Are You Tired?

There is too. much tiredness in the
world, especially among business
women
Half the days work has to be done
by force of the will, since there is not
force of body enough to carry the
work through.
Most women accept this as I'M
avoidable. To be tired is normal,
whether one has charge of baby or
a typewriter. To tell them nature
intended back and burden to be in
due proportions does not help mat
tiers. They are too tired to theorize.
To get up fresh and CHEEKY in the
morning, do our duties vigorously,
with energy to spare for a song and
a smile and lie down in the happy,
wholesome WEAKNESS of well spent
day, that surely was the original plan
for our days.
Are we never to get back to it?
Some say the way lies through
gymnasiums; others hunt for don't
worry clubs and good resolutions.
Still others seek it by simplifying the
daily duties and throwing off the
worlds comparative standards.
And the last are nearer to reach
ing the goal than any of the others.

TIE zoo DRAWS
A BIG CROWD

Interest centered around the skating
rink at the Zoo yesterday, although
the big Fourth of July crowd paid
some passing heed to the other attrac-
tions of the place. But the skating
drew most of the people. There were
some good races, too, and a n ost ex-
citing game of hockey between the Dia-
mond Heads and the Healanis during
the afternoon, the Heads winning by
rather narrow margin.
The chase of the creased pig had
been relied upon to get a lot of fun,
but was something of a disappointment
because the pig did not seem to have
a fair chance to run. 1t was creased
and turned loose in the center of the
rink, but it did not have time to run
before a big boy skated out into the
middle of the place and fell on it. And
that was the end. Next time the pig
ought to be sent about a bit for exer-
else, so as to get into the spirit of the
game, before the chasers are turned
loose.
The crowd was good natured and
easily amused, and most of it staid all
day. In the evening, the masked car
nival on skates wound up a most sue
cessfuI day s amusement.

One tallyho, two wagonettes and
sundry private vehicles conveyed the
festive cricketers to the Polo grounds
/ at Moanalua yesterday morning, start
ing from the Opera House A splendid
I days sport ana social time was had,
and the occasion was graccd by the
presence of number of lady friends,
everybody being in the best of humor
and contributing to make the outing
a success. A liberal cold collation. was
served under the spacious marquee
with tea and all kinds of liquid re-
freshments in abundance.
Light showers fell at intervals during
the day but not to an extent to inter
rupt play or causing inconvenience to
/ the spectators. The turf was pretty
heavy and the wicket slow, so that it
was a banner day for the bowlers The
contending teams dubbed themselves
the Reds and the ''Blues'' in hon
or of the national holiday, the former
being captained by Stanley Beardmore
and the latter by ''Bob' Anderson.
The game was decided by the first
innings, and the victory went to the
Reds. The occupants of the last CON
veyance to leave for town had a siren
uous time before reaching home, the
baking team of horses giving a vast
amount of trouble. but no one allowed
these untoward incidents to mar his
enjoyment.

Dean StaElcy's Simplicity.

A story which illustrates the amia-
BILE simplicity of that famous English
divine, Dean Stanley, is told by Mr..
Andrew Lang.
On ole occasion The dean was din
ing out and arrived very late. His
hostess was Mortified to find that his
collar was unfastened, its two ends
flying like WINS on either side CT his
face.
She hardlJ. liked to draw his at
tention to the fact, but at last, with
the creates. delicacy, she ventured to
ask him if he kh2w the condition
Of his collar.
"Oh, yes," replied the dean; "do
you mind?"
No. ct all,' replied the lady.
Then | don't hind, either" said
the dean, peacefully; the button
drol ..eC c,os while | was Cressing."
1t was not, Nj Lang continues, alb
sence of mind, but unrivalled pres
ence of mind that Stanley displayed.
Any other human being would have
been at the point of changing his
shirt.

slant supply of fluid fuel is supplied
to the needle. Near the end Of the
needle are two small openings, the
pressure of the gas being greatly re-
duced to supply very small blue
fame. In using the device a sheet
of parafin-wax paper is placed over
a sheet of gold leaf in the book form.
By'a slight rubbing the gold leaf is
caused to adhere to the back Of the
paper with great tenacity. The
sheet of paper is then laid over the
object to he covered, such as sheet
of leather, and the operator draws
on the paper with the heated point
of the needle. On lifting the paper
it will be found that the gold leaf
has been displaced by the heat OF the
needle and adheres permanently to
the article. Any artistic design or
fac-simile signature could thus be
placed on an object without the nee
essity of metallic die.

Rome Bridges in India.

The indus in India is crossed in
some of its remote reaches by rope
bridges. The ingenuity of the ma
tives in making these bridges with
no material but twisted twigs, yet
strong enough to hold the weight of
any number of coolies with their
loads, and long enough to be swung
from cliff to cliff across the great
river, is a source Of wonder. Such
bridges are composed of three
strands of twigs, one for each hand,
to grasp one to guide the feet. They
sag gracefully from the tops of the
mighty cliffs that flank the river, oc-
casionally swaying slightly in the
wind, but are as firm and safe as a
bridge Of iron or stone.

to place gold leaf upon articles in
a manner equivalent to the placing

of the fact that the passing of any

tear it. Even if this were possible
the gold leaf would not adhere firm

A Handy Plant.
In bringing newly purchased addi-
ton into cultivation we concluded to
use this handy plant. The plot was
deeply plowed in June, after the ever
green nursery that had occupied it
many years had been removed, and
twice narrowed at intervals of a fort
night to kill sprouting weeds and drag
off the numerous roots. A portion was
planted with late table corn, fertilizing
with hen manure in the bill. Crimson
clover and cow horn turnips at the rate
of four ounces turnip to fifteen pounds
clover seed were sown ON the remainder
Aug 10, working it in with an ordinary
cultivator.
Mixed Seeds.
Mixed seeds were later sOWn in the
same proportion at the last working of
the corn in September. We tried to
SOW the clover at the rate of fifteen
pounds TO the acre and secured thick
stand for soil in such poor condition.

bitches ON Uneven Land.

It often happens that farm is more
or less cut up by ravines or depres-
sions which intersect or separate fields
and the supply bitches have to be ex-
tended across these low places This is
usually done in one Of three ways.
When the depression is not more than
a few feet deep levees are built on
each side. In other cases fumes are
built on grade from side to side, and
lastly the water may be carried across
in pipe laid in the form of an invert-
ed siphon. The earth levee is the
cheapest. but it is subject to leaks and
washouts for the first few years. The
wooden fume answers the purpose
fairly well, but it is subject to early
decay, and the clay or cement pipe laid
beneath the surface. although dearer
at first cost, is really the cheapest in
the end
