OFF FOR THE CAMP.

On Friday evening last the Honolulu
Rifles, composing the LIST Battalion
Hawaiian Volunteers, headed by the
Royal Hawaiian Band, left the Armory
and took up the mavch for Camp
Austin" at Waialae. The Battalion con-
sisted OF four companies of about twenty
men front, under the command of Major
II. f. Hebbard. A little after IL o'clock
the same evening, the boys reached their
destination, somewhat tired it is true,
but nevertheless brimful of fun and
ardOr, and with hearty will set about
making the camp comfortable and ship
shape. Their first rations were eaten
with as great relish as though they had
marched fifty miles instead of five. At
midnight the command were fast asleep,
and no sound disturbed the hour, but
the steady tread of the sentries as they
paced to and fro, or an occasional snore,
that showed how solidly enjoyable the
long walk had made sleep.

clearly the positions of the tents, etc,

sent out early Friday morning, under the
charge of Captain Wilder.
THE NEXT DAY.
On Saturday the active and real life OF
the soldier began. At 80 a. m. the
sunrise gun was fired, and the men fall
ing out upon their respective company
grounds, were divided into squads, and
set about policing the entire camp. Be-

AN OFFICIAL VISIT.
On Saturday morning, at about 10
O'Clock, His EXcellency the Minister of
Foreign Affairs visited the camp. and
received from the Guard as he entered
the gate, the salute due him in his ca
pacity as Minister of War. His Excellen-
cy remained all day. In the afternoon,
he witnessed the battalion drill; after
which the entire command marched be-
fore him in review. After this nothing
worthy of any particular note transpired
on Saturday, excepting a call to arms
made at IL 80 p. m. The men were
snugly sleeping in their quarters, when
several shots were fired in a direction
off from the camp, Immediately followed
by the long roll. In a minute the camp
was in a state OF confusion, men emerg-
ing from tents, and speeding, arms in
hand, to their respective companies. In
leSS Jlldh Twelve minutes from the nfSt
tap of the roll, the four companies, fully
armed and equipped for the emergency.

FIVE hundred feet away from their tents. |
OF course the alarm had been only |
sounded in order to attest the efficiency |
OF the men in case of need. The result |
OF course WAS very gratifying.
THE SABBATH.
Sunday, however, was the great day. |
The Rev. Mr.. Macintosh, having sig !
nihed his intention of holding divine !
services in the camp, brought the BOYS |
up TO a considerable pitch of excitement. |
The services were held in the grove inn
adjoining the guard tent. The
four companies under the command of
their respective captains, marched to
the grove, and after forming, broke
ranks and surrounded the table at which
the reverend gentleman officiated The
lccompaniments to the hymns were |
played by the Band under the leadership
If Prof. Berger. After the rendering OF

green meadow.
One day when | was in the height

cord around my neck, and | never
saw that beautiful meadow again, for

taken to very busy city, and was
left in large room where boxes of
all sorts of different animal were
brought. There remained for day
or two. One bright morning q rosy
checked, brawny-armed man came in
and demanded in rather q rough tone,
"Where is that kid that was brought
in here a few days ago." Then he
caught hold of the string and had me
away to the butcher pen. o. how

never tough, but is not especially
sweet. Porter house and sirloin are
both good, but no meat is good cut
from an old beef. A good marketer
must know how to select"
ITO select" Can't anyone buy
meat?" asked Arthur.
ooh yes, if anyone has the money,
but there is great difference in meat.
Some is much more economical than
other kinds. Good steak may be
often bought for fifteen cents, while
tender-loin is sometimes a dollar a
pound
"What does sirloin mean?"
asked Alice. "Now tenderloin | can
understand, but sirloin is such q queer
NAME"
III cannot certainly tell why this
particular steak is called sirloin,
said Mrs. Goodhart, "but L can tell
you a story which is interesting if not
proven true. Two hundred years
ago, Charles the Second was king of
England. He was called the merry
monarch, though only his favorites
had very merry time during his
reign. 1t has been recorded of him
that he never said a foolish thing and
did a wise one He was fond of
sport and good living, and was given
TO hunting as so many English kings
have been before and since. One
part of the ceremony of making a
knight was then, as now, the formal
striking on the back of the person to
be knighted with the flat side of the
sword, while he was kneeling. Rise,
Sir Arthur the king would say if the
name CHANGED to be Arthur. They
tell us that King Charles, one winter
night returning from the hunt with
his merry men found q table full of
good things fer the refreshment of
their tired bodies; and gratifed APP
petite so comforted and pleased the
king that he smote u huge loin of
beef-always dear to hungry En-
glishman-and declared that so noble
food should be knighted. Whether
he sad 'Rise'Sir Loin,' or Down Sir
Loin,' | do not know, but it has been
sirloin ever since"
81 wish it were true" said Alice
who is ardent and imaginative,
"Don't you think may be it is?''

