HAWAIIAN MUSIC,

In a long Pacific voyage people who
 are destined to be two or three weeks
 together in the same ship and the same
 table sooner or later conclude to make
 the best of the situation, and one and
 all bring out their store of amusements
 or accomplishments for the common
 benefit.
 It is to this that we owed, on an even ing that will always be memorable, the privilege of listening to some Hawaii an songs accompanied by running commentary both descriptive and his torical, to which I am bound to say I am indebted, in It's larger suggestions, for the outlines of this paper. The singer and performer-fo he was both
 was an American gentleman whose name, if I were at liberty to record 1t here, would be familiar to many Amer ican ears; and he brought to his task rare and most individual charm. He was born in Honolulu, of an ancestry identified with the earliest missionary history of the Sandwich Islands, and he united in himself the fine insight of his New England forefathers and the sunny vivacity of Oahu. The instru- ment which he used was a primitive guitar consisting of a wooden bowl with metal strings across its open face; the notes were produced by manipu- lation analogous to that of a banjo; and along with this he undertook to give a brief history of the evolution of Ha- waiian music. Some of us had heard it or thought we had-whie in the is- lands. and had been much struck with both it's plaintiveness and it's auneful- ness. It was a rude shock to learn that, in it's primitive and unadulterated form, Hawaiian music had neither characteristic; and that for the obvious reason that it consisted in humping at the bottom of the wooden bowl and twanging 1t with a single string. The performer then illustrated how these elementary modes of expressing musi- cal ideas had been influenced by the in of civilization; how the Hawaii ans had caught the airs of the mission ary hymns and modified them by their own interpretation of them; and finally how, as the element of civilized life be- came more pervasive and potential, the music of the native and the manipula ton of his instruments took up into themselves everything-and it was ap- parently not much-that was intelligi- ble to the native mind, even to the last

QUEEN ALEXANDRA'S LAMP,

Truly the light is sweet! The wise mans words are imperishable, and they gather force in the light depart ment of the London hospital Owing to the compassion and generosity or Queen Alexandra a portion of one or the new temporary wards bears this pleasant and suggestive name, ana treats forty patients daily with very encouraging results. In 1896 Dr. Finse1 Dane, founded an institute in Copen. hagen for the treatment of lupus and other diseases of the skin by light Suf- ferers from various countries. including England, focked to it, and found III some cases relief and in others perma- nent cure. The then Princess Of Wales could not rest until the treatment was brought within the reach of the poor or her adopted country. She presented the apparatus to the London hospital, where all the arrangements for it's use have been carried out by pr. Stephen Mackenzie and pr. Sequeira, who paid

a visit to the Finsen Institute. One lamp was found quite insufficient so a second was soon provided by the gov ernors of this great hospital of the East End The total capital outlay has been G1,O00, and preparations for the erection of third light are nearly com plete As sunlight cannot always be depended upon, a ward where artihclal light can be used was a necessity in addition to the open air apparatus for which a part of the hospital garden is set apart
 On entering the ward the first impress sion is the sound of cheerful though sub dued conversation between the nurses and patients. Two electric lamps are suspended from the ceiling, each pro- vided with four telescopes. Around each of them, and in such position that the lamp can look down through its magnifying glasses like beneficent eye on the affected spots, four patients recline on couches. Beside each, her eyes protected by black spectacles a nurse sits pressing lens on the crin1- sonp atch which indicates that germ. known on account of it's cruel rapacity by the name of lupus, is hiding under the patients skin. In this position they remain for an hour at time. Through the black spectacles, a white spot fringed with red may be discerned agi- tating the lens. It is white, the nurse explains, because the pressure makes it anaemic, and the agitation in the glass is due to a current of cold water flow ing through the hollow lens by means of india. rubber pipes. She had no pain, the round faced, healthy looking young patient said with a smile. and she lis tened with interest to an explanation of the process given by the Sister and nurse. It is founded on the principle that light, If it can be so concentrated as to penetrate through the skin, kills the disease germ. But how is light to attack the wolf without burning or in flaming the flesh of the wolf's victim?

MAKING ARTIFICIAL WOODS.

