Give the Baby a Drink:

The other night I was on a late train
going out of New York, and I'm front of
me sat lady with her nurse and child.
The latter was remarkably pretty and
healthy looking child of about fourteen
months. Soon after the train started
the child began to show signs of un-
easiness, and soon, in spite of all the
efforts of mother and nurse to quiet it.

A Surgical Triumph.

A small tlmor was removed from an
important nerve in a patients arm,
and in the course of the operation some
of the nerve itself was taken away.
This was naturally followed by loss
of sensation In the part of the skin 10
which the nerve was distributed After
forty-eight hours the surgeon, having
obtained a piece of healthy nerve from
a leg which had Just been amputated,
proceeded to restore the continuity of
he patients nerve with the borrowed
niece IF tissue. The result was that
sensation returned in thIrty-siN hours,
aud there was every prospect of COM

without great cost to the Government.
and the result would be a great benefit
TO the people in general. 1t is not sur
prising that the express companies are
opposed to having a reduction made.
because their interest lies in keeping
the postal rate as high as possible, but
such opposition is only strong argu-
ment.

ALTHOUGH several European ma
tIons are reported TO have adopted a
smokeless powder for small arms, Gen
eral Benet reports that mo American
has yet submitted for trial a smokeless
powder" and yet he has reason TO Ue-
lieve that invention originated here.
y smokeless powder would enable the
Government to reduce the calibre of
small arms, thus reducing the weight or
the gun itself and OF the ammunition,
or, if the same weights should be car
ried, increasing the number OF rounds
OF ammunition served TO each soldier.

use with smokeless powderl would be
lighter than the usual sporting rife and
have bore not much more than half
the size of the present military weapon.

PORTUGUESE IMMIGRATION.
A Strange Statement by the Aurora
Hawaiiano.


The following extract is taken from AT
editorial published in Aurora Hawaiianc
under date of the 14th December, and re-
lates to the subject Of the proposed re-
sumption OF Portuguese immigration:
''If we consider this the most desir-
able of all countries and that offering
the best inducement to them and their
families, and that they could in course
OF time better their condition-we should
certainly be the first to invite, and even
encourage shem to come; but well know
ing the contrary, We advise all those
intended victims to stay where they are,
and not to think of embarking in such a
risky undertaking, because the final
result would be thousand times disas-
trous to their deluded imaginations, and
when repentance comes it will be too
late! When your contracts expire your
only resource will be to sign a new con-
tract, or otherwise to submit to the hard
fate that awaits you at the expiration of
your slavery.
''If there were no other better countries
whittier you could go, we should have
nothing to say. If you decide to leave
your native land, seek other countries a
thousand times better than this, which
can offer you greater advantages, and
where within a short time you may SUBJ
stantially better your lot-for instance
one, Africa, which offers a thousand
advantages, -Brazil, and finally the
north OF America, that admirable cradle
where all the nations of the world rock
at their ease.
'By the love YOU consecrate to your
families, by the love of your country,
and for the sake of your own future We
advise you-of two evils, choose the less,
that is, If you must espatriate yourselves
go to any one OF the countries, We have
mentioned but never commit the folly,
or be so unfortunate as to contract your
self to come to this place, of all places at
the present time the worst for Portu-
guese-where you will never be able to
lift up your heads, where you win have
to struggle constantly against the sad
fate that brought you here.
Finally We repeat-go where you
please to you must 60 but never to Ho-
nolulu, or the Hawaiian Islands. 1t
would be burying yourselves alive!
pure disinterestedness and love OF
humanity dictate these sentimentsl for
our whole desire and aim is to see our
countrymen happy and prosperous, and
not enslayed."

Hilo Happenings

There is some hope that the rain is
nearly ended at Hilo. 1t has certainly
been q very trying time for the workers
on plantations, and also bad for all the
roads leading into Hilo. The Hilo stores
have suffered also. although the fine
stocks of Christmas goods were very
temptingly displayed.
4 grand ball has been arranged for
New Years eve, at the Court house
hall.
1t is pleasant to have all the plantation
managers so satisfied with the decisions
OF the Appeal Board The lion and the
lamb are now most supremely docile and
as happy as if all were lambs.
4 meeting has been called latter sew
eral delavsl for this evening, the 18th
inst. to appoint committee who are to
consider candidates for Mobiles TO repre-
sent us at the next Legislature. 1t
seems rather hard to get the right men,
as il is difficult TO get the men whom the
people want, and who can leave their
business for so long time with such a
small compensation
