EXPECTATIONS NOT REALIZED.

The estimate then made was based upon the
assumption the the worst effects OF our finan.
cial Disturbances had already been realized
and there would be a substantial increase in
the revenues for The remainder OF the year.
While it was not believed that the dehcien-
cS then existing would be supplied by in
creased revenues in the future. it was hoped
that no additional deficiency would occur, but
the receipts and expenditures during the
month of December and up to the twelfth day
OF the present month show that the estimates
Of a defeiescy OF ses,O0J,OOD at the close OF the
year Sas much too low. The actual receipts
and expenditures during each month OF the
year and the monthly deficiencies have been
as follows: Receipts and expenditures, fiscal

70 RUN LONG DISTANCES.

by a French Method Some Can Run Seven
Miles First Time.
Psychologists and lovers of athletics
may be interested in recent expert
ments and researches of a French artil-
lery captain, NJ. de Raoul, who, some
fifteen years ago, began to try and find
out the most economical and least try
ing way of walking. There are many
manners of walking, some of which are
much devoid of grace (the average En-
glishwoman's is a very good example,,
but it may be supposed that, as far as
efficiency is concerned, one must be
better than the others. NJ. de Raoul
has come to the conclusion that. as far
as fast walking is concerned, the best
method is that which he calls marche
%enfexion. The principals is to run
without leaping, to raise the
body above ground as little as
possible, to keep the knees
bent, the upper part of the
body inclined forward, so that
practically you are always running al
ter your center of gravity. The fact
must be raised only very slightly. NJ.
de Raoul, who has now some years of
experience, says hat he can take any
man between twenty and sixty and
teach him to run as long as his legs can
carry him without getting out of
breath. Some men can, on the very
first trial of the method, run seven OF
miles without stopping, while
with the ordinary tactics, they could
not have run over one mile. The first
kilotneter Ia kilometer is five-eighths
a mile) is usually covered in seven
minutes and n quarter. the second in
six minutes, and the third in five min
utes and fOrty-five seconds. An inter
feature of NJ. de Raoul's re-
searches is that even after a long run,
according to his method, a stiff walk is
no trouble at all; the muscles which
work in both cases do not belong to the
set, and while one exercise is psr-
the muscles which minister to
the other rest.-Popular Science News

Near the little village of San Jose,
Peru, on the bleak and,barren shores OF
Lake Titicaca-the most elevated body
of water of any considerable size in the
world-are three large pillars of stone.
If they were not of unequal height they
would resemble gate-posts or piers upon
which, at some time in the far past,
great arches had been erected. To the
different tribes of Peruvians they are
known by words which signify stand
ing stones or tall stone gods" Upon
the north side of each of these huge
powders the rude features of a human
face have been deeply carved, the other
three sides of each being chiseled with
designs of various shapes, kinds and
sizes. These carved symbols are all
supposed to have some reference to
sun-worship, which the ancient Peru
VANS are known to have practiced.
Although the ancient inhabitants of
that country were highly civilized and
probably had many mechanical appli-
ances, it is believed that they were un-
equal to the task of placing these gil
gantic monoliths in their present posi-
ton. The evidence rather points to
their having originally been wandering
or erratic powders, deposited by some
melting glacier.-N. Y. Sun.

The Prairie Schooner Yet In Use.
The picturesque prairie schooner"
is yet an important means of transport
t~ation, despite the network of railroads
that has overspread the country in re-
cent years. During the past few weeks
some of the main roads and trials
through the central counties of Texas
have been dotted over with the big
canvas-covered wagons, strung out in
from three to a dozen in a fleet, with
horses trotting beside and behind, and
with all the interesting attendant
features familiar in the pioneer days.
The travellers are farmers bound to the
coast counties from northern Texas,
the emigration from which region is
attaining the dimensions of an exodus.
Years of drought, short crops, and
small prices are the cause, and so
anxious are the farmers to get away
that they have been almost giving
their property there away, many lcav-
ing their lands unsold and untenanted.
Twenty families passed through Sealy
recently, and eight through Belle
vile in n day not long ago,
bound for the coast counties. The lat
party comprised forty persons, and
were travelling in a feet of twelve
schooners.-N. Y. Sun.

