GOLFERS ON TIE
ROBINSON REPORT

Golfers Of latest arrival has the fol-
lulu:
The aspiration for civic Improvement
, is spreading to the limits of.the Amer
lean Empire Mr.. Burnham has just
completed a plan for a Identification
of Manila. and now comes an elaborate
report by Mr.. Charles milford Robin
son on the adornment of Honolulu. In
a way this is even more significant
than the other, for the Manila plan
was the idea of an exotic government,
while that of Honolulu was the spon-
taneous desire of the locality itself.
Mr.. RobinSon'S report was addressed
to the Board of Supervisors of the
County of Oahu, Hawaii Territory; it
has been distributed by the Hawaii
Promotion Committee" and the work
of carrying out its recommendations
has been undertaken by a specially or
ganized Honolulu Improvement Asso-
ciatiOn.''
The conditions to be dealt with in
Honolulu have little in common with
those in the cities of the mainland.
Here is a tropical town, with trees
whose very names are strange to
a warm surf beating summer and WIN
ter upon coral reefs, with two extinct
volcanoes looking down upon its har-
Dor. and with pleasure instead of bust
ness the object of most of it's visitors.
Mr.. Robinson has rid himself of all
preconceptions as to how a city ought
TO be planned. and has thought only of
the best means of preserving, develop
ing. and intensifying Honolulu's own
unique and charming individuality. Ac-
cepting her natural gifts, which no
other city could secure by the expendi-
ture of any number of millions, he has
tried only to make them accessible and
TO set them off to the best advantage
with as little disturbance as possible
The result Will be a city which will not
only hold the future tourist for more
than the space between one steamer
and the next, but will be a delight to
its own people.

John Kea, brother of Mr.. Kea of the
Attorney Generals office, who was one
of the Hawaiian strike-breakers who
went to San Francisco on the Mon
golia, writes that members of the Sail
ors' Union at San Francisco threaten
ed to Kill the Hawaiians unless they
came ashore and Joined in with them.
At the first opportunity the Hawaiians
went over to the side of the strikers
and are being cared for by the union.
They talk of coming back to Hawaii
but this time they will probably have
to work their passage home.

Honolulu, II. l., Sept. 10, '98.
Mr. Dear Mr.. Lowrie:
Referring to my proposition to you

services, to go to Maui as the manager
of the H. G. & Fl. Co. upon the follow
ing terms:

900 per annum.
I'd. You to have the privilege of
buying of the S. n. Castle Estate or
of myself, at any time within three
years from October 1st, 1898, five thou
sand shares of II. c. and S. stock at
cost, to include interest at per cent.
per annum, it being understood that, in
case of such purchase, you will dispose
of other securities to pay for these as
rapidly as you may be able to do so
upon terms perfectly satisfactory to
yourself.
Sd. That this option must be acted
upon by myself on or before November
18th next, and that if you shall lose
your present opportunity at Waialua
through the failure of Mr.. POLITE s |
agreement to deliver me the control of |
the II. c. & S. Co., then L viii pay you |
$12,500 cash, the one-half of Mr.. Pol |

and further that in case / do not avail |
myself of the option | am asking for,
the privilege above named of purchas
irg III. c. & S. stock at par shall stand
except as to amount which
shall be three thousand instead of five
shares.
Hoping for an early acceptance, I re-
main, Respectfully yours,

APPLE HAS "A LONG DESCENT.
Traced Back to the Cave Dwellers
 of Swiss Lakes.

