Retrospect.

The season is again upon us when
we can look back again upon the sum-
mers work and its results; when we
may criticise our methods and discov-
er where we have done better OF
worse than in previous years. If we
have failed in any particular to dc
what might have been done to perfect
the crop, or if we have discovered some
Improvement over methods employed
in other years, we should, while the
facts are fresh in our minds, make
memorandum of the same. We all
know that while we are at work We
are impressed with some better ways
of doing the work, but we are likely
to let these ideas slip our memory
before another season rolls around.
Every farmer and fruit grower
should have what merchants and
manufacturers call, in their work, .
tickler system. This simply means {
method of making memorandum of i'm
portant things that require attention
lat a specific future date, and filing
them in manner that will bring
them to hand at the proper time. Sup
pose for instance, that you find a
certain brand of lime is better or
worse than brand formerly used II
spraying operations. Make memor
andum of this and file it to come
up at the time you would be figuring
on supply of lime for next season
This is only a suggestion. with illus
tration, of many things that escape
us because we do not have method
of fixing the facts in some way, and
thus avoid the uncertainty of the
human memory.

derchlldrenable" Flowers.

When the first little granddaughter
was big enough to want. to pick the
garden flowers, the grandparents tried
every guileful means to save their pet
posies from devastation. A truce was
reached when it was agreed that Har-
riet should let the garden plants alone
and pick only "children's flowers" a
descriptive name bestowed at once
alike on dandelions, buttercups,
iaisies and clovers. After this there
was peace in the family. One day
Katherine, the newest granddaughter,
was contentedly pulling grasses while
grandmother shipped OF blossoms
from the forget-me-nots. Katherine
remembered, that fresh flowers had
not been gathered for the dinner Ia
BILE. She'ran over to grandmother and
promptly coined one Of the longest

In response to petition from the

appointed committee to recommend
changes in the uniform of the men.

breeding possibilities in the wind. The
collar blows up about the head and
face, and the neckerchief gets tangled
in the hands, and Is general nuis-
ance. No protest has been made
against the flaring trousers, as the
fare makes it easy to roll up the legs
when the sailors scrub the decks. The
men ask for a vizored cap and coat.
Whether their demands are granted
now or not; some change in the sail
or's uniform is inevitable, declares the
Youths Companion. A garment that
interferes with mans work has out
lived its usefulness. There was time
when men wore silken hose, lace-ruf-
fed shirts and flowing lace cuffs with
silk or satin coats. One has only to
imagine man clad in that way walk
ing the streets of modern city or
running high-powered automobile to
understand why silks and satins have
gone out of fashion for mems gar
ments. That laces and silks and sat
ins are still woven and worn by wo-
men is the worlds tribute of apprecia-
tion for woman's ornamental capabili-
ties. Her usefulness is never doubted.
Clothes also show the progress of
democracy. 1t was the gentleman who
wore laces and silks. The peasant

server of the passing throng. Nova
days it is impossible to distinguish be.
tween the rich and the poor as they
walk the streets. 1t sometimes hap.
pens that the poor man dresses bet
ter than his employer, that he may
make good impression"-a utilitari-
an reason for good clothes as truly as
the demand for vizored cap by the
sailors is based on business reasons.

TaIIow "Dlp" More Used Than Ever.


The "tallow dip" of our grandfath-

ly, writes William Hard in Technical
World Magazine. 1t Is made of stearic
acid, which is only one ingredient Of
the tallow that grows in the sheep and
In the steer. Neither is the "tallow
Dip Of to-day real dip" They used
to take long wicks and dip them in
hot tallow, time after time, till the can
die had acquired the proper thickness.
To-day they run hot stearic acid into
moulds and make a hundred candles
lnstantaneously. The "tallow dip" on
the market to-day therefore would be
more accurately described II it were
called "stearic acid mold" But
nevertheless it remains tallow prod
uct. 1t is the direct lineal descendant
Of the "tallow dip" Of our .grandfath-

the candle of a large part Of the popu-

VESSEL
FOR KONA TEACHERS
BOARD OF EDUCATION TO BRING
THEM HERE FOR OLEsON DAY
DISCREPANCIES.

