so EMPTY HOMES
Cottages On the Lime Of the Flood
Are Deserted.
LOOKING AFTER DISTRESSED
Money Sent ln-WaS Threat of An
Country and Suburbs-Notes
DESERTED VILLAGES.

There was a gloomy air of desolation
about several of the localities OF the
flooded districts, even after the sun
came out yesterday. Natives and
others forced away from their homes
by the food had sought asylum with
relatives or friends all over the city.
Those in distress were given cordial
welcome wherever they went. The
vacant cottages were above Kaumaka-
pill and in Aala, mauka Of King street.
Marshal Brown sent men to these
places and saw to it that those requir-
ing assistance Of any sort were pro-
vided for without delay. There was
much wreckage everywhere in the flood
line. Water remained only in very low
places, but the floors of the cottages
were thoroughly soaked and the habi-
tations will not be fit for occupancy
for some days. About half a hundred
cottages were abandoned. Upon the
hint that there might be need Of funds
for relief work, Marshal Brown receiv-
ed three voluntary contributions. The
Inter-Island Steam Navigation Co.,
sent 800. Minister Damon sent the
same and F. A. Schaefer & Co., con-
| tributed $50. The Marshal carried the
$3.50 to Mrs. S. c. Allen, president of
the Hawaiian Relief Society. Mrs. AL
len had already been looking after a
number of natives in straits from loss
of their ALL 1t is not believed that a
large or general relief movement will
be at all necessary.
In many of the little houses most
of the furniture had been left. Be-
longings had been placed high on the
walls as possible, or stacked on tables
Pigs and chickens went along with the
muddy torrent. At nearly all the
places the cottage doors were open
Little flower gardens and cane patches
so dear to the native Hawaiians had
| been swept away. The fences erected
by their own hands were gone to the
last piece and the wood piles were
missing. A large number of dogs were
drowned. This loss is source of con-
siderable sorrow in many native
| families.
The Chinese shop keepers along King
street near the railway depot were
about as 'chipper" as ever yesterday.
Most of them were smiling over the
consolation that the storm damage was
not even greater. The hundred or more
Chinese actors and stage hands living
in the two theaters are still in new
homes. Both theaters will remain
closed for some time.

An Estimate of Henry George.

Henry George had all the popular
gifts of the American orator and jour-
nalist, with something more. Sincerity
rang out of every utterance. Sparing in
book knowledge, he had hammered out
his thoughts upon the forge of personal
experience and showed them hot from
the hammer, rude and unfinished in
form. For this very reason Progress
and Poverty. stumbling block to re-
sponsible politicians, to the economic
professor fOOlishness, struck the common
mind of the thinking people with con-
vincing and dramatic force. The influ-
ence of this first book of serious eco
nOmtc import which ever reached the
outer circle of the English reading pub
lie is not to be sighted. It is matter
of deep significance that such a book
should have reached circulation of far
upward of 100, copies. Upon the
pressure of the early popularity of his
book Henry George threw the weight of
his present personality, and his great
gifts as orator and debater secured his
influence and widely advertised his doc
trines at a time particularly favorable
to their reception. -FortnightIy Re-

Nervous Prostitution.

DR.. j. Curtis Webb, an eminent Err,
lish physician, recently lectured on y
subject. The lecturer said that hysterIH
was symptom of nerve exhaustion and
was state i'll which the ideas control
led the body and produced NOR bid
changes in it's functions. If allowed to
so on uninterrupted, nervous exhaust; n
and breakdown followed. The seeds ~
this really terrible disease were in 90
cases out of 100 sown and watered dur
ing the period of education and training
of girls at and after critical period of
life. Such cases were more frequent
since the introduction of the system of
higher education of women, for the ad-
vOcates of this made the great mistake
OF assuming that there was no real diff
ference between girls and boys between
the ages of IA and 81. He mentioned
the frequent occurrence of cases of
anema and breakdown among girls and
attributed this to excessive mental work
and the lack of healthy exercise.
He advocated golf, cycling, lawn ten.
mis- and other games as preventive and
corrective and insisted upon the neces-
sity for regular indulgence in physical
exercise. 1t was not work which hurt,
but perseverance in work after nature
had held out her danger signals in the
shape Of constant lassitude, loss of ap-
petite and irregularity of functions.
Nervous exhaustion sometimes occurred
as result Of excessive physical exer-
else, and among middle aged ladies as q
result of worry. The remedy in the lat
ter case was to live easier and according
to rule. The complaint was also met
with in young children and was in these
cases generally due to the forcing of
mental faculties or constant soolding
and nagging.

the latter is returning to favor. Bruges
makes round mesh valenciennes, not so

coarser qualities come from Courtrai

the Netherlands, which accounts for
their early proficiency in lacemaking.
Flemish guipures are noted for their
excellence. The Belgian and French
laces are the finest, in point of fabrica-

Be Careful!

No woman can be too careful of
her condition during the period be-
fore her little ones are born. Neglect
or improper treatment then endan-
gers her life and that of the child. 1t
lies with her whether she shall suffer
unnecessarily, or whether the ordeal
shall be made comparatively easy.
She had better do nothing than do
something wrong.
