PecuIIarIties on Katydids.
Eastern letter.

The good people of Connecticut-;hat is
to say, the good old-fashioned people
have strong faith in certain peculiar
Weather-signs One of these is the appear
ance of the katydid as the precursor of the
first snow, which is said to come six weeks
after the first mournful note of the might
grasshopper " as it is sometimes called, 10
sounded The katydids were first heard
this year in Connecticut about Aug. IA,
so that snow is looked for by the be
levers" about the end of September. The
katyd1d is peculiar beastie" and selects
its stopping place without any apparent
regard to fixed rules
In Hartford and in all the cities of New
England whose streets are bordered by
trees, there are certain avenues that re-
sound half the night with the harsh, noisy
concerts of innumerable katydids, while
on the next thoroughfare, though it offers
every inducement in the way of foliage,
not katydid is heard. In Norwich,
Conn, dark, tree-shadowed Broadway is
so infested for two months by the insects
that passing strangers pause in astonish-
ment, mystified by an uproarious clatter.
So loud and clamorous was the katydid
concert in the trees about the walls OF
Park church, that city, one Sunday even
clergyman was compelled to dismiss the
congregation, as he was unable to make
himself heard above the din. On other
outrageous streets in the city, not two
blocks away from the church, katvdid is
rarely heard The same popularity of the
insects is noticeable also in the woods,
there being certain quarters that they fire.
quent in armies and others that they per
sistently avoid.

4 CHARACTER IN GAIT.
Men who Walk in Wicked Ways
Gait of the Good.
TAIta California;


1t Is well to beware of the man who car
ries his left foot in toward his right in
walking, giving the impression that his
right foot turns out and his left turns in.
This man is petty larcenist He may
perhaps have never stolen in his life. but
that was because of fear, or lack of oppor-
tunity, but all the same he is liable at any
time to sequester unconSidered trif1es for
pure wantonness. He is of kleptomaniac
nature, but he is not nearly SO dangerous
as the man who deliberately lifts his legs
up from the thigh as though he was going
upstairs That man is natural and edu-
Gated villain. In England, where the
tread mill is used in prisons, many con-
victs acquire that peculiar step, but it is
the matt al, careful, cat-like tread of the
criminal. The girl who walks with fiat
foot planted squarely on the ground, as
though she wanted it to. grow there, may
not be as attractive as the girl with the
arched instep, but she is a good deal better
natured, She is sure to be a good nurse,
kind-hearted, sympathetic, anxious to bear
the burdens of others, while the girl with
the arched foot is nearly sure to be selfish,
and certain to be a coquette if she walks
on her toes.
The man of short, nervous steps il
always business man of energy, but If
the stride is from the knee only, he is cold
and selfish, caring for no one but himself.
The man whose stride is long and at the
same time energetic, is generally bright,
always erratic and Unbalanced, often con-
ceited, always careless fond of admira
ton, generally willing to sacrifice much
for praise and eclat, and, while often q
good fellow. generally unreliable. The
diplomat and the fnancier have a smooth,
gliding walk hard to describe but easy to
recognize. There is nothing sneaking
about it. but it betokens careful delibera-
ton, as though every step were duly con-
sidered before being made.
Great statesmen and great philanthro-
pists always have loose, shambling gait,
which comes of thinking about others
more than about themselves. The strut
of the vain man, the lettering trip of the
"dude, 5" the lounging gait of the unem-
ployed club man. are all too familiar to re-
quire description. To say that a person
walks like lady or like gentleman is
high praise. The gait can never be picked
up in after life, it must be born in a man
or woman, and cultivated in early youth.
It is lost to a man when he falls into bad
ways, for so surely as he loses his con-
seriousness of rectitude and pride of honor,
so surely will he pick up the gait of the
Ioafer. An honest man, gentle or simple,
never walks like thief, and thief can
never counterfeit the gait of an honest
man, but, in attempting to apply these
rules to men, one knows 1t must be re-
membered that all thieves are not caught,
and all suspected persons are not bad.

