Like the buffalo, the Indian Ian
guage will soon be lost forever" ex-
plailed a gentleman who, under the
auspices Of the Smithsonian, has de-
voted a number Of years to the study
and preservation Of the Indian Ian
guage. SIT was thought that the In
dian language could be preserved by
the aid Of the photograph and graph
ophone, and parties were sent out to
many Indian tribes to have them talk
into the apparatus and thus secure a
record Of the Indian tongue. 1t was
found, however, that but few Indians
of the present day, and they were the
older ones, could talk q pure tongue.
More than one-half Of the Indians now
on the reservations, and this is the
case with all the younger Indians,
converse in English. 1t is not good
English, but it is the kind they speak,
a kind of pigeon English. I had the
work Of securing some Cherokee talk,
and in doing so talked with q dozen
or more leading Cherokees. They
admitted to me that they did not know
one Cherokee who could speak pure
Cherokee. They said it was with the
greatest difficulty that they could get
the boys and girls to speak in their
native tongue at all, or to learn even
the commonest words or phrases" -

Drink and Insanity.

The more recent and careful investiga'
ton Of the relation of drink to insanity
tends to confirm the belief that by far tine
largest percentage Of the insane are SO
through drink. A most valuable eontripu-
ton to this study has inst been supplied ny
Professor J. Holt Schooling, Fellow Of the
ROYAL Statistical Society OF Great Britain.
He has just completed a very interestIhg
investigation by which he has been enapiel
to show some curious facts relative 10 tue
insanity of the British people. He tells Us
how many persons go mad and why they
do SO. He declares that n person IN
every 306 OF the population of Britain Is u
maniac, and that that ratio promises To III
crease.
, Entering into the causes as to why men
go mad, Professor Schooling" says me
New York Herald, to which we are indeDt-
ed for this item, ''strikes u mighty blow tof
the cause of temperance when he makes
the statement, solely inspired by his lnves-
legations and the accurate results thereof
that drink. liquor, sends mad nearly one
third OF all the persons who become insane
in Great Britain from the eight leaulhS
causes OF insanity in that territory.

In addition to fresh American meats
and fresh American fruits the people
of London now have the advantage of
getting American game and poultry
sent W in q frozen state and sold in
the markets OF from twelve to eighteen
cents per pound. This industry,
which was only started q few months
ago, has proven wonderfully success
full, and the birds are said to be re-
ceived in fine condition. So popular
has American poultry proved that q
similar industry with Australian fowl
has been greatly affected, the rate in
transit from this country being SO
much less. The Londoners are said
to be very fond of q certain class Of
American game, which they are now
enjoying at home for the first time.

known to English palates, might be

Is There Any "Best'' Time For siccping7
Does the time at which Che sleep is
obtained, provided it is sufficient in
amount, make any change in the re-
suit? In brief, is there any truth in
the old adage that an hour before mid
night is worth two hours after mid
night? / had an opportunity to make
some study of this subject in my naval
service during the late war. On ship
board, as is undoubtedly known to
most Of you, the ships company-ofi-
GERS and men alike-stand four-hour
watches day and night, and to get tho
required amount of rest are obliged to
get their sleep irregularly; to SO ar
range it that the same man shall be
obliged to take early or late watches
continually, the "dog watch" of two
hours is interpolated, thus adding to
the irregularity. In watching the re-
suits for we two years / could never
discover that the watch officers and
the men were not as fully refreshed by
their sleep as were the medical and
pay officers, who stand no watch, and
have hours as regular as those of any
householder DIR. E. P. Colby, in the

