The well bred, well read American lady,
be she girl or woman, requires only the
protection which her own refinement and
common sense provide from the men of her
nation, and needs the intervention of no
chaperon to, insure respectful demeanor.
In fact, the chaperon institution is consid-
cred by many cultured people an insult to
the true womanhood of the American girl
and to the honor of her fellow men.

Bran Water Will Clean Curtains.

The soft, pretty Madras curtains which
lend themselves so readily to graceful
effects are discarded by some housekecpers
because they are so readily soiled, and, it
is supposed, are not easily cleansed. Bran
water without soap is a perfect bath for
these draperies. Use a wooden pailful of
bran to a wash boiler of water. Let it boil
half an hour or more, strain part of it. and
use for washing the curtains; let the rest
continue to boil, then strain it and use for
rinsing water. Shake the wrinkles out of
the curtains as much as possible and hang
them up to dry.

OCEANS OF ICE WATER.

Tho Amount OH Ice Used by the Govern
nent Employees at Washington.
'The amount of ice consumed by the
departmental in Washington is enormous
in the aggregate" said a big dealer in
the article to Washington Star re-
porter. "At the Treasury building alone
a ton and half of ice is delivered every
morning for the days consumption.
Each room, you see, has it's water cooler,
or at least, a pitcher, which must be
kept filled with cold drink from nine a.
m. to four p. m. The ice is delivered
in great blocks from carts at the door,
and the messengers chop it up into
pieces, fill buckets with the Jumps and
carry the buckets all over the building,
distributing to each pitcher or cooler it's
proper supply. In the cellar there arc
big refrigerators, which are filled with
reserved stock. Nothing is put in
these refrigerators except ice, the clerks
not even being allowed to keep bottled
beer in them for noontide refreshments.
''1t is the same way with all the other
departments. The War, State and Navy
together use about as much as is con-
sumed in the Treasury building. But it
is the Department of the Interior that is
the great devourer of ice. In the Pen
sion Office and the main building of the
department. together from five to six
IONS are used every twentyfour hours.
The post-offlce gobbles up twelve hun
1red pounds day. However, you must
remember that these quantities are al
ways variable. In summer much more
COOS than. in winter, and, if the hot
season is unusually long or intense, we
people who. take the contracts are apt
to find them far'from profitable.
each de partment makes it's own con-
tract for ice. Bids are advertised for
annually and the dealer who offers a
supply for the following year at the
lowest rate gets the job. 1t is, to Ger
tain. extent, a gamble, inasmuch as no
definite amount of ice is agreed upon.
The contractor receives so much money
for providing a department with all the
frozen water that it requires, whatever
this quantity may be. Taking all the
departments together, with their
branches, it is probable that they con-
sumo about twenty-four thousand
pounds of ice daily, averaging the year
round. This makes total annual con-
sumption of good deal over four thou
and TONS"

Hon. ]. E. Bush Acquitted of
Libel.

On Monday, Oct. 9th the irst case on
the Supreme Court calendar Tor October

PENDANTS paper OF June S, 1891, the
statement that MIR. Wundenberg felt
sore after being turned out OF the Post
Office and was occupied in fomenting

HILo NOTES.

From the Volcano, reports have been
received that the new hotel is completed,
with the exception of finishing touches
by the painters, and nearly all the work
men have returned to Honolulu via Kau
or this port. The Hotel presents very
line appearance, and some Of the recent
visitors claim that it surpasses anything
OF the kind in Honolulu or on the islands.
The contractor, Mr.. George Howard,
will return to Honolulu next week, either
by the Hall or the Claudine.
The sulphur steam has been brought
4 distance OF over eight hundred feet in
a wooden pipe into the bath-house ad-
joining the Hotel, and the steam is also
utilized In cooking and heating water.
When furnished with the new furni-
ture and billiard-table expected from San
Francisco, the Hotel will present as at
tractlYe an appearance inside as it now
does outside.
The road to the volcano makes very
slow progress, and people here have lost
all hope of seeing it Completed Tor many
months, perhaps years, to come.
But, worst OF all, the lower section OF
this road, between Hilo and the Half
way House, is being destroyed by the
wheels OF heavy wagons loaded with
wood, which cut deep ruts in it, and, in
places, have broken down the retaining
wall. If this thing goes on much longer
the work OF reconstruction will cost as
much as the original work. There is
nobody to look after the road.
Ben Hogan lectured in the native
church during his stay here, and was
very abusive on Mr.. and Mrs. Judge
Lyman, because he was not allowed the
use of the foreign church, which, from
all accounts, was very properly closed to
him.
A report comes from the Volcano
House that this same tourist saw fit,
while there. to disfgure the record-book
with language which ought to be re-
moved from its pages by the manager,
or whoever has charge of the Hotel.
Some years ago, number of vandal
tourists took to cutting out illustrations
and accounts OF visits to the crater,
which were not only interesting but very
valuable records of the past, as seen by
the writers. This was promptly stopped,
and the record book placed under lock
and key, which will have TO ne done
again probably.

