HONOLULU MAN BADLY
DONE Up IN OAKLAND

Alexander Buchanan, a carpenter
recently arrived in Oakland from Ho-
nolulu, was held up last night at 9
O'Clock by negro at the corner of
Seventh and Chestnut streets, and af-
ter being frightfully beaten was
robbed of a check for $500 on the bank
of California and $s5 in cash. Bucha-
nan was found lying on the street
partly unconscious and removed to the
receiving hospital. where it was found
that his nose was broken and his face
and scalp badly lacerated.
Buchanan says that the negro had
been on the same car with him from
Emeryville and followed him after he
left the car The attack was made
from behind, the blows being struck by
a blunt instrument. Buchanan fur
nished good description of his assail-
ant and the police expect to capture

DRY DOCK NEEDED.

Our distinguished Congressional WIS.,
itors should urge the building of a drv
dock in Honolulu harbor. The COM
merce of the United States with the
Far East is increasing so rapidly
through the efforts originated by the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company and
It's splendid passenger and freight
steamships, which will be extended to
meet growing demands of trade de-
veloped by American producers and
manufacturers. The vast business in
terests of the United States in China,
Japan, the Philippines and other east
ern countries require the government
to station and maintain a powerful
fleet of modern war vessels in the
Pacific Ocean. This will compel the
construction of a naval dry dock, we'll
protected by Notifications, where the
nations ships can call to be repaired.
Honolulu is so situated as to be be-
yond question the only place in the Pa
cific Ocean where this dock should be
built. It's equipment should be such
that it can be used for repairing mer-
chant vessels, steamships, transports,
as well as vessels of war. Hawaii de-
serves and needs the dry dock Geo
she has no rival, and
both military and naval
officers know her value. A work So
important to the government of the
United States should not be delayed.

the necessary bill 10 Congress is urged

valid excuse for delay in it's massage

The word of Darling's realization of
his ideals is brought to Los Angeles by
John Thomas, noted traveller. who
last year introduced the famous
South Sea Island Fire Dancers" to
America.
Thomas says he saw the back-to -na-

Los Angeles people, especially the
police, will remember Darling. He was
the individual who about five years

Darling attempted to argue the case.
He asserted that he was a consump-

But the brutal police said him nay.
Whereupon Darling reluctantly took to

neception of Wild Birds.

Falcons-hawks, the largest species
can compress their features and look
very thin if they think it necessary to
do so. AS to the owls, they can hump
into any position they think most suit
able. 1t is useless to look for these
self preserving traits in any Of the
family kept in geological collections,
for the birds are SO accustomed to see
large numbers of people passing and
repassing or standing in front of them
that they treat the whole matter with
perfect Indifference. They know that
at a certain time their food will be
brought to them and that they are
otherwise perfectly safe. The raptures
in a wild state have bloom or tAeir
plumage, like the bloom on a bunch Of
grapes, which is not SO often seen
when in captivity.

Subjective DrOwMin g.

The dentists chair was tipped so far
back that escape for the village seam
stress, a lady of remarkable CONVERSE
tiOnal ability, was impossible. Wads
Of absorbent cotton were tucked be
meath her tongue, some patent appli-
ance held her jaws apart. and all the
lower half of her cOuntenance except
one back tooth WAS concealed under
a decidedly damp rubber dam. The
patients mouth was full Of water,
speech was impossible, and the poor,
naturally talkative lady was suffering
agonies of discomfort
The engrossed dentist paid no heed
TO her squirmings or to the appeal in
her eyes. Fortunately, however, the
patients hands were free. Cropping in
the reticule that hung from her belt,
she brought forth paper and pencil and
wrote:
Help! Help. I'm drowning."--

Rare Ben Johnson.

The epitaph, 20 Rare Ben Jonson,'
engraved on the tablet marking the
burial place of the celebrated play
wright in the poets corner" West
minister abbey, is said to have orig
mated with Jack Young (afterward
knighted), who, walking there when
the grave was covering, gave the fell
low IS pence to cut it." DR.. Brew
er in his phrase and Fable says
Shakespeare called Jonson "Rare
Ben" but does not say where. Ac-
cording to Chambers "Book of Days.
the phrase formed the concluding
words of the verses written and dis
played in the clubroom Of Ben's clique
at the famous Mermaid tavern. The
epithet "Rare Ben Jonson" is said to
have been first uttered after the ap-
pearance of his highly successful farce,
Bartholomew Fair" The epitaph has
been copied once at least. When Sir
William Davenant was inferred in
Westminster abbey the inscription on
his covering stone was 80 Rare Sir
William Davenant."

