AS NAMED IN HAWAII NOMENCLATURE OF THE NATIVES I SINGULARLY PICTURESQUE. Mrs. Oyster, Atlantic Ocean and Stomach Are Examples—Male Infant Christened "Mrs. Tompkins,” Girl Named "Samson.” The natives of Hawaii are singularly picturesque in their choice of names. Mrs. Scissors, The Thief, The Ghost. The Pool. The Man Who M ashes His Dimples, Mrs Oyster, The Weary Lizard, The Husband of Kaneia (a male dog). The Great Kettle, The Nose, The Atlantic Ocean, The dtomach. 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 (Wahtne Malkai); a male infant was lately christened Mrs. Tompkins; one little girl is named Samson; another, The Man; Susan (Kukena) is a boy; so are Polly Sarah, Jane Peter and Henry Ann. A pretty little maid has been named by her fond parents The Pig Sty (Hale Pua). For some unknown reason —or for no reason at all—one boy is named The Kat Eater (Kamea Oil Ole). Reverend Doctor Coan of Hawaii possessed the love of his tlock. One morning a child was presented for baptism whose name was given by the parents, Mikia; when the ceremony was finished the parents assured the doctor that they had named the baby for him. “But my name is not Michael,” said the doctor, 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 Doctor Wight’s family, at Kohala, caused her grandchild to be baptized in church. The doctor (Kauka); that was its only name. Byway of compliment to the early physicians, many children w-ere named after 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 pleasing and graceful sentiment. Among the latter are the Arch of Heaven (Ka Ria Lani), The River of Twilight (Ka Wia Linla), The Delicate Wreath (Ka Lei ma Lil). The name of Liliu O Kalani, the queen now in retirement, means A Lily in the Sky.—Youth’s Companion. ’ —.J Under False Pretenses. Many persons are under the impression that America has few, if any, native plants worthy of cultivation in the home garden. They have been accustomed to look upon them as weeds and wild things, and so unfamiliar are they with native flowers that they fail to recognize them when they meet them outside their native haunts. A writer tells how he transplanted a stalk of goldenrod from a fence corner in the pasture to a place in his garden. It flourished luxuriantly, and sent up many stalks as high as a man’s head, each crowned with a great plume of brilliant flowers. A neighbor was attracted by the beauty of the plant, and declared it must have cost its owner some dollars. When told, however, that numbers of the same plant were flourishing behind his barn, he exclaimed: “What! You mean to tell me it's yallerweejf*” And he went away with the air of one who had been imposed upon.—Country Gentleman. Marks Historic German Spot. Standing approximately on the exact spot whe in 1414 Frederick of Hohenzollcrn, count of Nuremburg, with a heavy cannon partly destroyed Friesack, Germany, today rests a curiously built monument in the shape of a war piece made of log wheels, millstones and wood. The town lies on a branch of the Rhine in Prussia near Potsdam. Close to it is a large estate bearing the same name, whose fortified castle was captured by Frederick after a titter fight against the rebellious knight Dietrich von Quitzow. It was below the place where the cannon now stands that the Quitzows were intrenched. —Popular Mechanics. Accepted the Apology. A young practitioner appeared before a pompous old judge, who took offense at a remark the lawyer made criticizing his decision. "If you do not instantly apologize for that remark,” said the judge, "I shall commit you for contempt of court.” “Upon recollection, your honor,” instantly replied the young attorney, “I find that your honor was right and I was wrong, as your honor always is. ' The judge looked dubious, but finally said he would accept the apology. Voice of Expyience. "I’m learning to make fudge and taffy," said the prospective bride, “so that I can please my husband with some after we are wedded.” 'Fudge and taffy are what the men like/' responded the old married woman. “That suits ’em, whether you make it or whether you talk U, wy dear.” j - I "'ll II -
