Tho fourth day out tho passetigers began to h'.io'.v that nervous activity which is always to be seen on n shii about to make a port. There was tho bustle ami anxiety of the nervous wo man vim fears that something will happen to interfere with tho proper discharge of her luggage. Then there was tho luuu in a hurry, who walked tho deck impatiently, us if he thought ho could have driven the steamer at n greater speed if ho had been asked t: help. Ami the man whoso lngwr: must bo put oil' first was with us. Hut the most important of nil the univi-r.-al typos was the man w ho had been there li fore. Ho was here, there, every wher. Ho formed nuoof every group. Ho waylaid the lonely passenger and informed him that the nppearnueo of t!u water indicated our appro ick to t'.u islands. "There!" exclaimed a man who hnd been there before, point ing ahead. "There is the gem of tho earth!" A lia.y cloud could ho seen in the distance, tellir.g of the presence there if high mountains. "Mercy!" ejaculated th" ncrvou' woman. "Aro those mountains ul' volcanoes?" "Xo, mndain," blandly replied th: man who had been tiiu'o before, f;lad f an opportunity t; oiiee more instruct Ins audience. "Tho large volcanoes, of which you have doiibile.'s read, nri not on tho island of O.ihu, t iward whieh we am spec liuj. Two nro ci the island of Hawaii, t'.u largest ol the kingdom. Tho largest crater of all, though n. iw extiiu-t, is Haleaka'a, on Maui. Too mountains whieh you 10 J now were volcanoes long ago, but are no'Y covered with verdure, and bold, ready for tho hunter's ri.'le, plenty of bi.-asts."4 "(loudness gracious!" nnin ex claimed tho nervous woman. "Hou'l they swoop down on Honolulu and eat up tho inhabitants?" "Xo," replied tho man who had boon there before, apologetically. "They never pwoop, uitd t'uey eat noisily grass. They are will cattle whieh have probably escaped y6irs ago from '.h' plantations." "We are learning something," Enid Gordon, with a laugh. Wiunio smiled . "Wo shall know all about TToruv lulu," iho xaid, "It is better than going into a place an utter stranger." "There is Cocoa Head," said the man w ho had been there before. "See that promontory to the south? That is it. Now, in two hours, at this (peed, wo ought to neo llinmond Point, then Honolulu itself. .h, what a place that is! The gem of tlie footstool!" With strong glasses wo could dis cern trees and rocks and hills. Hero and there we could see white, shining houses on tho plantations. The man who knew all about it said he could i.'o moving (.'hiniimen, Portuguese and others working in the fields. Xo one el -e could, but, then, wo had not been there b'fore. Hut we were getting nearer very rapidly. "There'll Diamond Point!" shouted he of tho experience. "In three hoars more we will be iu Honolulu liny." " would like to nvail myself n! your knowledge of Honolulu," said i iordoii, to the man who had been I hero before.

T'.io man who knew it nil gave mi a withering glance, as th iiig'i my iut r fereuco was a dire-t usurp I'.to i of hi rights.

"I hopo ro, too," Paid Gordon; "but thero is a lurking doubt iu my mind, Mill, I can (to uo less thaii try it." "Get ready to go ashore," camo tho order, and wo went to our state, rooms to get ou traps in ijhai'o ful lauding. C IT APT LP. II. Winifred and I were met ftt tli wharf in Honolulu by Undo Thomas Vi'aiTingford, whoso gray head bobbed and v.h' sj kindly -yes beenmo suf fused with tears when he greeted us, thin'; it wns AYinnie's mourning dress that touched him most, reviving iu his mind memories of my departed f.iliier. He wrung my hand and called mo ".My boy! ' Then ho smothered Winnie with kisfes und folded her iu It i.i arms and patted Iiu- cheeks until she wept softly in sympathy. Hut we spent little time on Ike uock. liie!e Tom gavo hutue orders to his man, who acco-npntii -i. Iiiin, nnd our I ".'tgago was carried out to a wagon, which started oti before we were f.clriy over our greetings. Then ho le i r.i ton carriage, n low, comfortable rook uw.iy, and, taking the reins hiiusel:, drove away. I sat w ith I'nclo Tom on tho front seat, and AYiunie sat iu utatu behind. I'nclo Tom's horses were not of the fiery, prancing kind. They were more like himself, substantial, well-fed and capable of doing ii tre mendous amount of work. Around tho dock tho place did not look unlike other Southern ports. Thero was the narno dirt, tho snmu iiumficr of odors and the same crowd of idlers lying about oti tho walls or piles of freight. Thero wern Chinese, Portuguese and a sprinkling of Mexi cans. Among them thero wns ulso it number of good-natured-looking; peo ple of a dull copper color, who were, us I'nclo Torn informed us, types of the unlives of the islands. When i-o l:nd passed the blocks of ow buildings of the business ((Uurtcr, ivo turned into a broad, level street lined by houses both modern audoom toi talilo iu their aspect. "This is Kiii street, children," said Cnel.i Thomas. "It is not tho finest street in Honolulu, but it is iu botno respects the mo-1 important. Tho pu'a-e is on I hi : street." Of course, Winnie and I were nlivo v.iih inter.- i and were noting every thing and everylio.iy that we pinicl.

Plains cannot retch perfection unhss the conditions i growth are fa vorable, l! lines not follow that the soil must l e miiur.tlly rieh. but plants do not live upon soil. l!e.v live iu II, and partake of I lie food it contains. It therefore follows th:.. if the soil does Hot eiiitaiii Hie loo I the plain demands for growth and tho . vi lojimoiit of its frtllls, it must he supplied. 'The ques tion ns to the best kind of soil is nu ar bitrary one. Natural conditions must be accepted as we litnl litem, but It (bus not follow that naturally ttneon jretilal soil caiiti it be tn.ude In produce jtooil crops. 'I lie condition of the soil is of far proper importance than its character, nnd II is upon the former that success largely depends. A liv.-lv loam Is un doubtedly the best soil for n garden, llxperiett 'c and observation show con cliisively that many unproductive soils are such from lack of proper til lage. The very general opinion is that the difference in the cost of labor lo pro duce a crop is more than snilicicnt to pay for the immure used mi the sandy soil, win-re all the plant fund employed Is at once available. Tho delicate roots of the plants can easily p tietraie the sandy soil in every direction At the same time the soil is pressed (irmly iirnuud the routs. This is an impor tant consideration, as they tire so dol!-c.-ite thai they will immediately perish if expos, d lo tlie tiir.as is frequently Ihe ease iii heavy, poorly prepared soils. Another important consideration is Dial a greaier variety of vegetables can be j.'. row II on light soils than oil clay, .-md they w nl also be of better iliialily. There are but lew plant-; that camiot be site.essfnMy grown on light, sandy sods, while Here are many that cannot be induced to pel feel ther crops on b--tvy, wet. i lay soil. - .

Ther ;ne many lots which contain so much dirt, or arc from soft wood, which do not show as much ns I ills, but we are wi lling of good herd wood ashes. The market value of these elo litems near our Kosiorn shores is about live tind a bull' cents a pound for the phosphoric acid, nud live cents for the poiash. which is about Sl-I a ton for acid phosphor.', thirteen per ci tit. strong, and $' a ton for muriate of potash, fifty per cell!, neluol potash.