a weaver named Robert ~Pendlebury, OF
ChJrley, died on Saturday night. On the
previous afternoon a cart belonging to
Messrs. Walmsley and Charnley, spirit
merchants, Preston, was passing along
Railway street, when a bottle containing
six gallons Of whisky fell to the ground
and broke, the contents running into the
channel. A number of men quickly
damned up the channel and began to
scoop the liquor with anything available,
and to drinkit neat. Pendlebury, who was
thirty-slx years of age, got the lid OF a pint
can and drank from it nearly thirty times,
becoming helpless and speechless. He was
conveyed home in a wheelbarrow. His
tongue became perfectly black, and al
though DR.. Rigby attended him, and emct-
les were administered, he never recovered
consciousness.
The poor wretch had no wish to kill him
self. He had been trained by the liquor
traffic to believe whisky to be a good erea-
ture OF God, and he thought it a shame
that any of it should run to waste. Saving
it in his stomach cost him his life. And
this is the sort OF Creature that the law
authorizes its makers to sell.-Alliance

A young gentleman who had not been out
In the world a great deal, and had never
attended a banquet, was invited with his
father to attend a very fashionable one in a
certain city. Many kinds OF wines and
liquors were served. Seated at the table
by the side of his father, the waiter ap-
preached the young man with liquors and
wines and asked him what he would have.
Somewhat embarrassed, and not knowing
what to say, he thought a while, looked
around, and Mt last said to the waiter:
"I,l take what father does" The waiter
passed on to the father. What should he
do? What should he take? Aroused fully

'Intemperance," says DIR. Max Nordau,
sis the great disease OF Paris" This state
ment may be placed beside the declarations
Of some American travellers that Parisians
are II temperate people with all their wine
drinking. Nordau has practiced In the
hospitals of Paris and knows well what he
says. One may not see any drunkenness
onthe ~boulevards, nor in the Tuileries and
the Bots, but the roofs of Belleville cover
the most tragic scenes of suffering and sor-
row due to the Intoxicating cup. One OF
the most popular drinks In Paris is the
deadly absinthe. Body and mind are said
to crumble together under the influence OF
this terrible liquor. As a rule, Parisians
may not drink to bestial excess, but they
drink very, very often. The average work
MAJ is constantly under the stimulus Of
alcohol.

rested by Captain Parker yesterday
afternoon and taken to the yard oppo-
site the Police Station. 1t seems that
the Chinaman used a pitchfork on a
horse belonging to native in Kuna-
wai because the animal trespassed on
his premises. The story runs that the
horse belonged to a native, who gave
Look See information to the effect that
if he caught his horse on his own prem
ises to tell him. In such a case he
would have the animal tied up, so that
no further trespassing would be pos
sible. The Chinaman took no notice OF
this, and when the horse walked into
his yard, he calmly took the pitchfork
and ran the sharp edges in the animal
several times.

TO the point than those Of the first
speaker, but the sentiment was the
same. Kalauokalani said in substances:
MIR. President, Ladies and Gentle
men:-We are here TO consider the
great question that is before us today.
This is our land, we are the people
and this is where We belong. Are you
in favor of giving your country TO an
other, to allow yourselves to be swal
lowed up by another and lose your
identity, without protesting voice?
In other words, do you want annex
alton? (Cries of No, no!O Shall we
remain independent? (Cries of Yes.
yes!O To tell you truly, it shall profit
us nothing to be annexed. We are un-
der a Republic now and we are getting

public, we may get worse. whispers

we are thrown into the United States,

be sensible and law-abiding. Fear not,
for God is with you and the right.
That being so, we must needs obtain
what is ours
Kalauokalani finished, j. K Kaulia
arose and read the resolution which
had been prepared for the vote of the
people at the meeting. 1t was in effect
protest against the action of annex
alton now being taken, and particular
ly the calling together of the Senate by
President Dole for the ratification OF
the annexation treaty. 1t closes with
the statement that 1--WE, the nation
and the majority of the people of the
Hawaiian Islands are against annexa-
ton in any form"
Kaulia announced that copies of the
resolution would be presented today to
President Dole and the representatives
of the various powers and then printed
in the newspapers of the city.
The resolution was then passed with
three cheers, and the meeting ad-
journed with the understanding, stated
by Kaulia, that another mass meeting
