From the Laupahoehoe Gazette. |

The railroad is a foregone conclusion,
and thus Hilo's tondly cherished hope
of many years is again scattered to the
winds. Our heart goes forth in ten
der sympathy to the little village that
would be city, and to the unfortu-
nate owners of town lots, in the will
derness of lava flows, on which, in
dreams, they had built such stately
residences for themselves. But, dear
sister village, let not your heart be
utterly cast down within you, and be
not utterly disquieted, for your ancient
glory remains to you still. Have you
not still your most beautiful crescent
beach of all the Pacific, lined by grass
huts and China shanties Your
wonderful dry atmosphere, with
rainfall of about six inches an hour:
your portly Governess, Respondent in
the charms and graces of royalty;

best of all, have you not still, in ali
the native intensity of his wit, the
only original writer to comfort and
console you? These things your bit
ter enemies in Honolulu have not
been able to deprive you of. Cheer
up, sister. You are not so desolate

The Crisis in France.

The overthrow of the Tirard Min
istry, after an existence of a few
weeks, is another illustration of the
slow progress which the French are
making in political education. Ii
rard was upset on motion to declare
the revision Of the constitution a
matter of urgency-a side-issue of no
Importance. The real purpose of the
opposition was to turn out Min
istry which had quarreled with
General Boulanger. and this pro
test served as well as any other. The
Bonapartists, who are opposed to all
republican ministries on principle,
threw their weight to the side of the
opposition, and the Chamber, by a
majority Of Il, outvoted the Minis
ters. The result will be the forma
ton of another Ministry, composed
Of persons holding precisely the
same principles as NJ Tirard and his
colleagues, but possibly not SO OBJ
noxious to the General, who seems to
be the coming Mephistopheles of
France.

AN IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.

We hear with pleasure of the pro-
! jected new road along the Waimanu
| bluffs, so that gay-gossipy-go-a
/ Hamakua may run over in the
morning in her wrapper to see
her more dignified and stately
elder sister Kohala. We are
pleased that this scheme is looked on
with favor, because we have in mind a
similar one, which otherwise we would
have hardly assurance enough to
broach That is, we would like to
have a tunnel built from Laupahoehoe
TO Kona. There are, TO be sure, two or
three ways of going to Kona now, but
they are long and roundabout, or cold
and wet, or dry and dusty. 4 tunnel
would be nice and shady on dry,
dusty day, and on wet days it would
be snugly rooted in from the cold
mountain rain.
We ourselves don't want to go to
hona. We could never bring our
selves TO exchange the gaieties of our
lie here for the quiet monotony of that
Acadian district But we know man
who has a pig in Kona that he wants
to bring over, and perhaps he would
bring it that way if he could.
Weearnestly recommend the scheme,
along with the Waimanu bluff road, to
the thoughtful attention of the coming
Legislature, and trust that as soon as
possible an engineering party NAV be
sent through along the route.

Value of First Impressions

full detectives in the city. SPY the obser-
vance of one simple rule" he replied. Il

Perhaps I might add another rule, and if
is this-if a mans personal appearance

conclude that the resemblance extends
to character, also. If you will adopt
these few rules, and act on them a few
years, you will be just as good judge
of men as / am. I remember that,
twenty years ago, rather venerable
looking man called on me, said he was a
minister and asked me to Subscribe q
dollar to some benevolent object I de-
clined, and when he had gone, got to
thinking how much he reminded me of q
noted horse-thief at the East that we used
to call cheeky Joe. Well, about ten years
afterward, I was looking for stolen
horse. I did a good deal of hard work
on the case, and at last got on the trail of
the thief. He lodged around from place
to place, but kept close up behind him
all the time, and at last bagged him:
why, have seen you somewhere Very

Growing Lettuce in Winter.
Prairie Farmer.

