Terrific storms have done great dam
age in Kanas, Texas and Wisconsin this
summer. 1t is a season of severe storms
all over the country, except in Montana.
Here, we have been visited With an I'M
usual frequency of showers, but their
coming has been of great benefit instead
of disaster, producing an immense crop
of grass, grain and vegetables.

The high rate of expressage has effect
ually cut off Montana's supply of early
vegetables from the West Coast, and
places the price of fruit considerably
higher than it ought to be. st. Paul is
entirely unable to obtain fruit from Ore
gon, finding it much cheaper to ship
from the south. The four cent rate was
reasonable, the seven cent rate is ex-
horbitant. and is plainly an erroneous
policy for the express companies to at
tempt to carry on. Last year Bozeman
was furnished with early cncumbers,
tomatoes, corn etc, from the coast, this

Safest Part Of the Train

The American railway conductor
who, when asked which was the
safest part of a car, replied: "That
part Which happens to be in the
shop at the time of the accident
was a wit. But leaving joking
apart, It'll is not generally known--in
fact, popular prejudice rather
points the other way-that the last
carriage in railway train is the
safest. There is no doubt that, II
you are in the last carriage Of
train. and especially at its rear, and
another train runs into yours, you
will probably not survive to tell the
tale of how the accident happened.
But in all other accidents you car
conjure up as liable to occur, it is
the safest. If there is a head col
lision, there is nothing back of You
to add force to the blow. If the
carriage leaves the track and col
lides with bridge OF any obstruc
ton on side track, it will not be
in your end. If the train is thrown
down an embankment, there is
nothing to land on the top Of you
Moreover, the rear part of a train
is the most pleasant in travelling
for from it you can best observe the
scenery, and this applies more par
ticularly to American and some
continental, especially Swiss, rail
way cars, where, by turning in your
seat OF stepping to the door, yol
take it all in. 1t will therefore bt
conceded that the safest part of ;
train is in the last seat OF the las
carriage, although, speaking from
our own experience, it is not thu
most comfortable, owing to th'
great amount of oscillation.

How Many Eggs WILL a Hen Lays

We often read Of hens that lay
200 eggs a year, but such state.
ments do more harm titan good, by
inducing the inexperienced to be-
lieve such to be a fact. Any one
who is familiar at all with poultry
knows that during the fall all hens
undergo the process of moulting,Or
shedding of the feathers. This re-.
quires usually about three months,
or 100 days. AS there are only
365 days in year, we have 265
days left after deductingthe moult-
ing period. II a hen lays regularly
an egg every other day, she will
lay 133 eggs; but she will probably
lose three months in Matching out
iIiiS hon hsY;ppeas. and even off she is a
place. 81 As S' ifiJ%',!!lyl!.tts take a resting
drain on the system, but few hens
lay during that process, though
there are exceptions, and where
the number of eggs exceed oneeve
ry two days it will be found that a
corresponding reduction occurs du.
ring some period of the year
While we admit that certain indi-
vidual hens have been known to
lay as many as $50 or even 175
eggs in a year, such cases are rare;
and if one has a flock of twenty
hens or more, he should be satisfied
if there is All average of 100 eggs a
year for the Whole flock, or rather
nine dozen. -Four dozen out OF the
nine should realize 80 cents per
dozen, three dozen should bring
about 90 cents per dozen. and two
dozen should realize Is cents per
dozen, or an average of % CENTS
or course this calculation may be
wrong, but it will convey an idea
of what may be eXpected.-Farm
and Garden.

The Boys the World Want.

much interest the discourse lately
published in Ind. Farmer on Why
Boys Leave the Farm, and if one

it suggestive reading, and the wise
ones will profit by what the foolish
ones resent.

Old Virginia Matrons.

The old-fashioned Virginia mat.
ron was notfeminine in the modern
sense Of the word, which makes it
synonymous with trivial, feeble and
inane. She was feminine, however.
in the sense Of being and doing
what is appropriate to woman.
A letter written by Mrs. Gar.
rlngton, describing a visit which
she and her husband, a soldier of
the Revolution, made to Mount Yer.
non, just before Washington's
death, gives view Of the Virgin
III lady Of one hundred years ago.
After mentioning that Washing
ton extended his retiring hour from
9 to IL to talk about the scenes of
the war, and that, Mrs. Washing.
ton spoke of the days of her pub
lie life as "her lost days." she
writes:
"Let us repair to the old Iady's
room which is precisely in the style
of our good old aunt's-that is to
say, nicely. fixed for all sorts OF
work. On one side sits tho cham
bermaid, with her knitting; on the
other, little cololed pet, learning
to sew.
Gan old. decent.woman is there,
with her tanle and shears, cutting
out the negroes winter clothes,
while the good lady directs them
all, necessarily knitting herself.
''She points out to several pairs
of nice colored stockings and gloves
she had just finished, and presents
me with pair half done, that she
begs I will finish and wear
sake.
sit iswonderful, after a life spent
as these good people have neces.
sarIly spent theirs, to see them. in
retirement, assume those domestic
habits that prevailln oureountry.'n
The words we have in quotation
show that Martha Washington, in.
stead of being singular, was a type
OF Virginia matrons. The words of
Proverbs described them: "She
seeketh wool and flax, and work.
eth willingly with her hands.r-
"She girdeth her loins with
strength, and maketh strong her
arms" "She looketh we'll to the
ways of her household, and eateth
not the bread ofidleness." -Truth's

