OF the many curious facts which
are discussed concerning the eye, what
is known as ''the bind srot' seems
the least understood. In the eve it.
self certain things may go on which
give IS wrong sensations, which,
although not truly illusions, are very
much like them. Thus, when we
suddenly strike our heads or faces
against )mething in the dark we see
'stars" or bright sparks. which we
know are not real lights, though they
are quite as bright and sparkling as il
they were. When we close one eye
and look straight ahead at some word
or letter in the middle of this page
for example, we seem t. see, not only
the thing we are looking at, bnt every
thin else INN ediately about il aud
for a long way on each side. But the
truth is there is n large round spot
somewhere near the point at which We
aye looking, in which we see no hing.
Curiously enough, the existence OF
this blind spot was not discovese by
accident, and nobody ever suspec ed il
until Mariotte reasoned from the con
st1uc,ion Of the eyeball that it must
exist and proceeded to find it. --Phila-

About that time the oldest sister dis
covered a small blind puppy in her
bicycle cap. As an echo Of her scream
came a loud complaint from the young
est sister. Her china tea set had been
recently hand painted, and she didn't
like the pattern. So the mother sent
the boy to the attic trembling with
desire to do right and yet lunish him
as severely as he deserved. He didn't

A Natural Misunderstanding.

Curiously enough, the munster from
Brazil bears the name of the country
he represents. Not long ago a gentle
man from out Of town, little hard of
hearing, on being introduced to that
diplomat felt convinced he must have
been mistaken in the name, and so
asked the IN mister TO set him right.
"My name is Brazil" politely re-
sponded the Senior.
81 did not ask the name of your
country, but your name" said the
stranger. "What is your name,
pea e?'
BRA Ill, +" again answered the diplo-
mat, thinking his in erlocutor quite
the deafl st man he had ever met.
Your name, youe family name,
your fathers name, not the name of
your country" insisted the visitor,
but Brazil was the only answ 81 elected.
Finally, convinced that, owing TO his
imperfect knowledge of English
which is perfect, by the way-the min
lister had not understoo / his inquiry,
he sought out his host and begged to
know tue name OF the envoy from
Brazil
".3razil," quickly replied his host.
"You are crazy" announced the gem

THE KINAU.
over Two Hundred Japanese on Her
Deck-Landing Will Probably be Re-
fused.

The island steamship Kinau, which
left port yesterday just as the Board
of Health was making it's order for the
Wilder and Inter-Island Steamship
companies to allow no more vessels to
depart until further notice, carried
large number of cabin passengers and
deck full of Japanese immigrants.
There were 270 deck passengers on the
boat most of them Japanese immi-
grants who are booked to work on
plantations.
1t is considered very doubtful that
Kinau will succeed in making land
ing at more than one Hawaii port. She
is quite likely to show up here in a day
or so with nearly all her passengers
and freight still on board, as the people
of Hawaii are likely to keep her away
as soon as they learn that she left here
after the plague had been officially de-
clared to be here. The first port at
which the Kinau calls on Hawaii is
Kawaihae. From here telephones run
all over the island. The news that the
black plague is in Honolulu Will I'M
doubtedly get ashore Immediately when
the vessel reaches Kawaihae and when
the Kinau reaches Hilo and other ports
she is likely to get lively reception.
The passengers who left here on the
Kinau Yesterday, and who may only
have a round trip without any landing,
are:

HOW IT WORKED.
A Cornish Phrase Wins Provisions for
Gen. Butler.

Thirty years ago when Redvers Bull
Ter was on his way to Canada with
regiment of soldiers, the troopships
was stopped by fog in the mouth of
the st. Lawrence river and delayed so
long that provisions gave out On a
small island, not far from the ship, was
a station for shipwrecked sailors, so
Butler took two sailors and rowed off
for assistance. Finding a woman in
charge of the supplies, he stated his
case and asked for share of the stores.
mo" came the reply, "the supplies be
for they whom shipwrecked, not for
such as you!'
but this is government depot, and
we are servants of the crown"
Cant help it; you'm not shipwreck-
ed"
Luckily the dispute, which was prom
Using to be a hot one, ended here, for
Butler taking his cue from the wo-
mans Cornish accent, asked her:
what! not for dear old One and All,
and I a Buller?'
The effect was magic. Rushing tow
ard the colonel as if she would like 10
embrace him, she exclaimed: What!
be view from Cornwall, EN- a Butler?
Take everything there is in the place;
you m hearty welcomed"
