BILE, in letters from practical farmers
who are now living on lands in Hawaii.
They are being asked also to furnish
information of what they think are the
prospects for the future development of
the Islands as to diversified forms of
agriculture. Diversified agriculture is
largely in the experimental stage. and
the settlers here will have to take their
chances, just as they did in the United
States in the upbuilding of the Great
West
This office is terribly deficient in
matters of information regarding agri-
culture, for which, however, neither
nor my predecessor in office is respon-
sible. The information of the bureau of
agriculture is also limited, because of
the limited means to pay for expert
ments. AS a matter of fact, agriculture
is not branch of the Land Depart
ment, and we have only complete infor-
nation in regard to the lands of the
islands I am sending the applicants

A Most Fatal Gift

Would be the power of foreseeing
events. This would destroy hope. A
knowledge of the future would unmake
happiness. There are, of course, some
things about the future we do know.
If, for instance, lack of energy, am
bition and loss of appetite shows itself
we know it will be followed by serious
complaints if not checked. Often Liver
and Kidney trouble follow quickly. In
any event, Electric Bitters will restore

Burial Alive.

Though it is possible that cases of
burial of living persons may still occur,
fortunately they are more rare than in
former times. Even the doctors orders
against interment were not always
obeyed, for the Gentleman's Magazine
of 1851 relates the case of Richard
Carson of Hay, Herefordshire, Eng
land, who was supposed to have died,
but a doctor declared that Carson still
lived and ordered that he was not to be
buried. His relatives paid no heed to
the injunction, and the body was com
mitted to the grave next day. A per-
son passing through the churchyard
heard a noise and prevailed on the
clerk to open the grave, where the
supposed corpse was found in pro
fuse sweat and bleeding at the nose.
Unfortunately the man was beyond re-
coyery and soon died.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being Civ
en- to the subject. 1t is easier and bet
ter to prevent than to cure. 1t has
been fully demonstrated that pneu-
monia, one of the most dangerous dis
eases that medical men have to contend
with, can be prevented by the use of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneu-
monia always results from cold or
from an attack of influenza grip, and
it has been observed that this remedy
counteracts any tendency of these dis
eases toward pneumonia. This has
been fully proven in many thousands
of cases in which this remedy has been
used during the great prevalence of
colds and grip in recent years, and can
be relied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from a slight
cold when no danger is apprehended
until it is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in breath
ing and pains in the chest, then it is
announced that the patient has pneu-
monia. Be ON the safe side and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon
as the cold is contracted. 1t always

The Difference in Their Ways of Go'
 ing to Bed.
 When the husband says that he is go. ing to bed, he just goes to bed; that's what he does-just goes to bed. He may yawn once or twice as a reason and ar apology, but that's all he says about it.
 He goes upstairs winding his watch and you hear a chair pulled out on which to hang his coat, and presently you hear a dull thud or two as his shoes are dropped on the floor Then he takes Q turn or two in his stocking feet, with heavy mufied steps like a shambling bear, the while he removes his tie and collar and hangs them on the gas bracket. If there is a light already beside the dresser. then If he can, after his collar is of. get his head down well he looks critically at the top of 1t in the glass and thinks he win speak to the barber about that thin spot, Then there is a rattle of stiff cuffs as a shirt is flung o~er chair, a slight shuffling noise, and then snore.
 When the wife says she is going to bed she doesn't do it at all; that's what she doesn't-she does nothing of the kind. She remarks that she is tired and must go to bed so as to get up early, and so she begins to commence to prepare to get ready and she goes out to the kitchen ana turns up the lBIlI anu tAHC1 O BCh- eraI look around and into the refrigera- tor, and feels under 1t to see fl.

 Then she opens the back door to see if a milk ticket is out, and jumps when a stray cat scurries down the steps and scratchingly scales the fence. She then tries the windows and opens the cellar door and calls the dog to see if he Is in. and jumps when he scampers amlably up the steps out of the darkness, and she gives him a bone to take back with him.
 Next she locks all the lower windows. and puts the table silver in basket and straightens up the sideboard, and puts away scattered papers and books. and sits down to read something that has caught her eye, and goes on reading any thing that turns up for anywhere from thirty minutes to an hour. in the mean time unfastening her. collar and waist.
 Then she Is surprised to hear the clock strike Il, and she takes up the basket of silver and turns out the light; then peers around in the darkness with her ears, to locate the watch she laid down, and raises the front shades and in the dim hall locks the front door. and feels in her husbands overcoat pocket to see if he really did mail her letter and then climbs the dark stairs hastily.

She sniffa out in the hall for wood smoke, and looks under the bed to see if-the silver is stfIi there, and. after turning out the light and raising the window. she looks ont and thinks what a pretty night 1t is and wonders what keeps the people across the way up so late, and listens to the watchman's comforting club on the cor ner and to the growing roosters sending their midnight challenges and answers across the quiet town, and then she tries the door for the third time and slides into bed and recalls to mind any little thing she can think of to worry over un-' til she finally dozes ofE.
