FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH. The Sandwich Islanders have such wonderful skill in swimming that an account of their aquatic achievements might at once be called a regular fish story, and yet be perfectly true. Such a story is the following one, the heroine of which I have often seen in the island. The little schooner Ke-o la left Lahaina, May 9, 1840, for the island of Hawaii, a hundred miles to the southeast of that port. On the afternoon of the next day (Sunday) her ballast shifted in a squall of wind, and she suddenly capsized and sank, about ten miles from the nearest land. A few passengers were carried down with the vessel, and the rest were left floating in the water. To be shipwrecked is usually to a Hawaiian not so much a calamity as an inconvenience; but in this case, the swimmers found that a strong tidal currant from the southward were sweeping them away from the land. Their only chance was to reach the island that lay on the other side of the channel, twenty-five miles distant. A man named Manae called the ship's company around him in the water, and offered prayers for their deliverance from peril. Then the swimmers turned their faces in the direction of the current, and held their course toward the distant and deserted island of Ka-hoo-la-wee; they could just see its blue hills upon the northern horizon. Manae and his wife, Ka-lu a, had each saved from the lost schooner a covered bucket, upon which they swam. A cloudy night now closed over them, and the ship-wrecked company, deprived of the guidance of the stars, became widely scattered. A vigorous young man, floating upon the cover of the hatchway, succeeded in making land on Monday morning; but his brother and many others died before daylight. One very slender and apparently increase to its present size, and also have young, was a problem which they were unable to solve. PEOK'S ALLEGED HUMOR. Speaking of the ostrich reminds me of something. Readers will remember that a few years ago about twenty ostriches were brought to California, to experiment on raising feathers for the milliners of America. I do not know whether the feather business is a success or not; but I notice that every store nearly in California has ostrich eggs for sale. There is a hole in the end, where the meat has been removed, and the egg shell is for sale. The charge for each egg-shell is about two dollars and a half. I remembered the imported ostriches, and did not think but what the ostrich egg trade was all right until I had seen about a thousand dozen eggs on sale, and then I began to figure. I asked old Californians how many ostrich farms there were in the State, and the number of ostriches. I found that there were two farms, and about forty ostriches in all. Then I figured that probably ten out of the forty ostriches must be, in the nature of things, rooster ostriches, which would leave thirty female ostriches to lay all these eggs. If the eggs are on sale as plentifully in San Francisco and other parts of the State as they are where I have traveled, and I am told they are, these thirty female ostriches must set up nights and work more than ten hours a day to lay all those eggs. My first thought, after figuring on the millions of eggs on sale, was that the ostriches were overworked, and that some bold man ought to get up an ostrich strike, and demand shorter hours of labor and less hours, and I was going to champion the ostrich; but further investigation has shown me that the ostriches are not sufferer.

Man-ae and his wife, Ka-lu a, had each saved from the lost schooner a covered bucket, upon which they swam. A cloudy night now closed over them, and the ship-wrecked company, deprived of the guidance of the stars, became widely scattered. A vigorous young man, floating upon the cover of the hatchway, succeeded in making land on Monday morning; but his brother and many others died before daylight. One very slender and apparently weakly youth, unsupported by anything but his own skill in swimming, got ashore after being about twelve hours in the water. At sunrise, Ka-lu a and her husband found themselves alone on the ocean, and still far from land. Her bucket came to pieces and she swam unaided all Monday morning. Toward the evening the strength of Man-ae began to fail rapidly. They stopped and rested, floating on their backs; she lomi lomied him thoroughly, enaling his limbs until he was able to swim again, and they held their way against the current, which had now turned in a southerly direction, until they had the land in full view. But Man-ae now began to lose strength more rapidly than before. His heroic wife then placed him upon her back, making him hold on by the hair of her head, while she swimming upon the remaining bucket, towed him in the direction of the shore. It was not long, however, before his hands slipped and lost their power of grasping. She told him that he must pray, but he could only utter a sentence or two. She prayed for him to be allowed to revive him by she put his arms around her neck and hold them together with one hand while she swam with the other. Man-ae was now speechless. She redoubled her exertions, but even her almost incredible strength was beginning to fail. She felt a ghostly chill creep through the form that she bore upon her back. She paused. She placed her ear to her husband's breast to listen for the beating of his heart. He was dead! The tide had now turned again—this time in her favor. She was now within a mile of the shore, and she determined to bring the dead body to land. She