Relieved by a Word.
IAsbury Park Journal

Two ladies who passed down Goodman
avenue yesterday suffered careful scru-
tiny from all they met They were so
much alike there seemed no difference be-
tween them in feature, face, height or size,
even as they stood side by side. To make
matters more complicated they were
dressed precisely the same, and each car
ried black silk umbrella in her left hand.
One man thought he was drunk and seeing
double. The worried expression on his
face vanished in an instant when he heard
some one whisper, twins.

WATER AGAIN.

EDlToR BULLETIN In your issue
of last evening, | was much inter
ested to learn of the increased flow
of water in the Honolulu system of
artesian wells. From an experience
of three years at Mokuleia in Waia-
lua, do not think the wells have
diminished in the flow of water, for
in every subsequent rice crop, q
larger acreage is planted, with the
same number of wells, which is in
part due to the better tamping of
the beds of the patches. One 7s
inch well in a good locality supplies
the water for thirty acres.
AS / was the first person, in this
district, to commence boring for
water and against the advice of
many friends, l feel that l am most
interested in the proper economy of
very valuable water supply, and
Immediately on feeling sure that my
wells were success, l ordered from
New York the most improved globe
valves for regulating the flow, and
which cost on landing some $3.50.
Each flowing well is capped, and
during the interval between crops
the water is shut off, though l will
admit it takes much of my time to
follow up the tenants in this respect.
The flowing of portion OF the
water into the sea cannot be pre-
vented on account of the sandy
nature of the bed of the patches,
for should the water be shut off,
when the patch nearest the sea was
full, in very short time after the
water would have supped away in
the upper patches, leaving them
hard and dry. The continuous flow
of water through all the patches is
a great benefit to growing crops
and prevents stagnation.
One thing more, to show you that
! am alive on the economy of water,
and | will close. Can you furnish
me with information that will guide
me as to the best place of pumping
the water, that flows into the sea to
a higher level than the level of our
water head, which is twenty-five
feet, differing from the Honolulu by
eighteen feet six inches. l have
made many inquiries and thus far
unsuccessfully. To make it profit
able the cost of raising the water
must be limited, to supplying the
same above this level at SIP per
acre. CASPER SYLVIA.

TEMPERANCE EDUCATION.

In the various phases OF the
temperance reform of the present
time, there is none more important
then the effort to introduce the
study of physiology and hygiene,
with special reference to alcoholics
and narcotics into the public schools
of those countries in which the sys-
TEN of public school education has
been established. And the move
ment has met with wonderful sue
cess. Within less than four years,
fourteen of the States of the Union
together with the Provinces of the
Dominion of Canada have placed in
their school laws new clauses max
ing this kind of instruction obliga-
tory on all schools supported by
public funds. These authoritative
endorsements of the precept, ''train
up child in the way he should go"
one of the ways in which he should
90 being the way of total abstinence
from all Intoxicating beverages-has
been brought about largely through
the exertions of the Woman's Christ
ian Temperance Union. The princi-
pal worker in carrying on the agita-
ton in the United States was Mrs.
Hunt of Massachusetts. a series of
text books was prepared under her
supervision, of which the following
named were adopted at a recent
meeting of the w. c. T. U. in Phila-
delphia: Hygienic Physiology for
high schools by Joel Dorman Steel,
Phi. D.; Hygiene for Young People,
for intermediate schools, prepared
under the direction of the scientific
department of the w. c. L. T., and
endorsed by A. b. Palmer, M. d.,
LII. D.; and the Child's Health
Primer, for Primary classes. In the
Canadian Provinces, Richardson $
Manual and Lees Text Book have
been adopted, and their introduction
is due to long course of agitation
persistently and strenuously main
tanned by the Sons of Temperance,
Templars, and Total Abstinence
societies of various names, and lat
terly by the Dominion Temperance
Alliance and the w. G.. L. u. All
these books are finely illustrated
and carefully prepared, and there is
no doubt that careful examination
will convince anyone of their in
trinsic value. With respect to the
use of these books, it may be added
that neither Mrs. Hunt nor the w.
c. L. U. have any pecuniary interest
in their circulation. This is one Of
the new questions that will probably
come up in the Teachers convention
next week, although not on the
official programme. The question il
one of far-reaching Importance, a'
everything is that concerns thu
moral and physical status of The
people who, in the future, are to bt
entrusted with the destinies of this
inter-ocean Kingdom.
