ATHLETE ClJNHA MAY
STAY IN HONOLULU

Albert r. Cunha is back in Honolulu
after winning laurels in athletics at
Yale and being announced as a member
of the Stanford football team for the
coming season. Cunha is a son of the
we'll known saloonkeeper and decidedly
popular.
After completing the four years
course and being graduated from the
Oahu College, Cunha, who had been a
conspicuous athlete on football and
baseball fields and at the boat clubs
here. entered Yale University in the fall
of 1898. He Immediately made the
freshman football team, and in the fol-
lowing spring made the freshman base
ball team. The rule requiring one
years residence after coming from an
other college debarred him from trying
for the varsity teams then, though he
was given sophomore standing and
was rated as a member of the class of
1901.
Last fan, however, Cunha came out
and entered the field with the varsity
candidates. and he secured the position
of center rush with ease against the
other aspirants. In the spring he made
varsity catcher with much the same
ease.
Last summer Cunha played catcher
| for the Burlingame Club baseball team.
For a big man he is wonderfully quick.
l. 1t is SAID that young Cunha may con-
/ clude to stay here and not return to
! college as his father dislikes to be sep
arated from him.

JlM's JEwELED TOOTH.
Gold Crown Set with Diamonds In
the Jaws of IA Boston hull Terrier.

Jim is a bull terrier whose pedigree
runs back through many generations
of distinguished ancestry. lie is an
aristocraU, born into luxury, and his
five years of life have been contin-
uous round of contentment and ease,
says the Boston Evening Transcript,
Everything that a pampered canine
could possibly desire is lavished on
Jim. The choicest tidbits fall to his
portion. The smartest of up-to-date
collars adorns his neck, and every
night he is tucked up in his own bed
with the clothes well up under his
chin, "just So" before he will shut
his eyes to sleep. Yachting trips and
country holidays make his summers
pass pleasantly, while his winter
quarters are such as BELTS q dog of
his position and accomplishments.
In point of luxurious living Jim is
not more favored than hundreds of
other Boston pets. He has one great
claim TO distinction, however, which
makes him peculiarly interesting-he
is regular customer at the dentists.
Some time ago Jim's master real
lied that something was the matter
with his prize dog. He investigated
and found two decayed teeth. Ac-
cordingly they were pulled out. The
operation was not unattended with
difficulties, but Jim seemed to know
that the ordeal was for his ultima te
good, and he behaved much better
than the average nan or woman who
takes nothing" when the forceps are
applied. Relief from pain was evi-
dent by the way he capered after the
troublesome molars were removed.
Not long after Jim's left cuspid.
which corresponds to the eye-tooth in
the human mouth, showed signs OF
decay in darkish spots. Again he was
conducted to the dental chair. This
time, more delicate operation had
to be undertaken, which the patient
bore with fortitude. An entire gold
crown was fitted, giving the appear
ance of a gold tooth. More than that,
three sparkling diamonds were set in
the polished surface. The largest is
near the gum and the smallest at the
point of the tooth. Much of the work
was done before the crown was ad-
justed, so the operation was probably
not as painful as might be imag-
ined, although Jim has never eX-
pressed himself on the subject. He
knows when his remarkable tooth is
to be exhibited. He cocks his head to
one side and relaXes his jaw SO it can
be easily seen.
Another of Jim's teeth, directly in
front, has become loosened, and it
will soon have to be treated by hav-
ing bridge to tighten it.

COMBINATION CROPS.
A Mixture of Fruit Growing md Mar.
ket Gardening That Possesses
Many Advantages.

I always like to make the best use
of every available foot of land. For
instance, have set new strawberry
plantation this spring (as / invariably
do every spring.. Most people set the
plants a foot apart in the rows. With
rows four feet apart this takes about
1000 plants to the acre. When / have
varieties that are good plant-maliers,
such as Splendid, Warfeld, Crescent,
Bubach, Haverland, and in fact most
others. 1 set the plants not less than
three feet apart in the rows, and often
as much as four feet apart. Even then,
as 1 look over the patch set in this
way last spring, find that have too
many plants in the row. Plants might
be set five feet apart and yet make a
good matted row. In the first place,
have this saving of plants, as / need
only 5000 plants to the acre instead
of 1000, like most other growers.
Then / have a better matted row, and
I also have a lot of space left for i'm
mediate use that ! can devote to cab
bages or other crops which will be
off by the time that the young run
ners will need the room. My COM
bination last year was strawberries
and cabbages, n cabbage-plant being
set midway between each two straw
berry-plants. To-day you cannot see
by the looks of the patch that the
berry-plants were set so wide apart,
or that any other crop was grown be-
tween them. This year have double
combination; namely, strawberries,
cabbages and onions. The ground is
laid off in rows 2S inches apart. Straw
berry-plants are set four feet apart
in every other row. Between the
strawberry-plants in the row l have
set Prizetaker and Gibraltar onion
plants, the latter to be pulled up for
bunch-onions as soon as large enough,
which will give to the strawberry
plants the whole row as soon as they
need it. The middle row, between the
strawberry rows, is planted with early
cabbages and cauliflowers. This ar
rangement will necessitate close culti-
walton and prompt attention to all
these crops right along.-Farm and
Fireside.

