KUPIHEA BREEZE.
The following came from Kupihea.
Of the Committee on Public Lands,
about the oil tanks at Iwilei:
Your committee is of the opinion
that the said oil tanks are a menace to
the safety of persons and property in
that vicinity and also of the city of
Honolulu; that they are a danger to
the shipping and wharves in it's harbor.
a discouragement to tourist traffic. and
foreign ships from touching at this
harbor.
Your committee. therefore, recon-
mends that a bill be introduced regu-
lating the storage of fuel oil within the
city OF Honolulu, and furthermore
recommends that the said resolution
with the subject matter therein be first

THE TRUE FISHERMAN.
He Enjoys Natures Beauties and Is
Not n Mere Butcher.


Not Mere Butcher.
The anglers art is but a pretext, or,
| rather, the incentive to a ramble, and
not the sole object of the fisherman,
unless, alas, he belongs to that too
common variety, the man whose sole
object is his catch. Such man fishes
with a worm, hides fingerlings in the
depth of his basket and photographs
his catch as a witness of his crimes.
He is not a fisherman, but a butcher.
a yellow primrose on the rivers bank
is TO him a primrose and nothing
more.
The true fisherman loves to catch
fish, to match his wits against the
weary trout, but as he wanders from
pool to pool the songs of the birds
greet him restfully. Every turn in the
stream reveals a nook in which strange
wild flowers nestle. The gentle eX-
element of the sport prevents the
scene from becoming monotonouS. The
element of chance, the uncertainty of
the catch, add the drop of tabascO
sauce which gives Zest to the day. And
the noontide meal by the brink of the
streaml When did a meal have a more
delightful flavor? Delmonico never
served a trout like unto those we have
eaten by the banks of mountain
brook with the clear blue sky above,
the waving forest round about and
the murmuring stream at our feet.
The hour of contemplation comes
afterward, with the pipe of peace in
our hand instead of the relinquished
rod. How far off the city seems. Are
there such things as corporations,
trusts, stocks, bonds, electric lights
that amaze the sight, harsh warnings
of trolley gongs, the rumble and grind
of the wheels and the brakes on the
elevated road which alright the ear?
The harshest note that breaks the still
ness here is the boom of the bittern in
the distant marsh.
Home to camp the fisherman goes,
taking n cast in this silent pool in
which the trout rose in the forenoon
to his cast, but missed the fly, or in
that dark hole deep under the bank
in which a vigilant eye may detect the
brown sides of a trout with lazily wav-
ing fins and tail, an old campaigner
not easily caught.-Dr. a. Il. Bristow
in Worlds Work.

CHINESE CONTRASTS.

We bake bread; in China they steam
1t.
We divide the day into twenty-four
hours; they into twelve.
We locate intellect in the brain; they
locate it in the stomach.
Our calendar is based on solar time;
theirs is based on lunar time.
With us the seat of honor is on the
right; with them it is on the left.
Our given name precedes the sur
name; theirs follows the surname.
The needle of our compass points to
the north; theirs points to the south.
We have standard weights and meas
ures; their weights and measures differ
in each district.
Our children stand facing the teach
er to recite their lessons; theirs turn
their backs to the teacher.
Our watchmen quietly go their
rounds with view to catching
thieves; theirs beat gongs and yell to
frighten them away.
We bury our dead a few days after
their decease; they often keep theirs in
the house in heavy, sealed collins for
years.-''China's Millions"

GOLD CANNON BALLS.
The Jungle Hidden Treasure of an
East Indian Princess

East Indian Princess.
Not long ago an old peasant was
wandering in the jungle about half q
mile from the city of Ahmadnager, in
India, when he found a round ball of
metal. 1t was black and looked like
an old iron round shot, but when the
old man lifted it he was struck with
its immense weight. He carried it
home and found on scratching it that
IT was a lump of solid gold. 1t weighed
eight pounds and its sale made the
finder rich for life.
There are many more of these can
non balls, each worth small fortune,
lying hid or buried III the recesses of
this jungle, and their story is curious
one. At the end of the sixteenth cen
fury Akbar, the greatest emperor Hin
dustan ever saw, was at the height
of his glory. At the head of his con-
quering army he summoned Ahmad-
mayer to surrender. The city and its
rich treasure were then under the rule
Of the Princess Cande. knowing that
resistance could be but short, and in
bitter rage against the oppressor, she
caused all the treasure of gold and
silver to be melted down. She cast
the metal into cannon balls and en-
graved upon each maledictions against
the conQuerOr. These were fired into
the jungle and when Akbar entered
the city, instead of the rich hoard he
had hoped to win. he found a treasury
absolutely empty.
That this is not the only occasion
upon which cannon balls of gold have
been cast is proved by the fact that in
the treasury of the shah of Persia
there may be seen in the same room
where stands the famous peacock
throne two small glObular projectiles
of gold. They were estimated by a re-
cent visitor to weigh about thirty-One
pounds each and are roughly made.
Their origin or purpose is, however,
totally forgotten. 1t is only known
that they are very old.-Chicago Chron-
icle.

