GOING To MAINLAND
BY UNUSUAL WAYS

The delays in the sailing of steamers,
and the disarrangements of the sched-
ules, due for the most part to the San
Francisco disaster, has created some
thing of a change in the routes of
travel between the islands and the
mainland. All this is only temporary.
of course. but it is notable. c. NJ.
Cooke, president of the Bank of Ha-
wall. leaves on the Kinau today to take
the Enterprise at HIo for the main
iand-and that puts Hilo on the map.
The Nebraskan, which sails from
Kahului, also has booked a number Of
mainland passengers from Honolulu,
and these will have to go to the Maui
port to get their steamer. And that
puts Kahului on the map.
These things will all arrange them
selves. presently. but if these vessels
did not carry the mails and the passen-
gers who are in hurry to go, it would
be a long time before passengers or
letters could reach mainland points
from here. The Siberia has been delay
ed at Yokohama, and there will be no
boat on the Oceanic line from the colo
MES until the Sonoma comes back.

Depth Of Ocean Cables

Pessttlistic prophets sometimes sound
sage and logical, but the. unreasoning
optimist WHO sees better things despite
argument otitstrips them.
In the days of Stephensor's early ex-
periments it was predicted that speed
of more than twelve miles an hour by
rail would be impracticable, if for no
other reason than that the human system
would not withstand travelling at a
higher rate of speed.
In the early days of steamboats, 1t was
declared that transatlantic steatfi naviga-
ton would be impossible, mainly because
of the inability to provide room aboard
ship for the coal that would be necessary
for the voyage. The prophet had scarcely
done speaking when the news arrived
that ship had just finished trip across
the Atlantic Under steatn.
So with transatlantic cables. Some
promulgated the belief that they could
never be laid because the density of the
water below certain depth would be so
great that the cable would not sink to
the bottom Of the ocean. All the wise
folk regardless, however, the cable
promptly descended to the ocean bed at
a depth of 16,4o4 feet, and within the
last year cable was sunk in the Pacific
ocean in the vicinity Of the Lukin Islands
at a depth of 26.246 feet

A Wife's Reproach.

Admiral Caps, in an address to a
temperance society, told how drink had
once caused the downfall of brave
soldier. In the course of the sad story
he said:
Sometimes after debauch the man
would be repentant, humble He would
promise his wife to do better. But, alas,
the years taught her the barrenness of
all such promises.
"And one night, when he was getting
to be an old mana prematurely old
man, thin-limbed, stoop-shouldered with
red-rimmed eyes-he said to his wife,
sadly:
"You're a clever woman, Jenny-a
courageous, active, good woman. You
should have married better man than
I am, dear"
''She looked at him, and, thinking of
what he once had been, she answered
in a quiet voice:
"I did, James

What Dewey is Doing

What has become of Admiral George
Dewey, and what is he doing now?"
Taken all iii all, there is perhaps no
man in the United States, in the service
of the government or out of it, who is
in more enviable position than Admiral
Dewey Congress has given him the
rank, pay and allowances of an admiral
of the navy, revlving the rank for his
benefit. He is absolutely independent of
the Secretary of the Navy and of the
President of the United States.
He cannot be retired and he cannot be
disciplined by reduction in rank or any
of the other usual means employed. The
place gives him an annual income of
$I5,5oo.
If he chose to do so, he could close
down his desk, go home, and never turn
his hand over i'll the way of work, either
for the navy or any one else, and his
pay and allowances would go on as long
as he lives; but the admiral prefers to
work and to work hard.
He is at the head of the navy general
board, charged with the duty of devils
ing general plans for improvement Of the
navy, the management Of the ships, the
handling Of officers and men, and the
control of the great government ship
Yards. Every day when he is not at sea
for the traiicuvers he is at his desk in
his office or attending the meetings of
the beard.
Admiral Dewey IS much loved and
much respected. He is a dapper little
fellow, not mitch more than five feet III
height His clothes fit him like the naval
uniform, without crease or bag any
where.
They do say that the adttiitai's Chihese
valet has no less than twet1ty new suits
of clothes ard ten pairs of shoes to take
care of at time. The admiral is not
a dude, merely we'll groomed man with
out seeming to have any thought of his
personal appearance.
He has but one fad, if fad it may be
called, and that is his love for animals.
He has one of the finest teams of driv-
ing horses in the city and also an ugly
looking English bulldog. The dog went
through the battle of Manila Bay with
Dewey, so they are real bunkies.
When the admiral was making tour
OF inspection of the fleet the dog went
along, and was allowed the. run of a
vessel while his mastet was aboard. On
one snip the d0lfllral returned from the
itien's quarters just in time to encounter
the dog sailing In most hurried fashion
from the officers Quarters with the toe
of an officers boot In hot pursuit
Admiral Dewey wis white with anger
and surprise. In. second, when the
captain appeared, following the direction
Of the toe of his boot, the admiral, CON
trolling himself as best he could, de
handed:
"Sir what do you mean by kicking
my dog in that n1annet?'
The captain came to a swift salute,
and his face, it was noted, was as pale
and drawn with suppressed anger as was
that of the admiral.
"Sit," he said, 81 would have kicked
that dog if he had been the personal
property of the Supreme Being; but sir,
/ would not have kicked him, and did
not kick him, until he had clewed the
legs out of two SIS pairs of uniform
trousers and ruined a de luxe edition of
the Naval Regulations, as we'll as killed
the ships feline mascot"
Then they both laughed.

