Which Royalties Are Demanded.
There Is no other industrial pursuit
than agriculture which is SO burdened
with alleged improvements for which
patents have been secured. The farm

ties from an endless variety Of people
who demand money for the use Of de-

variety of simple tools and devices
which are used by farmers; and
even methods of pruning, laying
down trees and vines for winter
protection, and now an old manner Of
making drains, have been patented and
the use of them is denied 10 the public.
The worst of it is that tho majority of
these claimants are farmers themselves
and do their best to tax their brother
farmers without any adequate return
being made, and moreover II causes and
encourages litigation and wastes hard

needs reforming, and farmers should

Earthquakes in Japan.
According to an official statement 4

According TO an official statement is-
sued by the Japanese Government
here occurred five hundred and fifty
three earthquakes during the nine
years and six months preceding Decem-
ber, 1854, averaging one earthquake for
every six days and six hours. This
must, however, refer 10 the capital and
the surrounding districts only, and earth
quakes of great violence can alone be
counted, for Prof. Milne was able to
trace an average of an earthquake per
day in Nagasaki, in the extreme south
of the japanese archipelago. The Off
cial statistics, on the other hand, may
possibly be complied from the returns
of local officials all over the country,
in which case only those shocks
which caused loss Of life or damage
to property would be included. If this
hypothesis is correct, we should have an
average of more than an earthquake per
week, which was SO violent that it
caused injuries to life or property
sufficiently serious to attract the atten-
ton of the local authorities, and, in
their Judgment, to require report
to the central government. -Natare.

LOADED CIGARS.
The Latest Device Invented for the Bene-
1T Of senseIess "Joiters."


'Loaded" cigars, as instruments Of
mi~th-provoking torture, are likely to
come into more general use among
practical jokers on account Of new
method Of manufacture which lessons
the danger of the explosions. A small
cartridge Of powder, inserted in the mid
die of cigar, was able to furnish a
large amount of hilarity, but 1t was
likely to damage the eycsight of the un-
suspecting smoker who had been selected
ms victim by the iokers. Serious acci-
dents, followed by suits for damage,
made the old style "loaded" cigar
unpopular. When man who had
been known to indulge in fun at
the expense of his friends offered cigar
of the finest brand to an acquaintance
he was obliged to answer such questions
as "Will it go off?n or (Which way
shall point it?" A man with repu-
tation as Joker could keep a box Of
cigars open in his Office with safety.
His friends would be sure to ihink that
articles left exposed in such tempting
way were dangerous to fool with.
Recently some manufacturer has
adopted method of o "lading" cigars
of a certain brand with chemical cart
ridge which takes fire soon after the
weed is lighted There is no
sudden explosion which skaters the
wrapper and sends fragments Of burn
ing tobacco in all directions, but from
the end of the cigar stream of fire
shoots out to u distance of about three
feet in direct line. 1t makes man
look for few seconds as If he were a
a gas tank and held piece of broken
gas-pipe in his mouth. The man is in
no danger so long as he keeps still and
lets the cigar sputter away. To hold
the weed firmly in the teeth at such a
moment is better test of mans
nerve than TO hang on to the end Of a
burning Roman candle. The chief dan
ger to be feared is that some man may
drop a cigar and start II eonllagration IL
he attempts to smoke indoors.--N Y

themselves with all the animal food they

ARTHURs KINDNESS OF HEART.

There is no doubt that many of
the little things done by Gen. Ar
thur had more to do with his popuy
larity in Washington than his acts
as public officer. He was not
without simple regard for the poor
and humble, the unfortunate and
helpless, that was captivating. 1t
was not shown Ostentatiously, but it
did not escape observation. And,
at the Soldiers Home, where he was
spending part of the summer in the
cottage near the central building, in
which the inmates of the institution
eat and sleep, he made firm friends
OF the veterans. One day a poor
fellow, whose mind had broken
under disease, wandered into the
dining-room while the President was
at dinner with his family. The SER
wants were Mortified, and were dis
posed TO eject the intruder IN q
rough way. Gen. Arthur put them
aside, got up, talked kindly to the
harmless lunatic, and personally
guided him ont OF the house and to
the care of Que of the associates.

