Merry Minstrels at the Opera House
on Christmas Night--The Pro-
gram for the Entertainment.
1t is somewhat OF novelty, per-
haps, to have theatrical entertain
ment on Christmas Day in Honolulu
but it will probably turn out to be
extremely popular with the vast
number Of people who are not con-
fined to their home circles on that
evening To judge by the way the
tickets are selling full house may
be anticipated. Twenty per cent of
the gross receipts will be donated
to the Strangers Friend Society.
The following is the program.

Protection Against Colds.

While every one admits the neces-
sity that exists for guarding against
exposure, especially when there are
sudden changes from heat TO cold,
there are very few persons who take
these imperative precautions in the
proper way. They are chilly when
the weather changes and Immediately
seek out an overcoat, a jacket. a scarf
or muller. The shoulder cape comes
into use and the feather boa or wrap
that is pulled up close about the neck
and covers the chest This is pre-
cisely the region that needs the least
protection in these changes. IL,
instead Of this, thicker shoes and
warmer hose were put on and IA
warmer covering for the limbs were
Afforded, the trunk of the body could
take much better care of itself. Cold
aud exposed extremities and too much
wrapping around the body creates
congestion and paves the way for dis
ease The hygienic and sensible
method is to give the throat, chest
and arms dash of cold salt and
water every morning upon rising.
An entire sponge bath of this sort is
of great advantage, but this treatment
of the throat and chest is almost
absolutely necessary if one would
avoid a multitude OF ills that affect
this portion of the system.

Mrs. Sarah Davidson, handsome and
only thirty-four years old, gives one
an entirely new notion of how a grand
mother may look.
Just a week ago to-day the event
happened which gave her the right to
call herself a grandmother. Bay Bea-
trice Esther Britt opened her soft
brown eyes to this world last Monday
and behind her youthful grandmother
aud her own dainty mamma, the latter
only twenty years old. Altogether,
the three generations of the gentler
sex have nothing to complain of on
the score of youth or good looks, and
a happy trio they make.
There is strong resemblance be-
tween Mrs. Davidson and her grand
child, and the mamma says frankly,
II always thought my mamma was
prettier than I, and baby does look
juss like her."
Mrs. Sarah Davidson, the very
youthful grandmother, lives in a pretty
flat at No. 351 East Seventy-second
street with her husband and four
children two boys and two girls. AT
first glance one would hardly take her
to be over twenty five, there is such
, an air of cheerfuiness and vitality and
magnetism about her.--New York

was on the Upper Ohio this sum-
mer when the river was low. and Was
much amused over the use to which
pilot put . megaphone He bought
that might have been given the boat
to carry. This was to save time, for
those little boats in the local trades
are great deal like the old-fashioned
mail carriers, anythingto accommodate
the people along the bank
I'VE were in the pilot house. and
the boat was running up n chute near
the West Virginia side of the river. In
a cornfield was an old farmer. who was
following a pillow behind an old gray
that only needed half invitation to
stop at any time. The pilot put the
megaphone 90 his mouth aud shouted
Whoa. and the old gray whoaed.
The farmer heard the sound, and
he thought, evidently. that a neighbor
was there or thereabout, for he looked
around TO see from whence the sound
came. Then he tossed clod at the
Did horse and started him up.
whoa. said the pilot. aud again
the old horse stopped. Then the old
man went to the river bank and looked
down In the willows. but not soul
could be seen. He looked up and
dowa, and then at the steamboat, and
scratched his head in surprise. He
couldn't afford TO waste any time in
looking for the ghost. for he went
back 10 the pillow and started on with
his job
"Once more the joking pilot said
whoa, and again the horse stopped
dead still. You could see from the
boat that the old fellow was all mixed
mp, for he looked mp and down the
river. and then at the hillside behind
him TO see If he could find the man
who was working him and his old
horse. He made mp his mind that he
would take il out Of the old gray. and
20 fix for the occasion he went To the
underbrush and cut stick that was
ten feet long. He started the horse
with vengeance When the pilot
hollered whoa again, the old man
gave the gray lick that sounded
clear to the boat. We could almost
hear him saw:
THAR, I'll teach you 20 stop when
YOU hear a spook hollerin' at ye
But the pilot kept up the good
work. and hollered whoa. whoa. whoa,
aud again and again the old man hit
the gray. Finally it looked as il he
had caught on, for he let the old horse
stop while he watched the boat.
Then the pilot thought he had had
enough fun, and he called out:
Feed the old gray; feed him. He's
so hungry he cant work. That's all
the matter with him.
''Then the old farmer got his voice,
and we heard him say: You go to
thunder with your old voice. It'd
stop railroad train anywheres. -

Some Postal Rulings.

1t may not be generally known that
a card OF any size or kind bearing a
message may be sent through the
mails if the proper postage is affixed.
1t may be two feet square, but if the
postage is all right the postoffice is
bound to receive it. The rate for such
matter is one cent for each two ounces
when they are printed, and two cents
per half ounce when they are written
upon. An ordinary visiting card will
carry q message if two-cent stamp is
attached. But ON the other hand,
postal cards will not be received if they
have been cut or tempered with.
The Postmaster General has issued
an order calling the attention of post
masters to the fact that postal cards
which have been mutilated or cut are
not mailable as postal cards. The de-
partment has fixed the proper size, and
no private individual will be allowed
to alter them unless letter postage is
provided in every instance. This ques-
ton arose over the case of a merchant
who had cut lot of postal cards, on
which he had printed an ADVERTISE
ment. The postmaster declined to
receive them, and was upheld by the
department.

FraRrance Of EleWers.

The great leading object of nature
in providing nectar and fragrance in
flowers is still subject of discussion
in scientific journals, says the New
York Independent. Fragant flowers
are the exception, not the rule. In
some families of plants where there
may be several scores of species only
one or two are fragrant. This has
been especially noted among the wild
species of violent, but no one has SO
far been able to note the slightest ad.

sweet scented ones possess over the
