ABOUT SANDWICH ISLANDS.
There Are No Regular steamer
Among Them and No Regular
Landings.

Charles Harding, of Boston, who
was for some time connected with
the Makaweeli plantation, on the is
land of Kauoi, Sandwich islands, re-
ports the Washington Times, says:
There are great many errors COM
mon among people in relation to the
Sandwich islands. In the first place
people are in the habit of referring
to the whole group under the name
of Hawaii. which is, of course, wrong.
Hawaii Is the largest island, il is
true, but not the most important.
It's principal town, Hilo. is small
one, while the largest city of the
islands, Honolulu, is on Oahu, quite
o small island. On each of the is
lands is q precipitous mountain, at
the base of which is n level plain OF
alluvial soil. 1t Is on the plains that
the crops are raised, though eulti-
vation Is carried sometimes quite far
up the mountain slopes. As a rule .
Ane road runs along the edge Of the
beach, making q complete circle Of
the island. and by this means com-
municAtion between villages IN quite
easy.
ION the windward side of the noun
tain, during the entire year, there IL
. great deal of rain and because OF
the excessive amount of moisture it
u difficult to be sure of crops. On
The lseward side Il Is continually dry
and crops could not be raised were
II not for irrigation. There are
plenty of rivers, and the planters
preserve the water in reservoirs for
use when needed. The leeward side
plantations are considered the best,
for crops are always sure, and are
In no danger of being spoiled by the
rain.
Communication between the Is.
lands Is by no means easy, though
during the time when the sugar crop
y moving there are plenty of boats
going back aud forth. There are nc
regular steamers and no regular
landing places. II 10 always difficult
! TO get OF in little boat or to get
landed. In many places the shore
line IL like cliff rising out of the
water, and no landing Is possible

the same time exciting and danger
Gus. but methods of communication
ere improving and many plantation
owners are making contracts for q
regular boat service once or twice q
week. Wireless telegraphy has been
tested between the islands, but the
results were not satisfactory"

FORGOT HIS LINES.
rae Amateur Comedian spesiea sAs
Eject of His Little Speech
OF Appreciatton,

"I'll never forget one Of my earli-
est appearances on the stage" said q
solemn-faced comedian who now en-
joys n solid reputation as q panacea
distributor for the blues, relates tho
Detroit Free Press. "It was in an
amateur performance in q small town
where l had lived for some time and
was well known, and where the popu-
lace is sometimes inclined to treat
the crude efforts of aspiring Thespi-
ans with considerable levity. I was
to do a speciality between acts-a

ice music and all that sort of thing
and had rehearsed that thing so
Thoroughly that believed I was q

THE afternoon before the perform
ance the stage manager, who was a
professional, quietly informed me of
a little plot on the part of some Of
my unappreciative friends. Although
il was the wrong season for cabbages,
/ they had hunted high and low for
one Of those one-time popular tokens
of approval, and finally they went so
far as to have one shipped from o
neighboring town.
Now" said the stage manager, con-
fdentially. "I'll tell you how to get
back at 'em In nice way. When the
garden truck has been passed over
the footlights just smile pleasantly,
as though 10 were the finest bouquet
ever presented to q prima donna, and
say:
I Ladies' and gentlemen: I thank
you very much for this kind evidence
Of your appreciation, and my only re-
gret 10 that you didn't also send the

then made my little set speech, but
this is the way said IL:
"Ladies and Gentlemen: ! thank
you very much for this evidence Of
your appreciation. and my only re-
gret is that you didn't also send the
cabbage"
This was Of course received by the
audience with q most solemn silence,
but there was a crash Of glass back
of the scenes. The stage manager
who had been waiting near the wings
to note the result of the little re-
tort on the audience, had fallen down.

A Corean Prison.

In an entertaining article upon
Corea-the country which Russia COW
cts and which Japan must have-Rev.
Robert E. Speer has this to say upon
the prisons OF that half-barbarous
land: The gate was wide open and the
courtyard was full of prisoners, and
the surrounding buildings were old
and tottering. Iaskedthe chief, whom
one of the two or three listless attend
ants called for us, why the prisoners
did not run away. "Oh," he replied,
"they would be caught and beaten
again and kept longer. Now they will
get out soon" But as looked at them
/ saw they did not run because they
could not. The life was beaten out
of them. The keepers brought the
heavy red cord with brass hook ut
the end and trussed up . man with Il
to show how the beating was done. and
then brought us the stih rods with
which the victims were pounded over
the shins and thighs until the beaten
spots were simply masses Of fostering
rottenness. There was room, black,
foul aud leprous. in which the men
were fastened In the stocks. The Black

"There is" says a Kansas authority,
zone sure barometer of financial con-
ditions in Kansas. Whenever the peo-
pie feel rich they get up schemes to
bore in the ground after oil or gas or
other valuable productions. This pro-
pensity has given Kansas some very
valuable coal, gas, oil and salt fields,
and it is to be encouraged, not de-
plored. To-day something like 80
towns are boring holes in the ground"
