This morning the Mikahala came
off the marine railway after receiving
a thorough brushing up. She will
be followed on the ways by the Kau-
al, which after her long stay on the
Hawaii coast, is badly in need OF a
general overhauling. The Mikanala
will return to the Molokai run and
the Noeau which had temporarily
taken her place, will go back on the
Kauai route.

CHAPTER XIV.

A month OF dangerous and almost
ia tai sickness followed. When at last
through the care of a faithful negro
nanny" the much enduring man
crept out from the valley OF the shad-
ow Of death, he learned that Pepeeta
had secured little room in tene-
ment house and was supporting her
self with her needle. in the use of
which she had become an expert in
those glad hours when she made her
baby's clothes. and those sad ones
when she sat far into the night await
ing Davids return. On the morning Of
the first day In which he was permit
ted to leave the house he made his way
to Pepeeta's new quarters.
And so this is to be her home" he
said with a shudder as he looked up
TO the attic window. Every day this
pale young man was seen, by the Gu
rious neighbors, lowering about the
place. AS for the object Of his love
and solicitude. she began at once to
be a bread winner The delicate girl
who never in her life until now had
experienced a care about the necessi-
ties OF existence began to struggle for
bread In company with the thousands
Of poor and needy creatures by whom
she found herself surrounded. The
only hunger she experienced was that
OF the heart. She soon became con-
scious OF David's presence, and de-
rived from It pleasure which only
added to her pain. She avoided him
as best she could, and her determine
ton and her sanctity prevented him
from approaching her.
He wrote her a letter in which, after
passionately pleading for her love. he
asked her to give him sign Of will
lingness to take him once more back
into her life. IF l may cherish hope
Of your ultimate relenting." he wrote.

Mandarin,

Mandarin is not, as is generally sup
posed, a Chinese word, but one given
by the Portuguese colonists at Macao
to the officials of the Flowery King
dom. 1t is from the verb "mandar"

OF the mandarins, distinguished by the
buttons in their caps-first, ruby; sec

Opaque blue stone; fifth, crystal; sixth,

Rurni Delivery and Roads.


The Postoffice Department at Wash
ington has again sent out orders that
rural mail delivery is to be discontin-
ued on routes not properly maintained
by mail patrons, who are supposed TO
keep the roads In good condition. In
many parts of the country the roads
are maintained and kept In fairly good
condition but thousands OF miles OF
roadways traversed every day by the
carriers are wretched, and later in the
year will become next to impossible.
Were it matter OF great expense or
effort to keep country roads In good
condition it might he something OF
hardship to farmers, but the intelli-
gent use of the split-log drag has prac-
tically solved the problem Of country
road making and road maintenance,
and people need to get busy In en-
ploying them on the highways. In
many parts Of the country, especially
in Iowa and Missouri, hundreds Of
miles of roads are kept In passable
condition the year around by means Of
this cheap and inexpensive implement.
When once a highway is placed in
good condition any farmer can keep up
one mile of road the year around by
dragging it few times month after
rain has fallen, work that will take
the time of man and team less than
half day all told.-Denver Field

Stable Ventilation.


Some years ago Prof. F. II. King,
OF Wisconsin. made an experimental
study Of the effect of ample and de-
hcient ventilation upon twenty mich
cows. The experiment was made In
half-basement stable, represented in
accompanying figure. having three out
side doors. thirteen large windows and
door leading by stairway to the
floor above. The ceiling was nine feet
above the floor and the stable con-
tanned $50 cubic feet Of space per COW.
Leading upward from the ceiling were
two hay chutes two by three feet in
cross sections. twenty feet high. which
could be opened or closed at will, and
ventilating shaft terminating near
the ridge OF the roof inside.
During the trial the cows were kept
continuously In the stable with the
hay chutes closed during two days and
then with them open two days, the
trials being repeated four times Fol
lowing these four trials the hay chutes
were left closed during three consecu-
tive days for poor ventilation and left
open the following three, making four
teen days In all
1t was found that measurably the
same amount of feed was eaten under
both conditions of ventilation. But
during the days OF insufficient ven
tilation the cows drank, on the aver
age, ia pounds more water each
day and yet lost in weight an aver
age Of 107 pounds at the end OF each

Bees.

Bees were unknown to the Indians,
but they were brought over from Eng
land only a few years after the land
ing of the Pilgrim fathers. 1t was
more than two centuries after the first
white invasion of New England, how
ever, before modern beekeeping began.
The industry of the present day dates
from the invention of the movable
frame hive by Langstreth In 1852.

skim MIX for Hens.

In some tests by the Virginia expert
ment station skim milk has been
proved a valuable food for laying hens
In a test of 1872 days % hens were fed
skim milk, laying 1,244 eggs, as
against 996 laid by % hens fed wet
mash with water. In test covering
81 days so hens laid So eggs on a
skim milk diet, while a like number
fed no skim milk laid 632 eggs. Other
conducted recorded SINH
lar results. The station, from these
tests, estimates that when eggs are
worth 20 to % cents per dozen skim
milk has feeding value of ~ to
cents a quart.

Agricultural Statistics,

At the approaching census special
attention will be given to the gather
ing OF agricultural statistics. Farmers
will be asked for information which
might be regarded as OF a very per-
sonal nature concerning their opera
tions, but they will be assured that the
facts will be held sacred.

it was entirely ruined. but the next

An interesting experiment in fruit
growing has been recently carried out
by the Count de Choiseul and de-
scribed in Cosmos. When a south wall
Is used for fruit trees the north side
of the wall is practically wasted as far
as fruit is concerned Count de
Choiseul has used a glass wall, and
grown fruit trees on both sides The
produce on the north side Is little in
ferior to that on the south. photo
graph shows heavily fruited pear trees
on both sides Of the wall. The wall,
60 feet long and 6R feet high had If
teen pear trees planted on each side
In 1907 1874 pears, weighing 81 pounds,
were gathered on the south side of the
wall, and 109. weighing II pounds, on
the north side. The variety grown
was the Doyenne L'Hiver

The calendar year 1909 will show a
smaller expectation Of wheat than any
year in the last decade. and an in
creased home consumption, both in
amount and per capita average, says
report of the Bureau of Statistics on
wheat production, expectation and con-
sumption of the United States.
The continued decline in exports of
breadstuffs lends interest to the state,
ment. The expectation of wheat for
the nine months ending with Septem-
Der amounted to only 27,76S,90l bush
els. against 6S,l7S,935 bushels in the
same month of 1908; -four exports were
6.2SS,283 barrels, against 9,42S,34?.
This reduction in exports of wheat
seems to be due to increased consump-
tion at home rather than at any de-
cline in production. The average an
nual production for the last five years
has exceeded any earlier five-year
period.
