STR. ENTERPRISE
FOR HILO TRADE

Hilo is to have a regular steamship
only" but the near future may see
| first-cass passenger boats on the run.
Hitherto Honolulu has been the only
port in the Hawaiian group that has
been so favored. but now the second
city in Importance among the islands
! is making a bid for recognition and will
not be denied.
Captain William Matson has purchas-
ed the American steamship Enterprise.
and in a few days she Will begin load
ing for Hilo, The intention is to keep
her permanently in this trade and add
other steamships to the line as the oc-
casion warrants.
| Back in the eighties a 200-ton vessel
was considered big for the Hilo trade,
and in 1887, when Captain Matson built
the brig Lurline, everybody laughed at
him and wondered where he would get
| freight enough to fill her. There was
no trouble about the freight question,
however, and in few years the Lur-
line was not big enough for the trade,
so the bark Annie Johnson was bought
and put on the run. The latter was
formerly the British bark Ada Iredale,
but while coming here from Australia
with a cargo of coal caught fire and
burned to the waters edge. She drifted
ashore on Tahiti and was rebuilt by
the late Andrew Crawford, and put I'M
der the American flag. Since coming
under the Matson flag she has never
met with a mishap.
The Hilo trade with San Francisco
| continued to grow and soon another
| vessel was required, so Captain MatSon
| bought the bark Santiago. Next he
purchased the ship Rhoderck Dhu and
not only changed her into bark but
also dropped the n from her first
! name, and she is now the Roderick
Dhu. About this time the Lurlne was
sold and soon afterward the four
masted ship Falls of Clyde was. bought
and changed into four masted bark
A month or so ago the ship Marion
Chilcott was added to the fleet and las

ASTERS.

Walled in with fire on either hand
1 walk the lonely wood-road thro';
The naples fame above my head,
And spaces whence the wind has shed
About my feet the living red,
Are filled with broken blue.
And crowding close along the way
The purple asters blossom free;
In full profusion far and wide,
They fill the path on every side.
In loose confusion multiplied
To endless harmony!
The autumn wood the aster knows,
The empty nest, the wind that grleVes'
The sunlight breaking thro' the SHADE,
The squirrel chattering overhead,
The timid rabbits lighter tread
Among the rustling leaves.
And still beside the shadowy glen
She holds the color of the skies;
Along the purpling wayside steep
She hangs her fringes passing deep,
And meadows drowned in happy sleep
Are Lit by starry eyes!

Heavy Rainfall.

1t is the greatest rainfall in the world
which pours down in torrents upon the
southern sides of the Khasi Hills, in
Assam. No wonder that their southern
slopes are fertile. The rains begins in
June, and last through August and Sep
tember. Israel Savory writes of these
rains in "a Sportswoman In India"
At Cherra Punji 523 inches of rain
fall annually. The yearly rainfall In
London is about two feet; at Cherra
Punji 1t is forty feet, or enough to float
the largest man-of-war; while In one
year sixty-seven feet of water once fell

rights to the full, and where Art play
ed a part. 1t was only to enhance tie
beauty Of the wonderfully picturesque
scenery. There were pretty rustic
bridges over the narrow chasms; there
were artistic stairways built down the
steep sides of the cliffs, and innumer-

shapes were placed in delightfully."- cool

of rock, oyerhanging deep ravines.
To one of the latter Eleanor always

ory of many hours Of happiness, and
to-day the young girls thoughts dwelt
lovingly upon them. She remembered
a thousand and one little incidents;
trivial events, Of no Importance at the
time, but now, delightful to look back
upon. The future without Hal Bur-
ton loomed up before her blankly. Her
eyes filed with tears; and there was a
pain in her heart which she found it
impossible to assuage.
1t was in vain that she tried to be-
come interested in the beauty Of the
scene before her. Down at the foot of
the steep banks, she saw the boats
passing up and down the sluggish
canal. Then she looked beyond, over
the pretty little wooded island, where
the roof Of the Pleasure Club house
could be seen between the trees, to the
many rocks in the river, around which
the waters of the Potomac eddied and
whirled increasingly, making picture
far too difficult for the brush of mortal
man.

Only Three Kinds In the Islands and

Only three kinds are generally recog-

smooth snake, the ringed snake and
the adder. Ireland, indeed, has always
claimed, by favor Of st. Patrick, to be
free from these reptiles, though last
autumn two specimens of the ringed
snake were actually found In County
wicklow. Probably they had been i'm

them to their doom.
OF the three British species, one, the

those of the latter. Indeed, it deserves
encouragement, since it has been
known to swallow an adder, though
mice and voles, water nevis, frogs and
toads, with the eggs and young of
birds, form its usual diet. 1t is the
largest of our snakes, for specimens a

~ was hard to resist, and every
opportunity which afforded itself found
her either Oh her way to that beauti-
full little park, or seated upon a rustic
bench in some secluded mood. Usually

her gaze was fixed upon the magical

beautiful than any cultivated park in
