The Hawaiian Girl,

No happier-natured girl exists in the
whole world than she who claims IlN
wall for her home. The native IIa.
waians are above all good tempered,
light-hearted pleasure-loving race.
The jolly Hawaiian maid cannot be
called good-looking, but her pleasant
ness charactcrizes the face ond rem
ders 1t attractive.
She is usually of good height and has
well-developed figure. IIer skin is
of reddish-brown color and her hair is
black. She is by nature, initiative, SO
1t has been very easy for her to gain
knowledge from her surroundings, and
the advancement she has made from
coming in contact with the whites who
have controlled the island las been
very great.
The Hawaiian girl is educated in the
Government schools. provided at diff.
ferent places throughout the islands,
and run at the Government expense.
The English language is usually
taught. In fact. the Hawaiian Ian.
guagc is dying out. There are now but
three Hawaiian schools upon the isl
and.
The chief talent possessed by the
Hawaiian girl is for music. Some Of
them have composed but their music
will never become popular, as it is as
narrow as the small sphere in which
they live.
The eX-Queen possesses considerable
musical ability. and some Hawaiian
songs and instrumental pieces COM
posed by her had quite a vogue on the
island. 1t has been prophes'ed that
Hawaiian music will become a fad
with us. for the native songs are plain
tive and weird-much like those sung
ny the negoes before the Civil War,
the full notes being much in evidence.

not with globe but with universe trot-

would be the more surprised, the boul-

The Rushlight.

Home manufactured flashlights and
candles were in constant USE by the
Scotch peasantry. Boiled animal fat
gave the required tallow; and the same
green rushes as were used FOR cruisie
wick supplied it also in this case.
In making rushlights, all ,te green
coating of these rushes was stripped
off; but for candle wick a thin strip
was left on either side of the pit to
strengthen and support it. Other
wise the manufacture of these two
lights was very similar. This sub
stance from the rushes when dried
was tied to a rod, then dipped into the
boiling fat, and allowed to cool: and
this process was repeated until the
rushlight or candle, had become the
desired thickness. In later years
candles were made in molds The tape
was passed through n hole in the
centre of the mold and knottad to pre-
vent it slipping. The fat was then
poured in and allowed to cool
These molds, during the days of the

Charles A. Davis. of Forepaugh's
circus, said recently that James a.
Bailey had organized Il $4,000, 900 stock
company in London, with Dukes and
Earls and Lords as his directors, to
take over Barunm's circus, of which
there is now little left but the name.
Three hundred thousand dollars, he
said, would be fair appraisement of
the property. but the good will is worth
at least S1,000000, and represents
nothing but the value of Barnum's
name ten years after his death.
"Barnum." he said, was the great
est Snowman ever known, and his rep
utation and popularity were greater in
England than in the United States.
The English people could never COM
prehend his methods. His candor
mystified them. They were accus-
toned to all kinds of gilded frauds and
fakes, but when he announced that
he had a humbug to exhibit every
body laughed and went to see it and
advertised it as genuine. He first went
over with Tom Thumb in 1913, and
captivated the nation. Every time he
went afterward his popularity grew.
He probably took more gate money
from England than any other amuse-
ment man that ever lived.

RISKS OF BULL FIGHTING.

