Bumper Crops No Boon to Farmer Who

Proper Illustration.

1t is a mistake, AYERS the Iluminat-
ing Engineer Society, to use bright
light against dark background, and
while an artistic fixture is well enough
as a decoration, yet lamps which in
themselves are good and suitable will
not be satisfactory from hygienic
standpoint unless the fixtures are in
the right position. In planning the il
Elimination of a room it is only COM
mon sense to determine just what you
are going to use that room for, and
then to arrange the lighting. By do
ing this it should be possible for peo-
pie of middle age to add years of ex-
cellent eyesight which otherwise
would soon diminish. Where children
of various ages are in n family the
matter of artificial light is of great i'm
portance. The general health of a
growing boy or girl may be seriously
affected by careless lighting, especial
ly in rooms where they read or study
their lessons.

Victorious But Conquered.

Victories are often purchased at
great cost. Sometimes the victory be-
comes defeat. What tickles the ma
tional fancy may drive men to ex-
tremes but the extremes may bring
consequences little dreamed of. In
the midst of the celebrations of vic
tory the collapse of power may begin.
No nation is so dangerously near ca
lamity as it is in the moment of it's
triumphs. Then It Is that the bars of
restraint are lowered and follies caper
in the guise of festive heralds of
greatness. One can't rise and by ris-
ing tamper with principles. No man
can ever get above his honor and re-
main worthy of himself. The fact that
you rise is evidence that you will need
all your powers to keep you in high
station.

Laurence Oliphant, a nan both of

tied with having first introduced Gig
arettes into English society. They be-
came fashionable in about 1870 and
had a revolutionary effect on smoking
among women. Those of the lower
classes had frequently been pipe smok-
ers. but in society the ladies', perhaps
Tor physical reasons, never took up
either pipe or cigar to any extent. The
cigarette offered them a milder and

Will HAVE TWO
ON SURVEY JOB

Two men-an engineer and lineman
will be sent to work on the survey
which the harbor beard yesterday af-
ternoon ordered for Kewalo harbor
and the Waikiki lands, it being anti
cipated that the survey will take about
one month to complete. The idea Of
having the survey made at this time
is to arrive at an estimate Of the
amount OF money that will be needed
and report TO the legislature.
No decision has yet been reached
as to what kind Of walk will be built,
whether concrete or wood. Some who
have thought over the matter are in
clifed to believe that the latter would
be satisfactory and much cheaper.
One official expressed the feeling
today that such a walk has long been
needed by Honolulu and will be in
line with walks on all big pleasure
resorts on the Atlantic coast.
The matter of filling swamp lands
will probably go under combination
OF authority from both public works
