THE DAILY
MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Again the swift revolving seasons
bring round the day, sacred above every
other in the calendar, to love and good
cheer. Coming down to us through so
many centuries of joyous observance, OF
mingled religious and domestic festivi-
ties, and rich with the clustering associa-
tions and memories of far-reaching
past, Christmas comes home to our feel
iugs and affections as does no other festi-
val sacred or secular. The only other
day which at all approaches and
resembles it is the New England Thanks
giving as celebrated in its pristine glory
among genuine New England people, a
day which has been called, not inaptly,
the Puritan Christmas. To those bred
in a more northern CLINE, where Christ
mas seems to have it's most natural and
congenial home, the day in the tropics
eau never seem quite the same, or en-
tirely fill the ideal which fingers in the
memory. We miss the crisp wintry air,
the snowy and leahess landscape, and
above all the genial blaze around which
. gather for the evenings merriment.
But after all it is our skies we change and
not our natures. Love and good will,
peace and charity, thankfulness to God
and consideration for our less fortunate
neighbor are lessons just as appropriate
and perhaps quite as much needed in
Hawaii as in the lands where most of our
readers had their nativities. Those SER
sibilities within us to which these ideas
appeal belong not to any race or people,
but are the attributes of our common
humanity. May we all accept and prac-
tise the lessons of the day. In this spirit
we would wish not only to our readers,
but to all, A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

the White Pasha -; all think that he
probably joined hands with Emin early
in the present year, and all consider his
return and communications to be seri-
ously impeded. He must lack force and
means for returning over the difficult
Nile route must be too formidable for
any attack in which Emin and Stanley
can unite. The remaining route to the
Eastern coast has for a year been
blocked by hostile tribes, and lately the
whole interior of that coast has broken
into violent hostilities in consequence Of
German aggression.
There appears therefore to be cause for
almost as much anxiety as to how STAN
ley is to emerge from the interior, as
even to learn how he Jared in reaching
Emin. The latter, resolute chief of the
Soudan That he is, repels all thought OF
forsaking his post. Stanley is rich in
experience and resource. Unless his
rare skill and courage now fail to bring
his wonted good fortune, we shall in due
time hail his temperance with fresh
chapter Of great adventures hardly sur
passed by his immortal transit down the
Congo.
Since the above was written, the Ma
riposa brings an apparently reliable re-
port that Emin has been defeated and
made captive by the Mahdi, and with
him a traveller who is probably Stanley.
The latter would, of course, have stood
by Emin, and have shared his fate. The
calamitous condition of those two heroes
appeals loudly to the Christian nations
for succor. What can be done for them,
and what will be done, are questions for
whose answer we must anxiously wait.

KohaIa Roads.


Mr.. EDITOR: The people of this dis
trict are rejoicing as never before, in ex-
cellent roads.
From Mahukona on eastward, to the
Hamakua line, our highways have been
or are being put into very superior order.
If these are Reform roads, as doubtless
they are, then commend us to this sort
of practical reform all our days. The
more, the better.
The district is largely indebted to Mr..
Il. P. Wood, the indetatigable head OF
our road commission, as we'll as to his
fellow-commissiopers for their new
source of enjoyment--for their services
are without pecuniary remuneration.
Mr. Wood particularly, as the executive
of the Road Board has been called to be-
stow large amount of personal atten-
ton upon this public service, affording
US thereby gratifying evidence that the
class of public spirited citizens has not
yet fully passed away from among US.
If all other districts are as highly fav-
ored in this matter of roads as we are,
there will be cause for general jubilation /;
and the islands will justly be entitled to
the credit of substantial civilization as
attested by its superior highways.

WHERE IS HENRY M. STANLEY ?

News from the heroic explorer is still
waited for Now that his lot is so close
ly linked with that of the brave and
faithful Emin Pasha, Germany and Eng
land, as we'll as America, wait for intelli-
gence with an anxious interest, unequal
led since Gordon's fate hung on Wolse-
ley's belated expedition to KhartoUm.
Stanley left Yambuya, his last camp on
the Congo navigation, on the 18th OF
June, 1887. He had to traverse an I'M
Nyanza. This was FIVE hundred miles
distant In straight line. The last word
from hIm was dated Jnly 10Th, three
weeks later. For seventeen months the
outer world has had no word from him.
But neither has any intelligence come
from Emin since November I'd, 1887.
The depths of the Dark Continent are
not given to transmitting intelligence.
Sir Samuel Baker was not heard from
for twenty-nine months, and he had
four steamers with him on the Nile
branches.
Two uncertain reports had transpired,
however The latest and most definite
was by Arab traders who are said to
have encountered SANKEY'S rear guard
in November, 1887, some two hundred
and twenty miles west of Wadelai. He
was said to have two hundred and fifty
men remaining out of the four hundred
with which he started from Yambuya,
and to be confident of getting through
in short time. The other report came
by way of Khartoum on the Nile. A
white Pasha" was known by general
report throughout the Nile basin, to be
fighting his way down the Bahr-el- Gazal.
Nearly all the best authorities agree in
the belief that such report could arise
from nothing else than the progress of
Stanley's powerful force through the in
terror. The name ''White Pasha" would
the more naturally be given to the COM
mander of fifty white men.
In the December number of the North
American Review, is symposium of
four articles upon SANKEY'S whereabouts,
written by Lord Wolseley and three
other specialists upon African matters.
They show remarkable coincidence of
opinion. They all agree that Stanley is

