RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

"One Summer in Hawaii" by Helen Mather. It is said that there has been no book written on Hawaii within the last twenty years. A few articles have been found in the magazines, notably one in the "Review of Reviews" for September. Mrs. Mather then has the advantage of s topic not yet worn threadbare, field un- crossed by many beaten paths. Her style Is familiar and unconventional, and the reader enjoys with her the easy, pleasure seeking existence of these tropic islands where, as residents assert, everything noxious and dissgreeable is gift from abroad. The volume is beautifully print ed in clear, large type, and the numerous illustrations are from photographs and sketches made by MT. w. McDougall. The specially designed and very appropri- ate cover was furnished by Mrs. Mather. Cassell Publishing Co.,, New York. FoI sale by E. P. Judd.
 ''Ths Swan of Vilsmorta," by Emilis Pardo Bazsn, author of "A Wedding Trip" "Morrina," etc. Translated from the Spanish by Mary J. Serrano. A TO- mantle story, containing many fine touch. es and poetic descriptions. but pronoun cedly foreign in matter and style. Mad ame Bazan has been called one of the greatest literary artists of the nineteenth century, and this latest work, just added to Cassells Blue Library" is as pathetic and tragic as is is romantic. Cassen Pub fishing company, New York. For sale by E. P. Judd.
 "The Heart of Maid," by Beatrice Kipling. The success ot this took is il
 some measure assured by the name of thu author, and her relationship to the write of "Plain Tales From the Hills." No ont will suspect Miss Kipling of the least at tempt to rival her brother. She has con tented herself with semi-tragic love sto ry, quite as unremarkable, yet quite a' readable as thousands of other novels that are flooding the market. "Olgs's Crime, by Frank Barrett, author of "Fettered fol
 Life," etc. By some readers Barrett ii
 classed with Haggard and R. s. Stevenson and his relative merit as writer of exci ting and dramatic tales, considered worthy of discussion. "OIga's Crime" is thor | oughly original story, with strong charac ters and an intensely interesting plot | These two volumes are recent issues o Lovelrs International series, published bl

THE WATER BUSINESS,

Last evening at the meeting of the Board of Aldermen it was voted-13 to 9-and after full disc ussion, not to reconsider the vote in favor of long contract with the Water company. We have no doubt that this action will be heartily approved by most of the taxpayers. They are tired. They don't want the Water company's property at any price they would have to pay for it, and the efforts to make them think they do are not appreciated. They are fully of the opinion that their taxes are already high enough, and they hope that there will be no addition to them. They also realize that it would be no bene- fit to them to change the companies which now serve them satisfactorily into political machines.
 The aldermen who have stuck SO man fully to their convictions and voted to keep the city out of the Water business and the great expense and political evils which would go with it have done well. They have not deserved the assaults which have been made upon them, and they do deserve and will receive general commendation for their display of good judgment and backbone. It is to be hoped that the action of these aldermen will be initiated in the council.

TWO FINANCIERS.

Some inanciers in these days appear to hold rather liberal views of their obliga- tions to those whose money they handle. This is shown in the pleadings of two ex State treasurers of Wisconsin, sued at Madison for the recovery of interest on State funds deposited in bank by them while in office. The deposit in bank and the collection of interest are admitted. One of them, McFetridge by name, con- fesses in his plea to violation of law in depositing the funds in bank and collect ing interest thereon. He did wrong, but contends that his conduct being un, authorized, the State cannot profit by ii in taking the fruits of violation of law. That is, the e1-offcial pleads his own wrongful act as the best defense of a violation of law, and of his right to the fruits of it. The other ex- treasurer, Harshaw, whose case of simi. lar nature was tried in conjunction with that of McFetridge, stated in his answer to the State's petition that, inasmuch as he had employed an agent to deposit the funds and collect the interest, he could not be held accountable for it. He justified the taking of interest in special plea, or the ground that it would have partly in demni6ed him in case the bank holding tn, deposits had failed.
 These are decidedly "cheeky" pleas. I | remains to be seen how they will work We wonder the delinquents don't tell th' court that they ought to be set free ant thanked because they didn't steal all tn money of the State.

