QUEEr? NAMES IN HAW Ail.
One Native Is Csl! d ’‘the Man Who
Washes His Dimples."
Tlic natives <>l Hawaii are -angu
larly pi'tu: e>que in their choice of
names. Mr. the LiiieLthe
Ghost, the Fool. the Man Aho
Washes Hi- Diinpie>. Mrs. Oyster,
the Wearv Lizard, the Husband oi
Kaneia (a male god), the Great
Kettle, the First Nose, the Atlantic
Ocean, the Stomach, Poor Pussy.
Mrs. Turkey, the Tenth Heaven,
are all names that have appeared in
the city directory.
They are often careless of the
gender or appropriateness of the
names they take. A householder
on Beretania street. Honolulu, is
called the Pretty Woman (Wahine
Maikai). A male infant was lately
christened Mrs. Tompkins, one lit
tle girl is named Samson, another
the Man; Susan (Kukcna) is a boy.
so are Polly Sarah, Jane Peter and
Henry Ann. A pretty little maid
has been named by her fond par
ents the Pigsty (Hale Pua). For
some unknown reason —or for no
reason at all —one boy is named the
Rat Eater (Karaea Oi i Ole).
The Rev. Dr. Coan of Hawaii
possessed the love of his flock. One
morning a child was presented for
baptism whose name was given by
the parents, Mikia. When the cere
mony was finished the parents as
sured the doctor that they had nam
ed the baby for him. “But my
name is not Michael,” said the doc
tor. supposing Mikia to be aimed
thereat. “We always hear your wife
call you Mikia!” answered the
mother. She had mistaken Mrs.
Coan’s familiar “my dear” for her
husband’s given name.
An old servant in Dr. Wight's
family, at Kohala, caused her grand
child to be baptized in church the
Doctor (Kauka), that was its only
name. Byway of compliment to
the early physicians, many children
were named alter their drugs, as
Joseph Squills, Miss Rhubarb, the
Emetic, the Doctor Who Peeps In
at a Door.
Names uncomplimentary, or even
disgusting, are willingly borne by
their owners; others convey a pleas
ing and graceful sentiment. Among
the latter are the A”ch of Heaven
(Ka Pia Lani), the River of Twi
light (Ka Wia Linla), the Delicate
Wreath (Ka Lei ma Lii). The name
of Liliuokalani, the former queen,
means a Lily In the Sky.—Youth’s
Companion.
Historical Novels.
To produce a so called historical
novel has been attempted by many,
but with indifferent success by the
majority, so far as history is con
cerned. Alike the best known and
the most successful authors of this
class are Scott, Kingsley and Lyt
ton. In grouping books of this
type in an order of merit based on
their historical worth it cannot be
denied that “The Last of the Bar
ons” should be awarded the first
place, with “Henry Esmond” and
“Hereward the Wake” bracketed as
second. Victor Hugo’s “L’Histoire
d’un Crime.” which has been called
“the apotheosis of the special corre
spondent,” is a notable example of
a contemporary history written un
der a thin disguise of fiction. —
Pearson’s.
The Eagle and the Lion.
A young curate who was showing
an American girl through an old
English cathedral enjoyed her ap
preciation of a handsome lectern.
The Bible rested on the outspread
wings of a powerful wrought bronze
eagle. At the base of the lectern
another symbol of the gospel was
presented in the form of a great
lion.
The clergyman yielded to the
temptation to banter the fair visi
tor a bit.
“We have a lion to watch the
eagle,” he remarked.
“Yes,” flashed the answer, “but
the eagle stays on top.”
The Highest Windmill.
The highest windmill in England
is the Fligh Mill at Great Yar
mouth. It is believed also to be the
highest in the world. Built in
1812 at a total cost of $50,000, its
height in brick is 100 feet, and the
wooden cage on the summit furthei
increases this another ten feet. In
a high wind the mill works at thirty
horsepower and is capable of grind
ing nine coomb (an old English
measure of four bushels) of wheat
an hour or crushing ten coomb of
oats an hour.
