Snakes Ave Not Snnkes.

The cause of persons whose nerves are
cited by protracted and excessive use
stimulants seeing the shapes of ami

Iolly to the imagination, says writer
3 the New York Times. In fact the
ncy only operates to induce a belief
at what is seen is alive and hideous.

It intrude themselves visibIy in the

It in the course of some diseases these

Chauncey's European Interview.

Before one of Chauncey NJ. Qepew's
departures for Europe, says the New York
Tribune, the probability of being at
tackled by European reporters was sug-
gested to him. The suggestion recalled
an incident which happened several years
ago. Il remember" he said, that
once a German reporter called upon me
and said that the newspapers of Ger
many had heard a great deal of the
American interviewer, and he Thought
an American interview would help him
with the paper which he represented.
"One would think" said MIR Depaw,
"that there was no chance for fun there
But after talking with the reporter for
an hour and a half told him that I
really could not give him any more time,
and then he wanted to know when he
could come for an American interview.
told him: My dear fellow, you have
been having it for an hour and a half I
afterward yielded to his earnest solicita-
tions and dictated an interview, and af-
terward corrected it. The manuscript
was still awaiting further corrections in
the office when left the country"

Children's Books In Alfred's Time.

AS might be supposed, the earliest book
that is assigned to the child is the Latin
grammar. Boys Latin grammars for
several centuries w , mere text books
compiled from the larger works of
Donatus and Priscian, and they were
commonly known by the name of
donates" or "Donete,"a a term which
occurs in "Piers Plowman." The word
grammar, on the contrary, was used
more in connection with Latin studies
generally, and science, as well as even
magical power, was sometimes spoken of
as grammarye. A very commonly used
school book in monasteries seems to have
been the "Consolations of Philosophy"
Tin the original, of course), by Boethius,
of which at least a fragment would
most probably be found even in the most
meaee er convent library"
The earliest book in existence written
expressly for boys is here stated to be
Aldhelm's "De Saptenario, de Metris,
Enigmatibus, ac p,dum Regulis, (which
probably appeared about the end of the
7th century. A great part of it consists
of dialogues between teacher and pupil,
in the style which was still popular in the
first half of the present century, and
may be found in such works as Mrs.
Markham's History. The Venerable Bede
is also claimed as writer for the young
A lesson book for children is attributed
to Alcuin, and it contains questions on
arithmetic which are said to be found
even in some current schoolbooks. Here
is specimen of them: "An old man met
a child. Good day, my son. says he;
may you live as long as you have lived,
and as much more, and thrice as much
as all this, and if God give you one year
in addition to the others you will be Just
a century DID, What was the lads
age?"
The first book given to his people in
English by Alfred the Great was the al
ready mentioned "Consolations of Phil
osophy," to which he added "The Uni
versal History of Orosius, a very favorite
book in monastery schools. In the 10th
century, Hlfric, "the grammarian,
wrote "Colloquy," intended as a read
ing book to help boys to speak Latin. 1t
consists e conversations about every day
life. In one place boy is made to say
that he is too young to eat meat; but he
was not too young to drink beer, as he
says that he drinks ale, "if he can get
it." In the same century appeared a
book on astronomy for children, as we'll
as map, now preserved in the British
Museum, less incorrect and having fewer
fabulous countries than some mado
later. The SATURDAY. Review.

Hotel improvements.

Hamilton Johnson, the manager OF
the Hawaiian Hotel, since he has
taken charge, has improved the house
in many respects. He is about to
make more Improvements for the
comfort of his guests. 1t is his inten-
ton to utilize the veranda on the
Richards street side of the house for
sort of cafe and lounging place. The
idea is new here, but has been sue
cessfully tried in other countries. Mr..
Ripley, the architect, has drawn
design for handsome covering Tor
the Yeranda. 1t borders a little on
the Swiss cottage pattern; the sides
will be of colored glass, with fancy
rope trimmings, making a beautiful!
effect. The cafe is intended for ladies'
use as we'll as gentlemen, and to that
end handsome staircase leading from
Richards street will be erected. The
inside will be handsomely furnished
and decorated with tropical plants.
The floor will be smoOthed ana
waxed. and be used for dancing when
ever occasion calls for it. This inno-
walton is bound to be popular; people
can drop in at any time and be served
with li1bt refreshments, or pass. away
their time in delightful lounglnlg
place. Mr.. Johnson also intends TO
build new band stand on the corner
of Hotel and Richards streets after a
handsome design seen in America by
Col. George Macfarlane.
Business at the Hotel is improving
wonderfully since Mr.. Johnson mas
been manager, and if energy and good
business management count for any
thing the house will be always de-
seryedIy popular.

Storage Batteries for Street Cars.

The rails for the Eighth-street cleo
trio road says the S. F. Chronicle of a
recent date, will probably arrive soon.
A new feature connected with this
road will be the use of storage bat
teries attached to each car, the over
head wire being done away with. e.
c. Sessions states that great saving
would result. No central station,
power-house or steam engine will be
needed, nor even place to take the
batteries to be discharged. Only a
shelter for the cars is required. 1t is
claimed that under the system to be
used the cost of running will be COM
paratively slight. The system is an
innovation here and will be watched
with interest by electricians and
others in this city, especially since
the Telegraph avenue line, owned by
the Southern Pacific, will probably
use the storage battery system. The
Berkley road is run by an overhead
wire

HOME INDUSTRY.

The Honolulu Iron Works have
employed staff of 200 men or more
and are still full of work and working
overtime occasionally.
The contract for the Kahuku nlan.
tatlon machinery is nearly COM
pleted. This contract has been de-
layed owing to changing the machin-
cry from diffusion to triple milling
and maceration.
The principal work going on in the
shops at present is the contract for
converting the Pahala Mills into
three sets of two rollers each, chang
ing the gearing between engine and
mills to give better ratio of speed,
and experimenting the boilers with q
pair of Young's exhaust steam heat
ers to utilize the waste heat now lost
IN the gases up the chimney.
These changes are made with a
view to extensive maceration on Mr..
Sam Faron's plan recently patented
In this kingdom and with a view
to doing all the extra evapora-
ton on the trash alone as fuel.
The Honolulu Iron Works have
also a similar job in hand for the
Union Mill Co., so far as changing
the mills to three sets of two rollers
each is concerned.
Waimanalo plantation is also re-
ceiving some new machinery from
the above institution, such as clarifi-
ers, precipitators, and remodelling
vacuum pan, making pipes for irri-
eating pump, etc.
Beyond the above there is nothing
of Importance going on in the shap
of new work, but the repair work has
been and is now quite extensive. Of
course it must be borne in mind that
although not more than 200 men are
generally employed, the Honolulu
Iron Works has capacity for work
ing three times that number if there
is demand for their labors.
