Deprived of Their Homes.

VANCOUVER (B. c., Sept. 1.-The
"shackites have been evicted from
their little cabin on the fOreshore on
Burrard inlet. There were 80 shacks
along the front Of false creek and Bur-
rard inlet, and the Government at OF
tawa instructed the Sheriff OF Vancou-
yer to tear them all down. They were
occupied by men with families, who
had built them on Government prop
erty and were Of course enabled to live
very cheaply, having to pay no rent.
They were warned to leave months
ago but fatty refused.
The sheriff, with a large body of
deputies, then proceeded to turn them
out and chop up their homes with
hatchets. Old men in failing health
were bundled into the road with their
scant belongings, and in one or two
instances women about to be confined
were carried out On beds and left in the
middle of the road.
The Government recently granted
the foreshore Of the Burrard inlet to
the Canadian Pacific Railroad, and the
'shackites" believe that the Canadian
Pacific Railroad is responsible for their
losing their homes.

ANNEXATION.

The people of the United States,
on the annexation question, may be
divided into the following classes:
4 considerably large number of
men in Congress, but not, at pres
ent s majority; the Army and
Navy Departments of the Govern
uent, and some very influential
newspapers, believe in the immedi-
ste annexation of the Islands.
Another class is made up of men,
in and out Of Congress, and of
newspaper men, who have not
reached any conclusion On the SUBJ
iect, but are willing to listen to
reason. These men and papers
are not wild" about it, and are
rather conservative in their ways
Of dealing with any subject.
Another class, and by far the
largest, is made up ofpesple who are
indifferent about it, as it does not
personally concern them. They
take no more interest in it than the
people Of Hawaii take in the vital
matter Of removing snags from the
Mississippi River.
This large class takes no interest
in foreign affairs, unless some
serimmage is On hand. It likes to
hear about Captain Robert Evans,
Of the Baltimore" punching the
heads Of the Chileans, while, at
the same time. it takes 10 interest
in the merits Of the Chilean revolu-
ton.
Another class Of very able men
oppose annexation, on the ground
that the people Of the States are
now in q bad way, because there
has been indescriminate immigra-
ton, and it Is dangerous to tackle
new problems. Besides, the expert
ence Of the people, during the last
few years, with negro suffrage, has
alarmed them, and they viii bitter
~ contest any movement toward
the annexation OF countries having
2 mixed and ignorant population.
There l., also, another class, and
in it are some Of the best friends of
the revolutionary movement. that

true. At sny rate, the fact that the
only paper in Hawaii, now edited
BY s pure native, wss loyal to the

curious commentary on the situa-
ton, and Will interest the friends Of

result will be marvelously
beneficial to the sugar plant
erS. Last year in Hamakua
there was but six inches of
rain in six months; this yearit
starts in a little better. The
ground has been dampened
and the prospects n few days
ago were favorable. If there
is one section of the country
that needs rain Hamakua is
the one. There are some fine
plantations in the district and
in the days when the condit-
ions were favorable and the
rainfall all that could be de-
sired they paid their owners
handsomely. Nowadays the
rain comes from the North
east, salutes the landsman
and then goes on to Hilo.
Forests are known to at
tract the rain clouds and
Hamakua was once blessed
with an abundance of trees.
A few years ago the people
began cutting down the limb
er and before they were stop
ped there was scarcely enough
left to supply lumber for a
cabin. The suffering through
this falls not alone upon the
plantation: the residents in
the villages must go with a
short supply for toilet pur-
poses and their clothing has
to be sent to Honolulu to be
laundried. We remember
that less than a year ago the
fortunate owner of a we'll was
dispensing the water at five
cents a gallon.
Honokaa is a nice little
place and the residents are
progressive enough to be
up with the times; they want
water but they have not yet
hit upon a plan for getting it.
We have canvassed the situa-
ton quite thoroughly and
know that the water from the
spring at the gulch near the
landing can be forced to the
village by simply using a SER
les of AermOtors. These would
not only pump as great a sup
ply as steam engine but it
would do it at a very little
cost either for the plant in the
beginning or in maintaining il
afterward. The Aermotor con
sumes no fuel, just a little free
air and the water flows like
water. The 16 foot Aermotor,
either pumping or geared is in
use in several public and pri-
vate institutions, as we'll as ON
plantations and it has always
given satisfaction. The only
power used by the Water
Works Co., of Waimea, Kauai,
is a 16 foot Aermotor. The
promoters of the scheme
have no trouble in collecting
their water rates because they
give the consumers an abund-
ance of water. There are
plenty of villages on the ISL
ands that could be supplied in
the same way and as long as
the well or stream lasted there
would be no danger of RUM
ing short. We don't get the
statements we make regard
ing the wonderful possibilities
of the Aermotor from our i'm
agination; we have demonstra-
ted in many different places
that the galvanized Steel
Aermotor will do all that is
advertised for it and more
than can be done by any
wooden mill of larger diamet-
er. The Steel Aermotor has
other advantages over wood
en- mills; being lighter it will
run in less wind; being con-
structed of galvanized steel it
will not rot away and cause

P1cNlcs.-Almost any boy or girl
can tell you what picnic Is like, but
I wonder how many know why it is
50 called, or that the custom is said to
date only from 1902, not hundred
years ago,
Then, as now, when such an enter
tainment was being arranged for. it
was customary that those who intend
ed to be present should supply the
eatables and drinkables. Originally
the plan was to draw up list of what
was necessary, which is an excellent
one to follow, for often, when there
has been no previous agreement, it is
discovered, when too late, that there is
too much of of one kind Of food and
not enough another.
The list was passed around, and
each person picked out the article of
food or drink he or she was willing to
furnish, and the name of the article
was then nicked offthe list. So it was
from these two words, picked and
nicked that this form of out-of-door en-
tertainment first became known as a
"pick-and-nick, and then as a picnic.

parties of to-day.

