drinker is that the master brewers

mory many an aching recollection Of
tramps undertaken along the footpaths
traced through the wilderness by the
natives who dwell therin One such
march stands out pre-eminent-a marCh
from the lower to sthe upper valley Of
the Palagen river, in northern Borneo.
On every side wastes of rank lalang
grass spread away to the spurs of the
foothills, the dry, crudely tinted blades
receiving, refracting and multiplying
the merciless heat. For ten miles at a
stretch there was no drop of water to
assuage our raging thirst; amid that
huddle of grass-clad hills no single tree
arose to give us the protection of even
a few square inches of shade, and at the
end of an unspeakable days travel it
was calculated that we had climber up
and down more than 5000 feet of verti-
cal heights, though never at any one
time had we reached an elevation of
more than 500 feet above the level of the
valley! A modern engineer would have
found little difficulty in worming his
way almost on the dead level amid
those countless hills, butp rimitiVe men
are content to eXpend upon the exertion
of climbing much of that energy which
were better employed in evading unne-
cessary ascents. And the Roman who,
in spite of all his atainments was still
at the beginning of things, was in this
respect not greatly the superior of the
savages of BOrneo. He drove his roads
straight be built them with solidity;
but he put the most elementary rules of
road making at defiance, and he set in
England an infamous xample.-London

sTEREOPTICoN LECTURE.

Many persons will remember a stere-
opticon lecture given a few months ago
at the Hawaiian Hotel by j. w.
Erwin, and the beauty of his pictures.
That gentleman is again in town on his
way to Manila and has very kindly
consented to lecture once more, on this
occasion at st. Clements parish house,
on the subject, "A Day In Our Nation
al Capital" Too much cannot be said
of Mr.. Erwin's skill as a lecturer, or
his good taste in the selection of his
views. The stereopticon to be used
was lately imported by Mr.. Rice. 1t
has electric light and in purity and
power, perhaps is not surpassed any
where. No doubt very great treat is
in store for those who will be present.
The lecture will take place this even
ing, at 8 o'clock, at st. Clements
parish house. Makiki street entrance

on Wilder avenue. Admission will be

ON HAWAII.

Purser w. X. Simerson of the Mauna
Loa reports that there was no rain
but rough seas along the HamaIua
coast. The Noeau was weatherbound
at Waipio. The seas are smooth and
there is much rain along the Kona and
Kau coasts. The schooner Serena
Thayer is still discharging at Puma
luu. On the outward trip there was a
heavy northerly swell along the Kona
coast and it was impossible to land
freight at Hookena, and Hoopuloa. AT
the latter place it was even impossible
TO land mail and passengers on the out
ward trip.

ROADS OF EMPIRE.
Fetters on Savage Land as in The
Roman Days.

They are still in their places, many
of them, those mighty rivets that the
Romans drove aforetime wherewith to
hold together the greatest empire that
the world had then seen. They are
wonderful things to look and tread upon
wonderful also if only as indications of
the logged strength of the race THAI
builded them, that plowed, straight as a
dart, across villainous country, to bring
up at last at the desired goal, defiant Of
obstacles; wonderful too, in the power
which they have to kindle even the
most sluggish Imagination. For men
who have themselves lived and toiled
upon the outskirts in the new raw lands
it is ever a fascinating task to picture
| BTitain-tOday the EYE, the soul of
Europe" the center of mighty cIvili-
cation, the heart of a vast empire-as
it was long ago when the Romans suf-
fered exile there with little gladness,
cursing the awful climate, yet finding
sOlace for all their privatiOns and their
griefs in the extraordinary interest of
the work which lay to their hands-just
as do the banished civil servants of our
own time. And the principal instru-
ment by means of which the Romans
sought to open up the jungles of Britain
to spread their influence, to render ubi-
quitous the tiny forces of the conquer
ers, was the same as that which we
employ for like ends today-roads, the
first letters which civilization imposes
upon the unrestricted freedom of a sa-
wage land.
And, indeed if the British domination
were to vanish as completely as that of
| the Romans has done, the roads which
we have driven through countless wild
| eTnesses across wastes of forests, up
and down the slopes of mountain range 8
which have stood as barriers between
man and man since the beginning of
things, would still remain to tell the
younger nations what manner of men
were these English who ruled so large
fragment of the earth. For just as
! the dominion which we exercise over
the subject peoples is wiser, more sub
| tie, more scientific than was that of the
Romans just as it was our object to
| circumVent, rather than to break ruth
! lessly through, the obstacles that stay
us, so the roads we build bear the inn
| print of keener intelligence, a deeper
knowledge and higher skill than ever
the Romans possessed. For with the
| OLD WOrld-COnquerers the primitive IN
stinct still held its force-the instinct
| that sends men who desire to make
their way from point to p int, 10 the top
of every hill and to the foot of every
decline that they chance upon On their
| journey
