Edmond Bire's DIARY of Citizen
During the Terror" has been translated
into English by John de Villiers. The
author says he delved so deeply into the
history of the period of terror that he
almost fancied himself contemporary.
He decided the only way to rid himself
of the fancy was to commit the story he
conjured up to paper. which he did.

"What are you going to be. dear Jack,
When you're quite grown up?" said.
Will you be lawyer. like papa.
Or soldier, like Uncle Ned?"
He shook his curly head and smiled:
Then answered: II think 1t is queer
Papa wants to be a lawyer.
When he might be a pioneer"
"A pioneer dear ladder" cried;
"Why. how brave and bold you must b.
But II you roam. you must come back
home
Your poor little mother to see.''
"Oh. I'll not go far away" he cried:
II can do 1t as well at home
don't think when I'm pioneer
That shall care to roam.
"1 should think that a pioneer" he said.

That pioneer would have to do

POPULAR SCIENCE.

A new industry which is receiving
encouragement in Germany is that Of
distilling q strong aromatic oil from
the green leaves Of the celery plant.
A hundred pounds of leaves make one
pound of oil. The oil is used for flavor
ing purposes.
A case of complete and immediate re-
lief from the effects of ivy poisoning is
reported in the Medical World by DR..
W. L. Shsnks. His patient was swollen
from head to foot, and in an hour after
bathing In a solution of sodium hypo-
sulph.ee was attending to business as
if nothing had happened.
Important improvements in Roertgen
photography are announced from Ber-
lin. The most interesting is simple
method Of photographing the stomach
and intestines. It is only necessary for
the patient to drink some harmless so
luton of mineral salt, such os lime
water, which is as impenetrable as bone
to X rays, and excellent results are OBJ
tained.
Experiments have shown that fatigue
causes chemical change in the blood,
resulting in the production of poison
resembling the curare poison, which
certain savage tribes use for arrows.
Arrow poison, however, is of vegeta BILE
origin. When the blood of tired ami
NAL is injected into the arteries Of q
fresh one, the latter exhibits all the
SYMPTOMS of fatigue.

(9) Time and method of assess
ments.

Old General provisions.
2. A running index Of subjects runs
throughout the law facilitating refer
ence thereto.
8. The principal change in the law
is the change in dates of assessment
and all succeeding operations.
The date of assessment has been
changed from July 1st 10 January LIST
on all property except growing rice,
which is assessed as Of April l.
Corresponding changes have been
made in all the other dates with res
pect to taxation. The time for max
ing up assessments has heretofore
been found to be too short to do accur-
ate work and the time has therefore
been extended to July 1st.
Appeals may be taken at any time
between the 1st and Goth OF July. The
Appeal Courts will sit between the 1st
and goth Of August.
Taxes will become due on the lst of
September and become delinquent on
the 18th day of November instead of
the 18th day OF December as under the
existing law.
II will be Doticed that although the
assessment of taxes has been put back
for six months the date for collection
of the same has been refrigerated only
one month, so that there will be a
requirement to pay taxes only one
ri
der the old law.
4. Carriage taxes heretofore pay
able into the general treasury are
CONT ined with the cart and dray tax
as part of the road tax, there being
no reason why a difference should be
made between the two.
5. The tax on female dogs is raised
to So as a deterrent to increase of
worthless dogs which on several of
the islands are so serious menace to
the sheep industry as TO almost cause
quired to wear their tags all the year
instead of for six months only.
6. The exemption from personal
taxes heretofore accorded to firemen
and soldiers is limited to volunteer
soldiers. There does not seem to be
any good reason why persons employ
ed in the military and fire depart
ments of the Government and receiv-
ing fair salaries therefor should be eX-
empt from personal taxes, while
other employees of the Government
receiving salaries on practically the
same scale should be subjected
thereto.
Minister Damon also gave notice of
a bill relating to licenses.
The Appropriation bill was to come
up under the regular order of the day,
hut owing to small attendance the

Rep. Bond thought it would be q
good thing to do away with "honOr-
able'' before the names of the Presi
dent and Ministers, and introduced a
resolution to that effect. The Speaker
declared the resolution out of order on
account of its not having been written
in ink, as provided for in the rules of

ment of the mornings session the
introducer had not succeeded in get
ting it copied in ink.

