W. fcmthe, a resident of Hawaii, who formcrl lived in Chenango count, tells somo Interesting fans regarding Uncle Sam's new acquisition, showing life as it exists among the lower cla-sse. Mr. Smthe lived in Hawaii for fifteen ears and was a member of President Dole s first as.-em-blv. He was al-o connected with the Ha waiian Star, and his intimate acquaintance vith tho countr and its people makes his views of more than usual interest at the present time. "From superstition or caprice." said Sir. Stnthe, "the Hawaii ins give to the lower animals the n lines of men and gods. Men and gods, on the other hand, receive names as quaint anil inappropriate as our own Knglish names are seen to bo if we stud them The si me names are bestowed on males and females.

' I remember an hour passeel In the native church at Walalua. a great square building, not even possessing a chimne to relieve its barnlike outline, awkward, hvdra-head-ed cactuses sprawling in the hot sand at the doorway, an immediate velplng of wolf ish curs from neighboring huts as each attendant on the services passed along the road to church. The Chinaman who has a store near the church owned a clock which formerlv controlled the hour of service, but since its wheels have rusted and the timepiece delights to range two or three hours aheid of time. " The pastor's dinner bell, heard from the other end of the village, served as a church bell, which Is sounded about an hour before the service. The sexton pulls merril at the rope in the doorwav of the church until mine of the worshipers ap proach. Pausing awhile for conversation, he then rings more slowlv and with a gradual waning effort until all "ounds cease and the congregation is assembled Kverthingr Is Conentlonnl.

Throughout the building loud snores were occasionally heard. Two little bo s behind the preacher's desk skirmish ed with umbrellas One of the bovs was driven to the wall- the father of the de feateil one went from the liody of the church nnd roughly led away the boy who discomfited his child Young men and oung women walked down the aisle or stepped over the backs of seats to get water, often returning with a calabash for a friend In pite of these interruptions the main portion of the assemblage appear ed to be undisturbed "An old woman was seized with a head ache and sign iled to a friend to come over and kntad her muscles, native fashion, which was dene while her husband sn he sido her, never taking his tes from the preacher. "If a native woman sings well she is not placed In the choir 'like a ptacoek.' a na tive preacher rem irked to me Women ai wavs get squaking voices if the are praised, like other birds ' Unfortunatcl the few good voices in the audience have no support and the music I frightful. Pausing in his part (he is. by the way, the onl tenor voice In the choir), a oung man takes from his pocket a small mirror ai d a tomb: he carefull arranges his tie and combs his hair in full view of the audience.

The ncque is what the Italians call jetta tore If a man, according to the S intlago folks, meets a neque on his w.i some seri ous misfortune is suro to happen to him be fore the day Is over. His only salvation is to take a couple of seeds of a tree called caajabos and rub them In his hands As one of th mo-t valuibic presents that could be given to any one in this time of war, a Smtiigo countrvman gave the writer two -eeds of the e iaj ilios to guard himself against the baneful iiitiuenee of the neeiue-. On the morning of Julv 1. when the bom bardment of Santiago b the American arm bttjan the writer was seated at the. door of a house in LI I'ozo, light behind the batter that was -helling tht fort of Sun Juan The whole cit of Santiago was there before our ees and the Sp iniards eliil not sretm to heed the eleadiv lire of our guns Twent -seven shells had already been fired at them without an answer from the enein. Just then a Cuban mounted upon a mule appeared from behind tht bushes upon the scene of action Borne fifty Cu bans were around the hou-e, and as soon as their countr man was seen one of them exclaimed 'There is a neque, gentlemen; we are lost' ' These words were scarcel uttered before the caajabos seeds were being Industri ous! rubbed bv man Cuban fingers. The lir-t Spanish -hell from the battery of San Juan came whittling over our heads and struck the roof of the house Three Cubans fell wounded aruuiul us Then si more shells fell at the door and on the roof and the plateau In front of the house, Infi'cting a loss of thirteen Cubans nnd fifteen American0 While our batterv was answering the Spanish lire, and It was not -ilenceii for nearl an hour, the house was evacuattd by the non-combatnnts who had occupieil it There was a hue run to the woods of newspaper reporters and ho-pital ittcndants The writer was thrown fiat on the ground and trampled on bv the fugi tives, while Spanish shells were bursting near him It was a scene to laugh at now. but there could be nothing more serious then. It was a specially solemn moment for the writer, for he fell behind a mule that was tied to a tree at tire right side of the house and began kicking viciously at the terrified crowd that had di-turbed him. When the tremendous fight was over the writer made a thorough investigation of the whole -urroundings The mule was peace full eating grass around the tree abso luteh unhurt. Over thirtv Spanish shells had fnlltn around him This is a wonder Indeed," exclaimed someone. A negro, who understood the cause of our astonishment and seemed to be the owner of'the mule, showed us with a triumphant air two seeds of caajabos tied at the tail of this animal Another Incident in which a neque plaed a role happened tw6 davs ago at a camp liftv vards from the ho-pltal of the Tirst division and some hundred ards from Gen eral Shafter's headquarter-. After a ride of thirteen miles on hor-eback, under a burning sun the writer stopped there and was courttouslv invited to dinner bv a friend While he was seated on the ground enjoing his meal the negro servant camo trembling forward and said "General we are going to be killed If we don t move from here " "Whj ?" we all asked at once. "Because Don Miguel, the neque, is en camped near us, on the other side of the hospital." V e laughed at the news, to the great dis comfiture of the negro, and after our meal we began a comfort tble siesta in the ham mocks Wo were sound asleep when two detonations awoke us A Mauser bullet went through our tents, opening two holes In the direction of the hospital We jumped to our guns, and at the -ame time Ameri can soldltrs poured from General Shatter s camp firing at the trees and bushes at tho general shout of "Spanish sharpshooters near' ' The negro, trembling behind the tent, was rubbing his caHjabos seeds. In less than a minute over MO -hots were sent among the cocoanut trees, but as no fire a returned an officer ordered our sol diers to cea-e firing. A tloctor came then from the ho-pital announcing that two of his nurses were wounded bj the two first shots suppo-ed lo be from the Spani-h Next morning the nigro isfd permission to go to the front and join the Cuban arm.

