Many WIN Spend Holiday In Excur-
sions Down the Line.
A number of the pOpulaCe seemed to
have made up their minds to celebrate
WashingtOn's birthday by taking a
trip down the line to Waialua and the
neighbOrhOOd. Cecil Brown takes down
a large party today, while another lit
tie clique of twenty three were
chagrined to find it impossible to make
arrangements to get a special train
"all for themselves" this afternoon.
The twenty three, under the director
shiO of SOOthard Hoffman will take
down with them the quintette in the
intention of winding up the evening by
a dance at the Haleiwa hotel. In de-
fault of the special train, some will
drive down to Waialua in the morning
others waiting until the regular after
noon train. A house party has been
arranged for by the Misses Macfarlane
at Ahuimanu this evening, the guests
returning tomorrow, and a social poi
supper is to be given at Punahou by
Mana Widemann. =
From the Hawaiian hotel several eX-
cursions have been arranged for drives
to the Pail and the livery stables pro-
claim all the available horses already
contracted for.

Novel System by which He Weighs Grair

Novel system by which He Weighs Grain
and Feed which He Sells.
Hugh Lee, sealer Of weights and
measures, few days ago, in his tour
of inspection, stumbled on TO one OF
the most remarkable business men in
Connecticut, d. f. Dickerman, who
owns the grlst mill on the WestielJ
road, formerly belonging to W. III
Baldwin, which he conducts in a very
successful manner. He Is blind, but he
has been at the mill so long that he
knows every. plank in the building, and
without assistance is able to grind the
grist of the farmers, as well as sell
grain and feed to others.
One of the most interesting portions
of his work is the weighing of the
grain and feed which he sells. He has
devised system whereby he can
weigh out any quantity with accuracy,
He has a number of little sticks, which
are cut just the length to mark off Oh
the arm of the scale the different
weights. BY selecting his ffty-poun0
stick, which he can pick out by feeling
its length, he places It against the end
Of the arm Of the scale, and then moves
the pendant up until it reaches the
other end of the stick,
He has sticks ranging from five to
fifty pounds, and IL he wanted to weigh
eighty pounds he would take his twen
ty-pound stick and place 1t at the op
posite end of the arm, which is gradu
ated for 100 pounds After setting the
scale to weigh what he wants he puts
his goods on the platform, and by put
ting his hand lightly over the arm is
able TO tell when the scales balance,
and thus he weighs accurately any
amount he desires.
All the different grains are kept in
separate bins. and he knows where to
find every article in his place. He
handily waits on the farmers who drive
up to the front door to buy feed fol
their stock. In operating the machin'
cry Of the mill he is just as methodical
rs clockwork, and any one watching
him would never dream that he could
not see.-New York Sun.

The Nocturnal Muskrat.

Although frequently seen swimming
rat is nocturnal in its habits, spending
the greater part of the day during the
summer in burrows in the banks of riv-
ers and ponds, each burrow consisting
OF chamber with numerous exits un-
der the surface Of the water. During
the winter it lives in a cone.shaped hut
or house built during the fall among
the waving flags in the marshes. These
houses are made Of roots, flags, grasses
and small pieces of water-soaked wood
all cemented together by sort of NOR
tar made of clay and mud. While
comparatively smooth and even on the
inside, they are rough on the outside,
and resemble somewhat the haycocks
on newly mown meadows. They are
located in water varying from two to
four feet in depth, and are built up to
the height of two or three feet above
the surface of the water, leaving room
for an air chamber within, which
forms the nest. Thus the houses are
from three to six feet in height, and
each one contains from four to nine
muskrats. Three or four channels or
"leads" are cut in different directions
from the centre, for ingress and egress,
the material thus displaced being used
in strengthening the foundations. Be-
low the water line the houses are of
bare mud inside, with a floor Of sticks
and grasses a few inches above the
water They are similar to beaver
lodges, but are far inferior in design,
workmanship and durability. Being
roughly constructed they are more
easily repaired or replaced when dam
aged or destroyed.

OF all the counties in the State,
Oneida seems to have developed most
interest in good roads and the best
methods of getting and maintaining
the same. Just how many Of Onelda's
inhabitants have attained TO this high
stage Of civilization we do not know,
but certainly enough Of them have
done SO to form a good roads league
which not only takes energetic part
in the practical work Of scientific high
way improvement, but also gives wide
distribution to well prepared "litera'
ture" on the subject. urging other
people to wake up in their own inter-
tests, to abandon the old and bar
barous plan Of wasting ineXpert labor
on bad roads, and, taking advantage
of the Higbie-Armstrong act, to pay
their taxes in money, secure the aid
offered by the State, and to become
rich and happy after the example of
Oneida County. Besides an elaborate
report on its own operations, the league
is now sending out the recommends
tons of the standing committee ap-
pointed at the last convention Of the
Highway Supervisors convention. This
is really able document, containing
many excellent suggestions, and well
calculated to convince all readers, as
it says, that the improvement Of our
State highways is not fad in the In
terest of the users of light vehicles, hut
n question of the greatest commercial
importance, affecting the transpOrta-
tlon Of the farm products Of the State,
and of as much importance to the In
the cheapening of transportation on
railroads controlled by corporations, OF
terests of the State of New York as
the cheapening of transportation on
the State canals. Especial attention is
deserved by the paragraphs devoted to
the rapidity with which narrow tires
on heavily loaded vehicles will destroy
even the best of roads, to the need OF
sign posts, and to the best ways OF
raising money for creating a system OF
highways worthy of the Empire State.

