HAWAUANS DYING OFF.
Only a Few Genuine Sandwich
Islanders Remaining.
4 ACerrj Race 1Vhoe )anre. Are Cl
brated The Chluvoe nnd Hunukns Pop
ulatlnff the Island nnd Becom
ing Prosperous.
One of the saddest spectacles In
Hawaii is the rapid decay of the native
race. Disease and death have made
heavy inroads among them. More even
than the Saraoans and Tahitians they
seem to absorb all tho vices of the
white race. They are pleasure-loving ,
Indolent, good-natured and honest, but
virtue among them is practically un
known. It is still tho custom to give
a guest the companionship of the wife
or the most attractive daughter; in fact,
the question of morality docs not bother
the native Hawaiian, and he frankly
admits it. The Chinese have introduced
the vice of opium smoking, and they
also bring in large .quantities of rice
brandy, which the native Hawaiian
.eves next to "old square fuse," as they
call gin.
The Hawaiian families are steadily
decreasing in size and every census sees
a shrinkage in the already small num
ber of this doomed race. The census ol
1SS4 gave 44,232 Ilawaiians and half
castes, that of 1S90 38,054, a loss of 5,57(
in six years. The Chinese now numbei
15,299, the Japanese 12,244 and the Port
uguese 9,100. Of thir- large number ol
Chinese only about .00 are women
Hence we find John Chinaman selectinf
wives from the native girls, who are
only too glad to marry Chinese, bccaus
they are better tfeated than by men o'
their own race. They arc indulgent
husbands and they love to see theii
women finely dressed, but when thej
return to China there is no record o'
any Chinaman taking his Hawaiian wife
The women are left behind and seldorr
is any provision made for the suppor1
of themselves and their children. Tin
Japanese mix little with the Ilawaiians
One . peculiar thing which is worthj
the attention of the student of ethnol
ogy is that the crossing of the Chinese
and Ilawaiians make a better race,
physically and mentally, than either ol
the originals. Some of the brightest
young men in Hawaii have Chincst
fathers and Kunaka mothers. These
half-castes are remarkably shrewd ir
business, while they have the agreeable
manners of the Ilawaiians. The l'ortu
guese are thrifty, but they are a pool
race. They arc now (locking over tr
California, and are gring into the fruit
and vineyard districts, where theii
labor will certainly be better than that
of the Chinese, for they are eager tf
buy homes and settle. Civilized vic-ef
and diseases and the leprosy threateni
to wipe out the native Ilawaiians in the
next thirty years. They are disappear

New Zealand, and for the same reason

NOBLEMEN IN CV7I1 ZL BLAND.
Plenty of Titled lrr.o "!r:-i l' Ho Fount
In the LIIlU- -.
A few years ago the question wai
asked: "Does nobility Miil exist ir
Switzerland?" And no oie w:i able U
mswer it. Of all the thoii;,jiH-:i rf Enf
lish folk who haunt the Swiss Itolcli
not one, it would seem, laid inquire!
whether Rudolph von Hrla-li. v.-host

noblesse which hoh'.s it:.elf lii't
that it thinks but sii.'htly - f tin
British legation. Vet from the .laraU
the Tjugane there is hamiy nnton
there is perhaps no cantin--in v.-liirh
according to Temple liar, noble familiei
are not to be found. Some, of ihese
such as the Plantns and the l!,iols o
Graubunden, have turned their e.-iergj
into modern channels and make tliei j
fortunes, like the llaasers or Hie Sell I
ers,out of the English and the Americai
tourist. Others, like the. Vim Allmen
have sunk into a humbler rank. liu
the greater part remain in i.tatu quo
still enjoying in the towns, r in the
country a social prestige that varief
with their wealth and their intelligence
For, from the very nature of the case
all Swifts nobility is more or less an'.'ient
and is therefore still venerable in a re
public which has not yet east olT a
reverence for historic tradition. Tht
Valais, for instance, contains a vcrj
ancient noblesse, some of whom, as tin
de Sepibus and the dc Coeatrix, beai
Latin names, whether or not thej
claim a Roman descent. And a Ilomai
descent assuredly is claimed by thi
Bernese family of Lentulus. v. ho affili
ate themselves to that most iihrMrioui
houseof the (lens Cornelia, lit a con
glomerate nation like the Swiss tin
fountains of honor have k-i n nurner
on. Some of the nobility owe theb
distinction to the empire or to tin
dnkM of Anitria; some to the dukes ft
.wm4wtmon. founder f' Tt- -Inhourg;
some to the dultcs ot Itur
gundy; some, who were Huguenots. t
the kings of France, and some to trii
more modern ones even to the kings a
Prussia.

