THE C0RVALL1S GAZETTE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1S91. Highest of all in Leavening Power. . ; - ABSQULffEl PUSS . FEASTING IN HAW Ail. i Abundant Food Prepared in a Kovel Manner for Oqe Thousand Guests. ' The following extract from a private letter written from Honolulu by Dr. George P. Andrews outlines -. a novel feast: ; We have been having a festival week, the semi centennial of Dahu college. A number of alumni came home from the states, among others General S. C. Arm strong, of Hampton, Va., and he gave tis some grand talks on his work in the great school -there. Rev. "William Gu lick and wife also are here, from their twenty years' work in Spain. The great feast was a novel sight. An awning of Bails covered in a space about CO by 100 feet, under which were laid tables, and the viands, cooked a la Hawaii,' were laid on them. As provision was made for a thousand people an account of the cooking may be of interest. , . - There were provided forty-five half grown pigs, two beeves, 125 chickens, several hundred fish, bushels of sweet potatoes, etc. The larger pigs were cut into fragments and tied in bundles of banana and drachma leaves of a pound or two weight each. The beef was served in the same Way, also the chick ens. The smaller pigs were wrapped whole in the leaves. Preparations for the cooking were made the day before. Four holes were dug, one 10 by 4 feet, one 6 by 4 feet and the others about three feet wide and two feet deep. A quantity of wood was placed ' in the grotto and upon this were placed .large stones a foot deep. 4 .One Sre was lighted early in the morn ing of the day before and the second about 1 o'clock. -' At 3 o'clock the wood was burned out and the bottom was "a mass of red hot stones. Upon these were spread a layer of crushed fresh banana ptems six inches thick, and; upon these were piled the small bundles of meat two or three feet high and the size' of the hole. Over them was placed a mass of fresh banana leaves several inches thick, over this matting, and then dirt a foot thick and the imu was finished and left to steam until the next morning. At 5 in the evening the big one was similarly filled with the remainder of the" meat and the trussed pigs, and also cov ered. One can imagine what a delight ful heat would be brought to bear upon the contents of the imu, and how deli cately the contents would be cooked dur ing the long hours of the night. Early in the morning of the feast day the two small imus were filled with the fish tied up in leaves and sweet potatoes and i covered. The large ovens covered the day before were opened during the ttorninor and the contents takfln out and ; The tables seated between 200 and S0O at a time. Poi; the native food a'paste made from the Calocosen esc Ulen turn and 60ur? was put: in small, water tight bassets along the center of each J 11.- 1 !

I watermelons cut in fancy shapes, various relishes of raw. sea urchins, meat, sea weed, raw shrimps and pounded kukui nuts and salt. Conveniently at hand ' were fern leaves, and the . viands upon leaves, gourds and " wooden bowls and flatters. - ' The guests recline at their ease on the left side and eat with the right hand. Each one has a bowl of fair water to cleanse the fingers. The method of eat ing is riot disgusting. The natives use their fingers dexterously and daintily a,nd not piggishly, though they are rather gormandizing in their native state. Detroit Free Press. Maternal Love of the Whale. No other member of the animal king dom displays more maternal affection than the whale, especially if its calf is harpooned. The harpooner never throws his harpoon into the little one with the intention of killing it, for if this is done the mother will instantly forsake it. If alive and struggling, however,- the dam can be easily enticed toward the boat to meet its fate. Knowing this, the whale fishermen always strike a calf if 'possi ble, and thus often make captures that could not be effected under" other cir cumstances. As soon as the dam becomes aware of the snaring of her young she rushes to ward it, encourages it to swim away, and even assists by taking it under her fin. She seems to lose all regard for her own safety, and boldly attacks the boat containing the whalemen, or circles about it totally regardless of the har poons that are hurled at her and enter her flesh. Detroit Free Press. A Peculiar Prayer. ' ' In a Maine town near the seacoast was one of many communities where the men were, so to speak, a cross between farmers and sailors, and where, as a natural consequence, the cultivation of the soil was somewhat neglected. The minister of a neighboring town exchanged with the minister of this community, and as a drought was upon them the people sent him a request that he would pray for rain. This ha did, as follows: . ..... "O Lord, thy servant is asked by this ' people to pray for rain, and he does so. But thou knowest, O Lord, that what this soils needs is dressin." Atlantic Monthly. How the Natives Treat Gorillas. Natives in the countries inhabited by great apes regard them always as human beings of inferior types, and it is for this reason that for a long time it was found impossible to get hold of an entire gorilla skin, because the savages con sidered it religiously necessary to cut off the hands and feet of the animals when they killed them, just as they do with their enemies, possibly for the purpose of rendering them harmless in case they should by any chance come to life again.

