CUSTOMS MEN
NEED A LAUNCH

The customs department in Honolulu
needs launch for use in harbor work.
At present the only craft used by Uncle
Sans officials in their harbor work is
a small boat which is as apt to turn
over as it is to stay right side up, and
which will accommodate one man only,
comfortably
This boat has been nicknamed by
customs men and other waterfronters
as the Lean Pig" The boat does not
resemble the barn yard resident in any
particular, but it is said that it secur-
ed this name from member of the
force who once spent some time on an
island where wild pigs were plentiful,
and on seeing that the customs boat
was about as wide as small pigs
head in front, and narrower behind,
and about the same width in the mid
die, declared that it resembled one of
his former island friends This is a
rather roundabout way of giving it a
name, but the customs men say it is
about right.
Frequently officers have to journey
from the Oceanic wharf to the Railway
wharf, and from the Inter-Island
wharf to the Quarantine wharf by
boat, and this small craft is the only
means of conveyance. During. The
daytime the department has a boat
man, anr with an officer seat
ed in the stern, navigation for the
two Is difficult in smooth water, to say
nothing of the danger of trying to get
line and board sailing ship as it is
being towed into the harbor. At night
time there is no boatman, and the man
on duty has to paddle about as best
he can in the small cocklesheIl.
A gasoline launch would be the prop
er thing for the service, and would
! save the department considerable
work.

IR0QUOIS ON
SHORT CRUISE
Naval Vessel Made an Early Morn.
ing Start on a Little
Trip.

Captain Rodman of the U. S. S.
Iroquis surprised his friends and peo-
pie along the waterfront Friday by
starting on a mysterious cruise at a
few minutes past o'clock in the morn
ing. From the preparations made be-
fore the naval boat sailed one would
have thought that she was off on few
weeks voyage.
There were many inquiries at the
naval station during the day as to the
whereabouts of the steamer and the
object of her trip, but all gossip was
set at rest by her return shortly after
5 o'clock in the afternoon. She had
been on trip to the other side of the
island to measure the tides and secure
other information which is to be used
in the new sailing directions.
The trip gave about twenty recruits
their first taste of a trip on one of
Uncle Sans naval craft.

In the south seas dresses are made
with a Ratchet, Il club and n pot of

the need of a new gown, she goes and
chops down tree. When her husband
needs new suit, she chops down an

women are clad exactly alilIe-a plain
fold of cloth caught about the waist
and hanging loosely 10 the knee or
shin. The races inhabiting the islands
of the tropical Pacific are almost alone
in having no idea of the loom and the
various arts of the spinner and weaver.
This lack is undoubtedly due to the
natural provision of material which
renders n woven cloth unnecessary tc
this primitive people. The only fabric
used in that part of the world is
crude, tough paper made Of bast. The
tree from which the material is derived
is the paper mulberry, or BroussOnetia
papyrifera, which is grown in planta
lions under the sole charge of women
and is also found wild in all parts of
the islands. In archipelagoes SO high

The trees are planted closely to IL

from seed. In such n climate there is
no difficulty about getting things TO

better results follow the planting of
twigs from the sturdicr wild trees. In

About four feet of the trunk is waste

at the top is too soft. If the tree is

After their conversion to Christianity
they called it. Hcligh NOnat, or holy
month. in honor of the birth OF Christ
In later days in Germany it was called
Christ MOnat for the same reason.
Fires used to be lighted for warmth in
this month, and the want Of chimneys
used to cause n too obvious inconven-
fence. which led to its being called Flu
