Horses Made Deaf by Lightning.
An unusual incident occurred at
Clsrk's Corners, two miles north OF
Conesus Lake. when an electrical
storm passed over the place. The
barn on the Bartlett farm was struck
by lightning during the night, and
when Stephen Bartlett went to the
barn In the morning he found that

Praise and Blame,

The mere fact that praise and blame
are at present the corner stone of our
moral and social systems goes for
nothing. We shall outgrow that Just
as we have more or less outgrown the
primitive desire to kill each other:
And can any one deny that a world in

SNOW SPORT.

A delightful game to play ia the
winter holidays when the long hours
drag within doors, is Snow Fo" and
Geese.
A very slight snowfall will suffice
for the game, but it may be played
with snow foot deep in a city back
yard or in the field OF the country.
The game is prepared by the boys
who, first. with high boots trample in
the snow hugh circle with six or
eight diametric paths. as the size OF
the lot Will allow. After these paths
are clearly marked the fun begins.
Any number may join in the sport. 1t
Is like the old game Of THE Spider
and the Fly" One person stands in
the centre Of the circle and dashes up
and down the diametric paths to seize
upon the others as they fly round the
circle. The players can venture into
the centre if they are SO daring. but
if caught they become the spider and
dash for another victim. The one
who is catching cannot walk around
the circumference, but is confined to
the central paths.
Snow Baby is another funny game.
A smooth path of snow is selected
and as many holes or dens are pre-
pared as there are players. The dens
are made by scooping up little snow
70 form a hollow place about as big
as two-quart bowl. Each person
selects den. which he calls his,
and near which he stands. A circle

A FUNNY CAEDLESTICK.

We who are accustomed to electric
lights and gas light can scarcely make
our Imagination go back to the time
when there was not only no such
lighting. but not even candlestick
to hold the candle
In Scotland. very many years ago,
little boy was employed to hold the
candle box during the long evenings.
This boy was the ''herd-laddie" by
day. and in the night he would sit
in the chimney corner holding and
occasionally trimming the piece of
candle he held in his hand. The can
die was also peculiar. 1t was a bit
of wood. cut from a kind of fir tree
which Is found imbedded in certain
Scotch bogs. In some parts OF Scot
land they still use this kind of
candle.
You will. no debut, feel sorry for
the herd-laddie, who must have been
very tired working so hard day and
night. l wonder whether the candle

NEEDIEG TABLE LINEN.

Here is a good idea for mendins
table linen that is quicker and more
satisfactory than darning by hani:
Thread your sewing machine with
100 cotton; slip pair OF embroidery
hoopo under the foot: arrange the
cloth where worn between the hoops
SO tbaEth fiat side comes next the
bed of the machine.
DO not lower the foot. Take hold
of the hoops. and as you run the ma
chine work them back and forth with
the thread of the cloth, then turn and
work the other way.
You will be surprised when the
cloth is nicely Numbered. at the
smoothness and neatness of the job.
and have the satisfaction OF knowing
that your linen has taken on new
lease of life. breaks in napkins and
tears in under-clothing may be satls-
factorilv treated in the same way

TO IRON A TURNDOWN COLLAR.

TO IRON A TURNDOWN COLLAR.
The method of ironing rundown
collar depends entirely on its shape.
II the top fold has no spring ami
the collar lies fiat on the table. the
ironing in that case is done as for a
straight collar. But if the outer fold
is more shaped than the band. it is
then impossible to iron the entire col
lar at once 1t is then advisable to
iron the straight band until dry, and
then the outer part of the collar by
placing it into shape on the table and
ironing it until smooth and dry. The
collars are polished like straight COL
lars, but before folding over they
should be slightly damped on the
wrong side. where the fold is to be
made. and hot iron passed over the
damp part.
The steam passes through the sur
face fold making 1t slightly soft, and
prevents the stiff linen cracking when
it is folded, thus preserving the collar.

HILO, September 1.-THE actual
work of construction on the Hilo
Breakwater began last Saturday, Sep
TENDER II, when few loads of rock
were dumped into the bay at the point
where he Breakwater begins in order
to comply with the terms of the con-
tract which called for starting the

the honor of dumping the rock In the
absence of Contractor ID. e. Metzger
who had Jeen summoned to Honolulu
as a witness in the case of Judge An
drews for damages alleged to have
been incurred in constructing a right
of way over his property for the
tracks of the Hilo Railroad on its way

tor have been completed and stand on
a high knoll about eight feet above
the ground, commanding a magnificent
view of the whole bay and town OF
Hilo The handsome bungalow resi-
dence for Mr.. Metzger is finished but
not yet furnished. 1t has seven good
rooms and a couple of bath rooms
One of its features is the handsome
interior woodwork, the doors being
particularly fine specimens of Hawaii

in position for weighing rock, and
there are two large cranes, that have
been received from the mainland, that
will hoist and move up to thirty tons
weight at their far end. One OF these
was put together and tested last weeH
and found to be in perfect working
order.

TWO BIG HILO ENTERPRISES START

HILO, September 17.-Within less
than twenty-four hours of the dump
ing of the first rock for the Hilo
Breakwater the wheels Of the big oh1a
tie mill in Puma, erected by the Ha-
waiian Mahogany and Lumber Com
pany, began to revolve. The first trial
was made on Sunday, only a short
one but enough to make President
Thurston and Manager Harris, of the
company, both feel that some reward
had come at last to their months or
weary waiting, trials and tribulations.
On Monday morning in the pres
ence of Mr.. Thurston, Manager Harris
and Superintendent Sam Johnson. ana
Ollie Shipman Jr., the mill Superinten-
dent, Mr.. Hayner, started all the ma
chinery going and the party had the
extreme pleasure of watching the
wheels go round. They kept on going
round all day without hitch except
when stopped to tighten up bolt here
and there, or adjust some little parts
that needed it. 1t was a sound, solid
and comfortable sleep that the head
men Of the company had on Monday
night.
Bright and early on Tuesday morn
ing the big mill was again running
in splendid order and was kept run
ming till noon time when the new ma,
chinery had been sufficiently worn
down and was running as smoothly
as possible. After lunch, the first biz
log was put into the feeder and tes
made of the mills practical working
This was successful, and the first ohii
ties were turned out to fill the big con
tract with the Santa Fe Railroad.

PAINTED THE

Have you read of the Reds, the ever
ready Reds?
Who on Saturday, Regatta Day, took
notion in their heads
Took a notion and an ocean, for they
clearly swept the bay,
And from hustling Healani took the
glory all way.
At the dawning of the morning, oh,
the sea was very Blue!
That's the Healani color and a color
fair and true
But ere the sun a-sinking had COM
pletely ducked his head,
There wasn't any hue in sight but
Red! Red. Red!
Never mind, you Healani! 1t takes
two to make a race,
And your muscle and your hustle made
the Myrtles strike a pace
Made the Myrtles puff like turtles ere
the furious job was done,
And you helped to swell the cheering,
though the Myrtle fellows won!