consumed his lunch, the guest sat up
right in his chair for awhile, leaning
his hands on a heavy walking cane
and staring blankly at the opposite
wall, as if in u dream. OF sudden
he gave a start. He seized the empty
glass and dashed it to the floor with
all his might, smashing it to atoms.
He then reflected for a moment, laid
coin on the table, got up and left
the inn without word to any one.
After his departure another guest had
the curiosity to ask the waiter whether
the gentleman who had just gone out
was not wrong in his head. Quoth the
waiter:

NEWFOUNDLAND WRECKERS
The Bounty That Is Cleaned From q
Barren Shore.

In bygone times it was the practice
OF the Newfoundland coast folk to ap-
propriate everything they secured, but
this lawlessness had to be sternly re-
pressed. Now the unwritten rule is
that they get half their hand" or 80
per cent, as salvage. In portable and
valuable articles, such as silverware,
there is still a strong temptation to
keep the whole, but the punishment is
severe. Champagne, liquors, cabin
stores and the like have also trick
of disappearing, and In the poorest
fishers cottage you will come upon
rare china, dainty napery, silverware
Of price and wines to tempt an cpl
cure. The salvors are reckless and IN
thinking, and as they gather in hun
dredS every man pre-emptS what he
can. In the rush there is much de-
stroyed. When the Herder was lost
in 1882 they burned whalebone worth
$4,000 a ton to save leather costing
20 cents q pound. In the Emmeline
wreck of 1900 they trampled crates OF
costly glassware to get at four cases
of French prayer books valued at %
cents apiece. On one occasion two
salvors had got ashore a piano and
were adopting the SolomOn-like eXpe-
dent of saving it in half when a
shrewder chum bought it from them
for a bottle of whisky looted from the
captains cabin. When the Grasbrook
went ashore in 1890 every man on the
shore provided himself with German
concertina, of which instruments Of
torture she had a large consignment,
and to secure them packages of much
more costly freight were thrown over
board. When the Orion. from Balti-
more for Copenhagen, struck the back
of Cape Race and went to pieces she
had a large consignment of bicycles
on board, and they were auctioned in
st. Johns and disposed of all over the
island. The AbbeymOre's lading in
1898 included some cases of splendid
English rifles for Canada, and these
are now to be seen adjoining every
fishers cottage along the shore.-P. L.

Spanish CaraveIs and other Worlds
Fair Relics to BE Sold.

spanish CaraveIs and other WORLDS
Fair Relies to BE Sold.
The three Spanish caravels which
have lain for months almost forgotten
in a Jackson park lagoon at Chicago
are to be sold to the highest bidder,
says the Chicago Record Herald. With
the replicas of Columbus vessels will
also be sold the statue Of the discover
er that once adorned the lake front,
but which in recent years has ignomin-
iouSly repoSed among the heaps of ref
use at the Washington park barns.
This was the decision reached the 9th
er day by the South park board and
was brought about through the receipt
of letter from man signing himself
Captain NJ. Schuenmann. 693 North
Clark street" The captain stated that
he had lost his own boat and asked
the board to sell him the largest of the
three decaying caravels.
This inspired Commissioner Jefferson
Hodgkins with the idea of disposing of
all the weatherbeaten craft, and he Of
fered a resolution to that effect. This
reminded Superintendent Foster of the
big discarded statue. Some one else re-
called the abandoned bicycles in anoth-
er shed, and others had various old
rubbish included in the resolution.
Then Commissioner Hodgkins had a
brilliant idea. Wen have a rummage
sale" said he, "an auction sale like
they have at these bric-a-brac places
downtown. You can sell anybody any
thing at an auction sale. especially a
woman. So guess we can get rid of
little matter of three caravels, a bronze
statue and other things. Wen hold
the sale in the board rooms here and
serve pink tea to draw the ladies. Then
If anybody insists on seeing what they
are buying I'll take them around and
show them the bulky things"
There are a number of desirable
things among the furnishings of the
caravels which have been well taken
care of. Replicas of Spanish spears,
lances and armOr of the fifteenth CEN
fury will be especially an attractive
bait for the artistically inclined and
the lovers of antiquities.
