Answers to Correspondents.

"ZIP."-You are quite right, we do
not think the country is at present in
any danger; the critical moment was
passed when members laughed at the
folly of your personal spite instead of
showing themselves "thin skinned" as
you doubtless thought they would.
A. B.-The letters stand for "Bach-
elor of Arts" and not Appropriation
Bill as you surmise, although the APP
preparation Bill may be SO Abbreviated
before the Legislature gets through
playing with it, that it will be known as
the A B. act, hereafter, in official cir
cles where salaries are shorter than a
piece of string.
QUESTION: do not think thatany
member of the Legislature matter
which side he belongs to--would have
any trouble in getting all the inform
alton wanted, provided it is sought in
the proper manner. As you suggest,
however, we are constrained to say
that in some instances the search for
information, which some members de-
mand on subjects they should have
looked up before taking their seats, is
carried to an impolite extreme. This
could be avoided by a more polite
course, but would probably enervate
one of the arguments so often re.
hashed about guarding the peoples in
terests, which means, in some cases
taking out "my little personal spite"

California Wines.

The California wines, manufac-
tured by Messrs Arpad Haraszthy &
Co., and first introduced here through
the enterprise of Mr. Hamilton John
son, of Queen street, have for some
time past been asserting themselves as
rivals to the best class of other foreign
and American wines, once SO generally
used in Honolulu. These California
wines are as fine in flavor as other inn
ported wines and are furnished at a
greatly reduced price by the enterprise
of this firm. We call the attention OF
the public, who thirst after good things,
to the large advertisement of the wines
of Messrs. Arpad Haraszthy & Co., for
which Hamilton Johnson is the sole
agent.

Memorial Day.

Commander R. w. Lame of Geo.
w. De Long Post, G. A. R. has de-
cided that Saturday, May 2oth is un-
der the circumstances, the only avail
able day to observe here as Memorial
Day; the G. A. R. laws provide for the
observance of the day, when it occurs
on Sunday, naming the following day,
which throughout the United States is
legal holiday; this cannot be done
here, as Monday is one of the two
busiest days of the week, and the
members of the Post, as we'll as the
several military companies intending to
participate, are SO situated as to pre-
vent their attendance in the ranks on
other than Saturday. Arrangements
are being made for fine display, II
is hoped all places of business will be
closed in the afternoon of Saturday the
10th, thus enabling all to join in the
observance of the day. The teachers
of the various schools here have beer
asked to urge the children to bring
flowers to the Post room on Kins
street, during the forenoon of Satur
day.

Dentistry for Horses.

The practice of dentistry in the case
of horses is certainly new thing any
where, but in St. Louis it is decidedly
80. For several years it has been used
in the East, but it is only very recently
that DR.. J. G. Kelly introduced the
practice in all its branches in this vicin-
ity. Formerly the equine teeth were
placed in proper order by the use, of the
ile. Crooked teeth were Strengthened
and dccaycd teeth extracted, but now
the latter are receiving the necessary at
tention and good horse need not suffer
long from bad tooth.
It may seem simple to fill decayed
tooth in horses mouth but when the
horse happens to be valuable one, and
is really suffering from pain, is unable to
eat the proper amount of food, and is
fretful when bit is put in his mouth,
such an operation will place him on his
nominal behavior ut once. DR.. Kelly
has filled several teeth in the mouths of
different road animals, and has made

Aerial Fights Among Birds and Bees.

Fights for the possession of nesting
places sometimes lead to curious results.
Long years ago Penshurst, the home ot
the Sidneys, was happy in the ornament
of noble heronry. There was u rook-
cry there as we'll. Rooks and herons
both built in the beautiful lime avenue
which fanks the place. Save for little
pickering and passing squabble, for a
long time all went well. But winter
storm laid low some of the noblest trees,
and tradition tells how, one spring day,
a quarrel begun in clamor ended in fight,
rocks and herons rising high into the ali
and waging there their windy war. The
fight went on with varying success;
but numbers prevailed at last, AMI the
herons leaving in body, sailed away to
Gotham, the first founders of the heron
ry which still remains. 1t must have
been a spendid sight, that aerial conflict.
There were other trees in Peushurst park,
but none so tall as these. It was pure
pride, for in the bog of Allen, herons, fol
want of trees, have been known to nest
on the bare ground, and on Salisbury
Plain rocks build in large numbers in
low elder scrub no higher than ones
head.
In the roof of the house in which we

garden a battle royal takes place for the
possession of the roof, the new swarm
attacking and the roof defending,
until the ground beneath is covered with
