SOns. There are several rocks in the
passage to the wharf which need remov-
ing, and the committee recommend the
appropriation asked for
9. Resolution No. s6- Asking for an
appropriation OF $1,000 for repa rs 10 the
landing at Kawaihae.
We are informed by the Wiltier's Steam
ship Company ina. they claim the iand-
ing at Kawaihae to be private property,
hat they hold lease on the SAINT, and
nave heretofore made all repairs on such
wharf.
The company further say
"If the Government wishes 10 make a
better landing It would be Yery accept.
able, but it is about The same that it has
been for several wears
The committee are not prepared 10
admit that the public is not entitled to
rights in the landing at Kawaihae, but
as no special necessity ,is shown and no
injury 10 the public interests appears TO
be imminent If the appropriation is not
made the CONT ittee recommends that
the resolution be laid on the table.
10. Petition No. 163, 81 900 for wharf
at Kauiki; $500 for landing at Keanae.
Nothing has been asked for by the
Minister of the Interior.
The two landings in question come
under the same category as Pelekunu.
The number Of people using the landings
is very small, and the country back Of
them but small.
The committee do not think that the
expenditures requested should be made
until greater necessity exists for the
landings.
The committee therefore recommend
that this petition be laid on the table.
II. Resolution 124. $500 for repairs
wharf at Kailua.
This is a comparatively new wharf,
and we cannot ascertain that repairs to
the amount requested are necessary.
We therefore recommend that an in
crease be made in the general appropria-
ton for landings on Hawaii, from 5000
asked for in the bill, to 81 600 from which
repairs on this and other wharyes can be
made.
We therefore recommend that this
Resolution be laid on the table.
u. Petition No. Ill, for 81 500 for
landing at Kula, Puma.
This landing has been worked by
the government heretofore, and the diff
Guilty now remaining is rock in the
entrance to the harbor. The committee
recommend that 81 900 be appropriated
for remedying this difficulty.

The member stated that detailed

to all landings where their steamers
stopped, and as to others precise in
formation had been obtained from
persons acquainted with the locali-

every one of the millions of stamps which
have carried letters and circulars to their
destinations all over the country has re-
ceived dainty lick from her tongue.
Miss Crawford talked entertaiuingly of
herself and her work yesterday. "Do |
like the work ?" she repeated in reply to
question Indeed do In fact l wouldn't
do anything else l suppose it seems very
funny that / should prefer to use my tongue
instead of a sponge, but | can get along so
much better. l can only do 1000 an hour
with a sponge, aud l can easily do 5000
without it. No; it doesn't seem to affect
my health in the least.
''Pll tell you a funny thing about it. If
business becomes slack and | don't have
any stamps to stick lose my appetite and
can scarcely eat anything. But as soon as
l get down to work again my appetite re-
turns and | become ravenOusly hungry.
There seems to be something in the gum
that acts as tonic.
When questioned about her work Miss
Crawford said that she could stick 5000
stamps an hour and could seal 1900 en-
velOpes (alsO with her tongue) in day.
She can also fold 1900 circulars and address

PHILANTHROPY ON CREDIT.
\ Trick That Judge Andrews Played on
Horace Leland.

a Trick That Judge Andrews Played on
Horace Leland.
The late Horace LELAND, who for many
wears kept the Leland Hotel at Springfield,
H., was a generous man and a lover Of chill
dren. One day be and John a. c. Andre VS.,
then Speaker Of the Illinois House Of Rep
rpsentatives, were walking out together
when they met a man with a cluster of toy
balloons. School was just out, and hun
dreds OF boys and girls came pouring from a
building near al hand.
Hold on, Ace" said Mr.. Leland there s
a JOYOUS sight" and the two stopped and
watched the children all gazing with long
ing eyes at the balloons.
OFF cent apiece"
How much for the lot ?" asked the phil
anthropist.
The man counted them. There were TWEEN
"One dolP for the lot"
Mr.. Leland took them all and distributed
them among the children with as much fair
ness as possible. Then he put his hand into
his pocket and said, 81 declare Ace
haven't a cent wiki me. Lend me a dollar. "
ION, no" said Judge Andrews seriously,
you can't play pHllanthr0pist at my eX-
pense."
Well, my man." said Mr.. Leland, 81
guess you'll have TO call at my hotel for your
money"
my money, OF you give me back my bal
looms"
But don't you see 1 can do neither ?
Come to the Leland House aud ask for Mr..
Leland, and l will pay you"
NO, sill" persisted the man. you pay
me my money or give me back my bal
looms I've seen that hotel trick before"
"Come, Ace" said Mr.. Leland. from the
depths Of his troubled soul, give me a
dollar"
Not a cent" said the Judge. with as
sumed gravity, Il wouldn't trust you with
a dime"
see" said the man. your own friend
no will trust you. You give me my money
or / will call the policeman"
Just then there happened along an old
beggar woman who had lived upon the
bounty Of the good people of Springfield for
many a year. She stopped and heard
enough Of the conversation to know what
it WIS about.
Hold ON, Mister Leland" said She 'Ii
your fine friend there won't lend you a

she lectuTed Judge Andrews for bel Nc the
''stingiest old thing out OF jail" she unrolled

