Death Of Henry j. Hart.

One of the best-known figures in this
community is removed by the death Of
Mr. Henry J. Hart, which took place
about 80 o'clock on Friday morning.
He had not been in good health for a
long time, but his fatal illness only
kept him from business one week.
The late Mr.. Hart was a native of
Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies, and
came to this country early in the fifties.
His age was about 5S years. In the
early years OF his residence he was in
the whaling business at this port, and
up to his death held the position of ship
ping master, Within many years past
he has been in turn keeping restaurants
and doing a confectionery and fancy
baking business, at death being head of
the firm OF Hart & Co., manufacturing
confectioners and proprietors OF the
Elite Ice Cream Parlors. He was a
busting, energetic man Of business to
the last
Mr.. Hart was twice married in Homo
lulu, his second wife surviving him. He
has left six children, Edmund, the eld-
est son, being married, and there are
two sons in California. The funeral
took place at 4 80 in the afternoon, Rev.
H. II. Parker conducting religious SER
vices, and MIR. Frank Godfrey, c. G. Of
Oahu Lodge, K. of P, leading in the
mortuary ritual of that Order, whose
members turned out largely in body,
wearing their insignia. A great cortege
followed the lamented citizens remains
to Nuuanu Cemetery.

The REPUBLIC of Venice.

Mrs. Williams lecture on the Republic
of Venice Tuesday night drew very fair
audience, and a very appreciative one as
well, if we may judge from the burst OF
spontaneous applause which followed
the close of the lecture. The hour was
devoted to a study Of the history Of
Venice which was at once thorough and
brilliant. The sources OF the Venetian
power, the causes OF her wonderful emf
hence in commerce and in politics, were
carefully considered, and the whole put
before the audience in that vivid, con-
crete way, which alone can clothe alb
stractions with life. The story of Venice
as Mrs. Williams told it, is a very stir
ring one, and we believe there were few
present in whom it did not waken re-
sponsive thrill. 1t is to be regretted that
our space does not permit a full analysis
of the lecture, especially as there was
much in it which suggested an applica-
ton to our own conditions here.
The last lecture Of the course follows
on next Tuesday evening Subject;
Arthur Schopenhauer.

EAST MAUI SEMINARY.
Another Appreciative Report-Beautiful
for Location and Emcient in Results.

Last week Thursday the East Maui
Girls Seminary held its annual closing
exercises.
There was large audience and all
we're much interested. The examina-
ton showed thorough work in arithme-
tic, geography, physiology, English read
ing, writing, analysis and composition,
The singing was sweet and inspiring,
the calisthenics vigorous and graceful.
The Rotations and dialogues were efec-
lively rendered; the compositions show
ed good command OF English and
growth OF thought
The location of this Seminary is pro-
baby the most attractive and healthy of
any educational institution of the Ha-
waiian Islands. At an elevation OF some
two thousand feet above the sea, on the
slopes OF grand old Haleakala, it looks
down upon the fertile plain, the curving
bay OF Kahului, the beautiful mountains
and valleys OF West Maui, with Molokai
and Lanai showing dimly in the distance
over the blue waters. The Hawaiians,
with their accustomed descriptive and
poetic felicity, have named the Seminary
g Mauna Olu" Mount of Ease or Mount
of Refreshing).
The aptness of the title is seen in the
fact that the students here are seldom
ailing and that the teachers appear to
endure their hard work better, perhaps,
than those in any of our other boarding
schools. The Seminary has fine grounds,
good buildings, and an excellent corps
of teachers. All that it needs is suffi-
cient funds to enable it to be an increas-
ing blessing to the nation.
The school and the Makawao COM
munity are rejoicing in the coming of
Mrs. Locke of Connecticut, to take the
place OF Miss Potter, who during her
seven years self-denying lsbors in the
Seminary endeared herself not only to
her pupils and associates but to all who
knew her.

EGGS IN WINTER.

