Frequent light rains such as
we are having every day or
two has a great effect upon
the grass and you can almost
see it grow. The green lawns
of Honolulu are in strange
contrast with the white, snow
robed gardens of Vancouver
at this time of year, but to
have the lawn in Honolulu
always beautiful it must be
attended to.
LAWN MOWERS,
GARDEN HOSE,
RAKES and HOES,
SHEARS and SPHINX
LERS,
Are among the things need
ed in every dwelling where
there is suspicion of a lawn
around it. If the quality of
such things is good they will
not have to be renewed as
often as when cheap ones are
bought. We import our stock
of garden tools from manufac-
turers in England whose re-
putation for quality of goods
produced extends to the four
corners of the earth and the
price is right.

THE GLORIOUS REDWOOD.
Grandeur of the Forest Kings OF thu

Grandeur of the Forest Kings Of the
Pacific Coast.
The redwood is the glory of the Coast
range. 1t extends along the western
slope, in nearly continuous belt ten
miles wide, from beyond the Oregon
boundary to the south of Santa Cruz,
Q distance of nearly 400 miles, and in
massive, sustained grandeur and close
ness of growth surpasses all the other
timber woods of the world. Trees
3 from 10 to Is feet in diameter and 800
feet high are not uncommon, and few
attain height of $50 feet, OF even 400,
with diameter at the base of Is to 20
feet or more, while the ground beneath
them is a garden of fresh, exuberant
ferns, lilies. gaultheria and rhododen-
dron.
As timber the redwood Is too good to
live. The largest sawmills ever bufrt
are busy along Its seward border,
with all the nodern improvements
but SO immense is the yield per acre ii
win be lone. ere the supply is ex-
hausted. The big tree is also to some
extent being made into lumber.
Though less abundant, it is, fortunate
~, less accessible, extending along the
western flank of the Sierra in par
tally interrupted belt about $50 miles
long, at height of from 1000 to 5000
feet above the sea. The enormous
logs, too heavy to handle, are blasted
into manageable dimensions with gun
powder. A large portion of the best
timber is thus shattered and destroyed,
and, with the huge knotty tops, is left
in ruins for tremendous fires that kill
every tree within their range, great
and small.-,John Muir, in Atlantic.

His eyes grew dim, he suffered, too.
Hunger came and cold winds blew;
While not a place to ease the pain,
He knew In all that wild domain.
Twas Klondike!
He thought of home and babes and wife.
And wondered IL again in life
He'd see them-as the fever's pace
Seemed burning through his pallid face
In Klondike!

Repaid the efforts, sad and brave,

When Lady Burton was travelling
alone in Brazil, after three months
roughing it in the interior, she ar
rived at Rio Janeiro in plight which
might excuse anyone for not recogniz-
ing her. Her boots were in shreds, her
dress in Sits, her hat in ribbons, and her
face, much swollen by exposure, was of
reddish mahogany hue.
On arriving she was told that the
Estrangeiros hotel, where she had left
her maid and luggage, was full, and so
she went to the next best house in town.
The landlord, seeing before him only
a ragged woman, pointed across the
road to a little tavern where sailors
wives were wont to lodge.

HISTORY OF IVORY.
It Dates Back to the Age OF Hero
glyphics.


The earliest recorded history-we
might say prehistoric, the hieroglyph-
ical-that has come down to us has
been in carvings on ivory and bone.
Long before metallnrgy was known
among the prehistoric races, carvings
on reindeer horn and mammoth tusk,
evidence of the antiquity Of the art.
Fragments of horn and ivory. engraved
with excellent pictures of animals,
have been found in caves and beds of
rivers and lakes. There are speci-
mems in the British museum, also in the
Louvre, of the Egyptian skin in ivory
carving, attributed to the age of Moses.
In the latter collection are chairs or
seats of the sixteenth century B. C. in
laid with ivory, and other pieces of the
eleventh century b. C. We have al
ready referred to the Nineveh worries.
Carving of the precious substance
was extensively carried on at Constan-
tinople during the middle ages. Combs,
caskets, horns. boxes, etc, of carved
ivory and bone, often set in precious
stones, of the old Roman and Anglo
Saxon periods, are frequently found in
tombs. Crucifixes and images of the
Virgin and saints made in that age arc
often graceful and beautiful. The Chi
nese and japanese are rival artists now
in their peculiar minutiae and detsil.--
