Success in Plant Growing.

There is wonderful amount of truth in the following statement: iNSome persons have a knack of making all kinds of plants grow in the most unfavorable circumstances. I think this is partly owing to magnetic at traction existing between such persons and their plants. The plants seem to know they are loved, that they are household treasures, that every new leaf and flower is as welcome as the new words and expanding thoughts of a baby to it's mother. Apparently un- conscious of this, they do their utmost, and in places least adapted for success full house culture of plants, we often find stands or individuals equal to the best greenhouse specimens"

.uother Dance to be Given-Ar-
rangements in Order.

| Owing to the coming regatta
In May, the Leilani Boat Club
has decided to give another Of its
popular dances, the proceeds to

today is the sun, and the seeds turned
into stars. The white, watery substance
in the pulp and on the rim of the umeke
turned into clouds, and the watery sub
stance from the gourd itself was thrown
into the clouds and became rain.
Then Wakea cut the body of the
umeke into two parts; one part was the
land and the other the ocean.
Mr.. Poepoe could not recommend this
account as showing the old Hawaiian
superstition as to the creation, but 1t
may be drawn from this that the earth
was believed by them to be a round
body, flattened on two sides-meaning
the two poles of the earth, as repre-
sented by the two dattened or depressed
sides of an "umeke."
Not only that, but they believe also
that there were two hemispheres at the
beginning of the creation, one of land
and one of ocean, which corresponds
with the account given in Genesis, l.,
9-1O The lecturer quoted S. M Kama
kau, celebrated local historian, who
assisted A. Fernandez in his Polyne-
sian researches, as giving the opinion
that there are many old accounts TO
prove that the heavens and earth were
created by three gods known as Kane,
Ku and Lono.
Ku was also called Ku ka Pao, the
architect, he being the second person
and seemed to be the creator. Lono
was honored sitting or living upon the
waters, it being the third person. This
is believed to refer to the spirit Of God,
moving upon the face of the waters,
and it is supported by many old Ha
waiian traditions.
The lecturer evidently took this sub
division to show the faith or belief of
the ancient Hawaiians. Arriving at the
second subdivision of the subject as to
the origin of the Hawaiian islands, ac-
cording to ancient meles, one distinct
lively points to a time when these ISL
ands were one land, spreading from
north to south, and at the time of Ka
hiAo, who is also known as Kahikolu-
amea, that this large tract of land has
been divided into islands.
An old tradition started here, that
this "Kakiko'' by command of God he
had his wife and children packed"
upon large floating log called Koni-
konihia, and they were carried upon
the bosom of the seas, and after a while
they were landed upon Mauna Kea.
In one mele, certain lands known to
the old Hawaiians were connected with
each other by an isthmus. These were
Wawau, Upolu, PukaliaIka Pukalia
Nui, Alala, Pelua, Palana and ~HoIani
on one side, and Ulu-Nui, Hiialo and
Hakalaua on the other.
The lecturer quoted Professors Dana
and Agassiz's theories relating to the
several attols in the Pacific ocean, to
support the old Hawaiian tradition that
the Hawaiian Islands are remnants of
an old continent.
The lecture gave evidence Of careful
research on the part of Mr.. POepoe,
and is one which would be of interest
to a great number of white persons if
delivered in English.

WASHING DISHES.
A Few Hints which VIII Prove Useful 70
Housewives.

Housewives.
The most incompetent "slavey," as
the English term the half-taught girl
that is compelled to pick up jobs in gen.
eral housework, rather than take an ex-
pert maids place, is supposed to be able
TO wash dishes. This supposition has
caused much destruction of fine china.
No one can do any work worth doing
properly without thought, care and
some system. Dishwashing requires a
good-sized sink, two disbpans, one of
proper size to set in the sink and one to
put on the table near by, an abundance
of heavy linen towels, some glass
towels, dish mops and dishcloths. The
dishcloth should be of strong linen.
Stair crash is excellent for this purpose
1t soon becomes soft enough to be fleX-
ible, and wears better than anything
else. Make these cloths about ten or
twelve inches long, of narrow crash, and
hem them so they will not fray when
they are put through the laundry. If
dishes are gathered up in order AMI
properly seraped it saves half the
trouble of washing. Greasy or fishy
dishes ought to be scraped and wiped
off with pieces of paper, which should
be burned up at once. 1t takes only
little time to wipe away grease, but
saves the presence of this same grease
in the dishwater, where it clings to the
pan and is likely to get on breadplates
and other dishes that are compare lively
,eL ol, ne oh lnth he
and towels if the dishes that have con-
tanned it are not thoroughly wiped
with paper before being washed. Knives
should always be treated this way be-
fore they are washed and secured. 1t
is easier to burn paper soiled with
grease and fish or other unpleasant
kitchen odors than it is to wash the
cloths used to wipe them. AS long as
the dishes are washed afterward, clean
paper, even newspaper, will do to wipe
them off. Put the dishes in no. suds.
use the dish mop freely and transfer
them to the other pan to be rinsed. Let
this second pan be very large, ana have
a wooden drainer fitted in two inches
from the bottom, so that the boiling wa
ter poured over the dishes will drain off
them. This is the best and safest way
of draining them. Wash pots, spiders
and kettles with an iron dishcloth, with
n scraper also attached to the handle.
Wash them outside and inside. first
rubbing off any pot black on the bot
tom with piece of newspaper, which
must be burned. When dishes are
washed in this way dishcloths and dish
towels will not become foul and re-
quire such continued washingw with soda
and scalding water as they usually do.

