1 HAWAIIAN M, Al FISHERMEN.
Hands and Teeth Play a Part Tn
 Capturing fhe Octopus.

Hands and Teeth Flny fnrt m
 Capturing the Octopus.
 The native fisherman of Hawaii, while nn adept with the hook and line, does not scorn to use hls hands to cap ture ns prey when occasion arises. The bouito is the fish most generally caught with hook and line. and as the book used is of mother Of pearl, made from the shell of a mollusk now quite rare, which glistens with an rides Sence similar to the shimmer from the scales of the smaller kinds of fish on which the bonito lives, no bait is need cd. The barb of these hooks is of bone, and two tufts Of hogs bristles attached at right angles to the barbed end keep the Inner side up, so that the hook lies dat on the surface of the sea. When q likely fishing ground has been reached, the fisherman, stand ing up in the canoe. casts out his line violently, so that the hook falls with q slap on the water and attracts the attention of the fish. The line and hook are then drawn rapidly toward the boat, as though 1t were a spoon, and the bonlto. taking the hook to be a small Ash, rises to it immediately. It is fortunate for the fisherman that he has 10 waste no time in batting his hook. for this method of casting fright ems rhe school, and the fish disappear within ten or fifteen minutes.
 An ingenious plan by which very large fish are caught is by planting a long pole on the shore in such a posi- ton as to cause 1t to lean decidedly to- ward the water. On the top of this bell is arranged so that it can swing clear Of the top of the pole. A block and fall are also attached to the pole close to the top and long line, with baited hook at the end. is run through the block and allowed to float out to sea, the land end being tied in slip knot to the bottom of the pole. As soon as a fish Is hooked its struggles cause the bell to riug, whereupon the fisher man runs to the pole, loosens the slip knot and plays the fish until he has drowned it. when lt Is hauled ashore.
 In fishing for octopus the native dives to the bottom and with a stick pokes around In the small holes in which the octopus lives When he touches one, 1t selzes the stick and allows him to draw it out of the hole. When he reaches the surface, thc native grabs 1t with his hands and b.;ys into the head, thus killing the animal

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

Do not let rubbish of any kind lie un- derneath the trees It harbors vcrmin.
 A yard or lawn always looks barren without some ornamental trees and shrubs.
 As an apple or pear orchard will last a lifetime particular care must be talk en in the selection of varieties.
 If entrants and gooseberries are prun- ed in tree form, they will bear larger and finer fruit Prune eyerv year.
 To have a good garden the land must be kept rich by liberal use of manure. During the winter is the best time to apply it.
 Nearly all house plants will be bene- fited by Eavlng the blossoms that ap- pear immediately after planting in pots pruned on. Let the plant get well es- tabllshed before Towering.
 The rose is a hearty feeder and will therefore bear annual manuring, but only well routed and thoroughly fined manure should be used. taking care to work 1t well into the soil early in the winter.
