many shades of meaning common and
plain to Americans. The average Hawa-
ian never had a strong desire to adopt
the speech of civilization. The present
generation of youths is compelled to
learn it in the schools; but this is a mod
ern innovation. Such being the case,
how can it be supposed that the lofty
ideas. aspirations, hopes, and especially
the doctrines of Protestant or Catholic
Christianity would be received and firm
ly held?
The people, therefore, while the mis-
sionaries were doing their best to in
struct them, grew up with very little
comprehension of the higher moral, So
cal and religious standards of their
teachers. The native children, under re-
cent training, are able TO learn SPELL
ing, geography, algebra and mathemati-
cal solutions; seldom. however, do they
seems difficult to raise the intellectual
grade among them. They have only
lately been taught the history, literature,
poetry or art of the wide world. The
Hawaiians love flowers. as all primitive
peoples do, for their color rather than
for their delicate forms. They have been
made passive and unheroic by a long
period of peace.
The wonderful religious revivals of 1888
and 1899 had some remarkable results.
over five thousand were admitted to
the Protestant churches in 1889, and ten
thousand the next year. Christianity

country, still continued to exert a power

faith of their fathers and who, in secret,
have kept up the worship of their an
ceStral gods. From time to time the
outward manifestations of heather wor-
ship have cropped out. Especially from
the year 1868, when Kamehameha V be-
gan his reign, up to the death of Kala-
kaua in 1890, has this tendency been more
apparent"
Some individuals among the Hawaiians
have apprehended the truths of Chris
tianity in a remarkable degree. One ex-
ample was the queen regent Another,
Kapiolani, daughter of a great chief of
Hilo. She at one time was Incorporate
and dissolute, but afterwards became an
example of virtue and refinement to
all her countrywomen. In order to break
the spell of the fire goddess, PeIe, she
descended into the great crater of the
volcano and defied the false deity. say
ing: Jehovah is my God
AS an offset to such exceptional cases,
by no means confined to the higher class
of natives, was the action of Princess
Ruth, a surviving sister of the third and
fourth Kamehamehas. She was a proud
old chefess, who thought too little Of
the whites to attempt to acquire their
language. On one occasion the village
of Hilo was threatened by a broad
stream of lava from Mauna Loa. 1t had
reached within a mile or two of the
village when this woman declared: II
will save the fish ponds of Holi. Pele
will not refuse to listen to the prayer of
q Kamehameha." The next day she stood
facing the moving flow. Erecting an
altar, she made offerings and supplica-
lions to the goddess. The stream ceas-
ed to move and today its glistening
front stands like wall around Hilo.

distinguished but irritable Scotch lee
turer. The gentleman had occasion tC
speak in q small town in one Of the
lowland counties, and it CHANGED that
he met with q more than usually lOqua-
cious chairman. This genius actually
spoke for a whole hour in 'intrOduc'
ing" the lecturer. He wound up by
saying, ut is unnecessary for me to
say more. but call upon the talented
gentleman who has come so far to give

Three Rules For Fishing.

for trout and pulling the fish out one
after the other briskly. you manage

have passed a good many below who
don't seem to be doing anything"
The old man lifted himself up and
stuck his rod in the ground. "Well, you
see. sir, there be three rules for fish
ing, and tits no good trying it If you
don't mind them. The first is, Keep
yourself out of sight; the second is,
Keep yourself further out Of sight, and
the third is, Keep yourself further out
Of sight still. Then you'll do it."

Got Them In Free.

The English colony in Valparaiso,
Chile, has a cricket club, the officers Of
which recently sent to England for a
large consignment Of bats and a few
stumps. On arrival they were liable
to a duty Of 80 per cent, but it occurred
to the captain. who had had a good
deal of experience in custom house
business, that it would be a good move
to enter the goods as "utiles para agri-
cultural. e., agricultural implements,
which were allowed to enter free Of
duty. This was done, and it was point
ed out to the vista the custom house
official who examined the goods that
with the end of the stump hole was
made in the ground in which seed was
placed till by the aid Of the bat it was
securely located therein. This explana-
ton was considered satisfactory and
the entry paper marked "libre" Gree.

HAT HAPPENED TO BOWEN
No Tvcndcr Tint He Begins 10 suS-
meet Thn. lie Is Unlucky.

IV.ltcr Z. Bowen Of Charleston, Ind,
b,s II number OF narrow escapes to his
credit and he carries many scars, but
Notwithstanding his experiences MS
physical condition is good. Mr.. Bowen
Describes himself as my own Jonah.
Nearly every year since his fourth
birthday he has met with some accl-
dent which has confined him 10 MS Deo
for at least q month.
When Mr.. Bowen was but four years
old, an angry turkey gobbler nearly
"tlopped" him to death. The next year
he was almost drowned In branch by
a Young woman who attempted to toss
him from bank to bank. One year later
he was kicked through stable window
by mule, striking against a scantling.
The scantling rebounded, tossing Bow
en- back through the window, and he
was again knocked out by the mule.
The second time the boy failed to be re-
turned by the scantling, otherwise the
mule would have continued the game
indefinitely and until the boys. life was
crushed out. That same year he was
found asleep In the woods with large
blaclsnake wrapped about his body,
and it required careful work TO XIII
the snake without hurting the young
Ster.
When he was seven years old, a cow
tossed him over fence, breaking sew
eral ribs. A few weeks afterward he
fell into a creek and for the second
time in his life narrowly escaped death
by drowning. When he was eight years
old. young Bowen had broken one Of
! the hogs on his fathers farm to ride,
and he invited the son of neighbor to
a hogback ride. After his friend had
been mounted Bowen bounded astride
an untamod animal, and with one wild
"whooffw the animal plunged over a
fifty foot bluff into the creek below
with the boy on his back. The hog was
hattened out like pancake by the
force of the fall, but Bowen's fall was
broken by the animal underneath him,
and In a few weeks he was again able
to roam in search Of trouble.
When he was nine years old, he was
attacked by a brood SOW which tore
every stitch Of clothing off his person.
In his tenth year he was run over by
a wagon, Gripping him for months.
For three successive years he escaped
injury. and then he was struck over
the head with a garden rake and for a
time lowered between life and death.
After his recovery he was well sprin-
killed. with bird shot while hunting.
Some years ago Bowen went south
to work as a bricklayer, finding job
in Alabama. Immediately 1t began
raining, never ceaslng day or night,
and. becoming discouraged, he returned
TO Indiana, only to find letter follow
ing him saying that the rain ceased i'm
mediately after his departure. When
Bowen was appointed janitOr of the
school building. he signalized his ap-
pearance by falling into the water
tank. but he knew how to swim and
| escaped drowning. Last week he fell
from q band wagon, suffering q frac-
tured skull, from which he is now con-
valescing. Bowen now says that he is
not only Jonah to himself, but also a
hoodoo. While one Of the unluckiest
men in town, however, he continues
one Of the most pOpular.-Indianapolis