Among the fruits of the rose family are apples, pears, peaches, plums, cher ries and quinces, as well as strawber- ries and blackberries. The apple is T fruit of long descent Among the ruins of the Swiss lake dwelers are found remains of small seed apples which show the seed valves and the grains of flesh. The crab apple is native of Britain and was the stock on which were grafted the choicest varieties when brought from Europe, chiefly France. Apples of some sort were abundant before the conquest and had been introduced probably by the Ro- mans. Yet often as Saxon manuscripts speak of apples and cider there is no mention of named varieties before the thirteenth century. Then one may read of the pearmain and the costard, Chau- cers mellow costard."
 In the roll of household expenses of Eleanor, wife of Simon De Montfort apples and pears are entered. In the year 1886 the royal fruiterer to Ed ward I. presents bill for apples, pears, Quinces, medlars and nuts. Pippins, believed to be seedlings, hence called from the pips or seeds, are said not to have been grown in England before 1525. The exact Drayton, writing of the orchards of Kent at that period, can name only the apple, the orange, the russean, the sweeting the pcme water and the reinette.
 John Winthrop is usually held re- sponsible for the introduction of the apple into the New World. But as q matter of fact when Winthrop an chored off Cape t-l3 the recluse Black stone already hac apple trees growing about his cabin at Shawmut Neck. Some of the best of American apples were brought over by the Huguenots, who settled in Flushing, L. l., in 1860, and planted there, among others, the pomme royale or spice apple.

SMALLEST DOG IN THE WORLD.
She's n Toy Black and Tan Terrier and Weighs q Pound md q Half.

Probably the smallest adult dog in the world is Pinkie, toy black and tan terrier owned by Mrs. George H. Shapley, of Newtonville, says the Bos- ton Post.
 At the present time Pinkie weighs pound and q half and it is thought that she has about got her growth, al- though she Is scarcely larger than q kitten.
 Pinkie is now the pet of the Shap- ley household, but much as she is loved for her bright and affectionate ways she has not yet secured quite the same place in the heart of her mis- tress as that won by Toots, Pinkie's father. Toots recently died at the age of ii, but during his lifetime he was a very distinguished little parsonage. He was larger than his daughter, weigh ing three and half pounds, and had gathered in blue ribbons enough to more than balance him in the scales.
 Toots was noted as being the only singing dog in existence. His mistress is famous vocalist and in some way she taught Toots to "carry tune" as well as many people. The little fellow was a society favorite and nothing pleased him more than to be given an opportunity to show off his accom- plishments. Mrs. Shapley took him everywhere with her and always made new friends. He is probably the only dog ever tolerated within the arsto- cratic portals of the Waldorf-Astoria, but Toots was so small and so win ming that Herr Boldt could not re- fuse.
 Tootsie participated in many chari- table affairs. When he was a little more than years old he took the blue ribbon at the Boston bench show and after that 1t was one procession of prize winning. But though he was so tiny he proved good watch dog, twice arousing Mrs. Shapley when burglars were endeavoring to force their way into her apartments.

VIRTUES OF EYEGLASSES.
Are n Cure for Sensiclxness and Per-
 hapn for Insnnity.

Between eyeglasses and worry there seems no intimate connection, yet the first may often be corrective of the second. Even nal de mer may yield to pair of spectacles. Suicide and insanity may result from the want or them says the London Leader.
 This is not quack medicine adver- tisement It is statement of fact, based on the evidence of an expert.
 Writing in the Lancet, Ernest Prom ger, ophthalmic surgeon to Harrogate Institute, points out that though many people suffer from worry, few break down under it. The cause of the break downs that do occur, he is convinced from careful observation, are ill many cases errors in refraction.
 He once prescribed glasses for the correctional astigmatism in medical man, who had up to that time believed that his eyes were normal. Soon af- terward the patient went to Ireland, and in spite of a rough journey and the fact that he had always been liable to violent seasickness, he was not on that occasion seasick. The medical man attributed his exemption from the dreaded malady to wearing the glasses. "The motion of the sea-" snys Mir. Pron- ger, was not by itself sufficient to up- set him, the additional influences of that slioht arrnr of vafra ctiop bovino been removed" The same subject was also great sufferer from train sick ness, "a not uncommon result of astig- matism." But now he has only to wear glasses and no express has power over him.
 In another patient the nervous sys- tenn completely broke down. He be- lieved that he could see quite well. He went through various courses of treat ment without getting better. Then Mir. Pronger prescribed spectacles. From that day forward the patient became gradually restored to health.
 From his experience of the symptoms and conditions which are the effect of uncorrected errors of refraction, and which are also frequently the precur- sors of suicide and insanity, Mir. Prom ger asks consideration for the theory that it is defective eyes which are re- sponsible for large proportion of the cases of suicide and insanity which oc- cur.

