OLA WATER SUPPLY.

HILO, February 15.-The Herald
says; The stream Of water tapped by
the Olaa Sugar Co. has turned out to
be of greater volume than was expect
ed. The question of whether or no
taking water from that underground
stream has interfered with the supply
which usually goes into the Electric
Light Company's ditch is unsettled.
Since the last rain and until Sunday
night the lights have been particularly
bright but on Sunday and Monday
nights they were dim enough. On
Tuesday and Wednesday nights they
appeared bright again. Manager Sedge-
wick states that there is no leak in the
pipes and no evidence that water is be
ing used by others; he says, also, tha'
the flow of water in the upper WailuE1
is not as large as 1t should be after
the rainfall of a week ago.

Men Who "Build" Millinery.

Hat trimming has been believed to
be an accomplishment exclusively
possessed by women, but New York
City boasts of several men who make
a business of "building" millinery.
One of these innovators is house to
house milliner, and charges $4 day
for his services in trimming and reno
waiting hats. He is said to be espec-
tally clever in making over old mater
ial.
One of the best designers in a GER
tain Fifth avenue shop is a young
man, and another shop on the avenue
is owned and managed by man. He
is his own head trimmer, and in the
beginning of his career was the only
trimmer as we'll as the only salesman.
Patrons of these men milliners aver
that not only are their designs atrrac-
tive and their work satisfactory, but
their judgment as to the becomingness
of hat is extraordinarily good.

Old Army Mule Executed.

Through an order of the War De-
partment Jack, the old army mule,
known to every visitor at the army
post at Willets Point, L. l., for some
years, has been executed.
Jack was about thirty -fvo years old
and had good record. For many
years he was used in the service, and
was finally turned over to the engi.
neers who had charge of the work OF
removing the rocks in the He'll Gate
Channel. For three years Jack worked
underground, drawing in and out the
cars of stone and powder.
When He'll Gate was blown up he
was turned over to the post here, and
it was almost year before anybody
could drive him. Jack could not get
used to the light, and many q private
who thought he knew how to conquer
him came to grief after short trial.
At last the mule became accustomed
to daylight and performed his labor
faithfully until three years ago, when
age showed itself and he had to be
retired. The Government finally got
tired of feeding Jack, after waiting
three years for him to die a natural
death.
Jack was placed in charge of some
privates, who formed in line and
marched slowly to the beach. Once
there, Private Mason spoke few en-
couraging words and then led the
mule to a pile of wood. Placing q
rife to the animals head, Mason
pulled the trigger, and the career of
the mule was ended. The body fell
on the wood. A match was applied
and wood and jack burned together.

The reason for black and white be-
ing SO particularly in favor among
smart English women is unfortunately
only too evident. It really seems as
if everywhere among the noblest fam
lilies of the land death had been busy.
Nearly everyone has, if not q near
relative, at least SOME one who is
connected by ties, however slight, of
ff1apdship or blood, with one or more
of the brave men who are fighting in
South Africa. The extraordinary num-
Der of officers who have perished seems
to grow every day more appalling,
and the pride of England would seem
to be mingled with its mourning.
Viewed in rather more frivolous
light, however, there certainly is no
more becoming costume, either for
day or evening, than black or white.
1t is also the virtue of economy, for
it is o safe rule for the woman of small
income to follow that a black or white
gown can never be as easily remem-
bered as one Of some decided color.
A black gown can be worn over and
over again, and if you look we'll in it
it is admired. People don't think
whether they have seen it before or
not. If you wear pink gown twice,
however, it is stamped upon the
memory of most people who have
seen it. "What a pretty gown, dear.
You wore it last month at Mrs.
Browns dance, didn't you?" That is
the sort of thing that is always sure
to greet costume that has distinct
note of color in it. No, black and
white are always safe. Parisians
have recognized the fact, and now
glishwomen are in this point alone
agreeing with them. Chicago Times

"Household affairs. Fudge! Clara,
take my advice, the sooner you get
over attending to household affairs the
better for yourself. That's the way
women are made slaves of. Now, I
never attended to household duties in
my life; and, what's more. I never
shall. Well, I'm sorry, Clara; Fanny
and will have to go without you"
Mr.. Austin, his face livid with pas.
sion, rose from the table and left the
room without word.
"By Jove, Belief said Alfred,
you've put your foot in it this time. I"
81 know it, and, take my word for
it, before many hours I'll receive my
congo"
Belle was right. Before dinner she
received summons from Mr.. Austin
in his cozy little library.
"Belle," said the old gentleman, as
that young lady entered the room,
"be seated, my dear. There has been
something in my mind since you came
here which think it is my duty to tell
you"
81 am ready to hear what you have
to say, SIR
"Well, my dear. think it is right
that you should know that Alfred is in
love with Fanny Ives. Now, my dear,
don't feel bad about it, and you know
Alfred is not to blame; he has beea
Fanny's companion from childhood. I"
"What! Alfred in love with that
milk -and-water blonde. Humphl
There's no accounting for some peo-
ple's taste. Well, I don't care. You
know there's as good fish in the co
as ever was caught but what will
father say? l know he'll blame me;
and you know I'm not to blame, Mr..
Austin"
"Now, my dear, don't let that
trouble you. I'll write letter to
your father and tell him Alfred is to
blame"
So Belle 9tlrtod for New York next
day, leaving happy hearts behind her,
especially Mr.. Austin, who was con-
graduating himself for having hit
upon such good plan to get rid of
that outrageous girl.
About three months after Mr.. Aus
tin and family were invited to attend
the marriage of Miss Belle Wilbur.
Heaven help the man that takes
that girl for better or for worse; with
out a doubt it will be for worse" 4"
groaned Mr.. Austin.
But before the year was at an end
Belle, accompanied by her husband,
paid another visit to Mr.. Austin's.
my dear, did you ever know Of
marriage making such q change in
anyone?" said Mr.. Austin to Fanny,
who was now Alfred's wife, the day
after Bellies arrival. "She makes an
exemplary wife, can tell you"
OF course, Fanny didn't tell him
how he had been victimized by Bellies
strategy.

The fad of employing only dis
tinctive flower for decoration by fash
ionable women is growing in favor.
1t was, perhaps, suggested by Mrs.
Astor. who always uses the American
Beauty rose for all her entertain
ments. 1t was said last summer that
several of the florists approached Mrs.
Astor with view of persuading her
to change this flower, which they con-
slider, after few seasons, little old
fashioned, for some other blossom
more 10 mode. Mrs. Astor's first
dinner was notable for the same pro-
fuse use of the American Beauty.
Last winter, at the reception she gave
in her Fifth Averue house, the prin-
cipal decorations were American
Beauty roses in silver and other
vases, with background of palms.
Mrs. Astor introduced the rose some
years ago, and is very much attached
to it. Mrs. Burke Roche and Mrs.
Stuyvesant Fish employed old fash
ioned flowers, and among these the
;Black-eyed Susan" Mrs. Burke
Roche had tables arranged with these
homely but striking flowers at her
famous piazza dinner, and Mrs. Fish
had the rocks in front of her house
planted with these blossoms. .-Har-

When Two Are Made One.

Funmakers are needed at some we'd
ding breakfasts. A fearful mother Of

white satin, each one containing a

one as he takes his box of wedding
cake, and is, therefore, prepare to
contribute to the shower of rice when

queer little shoes and china orange
blossoms make dainty table favors.
