OF INTEREST TO MANAGERS
OF PLANTATIONS.

A Model Plant is not complete without
Electric Power, thus dispensing with
small engines.
Why not generate your power from one
CENTRAL Station? One generator can
furnish power to your Pumps, Centri-
fugals, Elevators, Flows, Railways and
Hosts; also furnish light and power fol
radius of from IS to 20 miles.
Electric Power being used saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with high-priced
engineers, and only have one engine to
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available it costs
nothing to generate Electric Power.
The HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY
is now ready to furnish Electric Plants
and Generators of all descriptions at short
notice, and also has on hand a large
stock of Wire, Chandeliers and all Elec-
trical Goods.
All orders will be given prompt atten-

and Power Plants; also attention is given
to House and Marine Wiring.

It's Practice Essential TO the Success Of
the student In Art.
Originality and skill IN inyenting or
telling a story and in expressing the
passions depend, like everything else IN
art, ON a painters powers of observa-
ton, and the difference between the
greater or less painter results very much
from this-that the first thinks of his art
everywhere and at all times. the last IN
his painting room only and at set hours.
Hogarth, describing his own habits,
saws "Be where would while my eyes

studies and acquiring something useful

books were filed with groups of figures
and scenery made without selection, but

which the windows of an inn presented
while horses were changing and some
times what he saw from the top OF a
stagecoach.
Students should be assured that the
practice of redeeming spare moments OF
time by sketching whatever is thrown
in their way is an invaluable one. Those
who adopt it will be sure TO be reward
ed by often finding memoranda so made
of far greater interest than they had
imagined, and it will correct the habit,
always fatal to originality, of going TO
nature for things only that resemble

drawings by Raphael collecsed 10y Sir
Thomas Lawrence were many evidently
Of what chance presented to him. One
in particular was singularly elegant, OF
three or four young men in the dress OF
his time sitting at a table, and their at
titudes but very slightly varied---an ac-
cidental group in all probability OF his
pupils.
In the works of Michael Angelo we
meet with very many attitudes that bear
the stamp Of being adopted almost I'M
mediately from nature and indeed most
of the noble range of his prophets and
sibyls have this look A subject happily
adopted from nature should not deprive
the painter of the credit due TO inven-
ton, for indeed the mere faculty of in
venting an incident is far more common
than the nice and quick perception OF
that in nature which is fitted TO the pur-
poses of art, and which ordinary OBJ
servers would pass by or reject perhaps
as trifling or unworthy. Burns turned

The widely pistsnded skirt.

Our prayers have been answered. The
heavy, widely distended skirts will very
soon be a thing of the past. They are
an abomination and ought never to have
been allowed to become fashionable.
Why, it would take four hands to ma
nipulate the folds in such way as to
keep the skirt out of the dust, and when
a woman tries TO accomplish the task

fit to be worn in the street ever became
a fashion is a mystery to every one, ex-
cept, perhaps, these who manufacture
the haircloth. But physicians have de-
nounced the heavy Innings as injurious
to health, and this, with the good sense
of long suffering and heroic women,
who have patiently tried to endure the
burden for fashions sake, has brought
about decided reaction against them,
and the heavy skirt must SO. -Philadel-

THEY WON THE RAISE.
The Directors Were Satisfied That Theii
Claim Was just.


Once when the miners Of big anthra.
cite mining company were DESTROYS Of
receiving increased pay an effort was
made to induce the local officials in the
mining country TO make such repre-
sensations to the president Of the COM
pany as would produce the desired eff
feet. This was unavailing, however, and
efforts in other directions were tried,
until the directors offered 60 meet a
delegation of the miners in New York
CITY and discuss the situation. A dozen
Of the brawniest miners in the region
were selected as dele gates-great rugged
men, who would certainly make a ia
vorable impression. The men met the
officials and stated their case, which
was that at the prevailing rate of wages
they could hardlJ get enough TO eat.
The matter was held under advise

display of appetites that has ever been
seen before or since, and the colored
walters turned pale as they saw dish

by one man, who speedily made away

ravenous as though he had not eaten for

about no more fancy things. Bring US

A cheese was procured, and the directors
gazed with awe as it speedily disap-

sultation, and after awhile the president
announced: Gentlemen, we have decid-
