HURRAH FOR HAWAII.
Recent Visitor Grows Eloquent
Over Annexation.

The following beautiful sentiments
were expressed in a letter received yes
terday from a well known California
lady who visited Honolulu about year
ago:
''Hurrah for Hawaii! Hurrah for
Honolulu! And three cheers for all
the good friends in our new country
1--WE all wish we were with you in
these exciting times. We are with you
in heart and soul, and wait with pleas
ure all news from our dear Island
home.
You join forces with a cOnquering
army at most propitious moment, and
your adoption is hailed with music,
banners, and hurrahs. You have now
all our hearts anew, with your kind
ness to our soldier boys; and the one
bright spot in their army lives will
be the day spent among flowers and
palms in our new land, with the ladies
ministering angels to all their wants.
Hope it will not be long now before
we have a cable, and we can then
grasp your hand in such loving
hearty shake, that the pleasant thrill
can even be felt through the iron
glove
I'VE are now members of one family,
with one flag, one stamp and one gov
eminent; and with your flag pressed
tight to your loving hearts, we will
wrap you in the ample folds Of the
stars and stripes"

could do for him did not seem to give
more than temporary relief, until we

WAYS OYSTERS HAVE.
A Pleasant Chat About an Old Friend
which Should Interest Our
Boys md Girls.

When 1t comes to keeping his mouth
other day, can give points to the man
who eats him. When once a social or
domestic secret is his it's his forever.
1t never goes any further, so far as he
is concerned. The proverbial wild
horses could not drag it from him.
But great as is the oysters wisdom
in this respect, in other ways his in
tellect is decidedly inferior to that of
HE consumer. For instance, he hasn't
learned the art of making up in or
der to conceal his age. Anyone who
wishes to do so can find out how old an
oyster is. You don't have to go to the
trouble of looking at his teeth to find
out, either. The lines in the groove
of the hinge of the she'll tell the whole
story, and very accurately, too. These
lines are true index to the number
of layers composing the shell, being,
in fact, nothing else than their att
tenuated tails, and as the number of,
layers all depends upon the age of the
oyster the problem becomes as sim
pie as the familiar "if equals a and
equals b, then must be equal to
b" proposition. One of these layers
grows each year, and no matter how
| hard the oyster may try to keep it
from showing it is bound to overlap it's
predecessor and leave a ridge which
is just as disturbing to Mr.. or Mrs.
Oyster as an annual wrinkle would be
to the human race. Up to the time
of an oysters maturity these layers
are arranged with regularity, but aft
er that they are fairly piled over each
other just as if the little animals
birthdays had crowded upon each
other so rapidly that he didn't have
time to spread out one new plate be-
fore another was right at his heels.
An oyster comes of age when he
is four years old. Coming of age in
the oyster kingdom means that he is
old enough to vote, take care of a
family and-go to market. Going to
market is disastrous undertaking
and is generally the last of him, for a
four-year-old oyster is particularly
palatable, and people do not hesitate
to pay pretty liberal price for pint
OF quart of him. By this it must
not be supposed that after an oyster has
passed the four-layer period and has
five, six or even ten wrinkles on his
shell that he is back number and fit
for nothing but to keep on acumulat-
ing wrinkles until he dies from old age
Indeed, there are records of oysters
being eaten just after celebrating
their thirtieth birthday, and in most
cases they formed quite delicious
meal. This is an unusual age for an
oyster to attain, because few of them
are given an opportunity to live SO
long. If left to enjoy life in his own
way, it is quite probable that the
oyster would become an octogenariar
or even centenarian.-Chic Rec

the structure nail some 1x3 strips or
any old boards that are handy. Over
this structure the straw stack is built,
and when finished has the appearance
as shown in Figure 2. In this way a
snug shelter of considerable size can
be made beneath the stack, under
which cattle, sheep or hogs can take
refuge in stormy weather. The poles
can remain, if necessary, from year to
year. If taken down, it can be rear
ranged in short time, just before
thrashing is done. Such an archway
shelter will not be out of place in many
a well-kept barnyard.-Charles II.

THE HORSES HOOPS.
Their Feet Rasped on and
Level as Possible.

Have you good rasp for the feet of
the colts? The old saying mo foot,
no horse" is not only true one, but
should teach the farmer to take the
best of care of the feet of all colts,
says a writer in Australasian. The
toe often gets too long, unbalances
the foot, and then come splints, spav-
ins and every other disease to which
the feet and legs are heir. See that
the foot is kept rasped off and level.
Do not use knife if it can be helped,
as the first blacksmith that shoes the
colt will cut away enough to last a
lifetime. In no part of the horses
anatomy has he suffered SO many
wrongs or endured so much unneces-
sary suffering as in his feet. If there
is the least excuse every blacksmith h
will use knife. Try to let the colts
grow up with such good strong feet
that there will be no excuse for cut
ting them. Use the rasp on the under
side of the toe, and under no circum-
stances put the rasp on the outside of
the foot. The entire hoof, from the
coronet to the sole, is covered by a
fine coating of natural varnish be-
ginning at the upper margin or coro-
net and gradually becoming thinner
as it descends. Under cover of this
varnish the new horn is secreted and
protected until it attains it's maturity
The moisture necessary by the animal
economy to the perfection of the horn
is retained within it, and the intiu.
ences of wet and dry are set at def
ance. 1t is easy to see that this most
important covering should not be In
terfered with, and the foot should be
kept level and in good shape from the
| underside.

PLYING THE POOR.
a Tramp who Would Not Take the
Crust from n Needy Wom-
ans Mouth.