Rossiui's LaZiness.

Rossini was one of the most indolent
of men and in his younger days used
to do most of his composing in bed.
Once he had almost completed trio,
when the sheet fell out of his hand and
went under the bed. He could not
reach it, and, rather than get up, he
wrote another The lazy man, il he
works at all, does so by spurts, and
Rossini, working against time, wrote
The Barber of Seville" ia thirteen
days. When DoniZetti was told Of this
he remarked, ut is very possible. He
is so laZy!' The overture to the 1GaZza
Ladra'' was written under curious cir
cumstances. On the very day of the
first performance Of the opera not a
note of the overture was written, and
the manager, getting hold Of Rossini,
confined him in the upper loft Of La
Scala, setting four scene shutters or
guard over him. These took the sheets
AS they were filled and threw them out
Of the windows to copyists beneath.

IF you want to tell whether or not
the man you are talking to is telling
the truth, don't look him in the eyes,"
said a Denver bank teller to some
friends last night II thought twas just
the other way" said one of those pres
ent. 1--we always understood that 1t
made it harder for the liar if you looked
squarely in his eyes," That's n wrong
IMPRESSION" continued the bank teller.
"The man who knows how to lie knows
how to look you in the eyes when he's
doing it. And the man who isn't a
regular liar, but who has made up his
mind to lie to you, decides first that
he must look you straight in the eyes.
1t is the voice, when you don't look at
the eyes, that tells you whether the
other fellow is lying. We use the sys-
tenn frequently in the bank. A man
will come in to tell us some business
tale. We look at his feet or his hands
or his knees, but never in his eyes.
IL he's telling the truth his voice will
be firm and aightforward, and the
absence Of your gaze in his eyes will
not affect il, but if he's lying he'll be
confused by your action, and his voice
will tremble He'll hem and 'haw and
clear his throat You may rest as
sured then that he's stringing you."--

The First TevcuDs,

Even after tea was introduced into
Europe and had come into general use
teacupS were scarce. At the same time
coffee was introduced, but apart from
ConStantinople the first coffee cups in
Europe date back only as far as 1918
in Venice, 1869 in Paris. 1862 iii Lon
don and 1854 in Leipsic From the
first, however, the conventional orien-
tai coffee cup, without stem or handle,
was little used, and in Germany not
at ALL The Chinese teacup was used
for tea, coffee and chocolate as well.
Specimens of porcelain were undoubt-
edly introduced into Europe In the mid
die ages, yet not till the sixteenth cen
fury were cups imported from China
in any great quantities, and even then
it was as articles of vertu Most Of
these found their way back to China
again, as collecting porcelain is a last
ing fad there, and high prices are paid
for good specimens. The collection of
Chinese porcelain, if only the genuine
specimens are desired, requires i'm
mense study and knowledge. as the
Chinese are skillful imitators and put
numerous falsifications on the market.

The Game of Craps.

The game Of craps is an old one.
Is the word itself corruption Of the
French ''creps," favorite game in the
gambling halls of the Palais Royal in
the eighteenth century? Bescherelle
says it was a game played with dice
and of English origin; that the name
was sometimes written ''krabs'' and
the word was spoken when one sue
ceeded in throwing 2, 5, II or - at
the first cast. English dictionaries shed
little light on the subject, and we do
not remember any allusion to the game
in novels or plays of the eighteenth
century. Herald

Eating Fat.

Darwin relates that the Gauchos of
the American pampas live for months
on the fat meat of the oxen they watch
over. The Eskimos can get along very
we'll by eating from five pounds to six
pounds a day of reindeer OF seals flesh
so long as it is not too lean, but con-
tains due proportion Of fat. Says the
author of 'Diet and Dietetics:'' Some
men obliged to live very fatiguing
life, the trappers and hunters Of the
pampas of America and Siberian
steppes, the inhabitants of very cold
climates, the fishermen living on the
banks of the frozen sea, can eat al
most exclusively without suffering
from it enormous quantities Of meat or
fish, but on two conditions = that the
meat be accompanied by its fat and
that the individual subjected to this
diet lead very active life in the open
air''
