OVER A MILLION TONS

for the trade of the Colonies. Complete
statistics of all exports and imports

Hawaiis principal trade with the
Colonies is in the coal business, impor-

business of the Colonies. During the
year, the largest on record for coal eX-
ports LOBE, 1923 tons of coal were eX-
ported. OF this vast quantity Hawaii
received 1S5,0j6 tons, 1906 of which
went to Kahului and the rest to Homo
lulu. This means fleet of over a hun

castle during the year.

The miners have agitated but no strike

This is the way an Eskimo lady sits Mt

in her bill of fare. They were tested at
first hand by w. II. Glider when, in
crossing Siberia at the north, he had to
accept native customs with what grace
he might.
No matter how early you may awaken
In the morning, You will always find the
mistress of the house already up-that is,
her position has changed from reclining
to sitting. But as soon as she observes
that you are really awake she hands you
a small piece of meat to steady your
nerves until breakfast time.
Then she goes into the next apartment,
which is merely an Enclosure for keeping
the dogs away from the stores. and after
10 minutes of pounding and chopping
returns with the breakfast.
\ large, fiat wooden tray is placed on
the floor. and the landlady takes her posi-
ton at one end in the attitude elegantly
described as squatting. The family and
their guests gather around the board on
either side, lying fiat on their stomachs
with their heads toward the breakfast
and their feet out.
The first course is some frozen weeds
mixed with seal oil and eaten with small
portions of fresh bubber, which the lady
of the house cuts with a large chopping
knife.
The next course is walrus meat. This
is also cut mp by the presiding lady and is
served with no stinting hand At this
portion of the meal the one who can
swallow the largest piece without chew
ing has the advantage, and the only way
to get even with him is to keep one piece
in your mouth and two in your hand.
After this joint has been thoroughly
discussed there comes a large piece OF
walrus hide, which has a small portion Of
blubber attached to it and the hair still
on the outside. 1t is about an inch thick
and very tough, so that it is impossible
to affect it by chewing 1t is therefore
cut into very small pieces by the hostess
and finishes the meal. Really it is the
most palatable dish of all.-Youth's Com.

An interesting story is told Of a duel
between the Bocr General Botha and a
British sharp>hooter called Sampson.
This encounter took place during the war
of 1851, when the British first learned
TO their cost the deadly aim of the Boer
marksmen.
Sampson had taken up a position be-
hind a large bowlcr and was preparing
TO pick off, the enemy when a bullet
from a Boer, concealed like himself 300
yards away, knocked off his hat.
Waiting until he caught a glimpse of
the Boer Sampson fired. lie was so
satisfied that he had hit his opponent that
he inconsileratoly raised his head and
instantly got bullet in the neck. The
Boer, convinced in his turn that his an
tagonist was dead, rose to his knees. He
was struck in the shoulder 10y another Of
SIMPSONS bullets, but before he dropped
fired again and lodged shot in Samp
sons side.
The duel continued until each man be-
came unconscious. They were found
later by their comrades and carried off
the field in a dying condition. Happily
both recovered. The Bocr was General
Botha.

A PAINTERS VISION

Many an incident in the career of
Michael Schroeder created Baron Mum
kaczy in the Hungarian nobility-was
pitiless illustration of the truth of
Dryden's line that great wits are sure TO
madness near allied and thin partitions
mark the bounds OF separation.
His marvellous and fantastical career
both as man and as artist was marked
by hnndred episodes that might have
been construed as evidence of an unbal-
anced mind, but it was not until his rea-
son became hopelessly clouded that the
world realized in how trcmulous a bal
ance had hung the intellect which had
given it three pictures which won for
their painter fame, riches, decorations.
titles and a devoted regard such as is
bestowed upon very few men in any walk
of life.
His weird methods of conceiving and
working ont his pictures never had
more startling illustration than in the
case of his most famous canvas. Christ
Before Plate" This picture, which is 20
feet long and - feet high, contains more
than 40 figures. All the figures save one
were skctchcd in with a rapility almost
maniacal between dawn and twilight Of
uue udg. Nc one space remaining empty
was that reserved for the figure Of Jesus.
and il remained so many days while
Mrnkaczy worked on the other figures.
As he approached the oasis of white can
vas left untouched by his blazing colors
the artistic and devotional fervor grew
upon him, and he shut himself away
from the sight of man that he might in
perfect solitude and silence realize his
conception of the Man Of Sorrows.
When the picture was finished and had
brought him worldwide fame, he always
insisted that while he was sitting alone

him like the phantasmagoria Of a dream.

white figure, set amid respondent Grim

know what its effect upon the world was.

A PccuIinrItx of Ants

All ants that are not from the same
nest seem to be deadly enemies, for,
while an ant will do what he can to put
to death stranger. he does not seem to
take corresponding delight in aiding
his friends. as is shown by the following
experiment:
A scientist in order to test the affec-
ton of ants belonging to the same nest,
took six of them and imprisoned them in
a small bottle. covering it with a piece
of coarse mesh muslin. Their fellows
paid no particular attention to the pris-
oners, but when the experiment was re-
peated, substituting, however, six ants
of a rival tribe, their enemies swarmed
around the bottle and after something
like a week through persistent effort they
succeeded in eating their way through the
muslin. Two ants were found dead, evil

ToOMBS AND STEPHENS.
A Friendship That Was of Great Use
to the Former.

DR.. F. r. Orme told me several good
stories about our old time statesmen.
Among other anecdotes and incidents the
doctor gave me some piquant reminis-
cences of Toombs and Stephens.
Toombs always tried to impress people
with the belief that his genius made him
equal to any emergency. Even when
he studied hard or awaited himself of the
labor of others he encouraged the idea
that his most splendid efforts were the
result of the inspiration of the moment,
entirely offhand. without any special prep
aration for the occasion.
Once, when a very important debate
was going on in the federal congress-
Toombs made a magnificent speech which
attracted everybody's attention.
1t was not only an eloquent speech, but
it was remarkable for its mastery array
of facts ana figures and its convincing ar
guments.
"Iou must have devoted considerable
time to its preparation" said one of the
statesmen's admirers
well, | gave about two hours to it,"
Toombs replied, with a careless, indiffer-
ent air.
Somebody repeated this to Stephens in
the presence of several congressman.

irritably. Prepared that speech in two
hours did he: | spent two weeks on it.
That's all care to say"
Stephens had patiently and laboriously
collected the statistics, and Toombs had
merely added the tlourishes.
The two great Georgians attended a ma
tional Democratic convention shortly be-
fore the war, and Stephens was confined
to his bed just when he could least afford
to he laid up.
After an important caucus Toombs Wis
tied his friend and sat down by his bed
side.
'Aeck," he said, ''it was proposed to
nominate you for vice president. but

and would decline the nomination, so
they took the other man."

country district near the city one day.
when off in field he saw boy throwing
stones through the glass of n deserted
house The mans first impulse was to
shout to him to stop, but then he thought
that the boys father should have taught
him better things. and it was not his duty
to chastise another mans children for
their wickedness. So he went home that
night and began to tell the instance at
supper table. His boy, who had been out
in the country hunting all day, began to