Sit and Set, "

How many persons are troubled and
nervous as to the right use of these
little verbs. Perhaps the following
examples of their use may be helpful.
A man, or woman either, can set q
hen, although they cannot sit her
neither can they set on her, although
the hen might sit on them by the hour
if theywould allow it.
A man cannot set on the washbench,
but he could set the basin on it, and
neither the basin nor the grammarians
would object.
He could sit on the dogs tail if the
dog were willing. or he might set his
foot on it. But ifhe should set on the
aforesaid tail, or sit his foot there, the
grammarians, as well as the dog,
would howl, metaphorically at least.
And yet the man might set the tail
aside and then sit down, and be assail-
ed neither by the dog nor by the gram
marians,

The Editors Manual.

Mr.. Charles A. Dana, the veteran ed
itor of the New York Sun, had occa-
sion recently to make an address to
students anent his own favorite occu-
pation-journalism. OF course it was
necessary, In speaking of literary style,
to refer to the books which the journa-
listic aspirant should cultivate. The
following is an excerpt from Mr..
Dana's advice on this subject:
"As to what books you should read
the most indispensable, useful and ef-
fective is the Bible. I am consider
ing it not as a religious book, but as a
manual of utility. No book is sug-
gestive, none which recounts the
greatest events with solemnity, none
from which you can learn more direct
ly that sublime simplicity which never
eXaggerates, none which you open
with such confidence and lay down
with such reverence-no book like the
Bible.n
This is tribute from all unexpected
source, although the suggestion is not
new. Almost every master Of style
would make the same recommends
tion. It's entirely safe to say that If
the Bible were adopted as the journa-
listic manual, We should have such q
decided improvement in the conductof
daily newspapers as would make them
a blessing instead of the bane, they 80
often are.-Northwestern Advocate.

Limitations.

A great English preacher illustrates
the littleness, the fragmentariness, and
the imperfectness OF human knowl-
edge of Gods works by the case of a
fly crawling upon one of the pillars of
ST. Paul's Cathedral. What does the
fly know of the architects magnificent
design in that great building? 1t sees
only the little space OF stone on which
it moves; and the carving and the Or
namental work appear to it like hills
and mountains cutting off its progress
and obscuring its view. So is the wisest
man in the midst of the vast universe
of God. He can see only for little
space about him. He can perceive but
a little glimmer of the divine meaning
in the things he sees. He can have
but the dimmest, faintest conception Of
the wonderful plan Of God which takes
iu all worlds, all human lives. and all
ages. We cannot expect to know all
Gods thoughts we would have to be
punal to him in wisdom to do this. We
cannot expect 10 know God g design in
the providences that touch human af-
fairs and effect our own lives. We
cannot trace the result of his acts
through the centuries to come to know
what the final outcome will be. We
cannot tell what beautiful trees, with
full, rich fruitage, will grow from the
rough, dark seeds which to-day tie
Master plants in our life-garden. We
cannot tell what blessing will come in
the long future from the sorrow that
now lays its heavy hand upon us.-Ep-
worth Herald.

What he Gained.

Fairs given to raise money for chari-
table objects have long been recognis-
ed as among the quickest means
known for emptying pocket-books and
loading unwary purchasers with all
sorts of things for which they have
no use; and the prices demanded for
the articles are said to be usually quite
out of proportion to their value. A
recent German paper gives an account
of a man who strayed into "Charity
Bazaar" and had trying expert
enCe.
He had made several quite unsatis-
factory purchases, not knowing how
to refuse the demands of the pretty
saleswomen, and at last, to prove that
he could make one sensible invest
ment, he bought a small matchbox
end carried it off in triumph and
haste.
Examining it after he had left the
booth, he discovered that there was no
place on which to light the matches.
$50, with the air of one determined
not to be cheated, he marched back
to the young lady of whom he bought
the box.
"There is mistake here" he said
You sold me this pocket MATCHBOX,
and thore is no place on it to scratch
the matches"
my dear SIR" said the young lady,
you are quite right made q mistake:
That is intended for jewel box, and
costs fifty cents more, if you please"

Farm and Garden Notes.

Corn is a standard food for hogs
though wheat is also excellent when
soaked or ground and mashed. Boil
ed potatoes and barley meal are con-
sidered to make the finest-tiavored
bacon.
The few fowls that every farmer
keeps, and on which he spends but
little, pay best of all his farm live
stock.
Beef blood is said to be an excellent
food for poultry, as it is rich in nitro
gen, approaching the white of the
egg in composition.
A good crop of hay may be made
more profitable than an equally good
crop of grain nine times out of ten If
it is judiciously fed to stock upon
the farm.
An acre of good ensilage corn should
produce fifteen tons. This would feed
five COWS, forty pounds each, for l5O
DAYS. From this you can calculate
how many acres you should plant.
Try the acre and the five cows as least,
and another year you will put IN
more.
The handiest and most effective way
to apply paris green to potatoes is i'll
the form of dry mixture with flour
It sticks better than any other sub
stance very small quantity is suffi'
cient, and with small sitter it may be
applied rapidly and with little waste.
It does not involve such hard work
and is really cheaper 70. that reason.
Carrying water costs more than the
flour.
The royal institute for fruit and vine
culture at Geisenheim, Germany has
experimental successfully in the use
of copperas as stimulant for plants
that lack green color in their leaves.
The copperas should be dissolved in
water and applied near the roots IN
early spring.
Carrots and cabbages are two item
that should have a larger place in
our list of feeding stuffs. The first
are excellent for colts, horses. milch
cows, and all young stock. The Sec
ond are valuable for pretty nearly

Here is farmers way to get rid OF
