Very Deserving.

A poor widow with seven children advertised in a New York paper for a temporary loan of $50. She must have been a very deserving old lady, for she announced her willingness to permit the money-lender to keep the children as security New York Letter.

Costly Fare for ostricl. es.

There was a happening at the Ari- zona ostrich farm recently which dis proves the theory that the ostrich is satisfied with eating nails, barbed wire and the like. A man who had visited the farm the day before discovered that his gold watch was missing. Thinking that he might have lost it at the farm, he returned to look fer it. When he arrived he enlisted the ser vices of youth and started in quest, without entertaining much hope of finding the watch. About the first thing noticed by the youth was an os- trich tossing something in the air. It was the watch, and would have been swallowed if it had been a glass-faced watch. It happened that both sides were opened and lodged in the beak. The next day the valuation of one of the birds was enhanced $50 It swal- lowed a diamond from the setting of 8 woman visitor, who inadvertently sought to console the bird by caress- ing it's forehead.

Capital Punishment in Japan.

Japan is considering the adoption of new method of capital punishment by the process of extracting air from the death cell, creating a vacuum and thus causing death The death or vacuum" chamber. as it is to be known, is to be an air-tight cell built in or adjoining the prison. It is to be eight feet in height, ten feet wide and ten feet long. The four sides are to have each an air-tight window of three-quarters inch plate glass. so that the operators, prison and other off, cials may have an opportunity to wit ness the execution. The cell will be connected with an air pump, which will have power of causing the ex- pulsion of the air in the cell in one minute and forty seconds, thus acting so quickly as not to allow the victim to become suffocated or distressed in even the slightest degree, but. instead, causing alr 1st instant death In fact, it was shown when the experiment was tried upon large St. Bernard dog that the animal was dead in minute and half after the vacuum was com pleted

Skating on Water.


 According to Prof. J. Joly of Trinity College, Dublin, a skater really glides about on narrow finn of water, con- ss'7sl..-T forming under the skate, and resuming the solid form when relieved of pressure. He shows that the pres- sure under the sharp edge of the skate, along the short portion of the steel curve which is at any moment in con- tact, is great enough to liquefy thin line of ice, and this gives the skate its bite" When the ice is very cold, the pressure is sometimes inadequate to reduce the melting point sufficient ly, and then, as all skaters know, 1t is difficult to make the skate bite. For very cold ice Prof. Joly recommends hollow ground" skates, because the effective pressure increases with the thinness of the edge.
 Two Fine Old Oak Trees.
 Raleigh, N. C., has the largest pair of oak trees in the United States, when symmetry of trunk and top is ta- ken into consideration. They stand 300 yards north of the capitol in the spacious grounds of the "see house" of the Episcopal diocese. There is practically no difference in their di- mensions. The diapeter of trunk at the ground level is nine feet, and six feet higher up is seven and one-half feet, It is thirty feet from the ground to the first limb. The branches radi- ate in the most symmetrical manner and cover a space of ITO feet in diam- eter. The height of the oaks is ninety eight feet Their trunks are not ir- regular or roughly buttressed. They are red oaks and their age is estimated at 600 years. Their vitality is per- feet.

7777 Sale of LIquor.

Washington Special New York Times. 4 decision of Justice Brewer has been raked up which may enable druggists to sell some kinds of liquor in communities under the control of the federal government where such practices are supposed to be prohibited. The District of Columbia Pharmaeeu- tical Association has been trying to find out how it can prevent the sale of certain kinds of malt extracts, and has been enlisting the aid of the dis trict government. As a result of the investigation of the legal aspect of the question it has been found that the act of congress regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors contains no defi- milton of intoxicating liquors. An opinion given by the district attorney cites an old decision of Justice Brewer. holding that the question whether any particular compound is within or with out ths law is question of fact.

Told Of a Royal Lad.

