Why the MOros Have No Boards

The same condition prevails among the
Borneo savages. The people have nat
llrally but little hair on their faces but
what they have they pull out with nip
pers or tweezers. 1 met Moros in the
Sulus who carried silver nippers with
them and pinched out every stray hair as
soon as it appeared Among some Rorneo
tribes the eyebrows are shaved and the
eyelashes plucked out. Others of the saw
ages rub quick lime into the skin to de-
stroy the vitality of the follicles. The
eyebrows and eyelashes are plucked out
at the age of =lfteen and the lack of hair
is the sign Of manhood or womanhood-

ROWS OF TREES
BEING PLANTED
Drillshed Grounds Will be Sur
rounded by Poincianas and
Covered With Grass.

| In a few days a row of Silver Oak
trees will line the Hotel street side OF
the army quartermaster department
reservation opposite the Capitol. Cap
tain Williamson, the United States
Army Quartermaster, has an eye to
| the artistic, and intends to beautify
the barren grounds in front of the old
barracks now used as the quartermas-
ter's storehouse, and the drill shed, at
present used by the Hawaiian Nation
al Guard as it's headquarters.
Since the curbing was set back to its
present line along Hotel street it has
been apparent to Captain Williamson
that it is only matter of time when
the two big monkee-pod trees which
stand opposite the drill shed must
be cut down. They are standing in the
street just a few inches beyond the
curb line, and therefore obstruct traf-
fic to a small extent. The spreading
branches give much shade. and this
will be greatly missed when they fall.
In, order to replace these trees, and, at
the same time beautify the street,
Captain Williamson had a conference
with Wray Taylor last Saturday, the
result of which was that the Commits
sioner of Agriculture gladly consented
to set out a row of Silver Oaks.
The row will be II feet back from the
curb and the trees planted 20 feet
apart The trees will average about
three feet in height. Captain William
son chose Silver Oaks in order to give
a uniform aspect to that portion of
Hotel street, as there is a row of the
same trees within the Capitol grounds,
extending from Richards street to
Likelike street. These were planted by
King Kalakaua and were intended as
a windbreak for the shrubbery in the
pose in that respect, and are now tow
ering giants, and greatly admired
What pleased King Kalakaua also
pleased the army Quartermaster.
On the Miller street side Captain
Williamson has decided to plant a row
of poincianas. There will be six or sew

THE SPIDER WEB.-Every student
and observer in nature, says the Chica.

remains in the center of the web that
it may feel the slightest motion caused
by any luckless insect which has been
caught in the sticky substance. Now,
IL n will look closely at the spider he
Will see that it hangs head downward
One day, by suddenly frightening a
spider, a man learned the secret of it's
constant position upside down in the
web. 1t dropped head down, and
stopped when about half way to the
ground, and swung slowly to and fro
from the end of a long thread of web.
Ii it had been head up in the web it
would have been broken. After the
spider had swung at the end of its web
for some time it thought all danger
had passed, and turned and climbed up
again. 1t rolled the web thread up
with its fore.legs and then threw it to
the ground. This was evidently done
to keep it from becoming tangled with
any OF the web proper, or with grass
or weeds nearby. Any one who has
touched a web knows that il Is sticky
and hard TO ravel when once tangled.
Certainly this bit of instinct is not alb
sent from the SPIDERS brain.

has adjourned, the President buckles
on his armour and starts out to FIGHT
the trusts.
"It is all a big bluff. AS thew saw
in poker parlance, it is a four flush,
and L do not believe that any one will
be deceived by it.
"And what is the remedy the Presi-
dent suggests Why, il is publicity !.
Publicity is nothing more than moral
suesion, which would have about as
much effect upon a trust as it would
have upon a hIghwayman. L never
knew OF moral suasion causing a rob-
Der to desist from 'holding up his
victim, and L cannot see where il
would be any more effective with the
trusts. What is needed is the strong
arm OF the law in both cases.

the run upon this great question of
trusts, and we propose to keep them
running and see that they do not hide
behind any such fimsy shelter as the
