OPINION OF THE COURT BY JUDD, C. J.
This is an action for damages for
breach of a contract made by the
parties on the 10th of April, 1890,
wherein Kidwell agreed to sell to
Camarinos for the term of thirty
months from the 1st July, 1890, all
the fine quality pinespples. viz,
Sugar Loaves, Queens and Smooth
Cayennes grown for sale by Kidwell,
the pinespples to weigh three pounds
and upwards and to be delivered at
the store OF Camarinos, in Honolulu,
in good condition-C amarinos wss
to pay 35 cents for every such pine
apple delivered in accordance with
the above conditions. At the first
trial in the Supreme Court at the
January term, 1892, the jury disa-
greed and were discharged. At the
April term. 1892, the case was re-
tired and the jury 1.-TWO dissentingl
found a verdict for the plaintiff
Camarinos, $51275 special damages
and $4,000 for probable profits
Two bills of exceptions have been
allowed defendant. The first is to
the ruling of the trial, Justice allow
ing an instruction to the Jury asked
for by the plaintiff. The second is
to the Justices refusing to grant a
new trial on the ground that the
verdict was contrary to law and the
evidence. There had been, previous
to the contract in question, dealings
between these parties respecting
pinespples of which Mr. Kidwell was
an extensive cultivator and Mr..
Camarinos having fruit store sell
ling pineapples in Honolulu and also
them for sale to San Fran
cisco.
Up to June, 1891, that is for a
period of about eleven months,
Kidwel delivered pineapples to
Camarinos in good condition as
to weight and ripeness which he
either sold here or shipped to
California The evidence for the
plaintiff is to the effect that most of
the pineapples delivered had been
either poisoned by the insertion of a
corrosive substance or acid which
destroyed the growing ability Of the
AtopD or crown" or tuft of leaves on
the summit of the pineapple, or that
a sharp instrument had been thrust
down into the middle Of the crown,
either Of which caused the fruit to
decay and spoil. Plaintiff claimed
that the shipments to California
showed loss from decay of the pine
apples which damaged him as found
by the jury in the sum Of S51275.
The defendant denied using any
substance or acid on the
fruit, but admitted that he inserted
a chisel In the crown Of the fruit
which removed its centre or growing
point, while still growing, which be
tended to increase the size
Of the fruit and did no damage to the
edible part. 1t was left 10 the jury TO
say whether the acts Of the defend
ant caused the fruit to decay and
damage the plaintiff. Plaintiff re
fused, June 9th, 1891, to receive any
more pineapples mutilsted as al
legged By the defendant, and no more
we're rendered thereafter by defend
ant. The plaintiff asked the follow
ing instruction, which was given:
'The Jury is instructed that under
The contract the defendant was OBJ
Iiged TO deliver the plaintiff pine
spple- which include the fruit with
he crown, and defendant had no
more right to mutiIate the crown
than the fruit itseIf-S

ham, handled all the newspapers at that
time, both daily and weekly. In those
days there were two wheels, such rs are
used today in some country offices, on
which the letters were placed and the citi
zens used to twirl them when they wanted
their mail"
The contrast between those days and the
present is quite marked. Boston is now
alleged to have one of the best Offices in the
United States, and the postmaster recently
remarked regarding the financial affairs of
the department: Massachusetts is one of
the few states that pays Our people are
great letter writer's"
Now the force Of carriers working is l69
at the central station and 345 at the sub
urban stations. What would the single old
penny post of the forties think if he could
come to life and see the small army of blue
coated carriers pouring out of the office
when the mail is distributed?
The cornerstone of the present building
was laid in 1871, and President Grant as
sisted at the ceremony. Four years later
the Office moved INTO it's present commodi
GUS quarters.

THOSE GOOD OLD TIMES.
In Boston the Mails Were Carried OF
WheelbnrrOws.

In Boston the Mails Were Carried on
Wheelbarrows.
Now that the new stamps have been
issued in honor of the Worlds fair and the
American postal delivery is on such asplen
did basis of perfection it Is interesting to
read once i'm awhile of how the mail was
delivered in the good old times After
many removals and vicisstudes the Boston
postoffice was established at the old state
house in 1888. OF those days Mr.. Charles
Brigham, for fifty-three years an employee
in the Boston office, recently said:
81 was appointed II substitute to take the
place of a sick clerk, with no intention of
remaining in the business. Nathaniel
Green was the postmaster thcp and the of
fee occupied one end of the old state
house There was clerical force of fifteen
men.
"There were three penny posts in those
days, and clerk was expected to work from
twelve to twenty hours day on the mtnif
icent salary of $500 per year Small mails
were often carried to and from the steamers
on wheel barrows, and the mail that came
from the steamers was not assorted or
tied up, but was just dumped in on us
in any way. When mail steamer came in
all the clerks were sent for, and there was
much extra work to be done have often
been on duty all day and all night and then
come to work the next morning just the
same without rest or sleep
when we were in the old statehouse
Leonard Holmes was cashier and T. VI.
Pomeroy chief clerk Neither of these
men is now in the service, and of most of
the old fifteen clerks nearly all are dead
and gone. In the box department was

subsequently proprietor of the Boston Her

Arms of a philadelphia Policeman.

The substitution for the night sticks of
the New York police of a pocket billy and
a whistle brings to mind the fact that the
Philadelphia police are regular walking
arsenals compared with the New York
patrolmen.. To be sure, all the protection
they carry is not provided by the city, but
there seems to be no objection to their pro-
viding themselves with all the weapons
they please, limited only by the size of
their purse. A belt and club are all the
city pays for. What the average police
man carries is a club, blackjack, a re-
volver, whistle and pair of nppers or
handouts. philadelphia Record.

Winter RatIons for Bees.

The amount of honey used will depend
in part ON the strength of the colony-that
is. on the number of bees composing it.
Some apiculturists claim that from Nov.
till Feb. bees will not consume more
than one pound of honey per month per
hive if the conditions are as they should
be If the temperature of the hive be
right the bees will be in a semidormant
state. rousing themselves once in every
four or five days to eat food. They com
plete their feast and then settle down
for another long sleep of four or five
days duration. In February the bees
awake partially and begin breeding,
though very weakly at first. In March
they begin TO breed in earnest, and being
more active much more food is required.

No. 10.-Four Triangles.

To form four triangles with six wooden
toothpicks sounds simple enough, but is a
proposition that can make the uninitiated
tired before he succeeds in reaching the
solution. You may place the picks in any
position you please, but the figures must
be good honest looking triangles; other
wise you fail to do the little feat. If you
chance to find the solution without aid you
will be surprised to see how pretty n figure
it makes and will very likely wonder why
you failed to do the trick more quickly
1t is done in this manner: Lay three picks
on the table in the form of a triangle. Then
put the remaining picks in the corners of
the first figure, elevate them and bring the
ends together This also demands steady
hand, but when you succeed in making
them stand alone all the triangles will be
visible.
