HAWAIIAN LOVE OF MUSIC.

Hawaiisns have some customs that
the people of the mainland would do
well to adopt. They wound give an
added charm to life in the crowded
cities as well as 10 the country places.
One OF these Hawaiian customs has
been adopted to a limited extent and
promises TO come into general use ere
many years This is the one OF having
singing orchestra at balls and AT
Homes" Orchestra music accompa-
MED by singing is an old custom
among the Hawaiians. this being one
of tbsir ways Of expressing their love
for music Kate Field described this
custom in her letterS from here some
years ago. and this fell under the eve
of Mrs. Potter Palmer. who made
Paris believe she was introducing
something entirely original with Mrs.
Potter Palmer. when she gave din
ner in honor OF NJ. DelCasse. the Min
lister OF Foreign Affairs. last summer.
and had an orchestra Of singing girls
who accompanied their playing with
songs The innovation has since been
introduced in New York, though it
owes it's origin to the people inhabit-
ing Uncle Sans baby territory.
Another of the quaint Hawaiian ems
toms is that of serenading on the ewes

Years ewes. on the eve of the Fourth

Ahead of Coast PAPERS.

From the Maui news.
On looking over the files of the Ho-
nolulu Christmas papers one cannot
fail TO be struck with their force and
vigor. AS matter of fact the Island
papers are far ahead of many of the
Coast papers in the matter of inter
esCing local news. The reason is that
life and business affairs on the Islands
are cast on broad gauge lines. Large
enterprises are under wav Men plav
with millions. Steamers from the Ori-
ent and Occident pass and repass their
doors. Hawaiian papers have some
thing to tell and they tell it inter
estingly.

a convicted murderer who has refused
to be inoculatcd with tuberculosis in
the interests of science. 1t has often
of late been Indignantly denied that

BOIL EGGS IN COLD WATER.
That Is the Proper Way to Cook Them
Says an Emancipated Young Woman.
New York SUM


This egg tastes as if it had been
boiled in hot water" said the emanci-
pated young woman with the short
hair. Il can always tell in minute IL
an egg has been cooked in that way.
Her companion had not learned quite
so many things and was quite sails
fled with her egg. She only murmured
softly:
II never heard Of an egg boiled in
cold water. Did you?''
1T is high time you were introduced
to this institution. her wise friend
continued. "and I am delighted to il
illuminate you even at the risk of
arousing more of your sarcasm. An
egg to be boiled properly for human
consumption should be put into cold
water and then placed over the lire.
Then it cooks with the water. The egg
cooks moreover thoroughly and from
, the inside.
ASK physician or trained nurse
how to boil an egg so that it's great
est nutriment and flavor shall be pre-
served. Either of them will tell yoI to
put 1t in cold water. The old way OF
dropping the egg into boiling water has
long been given up. 1t used to cook an
egg suddenly and destroy its flavor.
$50 don't be sarcastic because YOU
haven't heard of the century's ad-
vances."

POLITE ERIE COMMUTERS.
Hats OF the Rule at the Chambers
Street Ticket Takers Window.
New York Sum-

A stranger who had an appointment
to meet a friend in the Chambers street
ferry house. which is used by Erie
commuters. was greatly puzzled the
other afternoon by the actions of the
men who passed the ticket takers win
dow. Nearly three fOurths of them
took their hats off to the ticket taker
in the most polite style
The stranger thought that possibly
the ticket takers wife was in the box
with him and ne went back to look
again. There was no one in the box
save the ticket taker. who looked good
natured. but not imposing. When his
friend arrived the stranger said:
rs that the president Of the Erie
road in that box?'
Certainly not. Why do you ask
such a question:
Why. every man who passes him
takes his hat off. gives him marching
salute and wakes on
The friend smiled pityingly at the
strangers ignorance and said that it
was trick of the Erie commuters to
carry their tickets in the crown OF
their hats. They took their hats off go
that the agent might see the tickets.