Sometimes families who desire to
bury their dead in the clothing worn in

Instances substitute less costly imita

A DAILY ANNIVERSARY.
Tho Dcvlrc t-y XV'.; . . :r.ir:u:ton Wlf.
Ilcrps Her . irttl Home.
The wife of a young- attorney in
Washington, a v.-ry charming woman,
loves her husband dearly, and the same
may be said of his feelings for her.
Still, he cannot help being annoyed oc-casional-y
at her freaks. They hadn't
been nmrricd a week before she began
to develop anniversary tendencies. It
wa3 "five days and six hours" or
"seven days and ten minutes" since they
were married. That went fairly well
during the wedding journey stage, says
the Post, but it w3 kept up wonder
fully, till she would say: "It is a year,
one month, three day3 and four hours
since we were married." These attacks
of prociseness occurred whenever
George showed symptoms of going tc
his club, or when any of his friend
called on him t j go. out with them.
After a baby was born there came now
anniversaries to celebrate, liaby's teeth
baby's wails aud baby's first lisps be
came important dates. All the old an
niversaries wore kept, however, just the
same, nnd now the young husband1
stay3 home every night in the week tc
keep anniversaries. She has four tc
some days, and if she thinks he is rest
loss an.l meditating an escape, when
emergencies ari so and he is tempted to
go to the theat- r with any of his old
chumr,, that iapyniom young wife can
count '.p so many anniversaries that
nobody would ever dare to suggest
George ;r ling niiyu h.-re. Indeed, it has
noma to su.h a pass that the boj-s ask
George t J go somewhere, simply to hear
him say: "I ct'3'1. I must go home.
We've been mar -iej exactly three years,
five months, thn e weeks ond four days
to-day. I've rot t-n keep the anniver
sary." (.'.io ;::vei tie u-ge just one night
off in a yosr. a:v thinks, .she does won
ders when : 1: - does that, and George
ought t-.) ofier t,'ia i!;s for the rest of the
, year that hs 'vi 1 that one night. Then
he goes to class reunion, George does.

A resident of the suburbs, a man of
discernment, contributes the following
to the Boston Journal:
It is better to let the heels of your
shoes go unblockcncd than to miss
train.
It docs not pay to invest in accident
insurance policies. The accident al
ways happens to some other train than
the one in which you arc traveling.
Late to bed and early to rise will
shorten the road to your home la the
skies.
Always try to eat nt least one meal
each v.-eele with your family. It keeps
up the acquaintance uud conduces to
sociability.
Late trains are not unmixed evils.
Sometimes you start to the station with
a few minutes to spare, intending to
travel on the nine o'clock train, and are
just in time to catch the eight o'clock
train, which has come along fifty-five
minutes late.
Be not elecclved bv ecstatic visions of
rapid transit, ll wui not come iu your

thanks you for it. control your surprise.

is a hands; ime. morocco-covered Bible of
large octavo size. It is the Bible that
was purehusfd eight years ngo to ad
minister the oath of olliee to President
Cleveland at his inauguration on March
I. It had been the invariable custom
before the inauguration of Mr. Cleve
land to purchase u Bible for use at the
inauguration ceremony and to present
this interesting memento afterward to
some member of the president's family.
Following this custom, the clerk pur
chased a Bible to use in the inaugura
tion of President Cleveland, but Mr.
Cleveland .notified the committee of ar
rangements of the senate that ho wished
to take the oath on the Bible given to
him by his mother when, as a young
man, he started out in the world to
make his fortune. The committee nat
urally respected this sentiment of the
president-elect and so Mr. Cleveland
took the oath on his mother's Bible. It
was a small book, morocco bound and
gilt-edged. So far as is known hero,
Mr. Cleveland still has the book, and in
the belief that it will bo used tit tbe
coming ceremony the clerk of the su
preme court has not purchased a
Bible to be used on that occasion. It
was planned four yours ago to use the
Bible purchased in 1 885 ti t the ceremony
3f 1889; but after considering the mat
ter the clerk determined to purchase
another Bible for Mr. Harrison.