Judge Andrews says that he never again
tried to play that kind OF a joke on Horace

A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION.
Something That Is Better Than Workin
ON Shirts and PantaInnns

Something That Is Better Than Working
on Shirts and PantaIOons.
One Of the most practical suggestions for
service is that of the woman who comes in
to work by the day" There is very much
more in this idea Of daily service, or of en-
plOying woman who, in common parlanCe,
docs days work" than has ever been fully
developed. Washing and sCrubbing are, at
present, the principal duties of such work.
ers. But these, although they represent the
hardest labor, cover only a small part of the
daily Homework.
The sweeping and busting. the sewing. the
cooking, the dish washing, the clearing
up'-most inteTminablo IF taskS-the mend
ing and the chamberwOrk-all these come
into the home life and into the line OF q
hOusekeeper's duties. An these have to be
overlooked. Somebody has to see that they
are well done, often to do them. And the
time and the patience and the strength
which 60 into these little things nobody
but the woman who does them knows.
Darning stockings, with the attendant
horrors of mending and sewing on of but
tons, represents a batch of work which
comes regularly every week to be done, and
is sore trial TO the woman who longs for
the time it takes that she make give it to
better things. Yet she knows these tasks
are necessary, and that they must be &C
cOmplished for the comfort and we'll being
of the family in her charge.
Now there must surely be plenty of wn-
men who cannot do finished or high-class
work, yet to whom mendng and stocking
darning, clearing up of rooms and busting,
would he light and agreeable work, women
who. having ample time, would be willing
to do such important yet trivial huusework
for the small sum Of money the service is
worth. They need not be highly educated
or very young women; they need only be
willing, quick and ready to do well any and
every trife which comes up for somebody
to do. There are certainly plenty of places
waiting for just such workers.
We hear much of the women who are
starving in making shirts at cents apiece
and trousers at cents a pair. The tales
are too well authenticated to be doubted
But surely the work 5bOye suggested would
be easier, pleaSanter and more profitable to
the women who are keeping soul and body
together on such 4 pIttance as that.-Har-

Grounding day formerly marked the ter
minatiOn of the Christmas holidays, which
then began as early as October 3lst, the
night before All-Sants' DAY or HalloW eve.
But as the world progressed and mankind
found many new objects TO occupy their
time and attention, the eXigencleS OF LIE
lmperativelY demanded the cuTtalment OF
the Christmas season 10 It's present bTieI
limits. Prior to that curtailment CandlemaS,
as the last day Of the Christmas season,
was celebrated with a universal Joyous
feStiVIy second only to that OF Christmas
day itself. But Of all the associations con-
neCted with that much slandeTed American
citizen the grounding and his day, there Is
none which should be more familiar TO all
his lelIOW-cOuntTymen than an anecdOte OF
the great Daniel Webster, which, though
known to every schOOl-b0y of fifty years
ago, may be new to the present generation
of newspaper readers.
A grounding, or more properly speaking,
a woOdchuck, was caught on the Webster
farm, and Daniel, then a lad. besOught his
father to spare its life, while his brother
Zeke clamored loudly for It's death Their
father at length said that he would act as
judge and give the animal fair and impair
tlal trial, while his boys as counsel for the
prosecution and defense, should make argu-
ments for and against the prisoner. after
which he would decide his fate. Zeke then
made a powerful plea against the ground
hog as a rObber battening on their sub
stance. His father looked at him with
pride when he had ended, and the ground
hogs fate was evidently sealed when Daniel
arose and, by one of those wonderful
speeches that afterward made him famous,
50 worked upon his fathers feelings that
when he had finished the old man cried out,
with tears streaming down his cheeks: :

and out to buy farms, houses, furniture,
sewing machines, etc, or to make payment
on the same, and for money to pay rent.
The reason given for asking is that l am
supposed to have money, and the petitioners
do not have as much as they want Some
letters offer mortgages on their property in
amounts Of from $1,000 to $1,000, but make
no scruple Of asking TO borrow from two to
five times more than the property is worth.
Asking for money to educate some stranger

Crawford is nevertheless a stamp ticker,
and, what is more. is the worlds champion
in her chosen vacation. Miss Crawford,
who has just passed her eighteenth birth

years ago she entered the employ of the

the lightning rapidity with which she ad-
dressed, sealed and stamped envelopes.
The first time she tried stamping en-
velopes she did 1900 an hour. She can now
do 5000 an hour, and has kept this up
steadily for DAYS Strange to say, she has
persistently declined to use sponge, and
