SPEECH OF THE HAwAIIANs.
vowels Run Riot, consOnants Are
Few and There Is "a Great
Literature OF Poetry.

Along with territory and fewother
things at what has been called the
crossroads of the Pacific, the United
States has annexed a new language
and a somewhat considerable litera-
ture owned by the $4,000 left as the
remnant of their race. The Hawaiian
is not a difficult or grabbed speech. it
is soft and musical, most of the white
people now in Hawaii speak IL more
or less fully, and it offers no great diff
ficulty to the others who may be ex-
pected to fill up the new domain.
Its most prominent Characteristic is
the great use of vowels. Besides the
1--WE vowels it needs only seven conso-
nants to make up the alphabet, and
the one hard and fast rule of the gram
mar is that two consonants shall never
come together and that no word or
syllable shall end with other than a
vowel. On the other hand, vowels may
string along in indefinite succession.
The speech abounds with whole words
which have not n single consonant TO
hold them together. Two vowels
stand side by side in a majority Of
words. The opportunity to triplicate
the vowel has not been neglected; a
word has been formed Of every such
combination. Thus "aaa" means
friendly, "eee" is the verb to rise up,
'iii' is little. 1000" means to shrink,
and "uuu" means to stammer.
Four vowels together form many
words, as "aaua." crone or hag with
wrinkles under the eyes. Some few
words consist of as many as five VOW
els one after the other, 'iiaao," which
is the name for poi when it is hard and
musty, or "oiaio," the word meaning
true.
The language is highly developed in
grammar and rhetoric, developed by
the savage Hawaiians up to the limit
of their needs and containing the ele-
ments of a still further development,
The proof of that may be found IN the
books which have been translated into
Hawaiian. The Holy Scriptures in
Hawaiian show this. Despite the fact
that the history and the doctrine
therein contained were absolutely be
yond the line of island experience, II
has been found possible TO express
them perfectly in the native tongue
with only a very few words adapted
from foreign sources; in fact, there
are fewer than one per cent. of natur
allied words in the Hawaiian.

WOMEN LIGHTHOUSE KEEl

WOMEN LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS.
THE women lighthouse keepers are
the modern heroines Of real life ro
nance. Grace Darling and Ida Lewis
were the pioneers Of their calling, and
the latter, who is now known as Mrs.
Wilson, is still in charge OF the Lime
Rock Light, in Narraganset bay. But
there are others Of equal efficiency and
courage, who are content to let their
lights shine for them, while their
names rest in the obscurity Of the gov
ernment records. There are no less
than thirty women lighthouse keepers
in the employ Of the United States to-
day. Some of them have been in the
service forty years, or almost since the
present organization, which dates back
to 1852. Mrs. A. c. Murdock, keeper Of
the light at Rondout, on the Hudson
river, and Mrs. Nancy Rose. keeper Of
the light at Stony Point, were appoint
ed in 1857 Harriet e. Colfax, keeper
of the light at Michigan City, was ap-
pointed in 1861; Julia f. Williams, at
Santa Barbara, Cal, in 1865; Mrs.
Maria Younghaus. at Biloxi, Miss. in
1867, and Mary j. Succow, at Pass Man
chac. La, in 1873. These female slaves
OF the lamp are notably careful and
conscientious in the discharge of their
duties, and ii is remarked that they en-
dure the lonesome, monotonous life Of
a light keeper better than men. Salaries
range from S400 to 81 400. and the
keepers have comfortable houses, with
fuel. lights and provisions furnished
by the government. "-Leslie's Weekly
