ODD NAMES FOR DRINKS.

Mr.. Regular Drinker finished his mint
ju.ep. and with cautionary wink waved
the beverage mixer down the bar few
PAGES from where a later customer was
burying his face in tumbler. Leaning
far over the bar, the regular drinker ask
eo in a confidential whisper:
Say, what'n the thunder did that fell
low order? Say, what is he drinking, any
way? 1 didn't quite catch it,
''Oh, he asked for a wet hen.' That's
up in every hot spell, along with various
brands of fizzes and rickeys.''
And, pray asked Mr.. Drinker,
what's a wet hen?"
We'll, now, you know tart or sour
drinks are liked best on hot days, and
yet some cocktail drinkers love their dash
of bitters. A wet hen is made exactly
like a plain cocktail with strong dash
| of Pechaud bitters and half q lemon
squeezed into it; so it's cross between
a whiskey cocktail and whiskey sour"
"Oh, i see," said Mr.. Drinker as an
OTHER came in and ordered .nose-cooler.'
Then Mr.. Drfnker watched the process of
r.aking the said cooler, and the barkeeper
explained in this wise:
THAT drink is simply the discovery Of a
customer of mine. who declares that with
the lips and nose kept cool while their
owner swallows an iced draught the COOL
ness spreads itself throughout the entire
system.
THE 'nose-cooler' Is in reality but a

WILCOX AND THE NATIVES.

Robert Wilcox talks of the services he

20 make II clear what those services,

spicuousiy harmless. We do not recall
whether he was hiding in a gas tank
or the crater Of Diamond Head; we only
know that some three weeks after the
overthrow he appeared In the drill shed
and made an annexation speech.
When the Hawaiians were importun-
ing Col. Blount in behalf of the dynasty
where was Wilcox?
when delegations were going to
Washington to appeal to President
Cleveland. where was Wilcox?
Was he here acting as a spy?
We ask the question because the late
Marshal Hitchcock then employed Mrs.
Wilcox to bring him information about
the inside workings of the Royalist par
ty. Did Wilcox help consume the
profits OF this treachery?
The truth Is that the Wilcox pair
have been the evil genius of the ma
tives ever since they entered public
life. Wilcox got out of the trouble he
led them into In 1889 by laying the
blame on the King. his ALI. His
blundering revolution of 1895 got the
Queen and host OF her friends i'm
prisoned- And now he Is debating
whether TO sell out or to try and go to
Washington and lobby for the Crown
Lands claim with which Mrs. Wilcox
hopes to deprive the Queen of what
Liiiuokalani considers to be her own
just possessions.
A vote cast for Wilcox Is one which
no self respecting Hawaiian could re-
member In his cooler moments withou,
blush Of shame. Surely there Is some
one more representative of Hawaiian
manhood than this skulking creature
who never led the natives to anything
but the quicksand and the precipice and
then sent them on ahead.

The cities Of Detroit and Milwaukee
have travelled together with singu ar
closeness for many years. Back in 1850
Detroit had a population of 21.O19 and
Milwaukee 20.061, and in 1860 they stood
45,619 for Detroit and 45,246 for Milwau-
kee. During the next decade Detroit
gained materially over the Wisconsin
town, having some 5000 more people,
but the latter recovered nearly all the
lost ground between 1870 and 1880, and
In 1890 showed 204.4S6 against 2O5, ,S76 for
Detroit. Now they stand at 2S5.754 for

most exactly as close together in size
