Farm Notes and Suggestions.
The EngIi.h spnrrey,.

The English sparrow which at considera-
BILE trouble and expense have been intro
duced into this country seem liable to prove
of less value than 1t was anticipated that
they would. Some who have observed their
work do not hesitate to denounce them as a
nuisance. They are said to drive other
more valuable birds away and are not so
useful in destroying insects as some of the
birds are which they drive away. The spar
rows evidently have no fondness for coding
moth cocoons. Mr.. FL. e. Bidweil well
known Michigan pomoogist, laid out of
doors several boards upon which were many
cocoons of The codling moth, Upon these
boards he sea tered wheat to attract the
birds. The sparrows came and greedily de-
voured the wheat but took no notice. of the
larvae, while a pair of blue birds as greedy
devoured the larv@, without paying any
attention to the wheat. Mr.. Bidwell re-
marks that Zone pair of our own blessed
little insectiver0us birds is worth more to
the fruit grower than all of the imported
sparrows."

Balkv horses occasionally come into the
faImer's possession or sometimes are raised
on the farm. Oitentimes some mismanage-
ment at the time of breaking the colt or at
some time when he was being handled has
! ssessn the cause-ofathe trouble. A common
mistake made in the treatment Of such ami
mails is to whip and abuse them. SUCH
treatment does not do any good but on the
contrary only makes mat .ers worse. We have
never known of horse being cured of it by
beating, or by whipping, or by any abusive
treatment. But several instances have oc-
Cured where kind treatment has cured the
horses OF this Yiciousness. Sometimes
when horse refuses to 90, few apples or
potatoes given to him will make him forget
his stubbornness, and go along without fur
Their trouble. II is much easier TO give a
horse few apples or potatoes or an ear or
two of co'n til ~ it is to best HIM, as it is
much more effec,ual. Any one who has a
baky horse should try the method of kind
ness instead of that of harshness in treating
him.

Remarkable Presence of Mind

There were dozen old fellows sitting on a
bench in Seventh Ward Park talking on vari
GUS subjects, and finally they began to tell
stories of the wonderful feats of presence oil
mind they had witnessed. One old gentleman
told of the building of mill down in York
State where a number Of upright posts had to
be put into about six feet Of water with the end
resting on the rocky bottom. In lowering one
of these posts the end became ontangled in the
coat tail Of a man in a boat who was steady
ing it, and took him 10 the bottom, but before
he could become untangled he was pinned fast
under six feet Of water. with wonderful pres
ence Of mind, said the storyteIler, ''he slip
ped out Of his coat and came up. His coat
remained under the posi-"
A lean lank-looking fellow who had been
listening came up, saying: "That's a remark

here in Milwaukee bay about thirty years
ago."

The next item

On motion, after a short discussion the item
for new building for harbor-master ard pilots
was struck out, and $4,000 for the rest, as
recommended by the Committee, was passed.
Representative F. Brown moved to insert
$3.50 for ferry boat across Pearl River.
Passed.
Representative Kanealii moved the insertion
Of $1,000 for bridge at Waielu, Maui. Passed.
Representative Hitchcock moved to insert
81, 500 for deepening the boat landing at Lau-
pahoehoe.
Amended by Hon. 5. C. Wilder to 81 900
and passed
Representative Smith moved that the sum of
$4,000 be appropriated for the purpose Of ex-
tending Oahu Jail; amended 10y Representative
Richardson TO S25,0 and passed at the latter
figure.
Hon. Godfrey Rhodes drew the attention Of
the Committee TO the fact that there had been
no provision made for the Survey Department
by the Ministers in their estimates. He was
sorry to say that the members of that Depart
ment considered themselves badly used. They
were all men Of scientific attachments and had
but little Of this worlds goods, they had been
very efficient in their service but they had
been left out Of the appropriation altogether
He desired 10 submit that Section of the
Appropriation Bill be amended SO that the
words Employees Of the Suryay Department
be inserted in the Section after the words
"Circuit Courts"
Representative Hitchcock offered a further
amendment, that the words Expenses Insane
Asylum" be also added in the Section"

The Attorney for Anna NJ. Gertz excerpts to
a refusal of the Chief Justice to tax his statu-
tory fees. The cases were first a suit by Mrs
Gertz against her husband for separation, in
which the Court denied her petition, and, sec
ond, libel for divorce by Mr.. Gertz against
! his wife, which was dismissed by the Court
Upon no theory can the items claimed be
taxed against the husband in the wife's suit
for separation, for this suit failed.
1t has not been the practice of this Court to
tax in matrimonial litigation the statutory
! attorneys fees, but the Court makes an allow
ance to the wife's counsel, if asked for and the
circumstances warrant it, and this has been
considered to occupy the place of taxed costs
This practice of the Court being now ques-
toned on this appeal II seems TO us to be proper
and fitting that the suit-money ordered to lie
paid by the husband should take the place Of
statutory fees. This is the practice in some
| States of the American Union
See Whip VS.. Whip, 81 n. H., 2s2.
The rule of Court referred to, "that costs
shall follow the judgment in all original ao-
tons, certainly docs not apply TO suits apper-
tanning to tie matrimonial relation, for in these
the husband, as the only party responsible,
has to pay costs whether losing or winning his
case.
We consider that the authority of the Court
over the allowances for the wife's expenses OF
the suit excerpts such cases from the operation
Of the general rule.
Exceptions overTuled.