Sometimes the tramp gets the better of the
thrifty housewife. The mistress of pretty
little cottage at Sausalito-she only inherited
about 100000, and so is obliged to be frugal
is the object of a little criticism rom her
friends because of her reputed parsimony.
Last Saturday, as she was sitting on her pi-
azza, overlooking the water, apd waiting for
Ted to come home, a passing knight of the
road humbly solicited bite; The young
woman could not Withstand the petition, so
she went herself to the bread box, which was
filled with freshly baked loaves, and brought
out to the waiting vagrant two slices of
boardlike consistency which had been baked
many days earlier. AS she presented her
bounty she felt just a trifle ashamed of it.
We are very poor ourselves" she said, in
muttered apology.
The outcast received the crust with a
courteous Thank you" and turned away.
\ moment later he returned and handed
the, young heiress the crusts and also a
nickel.
Il am very sorry for you," he said, in gen.
tie tones of genuine sympathy.-San Fran
cisco News Letter.

The cavalier replied, TRANQUILITY:
my friend, you are angry with me;
you say l have done you a great deal
of harm. Come with me to the king;
he is just. You will make your COM
plant, and 1 will explain my conduct.
The king will judge which of us is in
the right"
The shoemaker consented, and they
both went before the king. The shoe
maker spoke first, and said:
Sire, this gentleman stopped before
my shop this morning and, without
saying a word, cut my shoes in pieces.
He had no reason for so doing, as
have never done him any harm"
The king said: "My poor man, you
are right; this man is very cruel. Sir,
why were you so unkind to this poor
man? Defend yourself"
"Sire," responded the man, twill you
permit me to ask the shoemaker few
questions?"
The king signified his assent, and the
cavalier said:
Shoemaker, what were you doing
when stopped at your door?"
II was making a pair of shoes for
neighbor."
"What else were you doing?"
81 was singing. 1t is my habit when
l work. The birds sing. do not sing
as we'll as the birds, but I sing well
enough to amuse myself, and that is
sufficient"
THAT is not sufficient for me. What
rcng were you singing?"
81 was singing The Silence in the
Forest"
"Very we'll, it was who composed
the words and the music of that bal
lad. 1 stopped because you were sing
ing my song so loud that everyone in
the street could hear you. But when
heard how bad you sang it became
angry. You did not sing one note cor
rectly. You have completely spoiled
my song. If you had sung it inside
your house | would not have said a
word, but you sang it in the street
and in singing it so incorrectly you
have lessened my fame. Now, as you
have marred my music, l thought
had the right to cut up your shoes
| for that song was my work just as well
as the shoes were yours"
On hearing these words the king
began to laugh with all his heart, ant
| said:
"My friends, you are both right, but
as it is not fair that the poor shoe,
maker should lose the price of his
shoes, will pay for them. Neither
is it right that the reputation of q
musician should suffer, SO invite you
to sing your song at court this even
ing, and i promise you that everyone
will be there to hear how beautiful
it Is"
The judgment of the king pleased
both of the men, and all the courtierl
declared that their king was as wis,
as Solomon, and that his judgment was
just as remarked BILE -Contes ct Leg

CAVALIER AND COBBLER.
The Trouble Between Them Was Set
tied by n King Who Was ms
Wise as Solomon.

A shoemaker who lived at Perpig-
nan was sitting at his door one day.
While he worked he sang ballad very
much in vogue at that time. A gentle
man on horseback passing by stopped
to listen to the song. He remained
there until the shoemaker had fin
ished; then he descended from his
horse, approached the man, and, TAX
ing pair of scissors, he cut into pieces
several pairs of new shoes, then, with
out saying word, he remounted and
continued his way.
The shoemaker, at first stupefied
soon started after the horseman, cry
ing:

Rich Mans Wise Rules.

Baron Rothschild, the head of what
is reputed to be the most powerful
family in European financial circles,
is said to have posted in his bank in
London the following list of rules for
the guidance of his clerks: "Shun
liquor; dare to go forward; never be
discouraged; be polite to everybody;
employ your time well; never tell busi-
ness lies; pay your debts promptly; be
prompt in everything; bear all troubles
patiently; do not reckon upon chance;
make no useless acquaintaaces; be
brave in the struggle of life; maintain
your integrity as sacred thing; never
appear something more than you are;
take time to consider, then decide posi-
lively; carefully examine into every
detail of your business"

1t may seem one of the simplest of
all farm operations to cut and put
standing corn in stock. Yet in every
field where five or six men are work
ing together in cutting, close observ-
er will note that some rows of stocks
show the corn cut low down. with very
little breaking off of ears, and even
the suckers well cleaned up around the
hills, while other rows of stocks will
show the reverse of these conditions,
1t is, therefore, really skilled labor
that the expert i'll corn cutting shows.
and we believe that the expert in this
case, as In every other, is entitled to
larger compensation for the skill with
which the work has been done.

JACK AND THE BEANSTALK.

Jack was an orphan, poor, but true;
A wondrouS bean he found;
And ere he slept, for safety's sake,
He hid 1t in the ground.
One morn he rose to see a vine
Above his hidden treasure,
That DER a palace near him grew,
Whose height he could not measure.
81
And soon vision moved the boy
To thrust his hatchet strong
Within the vine, and upward rise
Singing this merry song:
"I'll hitch my hatchet and up I'll go;
The higher L climb the more I'll know. "
He mastered all one room could teach,
Then climbed a story higher;
For love and knowledge all his soul
Burned with pure desire.
"Tll hitch my hatchet and up I'll go;
The higher climb the more I'll know
And so he rose by sure degrees,
From alphabet to college,;
For the vast palace he explored
The temple was of knowledge.
