THE re-making of Fort street,
during the rains Of the last couple of
days, draws ones attention pain
fully to the fact that the system of
street drainage in Honolulu is very
defective. 1t seems to have been
the object how to collect the water
in a puddle instead of carrying it off
into the harbor. .-FH III A

NORWEGIAN sNOW-sHOE, OR
SKEE-RACING.

One of the most popular winter spots
in Norway is skee-racing. A steep hill
is selected by the committee which is to
have charge of the race, and all the
best skee-runners in the district enter
their names, eager to engage in the
contest. The track is cleared of all
accidental distractions, but if there
happens to be a stone or wooden fence
crossing it, the snow is dug away on
the lower side of it and piled up above
it. The object is to obtain what is
called "jump." The skee-runner, of
course, coming at full speed down the
slope will slide out over this "jump,"
shooting right out into the air and
coming down either on his feet or any
other convenient portion of his anatomy
as the case may be. To keep one's
footing, and particularly to prevent the
skees from becoming crossed while in
the air, are the most difficult feats
connected with skee-racing and it is
no unusual thing to see even an excell-
ent skee-runner plunging headlong into
the snow, while Skees pursue an indie
pendent race down the track and tell the
spectators of his failure Properly
speaking, a skee-race is not race-not
test of speed, but test of skill Z; for
two runners rarely start simultaneously,
as. in case one of them should fall, the
other could not possibly stop, and might
not even have the time to change his
course. He would thus be in danger of
running into his competitor, and could
hardly avoid manning him seriously.
If there were several parallel tracks,
at distance of twenty to thirty feet
from each other, there would, of course,
be less risk in having the runners start
together. Usually, number fall in
the first run, and those who have not
fallen then continue the contest until
one gains the palm. If, as occasionally
happens, the competition is narrowed
down to two, who are about evenly
matched, a proposal to run without
slaves is apt to result in decisive
victory for one or the other
1t can hardly be conceived how ex-
citing these contests are, not only to
the skee-runners themselves, but, also,
to the spectators, male and female, who
gather in groups along the track and
cheer their friends as they pass, waving
handkerchiefs, and greeting with deri-
sive cries the mishaps which are insep-
arabic from the sport. :" a

NO RECESS.

The Rochester, N. Y, School Board
has ordered that during the next term
in the public schools the morning and
afternoon recess be abolished, and that
the principals be instructed to carry out
the following program of school hours
The morning and afternoon sessions
will begin respectively at 9 O'Clock A.
NJ, and 1.30 P. NJ, and will close at
1.30A A. NJ. and 3.30P. M. Theseventh,
eighth and ninth grades will be dis
missed in the afternoon at 3 O'Clock.
1t is also ordered that at 1915 in the
morning and 2.30 i'll the afternoon, five
minutes shall be devoted to calisthenic
exercises and marching in every school
room, while the windows are to be
thrown open sufficiently to change the
air Of the room. 1t is understood that
this provision is to be rigidly adhered
to in all cases. The foregoing plan of
school hours has been in operation for
several weeks, in most if not all of the
schools, with very beneficial results.
There has been a decrease in Iistless-
ness or languOr of pupils; cases of ca
tarrh have been fewer, department
better, and punctuality and regularity
of attendance have either not been per-
ceptibly affected, OF have improved.
The pupils, with scarcely any excep-
tions, are in favor of the new plan. In
their report on the change, the School
Committee add that they are of the
opinion that the recess i'll the winter
season is prolific Of colds and catarrh,
either caught by exposure on the play
ground or by sitting in the school
room in a perspiration after excessive
exercise. Furthermore, the idea that
the pupils are required to sit still for
two hours and half in the forenoon
and two hours in the afternoon, is not
in accordance with the facts. Glasses
change every twenty minutes, and
pupils march to and from their reeita-
tions, which greatly relieves the tedium
of constant sitting, and by a provision
in this arrangement the school-room is
furnished with fresh air, while the
pupils are exercised in calisthenics and
marching. By this plan we shall have
an unbroken school session, which will
be a great gain in concentration of
thought upon the lessons and in power
of application to study.

