keep quiet enough outdoors, for
some weeks to come, OF course it
would be audacious TO suggest, in
this connection, that possibly the
street cleaning operations may go
on until after the elections.
The foregoing remarks may be
considered impertinent, and not
consistent with the dignity of pub
lie journalism in the treatment of a
matter of public interest; but any
person who will take n walk or n
drive along the line of the street
cleaning operations cannot fail to be
impressed with the ridiculous man
ner in which the contract is being
carried out. The dirt of the streets
is scraped up into small hillocks,
from six to eight feet apart. 1t is
then left to dry, a process that only
requires few hours in the tropical
sun. The drying process, however,
is allowed to go on from day to
| day. and the dust, muck, manure
and debris become thoroughly pull
verized. The trade winds come
tearing down the valley or in from
the ocean, and Il large portion of
every hillock of pulverized dirt is
taken up in shovelfuls, carried
through the air and hurled pell-mell
into the faces of all meddlesome
citizens who never would be satisfied
while the dirt was left undisturbed
under their feet. On those streets
along which the scraping up business
has been prosecuted during the past
week, the flying dirt has been abso-
lutely terrible. 1t seems, too, to be
impossible to get to windward of the
! dirt-laden breezes, for the hillocks
have been so ingeniously placed
| that from whatever art the wind
blows, there is no avoiding the in
Fiction. Not only is the air charged
with the pulverized accommodations
of the streets, but the hillocks OF
dirt are, many of them, re-spread
by the gales over the places whence
they came, to be scraped up again
in more disintegrated condition, only
to be the more easily whirlcd about
bv the breezes of subsequent day
After the hillocks have lain lons
enough, to be effective for the pur'
poses above specified, a cart comes
along and takes what is left of then
away. And this is cleaning tht
streets in Honolulu. If the plan il
not unique in its originality, it il
surely unique in it's ingenuity, tina
is, if it has been adopted with !
view to Furnishing the citizens fo
previous insubordination.
We have only single suggestion
to make, and perhaps, the contrac
ting party, Mr.. Kaiaikwaha, may b.
discreet enough to adopt it. 1t
plain practicability may, however
be fatal to its adoption. But W
shall hope for the best, and. wi
demand no fees for the advice.

THE LATE MRS. S. j. LYMAN.

HIilo has again been called to
mourn the loss of another of the
early missionaries whose numbers
have been so depleted in recent
years. Mrs. Sarah Joiner Lyman,
wife of the Rev. David Belden
Lyman, died at Hilo, Dec. z, 1885.
She had been in feeble health for
some time, but the day before her
death had attended service at the
Hail Church, on which occasion the
text of the sermon was Phil. | 30.
"According to my earnest expecta-
ton and my hope that in nothing l
shall be ashamed, but that with all
boldness, as always, so now also
Christ shall be magnified in my
body, whether it be by life or by
death" On both occasions the
aged Mrs. Hitchcock, who was a
member of the same missionary re-
inforcement, and who Is now resid-
ing at Hilo, sat next to Mrs. Lyman.
1t was a very touching and beauti-
full sight to see these venerable

the people for whom they had
labored so lovingly. Mrs. Lyman
was considerably wearied Sunday
from the effort to attend church, and
complained of being cold in the
evening. But her son, Hon. f. S.
Lyman, who spent the evening with
her in company with others, observed
that she was unusually bright and
talkative. She said to little grand
daughter, ''Now, you must wrap up
warm before you go home, because
it is cold" That night she retired
as usual and sweetly fell asleep in
Jesus. In the morning when her
room was entered she was lying
peacefully in that last slumbei
which has no awakening this side
eternity. There was no trace ot
suffering or pain. The angel o.
death had called the dear mothel
home to her eternal rest. Recen
tidings of the death of a very pro
missing grandson had made he
heavy-hearted for her afflicted sol

STREET CLEANING.

{
certain. A gang of men armed with
hoes, rakes and shovels, is distri-
buted along the principal thorough
fares scraping up the accummula-
tons of muck, dust, debris and
manure which have given so much
offence to the asthetically disposed
portion of the inhabitants. The
work has now been in progress for
several days. Some of the streets
are showing greatly improved ap-
pearance. There is no mistaking
that fact. The plan of operations
nevertheless is one that it may not
be judicious to mention. But as it
is evidently original, and one which
Mr.. Kaiaikawaha, the contractor,
may be disposed to claim special
credit for, it ought to be fully des-
cribed. 1t is only necessary to be
widely known to secure for the new
official share of the fame that falls
to the lot of the ingenious and enter
prising, the world over. In case
the plan should be adopted by other
cities, the honor of Hawaii requires
that it should at once be announced
and designated cmphatically the
Honolulu method of cleaning streets.
This being done, it will not be in
the power of any smart Yankee
civic official to introduce the scheme
and appropriate the honors of in
venting it.
A considerable amount of abuse
has been heaped upon the heads of
the conselvators of our civic rights
and comforts during the past three
months for the dirty condition of the
streets. Whether this had anything
to do with the operations recently
commenced is no part of our bust,
ness to determine. But there does
seem TO be sort of sarcastic humol
about the processes now going on.
They have gone to work to clean the
streets certainly. And the grumblers
are grumbling with bated breath
although they cannot but have some
rather disagreeabie notions that Mr.
Kaiaikawaha has thrown them ou

The Fashion of the Season For Thin Fab
RIGS and Light Summer Silks.
Lace dresses. gauzes, grapes. silk
muslins, India silks, and all thin wash
goods, such as lawns and null, are
made up in some one of the various de-
signs that have full waists shirred in
rows or merely gathered in single
row. The most dressy of these waists
is the shirred basque with the front and
middle back forms shirred at the neck
and again at the waist line. The collar
is very high and close about the throat,
and the slight stirring is just below it.
consisting of not more than three or
four rows very near together; at the
line of the waist in front there are
many rows of shirring. while the back
has only few rows extending between
the seams of the side forms; the middle
back forms are not separated by a seam
up the middle. but are cut in one piece
in the old-fashioned way. The lining
of transparent lace or muslin basques
is cut low in the neck, either round.
square, or in v shape, and there ere
short cap sleeves set in the armholes.
An edge of narrow lace, usually Valen-
ciennes for light fabrics. and black
French lace for darker dresses, edges

which may be either linen or else silk.
Sometimes the basque is in fan shape.
with the fullness of the front carried
back along the shoulder seams: this
gives the appearance of greater
e ODD h.,
slender figures. In other basques
the shirring is confined to the top
of the basque. while fine pleats or tucks
are laid at the waist line and for some
distance about it. The round belted
wa st is also made in various ways, the
simplest and most popular form being
that with a single row of gather ng in
the front and back where it is attached
to the belt. This is made without a
lining by amateur dress-makers. as it

over prettily tr mined corset cover:
the modistes prefer to have q lining of
linen or of the dress goods itself sewed
in W th the seams to strengthen them.
but this does not answer with wash
dresses. as the two different materials
will not shrink in the same proportion
after being washed. Another full waist
very much used by those with slight
figures has the top shirred from the
neck low down on the bust to represent
a round yoke; the lines of gathering
are three-fourths of an inch apart. and
extend around the neck and shoulders.
