A Very Good Reason.

A very GOOD Reason.
One reason why the steamer Alameda,
and also the Hilonian, may not get
many passengers from Honolulu to the
Coast port, on some of their trips, may
be attributed to the fact that the
big ocean liners have brought so few
people. particularly tourists, to Homo
lulu in the last two months or more, as
the bulk Of the passengers in the big
boats were booked through to the ORR
emit The majority Of those who have
:. been able to come to Honolulu on the
gsaeifc Mail boats and even on the
Alameda, have been kamaainas, who
have booked far enough ahead to Sc
cure accommodations. The result is
that when some of the steamers make
return trips to the mainland. there are
not enough returning tourists to Ill all
the cabins. The Manchur1a arriving
on Monday brought the largest num-
Der Of cabin passengers landed here at
one time, and the majority of them
were kamaainas.
The Pacific Mail agency here has
about seventy bookings for the Mon
golia, which on this trip has accommo-
dations for about a hundred passen-
gers. This is one of the few times
even a steamer from the Orient has
had enough accommodations for all
who want to get away, and some left
over. 1t will be found that a very
large number Of passengers booked for
the Mongolia are local people. The fact
that there are not great crowd of
returning tourists is due to the fact
that tourists have been unable to get
to Honolulu. Passengers can not al
WAYS be going back without as many
coming.

scoffed at their alarm.

Consumption can be cured, or ar

States, and the percentage of cures in
the east and the west is nearly the
same. Any physician, therefore, who
sends person to the southwest with

of cruelty to his patient. Renewed

Plants are really miniature pump
ing stations and are constantly busy
pumping the land dry of its moisture.
They work through the power of cap
Hilary attraction. This is the same
power that draws oil up through the
lamp wick and that makes the towel
absorb water. Every grass plant, ev-
cry wild flower and weed, all shrubs,
bushes and vines and all trees are
steadily at work during the summer
and more or less at other seasons
pumping up the water-day and
night-from the ground in whicf
they grow. Some of this water is
used by the plants themselves for
their growing needs, yet much of it
Is allowed to pour out of a thousand
little spouts from each plant, ~hich
instead of falling back upon the soil
to be reabsorbed is transformed into
q very thin water vapor and floats
away in the air to be pricipitated at
some other time and in some other
place. All of this pumping is invis-
ible to our gross vision, but the
amount of water lifted by wild and
cultivated plants over the area of a
single county of single state in one
day amounts to thousands of tons of
liquid.

Horses In Cities.

The London Globe predicts that the
ideal city of the future will be horse
less. 1t says that motor vehicles are
now driving horse drawn vehicles out
of London. While that city has grown
in size immensely within the past few
years, the number of horses in use
there has become smaller. Cleaner
and less crowded streets have fol-
lowed this substitution of motor cabs,
trucks and omnibuses for the old style.
If the horse must be cut out of city
traffic in this country, it is evident
that he will go in glory. Exhibitions
of horses used for commerce in large
American cities show that this nation
now recognizes the merits of the draft
horse better perhaps than ever be-
fore. The streets of every large city
give proof daily that fine horses are
the pride of horse owners and of the
employees who have care of the ami
mails. Horse owners have always liked
the best. The sensitiveness about tax
ing another mans dust operates in the
city. The fine horses of the fire de-
partments, the express companies and
the breweries stimulate the attention
of all horse owners and drivers in
their choice of stock and the treat
ment of it when at work. In a few
years the American draft horse will
be at his best, and it will be pity to
cast him aside.