NOTES FOR THE SEASON.

Treat the rose slugs to dose of paris
green and water.
Stir the soil frequently among the
growing tomatoes, onions, etc.
busting in the early morning with
powdered white hellsbore is eifectual
treatment for the currant and goose
berry worm.
Shading celery plants, cabbage, ETC.,
for few days after transplanting is
good practice, especially if the wealth
er is warm and dry. Boards eight or
ten inches wide, supported over the
row on bricks, laid on edge, will answer
well.
Picking off the seed pods as soon as
the flowers fade saves the vital force of
the plant for another season. What is
probably better is to gather the flow
ers in their perfect condition and have
them in water in the house, or give
them to friends or to the sick.
The young gratis and buds in their
first seasons growth will need atten-
ton occasionally. The sprouts will
come out very freely from the stock
and will act as robbers if left alone.
They must be rubbed off from time to
time, being careful to do no injury to
the growing bud or graft.-National
Farmer.

At the present prices of cotton cloth
a set of good hay caps yard square
would sometimes pay for themselves in
a single season, when wet spell
catches the farmer with lot of hay
nearly cured enough for the barn. 1t is
both provoking and a sure loss to have
a good crop of what should have been
good hay converted into bedding or
something worse than that, after one
has worked two or three days to get
it fit for the barn. Yet we have often
seen this happen. A cap yard square
will cover a good-sized tumble of hay
OF shock of grain, as if it does not
reach the ground it is enough to have
the top well covered If the heap is prop
erly made. We have heard some say
that the hay would spoil by heating
under the cap, but we never have had
1t do so.-Prairie Farmer.

not be planted too closely together.
When evergfeens crowd each other the
crowded portion is quite sure to die
out, leaving open spaces for the wind to
blow through. In setting out wind
break, therefore, put the trees far
enough apart so that when they be-
come of average size they will form
compact screen. In setting out small
trees one is always in danger of setting
them too near together, whether they
be fruit trees or ornamentals. The ul-
innate size of the tree must always be
kept in mind when setting it out. 1t is
asserted by those who have had ex-
perience that a double row of ever
greens do not afford so good protec-
tion from the wind as single row that
has grown up into compact hedge,
since the double rows so shade some of
the trees that they do not grow we'll.
In transplanting evergreens it is i'm
portant to keep the roots from becom-
ing dry and to give plenty of moisture
after setting. When the roots of an
evergreen get thoroughly dried out its
chances for life are very small, indeed.

KNOWN BY THEIR TUNES.
A Boss Carpenters Queer Way OF
Discerning Capable
WorBmen.

Talking about the queer ways some peo-
pie have of sizing up a mans capabilities
for job, said resident of Paterson, n.
j., to Washington Star reporter the other
day, there recently died in my town a
boss carpenter named Hobart, who had one
question which he always asked of journey
men who applied to him for employment.
Ii the applicant was found to possess all
the other necessary qualifications Hobart
would ask
"What are your favorite tunes?"
why, what do you want to know that
fOr?"
"You whistle and sing some at your work,
don't you?"
ooh, yes"
"Well, what tunes do you generally whis-
tie or sing?"
"Oh, there's old Hundred and Aud
Lang Syne,' and Down by the Weeping
That's enough" the boss would exclaim.
"You won't do for me. These tunes are
too slow for me. Good-day."
On the contrary, if the applicant answered:
"Oh, | generally whistle Yankee Doodle,
or The Fishers Hornpipe,' or something of
that sort, the carpenter would say at once:
Il think you'll do! Take off your coat
If you want to and go to work"

EVERGREEN HEDGES.
Az nm Effective Windbrealx ana .
Renl Ornament to the Farm
They Have No Equal.

In planting evergreens for wind
break, it is well to remember that the
best results are obtained when the
trees are closely branched clear to the
ground, thus giving an upward curv-
ing surface that seems to turn the wind
upward, giving protection to building
even taller than the row of trees. This
idea is shown in the cut, the dotted line
showing the direction of the wind. II
the trees are not thick at their bases
the wind will not be thus detected up
ward and the chief value of the hedge
hs a windbreak is lost.
And right here it is to be remembered
that to secure an evergreen tree close
branched to the ground the trees must