Perjury.
There is practically no difference
in law between an oath and an af
firmation. False testimony given
under either is perjury, punishable
by a term in the penitentiary. An
oath is sworn to on the Bible. Per
son- who object to tostifving under
that form are permitted to make
affirmation of the facts to which,
they testify. The one form of testi
fying is just as binding as the other.
I
& ’••Uf&SKATIC CURIO
Cid Swedish Z'.ier Piece Weighs
Thirty-cr.e Pounds.
One of t!:e hugest coins ever
struck, being 23L.- bv 13 inches and
weighing tfialy-oiie pounds, is in
the possession of the American Nu
mismatic society and is shown in
one of the glass cases in the main
exhibition room. The piece is of
copper, and its coinage value in
1659 was S Swedish dalers —equiva-
lent to about $5.20 Aiiierican
money. As a curio and rarity its
value has now multiplied at least
a hundredfold.
In general appearance the com is
a rectangular ingot, with five large,
round stamps punched in it, in
each corner and one in the center.
Stamps were placed in the corners
to prevent “clipping.” Each cor
ner stamp carries the Swedish
crown in the center and the date,
1659. Around the edge is tin? in
scription of Carolus Gustavus X„
the reigning king. The center
stamp states the value at $8 in
silver.
Coins of this kind were called
“plate money.” Sweden turned
them out continuously for 110
years, beginning in 16 19. in the
reign of Christina, daughter of
Gustavus Adolphus, in denomina
tions of eight, four, two, one and
half daler pieces, with pieces oi
five and three dalers in one year
The coinage had been in progress
ten years when the specimen now
here was struck. In 1715 the Swed
ish government melted down 116
bronze cannon and made them into
86,760 plate money dalers.
Such large pieces of pure copper
were issued as money in order to
find an outlet for the products of
the Swedish copper mines without
depreciating the value of the metal.
Daler and half daler pieces are
most often found; twos and fours
are scarce, and the eight dale?
pieces are no longer to be seen in
Europe' except in the large mu
seums.—New York World.
Two Meanings.
The different meanings that a
simple turn of expression can give
a word are often curious and some
times amusing. An anecdote of
Charles Lamb, the famous English
author, illustrates this very pleas
antly.
On a wet, miserable, foggy day in
London he was accosted by a beg
gar with:
“Please, sir, bestow a little char
ity upon a poor, destitute woman.
Believe me, sir, I have seen better
days.”
“So have I,” said Lamb, handing
the poor creature a shilling, “sc
have I. It’s a miserable day, even
for London.”
A similar illustration is of the
man who saw some mischievous
boys carrying off fruit from his or
chard.
“What are you about ?” he called
lustily.
“About going!” called one of
them, as the marauders disappeared
over the fence.
Reed’s Caustic Wit.
Thomas B. Reed was noted for
his quick retorts, satirical as well
as humorous. When he was “czar’
of the house of representatives he
and Congressman Springer of Illi
nois had many parliamentary tilts.
Reed one day said of Springer, “He
never opens his mouth without sub
tracting fr®m the sum total of hu
man knowledge.” In protesting
against one of Reed’s decisions
Springer closed a speech in the
house with Clay's well known
words, “Mr. Speaker, 1 would rathei
be right than president.” “The
gentleman from Illinois will nevei
be either,” said Reed.
Early Clocks.
Many clocks with weights and
wheels were in use in England dur
ing Chaucer’s time, and most of
the monasteries of the fourteenth
century possessed clocks, though
these were used to show the astro
nomical movements as well as the
passage of hours. Throughout the
fifteenth century clocks were made
mostly by armorers and black
smiths, and they were constructed
of iron and steel.
I nspiration.
Wherever a man has done well in
the arts, the vision of some inspir
ing woman is behind his work * * *
famous and lovely women, long
dead, whose kisses are imperishable
in tone or pigment or tale; women
who called to themselves for a little
space the big souled men of their
time and sent them away illustrious.
