OYSTERS AND SEEDS

Are va liable for what's in 'em. Good
and bad oysters look alike in the shell.
Good and bad seeds often have the same
appearance. Any one can tell worth
less oyster on opening it.. The value OF
q seed must lie determined by it's growth.
This makes its quality worth considering.
You want seeds that will grow, and you
want the product to be OF value. There
is but one guarantee; the reliability Of
the firm from which you buy.

THE KAU MYSTERY.
Mr.. FenneH Relates a Story
A bout the Strange Woman.

DOut the Strange woman.
The Kau mystery, published in
this paper several months ago, is
still mystifying the minds of the
people in Kona. About two weeks
ago Mr.. w. P. Fennell, a trust
worthy man, on his way from Pu-
naluu to Pahala, saw cow graz
ing near cave. According to his
own story, he said that as he
neared the cave the COW suddenly
vanished. He looked around, but
on looking at the cave again he
saw a woman standing on the spot
where the cow was grazing few
moments before. He turned his
face away for a while, but on look
ing again, to his amazement the
woman had disappeared. Deter
mined to investigate the mystery,
he went to the cave and viewed
it in every direction but he could
see no traces of the woman.
He thought it very strange that the
woman should disappear SO sud
denly. He left the cave, and pro-
ceeded on his journey. When he
was a little distance off, he looked
back at the cave, and to his great
surprise, behold, the woman was
again standing on the very spot
where he first saw her. Mr.. Fen
nell continued on his way, and
told his strange story to everybody
he met. The natives of Kau are
fearing that there will soon be ano-
ther overflow of the Volcano. The
Portuguese are also frightened at
the coming catastrophe, and they
have not decided what they should
do in the near future, whether tc
vacate the place or continue cult
waiting.

DURING the nine months that the
captain of the City of Chicago will
enjoy an enforced vacation for allow
ing his ship to be cast away on the
Irish coast he will have an opportu-
nifty to revise his opinion that the
best thing to do in fog at sea is to
increase your speed, on the theory
that in collision the vessel that is
going fastest will sustain the least
damage. One of the half-hidden
beauties of this hypothesis is that be-
fore the lucky ship can be put about
afler the collision the other vessel
with all on board is pretty apt to be
at the bottom of the sea.

Rread from Blood.

DR.. Makarof has been making ex-
periments in Russia with the blood
of animals in the manufacture of
bread. He made dough composed
of two and half parts of rye meal
and one and a quarter of blood. This
he baked, and so produced very
good loaf of bread, which was not
only fit to eat but also contained
much more nourishment than or
binary rye or wheaton loaves. DR..
Makarof considers that some regula-
tions should be issued to people who
slaughter animals, requesting them
to collect blood, which has hitherto
been wasted, and send it to certain
specified centers, where it could be
made into bread and distributed to
the peasantry in the grain, so that
they are obliged to grind it down,
and as in most of the districts there
has been great dearth of fuel, the
baking of the bread has been a great
difficulty, which in some cases has
proven inSurmountable.

Gath erinc HuckIeberrieS

Huckleberries are retailed by New
York fruit dealers in small boxes and
baskets, but the great blue buckle
berries of the Delaware swamps still
come to town in Yankee buckets, as
the ordinary hoped and painted
wooden bucket for domestic use is
generally called south of Mason and
DixOn's line. The swamp buckle
berry bush grows to height Of eight
or ten feet, and the berries are gath"
cred by men, women and children,
who enter the mosquito-haunted
swamps, spread sheets under the
bushes, and shake off the berries by
the bushel. The Adirondack buckle
berry bush grows to height of from
eight to eighteen inches, and the
berries are gathered not by hand but
by the cupful. A berry-gatherer
goes through the bushes. a cup in
one hand and a larger vessel Of some
sort hung to his side. AS he walks
he whips his cup, mouth forward,
about through the bushes, and quick
ly fills it with leaves and berries.
AS the leaves rise to the top they
are taken off when the cup fills, and
the berries are cast into the larger
vessel. In this way camping parties
gather many bushels of huckleber-
ries in single day.-New York Sun.

Berkman in Chicago.

The crank who assaulted Mr..
Frick at Pittsburg, Berkman, or
Count Orlowitz," as printers all
over the country know him. was a
sub" on the Chicago Herald for a
short time during the summer of
1890. He was not only a mystery
but was also the laughing stock of
the craft, especially the members OF
it employed by the Herald. His odd
sayings and curious plumbers were
told and retold wherever compositors
congregated. One story of the
Counts" eccentricities will never
die, and printers have RECALLED many
a group of reminiscent typos with it,
not only in Chicago but in Eastern
cities.
It so happened one hot night in go
that "the Count Orlowitz" was given
a set of extra cases. About mid
night the foreman had occasion to
ask: what gentleman is fixing up
that pied ball scorer" At the time
the foreman was at the end of the
room farthest from Berkman. But

and Stripes. The clerks whom he set
at work on the subject discovered
that on June IA, 1777, the Congress,
in session at Philadelphia, adopted
this resolution:
"Resolved, That the flag of the
thirteen United States be thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white; that
the union be thirteen stars, white, in
blue field, representing new con-
stellation."
The thirteen stripes had been used
before by the Philadelphia Light
Horse, in 1875, but the stripes were
alternate blue and white. Mrs. John
Ross, who did upholstering on Arch
street, is supposed to have been the
maker of the first flag containing the
stars and stripes. Although the reso-
luton of June IA was not promul-
gated by Congress until September 8,
the flag was carried at the battle of
the Brandywine on September II.
And then, from time to time in the
nations history, stars were added to
the galaxy of the field of blue, as new
States were formed. A resolution
providing for such changes was
adopted in Congress April 4, 1918.
Otherwise no change has been made.

