An Eskimo Legend of the Raven.


The following fable of how the raven
became black is common to every Is
kimo household: Once upon time (all
their stories begin in this way the owl
and raven were fast friends. Indeed,
they were so intimate that they spent
most of their time together and had
things in common, like brother and sis
ter
One day the raven made q dress of
dapplc white and black for the owl,
and the latter not to be outdone in
generosity, made a pair of nice whale
bone boots and presented them to the
raven and, not content with this, went
to work upon white dress. When
the raven was asked to try it on, she
mcrrily ran and skipped about and re-
fused to sit still.
BE quiet little while" cried the
owl angrily. of you don't, ! will spill
the lamp over your
But the raven paid no attention to
the threat and continued to tease the
owl.
At last, in his veXation, the owl dash
ed the sooty oil in the lamp over the
white suit Of the raven and cried out.
"Qua qua"
From that day the unfortunate raven

How to Secure Crop of CnntaI0upcH

Competitors.

Cantaloupes reach their highest de-
yelopment on a deep, mellow, sandy
soil. 1t should be well prepared and
the seed be planted as soon as danger
of frost is over. In order to grow the
crop early. which is a very important
consideration from commercial stand
point, it is best to make two paintings,
one very early and the other some ten
days later. Should the first planting be
killed by frost or by insects, the Sec

Rotation OF Garden Crops.

~ As sometimes claimed that a garden
becomes too rich and that it produces
mn enormous growth of vine, with but
little seeds or fruit. The difficulty is
that the garden contains an excess of
some kind of plant food. Rotate the
crops or make a garden in a new loca-
ton, growing corn, potatoes and cab
bage successfully on the old location,
when 1t may be used as a garden plat
again. It is doubtful, however, if a gar
den can be too rich.

We have planted seed in two-inch
rose pots which were placed in hotbed
till the plants reached the proper size,
and when danger from frost was over
put them out in the fields. Plants start
ed in this way have produced ripe
melons one week earlier than seed
planted in the fields. Parts of old tin
cans may be used instead of pots. The
cans may be thrown into the fire and
the soldering which holds the ends and
seams be melted, and afterward the
cans be rolled out so as to form a
smooth cylinder. They do best if one
be placed inside the other. as at and

A POST NUPTlAL ODE.

We used to walk together in the twilight,
lie whispering tender words so sweet and low,
As down the green lanes when the dew was fall
ing,
And through the woodlands where the birds were
calling
We wandered in those hours so long ago.
But now no more we walk in pMpe cleaning
Adown the lanes my love and I--al me;
The time has passed for such romantic roaming
lie holds the baby while I'm getting tea.
We used to st--with lamp turned low-togotler
And talk of love and its divine effects
When nights were long and wintry was the
weather;
Far nober he than knight with knightly feather
And to him the lovelicst of my sex.
Now, oft when wintry winds howl round the ga.
bic,
Immersed in smoke, he pores DER gold and
stocks,
The fact ignored that just across the table
The loyeliest Of her sits darning socks.

counts, representing $4,000. Under

placed those which ve'given no sign

I blfee, blow" time. They arrived nc
the stile. They turned to look back
down the long and leafy avenue
through which they had come. 1t was
all irradiatcd with the long, level glow
of the sunset. A tiny black figure at
the far end, which seemed to be NOV
ing toward them, gave the scene Just
that little necessary note of human
contrast which made it perfect.
They said good night and the Clifton

shadows, where she was destined to

that love is, after all, the only higher
mathematics worth the attention OF
girl with soft hands and wavy hair.
Miss Brcmmil walked slowly back,
thinking placidy of their little TO-
nance. Suddenly she heard footsteps
at her side. Some one had come out
her. She turned hurriedly toward the
sound. A man was walking by her
with peculiarly gliding, springy step.
lie was very tall, with dark and rath-
or sinister face. He was dressed in
the uniform of the asylum, only with

broad band of yellow cloth.
She shrank back with sick terror

icy water. The man was one of the
Dangerous" cases, and she was alone
with him at nightfall, too far away to
scream for aid. She was paralyzed
with fear. Suddenly he turned on her
with a swift snarl, like a treacherOuS

and carried her to the nearest tree,
leaning her against it.

long time" he said. She observed he
had the voice and accents of gentle

from his pocket and made her fast to
the trunk of the fir tree with it.
He drew table knife from his pock-
ct. The avenue was now almost dark.
AS he came up to her Il sound of
singing came from among the trees,
foolish, hayward singing, in a broad
Worcestershire accent. They distin-
guished the words:
~ be the rightful king
OF England, merry England"
Early in the afternoon the rightfnl
king had been digging in a plantation
of larches. He had left his spade and
was now coming to fetch it.
Miss Bremmil heard the voice and
gave one cry for help. The knife was
dangerously near her. The rightfu

WHAT Departments WANT.
THEIR ESTIMATES FOR COMING
PERIOD.
Minister Young Requires the Biggest
Part of the Sack-Needs of the Other
Ministers.

