CHASTITY compact, Gerald could regard
the prospect Of doing so with entire
calmness. Indeed, rs IN act that would
supposedly involve nerve and pluck, its
possible undertaking rather amused him
than otherwise. Still, he would perhaps
have discountenanced the entire project
as both frivolous and sensational but for
thought that now came to him, born of
his loyal friendship. What if hc should
humor this whim Of Louis, in tho hope
that by SO doing the persistent mood Of
melancholy might be dissipated: ,
It was q matter Of modification to him,
several hours later, when he reflected
upon what he had done. The terms Of
the compact into which he had now en-
tered with Louis pledged him to abso-
lutte secrecy, otherwise he might have
informed his mother of the strangely
acquiescent part that he had played. To
obtain q duplicate key of the family
vault was a more difficult task for him
than for Louis, since in one case the
master Of Shadyshore needed but to en-
ploy q locksnith, and in the other it was
necessary for Gerald to hunt through
closets and odd corners, andalways with
a sense of ultimate failure. But sud.
denly one morning he found tho object
of his search, and to make the desired
exchange with Louis was thenceforth
easy enough.
There were now but a few days left
Gerald before his return to college, and
during that time he failed to notice
much change in his. friend. Perhaps,
however, the attention which he paid
Louis was in 4 manner molested and
thwartcd by semi-farewell meetings and
talks with Brenda. Gerald found him
self perpetually quarreling with tho girl
he had now grown to adore. It some
times seemed to him that Brenda. in the
imperious arrogance Of her maidenly
beauty. would like him to got down on
mis- knees and kiss her slender little foot.
He told her something of the sort one
day, and she answered him, with IN in
solent culver Of her long golden eye
lashes, that on the contrary she would
be afraid to forbid his even doing any
thing ~ silly, for fear that obstinacy
might make hlm stupidity disobey.

" BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES IN
HAWAII"

In the second article of the En-
cheering Magazine Mr.. Alanui
Hao" first sketches the general
political and economic conditions
obtaining in these islands, showing
their inevitable dependency on the
United States, how the bulk of I'M
ports into Hawaii come from thence,
and the whole of her exports go
thither, but the real object Of the
writer is obviously to discuss the
future Of railways throughout the
Kingdom.
Having referred briefly to the
Oahu Railway as it was two years
ago, the writer passes on to the
scheme proposed by the late Hon.
S. G. Wilder for the development
of the windward side of Hawai-,
which was, and is, in his opinion
the best plan yet set forth.
Certainly Mr.. WiIder's idea of
railway seventy miles long Gin the
first instance) connecting the chain
Of plantations with theport Of Hilo
is the most rational conception of
opening up the country. Not sugar
plantations only but the facilities
offered by the railway would soon
tend to bring into cultivation coun-
try now without any market be-
cause without convenient access to
any port or other distributing CEN
ter. Fresh fruits, coffee, ramie and
half dozen other paying products
might be raised all along the line
if it were once constructed.
We fully endorse the opinion of
Mr.. Wilder as given in this article
of the magazine. Samuel G.Wilder
left behind him widespread rev.
erence for his generous heart and
stalwart courage, such as no other
man has left in that cosmopolitan
community. By white and black,
by Protestant and Catholic, by
young and old, he was loved and
mourned." The late Hon. w. L.
Green, who was Premier when
Wilder died, said in the Legislature
he "believed the railway which was
the favorlte object of Wilder's last
years, would get to be built, though
it were mile by mile from one plan
tation to another, and after an elo-
quent tribute to the statesman's
memory, expressed his feeling that
the railway, however built, should
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1891-07-14
be called by no other name than