During the past five to ten years the
growth of lettuce in hot houses has be-
come quite business, and as a result
green lettuce can readily be purchased
all through winter. The houses in which
it Is grown are usually quite low, span
rooted, with a walk down the center 2
feet or so wide. On each side of this
walk is raised bench built of wood in
which Is a foot or so of soil for the plants
to grow in. The first batch OF seed will
be sown in some corner of the house
along in September or October. As soon
as large enough the plants are set in
rows or 8 inches apart, which is all the
room the crop requires for its growth.
Three or four crops are taken of during
winter from the same space, a fresh SOW
ing cf seed being made every month to
supply the plants. Of course the quantity
now grown has tended to reduce the price
to rather dangerous figures for the grow
er, but for those who raise vegetables as
a business winter is usually rather dull
time, and thus keeps the head and hands
busy, besides tending to provide q hold
on the market the year around. This is a
matter OF no small Importance to any
one who expects to have something to
sell in the regular season. The old-fash-
Toned way of raising celery with few
plants In hot-beds was beset with Difficult
ties in a severe climate, and the few seeds
grown We're hard to market, though
higher figures were obtained then, then
now. There is only one thing to guard
against in house growing, and that is the
green fly. However, with plenty of to-
bacco stems laid among the growing
plants and frequent fumigation with
the same, no one need fear the pest. The
houses are best heated by hot water or
steam, and to keep g continuous crop
ready all the time requires at least cou-
pie of hundred feet of house room. The
nearer the light the plants are, the better
they grow, hence low houses with benches
well raised are desirable. New soil should
be FUSED each year, and a dressing of
manure fer each crop, unless the soil is
very rich when first put ip the benches.

THE FARM.

Lard is not suitable as lubricator for
axles of wagons, as it is said TO loosen
the spokes. Wood tar is still largely used
and tallow is also an important ingredi-
emit, two parts of tallow, one of tar and
one of castor oil being considered excel
lent for cold weather.
convention of South Carolina farmers
at Columbia last week voted James NJ.
Brodham 20 be the model man of the
state. Mr.. Brodham is IS years old and
has plowed every summer for sixty-eight
years, having made fifty four crops on
the same plantation. He has never
bought q pound of bacon or lard or his
own clothing, never refused call of
charity, took his last drink of whisky in
1887. and does not recOllect having sworn
an oath.
lady expert in churning butter dur
ing the winter, writes as follows of an
expeditions method: IF you want good
sweet butter, strain your milk as soon as
it is MIXED in your pan or pail; sit it
over or In your kettle Of hot water on
the stove, and let scald almost TO a boil,
then set it as usual, aud you can make
nice butter in 20 minutes"
It will pay to warm all slop or other
soft food given cattle and hogs. The
warm water not only stimulates and in
vigorates, but provides warmth for the
body. Shelter and warm drinks on very
cold days will save more food than will
pay for the labor incurred. while the
health of the stock will be promoted.
To feed calves and young stock hay
and have them TO weigh no more in April
then they do in November is to lose hay
and labor; and TO feed a dairy that is
unproductiye on good hay and grain and
make the profit from da1rying off of grass
the next season, on low prices, is quite
as Improbable. II the COWS are to go
unproductive let them do so in grass and
hytime. Make the harvested crops pay a
profit.
The favorite remark of the country
store-keeper is: Support your own local
ity." This Is well enough, but you have
as much claim to support as the store
keeper, and there is no reason why the
locality should support him any more
than he shonld do his part to support it,
hence if he expects you to buy your goods
from him and pay more than city prices,
he should not require you to take less
than city prices tor eggs when trading
with him.

Barren Stalks.

Considerable discussion has been had
through the agricultural press concerning
barren stalks IN cornfelds, and some ap-
pear to believe that there are natural
drones in the corufeld as well as in the
beehive. If we understand the botani-
cal character of the corn plant, barren
stalk growing singly from a kernel of
corn Is always one that has not been quite
fairly dealt with, It may have oeen
crowded TOP hard by stronger compan-
IONS and deprived of sufficient plant food
or sunshine to obtain a normal growth.
Corn planted twice too thick will have
many barren stalks and abortive ears,
'nubbins," as we call them. SO a plant
standing alone and at considerable dis
tance from other corn plants may have
ears nearly or quite destitute of kernels,
because the pollen shed from the tassel
may have been carried by winds beyond
the reach of the silk on the ear.
Dent corn does not sucker, and why
should our fiints or sweet varieties need
to retain this habit? Certainly one good
stalk from each kernel planted, if it will
stick right to business, and grow Us two
good, well formed ears, will serve us much
better thaA if the vitality of the plant be
expended in growing superfuous fodder.
