We would add that this plan worked well
except that a no small quantity Of sugar
was lost by its cliuging to the surface Of
the belt, and being carried back to the rear

We remind our readers that this gentleman
gives his entertainment in Honolulu this Satur-
day night at the Music Hall. He has been be-
fore the public so long, and his success has been
so great in London and indeed all over the Uni
TED Kingdom as well as the Australian Colonies,
that il Is hardly necessary for US to add any word
Of recommendation Of his remarkable perform
ance. \ critique which appeared in the London
Daily Telegraph on his entertainment ct the
Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, concludes with this
eulogistic sentence. The loud and genuine
laughter Of the audience, coupled with their
plaudits, mingIe with our thoughts as we pen
these comments. When our readers are informed
the songs are all Mr.. Aaccabeis composition,
and revert to the pleasure he affords, they Will
agree with Us that he has 10 near rival In his pro
fession. The applause bestowed upon his per
form5nce was most enthusiastic, and well worthy

Culture of Oranges and Strawberries.

\ correspondent Of the Fruit Record says {:
An experiment made last year by myself may
not come amiss at this time with those who grow
strawberries. 1 procured half a hogshead, flie,l
it with rain water and put into it one-quarter
pound Of nitrs. When the strawberry plants
were t,ossomiug out 1 gave them q sprinkliugo Of
the solution at evening twice q Seek until the
fruit was nearly ripe. The result was douile

was applied 10 where none was applied
3. f. Lelong, foreman at B.. f. Clark's Yale
Orange Grove at Orange, brought 10 the Tinles
Office yesterday a number Of oranges, among
which were Wilson's Best, seedlings, and KOu-
ahas-aI bright, fresh-lCOkiug fruit, and free
from smut. The oranges We're brought not as
samples Of the fruit (althcUGh they are ineG,
but to show the effect Of spraying the leaves
with whale oil soap. Mr.. Lelong said that the
smut on the oranges vas caused bE the eN-
crement OF the black scale bat the red scale
does not produce smut, aud that while the brown
scale docs not produce IL, the insect i very rare.
The result Of the spraying IS that the fruit Is
generally clear and bright, and Is not Injured in
the least. Occasionally, however, there remains
on the fruit Il small dark discoIoraticn, which Is
probably caused by concentration on that parti-
cular spot Of the potash IN the soap. These dis
GolOrations are very rare and are not objection
able in comparison with the smut. On the bright
est Of the fruit imported from Cuba, the Sand
wich Islands and other tropical sections these
spots are occasionally noticed.
The trees in MIR. Clark's grove were sprayed
IN August, as an experiment. Two Applications
were necessary, and all parts OF the fruit were
not touched by the first spraying, aud conse-
quently all the insects were not killed. The
whale oil soap water, IN IT'S operation, seems to
kill the insect; the smut rising in s crust from
the fruit, by the action Of the sun and wind,
and gradually taking of. The solution, as used
on MIR. Clark's trees, were three-fourths Of .
pound of the soap to q gallon of water. MI.
LelOng regards the whale oil soap as superior TO
sulphur, the fruit being more efficiently cleaned
and the ayar nnf hrnCr,i-rr r1Ccrad &C e 81
to be the case in using sulphur. A careful IN
vestigation OF the merits of whale oil soap in
this use is of great interest to Southern Cali
fornia orchsrdists.-Lo angeles Times.

President Arthur and Chief Tom.

While President Arthur is having a good time
in Florida, he is evidently looking out for the
main chance. At least we judge that he is trying
to capture the entire Indian vote in the coming
presidential struggle if we may credit the follow
ing description of the dress worn on the occa-
sion of his receiving Tommy Tigertail n Semin-
ole chief who called on him accompanied by his
squaw, her sister and n number Of papooses.
The Sun correspondent says "He looked like
the sign of a Baxter street secondhand clothing
shop below nothing. A gay-colored shawl was
bound in folds tightly around his head. He
seemed top heavy With II, or as though he was
carrying a red tub on his scalp. Next there was

from his neck. 4 brass watch chain dangled
from the vest pocket, and a belt, from which
hung an old bayonet s%cHbbard, bound his cloth

The Count de ChambJrd.

The Count de Chambord, whose death is again
reported, was the head OF the elder branch of
the Bourbons, and was born in Paris in Septem-
Der 30, 1920. He was the son of Prince Charles
Ferdinand d'Artois, DHc de Berri, who was as
sassinated in March, 1920, and of the Princess
Of the two Sicilies, the famous Duchesse de
Berri. THE child Of Miracle as he was called,
the castle Of that name, which was bought for
him by public subscription. In 1S43, when ain
exile in London, he made q kind of political
debut, claiming the crown OF France, and hold
ing a sOlt Of regal court. In 1916 he married
the Princess Maria Theresa, eldest daughter Of
the Duke Of Modena, but there has been no IS
sue. On the fall of the empire, after the capitu-
lation Of Sedan, he addressed Il grandiloquent
proclamation to the French people eXhOrting
them TO rally round him, and in 1871 he sent
another proclamation to all the governments of
Europe, containing Il protest against the bomb
nrdment Of Paris. On the Sth OF May the same
year he issued a manifesto in which he sought
to dispel the popular prejudices against the
traditional monarchy, and concluding with the
celebrated phrase, THE word rests with France;
the time with God Two months afterward he
assumedf for the first time. in a public document,
the tile of King. II 1873 he was acknowledged
by the Count de Paris the head of the ROYAL
House Of France, aud great hopes were raised
among the adherents of the monarchy OF the
speedy restoration Of Henry V TO the throne of
his ancestors. But these hopes were as quickly
dispelled by the Count himself, who in a letter
to the Count de Chesuelong expressed opinions
so reactionary in their character as to render his
restoration impracticable. Since then he has
issued various maniiestoes, all harping on the
harmless delusion that he was indispensable 10
France, and that his succession to the throne
was essential to her good government, and the
happiness OF her people.-ErchaHge.
