ARsoR oAY EXERCISES.
THE MILFORD SCHOOLS oBsERv THE
OCCASION.

OCCASION.
Last Friday, the day named by
Governor Hastings as Arbor Day,
was observed by the Milford schools
with very suitable and interesting
exercises. The children were out
in force and a number of parents
and friends manifested their desire
to encourage the efforts made by
the teachers by being present. Prof.
John @. Watson, Principal of the
Grammar Department, was master
of ceremonies, and the exercises
were opened with a song-Arbor
Day-and after prayer, Prof. Bay
ard Nichols, of the intermediate
Department, made an address. This
was followed by number of reoi-
tations, interspersed with singing
by the pupils, after which County
Superintendent Sawyer gave a very
interesting talk on trees, their USE
fulness, and the necessity for plant
ing them. Other addresses were
made by the pastors of the churches,
and many of the pupils took part in
recitations and songs. Flags were
freely displayed and the primary
school was especially happy with
handsome one which the children
had bought for themselves. The
several participants among the
children all acquitted themselves
with great credit, and were earnest
in their efforts to demonstrate to
the assembled audience that they
fully appreciated the day and its
real spirit.
Care should be taken in planting
the trees and it might be proper to
plant several on the school yard.
Sentiment is very proper to culti-
vate, but the active practice of
planting the trees and intoxicating
the idea that the children have in
them personal interest, is also pro-
per, and leads to a practical recog-
milton of the benefits for which the
day was inaugurated in Nebraska
in 1872. The order of exercises was
as follows:

by Schools.

Kaio, one of the condemned murder
ers of DR.. j. X. Smith, of Kauai, still
lives in hope that he will cheat the
gallows. His attorney \. G.. NJ. Rob-
ertson, has just had published a small
book containing extracts from the Su-

as well as the defendants brief. These
are being distributed among the law
yers.
Mr.. Robertson insists that the feel
ing among Hawaiians generally is OPP
posed to the severe penalty imposed
upon Kaio. For the circulation of
his book, Mr.. Robertson explains that
it is done for the reason that the pro-
fession may fully understand the ques-
tons raised in these important cases.

A corset made of rubber is adapted for
the use of women who are learning 70
swim. This corset, says the New York
sun, is cut on the same general lines as
the corsets, and made double so that the
air space between the two thicknesses
may be blown up and serve not only to
present neat appearance to the figure,
but also TO buoy it up and give confidence
10 the timid. A lack of confidence is re-
sponsible for the slowness with which
this accomplishment is learned by women.
TINS corset should prove a boon to women
who delight in aquatic sports but have no
hardihood for them. The very knowledge
that they cannot sink leaves their brain
clear enough to think of the proper
strokes for hands and feet, and as soon as
they find they can move through the wa
ter from one place TO another, and be-
come accustomed to these movements. the
corset may be discarded. 1t is much more
shapely than the big rubber rings AM

show at all, as it conforms to the shape
of the wearer.

owner is playing croquet. When croquet
IS IN vogue, footgear of an attractive kind
usually holds sway. Do you remember
the dainty, little satin shoe, with big ro-
settes OF our mothers day?
One of the many essential differences be
tween the old-fashiOned girl and the new,
says the New York Tribune, is that the
latter can put on a collar or tie a "tie
with manly accuracy and neatness, while
the former has all sorts Of queer devices
that she puts around her neck, and fan
cles that they look smart A ribbon with
a shirtwaist, a collar that betrays to the
initiated that it is ready made" a bow
that is not strictly conventional are among
anomalies that class her as not being up
TO date.
What sort of a girl is Miss So" said
a genuemanly' young woman in answer
20 a query about a new arrival at a
well-known summer resort.
ION, she is the kind that ties a ribbon
around her neck, and holds your hand and
calls you dear t-cher-know; the reg
ulation old-fashioned girl" A pretty, af-
fectlonate, feminine type, which neverthe-
less has her attractions, despite the fact
that she is no longer the fashion. The
new young woman rarely ifNever kisses; she

probably say in the words of
Matzalini in nicholas Ntckle-
by" 1T is demmed moist and unpieas-
ant" For the entire frankness with
which the modern girl expresses herself
is another chacteristic. There is no doubt
about her likes or disikes, and if a word
suits her purpose she uses it without con-
siderng in the least if it Is conventional
which makes her language forcible, to say
the least. 1t is rather comforting, how
ever, for the Old-fashioned relatives of

tally frank duchesses and other grand la

will pass; the "ewig weibliche" cannot be
materially changed by any passing fash
ion of speech or manner.