be called by no other name than
his"
The writer states that in 1887 he
was engaged by Mr.. Wilder to
make a report upon the existing
railway constructed by that gentle
man, and to make new survey
with a view to extending the line
from the port of HiIo to the valley
of the Waipio, and he found that,
owing to the numerous gulches to
be bridged or circumnavigated,"
the line would be forty per cent.
longer than the air line; neverthe-
less, there was no difficulty that
might not certainly be overcome,
though, of course, at a larger ex-
pense of time and money than
would be required in an easier
country.
With short reference to the Ma
hukona-Niulii line and the need of
cable communication with the coast
this article, useful and instructive
to strangers, is concluded.
As an illustration of our authors
style, we quote the following lines
aptly portraying the Hawaiian
orator
"The Hawaiian is not coolie-he is
q gentleman. He can work as a laborer
when he wants to, and do more than
two Cinnamon; but he does not always
want to. He makes good artisan and
an excellent sailor, but his supreme am
bition is to attain to one of the loquacious
professions, for he is born orator. He
can make nicely rounded sentence out
of the word beans If he mounts the
pulpit or stands before the Judge as
counsel, his flow of language is pro-
digious; but when he takes the floor of
the Legislative Assembly he is the burst
ing forth of pent-up Niagara. He will
continue until the vacated hall rings
back his language, whilst the rest of the
legislators smoke their cigars outside
until the House is counted out"
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1891-07-14

known and universally useful OF
all native woods is of course the
koa of which there are several
varieties, that Familiarity known as
Hcurly koa" being the prettiest for
ornamental cabinet work, though
other varieties are rarer, closer In
grain and darker in color, and
these were used for the paddles OF
the canoes of high chiefs, as well
as for spears and digging imple-
ments.
In speaking of koa, of course,
one must needs refer next to kou,
always a favorite wood with the
chiefs, and now a combination OF
these two remarkably handsome
woods is the favorite material for
the cabinet maker.
The ke'a or kalamona and the
uhiuhi are both hard, dark, and
ebony.like woods, the latter was
formerly used for spears, war clubs,
agricultural implements, tapa beat
ers, etc.
The illahi or sandal wood formed
the first article of export from these
islands, and the high prices given
in China for their precious incense
bearing wood led very soon to its
almost complete extirpation. The
naio or bastard sandalwood gives a
fragrance not unlike sandal wood,
but too pungent.
The timber of the ulu or bread
fruit is too soft for general use and
moreover it was protected by rea-
son of the food value of the tree,
but the sap being of very gummy
consistency was used by the old
bird catchers for lining the 90
for the famous yellow feather
cloaks.
Without specifying any other of
the ninety-seven indigenous woods
of which specimens were brought
together by Mr.. Thrum, it would
be we'll for all Hawaiians to re-
member that there are yet great
number of very beautiful woods in
this country, that there formerly
were many others, some of which
have been wantonly or of mere
greed utterly exterminated. Wheth-
er the next generation shall have
a richer or a poorer exhibit of val
liable wood depends largely On the
present rising generation.
Planting should bear some rela-
ton to cutting, and cattle fences to
numbers of cattle.

WE HAVE before called attention
to the increasing demand for ban
anas in the United States, and the
very rapid increase in the quantity
imported during the past two
years, chiefly from the Central
American States. There is no fruit
or food staple grown which pro-
duces so largely as bananas. In
good localities, and with good care,
it is said to yield forty times as
much as potatoes, and one hundred
and thirty times as much as wheat
or barley.
In the West Indies, attention is
being turned to curing or drying
the bananas, and In this condition
shipping the fruit to market. Ban
ana lunches average fifty or sixty
pounds-weight of the fruit alone,
In drying, it loses one-third of its
weight, and when dried sells in
New York and other American
cities at Is to 20 cents q pound,
which makes a bunch when dried
realize S2.75 to $3.50. Recently,
one hundred boxes sold for the
Canada market at 20 cents pound.
and orders have been given for
large supplies. In curing bananas,
care should be taken to have the
fruit as near the same size as pos
sible, for convenience in packing,
and to secure uniformity in color.
Some years ago parties residing in
Kona, Hawaii, engaged in this
business, and turned out very fine
dried bananas which were eagerly
sought for, but for some cause the
business was abandoned, and we
have not seen Hawaiian preserved
bananas of late years, though there
will be a demand for all that can
be dried.

INDIGENOUS HAWAIIAN WOODS.

