Some Good Reading.

The Hawaiian News Company has
just received from the coast another
shipment of that remarkable war book
by Stevens, With Kitchener to Khar-
tOum. Stevens was the London Mail
correspondent, was the pet of Kitch-
ener and was by long odds the most
graphic and careful writer in the field.
His descriptions of the campaign. in
Guiding his battle pictures, are of the
most vivid sort, fairly making the
blood tingIe. New stocks have also
been received by the Hawaiian News
Company of: River Syndicate, Caryll;
Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow,
Jerome; Adventures of Capt. Kettle;
The Associate Hermits, Frank r.
Stockton; Mr.. Dooley in Peace and
War; David Harum, Westcott. David
Harum is having a big sale. There Is
demand for Mr.. DOoley, which is the
most fun that can be found between
book covers just now. Jerome is de-
llightful again in the Second Thoughts
Hermits is in StOckton's best vein
Capt. Kettle has attracted much atten-
ton and River Syndicate is a strong
story.

Potatoes for Fatteninc Hogs.

Whenever potatoes are very cheap
farmers are apt to try to get some
thing out of them by feeding them to
stock. Every year there is certain
proportion of potatoes too small or too
scabby to be marketable, and some of
these are likely to be given to the fat
tening hogs with the idea that their
starch can be converted into fat. But
only 20 per cent. of the potato is
starch, the other 80 being nothing but
water. Even when cooked the potato
absorbs as much water as it loses, and
is much too bulky in the small stom-
ach of a hog to serve as its principal
feed. Beyond the small amount re-
quired to keep the bowels open, po-
tatoes are no advantage to the hog,
and for this few beets which the hog
will eat with greediness are greatly
to be preferred.

Shelter for sheep.

Sheep suffer if kept in close, under
ground, unventilated stables, which
are pretty sure to be also damp and
have foul air. Even in warm weather
sheep will prefer to sleep on knolls,
not merely to be able to watch against
danger, but also to secure free circu-
lation of pure air. So long as the
roof keeps out the rain, the open tex
ture OF the wool on the sleeps backs
will keep cold out, however severe,
provided it is not accompanied by wet.
The sheep need this shelter from rain,
even when the weather is not so very
cold, though the oil which nature pro-
vides protects the skin from being
wet, unless the storm is SO long con-
tinued that the sheep is chilled
through.

On the Buying of Fertilizers.

The price of fertilizers is subject
upon which we receive more OF less
complaint every spring. These COM
plants usually reach MS in May or
June, when it is too late to change
the methods of purchase, and usually
come from those who buy in small lots
on credit.
The successful farmers who are
large consumers of fertilizers don't
find fault with the price. Why? Be-
cause they know enough to take ad-
vantage of the fierce competition in
the fertilizer trade. Such farmers de-
eide in midwinter what xii of fertil-
izers, mixtures or materials they want,
they pool their orders, get bids from
various manufacturers or dealers and
place their contracts where they can
get the most for their money. Usually
such contracts are for spot cash on
delivery, OF if any credit is asked, gilt
edge negotiable notes are offered that
can be discounted at a low rate at any
bank in the vicinity.
The fact is, where fertilizers are
thus purchased in businesslike way.
of reliable firms, the farmer is always
satisfied, and invariably also buys the
highest grade brands, mixtures or
materials.
1t is true, however, that the great
bulk of the trade is with farmers who
don't place their orders until the last
minute, then buy in small lots and
usually want long time. If the latter
class would do as the businesslike
farmers do, they would be equally
pleased. And this is true, whether
you buy the materials and make your
own mixtures OF buy the manufactur-
ers' brands. No industry has wit

descend to the village again until not
only the coast, but the offing, was well

now on Pitcairn, and visiting ship is
warmly welcomed.
The Parliament House of the island
is interesting, because in it is some
timber taken from the Bounty. This
building has for windows two rows of
portfolios, which give it the appear
ance of stranded ship. The house
in which the president lives is the best
one on the island, and is called the
White House. Some of the natives of
Pitcairn have visited the United
States, and sailing vessels from San
Francisco touch there more frequent
ly than any other ships.

The women of Egypt.

The woman of ancient Egypt was
versed in every branch Of literature
and art. She not only reigned as
queen and shared the public life with
men, but she also held important
posts in the priesthood. The woman
of modern Egypt is seldom taught to
read or write, and not many of them,
even among the higher class, learn to
say their prayers. The girl of the
middle and upper classes is brought
up in absolute idleness. She is taught
nothing save respect to her parents.
Disobedience, being accounted one of
the seven deadly sins, is an unknown
quantity in an Egyptian household.
She is sometimes taught her prayers
and to recite few chapters of the
Koran by sort of governess. Only
very occasionally is girl taught to
read and write. She has more often
a teacher who instructs her in sewing
and needlework. The girl of the
poor leads an equally idle life, and,
though schools are numerous, her ed
ucation is confined to sewing and en-
broidery. y.-Detroit Free Press.