From the London Globe A Berlin journal publi-hes the following account from the pen of a well known.Ger man traveler of an audience granted by the emperor of China to the foreign ambassa dors at Peking The writer was the only i on-diplomatic pe rson present. Headed b the highe-t dignitarie- of the Celestial empire, our procession moved on between rows of privv chancellors of the first cla-r. bod guarels armed with bows and arrows, civic authorities holding valu able old swords under their arms, and un armed soldiers of the palace. We passed by the black tents with the little, peeping windows, in which the ambassadors fore gathertsl in former ears before they weru received by the emperor. Silently and pompously we pa-sed over the dark carpet woven out of black camel's hair and ascended some steps leading to the widely opened folding doors of a build ing, from the front wail of which the out s'de. had peeled off, letving the casing and timbers exposed to view, molely and worm eaten Thus we reached tho autlience chamber and were within three pices of the "son of heavea," Kouang Sou, the "ruler of the middle kingdom." He was seated upon a raiseel platform, approached bv hv steps and three stangwav-, while from the right and left two narrow paths also gave acces- to the dais. The latter and the balustrade were covered with retl eloth and trimmed with vellow. On either side of the emperor stood one of the Man churlan princes, upright, motionless, and witli a stonv stare, as though he were keeping watch over a bier. Exposes Onlj His Head. In this hall, the 'hall of the flowers of literature," the "son of heaven" sat before a table on the platform, so that onl the tipper portion of his body was visible. Ujior the table lay a staff, probably of jasper, the "scepter of good fortune. ' A small squ ire box, seemingly of antique cloisonne work, was said to contain the im perial -eal There were alto upon the table the plate for preparing Chinese ink, a tra for unusetl writing brushes, a rack for holding these brushes when In use. a box. of Indian ink, and a vase of water for making the writing fluid. All these ar ticles were made out of precious stones of the second rank, such as jasper, topaz, turquoise and the like. It seemed as if the emperor preferreil to have these u-e-ful articles before him as the Insignia of power, in-tead of the usual sword, scepter and orb His majesty looks older than he really is. With sunken head and ellow face, he looked shly at the assembled diplo mats, and his heavy ees were lit up for the occasion by opium or morphin. A sor rowful, wear" and rather childish smile plaed about his mouth. When his lips are parteel his long. Irregular, yellow teeth appear, and there are great hollows -In either cheek. His face is nor entirely wanting In svmpathy, but rather betokens Indifference, and from Its features nothing of interest can be read. In fact, the em peror Impressed me as being self-restrained cold, apathetic, wanting in ca pacit, worn out and as though half dead. Makes a rathetic Picture. I felt that whatever passed before his ees had not the slightest interest for him; ami that it mattered not in the leat to him whether he understood the meaning of the ceremonv. 1 mav , indeeel, be wrong In my judgment, and it ma be that the emperor of China it a highly intelligent monarch, educated, well read, a keen student and anxious for the welfare of his people. I ma lie cntirel wrong, but I cannot be lieve that I am. A man who wear- a look as If lire was a burden to him must surely be on the downward grade. I must be bold enough to renrtduce the son of heaven" as I saw him and as he struck me and not as others would wish me to picture him. For a quarter of an hour I stooii onlv three paces from the emnercr of the Celes tial empire, and I watched him narrow 1 the whole time: there stole over me i feel ing of regretful sinpathv with this poten tate, who govern- more than tirt.fXPD.OjO peo ple from the ruined chambers of a vast prison liou-e After a deathlv silence of some minutes the do en of the diplomatic corps Colonel Denhv minister of the United.