Superstitions of Sailors

All sailors are supersttious and the
legends. OF the sea are legion, ranging
from phantom ships to spectral lights
and suddenly cleaning from yardarms
and rflastheads. That many of these leg
ends are very ancient may be proved BY
the fact that sea harpies are described
by Homer and Hesiod, while according
to Virgil they plundered Eneas during
his voyage to Italy. The beautiful 81
rens, too, are of classic origin.
Weird, indeed, are the tales of haunt-
ing spectres, fit to send ones nerves
ashivering after hearty supper, we'll
suited for Christmas time ghost stories
There are the four COLLINS of Dunter's
Ness, not ghosts, but evil water spirits,
who appear. twice year, only in mid
winter, but bring bad luck in a very short
time to the ship from which they are
sighted.
We must mention ADMINISTER the
dreaded Ghost of the Cape, that used
to be seen in halo of cloud and mist
over Good Hope, and also the silent
man of Wexford Harbor, the wandering
soul of the Dutch skipper who lost his
smack on his way to Dublin some three
centuries ago.
Ghostly apparitions are not, however,
the only ones to be feared at sea- In the
case of ST. Elmo's fire these apparitions
take the shape of spectral lights sud-
denly cleaning from yardarms or mast
heads. 1t was known by ancient navi-
gators as Castor and Polux-the best
omen if seen double. but signal danger
if seen single.
Jack has score of we'll known super
stitions, many of which are of very long
descent, such as the presence of figure
heads, the blessing of ships and the
crossing of the line" And it will be
remembered that the Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales both paid tribute to old
Neptune while on their journey to Aus
tralia.

Westcott took something that glittered
from his pocket, laid it in the, box beside
the chocolate heart, and pushed the box
toward Katherine.
"Do we trade even?" he asked, with
his eyes on Katherine's.
The elevator boy, agog with excite
ment, retired discreetly, but with re-
luctance to the pages of his novel, but
not before he had recognized in the gilt
tering object ring.
And when he looked again the box
contained two hands, although only one
was visible. The man was no longer
gazing at the wall.
The hand of the indicator above the
boys head was leaping from number to

ringing bells and inpatient voices drifted
from the elevator shaft; but the man and
the maid paid no heed
Then the boy moved the lever slowly,
even reluctantly, and the elevator
dropped gently to the ground floor.

FADS AND FANCIES.
MINNA SCHATT CRAWFORD.

The woman who studies the import
ance of dress very quickly discovers that
1t does not necessarily require rich quail
ties or costly fabrics to give the magic
touch of style, but that this wonderful
Transforming quality or essence is more
closely allied with the lines and the cut
of a woman's clothes than with the ma
tcrialS Of which they are made.
Color and color combinations belong to
the artistic side of dress, likewise do
lustrous and soft finish textiles; yet, let
the weave and the colors be ever so
beautiful, if the lines of the waist be
skewgee and the skirt hang in zigzags
the dress will make the woman who
wears it caricature, and the labor spent
upon it worse than wasted.
Better tweve-cent lawn that is cor
rectly cut and daintily sewn than a costly
silk whose every distorted line is a lus-
trous, cleaning horror The first essen
tial is a well cut pattern, one cut after
French model if possible, because the
lines of a French pattern differ from the
ordinary type Of pattern Cit in this coun-
try as the lines of an ocean greyhound

ingly easy to fit on every type of figure.
A good sewing machine is another es-
sental. Many who can machine fairly
well upon heavy fabrics seem, somehow,
TO fail of success when sewing Upon thin
materials. This is usually because they
neglect to adjust the machine to lighter
work Always use finer thread and a
finer needle and much lighter tension
for thin fabrics than when sewing heavy
goods. Also tighten the pressure upon
the presserfoot This is done by loosen
ing the. screw at the very top of the
presser bar; this screw holds the presser-
foot spring. By loosehing this screw you
will find that the foot will not bear so
heavily on the goods and the feed will
not Chew" thin or sleazy goods. 1t is
also very necessary to have the. machine
thoroughly clean and we'll oiled. Keep
ing these few hints in mind, any woman
of ordinary "gumption" can make and
own all the pretty dresses she Graves.

Rockefeller Makes War on Reptiles
Offers Twenty-Five Cents For Ever6
Snake Killed on His Pocantico
Estate.

John D. Rockefeller is looking for a
modern st. Patrick. He recently de-
clared war on the snakes that infest his
large estate at Pocantico Hills and
twenty-five cents is paid for every one
killed and brought to his superintendent
The following notice was sent out a
short time ago:
'I will pay twenty-five cents for each
snake killed on my estate. / desire to
rid my land of these reptiles, and any
one may enter the war of determination.
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER"
The war has begun and the regiment
of determination consists of every small
boy in the neighborhood and many men
who come from miles around to earn
the quarters. The region of Buttermik
Hill is about the widest in the county,
and here blacksnakes, copperheads and
garter snakes abound.
Mr.. Rockefeller always has been
deathly afraid of snakes. If he has oc-
casion to go to the Buttermik Hill sec
ton he always travels in a carriage.
Mr.. Rockefeller also offers two dollars
for every dog killed on his estate. Some
valuable dogs were killed last winter and
he had some trouble with his neighbors
William Rockefeller offered twenty
five cents for all snakes killed on his
place for several years, and now it is
free of the reptiles.