Gov't Report, Aug. 17, 1889. How New York Boys "Whip Behind." . Trust the small boy, whose playground is the busy street, to get all the fun out of life .that there is in it for him. Ha never wants for a game. When he tires of one his ingenuity will quickly sug gest another. The boys' over on the west side of the city around the ap praiser's stores are now enjoying a sport that has just enough of danger and devilitry in it to make it a craze among them. The streets there are trav eled from daybreak to sundown by trucks going to. and from ..the stores and the wharves. Stealing rides on these trucks has long been the pastime of the youth of the locality, but it was accompanied by so great a possibility - of a swish across the legs from the whip of some irate driver that the lads began to tire of it. The boys have now circumvented that difficulty. Scores of them have obtained old jute bags and have stuffed them r. with hay, "straw or rags. They have tied around the necks of these long pieces of strong rope. Now they stand innocently cn a corner and wait for a truck that is moving rap idly enough to make', it a desirable vic tim. As it passes them they pass the end of the rope around one of the guard stakes on the truck. The stuffed jute bag comes along, they jump down on it, still holding the end of the rope, and are towed along until the driver forces them to retreat. They are eo far out of the reach of whips that he generally must stop his truck and get off to do this. By that time the boys are half a block off. Sometimes five or feix lads will get a tow on the same truck. The result . of so many drags on behind is often to bring the poor beast on whom the burden is placied to a standstill. New - York Times. . . . .. . .. The Ancient Schoolmaster. ' A roll measuring about fifteen feet long,' containing poems hitherto un known of Herodius in Seazon oreho hambic meter, has just been exhibited in the manuscript department of the British museum. One of the poem3 is entitled ''The Schpolmaster." A mother appears before the master called Lam priscus. She is accompanied by her son, and entreats the pedagogue to flog him within an inch of his life because the boy is the. terror' of hor existence. He has nearly ruined her by playing, pitch, and tos3, he associates . with the lowest characters of the town, and if he is asked to spell the name of Maron he turns it into Simon; in fact, he has en tirely got beyond the control of his par ents. Lainpriseus therefore fetches his instrument of correction, which is made of cowhide, and applies it without mercy. The boy howls and promises to be : "good, and when, the schoolmaster" thinks thai the youth has had enough, ho tells the mother to keep him a close prisoner for some time to come. Man chester (England) Guardian. About Furnaces. In placing your furnace in your new house, always remember that lateral ; pipes never give out much heat. The ! hot air must invariably ascend to pro duce a current", and therefore we see very often a register in the third story giving out splendid heat, when in the extension library, where warmth is par ticularly desired, the air of the room ia hardly affected e.t all. In a large coun try house it would really be better to have two small furnaces rather than one large one. -Less coal would be used to more purpose, and they would not be much more troublesome to tend than is one. But if you have two, do not make the mistake of putting them side by side, as was done in a very large house near New York. This simply in tensified the heat in the same part of the house without carrying it into the wings, where it was chiefly needed. New York Tribune. An. Aeronaut's Experience. A story is told pf the thrilling ex; perience of a veteran aeronaut with a bald eagle and a Connecticut constable. During a recent ascension, when at a height of 3,000 feet, the balloonist was attacked by the eagle. A desperate fight ensued, which resulted in the eagle being killed. Half fainting, the aeronaut descended to terra firma. When he had recovered he hunted for and found the dead bird. While he was examining his prize the constable came along and ar rested him for killing the bird, for which offense, he claimed, a fine of $50 is im posed. The aeronaut, it is related, had more difficulty in escaping punish ment than he had in killing the bird. Boston Journal. Weighing Mosquitoes. -. - It is told of a great author that he was. wont to amuse himself by jumping over a chair. But I have a correspondent who, as the following shows, amuses himself by weighing mosquitoes: "I have recently weighed some mos quitoes of this locality on a sensitive balance. The average weight of one mosquito was 1.27 milligrams that is, it would take 360,000 to weigh .a pound. "Mosquitoes which had filled them selves with human blood were found to weigh, about three times as much as others, showing that they had swallowed twice their weight in blood." Boston Globe. - - - - Buried in Silver. v: ? ' William L. Scott was buried in a mag-' nificent coffin, the manufacture of Which required seventy-six pounds of solid silver, besides quantities of silk and broadcloth. The undertakers say that within their recollection - only one" other American, Samuel J. Tilden, ever had his mortal clay housed so elaborate ly. The use of gold bars and solid gold plates on expensive casket3 is not un usual, but so lavish a use of solid silver is unprecedented. San Francisco Argo naut. .... - The Lake in the Great Desert. j ' It is estimated that nine-tenths of the water from the Colorado river is flowing into Salton sea, and the winter floods will greatly augment the volume of wa ter, which may seek a gulf outlet. A lake 150 miles long and 300 feet deep is predicted. San Francisco Bulletin. . Things Money Cannot Buy. How much the happiness gt individual lives is made up of priceless things, un salable in the coin of the land, yet found quickly when the heart of the searcher honestly desires them! Many of these real treasures are qualities that simply diffuse themselves through the moral and mental atmosphere, and are some times little valued, because they seem too vaporous and too illusive to