MOUNTAIN SLIDING
Hawaiian Small Coyo Simply Drop
Down tho Edge of tho Scenery
Water sports are by no means tho
only vigorous athletics Indulged In by
the boyH of Hawaii Mountain climb
lug Is a favorite pastime for there are
peaks 4000 feet high within easy walk
lug distance of any part of Ilonolulu
and ou the Island of Hawaii there are
two mountains fully 14000 feet in
height Not infrequently the Ilonolulu
schools give picnics on the mountain
sides that the pupils may gather land
shells It is on these excursions In
fcarch of land shells that the Hawaiian
schoolboys revel in the once national
sport mountain sliding
A very steep mountain side is se
lected where the grass Is long and
sloping downward Every one gathers
his own tl leaves The tl leaf is some
thing like the banana leaf but not near
ly so long With a bunch of tl leaves
in his hand the first boy steps to the
edge of the side grasps the leaves by
the stems in both hands places the
leafy part under him and sits down
gives himself a start and drops down
the edge of the scenery like a flash I
was assured that it was an easy mat
ter to regulate the speed of descent by
merely grasping the ti stems firmly
and lifting them upward this acting as
a brake I longed for the thrill of drop
ping down over the edge of a moun
tain and upon my brief sled of ti leaves
began the descent I went like -the
wind It seoinod as though my breath
would be taken away from me or that
I -would plunge head over heels to be
dashed to pieces among the trees be
low I thought of mj brake and drew
up on the tl leaves with all my might
and came up with a jerk that jarred
every bone in my body There I sat
looking downward almost perpendicu
lar held in position only by a few
leaves resting on the smooth slippery
grass but the sliding grass is nearly a
foot long and it is only after it has
been repeatedly slidden over and beat
en down that it approaches perfection
in the eyes of the Hawaiian small boy
and soinetiniQS leads to accidents
When for instance the thin layer of ti
leaves wears out beneath the slide a
gentle tug at the stalks parts the sled
and sends the slider whizzing down
ward in a most uncomfortable and un
graceful maimer all arms and legs
Lucky is the victim ofsuch an accident
if he is not stopped nu his downward
career by the trunk of a tree St

SCARED THE ROBBERS
Odd Incident in England In the Eight
eenth Century
For a time during the eighteenth cen
tury in England there was a lull in
the robbery industry owing to an odd
incident Shortly after the execution
of an English burglar named Elliston
a curious communication purporting
to have been written by him was put
into circulation Now as I am a dy
ing man it ran I have done some
thing which may be of good use to the
public I have left with an honest
man the only honest man I was ever
acquainted with the names of all my
wicked brethren the places of their
abode with a short account of the
chief crimes they have committed in
many of which I have been the accom
plice and heard tho rest from their
own mouths I have likewise set
down the names of those we call our
setters of the houses we frequent and
all of those who receive and buy our
stolen goods I have solemnly charged
this honest man and have received his
promise upon oath that whenever he
hears of any rogue to be tried for rob
bery or housebreaking he will look into
his list and if he finds there the name
of the thief concerned to send the
whole paper to the government Of
this I here give my companions fair
and public warning and hope they will
take it It is said the hint was so
effectual that for a long time pick
pockets and burglars in that part of
England went into panic strickeu re
tirement And this being so it fr just
as well they did not know that the let
ter was a clever forgery the work of
that prince of wits and humorists

Climatic Changes
There is plenty of evidence of the
very best sort which goes to prove that
not only Europe and North America
but the lands situated within the arc
tic circle must have enjoyed a tropical
climate The numerous fossil remains
found in those regions are those of
plants and animals which according
to the present state of our knowledge
must have lived under conditions now
found only in the equatorial belt Noth
ing is clearer than the fact that the
polar cold is steadily gaining on the
temperate and tropical zones and that
eventually the land will be all ice
fields
Donald Knew
Margaret aged ten was a beginner
in history Mamma she asked
what does behead mean
To Cut off a mans head dear
There was a moment of silent study
then another question
What does defeat mean mamma
Little Donald aged four was inter
ested
I know mamma was his logical
conclusion Defeat means to cut a
mans feet off Delineator
