RATHER MOIST.

The Kind of Weather They Have Sometimes in Molokai. It is Il a. m, and blowing, with rain, thunder and lighting. Waters are flowing down hillsides, forming fresh- cts as every little dry ravine in ordi- nary times is now transformed into a deep and running stream It has been raining and stormy weather ever since the night of the 9th.
 On the night of the 10th at about il o'clock regular cloudburst over this side of Molokai did considerable damage. The wind was very strong, accompanied by thunder, lightning and hail. Two houses were blown down at Puohoku, near J. F. Browns ranch, and the inmates of each, as it hap oened, ran all the way down into the valley of Halawa in their sleeping clothes and wet to the skin.
 At Wailua the water surrounded the house in which Mrs. Paaluhi, widow of the Rev. Paaluhi, was sleeping with her little ones. The children were awakened by the water which had entered the house and invaded their sleeping place. Their cries aroused the mother and other children. They had barely left the house when it fell, the underpinning having been under mined by the waters, which had formed in two streams running with considerable force on each side of the house.
 The larger portion of w. R. Castles most valuable kalo lands are not only submerged, but the stream has been defiected onto it and some of the finest kalo patches are now under the bed of the stream or washed to sea-
 The Rev. Kaai's large and valuable kalo patches also suffered severely.
 Large quantities of fish from the best and most valuable fish ponds were washed onto the stone walls and banks in their endeavors to avoid the cold, muddy freshet water. The loss to the owners of the ponds was considerable.
 The waters came down with such force and suddenness that for some time it was question whether it would not wash away the cottage on knoll on the banks of the Kaluaaha stream, occupied by M. K. Nakuina and family. They were asleep at the time but were aroused by the knopkings and outcries of a Japanese servant who had waded knee-deep to arouse his master. Debris was washed down and against the front veranda fortunately closed by lattice doors) to the depth of three feet and mud foot thick had to be shovel

ER ENon ARMY REFORM.

In France, as in some other countries, they are trying to bring about some re- form in the army. The chief points of the latest French Army Reform bill- as outlined in a special report of M. Berteaux head of a special legislative committee--are a two years military service, without any kind of exemption, and the utilization in times of peace of the men who are suffering from minor physical defects by their inclusion in the auxiliary services. As this service will require a slight increase in the number of n-commissioned officers re-enlisted, and of corporals and lance corporals, it is proposed to encourage enlistments and re-enlistments by guaranteeing civil employment after the completion of certain number of years service. M. Berteaux says that in the event of the bill being adopted the reserves, which will be the main defence of the country, will be compos- ed of homogeneous elements which have received during the same period and manner the same training and mill itary education. An important innova- ton in the new bill is that when the reserves are called out for their periods of training the breadwinners of fam fly are to be allowed an indemnity of one franc per day and twenty-five cen times for every child. With regard to the extra financial burden which the new law will impose upon the country, M. Berteaux estimates that during the first few years it will amount to be- tween 1S,OOO,OoO and 14.0oOOOO francs for the State, and about 4,OO0,0O0 francs for the Communes,

4 PHIL4DELPLIIA FIR E-4K.

Philadelphia is a queer city, and so it is not surprising that one more queer thing has been done there. This queer thing is the removal of the mirrors in one of the big elevators in the south east corner of the city hall. This ele- yator serves to carry most of the wit nesses to the criminal and Magistrates courts on the sixth floor. Among its passengers were large number of women. When the other four elevators in that corner were empty and waiting for passengers, groups of women would stand for five minutes for the big mirror car to arrive. The operator would pro test. The car could creak and groan under it's heavy load, but the women never forsook it. When they arrived at their desired floor. the operator would cali out Sixth or ''All the way down" hut the women would be busily engag- ed gazing into the glass fixing their frizzes or their bonnets. Sometimes it took three and four minutes to empty the car if there were women on board.
 Philadelphia has been charged with being slow. but if it can't wait three or four minutes for it's beautiful women to brink, it must be much more rapid than considerate. And if Philadelphia thinks that beautiful and properly prinked women are not worth putting and keep ing mirrors in elevators for it doesn't think straight

Richard H. Taylor, of the United States Secret Service, has received a naval medal of honor. He was highly commended by President Roosevelt for the courage and zeal he displayed in performance of his duty as a quarter master on the United States Steamship Nipsic, in the great Samoan hurricane of 1SS9 Only two other men were rec omended as deserving of medals of hon. or for their conduct in this disaster, one a Japanese steward, who rescued an of ficer swept overheard from the United States steamship Vandalia. The rec ommendation for Taylor's medal was for a long time lost in the intricacies of the Navy department. During the last western trip of President Roosevelt, MT. Moody, secretary of the navy, who was one of the party, learned that the secret service man constantly attendns the president had been in the naN a, service, and that the medal of honor awarded him had never been delivered. President Roosevelt took an interest in the case, and delivered the medal to Taylor himself.

Apropos of the retirement of Senator Stewart, of Nevada. at the close of his present term in March, 1905, the story tellers at the capitol say this is the best anecdote about him: Years ago col league, exasperated by some action of the late Senator Plumb, of Kansas, came to Stewart and said: Don't you think that Plumb is the meanest, most contenptible, most ornery, most useless and altogether cussedest man in the senate?' 'No, sir!" thundered Stewart. q do not I am committed to John sherman on all those propositions"

The late James McNeil Whistler had a French poodle of which he was ex- travagantly fond. This poodle was seized with an affection of the throat and Whistler had the audacity to send for the great throat specialist Mac kenzie. Sir Morrell, when he saw that he had been called in to treat dog, didn't like it much, it was plain. But he said nothing. He prescribed, pocket ed a big fee. and drove away. The next day he sent post haste for Whist Ter. And Whistler, thinking he was summoned on some matter connected with his beloved dog, dropped his work and rushed like the wind to Macken- zies. On his arrival Sir Morrell said gravely: How do you do, MT. Whist. Ter? wanted to see you about having my front door painted.

Colorado is rejoicing over the fact that she can produce rubber. Within the last few months experiments with a certain species of sage brush that grows wild over an immense mountain ous area of the Rocky Mountain com naonwealth have proved that rubber of fine quality can be produced from the shrub. Several companies have been organized for the purpose of de- veloping the new industry, and the hitherto despised weed will now be turned to practical use. Special ma- chinery has been invented for the man. ufacture of the rubber, the construction of which will form still another indus try for Colorado.