Cargo of S, 5. Westmeath.
For want of space the following docu-
ments were omitted from our San Fran
cisco letter in publishing it:
1. Letter received by Mr.. Claus
Spreckels from his correspondents at
Batavia:
"Java sugar is sold by color alone,
according to the well-known Dutch STAN
dards. The usual range of numbers of
an ordinary cargo are from lilly or
1918, the whole averaging 141a, 10.
Our quotations are always for No. ADS,
and in invoice an allowance OF 8 per cent
is made fer each number under Il and
charge Of 40 per cent made for each
number above IA d. S. The above
range of numbers, we are aware, Is IN
suitable for the United States require
ments on account OF the very high rate
of duty on sugars higher than NO. IL IN
color. We much lear that until an al
iteration in your tariff takes place we
shall be unable to arrange any business
of importance with your good selves IN
Java sugars.
''In former years it was possible to
arrange shipments of cargoes of first boil
ings, ranging from to Il or 13-average
1922 to 1i--but the rapid strides which
have taken place in the Improvement OF
sugar machinery have produced almost
a revolution In the manufacture OF sugar,
and now planters find it more profitable

higher numbers"

packages are delivered on the dock. The
samples, as far as taken, have been COM
pared with the " Dutch standard" and
all are found to be under l3. In the
meantime, however, | was inform that
tie entire cargo had been subjected to a
discoloring process, by which the sugar,
otherwise high in color, had been re-
duced below the Is standard. This in
formation [ deemed of sufficient impor-
lance to warrant me in entering into
would prove the correctness of the charge.

that the limited time given me for inves-
tigation would allow have submitted
samples to various chemists and experts,
but have gained but little information of
value from any of them except the in
formation contained In the report of DR..
Bowie, which l herewith attach. The
result OF DR.. BoWie's scientific test leads
me to believe: First, that the sugar in
question has been artifcially colored !;
second, that the sugar, before il was sub
jected to the discoloring process, was in
color 13 D. s.; third, if the sugar which
is still in the vessel proves to be the same
as that already delivered and sampled,
shall deem it my duty,to classify and re-
turn the whole cargo as between 13 and
II Dutch Standard.

A Good Thing For Boys.
American Magazine.

American Magazine.
Manual training is one of the few
good things that are good for every
body. 1t is good for the rich boy, to
teach him respect for the dignity of
beautiful work. 1t is good for the
poor boy, to increase his facility for
handling tools, if tools prove to be
the thing he must handle for living
afterwards. 1t is good for the book
ish boy, to draw him away from
books. But, most of all, it is good
for the non-booklsh boy, in showing
him that there is something he can
do well. The boy utterly unable,
even if he were studious, to keep up
in book-knowledge and percentage
with the brighter boys, becomes dis
couraged, dull and moody. Let him
60 to the work room for an hour, and
find that he can make a box or plane
rough piece of board as well as the
brighter scholar, nay, verylikely bet
ter than his brighter neighbor, and
you have given him an impulse of
self-respect that is of untold benefit to
him when he goes back to his studies.
He will be brighter and better boy
for finding out something that he can
do well. Mind you, it is not planning
the board that does him good; it is
planning the board in the presence of
other boys who can no longer look
down upon him when they see how
well he can plane. He might go
home after school and plane a board
in the bosom of his family, or go to
an evening school to learn to plane,
without a quarter part, nay, without
any, Of the invaluable effect upon his
manhood that it will have to let him
plane side by side with those who in
mental attainments may be his supe-
riors.

The Sewers of Paris

The idea of pleasure excursion
through a sewer must seem to dem
izen ofany of our large cities, who has
never visited Paris a most singular
event.
A visit to the catacombs which eX-
tend under large section of the city,
and an excursion through the sew
ers, which correspondent of a Chica-
go paper very faithfully describes,
affords to strangers probably as much
interest as anything they will see in
the great French metropolis.
We started, says the writer, from
the Palace Chatelet at three o'clock,
and descended a little winding stair
case, the steps and walls of which
we're covered with a green cloth
fringed by a red border. There was
not the slightest danger ofsoiling our
clothes or Of encountering the least
disagreeable odor. On arriving at
the foot of the stairs a fine display of
fruits and vegetables was the first
thing to greet our eyes. These pro-
duets were from Genncvillies, and

True--.True.-.True.