EX-GOVERNOR BowIE's FARM
Governor Bowie'sh home farm, Fairview
in Prince Georges county, Nd, is an
estate of nearly 1000 acres of land,
divided into seven fields, besides lots
and paddocks, all cultivable except
groves of wood, averaging six to 10
acres of forest trees, left on each field
or bordering streams. Farmer Bowie
has ice ponds lately stocked with carp
and black bass paddocks for brood
mares, and training stable for race
horses. He sold the original flock Of
IA ewes and one ram Of fSouthdown stock
for the beginning of the Druid Hill
Park flock. He is now breeding Cots
wolds, of which he has a flock of $50.
He has also a herd of Devon cattle, a
few Jerseys, and 100 head of beef cattle.
He has 100 horses of all kinds, 26
thoroughbred brood mares and 60 colts.
He uses so bushels or more of lime per
acre, applied on the turf the autumn
and winter before the field is plowed for
crops, with 200 to 300 pounds of fertili-
zers to each acre of wheat when the
crop is sown. The average wheat yield
last year was 26 bushels to the acre.
The yield of corn is 10 to Is barrels to
the acre. Only small quantity of
tobacco is raised on the home farm.
The Governor has tobacco plantations
in another part of the county.

"ToNI CoNNERY."

The New York Herald establishment
is managed by "Tom Connery" las he
is familiarly called), who has for ten
years, shown himself adequate to the
important position. He was brought
up in the concern and his father was a
Herald reporter, at SIS per week, who
little dreamed of his sons wonderful
success-which, unfortunately he did
not see. The profits of the Herald are
estimated at $4,000 per day, and hence
it is not surprising that its manager
should draw a salary of $4,000 per
year. 1t is Benefits rule to secure the
best services without regard to cost.
In personal appearance, the manager
of the Herald is plain and unassuming.
One beholds a rather tall and careworn
man, whose whole appearance indicates
work. His mode of life is plain and
his habits are regular. He comes
down at two O'Clock and calls the edi-
torial writer's into his room, where the
regular council is held. The leading
questions Of the day are discussed, and
each man gives his opinion, after which
the themes are assigned and the writers
return to their offices and proceed with
their tasks. The work becomes more
intense as the hours advance and the
kilograms come pouring in from Europe
and India, as well as from all parts of
America. The manager feels the bur-
den of preparing journal, which, in a
few hours, will be read by all the world.
His staff includes a dozen editorial
writer's, thirty reporters, two telegraph
operators, and private secretary and
errand boy. In addition to these there
are thirty persons employed in the
basement, and as many more in the
publication Office, while the force of
type settlers numbers more than hun
dred, besides half dozen proof readers.
Connery leaves his Office little after
eleven, and then the night editors take
charge of the paper. Bennett encourages
faithfulness, not only by liberal pay but,
also by the assurance of a pension in
case of disability, incurred while in his
service. This is the true way to con-
duct a great enterprise.

BEER AND RAILWAY BUILDING
The consumption of beer in the camps
of the railway builders is enormous.
At Bismarck I saw an entire freight
train of thirty cars laden with bottled
beer from Chicago brewery, bound
for the town nearest the end of the
track. The chief engineer of the con-
struction force said that an average of
one bottle for every tie laid was con-
sumed, and that the tie and the beer
cost the same-fifty cents. Thus the
workmen pay as much for their drink
as the company for one Of thei important
elements of railway construction.-E.

With her basket on her arm,
And certain subtle charm,
Coming not from her adornings,
But the modest light that lies
Deep within her shaded eyes.
And she carries naught but blessing
As she journeys up and down
Through the neveT-heeding town,
With her looks the ground caressing;
Yet know her steps are bent
On some task of good intent

And your modest eyes may wink,
Queens might gladly bear. your basket
If they could appear as true
And as good and sweet as you.

chemist, who devoted twenty years
of his life to the investigation of the
chemistry of oils and fats.
dynamite was patented i'm the

ent being granted to Alfred Nobel. of

fullers' earth or rotten stOne. The
process of manufacture is very simple.

with certain other proportions of glyc-

and the man, who had evidently tried
to reach the fixture when he had
blown out the gas, was lying PROSTATE,

night the woman is still unconscious,

is a beautiful blonde. No accusation
against her virtue was ever made, the
contrary being always maintained.
Her paramount is well-to-do young