AFTERNOON

Ar AEANbON-
On reconvening the consideration of the APP
preparation Bill was considered and the fol-
lowing Sections were discussed:
Representative Dole moved to amend Section
4, which reads: "The Minister Of Finance
shall not cause or allow to be paid from the
Treasury any money for objects not provided
by this law" by adding the followin: 'Nor
for any object herein authorized over and above
the amount appropriated therefor"
The amendment prevailed, when Section
was read as follows: "No person holding
more than one office for which salaries are
provided shall be authorized to draw more
than the salary of the highest grade of Office
held by him, if the salary Of any Office held by
him shall amount 10 two thousand dollars or
more per ahnum. and he shall be entitled to no
other or further compensation" Passed.
Representative Dole moved to insert another
Section, 10 be Section G, to read as follows:
CONTRACTS for building public works, furnish
ing material, provisions aud other supplies
awarded under this Act, shall be awarded only
on advertisement for public tenders"
The Minister Of Interior said this would
hamper a certain administration of the funds
His method had beeu for the year, as far as
practicable, 10 award contracts after proper
advertisement, yet frequently there is nothing
more misleading than the answers that will
come 10 advertisements. He cited as case
where il cost the Government less than by ad-
vertisement for contracts: 'The contract for
new bridges in the district of Hilo. Had ten
ders been called for, they would have cost 80
70 10 per cent more than by private contract
The Pacific Bridge Co. of California offered to
build these bridges for certain figures, but
stated that if put up for public tender, they
would not consider themselves bound to adhere
to those figures.
Representative Roveli said the proposed
Section would hamper the Minister but very
little if any. He is not bound to accept the
lowest or any tender. Perhaps he would have
been surprised if be had advertised for tenders
for the Hilo bridges to find that other parties
could build those bridges as cheap as the Pa
ci6c Bridge Company.
Representative Aholo said it seemed 10 him
that by this step they were ignoring the Civil
Engineer. According to his idea, it was part
Of this Engineers duty to make estimates of
all bridge work, and report the same to the
Minister of Interior.
Representative Smith repeated what he had
said on several previous occasions relative to
general bad administration and wasting and
squandering Of the public moneys. He con-
sidered the amendment proposed wise one,
aud could not hamper any honest administra-
ton; but it will be check on those who did
not wish TO administer honestly.
The Committee then rose and reported pro-
guess TO- the Assembly, asking leave to sit
again.

tee, reported substitute for The Minister OF

ssrentr-Fifth Day. Aug. 9Th.

The Assembly convened at 10. am; prayer
by the chaplain and reading of minutes of the
preceding day by the secretary,
Representative Piiipo offered a resolution
that 3, 500 he inserted in the Appropriation
Bill for Kawaiahao Seminary. Tabled, to be
considered with the Appropriation Bill.
On motion the order Of the day was taken
up and the House went into Committee Of the
Whole for the consideration Of the Appropria-
ton Bill, Hon ~ S Cleghon in the chair.
Representative f. Brown, moved the item Of
SAC, 200 for the Kings Guard.
Representative Smith thought that $40, coo
was too much, more than the country under
existing circumstances can afford. The idea
Of the maintenance Of an army here was ridi-
culous. All that was needed was guard for
His Majesty. That only cost S2l, 900 few
years ago. There was no occasion or need
for the great increase. There was no danger
Of any internal instruction or disturbance.
Representative Aholo wanted TO have the
report Of the committee appointed to consider
military matters; he bad not heard from them
yet nor did be know whether they intended to
report OF not.
Representative Dole said the object OF the
Kings Guard was to provide sentries for the
palace, and for a small military attendance on
| state occasions. That Is all the army was
good for and hardly fit for that. For any
parade the guard was too small and utterly
worthless, and for such purpose the Gov
| eminent must rely on volunteer companies
He supported the amendment. He thought
the police would do to stand guard. Every
time he saw the Kings Guard he was ashamed
| Of his country. That guard has nothing TO do
| but to drill, and on :ht to be the best drilled
force in the world; yet when on parade they
were not able to stand in a straight line.
| No amount Of money would make them WELL
| drilled company. If they had competitive
| drill with the Honolulu Rifles which had only
| been drilling about two months, they would
find themselves left behind. 1t YVES d bad
state of affairs TO have the regular force badly
disciplined, as then they could not be relied
| upon.
The item was then passed by vote Of 10

was then taken up and discussed. and finally
| passed without change.
| Representative Smith asked what had be-
come Of the bill on the subject of ramie cult
walton. lie thought that if ramie could be
cultivated here it would be OF great value to
the country. If, after careful investigation,
it could be shown 10 be 4 means Of increasing
the wealth of the country, then the subject
was one that should be attended TO.
The report Of the committee 10 whom was
referred the items on Government buildings
and repairs was taken up. Ii recommended

Look around you. The license system
