The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1901-01-16

There are only two directions in
which a muzzle of a gun can safely be
pointed; these are up or down. A shot
fired in the air can scarcely injure any
one or anything, and one discharged
into the ground is equally harmless.
Therefore, in the all the different 3osi-
lions which the gun assumes, sec that
it is pointed either up or dOwl. Some
times a man will be seen who carries
his gun reversed, holding it by the
muzzle while the ore end rests on the
shoulder and the stock projects behind
Happily this practice is not common
for it is extremely dangerous, and
many men have been killed by carrying
their guns in this way. If a man STUN
bles or steps in a hole or catches his
foot on a root and falls, his gun nIay
very likely be thrown forward with the
muzZle directly toward his body and
may easily enough be discharged.
Sometimes one may see a boy or ever
a man who will carry the gun across
the back of the neck, with one arm owe!
the stock and the other resting on 'h4
muzzle. This is certain to give a very
uncomfortable feeling to any one who
happens to be walking by the side q
the person carrying his gun in this
fashion and opposite the muzzle end
While the danger of a discharge is
perhaps not great, it is unpleaSal 1t tC
be walking along with 4 gun pointed
at your neck or head.-Forest anc

New Hair on Old Heads

Some cases reported of persons of
great age where the hair has return
ed to the normal color are very re-
markable. By an inscription on a
tombstone at Breslau it appears that
one John Montanus, who was dean
there, recovered three times the
color of his hair. A Mr.. Marazella
of Vienna died in 1874, aged 105.
"a few months before his death, ("
according to the account, che had
several new teeth, and his hair,
grown gray by age, became black, its
original color"
John Weeks of New London,
Conn, at the age of LOG married a
girl of Is, at which time CHS gray
hairs had fallen off, which were re-
newed by dark head of hair" He
died eight years later. Susan Ed
munds of Winterbourne, Hants, at
the age of 90, five years before her
death, acquired "new hair of fine
brown color" She died in 1880.

A Lost News Story

A managing editor tells this story
of how he failed to get the best of a
correspondent: "News was scarce
and the prospects of getting out an
interesting paper in the morning
were poor indeed, when from a
small but prosperous and supposed
ly pious little Illinois town came this
dispatch:
Fifty Of our best citizens ar

ent:

"While awaiting the story my

of the bucohc sensation on the first
page. The prospects of a dry pa
per were about disappearing as
thought how interesting the story
would be $50 prominent citizens in

EDUCATING THE MONKEY.
'nis should BE Done, Trouble
Would Surely Result.

A government biologist who is a
learned professor has expressed the
belief that 1T is entirely practicable
10 breed and train the monkey so as
to make him very useful to man
cine professor, be it parenthetically
remarked, refers TO the denizens of
the tree tops, not to the human spe-
cles.) Among other things, he
would make Of the simian a newer
of wood and drawer of water. The
proposal shows how impractical a
learned professor usually is. What
would the various labor unions have
TO say to the introduction of cheap
monkey labor? What endless strife
would result if the monkeys. when
trained, organized unions among
themselves
The proposition is, at first blush.
startling, but a little reflection will
show that we now manage to get
along very well with a large number
of monkeys among us. The thought
occurs that, before publishing his
ideas on the subject, the professor
may have been actively engaged in
the work of training the monkey to
initiate man.
Were that so il would account for
the conduct of many whom we meet
while taking our walks abroad
many whom we have TO class as men
while feeling conscious that there is
sometime strange about them: that
between them and us a great gulf is
fixed. The something strange NAV
be but a case of arrested develop
ment, or the training may not have
been completed. There are many
masQucradlng rs men who might
with advantage be committed TO the
professors care to be finished off.
Better results could be expected
than from commencing with the raw
material.
1t Is to be fervently hoped that if
the professor does train MONKEYS.
as he proposes, he will not try to
teach the animals to do all that men
do. or many men might hang their
heads IN shame.-Philadelphia Tele-
graph.

Rules For Good Eyesiqht.