carried it until she found that she must abandon it or perish. On Monday night she reached the shore, but in a condition of such exhaustion that she was almost beaten down by the breakers upon the beach. The salt water had inflamed her eyes, and she could scarcely see; it was all that she could do to crawl beyond the reach of the surf and lie down upon the sand. She had been thirty hours in the water, and had swami more than that number of miles. She slept soundly that night, but during Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday she wandered without finding inhabitants or food, and only saved herself from starvation eggs. If the eggs are on sale as plentifully in San Francisco and other parts of the State as they are where I have traveled, and I am told they are, these thirty female ostriches must set up nights and work more than ten hours a day to lay all those eggs. My first thought, after figuring on the millions of eggs on sale, was that the ostriches were overworked, and that some bold man ought to get up an ostrich strike, and demand shorter hours of labor and less hours, and I was going to champion the ostrich; but further investigation has shown me that the ostriches are not suffering to any alarming extent. The eggs on sale never, in this world, emanated from live ostriches. They are made of porcelain, or I do not know porcelain when I see it. Oh, California, how often would I have taken you to my bosom and loved you, and swore that there was no wooden nutmeg about you? How I have stood up for you when people at the East said that you were liars about climate, and deceivers about the value of mining stocks! I have been your friend, and now you have played a porcelain ostrich egg on me, and got me to pay three dollars for it. Oh, why have I praised your climate? Why have I taken your side against the Chinese, to be treated in this way? I am like the man who interfered to protect a wife from the wrath of her husband, and both husband and wife turned in and beat him. I interfered to cause the Chinaman to go away from fair California, and what is the result? The Chinaman starches the tail of my shirt and brings me "lice pudding" when I call for pie, and the native Californian sells me porcelain ostrich eggs. This is too much. Take back your porcelain ostrich egg. California, or I can never be more to you than a dear sister in the future. — Geo. W. Peek in his Sun. Boverages and Digestion. Some experiments on a large butcher's dog, with reference to the effects of sundry beverages on digestion, have been recently described by Signor Agata (Archiv fur Hygiene). The observations were made by means of a stomachal fistula (quite heated); the dog was fed on horse flesh and tibrin from ox blood. The following conclusions (which might not be strictly applicable to man, accustomed to the drinks named) were reached: 1. Water, water containing carbonic acid, tea and coffee in moderate amount, do not disturb digestion. 2. Beer, wine and brandy retard digestion considerably at first, till absorbed; and in the case of beer, the extractive matters act thus as well as the alcohol. Thus beer retards digestion more than wine containing the same quantity of alcohol. 3. Sugar (cane and grape) retards digestion considerably. 4. Common salt accelerates it distinctly. A Snake Story. The following from Lewiston, Me., is published in New York: For six months a young man named Fergus residing at these eggs.

On Monday night she reached the shore, but in a condition of such exhaustion that she was almost beaten down by the breakers upon the beach. The salt water had inflamed her eyes, and she could scarcely see; it was all that she could do to crawl beyond the reach of the surf and lie down upon the sand. She had been thirty hours in the water, and had swam more than that number of miles. She slept soundly that night, but during Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday she wandered without finding inhabitants or food, and only saved herself from starvation by drinking the rain water that stood in the hollows of the rocks. On Friday she discovered melons growing in a sandy place, and while eating them she was found by two fishermen, who gave her clothing and took her to the nearest house. Only three of the ship's company besides herself were saved. In a few days she had recovered from her exhaustion, and until lately she was living to tell the wonderful story of her exploit. A Manager in his Stomach A Marine Hospital surgeon tells of a remarkable case that came under his observation. It was that of a tall, lank, cadaverous sailor who complained that he suffered almost perpetual pain in the stomach. At times he would be seized with frightful convulsions, and nothing seemed to allay his sufferings but food. He had a ravenous appetite, and could eat a hearty meal a dozen times a day. The doctors, after a long course of treatment, succeeded in taking from the man a tape worm and also a snake thirteen inches long, resembling a monstrous angle worm. The physicians were somewhat astonished at finding so strange a resident as the snake in the man's stomach, but they were quite dumfounded by the startling phenomenon that presented itself soon after. While examining the reptile the physician found that it was actually giving birth to another claimant for the vast quantity of food devoured by the unfortunate Jack tar. They could account for the appearance of the snake in the man's stomach, but that a reptile, which, when quite small, had found its way there should in- A Snake Story The following