CHRISTIANS ON THE REEF.
Prisoners Enjoy the Pleasures Of
the Season.

In the festivities and entertain
ments for Christmas the prisoners
at the jail were not overlooked.
Mr.. w. c. Weldon and Miss 81.
Mcintyre, assisted by several kind
friends, gave the prisoners a rare
treat in the way of a musical and
literary entertainment.
The event took place under the
beautiful kamani tree in the court
yard Of the Jail, where all the pris-
oners were present.
The programme consisted Of a
chorus sung by the company open
ing prayer by the leader; violin
solo by Mr.. William Love; cornet
solo by Mr.. Ramsay, of H. NJ. s.
Hyacinth Christmas carol by Mr..
w. G. Weldon recitation, The
Light Brigade" by Mr.. Burleigh
song, negro melody, by Mr.. Will
lam Templeton coruet solo, "Alo-
ma o." by Mr.. Ramsay, and violin
solo by Mr.. William Love. A few
remarks by Mr.. Weldon and a
chorus sung by the company closed
the list Miss Mcintyre played all
OF the accompaniment upon the
organ. Each number on the pro-
gramme was received with hearty
applause, and the beaming faces
gave proof of the enjoyment ex-
perienced.
Tailor Low very kindly allowed
the women to attend the entertain
ment. This is the first occasion of
the kird when the women have
been allowed to enjoy such an
event.
After the dispersion Mr.. Low
gave all a special bill of fare, to
which several business houses of
the city kindly contributed, Messrs.
G. p. Castle and w. G. Weldon
sending an ample supply of fruit.

The Effect of Japanese Saki in this
City.


TEis late and popular importation
from japan is flooding the saloons
Of Honolulu, and the virtuous
liquor sellers in California are alarm
ed for their trade in light wines, and
threaten our Reciprocity Treaty. As
If sugar and saki were contrsstible
commodities In commerce. Welt
let that pau, If agitation can make
rs arouse to the much graver danger
of the retaliation, welcome agitationl
Saki, a liquor distilled from rice, is
"a pleasant sweetish tasting drink,
and it is so Intoxicating that it takes
effect very quickly" The saloon
keepers of Honolulu are glad to buy
it, as it is very cheap at wholesale,
and they retail it Cat handsome
profit to themselves,) to the poor
Hawaiians at much lower cost than
other liquors. The Hawaiians think
IL fine to get drunk at so cheap cost.
Let any one who wants to see its
effects, walk or ride through Nuuanu
street on a Saturday evening be-
tween the hours of 9 and ~, and
watch the crowds that surge In and
out of the swinging doors of the bar
rooms, many of them Keeling back
and forth as they emerge. What
may follow in the homes, of fighting
and abuse, we cannot tell; but we
read in the papers of crimes commit
ted under the effects of saki. Now
what are we. as a thinking philan-
thropic people going to do about
this? Are we to sit with folded
hands, and try to let this matter
right itself? Are we to acknowledge
by our inactivity that we second the
action of the San Francisco liquor
agents? Let us take some concerted
thought and action; and learn more
about saki and its probable future
here.

IBY THE LOCAL EDIToRl
 ssIf there is one man more than anoIh- CT who deserves praise for his efforts to provide homes for the people it is War rtn H. IamsOn. He Is certainly building attractive dwellings and selling them on easy monthly payments, thus providing way for the man of fm0deratei income to occupy home at once and pay for it while enjoying the benefits of home of his own. Two houses We're sold last week by MT LamsOn and two contracts for new dwellings were signed. In addition to this he has five other houses in course of erection. Home seekers should con- suit the homo maker, Warren H. Lam. son. His work in the past speaks his praise as we'll as those who have purchas- ed homes of him.
