Natural YarniSheE.

Fluid resins or oils from several diff
ferent trees are extensively used in the
Philippines as varnishes. One Of them,
called oil OF supa. is a pale yellow
liquid when fresh. but It becomes dark
and vlscous after contact with the
air. Spread in a thin layer it dries
slowly and forms a hard varnish. 1t
is also capable of being burned in a
lamp. Another natural varnish is ba-
lao. also called oil Of apitong. 1t is
white when fresh, but darkens after
exposure and makes very tough
varnish. Oil of panao is a third vari-

times he fully understood himself. One
day he was profounder than usual He

away over in the back Of the book.
The class was dazed. II was far above
their heads. and they did not under
stand even the edges of 1t. When he
had finished. the old man took out his
watch and said genially: Now. there
are ten minutes of the hour remaining.
II any student desires to ask me a
question. / shall be glad to answer II
TO the best Of my ability" The class
sat In stupor. The professor waited
for a time and then said: us there no
one who has a question to ask? There
are remaining several minutes that
could be profitaBly employed" Finally
one student put up reluctant hand.
"Ah.7 said the professor. you have q
question What is IT." what time IS

tie LATE JOHN RICHARD

The funeral OF the late John S.
Richard took place on the 18th, SER
vices being first held at the residence
OF the parents and then at the grave.
The pall.bearers were members of the
Laupahoehoe Athletic Club OF which
organization he was the originator and
Captain. The burial was on the private
grounds of his parents. Friends from
far and near we're there to pay their
last respects to the popular young man
and the funeral was one OF the largest
ever witnessed here.
John S. Richard was born at Kohala
plantation, District Of Kohala, on Feb
ruary End, A. ID. 1886. His father then
being employed as Head Overseer there.
Shortly after his birth change Of res.
idence was made to Honokaa, Hama
kua where he lived with his parents
until their removal to Laupahoehoe.
The young man here grew amidst the
picturesque surroundings of the pref
ty village, until he reached the age
when youths are supposed to attend
school. He then attended the laupa-
hoehoe Government school where he
diligently pursued his studies. He was
regular attendant there until the
summer of 1899 when a transfer was
made to the st. Louis College, Homo
lulu. He studied there for several
years.
After leaving school he first sought
employment with the Wilder Steam
ship Co. being engaged as clerk on their
several steamers. But. believing a
trade IN no tho hest he endeayorpd IN
learn that OF sugar boiling. This he
was able to do with the Laupahoehoe
Sugar Co., where he worked most ener.
getically until his late promotion to
the ookala Sugar Plantation, where
he met his sad death.
The community grievously feels the
loss of the popular young man, who
was In the prime Of life, with the pros
poets OF happy and prosperous life
ahead OF him. and sympathizes with
the family Of the deceased In their
bereavement.

THREE TIE

Yesterdays golf tournament at Ha-
leiwa ended unsatisfactory with Q.
II. Berrey, 4. o. White and A. MARCEL
limo tie for first honors.
There was quite list Of entries and
1t was a fine day for golf; however,
there were few good scores turned in.
This may possibly have been due to
the fast condition of the greens. Ho-
nolulu players used to the local green's
find II difficult at first to become ia
miliar with those Of Haleiwa. The
course was in good condition.
Q. II. Berrey, Frank Armstrong and
A. Mahaulu each had their name on
the cup twice and they all entered the
match keen to win. Berrey was the
only one to bring in possible score,
having played his two rounds in 80
and with his 6 handicap he netted an
81. Mahaulu was out of the race. Il.
o, White played well and tied Berrey,
as did Marcellino with a 20 handicap.
The three men that are tie for first
place will play off in the near future.

MALES vs.. Y M. E. A.

One OF the most exciting games Of
the season was witnessed on Saturday,
when these teams met at the Baseball
Park. Play was desperately keen from
start TO finish and both clubs are TO be
congratulated on the display. Males
were the more dangerous lot, but the
christians defence was superb.
Al the outset the Males at once as.
sumed the aggressive but the Chris.
tians, defending well, forced them back
10 their own quarters. Giye.and-take
play followed In which both sets of
halves shone. The Male quintet, get.
ting into their stride, bombarded
Beardmores charge, Turner and Ma.
caulay proving the saviors of their
side In clearing awkward shots at the
expense OF corners which proved
abortiye as far as the Males were
concerned. Catteral, after some clev.
er dribbling. eventually nonpussed
Beardmore with an unsaveable shot.
Half time arrived shortly afterwards,
the score reading NJ. /, Y. NJ. G. A. 0.
Resuming strongly, the Males gave
the opposition defence some work to
10 holding out their spirited attacks.
In the midst OF one OF these attacks

forts OF the match. Males continued
10 have the best of the exchanges.
forcing matters in quite refreshing
style and the entire team betraying a
speed and confidence that checkmated
the Christians every move. There
was no further scoring although the
Christians nearly got through on two
occasions. In view of the important
fixtures still to be played, superior
form by the Christians is n sine qua
non to enable them to evade the posi-
tion of wooden spoonlsts, their for
ward combination lacking cohesion
and the play continuity generally.
Their back division, however, played
with great determination and put up
stubborn defence, which enabled them
to keep the scoring low. Result;
