THE FOREHEAD.

A forehead that curves back reveals
poetic temperament, fondness for
the arts and a talent for either music
or painting.
A straight forehead, one that rises
from the eyebrows in perpendicular
line, is sign of severity, inhexibility
and tenacity.
A high forehead, to be very good,
should be well developed about the
eyebrows.
II there is quite a perceptible bulge
of the eyebrows, combined with high
forehead, the sign is of calm. cool,
deliberate thinker.
II with these eyebrows is combined
a forehead that slopes gradually back
sensitive, poetic temperament is dis
closed; II, again, they are combined
with a short, narrow forehead, the
subject will be successful in business
and In everything connected with
worldly matters, but he will be incap'
able OF appreciating to any extent or
of creating anything connected with
the arts.
Breadth Of forehead Is always favor
able: 1t is distinctly connected with
breadth of character.
OF course broad forehead may be
part of weak face, which will natur.
ally define The limits of character
much closer than even combination
of narrow forehead with an other

Mr.. w. II. Harrington, Editor h e n
ing Bul letin n, Honolulu. T. II.
Dear Friend:-I am writing you
this letter telling you about our
school location.
Our school is located in the central
part of the district of South Kona, Is
land of Hawaii.
The distance from the shore to our
school Is about 1-2 miles. From the
landing of Hookena to our school is
about 5 miles.
1t is a little fishing town close by
the beach.
We can see Hookena, Honaunau.
Kealakekua Bay, Huulalai mountain
! and half of Haleakala mountain at
Maui plainly from our school win
dows.
The country surrounding our yard
is covered by lantana bushes and big
kukui trees, hau bushes, orange trees
and other kind of trees.
Our school yard is on a bad slope.
There were planted in our school
yard silver oak, pear, mango, roseap-
pie, yellow guava trees. They have
grown very large and give plenty OF
shade.
On the south of our school yard
there are many Ohia trees.
There are many stones in this
yard. The large stones are being
broken up by boys with a sledge ham
mer and crowbar.
The yard contains little soil and
many many stones.
1t has an area of 3,672 square
yards.
The slope was broken into four ter
races. All the terraces are narrow.
They were made of stones set nicely
together and covered with soil. There
are four Fairgrounds. We have two
buildings. The little children are
in the old school building. The old
building was built during King Ka-
iakaua's time and was first used as
a Hawaiian school.
The teachers in those days were
Kalaukoa, Apela, Kamaka and Mr.
p. Haze They first used the old
building to teach the children in Ha,
waiian. Advanced children use tho
newer building. 1t was built about
ten years ago.

Dear Sir:-The two or three weeks
past we have not had to water the
plants, as 1t has rained almost every
evening and morning.
On Tuesdays and Fridays we go 70
the garden to work. The boys make
the beds and we girls plant the seeds.
On Monday the boys went in the gar
den and Masayoshi limbed the mango
tree and cut its branches. In the at.
ternoon the smaller boys cut the lit
tie branches and carried them away.
We planted sunfowers along the
east side of the fence.
Elizabeth and some of the others
made garden and they planted ho!-
lynocks.

The morning paper, in n recent
story, mentions one OF its reporters as
being armed with clear conscience
and dollar. That one expression is
enough to cast doubt upon the truth
of the entire story. 1t instantly raises
the question, where did he get the dol
lar? OF course, there is no question as
to the clear conscience. All reporters
have clear consciences.
But how can newspaper man have
g clear conscience and dollar at the
same time? The two are absolutely
incompatible. The very possession OF
the dollar precludes the clear con
science. Newspaper men have con
scientious scruples against keeping n
dollar. 1t is contrary to all the ethics
Of the profession.

had = large sumptuous wad Of dollars,

Hauula, Oahu, Feb. 10, 1908.
w. Il. Harrington, Esq, Managing
Editor Even ing Bulletin n,
Honolulu, 7. H.,
Dear Sir:--I have been appointed
to write the first letter to you for the
Hauula school. We only started to
prepare our grounds for the prize last
week. We have removed stones,
grass and weeds. We have four plots,
each twenty-five feet long and four
feet wide. The girls take care OF
two plots and the boys the other two.
Hattie Makapo is luna of one plot;
Moses Malhkaua luna of another plot;
Yam Quon of another and myself of
the fourth plot.
Last Friday we planted bean, car
rot, cabbage and lettuce seeds. That
same night there was heavy rain and
1t washed our beds away. We shall
have to begin planting all over again.
AS we have no seeds left, we shall
have to wait until we can get some
from the Board.
Besides clearing our garden beds
last week, some of the boys spent the
time in filling up puddles with sand
from the beach. We are all anxious
to get the twenty-five dollar prize
and we are working hard for 1t.
Yours truly,
EMILY THOMPSON,

HALF-WORN DRESSES.

Nothing shows a lack of refinement
more than the wearing of tawdry gar.
ments and there seems to be no place
for the half.worn dress which has
done duty for dressy occasions. Per.
haps the best use to which Il could be
put would be to take Off the finest
trimmings, fashion, II possible. the
waist into n jumper effect and put
over neat lingerie guimpe. Band
with simple trimming and treat the
skirt in like manner. This makes u
semi.dresSy frock which can be worn
at the Office or for morning wear at
home. II Is natural for girls to want
pretty clothes and the half.worn gar.
ments should be put to some practical
use and the jumper waist pattern
seems to be the one best suited for re.
modelling the garment. Just a plain
front, with a round or V-shaped col
lar round armholes or capped. makes
a pretty style. Button the waist down
the back and have just enough fullness
at the waist line to relieve the plain
ness of the dress front II does not
take a great deal of money to be well
dressed but II takes great deal to be
deliberately gowned and IL takes times
and thought as well. BY giving the
old clothes few finishing touches
they will do service for many months.

Two ears are used for each sleeve.
They are prettier made of soft satin or

Wall paper that has smoky or

the walls with large pieces of cotton

tablecloth torn into pieces, will do for
dust cloths. For very delicate tints
put the powder in gauze bag-an old
piece of yelling will do-and carefully
wipe down the walls with the powder
bag. Put newspapers on the floor to
catch the dust which falls. A thin
paste of fuller's earth and ammonia
will often remove bad grease marks.
Cover the spot, but do not rub 1t;

OREGON PRODUCTS SENT OUT.
Steamers Carry Flour to All Oriental
Ports

IOTlS.
The steamship Numantia, of the
Portland G. Asiatic Steamship COM
pany, cleared yesterday for Hong
kong. via Siberian ports, with a gen.
eral cargo Of 52,O16 barrels of flour
says the Oregonian. The steamer will
leave down this morning at daylight
and will proceed to sea as soon as
possible.
The Numantia will carry on her
present outward voyage S5,002 bar
rels of flour for Vladivostok, East ST.
IBERIA, and 10000 barrels FOR Much
wang, North China. This is the first
time that one of the regular vessels
of the Portland & Asiatic line has
sailed for Siberian ports. 1t has been
the custom to dispatch a cargo OF
flour for Vladivostok from Portland
to Kunz & Albers each year and
heretofore a steamer has been char
tered for the purpose. Freight offer
ings being light this season, con-
tract was made with the regular line
to carry the foodstuffs.
The Numantia is the eighth grain
carrier to clear foreign during
March. The seven vessels preceding
were all wheat laden and carried a
total Of 900,260 bushels. The four
shipments began with the clearance
of the Numantia. Values amount to
considerable more than $1,000, 900.
The wheat has been appraised at
$SS1,941 and the flour on the Numan-
tia was valued at s2OS,464, making a
total of $1,040,4O5.