The principal business Of the Board
of Education at it's meeting yesterday
afternoon was the granting permis-
sion to the ten Kamehameha boys
who are teaching school on Kona to
come to Honolulu on the 18th of De-
cember to attend the exercises attend
ant upon the celebration of the goth
anniversary of the founding of the
Kamehameha schools. Elaborate pre-
parations ave been in progress for
some time now, and Rev. w. b. Oleson,
the first principal will be the guest Of
honor The Kona boys will be allowed
to come down on a special steamer,
and the several days which they will
miss will be made up in teaching on

WHITLEY
GETS IT
TOO MUCH POWER WRONGLY EX-
ERCGSED, SAYS THE CHINA GA
ZETTE OF SHANGHAI.

The Chinese Gazette Shanghai
says:
Another of the criminal cases dcCid-
ed by Judge Whitley, of the new T. S.
District Court for China has failed to
meet approval of the superior court in
the States. A telegram was received
at the American Consulate today ad-
dressed to c. Biddle and signed Lam
me-" informing the prisoner that he
was acquitted on appeal. Biddle it will
be remembered, was convicted last
January on charge of fraud, prefer
red by the Judge and District Attor-
ney, arising out Of a civil suit in con-
nection with the leasing of the Chi
nese Grand Stand to Chinese for gam
bling purposes. He was refused a re-
hearing by the Judge and held a pris-
oner by the Court pending his appeal,
but at the cost of facing the world
anew as a completely ruined man. his
property destroyed or all gone, he
himself a bankrupt, while his wife
died from the shock of his wrongful
conviction as a felon. The extraordin-
airy powers conferred by Congress up
on the Court to dispense with jurors
or assessors and to entrust the most
vital questions, involving life and
property to the tender mercies, preju-
dices and fallible judgment of one man
are in this case largely to blame for
the terrible injustice done to the I'M
happy eX-manager OF the MetrODole
Hotel Even though the mills of the
law have ground the prisoner to pow
der, as it were, in this cruel way, the
Chinese gambling syndicate has not
yet got back its money, which Blddle
was quite ready to repay, if he had
not been arraigned upon the criminal
charge which the Court of Appeal has
now pronounced to have been false
and the prisoner wrongfully convicted.
No further particulars are given in
the cablegram from his lawyer Mr..
Lamme, who proceeded straight to the
States to fight the case. 1t remains to
be seen what reparation the American
Government will now try to make.
But so far the District Court officials
say they will not take any notice Of
the telegram or move until they get
official advice and specific instructions
from America.
This is the second criminal case of
Importance in which Judge Whitley
| has been completely oVerruled by the
superior courts at home-the other
one being chat of Price for the alleged
attempted shooting.
1t is said that Judge Whitley is in
disposed" today We should not like
to be asked to diagnose his case.

CRUISERS GO To
YARD FOR REPAIRS
MARYLAND AND WEST VIRGINIA
WILL BE AT VALLEJO SEVERAL
WEEKS.

VALLEJO, November 5.-The cruis-
ers Maryland and West Virginia are
expected to arrive here in about a
week for extensive repairs.
Much work is to be done at Mare
Island on both ships. Owing to the
fact that the ward had more work
than it could well handle, the jobs on
the big cruisers were not taken up be-
fore they sailed for the south. They
will probably remain at the navy yard
for several weeks.
Work on the gunboat Yorktown is
nearly finished, and she will sail about
the middle of the month for Central
America, where she is again to be
stationed to guard American interests
The California will probably return to
Mare Island to have some work done
as her orders to proceed to the Puget
Sound Navy Yard have been counter.

The first rivets in the keel of the
Prometheus, the $1,75OOOO collier to
be built at Mare Island, were driven
today. The usual ceremony attached
to such events was omitted. The con-
struction of the collier has been great
ly delayed by the difficulty in obtain
ing skilled mechanics.
Although the mechanical force is
the largest ever employed on Mare
Island there is work for several hun