The estimates of the Minister of In
terror. now being considered by the Ex-
ecutive, and to be embodied in bill
to the council of state, is more extern
sive and more complicated than those
of the other departments for the reason
that it has to deal with public improve
ments of all sizes and degrees of i'm
portance. All of Wednesdays meeting
of the Cabinet was taken up with es-
Inmates on improvements to streets OF
Honolulu. This is a very complex and
extensive subject. At the same time no
one can be found to say that 1t is not
of vast importance and pressing. The
bill for Honolulu street Improvements
is the most important item in the csti-
mate of this department
The Finance department is next in
it's demands for immediate money. Its
requirements are, of course, in the post
office and customs departments, with
a small amount for incidentals in the
main office. The merits of these esti-
mates have already been felt by the
community and the islands at large. In
fact, both the postoffice and customs
departments are working under the
greatest difficulties at the present time.
The Attorney Generals bill Will be
for the Board of Health. This will be
nearly $200,00 In it is included large
sum for the keep of lepers at the Molo-
kai settlement. Another item is $4,000
for the eXcavator business, which will
be greatly increased in volume upon the
arrival of the dozen new carts. A third
item, which has already been approved
but which will go to the Attorney Cen
erals estimate, is $4,000 for a garbage
crematory. The next large item in this
estimate will be for the police depart
ment. About half of the regular APP
preparation will be asked for. The only
other item is for incidentals.
Minister Mott-Smith wants money for
schools. One of the principal items is
| for the Beretania street building, which
cannot be finished within the financial
period. Pay for extra teachers it has
been necessary to employ in the past
two years. comes in for the next largest
| amount of money. Then the minister
! has an item for repairs, which must be
! granted, or several schools will have to
| close. Nothing is put in for pay of
teachers who were entitled to increase
| in salaries since last September, and
nothing for new schoolhouses. I'VE will
have to leave thas matters for the leg
| islature to handle, however important
| they are" says the minister. Aside
from incidentals, Mr.. Mott-Smith's re-
quirements are entirely in the depart
ment of education The pay of the
band and military is considered to bt
duplicated.
Unless the estimates for streets anC
roads exceed present estimates the eX
penses of the government for the mex
priod will be far less than in the past
In fact unless the legislature meets
before the coming autumn it is certain
that the usual amount of money will
not and can not be spent This may b.
false economy, though forced, however
for many worthy objects are apt to suf
fer.

PORTO RICO.
Its Case Compared With That of New
Mexico.

The difference between the treatment
given to New Mexico so years ago and
that now proposed for Porto Rico in
wolves an instructive comparison be-
tween the expansion of the slave oil
garchy," as it used to be called, and
the expansion of the successors of Lin
coin, Chase and Sumner, who led the
glorious old party of freedom. New
Mexico was as ignorant, as illiterate, as
Spanish in its population and civiliza-
ton as the Porto Rico of today. AS
the Yale Review says:
New Mexico, with a population no
better fitted for sef-government than
are the Porto Ricans, and five times
as far from st. Louis in time as Porto
Rico is from Charleston, was given a
much more liberal territorial organiza-
ton than that now proposed for the is
land. Yet no one has shown that the
more liberal plan has failed in New
Mexico, or that New Mexico has been
prematurely made a state"
The old slave oligarchy acknowledged
that the constitution extended over
New Mexico, gave it free trade with
the whole Union, and made no pretense
of establishing an imperial despotism
in the Congress of the United States.
But the present leaders of the party
of freedom, having no worse material
to work with in Porto Rico than the
slave oligarchy had in New Mexico, re-
fuse to the islanders the boon of free
| trade, and set up Congress as a des-
pOtism, unrestrained by the supreme
court or the constitution in it's gov
eminent of American territorial posses
sions. 1t is under Mckinley, and not
under Polk, that the principle of alb
! sOlutism gets a foothold in the republic

THE ARMY BILL.

The House committee on military af-
fairs has completed the army appro-
priation bill 1t carries Sill, 700, 1854,
against $S0,0S0, 104 in the bill for the
current year. The great seeming in
crease is accounted for by the fact that
the appropriations for the current fiscal
year were inadequate, and the urgent
deficiency bill recently passed carried
a large additional appropriation for the
army for the current year.
The bill includes an appropriation of
$3.50, $50 for cable and telegraph lines to
connect the military posts in Alaska
with headquarters at st. Michaels, and
$1,000 for military bridges and roads
in Alaska.
