable for the coffee
growers of these islands.
The Imp owed Guatemala
Cylinder Coffee Pulper is con
ceded to be the most perfect
machine yet devised for the
purpose. Experience and the
brilliant results which have
been uniformly obtained with
this machine, amply confirm
all that has been claimed for
it. To those who inspect this
machine we wish to particu-
larry call attention to the feed
roll, which is a recent addi-
ton. The new adjustable
gates in the breast plate enable
it to pulp any size of coffee
WITHOUT BREAKING THE BEAN.
The arrangement of the hop
per prevents pebbles and other
foreign substances, which are
sometimes found in coffee,
from reaching the cylinder.
The approximate capacity of
ripe coffee in the cherry per
twelve hours is 5000 pounds.
Weight of machine for ship
ping, 400 pounds. Height, 33
inches. The diameter of the
fy.wheel, % inches, gives a
rapid, and, at the same time, a
steady motion.
The simplicity Of the con
struction recommends it to all.
With each pulper is furnished
an extra copper drum and
extra gates for the breast
plate, without additional cost.

THE HAWAIIAN.

To illustrate the Hawaiian as he is
in the social scale is difficult to do for
people abroad. The Hawaiian is
peculiarly orderly citizen. Crimes of
violence which stain the records of the
Southern States are unknown here.
The citizens of the Hawaiian Islands
have no need to resort to lynchings
and burnings in order to regulate the
affairs of the state. Except in some
political struggle the Hawaiian has
ever been on the side of law and order.
But even in his political energy he has
always behaved as a man should, and
has never committed any crime against
the person. This, to the mind of The
Star, weighs very heavily in favor of
Paris under the Commune, or any mob
in London during the Lord George
Gordon riots behave as well as the Ha-
waiians mobs that have at times as
sembled. The answer must be emphat-
ically-No!
Ladies can walk alone through the
streets at any hour of the day or
night without the slightest fear of in
suit. If by chance any insult were
offered it would come from some for
eigner and not from an Hawaiian.
Nay more, on the island of Hawaii, in
it's widest and most distant parts,
where the presence of a white man is
rare, the writer has known ladies to
ride unattended and to receive perfect
courtesy.
This attribute is peculiarly pleas
ing one in an Hawaiian and macs him
peculiarly adaptable and satisfactory
as citizen. When people rail against
the annexation of these Islands by
stating that the Hawaiian is not fit for
citizenship they do not know what
they are talking about. The Hawaiian
makes a good citizen.
The political methods of the Kala-
kaua family may be reprehended, in
deed they ended in their own down
fall, but the corrupting political intiu-
ence of a court and it's parasites by no
means represents the nation at large.
In talking of the Hawaiian as in
dicated above one is reminded of Tom
Moore's poem, entitled Rich and Rare
We're the Gems She Wore" A knight
meets a lady of great beauty and
splendidly dressed, walking along a
lonely road. He asked her if she was
not afraid to walk along so desolate a
path unattended, to which she replies:
''Sir Knight l feel not the least alarm,
No son of Erin will offer me harm"
And for "no son of Erin" the words
mo true Hawaiian" might be justly
substituted.
