Hebrew Feast Days.
The festival Of the Christian Church and
one of the Hebrew feast days seldom fall
on the same day of the month. but this was
the case on Christmas day of last year,
when Christmas celebrated the nativity of
Christ and the Jews observed the feast Of
light. or feast of dedication, or feast of
chanukah.
The feast of dedication is one of the half
festivals of the Hebraic Church, which fell
on the 25th day of the Jewish month Kislez,
or otherwise spelled Chisleu. The Hebrew
least is IN commemoration of the rededication
OF the temple in Jerusalem, after the vic
tary of the Jews over the Syrians under
Judas Maccabeus The Jewish people, hav-
ing some time before this fallen under the
yoke of the Syrians, were misused in many
ways and forbidden to worship after their
own form, but commanded to worship the
Syrian god statues. The leaders of the
people revolted, with Judas MaccabeuS at
their head, and, although only few in num-
bers when compared with their enemies
overcame their foes. The temple, which
had been terribly desecrated, was cleansed
and reilluminated with the ever-burning
lights. which were known as perpetual
lights; the altar was rebuilt and feast
held.
At this time the feast is observed not SO
much as a synagogfcal feast although
there are special services. 1t is especially
home feast, and one of the distinctive
features of this celebration is that on the
first night one candle is lighted, on the
ing night being marked by an additional
candle until eight are lighted. The cOinci-
dence of the Christian and Hebrew festivals
occurs only once in every nineteen years.

WONDERS OF THE YUKON
Great River Sixty Miles Wide at One
Point.
From the Chicago Record Herald.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The Yukon river has some peculiarities
Of its own that are interesting The size of
that great river may be Inexperienced
by some people. We used to be taught In
our biographies that the Missouri to the
sea" is the longest river in the world. be
ing 1900 miles in length; that the Amazon
is the widest being forty miles across at
it's mouth.
Those of us who have been out of school
for some years never heard much about
the Yukon. Nevertheless, that great ruffian
of a river Is within a few miles of the
length of the Missouri-to-the-s and at
point 1,2o0 miles above its mouth is sixty
miles across.
We have heard much, also. about the
difficulties of Its navigation in the summer
time. The two big companies in the early
days, even as late as two years ago used
Indian pilots, changing every 200 or 300
miles, because the Indians knew the chan
mel, and no one Indian knew it for more
than the distance IN the vicinity of his own
native haunts. "a III,
These pilots were paid as high as $50
day for their services. and often a steamer
was obliged to spend the night at the bank
to allow the pilote to go home to see his
family. They tried white men, finally cut
of sheer desperation. and they lost their
boats or sent them aground for the sea-
son. The white men were invariably deep
sea sailors who We're pressed into service
The fact was that the Indians knew abso-
lutely no more about the river channel
than one who had never seen it. excepting
where 1t happened to be lodging about the
low. wooded islands. For the Yukon never
has kept to one channel for fifty miles for
a month at time. What the Indians did
know was how to tell deep water when
they saw 1T. They could tell by the .riffies''
almost to an inch how deep given spot
was. and, having excellent eyesight. they
could see a long way ahead
The crafty natives slorded it over boat
owners and captains for long time, how
ever. and many of them grew rich AS soon
as Missouri and Columbia river pilots were
put aboard the day of the Indian was past

Don'ts for Girl Ushers.
w York Commercial Advertiser.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser
Another victory of advancing woman
over man as he crouches in his last line of
defense is announced. Girls have been in
stalled as ushers in a New York theater.
Thus is new door forced through the wall
of prejudice. Here is a counter to the re-
cent blow of the British house of lords in
deciding that no woman in Great Britain
can be allowed to eat the number of Gin
ners necessary to secure an admission to
the bar. Another entry has been made on
the already long list of empIoyments In
America open to women and further step
taken away from what Charlotte PerlkinG

its first solemnizatior having been ordered
by Pope Teesphorus. This was about the
year 13S. for in that year Pope Telesphorus
died. At first Christmas was what Is

Is now, and. owing to Observation-Disclosures,

evening of ravlshing enjoyment to ears
attuned to silvery sweetness, i'm her
concert at the Hawaiian Opera House
last evening The program was strk-
ingly different from that Of Tuesday
evening and yet as harmonious i'm its

English ballads, and led up through
quite catholic list of composers. in
Guiding several selections from grand

Mile Dolores has a voice of wonder
full purity, and perfect mastery of all
its capabilities. Its clearness and puri-
ty is the quality that first strikes the
hearer and often for the moment seems
to create the impression that there is
not corresponding volume and breadth
to the wonderful voice, until some Won
derful burst of melody, an organ-like
fulness. surprises into admiration anew
for it's glorious qualities,

IN THE PHILIPPINES.

The lloilo Times, published in Panay,
P. l., contained in one of it's February
issues a report of a speech by Cover
nor Taft in answer to a petition by the
Iloilo chamber of commerce; and from
that address it is learned, first, that
the Philippine government intends to
repay to the United States government
out of the insular revenues the 100000
600 which the United States paid to
Spain for the islands, second that one
third of the special appropriation of
$S,OOO,OOO by Congress, to relieve dis
tress in the Philippines, is to be used
for university in Manila. Both these
statements are surprising. Why
should one-third of that emergency
fund to relieve want be used on a uni
versity; and why should the impover-
ished Filtpinos be taxed to pay the sum
the United States paid Spain for SOW
ereignty whose ,transference, without
their consent, the Filipinos contested to

FOOD SUPPLY.

Miss Beard in her report of the Kona
Orphanage for the month of April, has
the following regarding the food sup
ply for the institutions
Queries from interested friends con-
corning the food supply of the institu
ton gives me the pleasure of making
statement concerning the same. OF the
forty acres of land, twenty of which are
in coffee and twelve in sugar, four are
laid out into garden patches where
sweet potatoes, carrots, beans, radiShes,
onions, beets, turnips, squashes, let
tuce, egg plant, parsley, tomatoes, cab
bage and bananas are raised in sutii-
cient abundance to literally supply the
tables. The schools cows furnish the
milk, which means also homemade
butter and cheese. Enough hens are
raised 10 furnish the eggs and a few
hives of bees insure honey at regular
intervals. Papaias and guavas yield
abundantly of their luscious fruit the
year round and in their season bread
fruit, mangOes, alligator pears, rose
apples and ponaS are obtainable in
quantities that make us marvel at the
wealth of Nature. Thus from our own
soil and the efforts of the children, who
are the gardeners, does the food supply
largely come. The foods temized in the
report are staples, as -four, rice, sugar,
salt, etc, so really do not tell the best
part of the story. With fresh vegeta-
bles, fruits, honey, milk butter and
eggs we are able to live cheaply and
well and without sickness in our
midst -