Speaking of the remarkable feats of
marine engineers, the Marine Journal
recalls the achievement of Biehard
Peck, who at ono time had charge of
the single engine of the old City of Vera
3ruz coming up from Havana. South
of U alter as the piston rod went to
smash, breaking into three pieces. But
Pock, after twenty-four hourH of con
tinuous labor, actually mended that
piston so that it was strong and true
enough to do its part with the rest of
the machinery, and he brought his ship
into New York harbor steaming six
knots. This was a deed which, in the
opinion of the Boston Journal, quite
jelipses even the recent notable per
formance of Engineer Tomlinson, of the
Uuibria.

Mr. Kirk Munroe describes in the
Cosmopolitan a cuioo trip in company
with two young Seuiinolo Indians, Mic
;ochee anil Kowika, who were engaged
in their regular occupation of hunting
alligators for their hides. The canoe
was a dugout, made by Miecochee him
self out of a huge eyprus log. The trio
made camp late iu the afternoon, and
liter awhile .Mr. Munroe discovered
what he had not before suspected that
the hunting was to be done at night.
Il.wUncss had hardly fallen before
the bellowing ol' alligators was hoard
a sound much like the roar of an angry
bull. Mi -eoehee hsu-ncd with evident
satisfaction. "Allapattu plenty. Me
caleli 'cm, I neali'"
We had liilled live of the monsters
when we turned our prow up stream.
Miecochee w iei.h'il his push pole from
the stern, Kowiliti sat in the middle of
the canoe, while I, with jack light on
my head anil rille in hand, occupied tho
positionof honor in the bow.
'Ihe alligators had ceased their muttering.-,
and I hud begun to think that
we had killed or frightened them ulL
Just then I was startled by a slight
motion on the bank but a few yards
away. At the same instant two coals
of fire gleamed through the blackness.
What could they be? I was alxint to
speak, w hen a sharp "nist" from be
hind lohl un; tli.it tin; moment for
action had come. Taking a hasty aim
al fine of the lurid coals, I llred.
The report of the rille was followed
by such a wild rush into the witter, such
whirling and splashing, such showers
of spray find bloody foam that it was
as if a small cyclone hail been dropped
from I he heavens into that, quiet spot.
Little Kowika screamed in bis excite
ment, bnl Mii-eo.-hee only expressed his
l.sp'.-us'ire at my bad shot by mutter
"lb. -li-wa-gcs!' I leap bad!"

Everybody who has seen a police
court llible knows what a grimy, greasy,
and generally unprepossessing volume
it is. Held by every variety of dirty
hands.kissed fi-eijueut ly by not over
clean lips and left, during off hours in
eltisty corners, it soon becomes, as far as
appearance goes, a vagrant among
books, and one that people with in
stincts of cleanliness would not dare to
handle for any length of time.
The Bible in one of Ibe uptown police
courts having revived such rough
usage during it-, long service that it
threatened to f ill apai t, one of the olli
ee rs tied it tog -ther with a piece of
twine, and in this shape it has been do
ing duty ever since. This b ittered vet
eran was the cause of a brief sensation
in court the oilier day, says tbe New
York Cuunnoi-cijl Advcrti .or. As the
witness in an assault and battery ease
was handed the book t:i swear in his
evidence the string broke and the In
terior parted company with tbe covers.
The witness picked up the former
and looked thr .ogh its pages with a
smile. "Is it this ye want me to swear
on, ycr honorV be queried.
"That is the llil.lt-. s:r."
"Be t !i' powers, it's a dictionary!"
And so it was.