Tho Animal Sometimes. Takes Climb
Among the Spectators.
IF the French are going to take UP
bull-fghting as one of their regular
amusements," says New Yorker who
has seen good deal of the peninsular
sport in it's native home, they will
have to get themselves accustomed to
seeing a bull break loose, clear the
barrier, and make himself gay among
them. To judge by the talk there has
been in some of the papers about what
happened at Deuil last Sunday, one
would think that such thing was
quite rare accident in the history of
the bull ring, but in the course of a
single season that was at Lisbon l
must have seen it happen at least half
dozen times-that is, more than once
for every Sunday went to a bull
fight. What is rare is for bull to get
clear away from the building and go
careering about the streets of the
neighborhood. That is prevented ef-
fectually' by the way a bull ring is
built. To get to or from your place
you have to go up or down flights OF
steps, and rather narrow ones at that,
and bull, however active he may be,
is not good at flights of steps. The
bulls l saw in the Lisbon ring were
active, being why, thin-fanked, deep
chested brutes, that thought nothing OF
leaping over the barrier into the. mar
row space between that and the high
stone parapet in front of the specta-
had made this jump in pursuit of
fleeing 'capinha' and couldn't find his
man in the passage, he would hall
jump, half climb over the parapet
When he got up there he would flour
ish his horns about, but could do nc
damage to any one who had the sense
to get up and move out of his way
You see, the benches around the ring
are set on a sloping base of cement
and that makes it impossible for
beast with hoofs to move about; be-
sides, the benches always impede him
You never hear women screaming on
those occasions-all the women are w
in the boxes, and they know, besides
that there isn't any danger; the bull
always gets pushed back somehow
One day saw little cigar~store clerk
when bull landed close to him
coolly get between the animals horns
and cover up his eyes until the attend
ants came and dragged him off. II
that bull had been on level ground il
would have taken thorough profes'
sional to go as near him as that, and
it would have been at the risk of the
mans life. New York Tribune.

Prefers to Flight at Sea.

A Kansas soldier put it this way:
Next time 1 fight for my country I'm
thinking that I'll do it by sea. 'Twixt
the army and the navy there's just the
difference of walkin';; 'twixt sleepin
in bed and on the ground; 'twixt hav-
in square meal and only something
to eat. You've got to keep scrappin'
every day on land, and at less'n days
wages, while you're always guessing
when the hospital ii get you. On sea
there's just one big scrap, and you go
down or you stay up: If it's up you
have your dinner same as usual, and
you can swing in your hammock while
the army sweats.'

Indifference to 1t the Cause of Much II
Health.
l know half a dozen women VINO are
systematic in their diet, who make
their taste conform to their comfort,
to one who practices anything that ap-
proaches systematic sleep. Infraction
of dietetic laws is punished swiftly and
in fashion that admits of no question
as to the reason for the punishment
1t that was true of the breaking OF
the laws of sleep, more women would
give attention to healthful sleeping
Il is unquestionable that our indiffer:
ence to the need of systematic repose
is responsible for the loss of a vast
amount of precious strength. Lengthy,
sound and undisturbed sleep is in
d1spensable to good health and goo6
temper; persistent wakefulness, on the
contrary, leads quickly and inevitably
to serious disturbances of the brain
and nerves, and sooner or later to a
general decentralization of the mentai
and physical forces. Children who are
permitted to sit up late, night after
night, over their studies, thus estab.
fishing most pernicious habit, in.
variably find themselves, in maturel
life, unable to sleep during the early
hours of the night, and long before
middle age is reached are fast in the
grip of the tiend insomnia. The old
fashioned practice of going to bed be-
fore dark and getting up before day
light, still in vogue in the country, is
no more to be emulated than the op-
posite extreme. Women are at thei1
best in the midday hours, not in the
early morning. The desire for early
rising is rather a symptom of weak
ness or of advancing age than of physi-
cal and intellectual vigor, for the
wearied body or mind demands repose,
and if denied it will suffer- After all,
the boy who resents hustling out OF
bed at unearthly hours because sit is
better for him. is fulfilling the law OF
sleeping better than his parent, who
does not feel his need of plenty OF
sleep.

The work of cutting down the grades
on the Chicago division Of the Balti-
more and Ohio Rail Road will be be-
gun Mt once. and most of the heavy
work will have been completed by
spring.
The Chicago division work includes
reductions between Titfin, O.. and At
tica. where a 2S-foot grade will be re-
duced to is feet, for a distance of 16
miles. the heaviest cut being at Repub-
lie.
At Teegarden. Ind, there are $4,000
cubic yards to be removed, to reduce
the grade from % to 16 feet. Between
Garrett and Ripley, Ind, there will be
a relocation of the line for seven miles,
reducing a .26-foot grade to 16 feet,
both east and west bound.
These reductions will cost about
100000, but will allow an increase Of
nearly 30 per cent in train loading
when they are completed.