A process has just been patented for making artificial woods out of pulp so as to initiate such costly kinds as ma- hogany and rosewood. Indeed, the in- his machine, to reproduce the appear ance of quartered oak, curly maple, brdseye maple, or practically anything else that grows in the forest so perfect ly as to deceive the trained eye. Obvi- ously such an achievement should be of high commercial value, inasmuch as the more expensive woods are luxuries within reach only of people of means the rarest of them coming from distant tropical countries
 The process does not reproduce the texture of woods, but merely their ap- pearance. The pulp is thrown upon a cylinder by an air blast projected through number of pipes, and an ir- regular distribution of the particles is obtained by various devices such as varying the intensity of the blast and causing the pipes to vibrate. In this way the knots and grain of the natural woods are said to be counterfeited with surprising success.
 Artificial woods of this kind are avail able for use as veneers, the employment of which is so extensive at the present time. Nearly all of the imported natu- ral woods are sold as veneers. They are cut in extremely thin slices, because they are too costly to be used solidly Mahogany, rosewood, curly ash, figured birch, satinwood and Circassian walnut are most in demand, and veneers made from them bring from three cents to ten cents foot. Some veneers are worth twenty cents a foot, though mere shavings, and single log of a rare wood Is sometimes valued at as much as, two thousand dollars.

BASSETT FAMILY REUNION
MAS HELD AT COLONIAL INN,
 WOODMONT, YESTERDAY.
Seventy five Members of the Family From Various Parts of the State Pres ent-Mayor Bassett of New Britain Read by Sheldon E. Thorpe of North Haven.

Y, Haven.
 The Bassett family reunion held at
 Colonial Inn, Woodmont, yesterday,
 was largely attended by members of
 the family from all parts of the state,
 about seventy-five being in attendance.
 Mayor Bassett of New Britain presi-
 dent of the association, presided, and
 Frank G. Bassett, of Seymour, de-
 livered the address of welcome. Shell
 don B. Thorpe, of North Haven, read x an Interesting historical paper, which < was as follows:
 F Had we who came in on the electric
 line from the east this morning contin-
 ned our journey to the elm shaded vil-
 lage of Stratford we should have been
 set down in an historic town. Being Bassets, our feet would instinctively
 have turned to the traditional scene of
 Goody Bassetts execution for witch
 craft in the year of our Lord 1851.
 While we were wandering thither we
 should have reflected (with much satis-
 faction doubtless) that she was Bas- sett only by marriage and that no true
 blue, dyed in warp and wool Bassett, was ever brought to bar because of too much familiarity with the works of the
 devil-however much some may have
 deserved it.
 x The first official information that a storm was brewing on the Stratford horizon is found in the Colonial Records taof Connecticut. A "Generalle Courte of Election" was held in Hartford May '16th, 1851. At this session Governor
 John Haynes (first governor of Con- ,necticut), with MT. Cullick and Mr. Clarke, magistrates, "are desired to zoe down to Stratford to keepe Courte up- lp0n the tryaIl of Goody Bassett for her life"
 x No record of the proceedings of this court is found. eW do not absolutely know that Goody Bassett was tried for switchcraft, but we do absolutely know that a law was passed in 1642. If any man or woman be witch, Chat is, hath or consulteth with a familiar spir- 3t) they shall be put to death" Now weeping this enactment in mind, and that nine years later a court sat for the trial of Goodwife Bassett, let us con- cIude that the leaven of witchcraft had been hid in measure of Stratford meal, and so pass on down the coast to Fafrneld for further evidence.
 N Tn this ancient town an event, which, though it occurred some three years af- ter the Stratford trial, yet throws light S0n the Judicial proceedings of that case. One GoodWife Knapp had been execu- ted for witchcraft pure and simple in Fairfield in 1853. She had friend, | Mtetress Staples, who refused to join in the clamor, and at the risk of her own life denied that there was aught against the accused. This was bold stand, | but 1t served no purpose, except to draw the wrath of the authorities upon her. When the execution was over MT. | Roger Ludlow, ex-deputy governor as- aailed Mrs. Staples so inconsiderately