We are giving on our first page
q complete reprint of valuable
article on the subject named above,
contributed to the Pacific Coast
Wood and Iron by its own CORE
spondent who visited these islands
in January and February last.
Basing his description of Ha-
waiian woods On the collection of
specimens then recently exhibited
in Honolulu by Mr.. T. G. Thrum,
the writer Of the article under con-
sideratiOn has taken great pains to
give the botanical names, the hab-
itat, the pecularities Of the various
trees from which the collection
was made, as well as the special
purposes to which each different
wood was put by the ancient Ha-
waiians, and also those for which
they are fitted IN the more modern
civilization, including not only the
needs Of the builder and cabinet
maker, but the railway constructor
in need of durable ties and sleep
ers, and the wharf builder who
wants planklng that will stand
hard usage from iron-shod horses
and dray wheels. For these latter
purposes where durability is the
great object, no island wood equals
ohia, of which we are told there
are four varieties, called in native
apane, kauokahiki, kumakua and
ahihi, though no doubt the same
wood had different name on each
of the islands of the group.
The various purposes to which
the different woods were assigned
before the discovery, or re-dis-
covery, of the islands by Cook, Is
both curious and interesting, thus
the diana" maba sandevicensis was
held in high esteem by the old
priests and chiefs and was the only
timber allowed in the deliberately
wrought wooden fence surround
ing a temple or house of Lono,
while the ohias furnished the wood
preferred for certain idols.

Another word about lamps
and we are through with them
for the present.
1t is not essential that you
have a piano in order to derive
a certain amount of pleasure
from the possession OF a piano
lamp. 1t is the best and most
comfortable reading lamp we
know of because it can be adj
Ijusted to any height and you
don't have to bend over when
you want to read. It's a good
thing for that tired feeling"
We have what you want and
the price,-well it's not worth
mentioning.
Some weeks ago we told
you something about Filters,
not much, just enough to In
terest you. Now we tell you
more. Everyone knows that
filtered water is healthier and
sweeter than the unfltered and
that a natural means of filter
ing is infinitely better than the
half-dozen chemical contriv-
ances offered you. The filter
we have-the Gate City-is
made of natural stone quar-
ried somewhere in Georgia
and is the healthiest and most
perfect filter on the market,
besides being the cleanest.
Compared with the results
they are also the cheapest.
Ever since the dry weather
began and the water has been
muddy we have kept one at
our door filled with ice and
water for the benefit of the
public, sort of good Samara-
tin act so to speak, but it paid
us because people saw how
good it was and came in and
bought them. We have them
in sizes from two or three
quarts up to several gallons
The size governs the price.
Have you read the circular
on Candlesticks which you see
hanging in the tram cars late
ly? No! Well you should,
for they're interesting. We
only received the Candlesticks'
the other day, and as we have
only a few of them you must
come soon if you want one.
The part that holds the can
die is adjustable to any size
candle, directly under this is
a movable metal cup to catch
the grease. Once the candle
is placed in position it need
not be moved because it is al
ways at the right height and
burns until there is nothing
left. The grease is easily
moved from the cup and your
candlestick is always bright
and clean. We haven't many
of them better not be late if
you want a good thing.
Sometime ago we were
shown a little filter to fit a wa
ter-tap,-a good machine for
the kitchen or bath room
where you don't use the other
filter. You don't want to cook
with muddy water do you?
Neither do you want to get in
to a tub of water and come
out a delicate ecru tint. We've
had to do it but we won't any
more, because this little filter
we speak of is just the thing
to remedy the difficulty. They
are a much needed article here
and we are the only people
who have them. Make a note

COULDN'T MOVE HER.
swackhammer did his Best. but

TChicago Tribune

Alpneus Swackhammer gnawed his light
chestnut sorrel mustache nervously and
looked with fixed gaze at the naughty
dark browed beauty who sat with her
hands arranged in a careless, negligee
fashion on her lap in such a way as to ex-
hibit all the jewels on each separate and
distinct finger. Her wealth of wavy hair,
with the exception of an oblong wad of be-
wildering friz in front, was combed back
from classic forehead whose flowing out
lines were merged into the pure oval OF
cheek and chin with scrupulous fidelity to
the highest and most fashionable ideal, and
whose finely sculptured profile had the
severely Greek accuracy of the seyenty-six
cent Goddess of Liberty ON the American
silver dollar.
"Begonia Swab," he exclaimed with sup
pressed excitement, care you sure you will

on with increasing bitterness:

in her wrath and confronted him.