from Lewiston, Me., is published in New York: For six months a young man named Ferguson, residing at Great Falls, has been in failing health, despite the care of physicians, none of whom could fathom the cause of his decline. Among the many odd symptoms was that of a peculiar choking sensation, which was not understood until a snake thrust its head out of the young man's mouth. The sick man called his sister, and when next the hissing head appeared she seized it, and with a quick pull landed the reptile at her feet. Her action killed her brother. The tail of the snake had grown into the young man's body, and in tearing it away a blood vessel was broken and the young man bled to death. Lay of the Hen-Pecked. Oh, her hair is as dark as the midnight wave, And her eyes like the kindling fire. And her voice is as sweet as the spirit's voice, That chords with the seraph's lyre. But her nails are as sharp as a toasting-fork, And her arms are as strong as a bear's; She pulled my hair and she gouged my eye And she kicked me down the stairs. I've got me an eye that's made of glass, And I've got me a wig that's new; The wig is frizzled in cork-screw curls And my eye is a clouded blue. She may shake her knuckles full in my face, And put the lamp to my beard, And hold the broomstick over my head— But I'm not at all afraid. For I've bound her over to keep the peace, And I've bought me a crab-tree came; The policemen will come, and justice, too, If she needs with me again. My head was a week in the linen cap, And my eyes a month in the patch; I never thought that the torch of love Would light such a brimstone match. Why Do We Have Easter? Easter is observed as people as the anniversary of the resurrection of Christ but returned to life. The emblematic of a return to appearance dead, but we ed under proper conditions from it. It was the cuz times to celebrate the re-making presents of egg. "Why does not Easter a fixed day? Christmasember 25th; why should fixed with equal certain always be on Sunday." WASHINGTON, D. C., April 9.—Senor Gaston, the Chief of the Bureau of Mercantile Statistics in Lima, Peru, has prepared a sensational document, the points of which Consul Brunt has sent to the State Department. He says: "There are 100,000 population in Lima;34 per cent of these are minors, 47 per cent single and widowed, 19 per cent married. This is not a matter of surprise, owing to economical features mentioned hereafter, but it must be noted with pain that from the great number of minors it clearly appears that unmarried persons take almost as active a part in propagating their species as those in wedlock. Statistics show that 46 per cent of the births in 1883 were the fruit of wedlock and 54 per cent illegitimate. It is, therefore, more than evident that over two-thirds of the population of Lima live in a state of concubinage, or something of that character, rather than in legal and family ties. According to census reports, there is an excess of 2,534 unmarried women or widowed women over the same classes of males, and as women are less adapted or educated to gain their living by industry than the male portion, the only means of subsistence left to them is that of depending upon the stronger sex without regard to law or morality. In a society of only 9,000 families this excess of 2,500 single women, urged by necessity, perverted through ignorance and even influenced by the climate, is an element of danger to public morals and general good. In a word, of the 100,000 people in Lima, but little more than one-third live in family ties." "There are 33,914 persons under age, 35,-159 females and only 30,083 active producers, so that every able-bodied man has to support more than three persons. The cost of food, clothing, etc. may be reckoned atlar date that is observed, but a particular Sunday. How to decide upon the Sunday, gave the very early churches much trouble, and there were differences on that account, but the matter was settled at a council held at Nice, in the year 325. The rule was adopted that "Easter day is always the first Sunday after the full moon, which happens upon or next after March 21st, and if the full moon happens on a Sunday, Easter day is the next Sunday after." This gives Easter day a wide range of dates, as it may occur on any Sunday from March 22 to April 25. Pathetic History of a New York Model. A beautiful woman was admitted at the last picture exhibition of the Lotus Club, New York. She was on canvas in a frame, but as big as life, and so natural that she easily reigned queen over all the live women in the assemblage. There was nothing indelicate about her. She was adequately clad in a white woolen robe, which draped her perfect form in classic style, though she was labeled a modern girl at her toilet; and the ribbon around her hair, while it was like the circlet of a Greek goddess, was presumably for mere convenience in holding up her hair temporarily. The clever idea was to create a medieval effect with wholly modern material. The face and arms were those of a stately blonde, her pose was commandingly erect, her color was that of brimming health and spirits, and she looked a very prosperous individual. The artist, James Carrol Beckwith, was repeatedly asked if he had painted from a model. He admitted that the picture was as nearly a portrait as any artist cared to admit in an idealistic picture. In response to special inquiry he said: "My model was an English girl. She was born to a good position, for her family was almost rich and highly re- Pacific Coast Steamship COMPANY.