 "No," said the old lady, after an in spection of her cash assets, q can't. I have only 60 cents in change"
 Mrs. Compton looked worried, and as sometimes happened, her husband endeavored to lend helping hand.
 "Your mother. has two-dollar bill there," he said, indicating one of the old lady's assorted piles. "Why doesn't she give you that, and you give her that dollar and quarter over there?"
 "Wiliam," and his wife turned an imploring and reproachful face toward him, don't mix us all up! That two dollars is what paid mother ten min utes ago for my share of Cousin Lucy's down puff.

PAID DEARLY FOR MEANNEss.
Farmer Lost Eighty Hogs by Ill-
 Treating n Boy and Dog.

''It doesn't pay to incur the enmity of a boy" said Kansas City man the other day, relating the misdeeds of his early youth. q remember how I took revenge on farmer whom l thought mistreated me. He had a large dog which I greatly admired, but which he sadly mistreated by starv- ing and beating it. used to coax the dog to go hunting with me, and as I had no gun, his aid in running down rabbits was very material. One day the farmer caught me hunting with his dog. He seized me by the neck and shook me roughly, telling me that if he caught me hunting with his dog again he would break every bone in my body and stamp me into the earth. felt deeply indignant. I planned to be avenged by some method which would not get me into more trouble. Within the next two weeks my tormentor lost eighty fine hogs from cholera. I had got satisfaction. From the pen of q neighbor whose pigs had the plague I had picked up two half-eaten ears of corn which I threw into the feed lot of my enemy and infected his whole herd. It was a devilish deed, and even before the pigs began to die had re pented. A boys wrath is as terrible as a mans, and he has not the wisdom of years to help him control it. Eighty fine hogs was the price that farmer paid for promising to massacre boy for making friends with his mistreated dog. And the farmer never knew. Even a boy and dog are better to have as friends than as enemies. ."-Kansas City Times. t

RELIEF FOR cAsrAWAYs.
New Zealand Establishes Supply DepOts on Uninhnbited Islands.

DepOts on Untnhnbfted ISlnnus.
 The French bark Anjou was wreck ed on one of the Auckland Islands, POO miles south of New Zealand eight months ago. The crew lived for week solely on the fish they caught, and the outlook was dark. Then one day two of the men found near the shore depot of supplies, containing variety of food and sufficient clothing to last the company for at least year.
 Great was the joy of the castaway crew, for they were in sore straits when they discovered the benevolent provision that had been made for ship wrecked sailors. A few weeks later the castaways hailed a passing vessel, and in few months they were home in France again.
 The New Zealand government had established this supply depot. It proved so serviceable to this party of unfortunates that the government has since placed similar depots on all the island groups south and southeast Of New Zealand, and also on the Kerma- decs, to the northeast-east.
 The government wants it known that the supplies await any sailors that are cast away on these volcanic rocks. Six depots have been placed on the various groups.
 The islands are in the track of pre- vailing westerly winds, and on or near the favorite route of sailing vessels travelling east from Australia to the Atlantic. None of them has been Oc- cupied by permanent residents though they have occasionally been places of temporary sojourn for visitors, ship wrecked crews, and whalers.
 Auckland and Campbell islands were tronomical parties in 1874, to observe the transit of Venus. The AntipOdeS Islands are almost inaccessible, and scarcely deserve their name.
 The man who discovered them thought they were the actual antip- odes of the spot occupied by the Greenwich observatory, but it has since then been discovered that they are the antpodes of Barfeur Point, on the north coast of France, about 120 miles southwest of the observatory of Greenland. The British have long maintained supply depot for cast aways at Sunday Island, in the Ker- madecs, and the New Zealanders have now established another depot on Cur tis Island, in this group. Depots have also been placed on the Bounty fsi- ands and Shares Island.
 Here and there along the coasts the government has erected posts with fingers indicating the direction of the depots. It is hoped that no other cast aways will have to live for a week on one of these islands without knowing that relief has been provided for them Washington Post