BOYS RIGHTS.

wonder now If anyone,
In this broad land has heard
In favor of down trodden boys
One solitary word2
We hear enough of "Woman's rights"
And rights of workngmen,"
OF equal rights" and "nation's rights"
But pray just tell us when
Boys rights were ever spoken of?
Why, we've become so used
To being snubbed by everyone,
And sighted and abused,
THAT when one is polite to us,
We open wide our eyes,
And stretch them in establishment
To nearly twice their size
Boys seldom dare to ask their friends
To venture in the house;
1t don't come natural at all
To creep round like mouse.
And If we should forget ourselves
And make little noise,
Then ma or auntle sure would say,
ooh, my those dreadful boys"
The girls bang on the piano
In peace, but if the boys
Attempt a tune with fife and drum,
It's "Stop that horrid noiseW
"That horrld nolsow just think of it,
When sister never fails
TO make noise three times as bad
With everlasting "seales."
IBsutcd thus, we lose no time
In beating retreat;
So off we go to romp and tear
And scamper in the street.
To wonder that so many boys
Such wicked men become;
'TWere better far to let them have
Their plays and games at home.
Perhaps that text the teacher quotes
somctimes-"Trnin up Il child"-
Means only, train the little girls,
And let the boys run wild.
Butpaticnce, and the time shall come
When we will all be men.
And when it docs rather think
Wrongs will be rlghted then.

lit lacked but an n0ur or dinner
time, and the meat ordered from the.
market had failed to come. Mrs.
Goodhart was anxious. She could
not easily leave and go to the market,
and there was no one to send; for
the baby was asleep and Nora at the
washtub. She looked out anXiously.
No one was in sight except 8-year-old
Harry Lawrence. When Mrs. Good
hart spicd him happy thought struck
her. She stepped to the door.
Harry" she called, "ask your
mother if she will let you carry a note
to Alice for me-
Alice, Mrs. Goodhart's 12-year-old
daughter was in school a half dozen
blocks away, Today she would reach
home at half-past eleven because it
was examination day. So Mrs, Good
hart hastily wrote her little note:
"Dear Alce-Stop at Mr.. Lamb's
on your way home and get two pounds
of sirloin steak.
"Your mother, GooDHART."
Presently Harry came running in,
saying he could go, and in good time
the steak appeared in the hands of
Alice, and was duly served.
That evening, when they all sat in
the sitting room after tea, Alice sud-
denly asked:
Mamma, what is sirloin steak?"
"Sirloin steak is what we ate for
dinner today" said papa, with a
twinkle in his eye.
Don't you know what steak ISL"
asked Arthur, who is fourteen, and
sometimes thinks he knows a good
deal. Everyone knows what steak
is"
"Your sister doesn't know very
WELL" said mamma quietly, "sup-
pose you tell her."
"Why, steak-steak is-sueak!
Steak is meat" declared Arthur,
looking confused, and realizing his
failure.
~ could say that" exclaimed
Alice. 81 don't think | know much
about steak though"
"Steak," said Mrs. Goodhart,
wisely refraining from smile at Ar
thurs discontinue, sis meat cut from
any animal in slices suitable for broil-
ing, Lamb, venison and veal make
nice steaks, but beef is more econom-
ical and nourishing. 1t furnishes
four kinds of steak, round, porter
house, sirloin and tenderloin. The
last two are cut from the loin."
"What is the loin?" asked Arthur,
beginning to look interested.
"If you will get the dictionary and
look for the word beef, | will show
show you, if you need showing" an
swered Mrs. Goodhart.
Soon light and a dark head were
bending over Webster. Two pairs of
eyes saw an Illustrated defnition-a
COW with various lines drawn from
right to left and up and down upon
it. One line was drawn across from
head to tail, equally dividing the
body, and the upper half was cut
into four pieces. The children soon
found the loin without help.

How to Prepare Piums

Damsons and plums are delightful for
preserves, relishing longer than sweeter
fruits. Plum cider from dead ripe fruit
is finer than any beverage known except
grape juice. If any one wishes to try it.
a wooden lemon -squeezer will extract the
juice from small quantity. An easy
way of keeping plums In the tirm-heshed
stage is to cut the stones out, drain on
cheese cloth and pack In dry sugar; two
inch layer In the jar, then one layer of
plums, well covered an inch deep in su-
gar, plums again. and so on till the jar Is
full, the top being sugar. Cover with
cloth and a stone lid for week or ten
days, then I'LL up with sugar as the fruit
shrinks. There is no loss, as the sugar is
always good, and the fruit keeps remark
ably. No fruit dries better. Choice
dried plums are made by stoning the fruit
and heating through in a weak syrup.
One pound Of sugar to q pint of water
for four pounds of plums. They stand
in the syrup, not quite boiling, half an
hour, tten stand In it, in dish, one night
and have the scalding syrup poured over
them twice day for three days to soften
them, when they are drained and dried on
plates In mild oven. Few preserves are
finer than this fruit dried with such care.

Summer Planting Strawberries.

