A child, with its meager store of

with the facts of natural history OF
not. He must express himself with
what language is Immediately at his
command, or fail in more or less Sc
rious degree to express himself at
all and so his little store must be
treated as thoroughly plastic, just
as the language of his race, in its
earlier stages, was plastic. The ex-
istence Of whiten, "to make white, ,
is all the justification he needs for
smaller, to make small" or lowen,

BEST RECREATION.

To some the most restful kind Of
relaxation is to turn from one form
of mental or physical activity to an
other, bringing into play a new set
of faculties or muscles. The man
who has spent his working day over
law books or ledgers will take up
with delight the classics or some
branch of natural history or will en-
ter upon the study of languages or
literature. There is no doubt that
the highest form of recreation is
found in such ways, because while
they furnish rest and refreshment
they at the same time widen ones
Intellectual range and promote
growth in new directions.

A A OF LIGHTNING.

One day in the classroom, while
the editor was in college, the profess
sor mentioned as a 'freak" of the
lightning's, the peculiar behavior of
a stroke of which he was a witness.
1t struck the lightning-rod on a
church steeple, came down to with
in a few feet Of the ground, jumped
from the rod to a tree, from the tree
to the iron fence, and from the
fence to the rod again. That was,
indeed, a peculiar stroke, but light
ming is better understood now than
it was then, a result due to the
camera, which shows that many
flashes have a number of branches
shooting off in various directions
like the small roots of a tree. The
case mentioned by the professor was
no doubt one of these, and the jump.

MEL8A's BEGINNING.

During the years Immediately
preceding my first and, for me, my
most memorable visit to Europe, the
late Marquis Of Normandy was gov
ernor Of Victoria. AT that time l
was regarded in Melbourne as a very
good amateur pianist, much in re-
quest at private parties, at which l
always played, and on very rare oc-
casions also sang. AT one of these
functions, given at government
house, l gave some songs between
the pianoforte selections, and the
Marchioness of Normandy, in
thanking me, said, "Child, some day
you will give up the piano for sing
ing, and then you will become fa-
nous" That was the simple COM
ment that set me seriously thinking

AMIN FREAKS.

e region round about a certain
large town in Pennsylvania is noted
for the number of fowl and animal
freaks that it has. One farmer has
a siy-legged pig, and another has a
four-legged pig, and another has a
four-legged duck. A male guinea
fowl there recently Matched out a
brood of nine guineas, and an old
hen adopted a litter of four kittens.
1t seems that the hen manifested a
strong disposition to sit, and her
owner, to prevent it, nailed a board
across her nest. But she was deter
mined to sit anyhow, so she whipped
the mother-cat from the kittens and
established herself as their protec-
tor. A spaniel dog in the neigh
borhood has also adopted a litter Of
kittens, which he cares for as if they
were puppies, and he were the moth.

NEW CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA
Chicago Banker soothed Physically
and Mentally by Watching
Spouting of Fountain.

A well-known banker of Chicago's
suburbs has discovered a new cure
for dyspepsia. His remedy is not
only a painkiller but is also said to
be a restorative Of youth.
The banker has been bothered for
months past by poor digestion, due
mainly to worry over business af-
fairs. When he came home at night
he could not get his mind off the
bond market and consequently could
not enjoy the meal.
He has solved the entire problem
by placing a fountain in the middle
of his dining-room table. In the
fountain there are placed a few
small gold fish and frogs, and now
the banker explains the workings Of
the magic fountain.
When he sits down to his evening
meal his eyes are at once carried to
the spouting water of the fountain,
a relieving picture compared with
the daily turmoil of his office. Then
the trickling and gurgling Of the
wafer has a soothing effect on the
ears. There is usually a croak or
two from the frogs to complete the
first treatment of the bankers dys-
pepsia cure. But long before this
the mind has wandered away from
the worries of a business life and he
is enjoying the meal to his full ca.
pacity.

