Hollow SDars.

The use of hollow spars for boats de- signed to attain great speed has intro duced a new and novel industry requir- ing workmanship of the finest charac- ter. The stick for this purpose is re- quired to be of exceptionally fine and straight grain, and after being roughly shaped Is split longitudinally from end to end; the center of each of the halves is then hollowed out, and a greater or less amount is removed, according to the intended location of the spar, the upper spars being much the lighter. These hollows run nearly the length of the spar, great care being essential to have them follow the taper of the out side of the spar exactly, to insure uni form thickness at every point-of course when this has been done and the two halves of the spar replaced in their original position, circular hole is left in the center of the spar, running near ly the whole length, and following it's taper from end to end. After this the two halves are fastened in place again by means of wooden dowels, which fas- ten the split together, being placed al- ternately on either side of the central hollow, and both dowels and split are carefully glued. These dowels vary in size with the size of the spar, but are usually as long as they can be made without piercing its outside surface. They are placed slightly nearer the cen ter hollow than the outside, in order to give them all the length possible. In small spars the glue and the dowels suffice, but in large ones metal bands on the outside are added. New York Sun.

 But old Curmudge had no brother in the accident, said the canvasser.

 But it might unnecessarily alarm him." persisted the.canvasser.

A New Ice Sleigh.


 One of the winter novelties thus far an- nounced is the sulky sleigh. It weighs 30 pounds, just about the weight of bicycle. It is made of steel and hickory. The braces are all of forged steel, tempered by hand; the arches are of the best western hickory, bent by hand. The spans or arches that support the driver are divided and lined with hand tempered steel the entire length from center of top to runners. The forging is so made that the steel is tapered grad ually from very thin piece to three-quar- ters of an inch in the center of the truss. This secures all possible lightness, at the same time making the sleigh able to bear the necessary weight The shafts are sim liar to those of an ordinary track sulky. The seat is the same and is so attached as to do away with large part of the horse motion, yet allow the runners to bear easily on the snow. The point of attachment is half way between the runner and the seat, and the draft is very similar to trotting sleigh.
 The riding qualities are about the same as in the ordinary track sulky, and the track motion is about the same. The horse is hooked back as close to the driver as in the new style pneumatic sulky, and the seat is as high from the ground, so that the driver eau see ahead.

BE COULD NOT WRITE.
But He Got His Order In Never
theless.

Some of the large business
houses In Honolulu receive some
very queer letters from their Gus
toners. Ways and means adopted
by persons who cannot write have,
since time immemorial, been a
source of wonder to other and
better educated people.
One firm recently received an
order that was a curiosity in its
way. 1t was from Portuguese
shoemaker on Hawaii who evil
IDENTIFY had gone 10 further in his
schooling than was necessary for a
knowledge of figures. He wanted
to replenish his stock, and, as he
could not write, he adopted the
following plan
He wanted, for instance, some
bristles. His way of ordering them
was to write % cents, and then
stick sample bristle through the
paper. In the same way brass
shoe nails, leather, thread, needles,
iron nails and shoe pegs, were all
pasted in some way to the letter
opposite the amount of money that
he desired to spend for each article.
The scheme has some good points,
however, as there was no chance of
receiving a different quality of
goods than those ordered.

TROUBLE IN K0NA.
The Deputy Sheriff and Judge Can
not Agree.

There has been a private war
brewing for many weeks between
Deputy-Sheriff Lazaro and Judge
Hall. Of South Kona. The Sheriff
draws his $50 a month while the
Judge is only good for s4O0 a year.
This financial difference the Judge
for come time past seems to have
been trying to make up in authori-
ty. He seems to have decided to
run the police department Of Kona
az a branch of his judgeship.
A good many things have hap
pened to feed the flames Of strife.
The Judge took to issuing warrants
and giving them out to policemen
without co much as recognizing the
Deputy-Sheriff's existence. Once
he took a case out of the Deputy
Sheriff7s hands and turned it over
to the conduct Of another lawyer.
Then he got out warrant for the
arrest of a man on q charge Of con-
spring, who lives in WaImea, sew
enty miles away, and he set the
case for the next morningl This
was too much for the Deputy-Sher-
If, who was not Puck, TO put CIR
die round Hawaii in forty minutes,
and the unhappy Lazaro began to
wish that he was safe In Abraham's
bosom.
The quarrelsome pair were final
ly ordered down to Honolulu, where
they have had hearing before the
Attorney General and Marshal.
The result is that Judge Hall has
resigned and someone else will fall
heir to his $400 a year.
1t appears that Haili has given
very poor satisfaction az Judge,
and his appointment was received
by the old residents of Kona with
loud grunts of disapproval. He
has no education whatever as a
lawyer, and nature has not sup
piled the deficiencies of his educa-
ton. He is not even a graduate OF
Lahainaluna, and is provided with
only the scantiest modicum OF In
formation.
The Marshall will leave for Kona
by the Hall this morning on bust
ness connected with this Haili-
Laxaro embroglio. The Govern
ment is very anxious to appoint
someone to the vacancy who will
give satisfaction to the residents OF
the South Kona district. The
will come back to Homo
lulu by the return trip of the Hall.

THEY DIDN'T COME.
Royalists Expected the Troops
Ashore Yesterday.

The royalists have been busy
manufacturing rumors during the
past few days. Yesterday, so the
native story ran, the troops from
the American men-of-war were to
come ashore and with Willis at
their head were to march up to the
Executive Building, where the
American Minister was to make
upon Dole a peremptory demand
for an apology.
Something interfered, however,
with the execution of this pro-
gramme and the question which is
bothering the royalists now is, what
was it? The most probable expla-
nation seems to be the inclemency
Of the weather. The Admiral was
afraid the gallant tars would "get
