the four seasons, painted in oils, for
the famous tapestry made at Windsor
for Henri Henry.
At enc corner of the table in the
diningroom stands a gilded lantern
-perched on pole set in a pedestal OF
marble This lantern, brought from
Italy, was used in the old religious
ceremonies in which the popes took part
and was carried before them as a sym
Dol of their office.
Against the other wall stands an an
eient writing cabinet with carving of
evident F1orentine design. Above the
desk there rises an imposing back con-
tanning numbers of cunningly devised
doors and shelves in which TO keep writ
ing material and the many pages of
manuscript doubtless written by the
original user.
The Bust of Henri ".
Standing on table against back
ground of old embroidered erests is
bust of Henri of Navarro, King of
France. This bust is copy and the
only one. of the original which now
stands in the Louvre. That bust was
presented to the authorities in charge
of the Louvre on condition that only
one copy be made and this one copy
Mr.. Howard secured

repositories of such numbers of objects
of art to which attach peculiar interest

associations that it would be impossi.

Between the main hall and the din

mounted by cupids. These were carv-
ed long before electricity was KNOWN
but now the cupids hold each a cluster
of electric globes in their hands.

one notices that the hall has been de-

Mr.. Howard is at present travelling
in italy. He spends his winters in Ho-
nolulu and travels mostly during tine
summer On his return to Honolulu
he will doubtless bring with him more
treasures of art to add to the wonder
full collection which now graees his
villa and charms those who have the
good fortune to have the entree to a
house that, by its quiet seclusion, is a.
restful as it is beautiful.

In Mr.. Howard s private library is
a portrait of Queen Victoria signed by
her and with short message of graf
itude to Mr.. Howard for some service
he had rendered her in placing his
grounds at Nice, at her disposal.
Novel Electric Lighting.
The lighting of the house is re,
markable feature of this carefully ar
ranged abode. In the dining-room ana
main hall the lighting is all done from
electric lamps arranged on the orna-
ments. In the salon are four Louis
XVI chandeliers which have been cum
ningly wired and miniature electric
lamps take the place of candles.

The Chinese Room.
Leading from the dining room is a
door which opens into the CHR ese
room. This room acts as a vestibule
to a rear entrance which opens on
to path leading from the back of the
house to the street. This room contains
some heavy inlaid Chinese tables and
chairs and is arranged in purely Chi
nese style.
From this room a door leads to d

The Formal Garden.

Above where the Gilman house stood
a level place was cut in the side of
the hill, and here the foundations for
the villa were laid. The space oceu-
pied by the old house was converted
into formal garden, Italian in its
general features, but lacking the exact
formality of the severer Italian style
and relieved by some old statues from
the hands of the ancient Greek seulp-
tors.
The exterior of the villa is compar-
atively modest. To the casual observer
it has the appearance of fairly
roomy and comfortable residence, with
a wide lanai running the entire length
of the front The interior, however,
while not pretentious, has a spacious
ness and finish which could be only
the result Of much thought and arts
tic knowledge.
Yet it is perhaps the furnishing that
makes the villa place to linger in,
to wonder at and to admire Fur
nishing'' does not mean only the chairs
and tables and rugs, although every
one of these has history, for they
are all brought from far countries and
many of them have been graced by the
touch of oldtime beauties and gallant
men.
1t is the pictures, the tapestry, the
statuettes, the treasures of old Chinese
and Italian carving, the priceless

Perched on the side of the steep
slopes of Makiki Heights, half hidden
save for the quiet green glimpses of
the roof here and there between the
shivering fronds of the higher palm
trees, surrounded by gardens that
range in every style of beauty from
the severely formal to the half-wild
wealth of apparent disuse, the Honolulu
home of F. K Howard stands today
as the acme Of what wealth and arts
tie taste can do.
It is now more than three years
since Mr.. Howard decided to make his
home in Honolulu. He is an artist by
nature and has keen appreciation of
everything that is beautiful. With the
necessary wealth to carry out his ideas,
he went to work to design and lay the
plans for a house and grounds that
should be fitting home for the many
varied works of art that he has col
lected in his travels.
He ulu d. "A. 0ilHldH MUSE anu
grounds at the head of Keeaumoku
street were chosen as the site of the
new villa to be built. The house was
moved over from the Eva to the Wal
l1iki side of the road and was there di-
yided into two parts. One part is used
as lodge and the larger part of the
house is now the residence of his sec
rotary. On the same piece of ground
stand an ample stable and garage, and
at the back of the stables are a laun-
dry and pumping station which pro-
vides water for household and garden
use.

Enllah,ened seIt-Interest.

There is one motive behind all bust
ness dealings, the handspring of all bust
ness transactions. People buy and sell
with one fundamental object-the hope
of gain. 1t is matter of self-interest
pure and simple and doubtless will re-
main so to the end of the chapter. The
difference in merchants lies in the fact
that this self-interest may be brutal
and unptincipled with the result that
is is short sighted and considers only
temporary gain at that, on the other
hand, it may be controlled by the high
est aims and be rewarded by permanent
success.
In the United States one of the most
conspicuous examples of selfinterest
wisely consulted is the seed business of
D. NJ. Ferry & Co. We do not know
how it would be possible better to serN 9
tue purchasing public than by their
method of supplying annually every To-
cal dealer in the country with seeds fresh
ly put up and then at the end of the sea-
son removing from the retailer all
stocks left on hand, thus preventing
the possibility of unfit seeds being car
ried over for another spring. By re-
garding primarily the interests of the
purchaser, d. NJ. Ferry & Co. have
grown to be the largest eeed-house in
the world This success has necessi-
tated systematic organization aud made
it possible not only to specialize but to
have the best physical equipment in
America.

Improved Railroad Rails.

Open-hearth steel rails will soon be
used exclusively on the Long Island
lines of the Pennsylvania railroad,
first order for 900 tons, for 1909 delivery,
having been placed with the Bethlehem
Steel Co. The change from bessemer to
open-hearth rails will notinterfere with
the usual distribution of Pennsylvania's
rail order, as all leading companies
make open-hearth rails. Many rail-
makers have been putting in open
hearth plants to meet the views of rail-
roads which desired to change from bes-
semer. 1t is expected that the rails
will cost 80 to So per ton more than
bessemer. A number of railroads have
been experimenting with open-hearth
rails for several yerrs with such good
results that many engineers believe it
only question Of time when every
road will more largely use them. This
recalls the prophetic statement of the
late Alexander Holley that the open
hearth process would live to attend the
funeral of the bessemer. 1t should be
noted, however, that the makers of bes-
semer steel are introducing dry-blasi
to mitigate the evils of variable quality
which moisture in the air occasions