be prac tically grasped; but they are genuine possessions and won by heart service. ! Who does not rejoice to have an hon orable name not necessarily a distin guished name, but a clean "one? "Truly, pride In' such an inheritance, which can not be bought, is justifiable if. with it there are mingled a feeling of humility and a desire to do one's own part to transmit the name as unsullied as it has been bestowed. What makes home love dearer and sweeter than all else, and treasured while life lasts? Not the tables and chairs, not the delicacy of porcelain or the aesthetic beauty which -the loom achieves." --: - " '' : '' - These minister to the comfort, taste and artistic nature; but beyond these there is" something which' ministers to the heart and soul, glorifying plain sur roundings and homely, details some thing illusive to measure or weight, yet potent to guide, to comfort and to help. What is this but the sympathy, the trust, the spirit of sacrifice,, the gentle ness, the faith, the readiness, to do and to bear, which, blended together, make the chain that binds us to our homes? Harper's Bazar. Where Steel Is Made. The general aspect of the interior of a converting house at night is at once startling and grandly impressive. . Here heat, "flame and liquid. " m'efal are ever present; locomotives-whistle ""and puff, dragging .-with clatter5 and clang- huge ladles-of " molten "ironpthe" lurid light, flashing and flaming, that illuminates the scene, throws shadows so intensely black that they suggest "the "black fire" of Milton, for in such a place it is im possible for a shadow to be cool; half naked, muscular - men, begrimed with sweat and dust,:fii$ about; clouds' of st'eani '"arise"' from '"attempt to cool in soirie 'degree 'the roasting earth of ' the floor; converters roar, vibrato and vomit fiifines mingled with -splashes 'of metal from'' their ..white hot; throats; at inter vals the scorching air is filled with a raia of coruscating burning iron. - Ingot molds lift mouths prched with a thirst that can only be appeased for a short time by streams of liquid steel that run gurgling into them; the stalwart cranes rise, swing and fall, loading scores of tons of red hot .steel upon cars of iron; all these conditions and circumstances combine to make' ail igneous total more suggestive of the realms of. Pluto than any 6ther in the'whbte range ot metal lurgic.. arts.-rWF. JDurf ee in. Popular Science Monthly v :v When Animals Are "Charmed." Kalm mentions having seen a rattle snake "lying at the bottom of a tree on which a squirrel tvas 'seated, fixing its eyes on the little, animal, which from that moment cannot move or escape, but begins a" doleful, outcry, comes toward the snake, runs a little bit away, comes nearer, and finally is swallowed." But, as if to show that, this result of bewil derment is not all to be put down to the. eye ayone", Dr. Arfarew Smith says: "F have heard of cases in which ante lopes and other quadrupeds have been so bewildered by the sudden appearance of crocodiles, by the grimaces and con tortions, they practiced, e. to be unable to fly or move-from the spot toward which - the crocodiles were approaching to seize them."..; . .- This power is in the human animal often developed to a very great extent, and the part that the eye plays in fasci nating a fellow creature by mesmerism thus opening the way to almost in finite psychical results and unveiling un known depths of possibility is decidedly great in proportion to the magnetic force of the systemi -or rather the mind, for which it acts. Chambers' Journal. Why a Mosquito' Bite Hurts. Humboldt, who was a firm believer in the poisonous nature of the mosquito bite, considered the sucking out of the poison to be the explanation of the pain lessness of ome- wounds. He affirmed that if the insect were allowed to suck to satiety no, swelling took place, and no pain was left behind, and considered that when pain was produced it resulted from the hasty interruption of the proc ess of sucking, since then the last in fused poison -would not be able to be withdrawn. - He experimented with one of the mpst virulent species, allowing it gently to settle on the back of bis hand, and reports of it: " . r "I observed that the pain, though vio lent in tb-i beginning, diminishes in pro portion as the insect continues to suck, and ceases altogether when it volunta rily flies away. " Knowledge. Glass and Paste Diamonds. ' . .- Of late years paste diamonds, imita tion . diamonds, quartz diamonds and glass diamonds have .been placed upon the market in quantities, and it is difficult to distinguish'" many of these from, the genuinet articles. They are cut .in' i $he . most : approved Btyle, and a gocd quartz diamond, cut in the ihape of a brilliant, makes a very effect ive show. - Its value, however, is less than one-twentieth of that of a diamond of similar size and shape. Glass cut in prism shape will illustrate the value of angles in any transparent body, and glass diamonds can often be cut so . that they resemble greatly the pure water gems. - Fine, large diamonds are so very expensive that many wealthy people prefer to wear -imitations on gen eral occasions and leave the genuine stones for only very important and special times. George E. Walsh in New York Epoch. - The Ivory Nut in South America. The ivory nut is grown in the equato rial regions in South America. The principal point of shipment is Colon, on the Isthmus of Panama. Like the ba nana, the ivory nut- is perennial in its native clime, and may be found in all Stages froni the bud. fto the ripened nut at all ' Reasons 6t the year. - The nuts grow in great bunches of about fifty in cased in a shell, as are chestnuts in the "burr, though the shell outwardly resem bles in roughness the surface of a pine apple. The entire cluster of nuts in this shell is as big as a man's head. This shell cames off easily after the nuts are ripe. - At this stage they fall from the trees which are fourteen or fifteen feet in heigh t-and are packed on the backs of natives to the points of shipment They are about the color of an unwashed last year's potato and as hard as an ele phant's tus.