In a society of only 9,000 families this excess of 2,500 single women, urged by necessity, perverted through ignorance and even influenced by the climate, is an element of danger to public morals and general good. In a word, of the 100,000 people in Lima, but little more than one-third live in family ties. There are 33,914 persons under age 35, 159 females and only 30,083 active producers, so that every able-bodied man has to support more than three persons. The cost of food, clothing, etc., may be reckoned at $15 02 per head per month. Each man able to work should earn $45 06 per month. This amount is only obtained by the most limited number. A condition of the most abject poverty prevails, which shortens the life of the people. The consuming class is constantly increasing, and every man forced to shoulder the mucket is but a new burden laid on the feeble shoulders of the producers. It is, therefore, shown that the population of Lima does not rest, as it should, on a family basis, and that from a lack of labor power and excess of unmarried females there is wanting that great producing element which is a principal factor in well-established communities. The result of all this is a never ending struggle between an educated minority and the powerful resistance of ignorant masses who, almost irresponsible for their acts, entertain a deep-seated hatred for those they hold to be their oppressors. These are a suspicious, selfish mass, refusing all efforts toward their own self-regeneration, without habits of order, unable to respect laws of which they are ignorant, living in intellectual darkness, and generally in moral deprivacy, their existence passes by without a thought being given to their advancement, their preservation as a race or to their bereaer. When it comes to pursuits, 64,956 are without any. Even among those married not one-fifth of their offspring survive the first year's existence, and the reason assigned is that the parents cannot provide them with the proper nourishment. Even more lamentable is the fate of those numerous unmarried women, whose children never know their fathers. For them there is no employment, no protection, no support. When their children live they grow up weaklings, owing to the privations they undergo, and they generally end their days in a hospital. And this condition is due to the indifference of our Government and to our own character. Premiums are given to useless and unsubstantial objects, whilst talent and honorable labor go unrewarded. Immense sums are subscribed to build sumptuous temples side by side with the hovels where the poor die in want and misery.

In response to special inquiry he said: "My model was an English girl. She was born to a good position, for her family was almost rich and highly respected. But she eloped to America and sank into abject poverty. She had suffered seriously from cold and hunger when I chanced to come across her. I employed her to sit for this painting, and I have no doubt that she had once been as proud and queenly as she therein appears; but, poor creature, she died before this presentiment of her beauty. Her fatal illness was caused by privation, though she was made as comfortable as possible towards the last."—Cincinnati Commercial. Matrimonial Agencies in France. A writer in the Temps furnishes some interesting information concerning matrimonial agencies in France. The first of these bymeneal institutions was established shortly after the revolution of 1793. To-day there are over a hundred in Paris alone. Some are public, others private. The latter are the more open to suspicion, though the former are occasionally caught making dupes, and one agent, who had large offices near the boulevards, has just been condemned to two years' imprisonment for swindling his clients. The writer visited several of the leading agencies. He says that during the last eight months one of them has succeeded in making no fewer than 202 marriages. The majority of them are kept by women who appear to make a good living. The male clients are composed chiefly of pensioned soldiers, dismissed functionaries and humble employees, while the female applicants may be classed as elderly maids, wearied courtesans or enriched cooks. The extraordinary number of ex-functionaries in search of wives is attributed to the constant change of governments. These unfortunate bachelors finding themselves suddenly thrown out of office, and forced to maintain a certain rank in society, resort to the matrimonial agent as a kind of savior. Many belong to good but impoverished families. Of course, adventurers of both sexes are numerous among the candidates for matrimony; but that many bona fide matches are made by these agencies appears to be beyond doubt. Whether the couples so united by advertisement live long and happy lives forever after is a question difficult to decide. Opulent KnightsNew York, April 17.-A Scranton dis- UNDERTAKING A SPECIALTY.

Why Do We Have Eggs at Easter? Easter is observed among all Christian people as the anniversary of the great event of the resurrection of Christ. He was dead, but returned to life. The egg is taken as emblematic of a return to life. It is to all appearance dead, but we know that if placed under proper conditions life will come from it. It was the custom in very early times to celebrate the return of spring by making presents of eggs. "Why does not Easter always fall upon a fixed day? Christmas is always on December 25th; why should not Easter be fixed with equal certainty?" Easter must always be on Sunday. It is not a particu- Opulent Knights New York, April 17.—A Scranton dispatch says Master Workman Powderly was asked to day if there is any immediate prospect of settling the strike in the Southwest. "I do not know what the business men of St. Louis may accomplish," said he, "but I might be able to give a better opinion if I knew more about the manipulation of stocks. I will say this, if Mr. Gould is not making any more money out of the Missouri Pacific than he claims, we will gladly take the road off his hands." "You mean that the Knights of Labor would purchase the road?" "Precisely; we can do it, and I am confident that we could run the road to the satisfaction of the public, and make money without having strikes. The fact is, railroad workmen, as a class, are the easiest to get along with in the world. They are steady, hard-working and industrious. A man who cannot get along with them cannot get along with anybody." Oil from pine wood is now manufactured on a considerable scale at the South. The material is subjected to intense heat in sealed retorts, and one cord of it is said to yield fifteen gallons of turpentine, eighty gallons of pine wood oil, fifty bushels of charcoal, one hundred and fifty gallons of wood vinegar and a quantity of inflammable gas and asphaltum. The enervation and lassitude of spring time are but indications of the aluggish action of the blood, overloaded with carbonates accumulated by the use of heating food in winter. This condition may be remedied by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, the best blood purifier known. GAZETTE. JUL 24, 1886. NO. 29. Coast Steamship Company. KINS & CO. General Agents, San Francisco.