A TRUTHFUL CUBAN ACCOUNT.
Yellow Fever the Great Ally of the In
surgents -Anecdote of MaCeo.

Yellow Fever the Great Ally of the In
surgents of MaCeo.
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Feb. l0.-Dr.
L. A. Hines, for q short time sur
se0n In the Cuban army, has just
returned home and gives an in.
sight to the real condition OF af-
fairs. He joined Maceo's army
early in January and was captured
while In charge Of the field hos
pital in San Felipe. He says the
only way the insurgents can hope
to win is by prolonging the strug-
gle until Spain becomes exhausted
and sells the island or gives it
away.
The Spanish army is composed
almost exclusively Of boys unused
to hardships. They are ragged,
overworked, and suffering from
the terrible tropic heat and yellow
fever. The prevailing notion that
Cuban armies are full OF Ameri-
cans is a mistake. DR.. Hines did
not hear of another American
while he was with the insurgents,
as the climate is such that no
American could campaign with
the insurgents and live.
The Spanish hospital at Havana
has now nearly 100 yellow fever
victims and the season Is only be-
gun. None will get we'll. Shortly
after a man gets the fever, he be-
gins to curl up like withered
leaf and as soon as his head and
feet touch he dies.
The negro leader Maceo is des-
cribed as a man Of wonderful will
power and his army is composed Of
negroes who idoliZe him. He was
in Spain when the war broke out
and chartered a little vessel to take
him to Cuba.
The Spanish government offered
$40, 900 for the delivery of Maceo
into the hands of one of the men
of-war off the coast of Venezuela.
The captain of Maceo's vessel ac-
cepted, but the astute and fierce
negro caught on, and when of the
coast of Cuba he killed the captain
and mate and ran the vessel ashore
himself.

SCENES IN WONDERLAND.
Miners Pay Day - Celebrations = City
News, Etc.


MONTEREY, N. l., Feb. 10, 1895.
To the Daily LIGHT:
On the first of each month Senior
joaquin Maiz, the owner Of the
San Pedro mine, which is situated
in the adjacent mountains, pays
of his miners, and the nearest Sat
urday to the first OF each month,
the owners OF the San Pablo and
ZaragoZa mines pay of their
miners. As February first came
on Saturday, all the miners from
the three mines mum bering about
1000 were in the city on that day,
and they presented picturesque
appearance dressed in their mining
suits. The average pay OF the
miners is IS cents per day; there
fore, the pay role amounts to sew
eral thousand dollars each month,
and nearly all of that is paid out
for supplies; thus it will be seen
that the retail merchants of Mon
terey get the benefit OF it.
Governor Berr ario Reyes had a
large force Of men to decorate the
Zaragoza plaza and the city hall
with the national coIors of bunt-
ing, banners, colored lights and
wreaths of evergreens, for the pur-
pose of celebrating the 9th of
February in honor OF the adoption
of the constitution Of 1857.
At a. m. on the morning OF the
5th, all the military bands played
the national airs in front OF their
headquarters while all the church
bells were rung for thirty minutes.
In the afternoon and night the 9th
infantry and 18th cavalry bands
played on the Zaragoza plaza. All
the foreign consuls, as we'll as the
state and federal officers had their
flags flying during the day.
About three months ago Frank
A. Giddings, of GAINESVILLE, Texas,
came here for the benefit OF his
health, and to be with his sisters,
Misses Mamie and Emily, who are
stopping at Topo Chico, but as he
was in the last stages Of consump-
ton when he come here, the doc
tors that he consulted, told him
that he had waited two long be-
fore coming here. Tuesday night
he died, aged 81 years, and yester-
day he was buried. The funeral
services were conducted by the
Rev. Father E. A. Antonio, OF the
Holy Trinity church.
Last Thursday Messrs. j. T. and
E. G. Brown, Of Chicago, ILL.,, en-
tertained Mr.. j. NJ. Schneider and
wife, of this city with dinner at

Brown came here for their
health, and will leave in few