 Let me tell you how 10 have eggs all winter, if you .have young hens of any good laying breed, or rather, l will tell you how I have them and you may do likewise. We have comfort able, but very cheap hen-house packed with straw around three sides. The south side or front IS left clear for a door, and window made by placing four sashes containing six lights of eight by ten glass in TOW. The perches are opposite the windows and nests underneath.
 For feed I give the hens plenty of milk and in freezing weather heat it. before giving it to them. keep a large stove kettle especially for the purpose and cook all the turnip and potato pealings, and throw into it all the table scraps and scraping of the pots and kettles. Ohce a day, early in the morning, fill the kettle nearly full of milk, and after heating 1t hot, thicken
 
 have, and two or three times week I stir into it heaping teaspoonful of black pepper. If did not have milk I should use water and mix scraps of meat and l;rd 'crac kings with it.. The hens gather round me when take this steaming kettle of feed to them so I can scare fly get room to pour it into their feed pans. l feed oats a good deal but never dry. pour over a bucket half full of oats, enough milk 10 swell them, and let them soak sev- eral hours, generally from one feed to the next. The milk will be absorbed and there will be no danger of the oats sv cling in the crop.
 At butchering time, boil the flyers, lights and any other scraps which are left, in large kettle outdoor; saltin g slightly and throwing in red pepper or two, and feed it out as l need it, two or three times a week. Of course my hens get more or less corn, but l make it my special care to see to the milk all the time. and warm feed once a day. l have fresh eggs all winter, and when they bring twenty five cents. a dOzen.ole faels Nell repaid for the trouble. We do not keep the hens shut up all the time, only irr very cold, stormy weather. aad on bright days they range on tine farm. Mrs. James R. Hinds, iH Pratrei Farmer |

The Advantage of Rest.

There is no better preventive of nervous exhaustion than regular, un- hurried, muscular exercise. If we could moderate our hurry. lessen our worry, and increase our open-air ex- ercise, large proportion of nervous diseases would be abolished. For those who can not geta sufficient holiday the best substitute is an occasional day in bed. Many whose nerves are con- stantly strained in their daily voca- tion have discovered this for themselves. A Spanish merchant in Barcelona told his medical man that he always went to bed for two or three days whenever he could be spared from his business, and he laughed at those who spent their holi- days on toilsome mountains. One of the hardest-worked women in En- gland, who has for many years con- ducted large wholesale business. re- tains excellent nerves at an advanced age, owing, it is believed. to her habit of taking one day week Tn bed. If we can not avoid frequent agitation, we ought. if possible, to give the nerv- ous system time to recover itself be- tween the shocks. Even an hours sc- clusion after good lunch will deprive a hurried, anxious day of much of it's injury. The nerves can often be ovcr- come by stratagem when they refuse to be controlled by strength of will. Ja7nes Muir Hoacie, in Ninetcenth Gen. f7t9lJ

Instantaneous Photography.

Instantaneous photography is no longer a question to be determined by study and experiment, but has as- sumel the place of an accomplished and familiar fact, One of most inter- esting achievements in this direction, as described in a London paper. orig;- mated in the question as to whether the upper part of the wheel of vehi- cle when in motion travels faster than the lower part In determining this matter by instantaneous photography, the artist took the photograph of an omnibus en route, and in this photO-' graph, while the lower ends of the spokes immediately adjacent to the ground are not perceptibly unshap- ened by the motion. the tops of the upper spokes show an angnlar motion corresponding to about ten degrees.

Good Fortune that Came by Chance and
 Business sagacity.
 One can not help being struck with the important part the clement of chance plays in the history of most men who acquire great fortunes.
 It is peculiarly illustrated m the career of Thomas H. Williams, California six-mill ionaire. He went from Kentucky to the Pacific slope in 1S49, and settled in Virginia City, As attorney for a mining g company, be acquired claim against it for S1 ,500 for services, and when the company failed he bid in it's mine for the amount of his claim.
 He moved to San Francisco, years rolled on and the transaction had passed from his mind, when he was one day approached by representative of Flood, :Mackay 6 O'Brien, who offered him s100, 900 for hls long forgotten mine, ,.--.r
 Hewas not a greenhorn and he at once refused the offer, as he did successive offers of s250,OO0 and $500, 900. But when a member of the great firm came to see him with profrers of negotiation, they were not rejected and resulted in the reception of the firm s check for s6, ,0OO,O
