The Hoiomua Fabricafes News

The following elaborate fiction
is translated from the Holomua of
February 14th. 1t is Of course a
pure invention from beginning to
end. 1t is written in high flown
style, and if it be regarded as a
joke, may well be published as
singular specimen Of the kind of
wit served up by the native editors
of that paper to their readers:
BEWARE OF THE LION.
At dusk of Sunday, the British
cruiser Garnet arrived Mt Mamals,
(HonOlulu harbOrl, as we announced
ON last Saturday, and reports are as
follows: The Alameda transported the
news of the revolution and the per
fOrmance of the American warship to
Australia: it was then soon cabled
through the bottom of the Pacific
ocean TO Japan; it went through from
there and reached the shores Of China;
it was wired Qightning-like), to the
bay of India; then the news touched
the western cape Of France, and with
in the wink of an eye, it held an au-
dience with Queen Victoria. She
turned about to her Premier and said:
" By my authority, now without de-
lay, let the British fleet in the Pacific
go with haste to my sister, Queen LIZ
liuokalani.n Within the wink OF an
eye the message reached Mexico,
Capt. H. f. H. Hallett, Of
the royal warship Garnet to act with
manly courage and proceed immedi-
ately to Hawaii, and that he should
be reinforced with five armOred war
ships, also with land soldiers as we'll
as sailors, showing that England does
not play in the matter.

Rice Patches Destroyed and
Other Damage Done.

The residents of Kilauea, Kauai,
report heavy freshets at that place
during the early part of this month.
During one of the rainy days, the
dam of the big reservoir at Kaloko,
about four miles above the planta-
ton, and used for storing water for
irrigating the cane fields, gave
away, and an enormous stream Of
water flowed down the valley,
emptying at Kahili stream. A
native leading two horses laden
with paiai was crossing the bridge
at the Kilauea stream at the time,
and man and horses were washed
away. The man reached the other
side safely, and the horses next
landed, but the paiais were lost.
The man, however, was thankful
that his life had been spared. The
bridge was said to be slightly dam
aged. Luckily there were no
houses On the way Of the stream.
Rice patches at Kahili Valley, be-
longing to q Chinaman, were de-
stroyed, and perhaps he was the

hameha made him minister of finance, and
he remained such till Lunalilo became king
in 1878 and made him president of the board
of education. King kalakaua promoted
him to the privy council, and in 1876 he
was made minister of the interior. Nine
years later he had charge of the Hawaiian
exhibit at the New Orleans fair, and in 1901
he was again made minister of finance.
When he arrived in Washington and was
presented to the president, March is, 1892,

an argument for annexation, as he dwelt
particularly on the close relations Of Hawaii

ut is easy enough to find a street in New
York, but when it comes to a number a
Jersey lawyer would be puzzled. Look
along this street, for instance. You will
not find many houses with anumber on the
vestibule door and a light back of it, but
you will find some with numbers on the in.

at the other places l doubt whether there
was a number. OF course it's all right
when you get a start to count the house,
but the trouble is in getting that start. In

He was born in what was then n very out
of the way district in southern Indiana,
March II, 1882, and was able only by strict
economy to attend the state university for
one year, y@ he was spoken of as a man of
considerable learning when a candidate for
the legislature. The local standard was
not high, and as he had been to college,
the fact that he never graduated was not
thought of. BE served with credit in the
legislature, entered the army as lieutenant
colonel of the Thirty-eighth Indiana, won
the rank of brigadier general in the field
and was breveted major general while dis
abled by wounds. His subsequent career as
Judge, postmaster general, secretary of the
treasury and judge again is familiar to the
public.

office in Chicago last year illustrates his

got some ugly blows. The lunatic had a

the indications were that he would have
used it on Judge Gresham but for the lat

An Old woman's Courage.

Mrs. c. c. Merrill, q New Woodstock
lady of eighty years, was one day w~eedingin

pair of runaway horses coming toward her.
She recognized the team as belonging to
her son, for clinging to the seat of the
wagon was her little golden haired grand.
daughter. The old lady was not afraid of
horses. She picked up a long pole and
calmly walked down the road to meet the
frightened animals. She slowly waved the
pole back aud forth from one side Of the
road to the other. On came the horses at
full speed. First they glanced knowingly
on one side, then on the other for a chance
to dash past the moving pole. Then they
stopped-the old lady had conquered

The Old Astronomy.


One of the Hesiodic poems, 1.-THE Works
and Days." composed, perhaps, a century
and a half later than the Homeric, gives pre-
cept upon precept to farmer and mariner,
and teaches them how to observe the sea-
ions, at a period when almanacs were as vet
unknown:
when the Pleiades, daughters of Atlas,
rise, begin your harvest; when they set,
your blowing. When after the winter sol
stice Zeus has fulfilled sixty days of win
ter (then it is that Arcturus, having left
the sacred stream of Ocean. rises in the
twilight brightly beaming), prune your
vines. When Sirius parches head and
knees, and the body is dried up by reason
of heat, then sit in the shade and drink.
When Orion and Sirius have reached mid
heaven, and rosy fingered dawn beholds
Arcturus, then gather and carry home
your grape clusters. When, flying the i'm.
petuous might of Orion, the Pleiades sink
into the misty deep, then rage blasts OF

THE MAN WITHOUT A SOVEREIGN.
The Hawaiian Minister at Washington I,
In q Delicate Position.

The Hawaiian Minister at Washington Is
In q Delicate Position.
The position of the Hawaiian minister at
Washington, DR.. Mott Smith, is one of pc
culiardelicacy. Hewas appointed by Queen
Liliuokalani and arrived in Washington
not quite a year ago, but now finds himself
without a queen. In such cases the usual
rule is for the diplomat to maintain his
rank till the government he is accredited to
recognizes the new government at home.
Then his position is only an informal one
till he is commissioned anew or another
man takes his place.
DR.. Mott Smith is Il native of New York
city, but has been in Hawaii since 1851, and
for Is years past has been almost contin-
uously in Office. In 1865 he was sent to
Washington to assist i'll negotiating a reci-

Live Stock Points.

E. P. Smith in The American Guilt
yator writes that once when barley was
selling at fifty cents a bushel he fed his
crop of that grain to the pigs and made
it pay one dollar a bushel. He recon-
mends keeping winter pigs, among other
reasons because they eat up the crops of
grain when they are damaged or are too
cheap in price to sell profitably.
February is the time to set hens for
early chickens, if you are so situated that
they will be warm enough. Early chick
ems pay the best in the market. Those
Matched later, in May and June, are the
best for stock poultry.
If you have left over straw that you
cannot market proftably, and more
than you need for bedding other ami
mails, bed the winter pigs with it. It
will pay you first class returns in the
fertilizing line when you haul it out
upon your fields next spring.
If you are going into the winter dairy
ing business next fall, breed your cows
now. They will come in in October.
Is it better to market wethers at a year
old as lamb mutton, or to keep them q
year or two longer? It depends largely
on the fleece. If you can make the 2
or 3-year-old wether shear ten to twelve
pounds of a good quality of wool, then
it will pay to keep him. Two or three
heavy feeces of wool would much more
than pay for his extra keep.
The prices for first class pure bred
Aberdeen-Angus beeves have reached in
Chicago over seven dollars a hundred
pounds this winter.
An egg farmer has figured up that the
eggs he sells cost him, all told, eight