money spent intelligently on roads
brings in a larger return to a greater

other investment of public funds, and

be much more popular than 1t is.-New

England and France.

Two hundred years ago England had
the worst roads in the world, because
the peasantry living on the roads alone
were required to work them. In speak
ing of them, Macauley says, "That a
route connecting two great towns
which have a large and hourishing
trade with each other should be main
tanned at the cost of the rural popula-
tion scattered between them is mani
festly unjust. 1t was not until many
toll bars have been violently pulled
down, until the troops had in many
instances been forced to act against
the people and until much blood had
been shed that good system had been
introduced" Every class now con-
tributes to the maintenance Of the road
system ia England.
The French have probably the most
efficient laws and regulations in the
world for the building and repairing
of highways. The Minister of Public
Works has the general superintend-
ence of all roads and ways by land and
by water. There are four classes of
roads recognized by law-namely Q)
national, (2) department, 60 military
and a. cross roads. National roads are
built and kept up by the national treas
ury. Departmental roads are a charge
upon the departments through which
they pass, and part of the military
roads are kept up by the government
and a part by the departments through
which the roads pass.
The cross roads are kept up by the
eommunes, though sometimes in thin
ly populated regions these communes
receive assistance from the govern
ment, especially when these roads be-
come of Importance.
The national roads are paved like a
street, having an average width Of
fifty-two and one-half feet. The de-
partmental roads are thirty-nine feet
wide, and the military and cross roads
are Of variable width. Piles of broken
stone are placed at convnient distances,
and a man is constantly employed in
repairing each section.

Farmers Like OiI-Covered Roads.

The work Of oiling the roads Is TAX
ing right along with farmers and peo-
pie who come to Augusta from the
country. Nearly the whole of last
week was spent by the gang assigned
to this work and the apparatus in
treating the Wrightsboro road to this
new bath. The first experiment was
made several weeks ago by Judge Eve
at the stockade. but he thought the ex.
pertinent had not been given a proper
test when under shelter, and decided
as soon as practicable to get on the
road in open with the oil. The expert
ment at the stockade was such sue
cess that the Grand Jury recommended
the use of the oil on the roads, and the
Wrightsboro thoroughfare was select.

British VS.. Yankee Boys.

A stout Englishwoman said the other
day that in her opinion the American
climate is better for boys" than that
OF her native island.
'My first two boys were born in
Yorkshire" she said. "and my younger
three were born in Massachusetts and
Ohio Well. these three fellows are
way ahead of their British brothers.
They have more brains and they're
quicker to catch on to things"
Her husband agreed with her so far
as the intellectual superiority of his
American boys was concerned He
added, however, that the blessing was
not an unmixed one.
THE American boy has more cheek"
he said. "He talks too much. and thinks
little of hls father. My English boys,
when they were boys, used to look up
to their pop They thought me the
cleverest and bravest man on earth.
That isn't what my Yankee lads think
Of me. They obey me all right enough,
but there is something in their eye all
the time which makes me feel as IL
they set me down for foreign old
fool. They're too proud Of their coun-
try, and everything that isn't Ameri-
can seems small and funny to them."-

WORDS OF WISDOM.

To bury a truth is TO raise lie.
Every moral inheritance is entailed.
Regeneration does more than reform.
Moral exercise makes moral athletes.
Hard living does not make easy dy-
ing
All great work consists of small
deeds.
Blessings come in service as well as
after it.
Men are either moulders or are
moulded.
The heart makes a good engine, but
a poor rudder,
Growing and giving are the best evil
dences of living.
SpOnges gather easily, but they are
quickly wrung dry.
Yesterdays success may be the Sc
cret of to-day's failure.
1t is better to be saved in a storm
than drowned in a calm.
The edifice of character cannot be
built without an architect.
The first effect of knowledge is the
consciousness of ignorance. - Rams

1t is not often that science acknowl
edges herself at fault in an apparently
simple matter, but she frankly does so
in regard to the color and marking Of
a large proportion of birds eggs. A
reason there must be for their infinite
diversity-it cannot be an aesthetic
one, and we all can say with confidence
is that the ever-pervading instinct Of
distrust is probably exhibited in egg
shells as in more important things, and
the main idea in their scheme of color
alton has been the securing of safety
from many enemies by harmonizing
them with their surroundings. But it
