Earth Closets.

Mr.. EDIToR--I have used the Is earth closet {"
system on my premises for the last twelve years
and l wish to aid your suggestion, in last weeks
paper, that this be employed as one measure of
sanitary relief aud reform throughout the city of
Honolulu.
1t is effective and may be very easily carried
into use. No machinery or specially constructed,
or patented apparatus, such as is advertised, is
needed.
Instead of a deep vault there should be such a
receiver as would be made from a half oil cask set
in the ground to within six inches of its edge, or a
strong box-in some soils the excavation would
retain its walls without a tub or box. The back
of the closet should be so arranged. by a hinged
door or fall. that the receiver can be reached by
the common long handled shovel. Within the
house or closet Il box Of earth and a tin SCOOP.
with which a pint or more of earth may be thrown
down by every person using the place. 1t needs
no automatic contrivmce to insure the application
of the earth. Any child old enough to go alone
can be taught. and oder persons need never for
get it.
There is no difficulty about removing the ac-
emulation. 1 have lever found a servant to OBJ
ject, for the mixture mas lost its ofense from the
absorbing and deodGizing action OF the earth,
and differs so little from other earth that it would
not be noticed if spread on a garden.
As for the supply Of earth to premises in the
close quarters of town. or when the soil which
might be dug is clayy or otherwise not suitable,
u single CARLOAD whith might be stored in a bin
of a few cubic feet, would serve on the premises
of an average family Xix months, perhaps a year;
the writer having eath at hand has never noted
the quantity consumed in any given time. l do
not speak of the methd of removing or sealing up
what nuisance is now stored in the town, for that
is something which must be done in whatever way
reform is made. From its costliness. the want of
water. and want of a place of discharge, it is very
unlikely we shall have sewers.
A great consideration to the use OF
earth rather than to visit for u system of sewerage
is, that it may be adopted by any family at once.
When it is tried it will be found so satisfactory
that the example will ,e followed in the neighbor-
hood and thus entir, sections of the town be
changed. What is dOIe voluntarily would give a
basis for the Board ofHealth to make it cOmpul-
sorry on all. and when hat is done there would be
provided a service ofcarts to supply earth at a
moderate price, and to remove what should be
taken away. Probably the latter would not re-
quire night work. ~

HOUSEHOLD RECIPES

AMBROSIA.-The ambrosia is made in a
deep, oiled nappy, with crust of Graham
-four mixed as for gems. Have cold water,
siit in the flour with one hand ard stir with
the other until little too stiff to settle fiat
Spread this half an inch thick on the bot
tom of the nappy, place sliced peaches on
this an inch deep, sprinkle on sugar and n
little -four, put batter at the sides of tho
dish and add moro fruit till it is at least
two inches deep. Then cover it thinly
with butter, and bake gently for an hour,
making sure that the juice does not run out
of the dish. Serve warm or cold; better
cold. For ambrosia and peach pic the fruit
may be used without pceling, provided the
skin is not very thick,
FALSE CnocoLATE.-For each person
brown good spoonful of flour light brown;
let a cup of milk and one of water come to
boil, whilst the Drowned -four is well mixed
with min, so that it runs freely and has no
Jumps in it; pour it slowly into the boiling
milk, stirring all the time; add sugar and
powdered cinnamon to taste, and let it boil
for ten minutes. Some add the yolk of one
or more eggs. This is healthy and nour.
ishing soup.
NICE DuMpLJNGs.-Lct a cup of milk
and half cup of butter come to boil drop
well sifted flour into il, stirring well till the
dough becomes loose take from stove put
in dish or pan. While cooling cut nice
stale wheat bread into small pieces, brown
in hot butter, and when the dough is cool
enough to add the eggs, add one one after
the other, working the batter hard (Ono
cannot tell exactly how many eggs it will
take; practice only will show. 1 generally
try the batter by dropping a spoonful into
boiling water. IF it goes to pieces, | add
more flour, but if the dumpling is too hard
add more eggs or little milk.) After
the batter is done, add the Drowned wheat
bread. Serve hot with tricasee.
NOoDLEs.-To one egg add spoonful
of fresh butter and little salt; work il
thoroughly with spoon, adding & little
flour at time until it can be kneaded
knead long time, taking care not to use
much flour. Roll thin as leaf, anG
dry for few minutes, but not near tho
stove; flour the leaves on both sides, roll
together, and cut very fine. They can be
cooked in beef soup; if you want to cook
them in milk to serve with fruit, cut the
noodles coarse. If you cook the noodles
in water, pour bread crums Drowned in hot
butter on them. You can make a mic,
dish by putting layers Of sliced ham between
the noodles Another nice, appetizing dish
is made by frying the remains of noodles
with cooked aud sliced Irish potatoes.

TIE BOND .DECIsIoN.-It is not t
definitely determined what course will be
pursued in reference to the bond decision.
We think the popular feeling is in favor of
accepting it as fnality. The counsel for
the State have filed petition before the
Supreme Court praying that the remitittur
to the Bond Court shall be stayed till they
can present argument in favor of an order
allowing them TO reargue the question of
the validity Of the Land Commission bonds,
a question having arisen in the decision on
that point upon which further argument is
desired 1t is supposed, too, that the hold
ers of those bonds which have been declared
null and void, or as resting upon an invalid
basis, will appeal to the United States Su-
prcmc Court. Such an appeal would lack
the strength of the original case, since tho
holders Of those bonds which have been
recognized would perhaps join the State or
at least be neutral
Another question in this connection is,
whether the Bond Court, without further
legislation, is empowered to act further in
the premises. 1t has been suggested that
that court is functus o6icio. But if this be
not true, the Judges thereof are in the
midst of their Circuit Court duties and can
not spare the time to attend to these extra
duties.-Nc,cber,y Ne,os.
