COLONY WATER SUPPLY.

One Of the early troubles Of the Wa
hiawa colonists was the securing of
proper water supply for domestic use.
Two strong streams run through the
tract, but the land lease of the colo
nists carried no right to these beyond
household supply. and to flood water,
and there was the drawback that this
water had to be hauled or carried from
the deep bed of the streams to the
agement, by an amIcabIe agreement
with the Waialua plantation, this con-
dition has been so changed that the
colonists not only have abundant water
purposes and for the purpose of irri-
cation as well. but have been made
participants in one of the greatest
water systems on the island of Oahu,
each land owner all the life-giving
fluid that he can properly need ut a
rate that would make tho farmer of
Southern California open his eyes in
astonishment.
The formation of the Wahiawa Water
Company was in the nature of an in
spiration, one of those industrial in
spirations whose working out builds
up prosperous communities. Under the.
terms OF the plan the colonists own
one-third OF the stock of the water
company. the Waialua Plantation one
third, and one-third was reserved for
treasury stock. to be sold for the money
needed to develop the water supply.
This stock was placed with the Waia-
lua people, with the result that the
development of the water proceeded,
until now there is a ditch running into
the mountains with a carrying capacity
from its intake, three and one-quarter
miles back in the hills, of 1000 miners
inches Of water. This water is brought
down across the colony lands by
series OF tunnels. making a monument

where a fall through an immense
pipe gives an enormous horsepower for
the generation of electricity to be used
industrially in various ways, and the
water is then carried on down to the

LANDS IN RESERVE FOR MILL
TARY PURPOSES.

The success achieved at Wahiawa has
had the result of calling attention to
the fact that there is, in the Immediate
neighborhood of the colony, great
tract of land reserved for military pur-
poses, but upon which as much can be
done, if it can be thrown open for set
Element, as has been done by the col
onists. Concerning this vast body of
land, Mr.. Clark has this to say:
There is only one considerable area
of government land located on this
island desirable for settlement upon
which the leases made by the monarchy
will expire anyway soon, or which can
be made available for settlement by
purchase of lease or by subleasing, the
greater portion of the arabic land be-
ing owned in large tracts descended to
members of the royal family or their
assigns, and under long leases to

site of the great reservoir that is to
be the chief feature of the water sys-
tenn of the colony. This reservoir, tax
ing in the beds of two streams, is Gre
ated by the erection of dam at a
point a little below their junction.
The dam, to be built in the form of an
arch, and of double strength because
of its thickness, will be 500 feet long
at the top, and 112 feet high, with
depth of water on it's upper side of so
feet. The water will back up in the
southern stream for distance of Az
miles, and in the northern of 31s miles,
with an average mean depth of water
of thirty feet. The lake thus formed
will not only become one of the show
places Of the Islands, but will add to
the fertility of the surrounding soil,
and 1t is estimated that the seepage
from 1t viii materially increase the
supply OF artesian water for the plan
tation wells in the lowIands. There
will be tremendous fall at the. over
flow of the dam, moreover, for the
generation of electric power Altogeth-
er, it is estimated that 400 horsepower
will be easily generated.
In addition to all this a site has. been
set aside for the building of a reservoir
on the upper end of the colony tract,
where the surplus storm water will
thus be made available for land use.
This surplus water was also one of the
supplies open to the colonists when
they took up the land, the problem be-
ing to store and save it. BY the pres
ent arrangement it will be stored in
the most economical fashion.
1t is the hope of the more advanced
thought among the colonists that from
this surplus of water there may be
generated electricity sufficient to oper-
ate a cheap road that will carry the
products of the colonists' farms profit |
ably to profitable market.
If. the pineapples of Wahiawa alone !
could be laid down in San Francisco
in attractive packages, they would at
once create a demand that would con-
sumo the possible product of all the !
land in the Islands available for the |
cultivation of this product for years to !,
come.

Webster's Arrangement Of Russia.

Daniel Webster, in an impassioned
address fifty years ago, when Russia
was about to demand of Turkey the
surrender Of KoSsuth and his follow
ers for execution, gave utterance to
the following burning words: 81 see
that the emperor OF Russia demands
of Turkey that the noble KoSsuth and
his companions shall be given up, to
be dealt with at pleasure. And see
that this demand is made in derision
of the established law of nations. Gen.
tlemen. there is something on earth
greater than arbitrary or despotic
power. The lightning has its power,
and the earthquake has its power,
but there is something among men
more capable of shaking despotic
thrones than lightning, whirlwind or
earthquake, and that is, the excited
and aroused indignation of the whole
civilized world. Gentlemen, the emper.
or of Russia holds himself to be bound
ty the law Of nations, from the fact
that he negotiates with civilized ma
tions, and that be forms alliances and
treaties with them. He processes, in
fact, to live In a civilized age, and to
govern an enlightened nation. say
that if, under these circumstances, be
shall perpetrate so great a violation
of national law as to seize these Hum
garians and to execute them, he will
stand as a criminal and malefactor In
the view of the public law Of the
world. The whole world will be the
tribunal to try him, and he must ap-
pear before it and hold up his hand,
and plead, and abide its judgment. .
Websterss speech seems applicable to
Russia today.