THE precautions taken by the Brit
ish and American authorities in the
matter of cholera are in strong con-
trast with the conduct of the French.
The first case occurred in France in
March, and because the government
has been afraid, for reasons of traffic,
to admit the existence of the disease
it has gained foothold that it would
not otherwise have done. This ter
rible pestilence now fourishes in
eastern Russia and Europe and north
western Asia, among the Tartar and
semi-Tartar people, also in Turkey,
Persia and Independent Tartary. II
it had been taken hold of courage
ously and wisely by the authorities
at Paris it might probably have been
confined within the limits of Euro
pean Russia. The Russian govern
ment has apparently done what it
could to prevent its spread, but the
ignorant and superstitious population
have sturdily resisted all efforts to
mitigate the horrors of the disease
where it exists or prevent it's being
scattered abroad.

Another popularity, and the one
that brought about his discharge
from the Office, occurred one nlght
after the Herald boys had won a not
game of ball from some other OF the
city newspaper mines. He was put
on about 9 o'clock by the pitcher,
who had just set several good-slze q
stakes" The pitcher was all ball
play that night and made errors In
his composition. However, the two
or more thousand ems set was ample
remuneration for the subs pains IN
correcting them, bnt this Berkman
declared to be rank injustice.
"Tm a printer" he went on, mot a
blooming blacksmith, and he refused
to make the corrections. which he
claimed was a direct departure from
all recognized rules. The more he
looked at the proofs the angrier he
became, and finally he seized his
coat, collar, and necktie, and darted
from the office in a terrible rage.
He never came back again. The
ominous warning somehow got to his
ears that the foreman was waiting for
him whenever he might come looking
for work or pastime. The fellow al
ways had money, however, and would
lend it freely-that is, if the borrower
showed any inclination of engaging
his services.

THE Salvation Army is to have a
cavalry troop for each State to ride
rough shod over Satan in the country
districts and small towns which can
not support a regular force of soldiers
or a barracks. This idea of cavalry
in the Salvation Army originated in
California, where it is said to be very
successful in the country districts.
Commander Ballington Booth has de-
cided to adopt it in other States, and
make it a regular feature of the SAL

THE success with which women of

mistakable witness as we'll to the

IF man should stand on a street
corner and offer to give 50 for 81 and,
having received a number of contri-
buttons, should put them in his
pocket and refuse to make any return
whatever, he would be promptly ar
rested and prosecuted. However. an
institution like the Chicago Peoples
Investment Company, whose swim
ding practices have just been brought
to light, can rent an Office, issue circu-
lars offering So for 81, and to all in
tents and purposes pursue as fraudu-
lent course as the man on the street
corner, and nobody complains until
after the fraud has been consummated
and the knaves have decamped with
the hard-earned money of the credu-
lous poor. There is no reason why
the police should not be on the watch
for such swindlers as those consti-
tuting the Peoples Investment Com
pany. There is no reason why crime
of this sort, which is patent to every
body possessing common worldly in
telligence and easily a matter of
positive proof, should not be punished
and prevented at the outset instead
OF being permitted to number its
victims by the hundreds.

A Tree that Is 5000 Years Old.

In the churchyard at barley Dale
is the most venerable yew tree in
the world. Many authorities claim
for it a fabulous age, making it as
much as 5000 years old. 1t is thirty
three feet in girth, but its trunk has
suffered not little from the mod
ern Goths and Vandals who have
carved their names in the bark and
employed other methods of mutila-
ton. The tree is now fenced round
to save it from further insult; "and
whatever may be it's precise age,
says Rev. DR.. Charles Cox, "there
can be little doubt that this grand
old tree has given shelter to the
early Britons when planning the con-
struction of the dwellings that they
erected not many yards to the west
of it's trunk; to the Romans who
built up the funeral pyre for their
slain comrades just clear of it's
branches; to the Saxons, converted,
perchance, to the true faith by the
preaching of Bishop Diuma beneath
it's pleasant shade; to the Norman
masons chiseling their quaint sculp-
lures to form the first stone house Of
prayer erected in it's vicinity, and to
the host of Christian worshipers who,
from that day to this, have been
borne under it's hoary limbs in wom-
ans arms to the baptismal font and
then on mems shoulders to their last
sleeping place in the soil that gave it
birth. "-LOndon Public Opinion.

Money which flows like liquid