For amateur purposes, where some at
tention can be given to watering, a very
good crop of Strawberries can be obtained
next year from plantations made this
summer. To this end it is as well to set
about it as soon as healthy young plants
can be obtained. This will generally be
pretty soon after the strawberry season IS
over. There is not much art or mystery
about the whole business. Almost any
ordinary garden soil will grow them, and
Il bed of one or two hundred plants gives
ample for the family and few left over
for less fortunate neighbors. The best
of all plants for the purpose are young,
vigorous runners, to be lifted with all the
roots possible and to be transferred to
their new soil without any drying of the
young roots. This, with a watering once
or twice, if dry spell sets in, is about all
that will be required If a small pot Is
set into the ground where the runner will
just strike 1t so as to root fairly into the
pot filed with good soil, when this has
taken place, there is no more trouble In
transplanting than there is with a young
greenhouse plant set out for the flower
garden.
The better way for amateur purposes as
here spoken of, where good crop is
wanted Lext year, is to set them about
nine inches apart. They then form a
pretty continuous row, If they do well,
clothe themselves well with foliage,
which, with line of straw on each side,
placed there before the fruit ripens, will
keep the fruit free from sand and grit;
and, our word for it, those who try will
have no cause to regret 1t, about next
June or July.-Prdirie Farmer

Salt for M oths.

For moths salt is the best exterminator.
The nuns in one Of the hospital converts
have tried everything else without success
and their experience is valuable, as they
have so much clothing of the sick who go
there, and strangers, when dying there,
often leave quantities of clothing, etc.
They had room full of feathers, which
were sent there for pillow making, and
they were in despair. as they could not
exterminate the moths, until they were
advised to try common salt. They sprink-
led it around, and in week or ten days
were altogether rid of the moths. They
are never troubled now. In heavy velvet
carpets sweeping them with salt cleans
and keeps them from moths, as particle $
of the salt remain in the carpets and cor
ners. Salt Is not hurtful to any one, and
has no bad smell Here is little hint
add, which, perhaps, every one does not
know; For cleaning, wash-basins, baths,
etc use the same thing, common dry
salt Rub little of the salt with your
fingers on the basin. Often a sort of
scum is noticed in the basins In marble
washstand in the bathroom the salt takes
it OFF easily and leaves the basin shining
and dclean.-Pitadeiphia Press.

Prevention OF Tuberculosi

Referring to the report Of the patholo'
gsts of the New York board of Health
published in our last issue. on "Consump-
tion as an Infectious Disease Science
says;
Drs. Prudden, Biggs and Loomis desire
especially to emphasize the following
facts; % that tuberculosis IL n distinct
ly preventablc disease; (2) that 1t is not
directly inherited; and (3) that it is ac-
qured by the direct transmission of the
tubercle baoilli from the sick to the
healthy, usually by the means Of the dried
and pulvrrizod sputum floating us dust in
the air.
The measures then which are suggestt
for the prevention of the spread OF tuber-
culosis are % the security of the public
against tubercular meat and milk, attained
by system of rigid official inspection of
cattle; (2) the dissemination among the
people of the knowledge that every tuber-
cuiar person may be a source of actual
danger to his associates IL the discharges
from the lungs are not Immediately des
troyed or rendered harmless and (3) the
careful disinfection of rooms and hospital
wards that are occupied or have been oc-

Air Famine


DR.. Felix Oswald, in recent article in
Il medical jonrnal, shows that fifty-iYe out
Of 100 white children die before they
complete seven years of life, but he as
serts that hardly i've of that number are
born with germs of an early death, and
that two-thirds of the remainder perish
from want OF life-air. 1t is too common
ly assumed that child's lungs are weak to
stand ordinary fresh air to judge by the
precautions that are taken to shut up
every possible avenue through which pure
air can enter room in which it is kept,
There is perhaps no subject pertaining TO
hygiene upon which parents and nurses
act so ignorantly, or so pertinaciousiy re-
fuse TO be instructed, as in this vital nee
essity of fresh air to every human being,
young or old, sick or well. 1t Is all the
more needful to the delicate child or the
ailing adult than to others. il that Is con-
Ceivable when it is SO certainly essential
to the health of all. The abuse, however
is more noticeable in the case of young
children and infants especially, who are
entirely under the control of others in the
matter, and suffer from their lack of judS-
ment or fatally mlsdirected prudence
Dr Oswald remarks Boys in knee
breeches often manage to remedy the evil
by dint Of strategy, while their petticoat-
ed juniors have to stand the brunt of pa
ternal infatuation. Every form of dis
ease is aggravated by the influence of i'm
pure air" Human beings can live long
time without food, but without air they
cannot live six minutes. Their vitality is
proportionally diminished by the lack of
pure air, and the substitution of air that
ls vtiated and inadequate to supply the
sustenance required from 1t. One cause
Of mischief in this direction is the con
fusion in many minds of the relations of
heat and cold to pure or impure air.
Rooms are shut up tightly to keep in the
heat, and some economical but obtuse
people cannot possibly see the use of hay
ing warm fire with the window or door
open. 1t looks to them like piece of ex-
travagance, and '1f you want the door
open what do you want fire for?' seems
to them question incapable of reason
able answer. Hence airfamne Is not in
hlcted on babies alone, but is frequently
made TO curse the individual and the
family through life.-G0od HouSekecptng