A writer in London Telegraph tells the following story about the king of Spain as throwing light on that royal lads life: "0ne day, during his history lesson, the king asked his professor to tell him how Spain came to lose Chile Mexico and other Spanish American colonies. The story was narrated so thrillingly and artistically that the royal boy listened spellbound and con- tinued after it had ended to sit ab- sorbed in meditation. At last thought having struck him, he looked up to his professor and inquired; What must do in order to get back these countries for Spain? The first and most i'm portant thing of all, replied the eau tious and diplomatic pedagogue, is that your majesty should-should- grow up to be man. When you are man I'm! muttered the lad, disen- chanted. 'wben I'm a man it is not history professors advice that I shall be asking. I shall have a prime min lister to tell me then, ''

The Tugrin Fog-Dispeller.

A piece of apparatus known as the Tugrin fog-dispeller has recently been devised to assist in the navigation of vessels when there is an intense fog. It consists of pipe eight feet in length and three inches inside diameter, far ing at the mouth, located near the nav igating officer. By 7heans of a blower a strong stream of warm air is sent through the pipe and acts to blow a hole through the fog. It is claimed that the moisture is condensed and falls in rain drops, so that the navi- gator is able to see through several hundred feet of the densest fog.

Some Mythology.

Detroit Journal: When the maiden in the old Teutonic myth saw the dragon approach, she was much terri fled. Are you going to devour me-" she shrieked, clasping her hands agon- izedly. No, Maude," replied the dragon, sareastically, I'm simply go- ing to take your chewing gum away from yout Whence we see that even a dragon eventually becomes tired of being asked foolish questions.

His Heart Is on the Right Side.

Physicians in hospital at Omaha Murphy, one of the inmates, lies on the right instead ofs the left side of his body. Operations were at once begun to transfer 1t to it's proper place. Mar- phy is accustomed to handling heavy burdens and two years ago he observed some startling change going on around his heart. The organ seemed to be slowly crowded toward his right side In the course of a year he found his heart heatipg nearly in tne center of his body, and then it passed distinctly over to the right side. The doctors performed all operation. They found his heart had been crowded out of place as the result of the formation of pus in the natural heart cavity. This was drawn off, section of the ribs taken out and the delicate organ pressed to- wards the left It could not be moved much, but the surgeons think it will gradually return to it's accustomed place It is believed to be the only case of its kind in medical history.
 Coal and Iron Center.
 Birmingham, Ala, is built on a foun- dation of limestone. Its southern lim- its touch range of hills which are filled with iron ore. On the north lies another ridge containing immense deposits of coal. Nowhere else, it is claimed, are the three essentials for the manufacture of iron and steel found so close together. As a eonse- quence, Birmingham is one of the greatest producers of iron and steel in the world. A new steel mill, to cost $1,500 ,000, and rod, wire and nail mill, to cost $2,000,000, are now in process of erection. Birmingham makes pig iron at cost of s6 a ton and basic steel at an additional cost of from S3 to $5 ton. Because of the low cost of production, it's mills send more pig iron to foreign countries than all the rest of the United States put together During the first six months of 1898 Birmingham's shipments to foreign ports amounted to 9S,000 tons of pig iron, in addition to 5000 tons of cast iron pipe. Foreign trade for 1899 will show an increase of more than B per cent over last year.

ARRESTED FOR DEBT.

The tax collectors seem to be the only
people in Honolulu who don't know
that the Hawaiian bill is passed Or
perhaps they are celebrating the fact.
News was received here May 8, that the
bill which abolishes Imprisonment for
debt had been passed and approved.
The very next day, May g. a tax col
lector's warrant was issued for the ar
rest of Sato.
Sato has had the experience so almost
universal with his countrymen, of quar-
antine and the relief camp, or being
housed and fed by the benevolence and
kindness of friends, but had finally got
job. He thought his pilikia was over.
Hope sprang up in his breast. He did
not know that the deputy tax collector
was lying in wait to make a dollar out
of his misfortunes. But such was the
case, and Sato found himself under ar
rest for non-payment of taxes. The
arrest was made by Abel A. Carreori
on warrant signed by H. c. Ovenden,
deputy assessor of the First Division,
Island of Oahu. He will have a hearing
today in the District court.
