.CARGOES Of PRESENTS
HEAVY SHIPMENT OF BLAND
FREIGHT.
Lively Times Today At the Wilder and
1nter-Island Wharves-Blockades Of
Teams

Judging by the rush of freight to the
Wilder ana Inter-Island wharves this
morning there is going to be a big ar
rival of Christmas presents from Ho-
nOlulu at the Windward islands. The
steamers leaving today are the last re-
gular ones that win arrive in time for
Christmas at Molokai, Maui and Ha-
wall, and there was a blockade Of
freight that was something like the
bloCkades which followed the opening
of business after quarantine restrictions
were removed last spring.
The Kinau and Mauna Loa had the
morning bushes. At INinau wharf there
was a large gathering Of drays, whose
drivers got them into the usual almost
ineXtricable confusion and then swore
at one another i'm native, japanese,
Chinese and various kinds of English
1t was a case Of wait for turns. and
the comparatively new system of hav-
ing the wharf enclosed, with gate for
admission. was of very great use
The Mauna Loa's sailing time was set
for 10 o'clock. and there was conse-
quently an early crowd of teamsters on
hand. They blocked up the foot of Fort
street and people who had to pass on
foot had a lively time. The lumber men
always on deck, and not to be disturbed
by any blockades, kept on pilling lum-
Der. Oblivious alike of the profane
comments of teamsters and pedestrians
as they carried their long planks to
and fro.
This afternoon the Claudine and w.
@. Hall will be the principal steamers
to leave. The Lehua also leaves and
the usual Kauai steamers, SO that the
rush of freight will keep up all day.
Tomorrow afternoon the Helene leaves
for Hawaii ports.

"BOs'N BEN" DEAD.

Brief mention was yesterday made of
the death of James Bennett at the
hospital for incurables. This man, who
for years had been known as Bosn
Ben was a CONSPICUOUS street figure.
He had seen very fair days in his time,
but of late years had never steered two
points off a course foreign to fortune.
He was assigned to the Kaimiloa to
make the trip to Samoa with Minister
Bush, and Admiral Jackson but on ac-
count of a difficulty with the Admiral
was left behind.

An old song preserved in the Har-
leian manuscripts, in the British mus
uem, asserts that it is peculiarly lucky
when Christmas falls on a Sunday.
"That wynter shall be good" it says;
'''the somer shall be faire and drye,"
and the year that follows Christmas
will be a good TYNE all thyngs to
dom
If there is any virtue in the old SUI
perstition, 1899 should be cheerful
twelvemonth. For our own nation,
indeed it promises we'll And it would
seem singularly fitting that happy
year should begin with the years hap

the months they cherish the Christmas
spirit-the disposition to make the

ways OF Steering Boats in England,

A comparison Of the different meth
DDS of doing what Is practically the
same thing in various parts of the
world is both interesting and amusing
to the thoughtful observer, says Cas-
sier's Magazine. On American ferry
boats the import Is well known of the
"ting-ting" or "jiigle-jingle' of the bell
by which the man in the wheelhouse
communicates with his fellow-mortal
in the engine room. On the Thames,
however, it would be considered practi-
cally impossible to convey information
in this manner, and the captains Of the
small paddle steamers on that stream
stand on the paddle-boSes and sing
out Ease err Back 'er!" etc.,
apparently to nobody in particular,
while these interesting remarks are
promptly repeated in shrill tones by
small boy into q speaking tube which
communicates with the lower regions.
On the Seine, in France, this process is
s1mpiihed and large trumpet-shaped
mouthpiece flares out in front Of the
man at the wheel and he yells his COM
mands into this funnel, the other end
Of which is supposed to reach the en-
gineer. The large steamers on the
Rhine, in Germany, are controlled, not
by the usual wheel placed in the wheel
house forward, but by very large
wheel on vertical axis, placed right
amidships upon an elevated platform
or bridge, and several men pass the
handles from right to left, or upon oc-
casion trot round in circle, and it
would doubtless be considered serious
temptation of Providence, or at least a
reflection upon the fatherland, if any
one were to attempt to construct a
Rhine steamer with the ordinary form
of steering gear.

Pointed Chin Indicates That the Owner
Is Of Poetic Turn of Mind-A
Dimple Chin shows Conquest--A Sig
Of the Deceitfnl Person.

A. strong, projecting chin is an IN,
dication Of an iron will and no small
intelligence. Men and women SO en-
bowed usually succeed in all OF their
undertakings. The opposite is the
case with those persons whose chlns
recede. This Is sign Of limited lntel-
lectual power and physical and moral
weakness; an indication Of those very
good-natured, yielding persons Whoi
are easily discouraged, led astray, anu'
have little power of initiative. IL
however, the other features are strong
if the nose ia well arched, the broWi
broad and arched, the eye large and
intelligent-the retreating chin is not
so positive an Indication of mental de-
linquences; in fact, this person may pc
possessed of special talent in some di-E
rections-but nevertheless the retreat
ing chin is certain evidence OF moral
weakness, hesitation and lack of fnde-,i
covered with moving pads of flesh, is
an indication Of pleasure-lov dis
position. If the chin is dimpled, it is a
sign of coquetry, levity and untrust-l
worthiness But persons featured Z
thus are generally blessed with a
healthy constitution and are apt to
live to good old age. A. full, broad
chin points to noble characteristics; il
rather square and bony, 1t indicates an
open, honorable, but determined per-
son, who can hate as iercely as he can
love. II this broad, square chin forms
a perpendicular line when looked at In
profile, and is combined with small,
colorless lips, it: is an unmistakab le
sign of cruelty and harshness. A long.i
narrow and somewhat pointed chin Isl
a generally accepted indication OF the
poet born. Unfortunately this kind OF
a chin is an indication Of weak con-
stitution, and If it is found in COM
junction with mouth that falls in at
the corners we may be certain Of al
predisposition toward consumption. A
massive, large, feshy chin with a fur

CHRISTMAS CUSTOMS.

"Gift-making is one of the most
gracious features of Christmas, and
one that pray may survive all other
outgrown customs" writes Florence
Hull Winterburn, In the Woman's
Home Companion. When love and
sympathy are close counselors there is
little fear that we shall make the mis-
take Of leaving out Of our little ones

choice Is beyond us to crafty, let US

venience for ourselves, thrusting upon

articles as shoes, hats and other essen

German custom of bestoWing gaudy

but are part Of the glitter and fashion

I Christmas eve has romance all It's
own. The breakfast table dressed with
holly berries and gifts piled under
snowy napkins is graceful custom,
and is far nicer than the blunt hand

should be taken to create the welcome
element of surprise. We all like It,
but it is one Of the greatest delights
in child's experience He finds out
before we would choose to have him
that what is looked forward to most
eagerly seldom turns out well. 1t is
sad philosophy, yet true, that it is
dangerous to set ones heart on any
thing in this world. But the love that
hides its intention until the hour Of
fulfllment, and then let's out its secret
in an outburst Of generosity, is the
best substitute that is ever offered for
the special Providence-S Claus,
and all other gracious myths.
An example of generosity is seldom
lost upon children If it is true, not
artificial. They are very willing to
live up to their little knowledge, If we
allow them the chance, and part Of
or duty to the day is to encourage in
our young people the same Kindness
we cultivate in ourselves. 1t is SO
much easier to learn in youth to be
genial, sympathetic and generous than
it is after embittering experiences have
hardened our hearts"