Rev. DR.. Pullman in Boston Globe.
On Bedloe's Island In New York
harbor stands the great statue of Lib
erty Enlightening the World-the
gift of France to America--its right
hand, stretched toward heaven, bears
a cluster of brilliant electric burners,
forming the most powerful light that
shines on land or sea. This light,
which is inclosed and defended by
heavy plate glass, is proving wonder
fully fatal to birds. Last summer OH
one morning alone, 1872 birds, actual
count, were found lying dead around
the foot of the statue. The great
light attracts, allures, dazzels and
maddens the birds; they fly toward
1t with amazing and uncalculating
swiftness and break their necks
against the defending glass. 20
This suggests the thought that
there are other creatures besides birds
who cannot bear the light of liberty,
and who dash themselves to pieces
in it. In sober truth, there are crea-
lures among us who have flown out
of darkness Of Old World despotism
into the light of our liberty, become
utterly dazzeled, confused and crazed.
1t seems to cancel all power of
thought and self-control. If the
light was not sternly defended, they
would put it out. AS it is, they
break their necks against the trans
parent but adamantine justice which
defends, and which can alone protect
the light of liberty.

tered by the sewers. We got into a
wagon in which there were seats for
twenty persons. olive went, showed
along by solid-looking fellows, all
neatly dressed. Above us was
mass Of tubes and pipes. They are
the water pipes, the two largest con.
tanning our drinking water from the
Vanne and water from the Ourcq,
which latter is used for washing the
streets and sidewalks. Then there
were the pneumatic tubes, in which
we could hear the rattle of tho dis
patch boxes.
Soon we reached the crossing OF the
pont Neuf. This tunnel was lighted
from end to end with garlands of
colored lamps. The effect was fairy
like. The same effect was produced
under the Rue de Lourue, the Rue
de Kicheliew, and the Place DIES Pyra-
mids, where precisely under the stat
ne of Joanof Arc appered in luminous
glass the arms of the city of Paris.
We passed along, still following the
Rue de Rivoli, where each house has
its number in the sewer, just as in
the street, until we reached the Place
de La Concorde. There the Electric
lights, crossing the fires with the re-
Election of the Venetian lamps, turn
the square into a sort of ball room.
Nothing was wanting, not even mu-
sic. We all got out of the wagons to
embark in boats, furnished with
cushioned seats. The music was in
the first boat, which was decorated
with flags and lamps. The boats
were started. We followed the en-
tire route of the Rue Royale by the
light of fifty dazzling electric lamps.

three minutes we were above the

AT this season there is hardly
household in which the mince pie
does not occupy place on the dinner
table. Children take mince pies to
school for their dinner-lunch. AT
least this was the custom in our
schoolboy days, and we presume it is
sostill in the rural districts. Now,
there is no better subject for an object
lesson than a mince pie. It's contents
have been brought from the four quar-
tiers of the globe, and to trace them to

which the crust is made comes from
Minnesota, possibly from the Pills

Describe the process of making roller
flour, now SO generally used. The
lard used in baking very likely comes
from Chicago or Cincinnati. The
meat is possibly from Texas steer.
The suet may have been obtained
from another State. The raisins come
from some Spanish vineyard. The
currants ripened in Greece. The cit

APPLYING MANURE.


Winter the Best Season in Which to do
This Important Work.
The proper time TO apply manure is
in the late fall or winter. Our grand
fathers used to think there was no
time TO spread manure but in the
spring. They were right then, but if
we think so now. we are wrong. Why?
Things have changed since then. They
had more snow in winter and
more rain in summer both of which
have great effect upon the soil. Then
the winter was very busy time of
the year; besides their chores, they
had ,husking and threshing to do,
which was done with the old-fash-
toned fail. There was wood TO chop
and countless other things to do by
hand, which are now done by ma
chinery.
Very many objections will be raised
to winter application. Some say ma
nure spread in the fall loses a great
part of its strength. How can itP 1t
is soon covered by snow. and what
would evqporate does not amount
to much anyway. Plant food
does not evaporate Then you
say perhaps on some soils it
may leach. ] do not think you ever
knew of case of the kind. in land
that was titled. 1t may leach il left in
piles or in a barnyard, or under the
caves; those are the places where
teaching occurs. Then. you say if
spread in the snow the best part of
the manure will wash off in the spring.
This very seldom happens The snow
melts gradually, and the ground is
thawing ut the same time, and it takes
up the plant food as fast as it comes
in contact with it. should not ad-
wise any one TO spread manure on a
steep hillside in the winter neither
would advise you to spread land that
was very much sloping on top of a
hard crust of snow; there are excep-
tons to all things. But brother
farmers. you will make money in more
than one way by spreading the
manure in the fall or winter. In the
first place you will save teaching and
other wastes in the barnyard; you
will save time, which is money, and
your crops will be enough better to
pay for all the trouble. M DGviS i'1
