"An unpleasant business he unused,
as he dispatched it with promptness,
and sat waiting for the reply, which,
reused by such frank brutality, was
quite sufficient to conceal any hurt it

Mr.. Jones-I have just received your

He walked home to dinner almost
gaily. He would live happy in the
memory of his happiness with Eliza

Trouble For His Honesty.

IA queer thing happened to me-"
said Bailey, lighting fresh cigar. "It
was only one of those incidents ofstreet

but annoying from the misconstructiOn

ductor came along and / handed il to
him just as my vis-a-vis said:
"What has become of my 10 eents?"
"There she sat staring at her hand,
which was no longer occupied by the

one of the boys.

Don't Waste Coal.

The whole system of loco motion is
threatened with imminent revolution.
The two horses, one of flesh and one of
iron, one eating oats AMI the other
coal, find their vocations gling away
together. Science threatens TO burn
their carcasses on the same pyre.
Electricity offers itself Is locomotive
force for the nations. The steam To-
comotive, vaunted emblem and token
of the greatest of centuries, finds itself
at the close about to be relegated to the
great ash heap of curiosities before
which civilization stands laughing.
But the thing is not yet certain. We
cannot make haste to dig grave for
the locomotive. 1t may he that the
twentieth century will still demand
that heavy, clumsy, but very efficient
brute whose Office it has been for two
generations to carry man and his pro-
ducts 10 the ends of the earth. The
substitution of electricity for steam as
a motive force on the great railways
of the United States, which now seems
so imminent, will be, lift comes, the
most marvellous single change that has
ever occurred among tie physics of
the civilized life of man.
Oddly enough, the event is held back
by one of the caprices of progress. The
strength of the locomotive is its imper-
fection. The application of steam TO
enginery is accompanied with an error
which has cost civilization more dear
ly than any other flaw in her appara-
tus. The acceptance of electricity as
the one great motive force is strongly
impeded by circumstance which, ac-
cording to all logical deduction, ought
long since to have been obviated. This
circumstance lies in the application of
heat, or rather i'm the evolution of heat
and its economy in the production of
power. Fully four-fifths OF all the fuel
of the world is thrown away. The 7O,-
600, 600 people in the United States are
burning up their own most precious
resources with an absolute waste of
more than 50 per cent of the whole.
Victor Hugo chided the Parisians for
sending annually through the sewers
y, 100000 francs into the sea. What
shall we say of the whole world
shoveling coal into the roaring throats
of l0o,0o0,0O0 furnaces? There is not
an engine anywhere, or ever was, that
economies more than 70 per cent of the
fuel which it devours.-John Clark

Rural Notes.

Look out for brist.es on the man who
is forever prating about his courtesy
and great consideration for the rights
of others.
People are becoming more and more
shy of buying poor mutton, and there
fore farmers are paying more heed TO
the raising and feeding of good sheep.
Although there is much in favor of
other rations oats is about the best
thing We can give the calves. Mixed
with cornmeal it is a great milk pro-
ducer for cows.
The best proof that there is fair profit
in raising good cattle may be found in
the fact that the men who handle that
sort are not complaining about the
business.
The farmer who is making his land
richer every year is laying up the best
bank account possible. Robbing the
soil for present profits is never practic-
ed by good farmers.
Sheep will injure themselves eating
salt only when a careless shepherd has
deprived them of it too long. Keep
the salt where they will take only so
much as is required to satisfy their
actual needs.
For Winter feed you should cut the
hay just as the seed begins to form.
After that the food properties in the
stalk go into seed. This rule holds
good to a greater or lesser extent to all
grasses, but is especially applicable in
the case of timothy grass.
The large, coarse varieties Of carrots
most used for stock feeding are not 50
nutritious as is the shorthorn, which
grows most of its bulk near the surface
or slightly above it. As the shorthorn
carrot can grow more thickly in the
row, it is nearly as productive as the
deeper setting varieties, and it is also
more easily harvested. Five to six
hundred bushels of the shorthorn car
rot may be grown per acre. This is a
paying crop at the usual price of this
root.-Home and Farm.

But bring me the pumpkin pie.
When sorrow sweeps over my weary soul
And the teardrops come to my eye,

With dishes 10 dazzle my eye,

And well dine on pumpkin pie.

Amelia Sail in Ballast-Water Front
News and Gossip

The Rio de Janeiro may be expected
early tomorrow morning from San
Francisco.
The Kinau sailed this morning with
a good load of freight and her cabins
full of passengers.
The Waialeale is expected from IA
uai early tomorrow with full cargo
of sugar for the S. y. Castle.
The tug has been kept quite busy
today, taking some small schooners
| out to sea in addition to the deep sea
craft.
The Drammen has locked at the
railroad wharf, in the berth just va
| Gated by the Nuuanu, to finish dis
charging her cargo of Newcastle coal.
These are dun days along the water
front, but it is the calm that pre-
ceeds the storm. Next month the har-
| Dor will be full of vessels. and all of
| the Island steamers will be in COM
mission. '
The Amelia will sail for the Sound
this afternoon. probably towing out.
Her master was anxious to get away
Yesterday. but the wind was souther-
ly. and he waited over a day for the
change that did not come.
The Iva got in last night after eX-
periencing some pretty rough wealth
err off the other side of the Island.
Captain Townsend was unable TO land
portion of her freight. He secured
800 bags of paddy however.
The Alice Cooke is receiving a
pretty general overhauling on the
railway. Much new callling has been
done on her, and paint has not been
spared. She will be the handsomest
vessel in the harbor when she comes
off the ways.
Having finished discharging her
railroad iron, the bark Nuuanu left
her berth at the railroad wharf this
morning and hauled over to Soren-
sons to finish getting out her gen
eral cargo. When she is clear. she will
be put in shape for sugar cargo.
The S. c. Allen will sail for San
Francisco in ballast this afternoon,
returning here next month with a
merchandise cargo to load sugar. She
has been handled with great dispatch
during her stay in port. Arriving
here just a week ago. she has dis
charged her inward cargo, taken on
$50 tons of ballast and made ready for
sea. Captain Johnson will spend the
holidays at home, if the winds are not
adverse.
The Mauna Ala will have her cargo
out at noon on Monday, if all goes
well. 1t will then be decided whether
she will undergo repairs here or IN
the coast. The old bark is sadly in
need of repairs. She needs new cop
per and calking, and general over
hauling. 1t is estimated that the cost
will be close to 81 90. The work
can be done here. and the owners may
decide to have it done, provided that
they will not have to wait too long
for a berth on the ways. The Mauna
Ala already has her ballast in. so that
she can sail on short notice if desir-
able. In case she does drydock here
it will not be necessary to take the
ballast out.
