INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

North America has 2O9,55 miles Of
railway to Europe's total of 16s-a1a
miles.
American railways allow travellers
$50 pounds of luggage. France allows
only 90 pounds, and Germany and
Russia but IS pounds.

The Hawaiian Legislature is an in
teresting set of men to behold. Though
the majority have the rich, clear
brown skin of the native, with large,
lustrous black eyes, there are those
with the light skin and blue eyes of the
Anglo-Saxon. In two prominent MEM
bers already mentioned, the oriental
strain shows plainly. The brown
skins range from the deep chocolate
of the pure Hawaiian to the light
brown of the fractional Hawaiian,
and some are almost as light as their
white brethren beside them. The ma
tives are dignified and carry them
selves with grace pleasant to see. AS
1 watch them walking the streets in
earnest converse, they seem like
Solons indeed, with grave responsible
tiles on their shoulders. AS they as
cend the capitol steps wreathed in leis
Of flowers, the picturesqueness of it all
comes to us, and we feel that they are
quite in harmony with the bright sun
shine and the tropical surroundings.

wreath of brilliant flowers for a hat
band, and this is one of the charms
of the country to a newcomer.-Bos-

The Fly settled the aue.tion.

At recent meeting of the Entomo-
logical society in London the president
Mr.. G. II. Verrall, told an amusing
story TO prove that knowledge of
insects may even be useful in settling
questions in literary history. Com
mentators on the works of Robert
Louis Stevenson were trying in vain
to discover whether the'notes made by
him In certain book were written
before or after he took up his resi-
dence in Samoa. 1t happened that a
ny had been squeezed between the
pages, and when Mr.. Verrall saw It,
he instantly recognized it as belong
ing to a species peculiar to the Poly
nesian islands. That settled the ques-
tion.-Youth's Companion.

LOTS OF RAIN.

The first rain of the season occurred
on Saturday morning. 1t was accom-
panied by considerable thunder and
lightning. 1t continued to rain all day
Saturday and Sunday and streets have
been mass of slush and where the
water could not run off through the
sewers vast amounts have accumulated
and in same cases damage has fol-
lowed. The high school grounds have
been flooded and little dampness
has found its way into the basement.
The vacant lot, corner of Third and
Grant streets, was filled up to the brim,
and in fact all the low spots in the city
were converted into miniature lakes.
Monday and today have been damp and
drizzly and unless the weather turns cold
and dry, old Wisconse will soon be at a
flood stage and this with thick solid ice,
may cause a good deal of damage
Those who have interests along the
river might as well prepare for high
water, for there is very deep snow in
the forests of northern Wisconsin, which
continued warm weather alone will
melt and make high water in the river,
but the chances are that there will be
considerable rain.

practical joker and on that day, when
you find a pocket book, old hat or any

just pass it by. When using sugar see
that it does not contain about so per

The improvements that have been
under way in the National German
American Bank for some two weeks
past are now assuming an air of COM
pleteness. A new front has been placed
in the building, door installed in the
corner, the railing has been extended
to the front of the building, surround
ing the safe, which gives the employees
much more room to work in. A steel
ceiling is now being placed which after
a coat of paint has been applied to all
the fixtures and wood work, will add
materially to the looks of the bank.
