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.
