on every part With this view the fortress is approached by series of zig gag trenches, so pointed that they can not be enfiladed by any guns in the fortress. In order to accommodate the forces necessary to protect the workers, the trenches are cut laterally for great length, partly encircling the place and affording safe room for a large force. These are the parallels. and are general. ly three in number. When 1t is decided where to place parallel. a strong body of men is sent to the spot at nightfall, and while the attention of the garrison is distracted by false alarms. the work is begun. Half the men lie down in front of the proposed parallel under arms, while the other half, bearing each a pick and shovel and two gallons, set to work to dig the trench. By daylight sufficient cover will have been formed to conceal the workers and the protect ing troops. During the day the trench is widened sufficiently to allow wagons and troops with guns to pass along. At night again other parties will be set to work at the zigzags of approach from the depots out of range to the first trench. These zigzags are usually made not less than 1000 yards in length. The first parallel being completed, breastworks are made for the protection of cavalry, and batteries are erected in the most suitable points. Then the zig gag business begins again, and thus the second parallel is reached. After the second parallel is reached the angles of the zigzags become more acute to pre- vent enfilading. The third parallel is at the foot of the glacis (the parapet of the covered way extended in a long slope to meet the natural surface of the ground, so that every part of it shall be swept by the fire of the ramparts), and it is from here that the storming parties make their attack. Here, too, the miners tunnel and lay their mines. Our illustration of gallery gives an idea of the labor that has to be expended over the trench-work before any assault can be made.
 Hirelings, men fighting simply be- cause they must, never could have ac- complished what these sturdy, patient, indefatigable brown soldiers did; whilst their fellows turned the attention of the Russians on a false scent. they la- bored away with might and main daily to advance the work of cutting off the stronghold from communication with the outside world. The end all the world knows.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL .12, 1905.

One hundred and twenty young wo- men drew farming homesteadS in the recent opening of lands in South Da- kota and matrimonial rush that re sembles the gold rush to California has set in. Men from all parts of the country are offering themselves to the fortunate young women, the majority of them being college graduates from the east, which goes to show that a college education does not unfit one for matrimony.

Identifying the Dead,

The Russian method of identifying soldiers killed in battle is by means of little metal ilaons-sacred picture inn ages-found on the bodies. On the back of each of these ikons is stamped the wearer's name, regiment and commits sion. Every nation labels its soldiers in one way or another, with view to just such eventualities. Our own Tommies, when on active service, are served with small oblong identification cards, which are supposed to be sewn inside the tunics.

 tor nothing would convey to the mind so practically the extent of the spadewOrk that had to be done We should see a perfect network of deep clefts called galleries. which were used either for communication with the trenches or parallels. or for mining purposes. Let us look for one moment at the method pursued by force laying siege to a great fortress The first step is. of course, to invest the place-that is to say. to surround it and cut it oil from communication with the outside world The surrounding force takes up its po- sition just out of the range of the ene- my's guns. and the object before them is to get over the intervening ground and into the works without being torn to pieces by the eoacentxated Ire which the defenders' guns eaa lring to bear

June q, 1905.
Board of Commissioners of Agriculture

Gentlemen: 1 have the honor to sub

Forestry for the past two weeks.
During the second half of this fort
night 1 have visited the land of Honu
aula. North Kona, Hawaii, in company
with Mr.. S. Kanakanui of the Govern
ment Survey Office, to determine the
boundaries of the proposed forest re-
serve in the belt of large Koa timber
upon that land. Negotiations with the
present Iessees of HOnuaula are now in

to the reservation of this part of the
land as forest reserve. I returned to
Honolulu by the Mauna Loa, arriving
yesterday morning.
During the fortnight seed collecting
has gone on and a number of small
pieces of work in the nursery have been
completed with the assistance of the
additional laborers.

WHY THEY ARE HAPPY
TWO NOTABLE RECOVERIES

DEBILITY.

My strength had dwindled So that L
with any snap but was tired and list
less all the time said Mr.. Goldstein.
Il went to bed completely used up
by my days work, and when 1 got up
in the morning 1 didn't feel rested a
bit. I had awful headaches too, and my
kidneys got out of order and caused
me to have severe pains in the back.
AT one time I became so feeble that I
could not stir from bed for three
weeks"
Mr.. Goldstein is a young man and
had then but recently established a.
home of his own. His anxieties were
increased by the fact that his wife was
says:
For two years 1 had been i'll most
of the time. Sometimes 1 was confined
to bed for weeks in succession under a
physicians care. 1 had headaches, kid
ney trouble, pain about the heart and
many more uncomfortable symptoms
connected with that weakness to which
my sex is peculiarly subject"
Trouble had invaded this household
and settled in it in just the years that
ought to be the very happiest. Ply
sicians could not tell them how to get
rid of it.
Il was utterly discouraged" said Mr..
Goldstein. Then the urgency of some
friends led me to try a blood and nerve
remedy which was said to be wonder
fully successful. Within a month there
were unmistakable signs of improve
ment in my condition, and within a
year 1 was completely well. Through
the use of DR.. Williams Pink Pills I
have now as good health as L ever had
in my life"
Mrs. Gofdstein adds: THE wonderful
effect that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
had in the case of my husband led me
to try them and they helped me even
more quickly than they did him. One
box made me decidedly better and a
few months treat cured me-
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the best
tonic and regulator, they make pure,
rich blood and when there is general
weakness and disorder that is what the
system needs Mr. and Mrs. II. Gold

ton, Mass. DR.. Williams Pink Pills are

which will extend from the lava flow

last details for final action are now in
the hands of the survey department.
KOOLAU, MAUI RESERVE.
Mr.. Hosrper also reported the same
condition of affairs in connection with
the Koolau, Maui Reserve. He expect
ed to be able to lay both propositions
before the Board, for final action, at

Mr.. Hosmer reported that he had

ers along the line of forest back of the
Pearl City Basin to and including the

Mr. Hosmer reported that the dead
and unnecessary trees in the Tantalus
Forest were being removed and sold
as fire wood, the receipts going to the
Government as a realization. He also
the Coney heirs were thinking of cut
ting the trees off their portion OF the
land in the Tantalus Forest, as it was
now being heavily taxed and no in
come was coming therefrom. He
thought that it would be great pity to
have these trees cut as they had been
produced at great expense to the Gov
eminent; added greatly to the beauty
of the suburbs of the city and, he be-
lieved, had a material effect upon the
climate of that portion of the city. He
stated that he had discussed the matter
with Mr.. Pratt and that the latter was
in favor of obtaining the title of the
land for the purpose of preserving it in
it's present condition and had attempted
Coney heirs for certain other lands, but
so far no agreement had been arrived
at. The Board was strongly of opinion
that Mr.. Pratt's suggestion should be
carried out, but not having jurisdiction
in the matter did not take any action.
NUUANU FOREST.

We're reported to be doing better than
for a long time past. The question was
raised by Mr.. Carter as to whether or
not it would be advisable to try and
eradicate the vine which is killing trees

that several years ago over one thous-
and dollars had been spent in such an

Kills Deer with Fist,

"A few weeks ago, just before l
left for Denver, we had venison for
dinner which our cook killed with his