The Pup. the stork and the Apple.

He was just a common, everyday, yellow pup. And not nice, clean shade of yell low, either. In fact, to be candid, says the Chicago Inter-Ocean, he was what Jer- " Simpson would call 'ornery."
 The stork was bedraggled, dirty-looking, and apparently of 8 very mean disposition. It had been in the habit of sleeping some. where in the vicinity of a hog pen. Its feathers were badly ruffied and it was, or an average, rather a disgrace to a mensg erie.
 The stork and the pup were in the sams enclosure in Lincoln park. The puI found an apple. The stork found out tha the pup had the apple. Then the troubl, began.
 Tho pup wanted the apple all to himself to which the stork objected. The pul couldn't eat the apple but it could pla, with it. The stork wasn't much on play It wanted to eat the pups plaything. Now the only way the stork could kee that bit of fruit away from the pup was |

Jersey, several drafts at discount of if teen per cent. When the bank brought suit on the drafts the Circuit court held that it had acquired the drafts by purchase and not by discount and therefore the rate of interest was not usurious under the Ma tional Banking act. The appellate court overrules this decision. It decides that under the law of congress there is no dis tinction between discount and purchase in the acquisition of notes and drafts, even when, as in this case, the paper is not in dorsed by the person from whom the bank gets it, and that if more than the legal rate of interest is taken the trans- action is usurious.
 One of the largest caves in the world is OF the island of Corsica, about two miles from the town of Ponte Leccia. Up to the present time it has never been thor ougbly explored. A few weeks ago local scientists determined, if possible, to gain some knowledge of the interior. A fear less miner from neighboring village, sup piled with instruments and food for a long journey, undertook the exploration. Pass ing through the entrance, hardly large enough for & mans body, he found him self in an immense rock-ribbed hall, with walls reaching in places to a height of sew enty-fvefee Various small lpassagewsysl led from the room to others similar in size and appearance. For two days and half the man continued on his journey through the system of caverns, when his progress was stopped by the presence of an immense lake. Finding no way to get beyond the water, he was obliged to return to the en- trance, having been five days in the sub terranean exploration. Shepherds in the neighborhood say that the caves exit is near Calvi on the coast. There at least is deep hole, known as the Roaring Cav ern." In stormy weather waves from the ocean dash down the hole and make 8 noise that can be heard far and wide.

Some idea of this years enormous corn crop in the United States can be had when it is remembered that enough has been raised to give over thirty bushels of this cereal to each man, woman and child in the country.
 A citizen of Salt Lake City sued the city last week for s5,OOO damages for injuries sustained in falling on a defective sidewalk in the city. The citizen was pretty drunk at the time he fell, and he admitted the fact to the court. The city set up a de- fence of contributory negligence. The plaintiffs lawyer laid down the very plain and plausible proposition that ia dr unken man is as much entitled to good sidewalk | as is a sober man and is much more in need | of it."
 Friday of this week will be "Arbor fDay" in Georgia, and a holiday for the children in all the public schools of the State. In the schools the teachers will read appropriate passages from the Scriptures, after which the children will sing 'tMy Country, 'Tis of Thee" During the day tens of thousands of trees will be planted by the youngsters in the public highways, the town lawns or parks, and the school and church grounds.
 California fruit growers are turning their attention to olive culture. The mo- ton that the trees do not bear for many years after planting has been proved to be without foundation by the success of Col onel J. L. Rowland of Pomona, who hai an orchard of 750, 900 trees, John s. Calk ins of Pomona, who has as many more and J. s. Harbison of San Diego, who say that ten per cent. of his trees that wer' planted in 1888 will yield from three tt five gallons of olives and the majority gallon and half. MT.

He grabbed the apple with 8 sort of exultant yelp, but before he could get far enough away the stork let out its neck few feet and with an awfully effec- tive sweeping movement knocked over the pup and once more secured the apple
 Then the program was commenced again.
