The Kind of Wife You Want.

You say you demand domestic
useful woman as your wife. l
that is so, marry Nora Mulligan
your laundress' daughter. She
wears cowhlde shoes, in guiltles!
of corsets, never had a sick day il
her life, takes in washing, goes out
house cleaning, and cooks for 6
family of seven children, he1
mother and three section men who
boarded with her. I don't think
she would marry you, because Con
Reagan, the track walker is her
style of man.
Let US examine into your quail.
fications as q model husband after
your own matrimonial ideas, my
boy. Can you shoulder a barr ]
of -four and carry it down cellar?
Can you saw and split ten cords of
hickory wood in tue Fall so as to
have ready fuel all Winter? Can
you spade up a half acre of ground
tor kitchen garden? Do you
know what will take the lime taste
out of the cistern, and can you
patch the little leak in the kitchen
roof? Can you bring home pane
of glass and a ward of putty and
repair damages in the sitting-room
window? Can you hang some
cheap paper on the kitchen? Can
you fix the front gate SO 1t will not
sag? Can you do anything about
the house that Con Reagan can?
My dear, dear boy, you see Nora
Mulligan wants a higher type of
true manhood. You expect to hire
men to do all the mans work about
the house, but you want your wife
to do anything any woman can do,
Believe me my son, th&t nine
tenths of the girls who play the
piano and sing so chsrmlngly,
whom you, IN your limited know
ledge, set down as mere butterflies
of fashion, are better fitted for
wives than you are for a husband.
If you want to marry a first class
cook and experienced house
keeper, do your counting in the
intelligence Office. But if you
want a wife, marry the girl you
love, with dimpIed hands and
face like the sunlight, and her
love will teach her all these things,
my boy, long before you have
learned one-halt of your own les
son,-Bob Burdette, In Burlington
Hawkeye.

How to Plant Seeds.

Starting seeds IN boxes IN the
house is not always a success, but |
find there is a method of doing so
that will meet the appreciation OF
those troubled with seeds long in
terminating and damping off. 1
heat soap stones quite hot twice a
day and place them under the
boxes. Bricks or fiat stones will
do. The seeds, under this treat
ment, spring up quite as quickly
as in hotbed, aud seem to do as
finely. The seeds that 1 sowed,
covering only with sand, never
allowing 1t to dry, came up sooner
than where sod was used. 1t is
admirable for pansy seed, as it
takes the place OF moss as a shade.
L never succeeded before IN start
ing them earlier than ten days,
and often fifteen, after sowing. A
shallow box, about two inches
deep, one foot long and SIX inches
wide, is useful for starting all
kinds-of seeds and easily handled,
and can be placed upon the reser-
voir at night, which Is better than
a stone, as it will retain heat until
nearly morning. Turning a box
over it on a cold night is an i'm
provement.-Vick's.

This week has been a good one
for the ice factory, and it has been
doing thriving business. The
mercury may rise until it bursts the
bulb on the thermometer but the
ice man will be the last one to answer
in the affirmation when some one
perpetrates the old chestnut, ''is it
hot enough for you?"

New Coin for the u. s.

Under the authority of an act of
Congress approved September 26,
1890, the Director of the Mint has
prepared new designs for silver
coins which have been approved
by the Secretary of the Treasury.
The designs are intended for half
dollars, quarters and dimes. On
the diverse face of the coin is a
female head representative of Lib
erty, looking to the right with an
olive wreath and Phrygian cap on
the back of the head; on a fllet
over the front of the head is the
word "Liberty," and over the head
at the top of the coin "In God we
trust" Around the medallion are
thirteen stars and at the bottom
the date of coinage. On the re-
verse side appears the seal of the
United States, as adopted in 1892;
an eagle with open wings, on the
breast a shield argent, six pallets
gules, chief azure holding in the
claw an olive branch, representing
peace, and in the sinister claw a
sheaf of thirteen arrows, represent
ing war. In it's beak the eagle
holds a scroll containing the motto
"E Pluribus Unum," unsigned
above and about the head with
thirteen stars, environed by clouds.
This will be the design of the
halves and quarters. The dime, on
the diverse, in place of the stars,
will have "United States of Amer
ica." "In God we trust" will be
omitted from the dime. The re-
verse of the dime will be the same
as at present in use. The reverse
of the halves and quarters is a re-
turn to the design of almost the
first coinage of the country.-Ex.

HUI KALAIAINA.
A Rousing Meeting at Robinson's
Hall Last Night.
Independence Day to be Appropriately
Observed by the Hui.

The Hui Kalaiaina met again at
the Robinson Hall on Friday night
The attendance is improving. Pre-
sident J. A. Kahoonei presided The
minutes of the last meeting were
read and approved.
Mr.. F. j. Tesla moved that some
thing be done to celebrate November
28th which was Independence Day.
Carried.
Mr.. Kahoonei explained that the
Hui Kalaiaina would observe the
day in this manner: On Saturday
morning, November 28th, at 10 A.
NJ, a procession consisting of conn
try delegates and members of the
Hui Kalaiaina will march from the
Robinson Hall out to Thomas
Square. A special programme had
been arranged. At the conclusion,
the procession will march back to
their hall where light refreshments
will be served. Several speakers
will give addresses. Hon. A. Rosa,
and Mr.. F. J. Tesla will give brief
outlines of the history of the day.
In the afternoon, delegates from the
Hui Kalaiaina will be banqueted at
Eva.
Mr.. Tesla said that he rejoiced
| that his motion was carried. Al
though it passed by small majority
vet he was satisfied that it passed. 1t
would have produced untold agony
in his inmost soul if his motion had
been discarded by the meeting.
More than that, he would have con
cluded that those present were de-
void Of patriotic feelings for the day
that gave them independence
liberty. That is the day on which a
Hawaiian may raise his head with
pride and say: On this day I gained
my liberty. He urged those present
not to depend on the empty contri-
buttons (money and eatables) pub
lished fn the IA Leo several months
ago. The IA Leo has nothing to do
with the nations independence. The
responsibilities of the proper and
improper observance of that great
national day devolve on the Hui
Kalaiaina. Do not rely on Bush and
Wilcox in this matter.
The President here announced
that delegates from the Hui Kalai-
alma and representatives of the Hui
Kalaiaina from the other islands
would meet at their hall on Monday
evening, November 23d. Outsiders
would not be admitted. He also
requested intending candidates for
representatives and mobiles for the
next election to present their names
to him during next week so that he
might bring them before the meet
ing next Friday evening.
Mr.. j. L. Kaulukou said that the
Hui Kalaiaina had really no plat
form. The new Liberal party had a
platform already. IF it is the sense
of the meeting to adopt the same
platform, we'll and good.
Mr.. S. @. Kapono, president OF the
Maui Hui Kalaiaina, said that he
was greatly surprised to know that
the Central Hui Kalaiaina had no
platform. The Maui branch had a
platform which was sent to him two
years ago, at the same time that he
received his commission as presi-
dent. With that same platform he
fought and defeated the candidate
of the Reform party.
The old platform was adopted and
the meeting then adjourned.
