PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
OF the Hawaiian Electric Com
pany.

l'ahy'
The rapid growth which has taken
place within a few years in the utiliza-
ton of electricity for the purposes of civ
ilized communities illustrates the avidity
with which mankind avails itself of eco
nomic and convenient discoveries in the
application of natural forces.
The lighting OF the streets Of Honolulu
by electricity has been beneficial, and +,
so far as it has gone, satisfactory. 1t is
hoped that the system will be extended.
The furnishing of incandescent lights
for buildings by the Government has
created strong demand for such lights,
but the extent of the incandescent sys-
tenn is limited and it does not seem prob
able that it will be increased.
There exists a strong desire that a
reliable system of lights for business
places and dwellings should be made
available to all parts of the city.
With the hope of accomplishing this
purpose it is proposed to form Joint
Stock Company to erect works and sup
ply lights, and power if required to the
different districts of Honolulu.
1t is thought advisable to commence
by the erection Of two plants. One to be
located near the centre Of business to
supply business houses and public build
lngs In addition to such dwellin-s as
may require it, and the other to be
located on the plains in central posi-
ton which will enable it to supply the
residents in every direction. These to be
followed by such extension as shall be
found desirable.
1t is apparent from inquiries which
have been made that the number OF
lights which will be required as soon as
it will be possible to furnish them is
sufficient to justify the erection OF a one
thousand light plant at each station, with
provision for the rapid duplication and
increase Of the inaugural rover. Esti-
mates of the cost of these two stations,
including the erection of all necessary
lines are as follows:
Two so horsepower steam plants
erected OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 5000
Buildings required ............ 1000
Dynamos and all connections 80. 10000

The Walk of the Farmer.

1t is well known that country folk,
from being so constantly on their feet,
are usually blessed with understandings
of more generous proportions than those
of their city cousins, who, tempted by
the facilities for rapid transit, too often
deny themselves sufficient exercise. This
applies more particularly to the men. l
have seen some country bred maidens
with the neatest, slenderest and most
dapper little feet in the world. But then
they don't plow from dawn to sunset.
As rule, however, countryman can
be detected in a city by the size of his
extremities.
Following the plow, too, naturally in
duces a jerkiness of gait-a peculiar un-
certainty about the body's motion, which
only a long residence in a city can en-
tirely remove. In the man from the
districts where the land is still very
rough these marks of his calling are ac-
centuated. Where the land is full of
burnt stumps and rocks blowing requires
considerable strength and more skill,
and the continual bracing up of the
plow in the burrows has a tendency to
make the farmer get into the habit of
walking with his legs wide apart, as
in this position he obtains greater con-
troll over the plow and maintains his
equih ihbrium.-Detroit Free Press.

A Detroiter who deals in real estate,
law, insurance, loans, lawsuits, politics,
ETC., went over to Chicago the other day.
While nearing that city man came to
him and confdentially remarked:
'fThere's chap in the car back there
trying to get a $50 bill changed. It's a
base counterfeit, and 1 want to put you
on your guard"
He was warmly thanked for his kind
ness and passed on, and five minutes
later man appeared with bill in his
hand and asked:
Friend, can you change this twenty?
Sorry to say can't, was the prompt
reply.
"Well, let me have ten and you keep
the bill until we get to Chicago"
Cant do it"
Cant you let me have five?'
"No."
Perhaps you are afraid of the bill. I
don't claim to know much about money.
Is it good or bad?'
''It's counterfeit"
"NoI'
I'm sure of it."
sit can't be. I'll bet the face value o.
it that it is a good bill. Lend me So on
it, won't your
mo, sir, but I'll take that bet of yours
that the conductor won't accept it as
good"
"Well, it will be worth $50 to find out
about it" said the stranger, and off they
went to the conductor.
"Give me two tens for this?' brusquely
queried the stranger, as he handed out
the bill
"If l can," replied the conductor,
scarcely glancing at it.
He made out ten and two fives and
passed them over, and the Detroiter
handed over the amount of his bet,
kicked himself into the next car, and he
never saw bit of Lake Michigan as the
train made its way into Chicago.-De-
troit Free Press.

A Dogs Education,

Given an equal amount of intelligence
at the start, a dog which has been well
trained is worth twice as much as one
untaught. 1t is as true of dogs as of
men. Education counts.
Do not undertake to teach a puppy
unless you have large stock of patience.
Unless you can control your temper and
be persistent in teaching your best
course is to buy dog already trained.
But if you want real dog love and con-
fidence take the animal in his puppy
hood, as soon as he is able to feed him
self, and your efforts will be crowned
with greater success than ever comes
otherwise. No dog ever loves any one
so well as his teacher, who represents to
him tine wisdom and power of the world.
A dogs world, you know, is very mar
row one.
Suppose yourself the owner of pup
py. He is entirely ignorant. 'Come
here!' $50 therer' mean the same to
him, since they mean nothing at all. He
must first learn what you want, and
there you must give yourself the first
lesson in patience.
Begin with, "Come here!' You can
make him understand what this means
by allowing him to see his food in your
hand. Teach him nothing else until he
knows perfectly what that means and
obeys it.
When he comes to you pat him and
pet him. Dogs are much like children,
fond of praise and equally fond OF their
own ways. If you tell your dog to come
to you make him do it. If he never dis
obeys he will never know he can disobey.

The Age of woman's Rights.

The century's closing decade may
bring to woman a far wider and fuller
entry into her domain. 1t is but a little
over four decades-less than forty-two
years ago-since the meeting of the first
woman's rights convention. The women
who did the pioneer work, making not
only that convention but all that has
followed it of right and justice to wom-
en- possibility, are some of them still
with us. Those of them who have ''gone
over to the majority" went thither with
in the full memory of a generation now
living and working. The names of Lu-
cretia Mott, of Angelina and Sarah
Grimke, of Frances D. Gage, of Abby
Kelly Foster, of Sojourner Truth, born
a slave and rightfully coming to wear
the title of the 'Libyan Sibyl," were but
a few years ago answered to on earth by
their possessors. Today they may be
well written on every woman's golden
roll of remembrance of the dead.-Susan
E. Dickinson in Scranton Truth.

College Graduates.

1t is about time for the college gradu-
ate" sneer to be dropped, anyway. 1t is
safe to say that the cases in which col
legiate education unfit man for business
are so few and far between as to deserve
no consideration compared to the inesti-
mable benefits which such an education
really brings to all who are willing to
profit by their early training. No one will
attempt to assert that a college course will
transform a born fool into sound bust
ness man, but it is as equally absurd to in
innate that it will transform born bust
ness man into a fool. The training in a
collegiate course is largely mental, and its
aim is primarily to teach students to think
for themselves.
If thinking man is doomed to failure in
every branch of practical business, then
arrangements should promptly be made to
endow idiot asylums in order to furnish
new Napoleons of finance for the stock
market and railroad managements. It is
also curious, if collegiate education has so
deleterious an effect as its detractors init
mate, that the leading banking and rail-
road kings have endowed universities,
schools and colleges, and have so bitterly
regretted in many cases that their own
education was not equal to that which
they were determined to give to their chill
iren.-Boston Advertiser.
