For two years Mr.. Meyer and his
sons raised sugar cane and manufac-
tured sugar, but the low price of the
product for the last few years has
made it more than Improbable to en-
gage in sugar manufacture in q small
way. Now the lands are given up to
grazing. Twenty head are sent from
the Molokal ranch to the leper settle
ment every week. Cattle and sheep,
butter and eggs are sent to Honolulu,
and lead the market as being always
of the very best grade.
Where now the cattle pen is, was
once q grove, as attested by the large
stumps of Kawau trees. The natives
of Molokai have tradition that one
hundred years ago, a long continual
drought, for those successive years, de-
stroyed nearly all vegetation. For
several years recently there has been
dry seasons; but now it is hoped that
the cycle of cosmical changes has
brought around again time Of bene-
ficent operation of great natural forces.
The perishiDg of the forest is as prob
ably due to the operation Of these
forces as to the introduction of cattle
or deer. These last now roam over
the whole mountain range, caring
nothing for ordinary fences, and with
leaps of twenty feet at bound soon
putting themselves out of range of
dog or horse, or gun. Seven of these
portly creatures sent to Kamehameha
", in 1869, as present from some
English banker on the island of Maur-
titus, have multiplied to these I'M
counted herds. Four English pleas
ants introduced at the same time,
have not multiplied so fast. L saw
one herd Of seven deer bounding
along wooded ridge, and started five
pheassnts from grassy dell near Ka-
halelani. The familiar notes OF the
quail are heard in the algaroba
thicket that skirts the coast of Kauna-
kakai for miles and miles.

1t makes us smile to read that the
new ocean liner st. Louis, built by the
Cramps, has given the crack Cunarder
Campania a brush on the high seas,
and made a creditable showing. The
Campania and her sister, the Lucania,
are supposed to be the very finest
ships that float. The Campania's horse
power is 10000 more than that of the
st. Louis, and altogether it was to be
expected that she could easily beat the
latter. 1t seems not. The valiant
Americans who man the st. Louis
swear by all the oaths that are briny
that the next time they catch the Cam
pania in the middle Of the ocean they
are going to beat her out of her boots.
Considering the relative power of the
two ships, it would seem that the boast
full Britisher is already beaten. In
any event the American merchant ma
rine has no reason to feel ashamed.
Those of us who rejoice in the develop
ment of a creditable navy will be COM
forted to reflect that the st. Louis is
subsidized as an auxiliary cruiser, and
may be used by the government to
chase the commerce of the enemy off
the earth, should occasion present it.

Then he went to a picnic and ate ice

his physician told him to settle up his

as he might live two years and he

them Of the good news impaired to
him by the doctor, and adding that he
did not believe a word the doctor had