London,s Big Underground Lake.

London has suddenly found itself
in possession of cheap and mex
haustible supply of pure water, the
existence of which it had never sus-
pected. Walter Mosley the engineer
of London county council, has in
formed that body that underneath
London in an immense lake of pure
cold water, in a chalk basin 25O6
square miles in extent and 100 feet be-
low the surface of the ground. The
annual rainfall that sinks below to the
lake is at least $500 million gal
Ions. 1t is only necessary to sink a
sufficient number of deep wells in or
der to obtain all the water necessary.
An artesian we'll has already been sunk
to this lake at Chaplain, near London,
and is producing daily yield of
million gallons.

Use of Land Plaster.

SO far as our observation has ex-
tended the use of land plaster is not
nearly as extensive among farmers
now as it was when we were farm
ing in boyhood in section where
land had only recently been reclaimed
from forest. 1t appears to be certain
that on land newly cleared, gypsum or
land plaster produces wonderful ef-
fects, especially on clover and other
broad-leaved plants. But after some
years of clover plastering it was found
that something else was required, and
experiment with phosphates which be-
gan about that time showed that this
was on heavy land what was needed.
On light sandy soil potash was more
often the missing element. So the
farmers who had sandy land either
mixed ashes with gypsum or sowed
the potash fertilizers alone, and had
better results than they had from SOW
Ing gypsum alone as they had hereto
Tore done. When phosphate was used
1t was usually given in the form of
superphosphate, in which large part
Of the lime is converted by sulphuric
ACID into gypsum, which is another
name for sulphate of lime. 1t was
not merely useless, but injurious, to
add more gypsum to this, for the in
efficiency of the phosphate as phos-
phate depended on the very small pro-
portion of phosphate which was left
active because there was not lime
enough for it to unite with Yet we
have seen farmers mix phosphate with
gypsum or lime III its pure form, little
realizing that they were thus lessen
Ing the availability of the phosphate.
There are many places where land
newly cleared is brought under culti-
vation, and in all such we advise a
trial of gypsum or land plaster. 1t
will prove there an effective fertilizer.

The crime which was responsible
for the settlement of Pitcairn Island
was the mutiny Of the crew of the
British warship Bounty in 1889. That
mutiny was led by Fletcher Christian,
masters mate of the ship. The first
murderer of Pitcairn Island was Harry
A. Christian, descendant of Fletcher
Christian. When, under the lead of
Fletcher Christian, the crew of the
Bounty seized that ship, they put the
captain, Bligh, and certain others
who had refused to join them, into an
open boat and set them adrift. The
captain and his party, after a severe
and hazardous experience, reached

Primitive Arithmetic.

The native arithmetic of Murray
Islands, Torres Strait, is described by
the Rev. A. E. Hunt in the latest
Journal of the Anthropological Insti-
tute. The only native numerals are
netat (one) and neis (two). Higher
numbers could be described either by
reduplication, as neis netat, literally,
two-one for three; neis-i-neis. or two.
two for four, etc., or by reference
to some part of the body. By the
latter method total of thirty one
could be counted. The counting COM
mencing at the little finger of the left
hand, thence counting the digits,
wrist, elbow, armpit, shoulder, hollow
above the clavicle, thorax, and thence
in reverse order down the right arm,
ending with little finger of right hand.
This gives twenty-one. The toes are
then resorted to, and these give ten
more. Beyond this number the term
gaire (many) would be used. Eng
lish numerals are now in general use
in the islands.

The War Color for Shfps,

Our war with Spain threw much
light on the question of the proper
color to render warships invisible to
the enemy. The best tint was found
to be dull gray with yellow shade.
Ships thus colored blend inconspicu-
ously with the horizon, and with all
the rocks alongshore. How nature
deals with a similar question is showp
by the black and yellow stripes of the
zebra and the tiger, which render
those animals almost invisible AMID

Daniel G. French, Harper's Weekly is

dore Dewey, with the following in
scription: ''The gift of the people OF
the United States to the officers and
men of the Asiatic Squadron under the
command of Commodore George
Dewey" Upon the reverse, sur
rounded by the words: ''In memory
of the victory of Manila Bay, May 1,
1885," is the figure of young sailor,
stripped to the waist, who sits upon a
gun, with the flag across his knees,
and one foot resting upon swinging
loop of rope. In this beautiful figure
Mr.. French has admirably embodied
the genius of the episode in its high
est and purest aspect-the spirit of
the feet, such as ones imagination
may picture it to have been on that
memorable morning, and also the
spirit of the country on whose behalf
it was going into action. The chief
Characteristic of the face is youth
the beauty, confidence and pure in
tention of youth. In the pose of the
figure are alertness, fearless upright
ness and the unconscious grace aud
composure of assured strength. The
very disposition of the flag is sugges-
hive. The moment represented is not