Grants Patient Suffering.

"When did Grant realize the fact
of his approaching death?"
cit was at DR.. Douglas office, in
New York. He was alone with DR..
Douglas and myself. Grant had
just had an examination of his
throat, and he asked DR.. Douglas if
he could assure him that his trouble
would not develop into a cancer.
Douglas told him that he could not
assure him of this fact, but that he
hoped he might be able to cure him.
Gen. Grant then said: IF you think
thus, DIR. Douglas, there is no hope
for me- Soon after this Grants
carriage came and we went away.
AS we drove off he told me not to
say anything to the family as to
what DIR. Douglas had said.
Throughout his whole sickness Gen.
Grants family never knew how
much pain he suffered. From the
time of his sickness till his death, i
was not two hours from him. Many
nights he would walk the floor all
night. When the family would ask
him in the morning how he rested,
he would say pretty well,' and
would try to appear cheerful. He
had the most terrible pain all the
time, and | don't think he had a
moments cessation of pain daring
those last months. He felt greatly
relieved when he had finished his
book and his happiest days were
those just before his death. During
his whole sickness he never grew
irritable or lost his temper. He
was the kindest man / ever knew
and he had u great love for his
family. Mrs. Grant called him
Ulysses and she was very fond of
him. He always called her Mrs.
Grant, and he was certainly one of
the best of husbands. ."-Harrison,

this bird back in the State, and had
travelled about twenty. miles TO pre-
sent it to the President. He was
tired and dusty, had waited anxious
ly in the broling April sun for two
hours, and now, us he struggled to
be first, he was unceremoniously
thrust back by an otiicious white
man who came forward. Gen. Ar
thur read it all in the black boys
face. He stepped close to the edge
of the deck, called the boy to him,
asked him about the eagle, and how
and where he caught it. Then, in a
delightfully."- polite and gracious
manner, he thanked the boy, eX-
planned to him how difficult it would
be for him to accept the present,
and declined it with us much appa-
rent sincerity of regret as he could
have shown to anybody. He shook
hands with the boy, whose face

A HORRIBLE RACKET.

EDITOR BULLETIN You have
done good public service by CEN
suring and denouncing the horrible
racket of last Friday night, and its
authors. ! read your article with
pleasure; it has my most hearty en-
dorsement, and / think every de-
cent citizen feels the same as ] do.
i am not one of those who would re-
strain people from a little hilarity.
Just the contrary, i am quite willing
that everybody should feel happy
and jolly OF a Christmas Eve. But
| do feel strongly opposed to turning
natural paradise into pande-
monium. And that is what was done
last Friday night. If the tumult had
ceased before midnight, ! could
have forgiven the guilty disturbers
of the peace. But to begin with the
setting of the sun, and keep up the
discordant noises until daylight, is
more than | can reflect on, even now
it is past, with composure. Surely
the authorities have the power to
prevent repetition of the same next
Friday night. If they have not, or
do not attempt to exercise it, / for
one shall certainly feel justified in
using means TO secure rest and sleep
for my family and myself.

A NUISANCE.

Complaints have, from time TO
time, appeared in the columns of the
BULLETIN respecting the deposit of
refuse from the manufacture of poi,
within city limits. There certainly
has been less ground for complaint
on this score of late than formerly.
The officers of the Board of Health
have exertcd themselves TO remedy
the evil complained of, and simple
justice requires it to be said that
improved results have followed. Not
long ago, one could not walk or
drive through certain parts of the
city without his olfactories being
offended by pestilential efiluvia
from heaps of dccaying taro skins.
This state of things has changed for
the better, and now the eye sees and
the nose smells less of what is dis
agreeable from this cause. But the
evil has not been entirely abated,
and the city is not altogether free
from this nuisance. There is, at
least, one deposit of decomposing
taro refuse. in an exposed position,
emitting an unpleasant odor, within
city limits. 1t is near Smith
bridge, on the Palama side, close to
the path leading from Beretania to
King street. The pile is so large
that it can be easily seen, and the
odor is so strong that it reaches a
considerable distance from the
source. The existenv, CT this dee
post of corruption in n populous
meighborhood is great discomfort
10 the people, and a menace to their
health. What can be done about it! =!
