POLITICAL DRIFY WOOD.
The Leaving Of Some of Our Promi-
nent Countrymen.
By AHUIMAIA.

From reports received from Ha-
waii and Maui, it ia claimed that
the Home Rulers, comprising the
Hawaiian party, will carry every
thing before them, and in such a
way certain Republicans who have
received Hawaiian endorsements
will also be elected. Ia this paper,
I'll eudeavor to give sketches Of
ome OF these possible Home Rule
candidates, i. g., as far as know
hem.

How Water Freezes.

1t used to puzzle all thinking people
why ponds and rivers do not freeze
beyond a certain depth. This depends
on a most curious fact-that water is
at its heaviest when It reaches forty
degrees Fahrenheit, that is eight de-
grees above freezing point On q
frosty night, as each top layer Of
water falls to forty degrees 1t sinks
to the bottom; therefore, the whole
pond has to drop to forty degrees be-
fore any of 1t can freeze. At last 1t
is all cooled to this point and then ice
begins to form, but ice is a very bad
conductor of heat. therefore 1t shuts
of the freezing air from the big body
of comparatively warm water under
meath. The thicker 1t gets the more
perfectly does 1t act as a great coat
and that is why even the Arctic ocean
never freezes beyond few feet in
thickness.

Mark Twain Couldn't Tell the Number
of the cIergyman's Progeny.

A warm friendship has long sub
sisted between Mark Twain, the hui
morist, and Stuart Robson, the actor.
They are in many respects similar and
enjoy many things in common. Mr..
Robson recently told this story of his
friend:
"Up in Hartford, where Mr.. Glenn
ems used to live" said Mr.. Robson,
"his closest friend is Rev. Joseph H.
Twitchell, pastor of the Asylum Hill
Congregational church. Mr.. Twitchell,
by the way, is the original of Mark
Twain's minister in 1nnocents
Abroad He is the father of many
children, in fact, SO csten was an ar

l went, as was my custom, to spend an
hour with Mr.. Clemens. In the course
of our chat he happened to remark
that he had that morning promised
to act godfather to the latest Twitchell
infant, born that morning.
".I went over to see and congratu-
late the proud parent he remarked,
in that inimitable drawl of his. and

Almost exactly in the middle of the

of which Uncle Sam recently took un-
der his care. On the largest OF these.
Tutuila, he has built naval station
There are about 5000 people on these
islands and about thousand of them
are children. The people are not
black. They are Of light brown and
yellow complexion. AS 1t is warm
there all the time. they do not bother
themselves with much clothing.
When the Americans came to the is
lands they found that, while the chill
dren were apparently running wild in
the thick tropical woods, they knew
what an education meant and many Of
them were attending school. The
children are intensely curious about
the United States and ask strangers
all sorts Of questions concerning the
great country of which they are part
now. They call the governor, who

After a slight pause the narrator
went on: I'VE went on to South At

incident, but to save my soul could
not help thinking of the poor fellow
we had thrown into the sea. Here is
where the strange part of the tale
comes in. When on my way back
somehow I knew when we got to
the place where we had dumped our
friend into the sea. The moon was
up and the water was shimmering as
brightly as II it had been surfaced
with molten silver. Almost in the
shadow of the ship saw on the crest
of a wave the calm, contented face of
my friend, serene in its resignation,
infinite in its placidity, as it rose and
fell with the swish and swash of the
tide. But the ship kept on. and we
soon passed out of sight"
