2 Some winter morning the highway
surveyor of district No. 4 wakes up to
find all familiar landmarks out of sight
beneath thick covering of snow which,
II is more than likely, has drifted In
huge heaps across the highway wher-
ever a fence, stone wall or clump of
bushes has prevented the winds unim-
peded march. The highway surveyor,
mindful of the important part he plays
In maintaining the social fabric, wades
out to the barn to feed his cattle
cattle" being New-E lglandism for
a pair of oxen-which he yokes up
after getting his own breakfast.
His method of breaking road Is
very simple. Under the front of an
old-fashioned wood sled, with long
runners, he chains stick of wood six
or eight inches in diameter, slips into
the sockets a sled stake or two, to
hold on by, mounts the sled and in
vites Buck and Bright to get up steam.
Now Buck and Bright deserve no small
credit in this matter, for beside gener-
ating the motive power for the sled
they serve also as snow plows, plung-
ing into drifts and breaking down the
snow to an extent that makes 1t COM
paratively easy for the sled to main
tain an even keel, so to speak, even
when the drifts are very irregular in
construction.

AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING WOMEN.
HOW BAD HABITS ARE FORMED.

The Ne.v York Tribune says 1.-THE habit Of
taking headache powders is increasing to
alarming extent among great number Of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders as
their name indicates. are claimed by the manu-
facturers to be positive aud speedy cure for any
form of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient is morphine, opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having tendency
to deaden pain The habit of taking them is
easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
off. Women usually begin taking them to re-
lieve a raging headache and soon resort to the
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
may be subjected to, and finally like the NOR
phine or opium hend, get into the habit of taking
them regularly. imagining that they are in pain
If they happen to miss their regular dose"
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
In the stomach and liver. Take simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. DR..

entirely of the purest, concentrated,
vegetable extracts. One Pellet is a

lively cure sick headache and remove

"Shipments of Mr.. Whitney's cot
ton were made to Liverpool, Boston

market always proved the most remu

New York between the years 1868 and

when the premium on gold was high

prices receeded rapidly to thirty OF
forty cents pound, corresponding to
the decline in the gold premium.
"The quality of the Hawaiian cot
ton was judged by experts to be super
iOr to any in the Southern States, in
fineness, length and strength. That

sewing thread in Massachusetts and

growers found it so easy to raise rat

and allowing the new growth to
spring up from the roots, and starting
new plants where the old were dead,
that many of them resorted to this
trick, which ultimately destroyed the
cotton business, as it became ex-
tremely difficult to keep the good
from the poor, and the price obtained
was based on the poorest samples
found in the shipment. It was this
deterioration in the quality that led
to the abandonment of the business,
az it entailed heavy loss on the last

will never pay to buy from small
growers who care very little about the
quality of their fibre.

The water supply question was
discussed at length, and the action
of the Board in discontinuing the

It was decided to raise the quar-

thing was reported quiet, with no
new cases. Island steamers will

Marriage Ceremony of George
FRirchud and Miss Curun1fus.
Drawing Room OF the Widemann Resi-
dence PrOfuseIy Decorated for the
occasion-Large Number of Friends
Present-COngrAtuIati Extended.

The marriage ceremony of Miss
Kamakee Cummins to George H.
Fairchild was performed at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Wide
mann at Z 80 o'clock last night by
the Rev. Alex. Macintosh. Misses
Gertie Widemann and Helen
Parker, as bridesmaids, were
escorted by David Kawananakoa
and Christian Conrad respectively.
The ceremony took place in the
drawing room, Immediately to the
right of the main entrance. The
bridal party stood before large
bay window facing the hall. From
the center of this depended
a design of two joined hearts,
made of white ginger. In
the background were potted plants,
palm leaves, strings of ferns and
graceful profusion of white ginger,
which dominated in the decoration
of the room.
Running from the top of the
chandelier at the center of the room
were wide streamese of white gauze,
upon which were pinned many
leaves of maidenhair fern. These
streamers were attached to the
ceiling at various points, making a
decidedly artistic effect.
Hanging from the entrance to the
room were long sprays of stephnotis
in full bloom. In front of large
mirror at the end of the room were
three palm leaves, the images of
which reflected in the glass, caused
favorable comment. Opposite the
drawing room was a receptacle in
which were placed the numerous
presents of cut glass, gold and silver
articles, hand-painted china and
other beautiful as well as useful
gifts.
Upon on arrival of the guests, the
Hawaiian Club, stationed in the
rear, started music for the lancers,
which was danced by the bridal
party, Judge Widemann and Mrs.
Fred Macfarlane making the fourth
couple. The dance was most grace
full and showed to great advantage
in such a bower of flowers and
green's as the drawing room con-
tanned.
After the dance the guests broke
up into small groups and INDUCED
in pleasant converse.
Over three hundred persons were
present during the evening.
Congratulations were showered
upon the newly-married couple,
hey accepting them with admir-
able grace and ease.
At about 9 80 music was again
struck up and the giddy whirl con-
inued. At midnight the guests
after extending to Mr..
md Mrs. Widemann hearty thanks
or hospitality.
