"HEAVED OUT"

\ vessel "heaved out" sight once
familiar in Honolulu but which has
become rare since the marine railway
was built, may be seen today in the
slip next the old fish market wharf
"Heaving out" as sailors know, is to
careen a vessel by means of tackle
from her mast heads to the shore so
that the bottom can be got at to be
scraped and repaired. The little
schooner Rob Roy is heaved out and
is receiving a coat of copper paint and
other repairs.

AN EASTER BONNET.

The nodding plumes of a new Easter
bonnet came in contact with cigar
lighter in Chicago drug store the 9TH
er afternoon. Instantly the bonnet was
in flames and the stylishly dressed
wearer sent up a series of hysterical
screams A clerk in that store had his
wits about him. He seized the settler
syphon and aimed a stream at the blaZ-
ing headgear. He put out the fire, but
the woman fed without picking up the
charred, seltzer- soaked remains.

EDUCATION IN THE HOME.
Family Alliances Should be F0rme
Against Ignorance of the Three RS.

Family Alliances Should be Formed
Against Ignorance of the Three RS.
"When one finishes school or college
one is only beginning to learn, and what
better postgraduate courses could one
have than the practical application OF
ideas through the medium Of friends and
family?' inquiries Francis Evans, in the
May Ladies' Home Journal. GAS far as
education is concerned the best family
friend is the dictionary. When you see
some one in family consulting the die
tionary whenever a doubtful word or
phrase comes up in the course of con-
versation you will find the members in
telligent people as far as facts can educate.
We may not be able to aid each other in
the higher education of philosophy
science and ethics, but one thing is Ger,
tain: we can form family alliances against
ignorance of the three RS as we'll as
geography, spelling and good English.
Slang has its uses, no doubt, but if Amer
lean parents do not give some heed to the
English talked by their children at home,
Americans hundred years hence will
have absolutely forgotten their mother
tongue"

as the late frosts did not seem to do any
damage in that line.
| Reports from all over the Yakima val
ley agree that the strawberry plants are
badly frozen out, and in many places
| they are almost entirely killed.
Cherries, pears and early apples are in
blOssm at Hartford, and prospects for q
havy yield are good. Owing to the cloudy
weather there has as yet been no frost to
kill the blossoms.
The prospects for good yield in this
county are good, except in the prune
orchards which have already suffered
much on account of the light frosts and
cold wind and rains.
The fruit yield in the Cowlitz valley
gives promise of full crop this season,
if there is not, q very large crop damage
to the fruit will have to come later on,
which is barely probable. Prunes, apples,
pears and plums indicate heavy yield.
The question with the farmers appears to
be how to dispose of their surplus to the
best advantage. Last year a part was
canned, part dried and part shipped
fresh from the trees, but very large
part rotted on the ground. For the parts
which were canned and dried no satisfac-
tory market could be found. This is be-
cause each Orchardist handled his fruit
separately, and the quantity not being
sufficiently large to warrant reaching out
for the best market. That part which was
shipped fresh, while the price promised
was satisfactory, the amount received
was very unsatisfactory.

The Pacific American Fish company
refuse to accept the first site offered them
at Fairhaven, that of the Bellingham Mill
grounds. They do not want it at any
price, but do want about 500 feet of the
water front where the Franco-American
cannery stands, and will accept nothing
else. The land company that owns this
site offered to lease it to them, but they
would not accept the terms, and there
the matter stands at present. They give
the impression that if they get what they
ask for they will make their headquarters
at Fairhaven without doubt.
