WOOD AND WATER.

There are two things which the Gov
eminent of the Territory ought to pro-
tect, the forests and the water supply.
In point of fact the two are intimately
connected. If the land is too much
denuded the rains run off the earth in
few torrents very quickly and nothing
is stored in natural reservoirs. The re-
suit is that the water courses are for
few hours seething torrents of turbid
water and then become as dry as the
valleys in the Sahara.
That lack of care in the cutting away
and clearing of forest land has told
upon the water supply of some of our
estates is certain. Any one acquainted
with the conditions of the country can
put his hand upon half a dozen such
cases. Most of those who have so in
jured their property are doing their
very best to repair the damage, but it
takes years and much expenses to bring
about the former conditions.
Take the case of Nuuanu Valley,
sixty or seventy years ago there was
very heavy growth of trees and I'M
der bush on the valley proper. In those
days the stream never ran dry. Even
in the worst Of times there was always
some water in the bed of the stream.
Clearing the upper part of the valley
and putting cattle upon it, soon got rid
of the under bush and twenty or TWEEN
ty-five years ago the stream was con-
stantly dry, till some member of the
Cabinet OF that time realized what was
going on, bought out the rights of the
cattle people and removed the cattle,
giving the underground chance to re-

cover, and allowing the vegetation the
opportunity of holding the water, in
stead of allowing it to run off IN a
freshet after every shower.
Anyone who has been observant Of
the Nuuanu stream since that pur-
chase, knows how long it took for that
stream to recover. Indeed it has not
recovered yet completely, and 1t is
doubtful whether it will ever do so, Still
even in our recent dry spell, when the
storage reservoirs were at the lowest
ebb, there still was a little water run
ming under the second bridge.
The government owns many sources
in charge of the public affairs to nurse
those supplies and not to ALLEVIATE them
or throw them into the hands of syndi-
Gates or corporations which would use
them for the profit of the few against
the advantage of the many. We must
remember that we are looking forward
to the settlement of this Territory by
class of small farmers. The expert
ment has been tried and appears to
be successful. The small farmer must
have ample water. and he ought to have
it free of expense, or at a merely nomi-
nal rate.
In times past the government has al
lowed the control of water systems to
go out of its hands altogether. There
is a case on record where the govern
ment sold the bed of stream 20 GER
tain parties, which was certainly a
most extraordinary proceeding.
The use of water for power may, on
the other hand, be given IN return for
equivalent of rent, which should be con-
siderable, since power means money.
Water used for power can be returned
to the stream it is taken from, and
should always be so returned, or else
utilized for irrigation purposes. But
here again governments of the past
have been lax. There is one concern
using government water for power pur-
poses which it pays no rent for, and
moreover ii allows the water which it
uses to run to waste instead of return
ing it to the stream
There will be plenty of schemes put
forward for getting the control of water
supplies, and such sources as the gov
eminent holds possession of should be
jealousy guarded for the benefit of the
mass and not for the advantage of the
individual. In fact it would be a good
thing for the next Legislature to APP
point a regular water commission.

The change of the Sunday concert
from Makee Island to the grounds of
the Capitol is a very good one. It en-
ables far more people of the class that
it is wished to reach to avail themselves
of Captain Berger's excellent music.
For man of ordinary income to pay
20 cents a head for himself wife and
family was quite heavy item. He can
now have the advantage of the music
without paying too highly for it. To
reach the masses should be the aim of
all those who have charge of the gov
eminent band or any other government
institution.

Curious as 1t may appear to many
people. 1t is. nevertheless. extremely
probable that the war in South Africa
may have the effect of giving an i'm
mense stimulus to mule breeding In
Great Britain. The truth is that the
military authorities have discovered
that the demand for really eligible
mules far exceeds the supply, and as It
Is evident to the public that the prices
paid for such animals are remunera-
tive, 1t is pretty certain that the les
son will receive the attention it de-
serves. In this country the mule is
highly valued for heavy draught work
When 1t is also borne in mind that the
mule can exist well where a horse
would well-nigh starve, that he Is the
most healthy of animals and willing
worker, in spite of all th1 jokes which
are made on the score of the obstinacy
displayed by some mules, there can be
no gainsaylng the fact that he is .

The preferred table linen is of fine
damask with an embroidered cipher
This device is no longer made very
large and conspicuous, and is not much
greater for the tablecloth than for the
napkins. There is nothing so difficult
to judge as table linen; no fabric where
deliberations or exact qualities are so
difficult to discern. In other than
high-grade establishments, where one
must depend upon personal Judgment
for the purity of a fabric, there are a
few points to keep in mind. Pure linen
is hard and slippery. never soft and
pliable. II moistened finger be APP
piled to an all-linen cloth the moisture
will at once appear on the other side,
whereas in mixed goods it will appear
slowly or not at all. The fax odor is
always noticeable in linens, and every
woman should learn to recognize it or
it's absence. Sheets with ruffled tops
are again used. after being long aban-
doned. Sheets and pillowcases, with
the bolster cases, If bolster is en-
ployed are made in sets to match.
Yellow or grayish lace, now seen on
underwear, is likewise adopted for bed
linen. Hemstitching is another dec
grafton which is much elaborated with
drawn work for bed linen and towels.
The laces which are chosen for trim
ming this class of household linen are
Mechlin, Valenciennes and guipure.
Beb covers of Richelieu embroidery
over lining OF colored taffeta are
seen. The most satisfactory ones,
however, are those OF fine white Mar
settles fringed or embroidered around
the edge and always fresh by reason
of their capability of being frequently
Numbered

The car of Russia Is not much In
love with the grandeur in which he is
compelled to live. He has no liking
for soldiers or sportsman's life, and
is never more uncomfortable than
when obliged to don the gorgeous uni
form of some crack regiment of which
he is colonel. He is fond of rowing
cycling, tennis and other quiet sports.
His happiest moments are spent in his
unpretentious library. The car and
his young wife have for their favorite
domestic resort the small Alexander
palace. at Czarskoie Selo. In the
grounds of this palace is a queerly
built pavilion. or summer house, which
was designed by the great Catherine of
Russia, and here the royal pair enjoy
their meals unattended by servants. A

floor when each course is finished and
reappears laid for the following course.
