CURIOUS HAWAIIAN GRASS.
Why Thousands of the lslands’ Cattle
Never Drink Water.
The proverbial horse which can
be led to water, but which cannot
be made to drink, exists in large
numbers in the Hawaiian Islands.
Among the cattle he has thousands
of cousins of the same proclivities.
It is a surprising statement to
make and yet one that is likzrally‘
true and so commonplace that no
one there thinks anything about it,
that there are hundreds of horses
and thousands of cattle which never
take a drink of water throughout
the whole course of their lives. |
On all the islands the upper alti
tudes of the mountains are given
up to cattle ranges. The cattle run
wild from the time they are born
until they are rounded up to be sent
to the slaughter house. Except dur
ing the possibly two or three months
of the rainy season there are no
streams or pools of water in any
part where the cattle range.
But everywhere there grows a re
cumbent, jointed grass, known by
the native name maninia. This is
both food and drink, says a recent
traveler. Horses and cattle grazing
on it neither require water nor will
they drink it when offered.
Our first experience with this fact
was on a trip to Heleakala. A party
were mounted on horses which had
just been brought in from the
range. The journey they made was
fourteen miles, in which distance
they ascended 9,000 feet. The party
started in the afternoon and at sun
set halted for supper. They thought
‘it strange that the horses should
leave a feed of grain to nibble the
\scanty grass which grew near by,
but were willing to trust their in-
I stinet in the matter.
However, before starting, they in
sisted that they be given water. The
native guide demurred, saying that
they didn’t need it, but with the
good natured compliance of his race
yielded to requests and led a detour
of about a mile, which brought the
party to a ranch house where there
was a well. But to the utter amaze
ment of the travelers the horses
would not drink.
They took it as another case of
instinct and assumed that the water
for some reason was not good and
so refrained from drinking it them
selves. It was not until the return
the second day to Kawaapae that
the travelers learned the secret of
the wonderful maninia grass.—Phil
adelphia North American.
Expense No Object.
During an inclement spell of
weather a lady of the order of the
newly rich was so unfortunate as to
contract a painful affection of the
throat, and she nccordingly accept
ed the advice of a friend that she
consult a great London specialist
noted for his expensive fees,
“Your ailment is not a serious
one,” said the specialist after ex
amination. “You’ll soon be all
right. I’ll just indicate to your
family surgeon precisely where to
touch your throat with nitrate of
silver, and I think that will meet
the case exactly.”
“Oh, doctor,” protested the rich
matron in a tone of mingled sur
prise and indignation, “do order him
to use nitrate of gold! Expense is
a matter, I assure you, quite imma
terial to me!”—London Answers.
Bismarck Loved Trees.
Bismarck was a lover of trees,
for, though so careless of human
lives, the Iron aancellor would
never willingly sacrifice one of “my
friends,” the trees. On his own es
tates it was difficult to gain hig con
sent to the removal of a single tree,
even when thinnin iwu necessary
to the proper Erowt of the planta
;.ions. Whien e hfonnd 8 workmatn
aying a telegraph wire, coolly cut
tiggimnches from a tree th:t was
in his way, Bismarck was furious,
and not only severely reprimanded
the man himself, but sent for the
engineer in charge and lectured him
on the criminal laxity of permitting
such a sacrilege.
Company Manners.
The teacher had been giving her
little ones some lessons in table
manners. “If you want to leave the
table,” she saii, “before the others
do you should always say, Excuse
me.”” The next day, wishing to
see how well they remembered her
instructions, she asked, “Fred, when
should you say ‘Excuse me’ at the
table P
“When we have company,” was
the earnest reply. Pittsburgh
Chronicle.
No Match For Women.
“Pa, write me an excuse to take
to teacher.” :
“Your teacher is & woman, isn’t
she?”
“Yes.”
“Well, my excuses have never sat
isfled my mother or yeur moth
er. Better agply elsewhere, son.”—
Washington Sar. .
Pretty Expensive Bteak.
The highest known price ever paid
for beefsteak was at Circle City, Alas
ka, a town that sprang up almost in
the night during the Klondike gold ex
citement. The first steak to reach
there sold for $4B a pound. It was a
ten pound steak and was sent from a
point fifty miles away. It was placed
on exhibition and was such a curiosity
that all the miners turned out in a
body to see it
Of course every one wanted a plece
of the precious meat, and the prices
offered might have resulted in a gen
eral mining camp quarrel had not some
one thought of raffling the steak for
the benefit of a hospital which a bish
op was trying to establish for the min
ers at Circle City. Bids started at $&
a pound and rose quickly to $33. At
last, in order to avoid possible trouble,
it was decided to sell tickets at prices
ranging from 50 cents to $2.50 for the
privilege of drawing a slice. After
$4BO worth of tickets had been sold
the drawing began. and to the relief ot
those in charge of the enterprise no
serious consequences resulted.—Detroit

a fairly large library of his own and is
bonestly anxious to know what bhis
books contain to devote some period ot
leisure to go through these volumes.

Cerms and All.
A Loulsville woman who is some
what of a crank on hygiene and whe
brings up her small daughter accord
ing to the latest methods took the child
on a day train to a nearby little town.
The mother sighed as she glanced at
the dusty velvet seat and cloudy win
dows. The youngster, however, folded
her manicured fingers in her white
pique lap and apparently tried to ab
sorb as little dirt as possible. Looking
up from her magazine, the immaculate
parent was horrified to find the smal!
daughter's jaws working violently.
“What have you in your mouth?"
she demanded at once.
“Gum,” said the child.
“Where did you get it?" gasped the
mother.
The child pointed to a clean, round
spot on the grimy windowsilL
“There,” she said.—Louisville Times.
Cost of a Horse.
It costs on an average $104.08 tc
raise a horse to the age of three years
on the farms of Indiana and those of
other states. This price has been care
fully figured by experts of the depart
ment of agriculture, who based their
figures on those furnished by 10,000
correspondents scattered throughout
the country.
New Mexico can raise horses cheap
er than the other states, or at an aver.
age price of $60.50. In Massachusetts
the raising of colts is more expensive
than in any other state, the average
horse at three years representing an
investment of $141.80.
Not to Be Repeated.
Bhakespeare’s contention that “there
was never a philosopher who could en
dure the toothache patiently” was dis
proved by Canon Liddon. After an ex
perience that would have closed the
mouths of wost of us, Liddon found it
poesible to write to a friend: *1 have
been quite laid up with troudble with
my few remaining teeth, of which )
bad five taken out the day before yes
terday. As only four remain, this par
ticular experience cannot be repeated
in this present life.” This ts a classic
instance of the triumph of philosophy
over pain.—London Globe,