The following simple rules for the
preservation of the eyesight are
worth remembering: Keep a shade
on your lamp or gas burner. Avoid
all sudden changes between light
and darkness. Never begin to read,
write or sew for several minutes
after coming from darkness into
light. Never read by twilight,
moonlight or any light so scant that
it requires an effort to discriminate.
Never read or sew directly in
front of the light, window or door.
1t is best to let the light fall from
above, Obliquely over the left shout
der. Never sleep so that on first
awakening the eyes shall open on
the light of a window. The moment
you are instinctively prompted to
rub your eyes that moment stop
using them.

Ephraim Knox lived in the center
of his native village, and his hens
wandered here and there at their
own sweet will, to the frequent an
noyance of his neighbors. Ephraim.
however, was no respecter of per
sons and considered his hens las
good as anybody" and desirable Wis
itOrs.
When it was decided that the
town library should be built in a
vacant lot "next door to him. .
Ephraim was filled with pride and
Joy, and he and his hens superin-
tended operations from the first.
Ephraim's brother Seth was not
devoted to hens. One dav he was
passing the site of the library with
a friend and stopped to view the
progress of affairs. Ephraim's hens
were there, cackling away as if their
lives depended on it. Seth looked
at them in disgust.
what IN the world are those hens
making such a noise for. do YOU sup
pose? There amt any grain in
there" said the friend.
"Well," remarked Seth drvlv.
they've had the oversight of most
everything in town. You know the
cornerstone of the building was laid
yesterday. and I calc'late that
speckled hen over there thinks she
laid it!"-Youth's Companion.

Construction Of the Ear,bworm.

y slight acquaintance with the
anatomy of an earthworm enables
us to understand why the body is
divided into a number of rings, or
"segments," as they are more gener-
ally termed. The internal organs,
instead of being distributed among
the segments, are for the most part
repeated from segment to segment.
1t follows, therefore, that when the
gardeners spade shears off several
inches of a worm the animal is not
deprived of one or more essential
organs, but only of less or greater
number of parts of these organs.
Spalanzani was the first natural
list who made-about 200 years ago
experiments of this kind, which
proved, as a subsequent writer
pointed out, that ''by a strange para
dOX in nature the most useless and
contemplate lives are, of all others,
extinguished with the greatest diff
Guilty"
In addition to these advantages
in its construction, the earthworm
has a certain amount of cunning
which must enable it to escape some
foes. On mild, wet evenings innu-
merable worms may be seen lying
out with the ends of their tails fixed
in their burrows. On the slightest
alarm they rapidly retire under
ground

Geological society is one called the

When our heads reach that stage

The young couple began soon to

chunks. Well, the old man wouldn't
have enjoyed it anyhow, for he was

cream, croquette, a dab of salad
and glass of frappe would floor
him. When he had suppers. there
would be big dish of birds. hot bis

The Opal and the ONYX.

The opal was looked upon as a
thunder stone, and, although many
women now appear to have a strong
superstitiOus prejudice against wear
ing one, it was in bygone days held
in the highest estimation, for it was
supposed to combine the virtues of
several other gems. On the other
hand, the onyx, so named on ac-
count of its resemblance to the color
of the finger nails, could scarcely
have been a nice stone to wear, for,
according to medieval superstition,
it rendered one particularly suscep-
tible to annoyance from Nightmares
and demons.-Chambers' Journal.

Rome was the mother of art in
Europe. Early in her history the
popes, cardinals and other digni-
taries of the Christian church fos-
tered the sculptor, the painter and
the goldsmith, and many of her citi-
zens became famous through their
patronage. They represented the
wealth and the dignity of the city.
and, although narrow, jealous and
arrogant in many instances, they
rendered a service to the world
which has been widespread in its
good effects. The splendor of the
art which they encouraged for the
purpose of advancing the cause of
their religion survives in many
works of art TO this day. Their eff
forts in this direction were not con-
fined, however, to the decoration
and enrichment of their sanctuaries
and palaces, but extended to the
ornamentation of their persons.
The goldsmiths of the time were
among the first TO create jewels pos
sessing truly artistic features. Gel
hni was among those who owed their
fame to the patronage of dignitaries
of the church. Not only did he at
tain celebrity through the favor of
a pope and numerous cardinals, but
he also suffered in consequence of
their petty jealousies and offended
dignity, for which, however, it is but
just to state that his own hasty tenn
per was in no small degree respon-
