and aid the post office employees as
much as possible, the request is made
to get the registered matter in early.

bought and stamps and stamped en-
velopes may be secured at the general
delivery window until midnight. each

Disguises Of Nature.
From the Royal Magazine.

From the Royal Magazine.
By decree Of nature, one-half the world
flourishes at the expense of the other half.
The sparrow chases the butterfly. but the
hawk chases the sparrow. For the problem
of life is twofold. It Is not enough merely
to eat; 1t Is necessary to avoid being eaten.
Yet nature detests killing for killings sake.
Massacre forms no part Of her great plan.
So we see that every creature is provided
with some more or less effective quality
Of defense, by means of which the attacks
of ITS natural enemies are rendered less fire.
quent or less deadly.
Thus the antelope, by means of its SUI
perior speed. at times escapes from the lion.
The armadillo rolled In its wondrous coat
of mail, lies secure among a score Of hum
cry, gnawing foes. while the white hare,
scarcely distinguishable from the snow on
which It crouches, Is often overlooked by
his foe, the fox. But of all creatures none
have received more ample protection than
the insects. Some OF them possess sttnga.
Others bite and few pun out clouds Of
poisonous vapor to stupefy or blind their
pursuers Again, there are insects clothed
in Uncomfortable armor. insects covered with
sharp spines and prickles and others whose
means Of defense conaast In nothing but .
likeness to the objects which snzround them.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE. Nd. February 5. 1903.
The congregation Of the Rockville NJ. E.
Church, at largely-attended meeting held
last evening. definitely decided to continue
the church as a member of the Rockville
circuit, which includes the churches at
Rockville, Potomac, Goshen and Emory. It
was at first proposed to withdraw from the
circuit in order that the Rockville church
might have a pastor of its own who would
devote to 1T his entire time. It was found,
however, that such a plan would involve a
greater financial outlay than the congrega-
ton could afford at this time, and it was
unanimously voted to continue the present
arrangement until the financial condition of
the church justifies the change.
The Rockville water works are for the
first time since their institution several
years ago In condition satisfactory to the
residents Of the town. A second artesian
we'll was recently sunk and up-to-date gas
oline pumping machinery installed Similar
machinery has also been installed for the
operation of the old we'll. This, it Is be-
leved insures an amply supply of abso-
lutely pure water for many years. Only
one well will be used at a time. the other
to be kept in working order so that it can
be used in case of an emergency.
At meeting Of the town council last
evening Mr.. William F. Disney of Balti-
more county was appointed engineer of the
water works at an annual salary of $500.
He succeeds Mr.. Lee Hutchinson, who has
held the position for several years.

The poor old Befleisle Is to be battered

HAWAII'S RICE FIELDS
CULTURE OF THE WHITE GRAIN
MoNoPoLIzED BY CHINESE.
Grown in Flooded Water-water Buff
falo Beast Of the Ploughs-
Cost Of Irrigation.


From the New York Tribune.
The announcement that Hawaii IL to
throw open its half million acres of I'M
occupied public lands to settlers from the
United States calls attention TO the agri-
cultural resources of the island. Almost
anything will grow there. Sugar is the
staple. Rice growing has only recently been
made profitable, but the methods used are
OF the crudest, and In this branch, as In
all others, except sugar. perhaps, there is
plenty of room for the introduction of up
to-date. scientific methods. which would
produce splendid results, it is thought.
Two features of rice growing as practised
in the Hawaiian Islands are most interest
Ing to tourists. One is the water buffalo or
carabao, which drags rude ploughs through
the soggy or half-fiooded fields. The other
is the Chinese growers themselves and the
remarkable degree of patience, industry
and economy which they display in the
tedious work.
When the Chinese began to lease Ha-
waiian rice fields they sent back to the
Land of the Dragon for the water buffalo.
An ugiier beast of burden could hardly be
imagined, but when trained there is none
more faithful. The Chinese put yokes
across the buffaloes necks and fasten them
to rude homemade ploughs. Then they
are set adrft, If such a use of the term

of the time, and plods back and forth.
keeping straight course across the field
with marvellous accuracy.

Chinese Work Hard.

No white man could work as the Chinese
do. Fourteen and fifteen hours a day and
the most tiresome sort of labor Is their
portion. They are content to live on three
meager meals or rice. a never-changing
diet, the very monotony of which would
kill a white person. Two crops a year
harvested. and an idea of the profit in the
business practised by these thrifty yell
low men can be gathered when it is stated
that they expect to pay all expenses for a
year from the proceeds of the first crop;
thus leaving the second crop for profit.
The Chinese have made the rice crops
second only to sugar IN the islands, produc-
ing annually about 1900, 600 pounds, con-
siderable part of which is consumed To-
cally. The rice fields, which are mainly in
regions easily accessible to tourists, form
a never-failing source of interest to them
from their novelty and beauty. On the
island of Kauai, the Hanapepe and Hama
lei valleys, which are famed the world over
for their superb beauty, owe considerable
share of this to the many rice fields with
which they are dotted Every available
foot of ground on the islands is now used in
growing this cereal, and as two crops
year are harvested, and planting is being
done at all times. nearly all stages of
growth of the crop can frequently be seen
in one region. The cultivation of rice is
confined principally to the islands Of Oahu
and Kauai, where the Chinese monopoliZe
