The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-08-15

Very simple is the ceremony of a
home wedding, and prettier, too, in
some respects than those held in a
church, and where the service is per-
formed should be decorated with flow
ers in profusion. If a bower of ferns
and branches can be arranged as a
background for the clergyman and
couple the artistic effect is greatly in
creased. A corner lends itself to this
better than a fat wall.
If only few guests are to be pres
ent it is not necessary to remove all
the chairs from the room, for some
placed against the walls add to the
comfort of older persons present, who
may sit on them for a few moments ;
rest. The center, however, must be
clear, that there may be no obstruc
ton for the clergyman or wedding
procession.
The mode of entry differs in no way
in the house than in church The
relatives assemble in the room and the
brides mother comes in last. If she
desires to be informal she may receive
her guests when they arrive, a pretty
touch of hospitality that makes the
celebration more charming. Should
she come in last she will be accom-
panied by some member of the family,
and win stand near the couple to be
married, though not so close as to
suggest being part of the immediate
party.
One bridesmaid, when there is q
maid of honor, is rather an awkward
number, for the maid of honor is sup
posed to walk alone. Yet if there is
only one bridesmaid it would be I'M
attractive to have an Indian file of

DAMP SPOT ON CEILING.

When you see damp spot appear
upon the paper covering your room
ceiling, Immediately make a few open
ings in it with pin point, fastening
the pin on a stick or long broom
handle. This will let the water run
off and the paper viii dry out leav-
ing no trace of mold or discoloring.
Just very few pricks will be neces-
sary and they win not show. This
will also prevent rents in the paper.

A Valuable Stuffed Giraffe.

Few tourists who visit the Smith
sonian institution at Washington
and gaze on the mounted giraffe
therein exhibited, which at the
time of his death was known to be
the second largest sized beast of its
kind III captivity, would ever guess
that the specimen contains the
most costly "insideS' that could be
imagined.
This is owing TO the fact that the
papier mache used in the construc-
ton of the mounted specimen is
simply the ground up pulp of thou
sands of one dollar, two dollar, five
dollar, ten dollar and twenty dollar
bills furnished the institution by
the bureau of engraving and print
ing, where the worn bills redeemed
by the treasury department are
macerated. 1t is estimated that old
money to the amount of $500, 900
was employed to make the pulp
which went to I'LL the dead giraffe.

Threescore and Ten.

The old tradition was that three
score and ten was the average span
of life, and we are becoming con-
vinccd that it is true. Nine old
people out of ten probably die with
in three years of seventy-that is,
old people who meet with no bad
accidents and who inherit no fatal
disease from their parents. Look
at the death list in any paper. A
man who passes sixty is pretty apt
to die within three years of seven
ty. Old traditions are entitled to a
great deal of respect. After all the
talk about health rules, the fact re-
mains that the average life is
wound up to run about seventy
years. If he does not take care Of
himself nature will remind him of
his duty in a way that must be
heeded.-Atchison Globe.

The Word SALARY"

The way languages are built up
IS very interesting, and the deriva-
ton of the word SALARY" is curious
as well. In ancient times Roman
soldiers received a daily portion Of
salt as part Of their pay. "Sal" is
the Latin for salt, and when the salt
In course of time committed for
money the amount was called salari-
um or salt money, hence our word
salary" and hence, doubtless, the
expression mot worth his salt"-
that is, not worth his "salt money
or salary.

manner which is as attractive as it
is "A He was full of gayety and
chaffed some of the young people

how he survived what he ate and

A FLOATING ISLAND.
It Was Found Roaming About In the
South Atlantic.

south Atlantic.
a United States cruiser out de-
stroying derelicts found its water
supply running low. The water
tanks are usually filed at Corn is
land. but the ship was too far from
it to sail there without losing pre-
cious time, which it could not af-
ford to do then, as it vas hot on the
track Of a particularly dangerous
derelict, and the chase had led pref
ty well down toward the coast Of
Honduras. SO when a low bank of
purple that might be g cloud or
might be land was seen low down on
the eastern horizon it was decided
to make for it in the hope that it
might turn out to be a small coral
island vet unchartcd.
1t proved to be a little island
about three-quarters of a mile
around and a quarter mile wide. In
shape it was long and narrow, with
a thick growth of vines and bushes
reaching down to the waters. very
edge, Three tall cocoanut palms
grew in the middle Of it. No life of
any kind was on the island, nor was
there any water, though instead of
being sandy or rocky, as such is
lands usually are, the soil was rich,
dark and very moist. After gather
ing the ~cocoanuts the sailors return
ed to the cruiser, which, oddly
enough, seemed much farther off
and considerably more to the south
west than when they left her. Then
it Just dawned on them that they
had been visiting one of the floating
islands so often heard about, but
seldom seen, in the south Atlantic.
Further observation soon confirmed
the suspicion, as the cruiser remain
ed near it long enough to see the
island change its position.
These floating islands are parts of
other islands torn away by hurri-
canes or some great seismic up
heaval. They drift about for
months, moving slowly with the
winds and currents, held together
by the matted roots of trees and
plants until they either attach
themselves again to solid land or
are disintegrated and eaten away by
the action of the waves. In some
rare instances they gather other
flotsam Of the sea to themselves
and, stranding on ii reef, become in
time a new island. - New York

THE HAND OF FATE.
A Badly Written Fagures6ethe -Causs
of a Man'ssDea


nv house verytrecentiysthat setsme
to thinking" said a NewsYork'man
of business theother'day.
81 rent ands occupy aahome on
Eighth street. The trout yard is
inclosed by an iron fence with an
iron gatC which had been broken
and not yet repaired.
Going hometo lunch one lday l
was surprised to'find a workman en-
gagged in repairing the gate. AS |
had not notified the owner,,I vas
somewhat surprised at his uTwonted
zeal in making unsolicited repairs:
/ asked the workman who sent him
to do the work, uninterrupted:
"'Mr. Brown, who owns the
house
"'But,' said l., 'heEdoesn't own it.
It is owned by Mr.. ~Smith, and |
rent it of him
ooh, no. said heS Mr.. Brown
owns the house. He, owns a lot of
houses, and | do all his iron work.
Mere is a postal he sent me telling
me to go and repair a broken iron
gate at - Eighth street. There
can't be any mistake
81 examined the card carefully.
The number Of the' house was the
same as mine, and at first glance
the street appeared to be Eighth
street, but upon closer scrutiny |
saw that it was Fifth street.
81 explained the matter to the
workman, but as he had half COM
plctcd the job I told him to go
ahead and finish it ana 1 would pay
him. He did so and went away.
ON the course of his work he had
been obliged to take up some of the
bricks in the walk, and when he re-
laid them there was half a brick
left over and not needed. This he
had tossed into the street.
chat evening two boys came
racing down the street on bicycles.
They were moving at a rapid rate.
simultaneously the clergyman of a
nearby church started to cross the
street.
"Whcn he was halfway across
and in front Of my house he saw the
boys bearing down upon him like a
whirlwind. He did what any person
Of good Judgment and strong nerve
would do. He stopped and waited
for them to pass.
CAS- they approached they divid-
ed, one going a little to the right
and the other a little to the left.
Just as they were directly opposite
him the bicycle of one of the boys
struck the piece of brick the work
man had tossed into the street, and
the boy was thrown upon the clergy
man with such force as to knock the
latter down. His skull was f"ractur-
ed, and he was dead before he could
be removed to his home.