From the San Francisco CThroslcIe. To experience the true poetry of motion one must try surf riding. There is some thing about going thirty miles an hour on the trest of a white-foamed breaker, ever yawnirg and surging to overwhelm 0u and give ou a battle for your life, but tver, by the impotent e ot its own wrath. tirring ou on in exhilaration and safety that makes tho blood tingle and raises the mere pleasure of p.isitil existence! to the nlane of intellectual ccstas. There is all in it that there is in coasting or tobog ganing or shooting the chutes and a great deal more besides1, something so t-ubtle that it tan onl be felt, not described, anil ct it i- to rtal, eo powerful, so embrac ing that it takes hold of ven the most un poetlcal nature, facinates and enthralls It. The n itlve Hawaiian, in all his con quests in an environment which did not offer many material aids to advancement, proved his possession of high intellectual qualities and capacity for attainment in no more conclusive manner than when he read In the rolling -erf this natures secret of motive power. Since the waters were gathered together and called sea the surf has been rolling in in long breakTs upon ever shore the ocean laves. But it was the Hawaiian alone of all the son- of earth and sea who discovered Its -ubtle power and the subtle power to control and utilize it Tho art of surf riding is indigenojs to the Hawaiian i-Iandt. To see a frail out rigger tanoe. itself a monument te the patience and skill whieh hollowed and shaped it with rude tools from the trunk of a koa tree, glide with almost the swift ness and grace of an eaglo in flight liefore a vvhlte-trested breaker, without tremor or a jir from the argr waters behind it. is .i -Uht worth a long journey to see. To be In the canoe, to txperienee tht annihilation of time and space, to be alwas about to be overwhelmed, but nlvvas escaping, is a sensation worth a life's ambition to feel. But ju-t a little more vivid, just a little more exhilarating. Just a little more in-ten-e than -arf-tanoe riding Is surf-board riding. Width of the two pastimes i the earlitr in conception and the older in prac tice it i- impossible to sav. Tradition i silent on the subjett. and both antedate histor. There Is reason to believe that the surf board, being the -Impler implement, came before the canoe. However that nav be. the conditions which admit or -urf-boat riding are rarer man those of -urf canoeing, and though the two have been krown and dee-enbed -inco Captain Cook discovered these islands, it is onlv- within the last few week that actual pictares of surf-board riding bv instantaneous photog raphy, showing It as It Is and correcting erroneous impressions regarding It. as the same means torrected the traditional im pressions of the horses movements' la run ning, have been procured. The conditions of surf-boat ridinF; re quire a long panel beach, gentlv and evenly sloping for a lond distance Into the tea, without rocks or depressions, so that the surf will roil in long sweeping breakers with a uniform -seed from the time they rorm till the waste and spend themselves on the shore. Surf canoeing doe not re ejuire nearly such uniform nor perfect con ditions, because in the canoe the speed can ne ateelerated or diminished by the use of paddles to keep in exactlv the right posi tion with relation to the rolling breaker to get its forward motion For ear, past there" has been no place n.ea51 HnIulu where the condition were right for surf-board riding, and it became almost a lost art. Up to a few months ago there was onlv one native known in Honolulu who could ride the surf board standing upon it. But within the last two .- .ifeeiPir.t,h.'- "aml "P" hi,s formed off the WaikikI beach right in front of the suburban residence of Colonel George W. Macfarlane. which gives the perfect conditions. Surf-board riding has in con .seejuenee been revived. ha In fact, become a fad. and a large number of people, both the a t natuts- hae become expert In The surf board is five or six feet long and rrom twelve to sixteen Inches wide near the forward end. drawn to a rounded point in front and tapering slightly aft. In gen eral outlne It resembles a eoffln lid It it perfect! tlat on the upper side, but eleep- uneier side. To ride it the rider goes out as far as he can in the water on the shelv ing bearh: then, facing the hore. holds the board up in front of him. point upmost, the bottom or under side resting on his middle. Just as the rolling motion of an aelvancing breaker reaches him he gives a spring up ward and forward bringing the board tlat upon the water with rather more than half hi- bod upon it. The springing movement gives a forward motion to himself and the board, which he aelels to bv- kicking against tho rolling wall of water behind him until his speed is jx ictly that of the breaker. 1 rom that point on. when the rider has acquired the art. the rolling motion of the surf carries him until it lands him high and eir on the shore There are three points in particular to be observed in surfboard riding. To spring at the right moment, to acquire the exact speed and direction of the breaker, and to keep both sides- of the board level. If one side gets a little deeper in the water than the other it drags, changes the direttioi. and the breaker is lost. From this point the next stage in pro-gre-sion in the art is to be able to rest one s elbows on the board and one s face in one's hands. To riele standing on the board, the rider gradually move- his body forward on it. then rises to his knees, and finally lo his feet. alwas keeping the edges of the board perfectly level. As the break ers roll in at about thirty miles an hour and the rider cannot go out into the water much deeper than up to his waist, because otherwise he cannot make the necessary initial spring, it can be seen that to ride standing requires not only great dexterity, but perfect conditions. But the triumph is worth the effort. Skillful riders can ride in conditions not perfett by being able to adiust their speed to the vnring speed of the breaker by using their hand as a paddle when they ftel they are going slower than the breaker, or as a drag w hen they feel they are going faster. Surf canoeing Is exactly the same In prin ciple, but the novite can enjoy It by going out with an experienced canoeist. Cupid's Stronghold.