Rep. Hanuna spoke of people who
do washing for private houses, and do
it in town. He was not sure that this
law applied to such people. Rep. Ha-
nuna thought that Rep. Robertson
might shed some light on the subject.
Rep. Rycroft thought the bill was
explicit. 1t related to people wash
ing for pay.
Rep. Pali's motion was put and the
ayes and noes taken.
Rep. Richards wanted to know Mr..
Bonds vote on the matter. He had
not made himself plain.
Rep. Bond said he did not want TO

Rep. Bond said he hadn't voted yet
After much discussion on the point,

al of the Cook" excursionists,
General Warfeld, Mr.. Wight, DIR.
and Mrs. Mum, Mr.. Gallagher,
DR.. Grossman, Mr.. Peck and a host
of others, some sixty in all being
aboard.
We had lovely weather, the sea
had scarce a ruff1e, yet some sue
cumbed to the action of the steam
er and were sick.
In the morning we landed some
Holstein bulls. They were sorry
looking animals, struggling in the
water, looking more like drowned
rats than cattle.
We all went ashore at Hamakua,
visited the store, post office, custom
house, etc., asked innumerable
questions. Saw the train pull out
loaded with a mixed cargo of
freight.
Leaving this place we see some
cane fields and enjoy a number of
picturesque sights as we steam
along the coast.
We arrived at Hilo about 10 p.
M. are bileted around town, taxing
the accommodations of Hilo to the

Before leaving Hilo for Olaa we
take in the town. 1t is a beautiful
situation for a town, some day in
the future it will rival Honolulu.
At s am. we are starting for
Olaa, at least | am, the rest are
going to the volcano. DR.. and Mrs.

over. | have visited several of the
plantations in this district, among
them the one owned by Drs. Mich
OILS and Whitney. They have some
80 acres in coffee and some of the
finest trees in the district. After
spending three days here, we say
"a hundred days of Honolulu for
one night in Olaa."
Mr.. Miller, the manager has al
ready detected several kinds of
blight here. He will instruct the
superintendent on each planta
ton in pruning and the care of
coffee trees, at the same time, be on
the look out for blight. Taking
immediate steps wherever he finds
any to eradicate it. The planters
show admirable forethought in hav-
ing a man of Mr. MiIler's expert
ence at this early stage. They will
thereby keep the district free of all
pests.
DIR. Nichols will let contract
for 20 more acres, DR.. Grossman
one for so acres and Mr.. Peck one
for $50. Besides a great many
others who are putting in new
land. In a future article l will
write more Of the success, culture,
ETC., of coffee in this district, giving
the cost of starting and maintain
ing plantation.
A gentleman with money to in
vest in Government coffee lands
was in this district yesterday. He
told me that he could not get any
land at present as the Government |
could not afford to put an appraiser
on to value the land. This seems
lamentable, to see desirable parties
go away that might take up land |
and improve it. III.

GRAPHIC ACCOUNT.
col. MCLEAN DESCRIBES THE BAT
TIE OF WATERLOO.
How the Great Napoleon Was Final-
ly overcome - His Brilliant
Career.

Col. McLean's lecture at the Y.
M. G. A Saturday night was most
concise exposition of the battle plan
of Waterloo, The hall was COM
fortably filled. A large per cent. Of
the audience was composed of mil
itary men. Charts of the secondary
and principal battlefelds were used
to illustrate the lecture. The lee
ture lasted one hour and twenty
minutes.
Mr.. Ripley introduced the speak
er. The former said he was at the
battle of Waterloo-in San Fran
cisco. Entering upon the subject,
Col. Mclean said he would review
the maneuvers and battle from Ma
poleon's side as interest centered
there. He had visited four of Ma
poleon's battle fields-Morengo in
Italy, the Pyramids, Austerlitz and
Waterloo. Aus.crlitz was the
greatest triumph Of this wonderful
man; Waterloo was the greatest
conflict of the age.
Napoleon himself was the great
est military man the world had ever
produced. Hannibal, Caesar and
Alexander were great men, but
their accomplishments were not
equal to those of Napoleon. Stories
of the former were incredible to mill
itary men. The effect of Napole-
on's presence at the head Of the
army was that of the arrival of
40, 900 fresh men. His escape from
Elbe, success in gathering about
him on landing in France 1900 of
his old followers, march from the
South up to Paris and capture of
that city, all'without bloodshed, was
most remarkable accomplishment.
Wellington was considered a
great man. But he was slow He
hesilated. Napoleon was quick.
He was decisive.
Europe was thunderstruck when
it became known that Napoleon
was again in France. The powers