HONOLULU AFTER
THIRTY YEARS
Mrs. C0nklin Returns to Find
Landmarks Gone and
a New City.

| Mrs. Conklin, daughter of Mr.. and
/ Mrs. John Mott. has just returned to
/ Honolulu on a visit to her parents and
| family, after an absence of thirty
years. She finds wonderful changes in
Honolulu, changes which have oblit-
Grated almost all of the landmarks
familiar to her.
The government buildings, the Capt.
tol and the Judiciary building, are the
same now that they We're then. Here
and there. there is an old building that
Ashe can recall. Along Fort street there
are a few, but only a few, buildings
which were here when she left the
place.
The district between Nuuanu avenue
and the river has twice been largely
burned over since she went to Brook
Ign to live, once in 1886 and once in
1900. Beyond the river, the whole of
Palama is new. There We're scattered
residences there but they were not
numerous. The Kamehameha Schools
We're not then thought of,
In the other direction, the "plains"
were then in reality the plains"
Beyond the Atherton residences near
King and Alapai streets, there were
but two or three houses until one,
reached "old Waikiki" which extended
from where the Mochizuki club is now,
as far as the Seaside Hotel. Beyond
that there was nothing. Kapiolani
park was only nascent.. Even to
reach 'old Waikiki the stream had
to be forded for there was no bridge.
Bethel church stood at King and
Bethel street. The old police station
was beyond Nuuanu avenue between
King and Queen streets. Fort Street
church from which Mrs. Conklin was
married, stood where the Japanese
consulate does now. A part of Union
street has undergone little change.
There are a few of the old houses still
on upper Nuuanu avenue. But the
town has spread in every direction.
its entire area new build
ings have taken the place of old ones.
1t is an entirely new city. Very few
of the landmarks have outlasted the
thirty years of Mrs. Conklin's absence.

EX-CONV|CT WOMAN
REFUSED 4 DIVORCE

Ogawa, a japanese woman, was de-
MED a divorce against her husband of
the same name, after a hearing, by
Judge De Bolt yesterday. She was
represented by c. F. Peterson, while
Jno. w. Cathcart looked after the in
terests of the man.
After having been disappointed in
her efforts to get rid of her husband
by the divorce route, Dame Ogawa
tried to have him placed under bonds
TO keep the peace toward her. Judge
De Bolt Informed her that there was
a regular mode of procedure available
for that end, providing she could show
good cause for such restraint of her
husband. and referred her to the dis
trict magistrate
1t appeared at the divorce trial that
the woman had served two terms In
prison under Federal sentences for acts
inconsistent with conjugal fidelity

Score another triumph for law
and order. The city of New Ulm,
where it is said that 95 per cent of
the people are opposed to the "lid,'
has had to obey the law. Mayor
Silverson had announced that he in
tended to follow the wishes of the
people Of the city, which meant
that he wou!3 nullify the state law.
Atty. Gen. Young thereupon sent
him the following sharp communi-
cation, which soon brought him to
his senses:
Il am advised by residents of
your city that the saloons are allowed
to remain open and to carry on their
business on Sunday. 1t is unncccs-
sary to call your attention to the
fact that it is your duty as mayor
to cause the laws of the state relat-
ing to the regulation of the liquor
traffic to be enforced in your city.
Under the same law it is my duty
to cause the removal and punish
ment of municipal officers who will
fully neglect to enforce such liquor
laws.
1T is entirely likely that there
are number Of good people in
your city who do not regard this
law favorably, but they must bear
in mind that they are part Of the
state and they should not permit
to be put in a false light
by either encouraging or countc-
the violation of valid
state law.
IF each community were al
lowed to choose which Of our state
laws it would obey and which it
would violate there would be an
end Of all government, and the on
ly safety lies in the impartial en-
forcement of all our state laws, and
| do not believe that the people of
your city want to be classed among
those who would show disrespect
for or defy the authority Of the
state.
THE saloons of your city must
close and remain closed on Sunday
the same as elsewhere in the state,
and unless | am advised that you
caused this to be done henceforward
| will be compelled to exercise the
power conferred upon this office in
the premises. Kindly let me hear
from you.''
And Silverson Immediately got
busy and applied the "lid.'