MORE SALT THAN THE
DEAD SEA.

\ sample OF the water of the salt lake
OF Ala Paakai has been recently ana
USED in the laboratory OF Oahu College,
with results of popular as well as scien-
tific interest. The water which, in dry
weather, deposits salt abundantly, is Of
course saturated brine, yet it differs
essentially from the brine obtained by
eTaporating to saturation ordinary sea-
water. The difference is strikingly
shown by merely mixing the two clear
fluids, when a copious deposit imme-
diately forms OF sulphate OF lime, so that
the mixture almost solidifes. The sea-
water contains sulphate OF magnesia in
abundance, but scarcely any lime, while
the salt lake water contains chloride of
calcium, lime salt, with only trace of
sulphate.
In composition, the water OF Ala
Pakai approaches closely to that OF the
Dead Sea. The water from either OF
these inland basins will vary, of course,
in salinity at different seasons, and that
VI Jul Sdlb AahC 49, az IhAO lAA41O vi bAAC
year, at its maximum OF saturation.
Analysis shows that it contains at pres
ent more saline matter than has ever
deem reported, so far as our knowledge
goes, from the Dead Sea. The specific
gravity of the water, even at q tempera-
ture of so deg. F. is ,256; at the stand
ard temperature. it would of course be
higher. The water of the Dead Sea is
considerably lighter, its specific gravity
having been found by different observ-
ers to range from l.lS (Lynch) to LA
lLavoisier).
The most remarkable peculiarly OF the
water is the excessive quantity OF lime it
carries. This should give it peculiar
medicinal virtues, the water to be taken,
of course, like that OF strong lime springs,
only after large dilution. Such saline
water, suitably diluted, should have also
important medicinal effects In the form
of baths, and other uses will suggest
themselves to those who are familiar
with the disiniectant properties of many
of the chlorides. 1t would be easy to
transform it into preparation at least
as efficient and useful as Platt's chlorides,
or Pilden's Bromo-chloralum. The re-
suits of the analysis have been kindly
furnished US by Prof. Lyons, together
with comparative figures showing the
composition (average of several analysis)
of the water of the Dead Sea and that Of
concentrated sea water from Kakaako
[ salt works. The figures represent in
! each case the quantity in grains OF the
Ingredient contained in one wine gallon
Of the water:

lecture by F. d. English, B. A.


The lecture given by Mr.. English at
the Y. NJ. c. A. Monday p. N. was both
interesting and instructive. The lecturer
traced the history OF gold in the ancient
world, its connection with the wars OF
Alexander and those OF Roman aggres-
sion. The course OF its history in the
modern world was followed and a partic-
ularly vivid sketch given of the Spanish
conquest of Mexico-a conquest inspired
entirely by the thirst for the metal
which betrayed the conquerors into a
series of the most shocking inhumani-
ties. The lecturer touched lightly on the
cold discoveries in California, and closed
with brief Characterization OF the gold
fever and the chase for wealth, exempli-
fed in San Francisco by the unparalleled
frequency OF insanity and suicide. The
lecture was interesting throughout, and
was followed by small but attentive
audience.

The American Biscuit Co.

has manufacturing capacity of 500

quantity it makes into greater va

in the United States OF America, and
yet is scarcely able to fill its orders.
1t is turning out more crackers to-day
than it ever did before, and the trade
is still growing. Why is it? 1t is
simple enough. Their crackers are
the best that are made. People who
try them invariably want them again
and the grocer who sells them always
finds that they not only prove good
source of revenue to him, but make
his store popular with the people.