his account is balanced every day
There are many men and women
who carry their heads high in air
and look OH labor with disdain who
are nevertheless utterly useless in
the economy Of the world through
which honest efforts establishes
just claims to what is called a liv.
ing. These idle creatures have no
claims to the fruits Of labor earned
by those who meet allrequirements,
whose hands are hardened by Toll,
or whose active brains accomplish
tasks that in their execution make
the world better. 1t is folly for
any person to set up a claim on the
world as it's debtor, except as he
can show what useful work he has
done to justify for a living. No
matter how much wealth he may
hold, he is still under obligations
to work, for his wealth is but the
product of labor, and if not earned
by him constitutes ;.n obligation
to do something in return.

word. Beyond a certain point he
is intimate with none, knowing that
IL man with strong friendships is
sure to have some decided enemies,
and enmity is often most inconven-
lent. The popular man knows all
the prominent membersof the club;
but he never neglects those who fill
the ranks of lnediocr.ty. BE is es-
pecially thoughtful of his elders
Everything that comes to his mill
is grist.
There is nothing hypocritical in
all this. The popular man is what
he seems to be. He wishes we'll to
every one, hlmselfincluded, and he
would do no one an ill.tnrn. He
wishes no one to do him harm. Ellis
desire is to make things pleasant
unto others that others may make
things pleasant unto him. He does
not neglect the harder work of life.
II he is in a profession, he studies
diligently for some hours each day,
when there is no opportunity to

ture, or to render his relations with
others more friendly. If he is in
trade, he does not neglect to learn
his business thoroughly ,from:the

well, no matter how small it is.
Such man is sure to com mand

If a social gathering is lacking in

DEATH OF MANAGER TILDEN.

This morning, at half-past three
O'Clock, Mr.. Joseph Tilden, Man.
ager of the Hawaiian Hotel, died
from the effects of being burnt in
the recent fire at one of the Hotel
cottages. Yesterday morning he
rallied little, but in the afternoon
grew worse and continued to do so
until he breathed his last at the time
stated. He was not conscious.
Everything possible was done for
him, but to no avail, the injuries
were too severe. The deceased was
born in Lowell, Mass, December
18th, 1888, consequently was forty
six and half years old. His father
was connected with the Merrimac
Mills in that city. and one of the
streets is named after him. When
young he was taken to Boston,
Mass, and remained there for some
time. fIe enlisted as private in Co.
1, 44th Massachusetts volunteers,
was promoted to be sergeant and
afterwards was captain in the 55th
Mass. volunteers. He mustered out
on account of disability July 18th,
1868. At what time he came to
California is not exactly known. He
was n broker in San Francisco and a
member of the well-known firm of
Tilden & Breed. The deceased was
also caller at the Pacific Board. He
came to Honolulu about year ago
and was associate manager with the
late George Fassett, and became sole
manager at the death of the latter.
He leaves three children, two daugh-
tiers and son, to mourn his loss.
His wife died in December, 1881.
The three children were put to school
in Sonoma, CAL, and at the present
time are spending their vacation at
jacksonville with Mrs. Foard, sister
of Mrs. j. II. Congdon, the latter
being a relative of Mr.. Tilden's
wife's family. The son is 10 years
old, and the two daughters are IS
and 10 years respectively, all bright
children. The blow will be sad
one to them, as they idolised their
father. The deceased had host of
friends in this city, and he was
always alive to the comfort of guests
entrusted to his care. His untimely
death is very much regretted. The
funeral takes place this afternoon
from the Hotel cottage at 4 o clock,
under the auspices of Geo. w. DE
Long Post, G.. A. R., of which he
was member.

Grenade will be given next Satur-

Then it will likely be proven that if
the grenades are properly handled,
any incipient and even n large fire
can be extinguished by them. This
test will be the most severe that can
be given any fire extinguisher, and
should convince all property holders
of the great value of the grenades