Free silver has lost scholarly ad-
vocate in the person of DR.. E. Benja-
min Andrews the chancellor Of the
University Of Nebraska, who in an ad-
dress before his class In ethics, practi.
cally announced that he no longer en-
tertained the views he once held con-
corning free coinage. This change in
his views had been, he said, gradual
in its development. but his opinion is
now fixed and definite. Chancellor
Andrews says he had been led by the
arguments Of public men, and particu-
larry by a celebrated geologist Of Eu-
rope, who had, after much study and
investigation announced that the sup
ply OF gold was being exhausted and
the worlds mines would soon cease to
yield sufficient quantity Of that
metal. This made It necessary that
there be another standard of value.
Time has proven to the mind. of the
chancellor. however, that the output
Of gold has greatly increased and the
supply now seems inexhaustible.

Lyman G. Egbert and son, of New
Carlisle, were in South Bend last Sat
urday and left for their home in the
afternoon just before the storm came
up, says the South Bend Times.
They got as far as the culvert near
the Rockstroh farm northwest OF
the city, when the culvert was
struck by lightning as they were
crossing it and one of the horses they
were driving was knocked down and
both shoes torn from the hind feet.
The animal Immediately scrambled to
its feet and the party went on their
way rejoicing over their marvellous
escape and with only a few moments
delay, which was utilized In hunting
for the shoes, one of which was found,
but the other had entirely disap-
peared.
1t was indeed remarkable escape
for both men and horses and one
they'd not care to take chances with
again.

People who fatter themselves that
the astonishing individual effort of

achievements. He compiled fifty-vol-
umes, taking the best of the great
authors. He wrote grammar in FIVE
languages. He preached in almost
every known language. He wrote
four volumes O. church history. He
wrote an English dictionary. He
gave 233 volumes from his own pen in
addition. He edited 100 more vol
umes. He was inspiring to students.
His sermons are clear, solid, compact,
scriptural, aimed at mark. He was
the first university extension among
men. All this in addition to his tre-
mendous work Of organizaJion-itself
an achievement involving an execu-
tive power and grasp Of affairs quite
equal to anything developed among
the nineteenth and twentieth century

Bee Stings Cure Rheumatism.

DR.. Perc, of Marburg, in an address
before brilliant gathering of physi-
clans the other day, announced his
discovery of the important fact that
the sting of bee is sure cure for
rheumatism of the joints and muscles.
In cases where the patient is suffering
severely DR.. Perc says the sting has
no effect at first, and must be re-
peated frequently. Finally, when the
sting can be felt and the place that is
stung begins to swell the rheumatism
disappears.
In describing his method DR.. Perc
says he generally allows his patients
to be stung by only few bees at first
and then gradually increases the num-
Der. 1t is his custom to have the
sufferer stung about seventy times at
sitting, and in one case-that of a
woman who was severely afflicted-he
says it was necessary to have his bees
sting her 1852 times before cure
was effected.
The public will doubtless be glad to
hear OF this simple and pleasing
method of lighting rheumatism. Who
would not gladly be stung 1852 times
in order to get rid of an ache in some
joint? Busy people might put in
their Sunday afternoons being stung,
and those who hate to call in doctors
may with little practice perhaps
train bees of their own to sting as
directed. The sting cure makes it
important that no large family should
be without hive of bees. In emer-
gencies, of course, one of the children
might be sent to the neighbours to
borrow a few pints of bees, but it will
always be best to have ones own bees
where they can be pressed into service
at a moments notice.-Record Her

1t turns out that the Indianapolis
chambermaid who has won considera-
BILE fame and not few dollars by her
reputed refusal to make up Washing
tons bed, actually performed that ser
vice and because she was discharged
from the hotel for some other cause
she spread the report that it was on
account of her refusal to make up the
ringers" bed she was given her
walking papers.
The landlord says he heard nothing
about this reason until she had left
bis employ and he says he knows that
she made up this bed the same as

Domestic Service by the Hour.

The Women IS Education association
of Boston has determined to solve the
servant question. 1t will train young
girls for month or six weeks ia a
house in the most fashionable district
and will then hire them out by the
hour.
Domestic service by the hour will be
a picturesque pastime for the maids
and dismal failure for the mistress.
1t may be justly feared that many of
the projectors OF this rosy scheme are
unfamiliar with the conditions of
housekeeping. To have the maid-by-
the-hour drop everything on the min
ute and walk out with her stipend
will demoralize more homes than such
system will help.
Homework is not only "never done"
but possesses continuity and coher-
ency which will not tolerate hourly
dislocation. If one cook spent an
hour getting the oven "het," as they
say in New England, and the next
cook-by-the-hour thought it "het'"
too hot what would become of the

advance in wages that has taken place
during the last few years, there is a

less unrest prevails everywhere. All
