REJECTED BALLOTS.

The "Act to Amend and Con-
solidate the Election Laws of the
Kingdom" approved on the 18th
November, 1890, is more remark
able for it's length and elaborate
ness than for It's clearness or defn-
iteness of expression-so much so
that it will be found, no doubt, that
some of the provisions, especially
those referring to the invalidation
or spelling of ballots, will be found
to have been differently interpreted
by different boards of inspectors
and their chairmen.
For instance, in Instructions to
Voters" Clause 3, the voter is d.
rected to "mark a cross on the
RIGHT hand side of the ballot-paper
opposite the name of the candidate
for whom he wishes to vote"
Clause 6 provides that if any voter
amongst other mistakes) places
any mark on the ballot by which it
may be identified, his vote will be
void.
Now, suppose that voter ignor-
rantly or carelessly marks his cross
on the LEFT hand side of the
ballot, will that be sufficient to in
validate his vote? Or suppose,
with the idea, possibly, of making
assurance doubly sure q voter
marks his cross both on the right
and on the left of the name of the
candidate of his choice, or if he
even drew a straight line THROUGH
the name of his particular aversion
with the idea of making his reiec-
ton as emphatic as his adoption,
would either of these irregularities
kill the vote? None of the marks
suggested above can be said to be
such as may lead to Identification,
and therefore it may be pleaded
that the ballot should be accepted.
On the other hand, Sec. IS, Clause
2, prescribes that not only marks
capable of Identification, but 'Hany
marx or symbol contrary to the
provisions of law" shall be sufficient
to cause the rejection of a ballot.
This would appear to condemn
any ballot in the least degree If
regular, and in the absense of Off
cial or judicial Interpretation it
cannot be but that different read
ings will be adopted certain
left-handed ballots will be accepted
here and rejected there.
1t is decreed by Section &c that
GALL questions as to the validity of
any ballot shall be decided i'm
mediately, and the opinion of a
majority of the inspectors shall be
final and binding, except as here
matter provided" This leaves a
final jurisdiction in the Courts to
decide.
When the election records are
all duly deposited in the hands of
the Minister of Interior, in accord
ance with Section 10, the ballots
used, "both those which may have
been rejected as we'll as those
counted" it will be seen to what

the creation of display of the arts
and sciences, which shall surpass
anything of the kind ever seen in
any country. To this end, vast
contributions have been and are
being made by the cities and States
of the American Union, and by the
Governments of every civilized
country. Among these may be
noted the contribution of five mil
lion dollars by the citizens Of
Chicago, five millions more by the
State of Illinois, and probably fl
teen millions more by the various
states and nations which intend to
provide buildings and make exhi-
bits therein all over twenty-five
millions. In the interval between
this and the opening of the Legis-
lature ID May, we shall devote
portion of our space each
week to descriptions of the
various fine buildings now
in course of erection on the grounds
and the colossal scheme in hand,
so that our readers may keep well
informed regarding the progress
made and the various branches of
exhibits which we and others may
wish to contribute. Hawaii has
never had such an opportunity to
appear in her best dress before the
assembled nations of the world
as will be offered to her at this
grand carnival in Chicago, and it
behooves her to bestlr herself and
make the necessary provision for
space and exhibits; otherwise it
may prove to be one of our lost
opportunities.

Hawaiian Hardware Co., Id.
Monday, Feb. I, 1892.

Tubb's Manila Rope is
famous throughout the world
wherever ships go-for its
color, strength and pliability.
1t has superseded many of the
older, and until recently,
standard brands, so that sail
ing masters buy it in prefer
ence to any cordage manufac-
tured, Deep water sailors
keep better time in the 'shanty'
while pulling on Tubb's Man
liza than they do on any other,
probably because its pliable.
Recognizing the fact that
the cordage manufactured by
the Tubbs Co., would, from
its superiority, some day lead
all others manufactured, we
arranged with the makers for
the exclusive sale of their
cordage in this Kingdom.
Since we have had the
agency the sale of the rope
has been very large and is
rapidly increasing. We ex-
pect to increase it still further
and with that fact in view we
keep always in stock coils and
coils of each size from 1a inch
to 9 inches which includes
about every size used-ahoat
or ashore. We can supply
every man, woman and child
in the Kingdom with rope and
have some left for a second
call.
We've been out of the pat
ent Flour Sitter recently but
have received hundreds of
them by the last Australia,
and now your wants in this
particular line can be supplied.
In addition to its being an or
binary flour sitter it also COM
bines eleUem other articles for
every dav kitchen use. The
price is the same as any other
sitter.

in buying a bonnet, but plenty

Another new article with us,
so far as size is concerned, is
the French Coffee Biggen
We have always kept this arti-
Gle in stock, but the sizes, I'M
til now, have generally been
large. A few calls for some
thing suitable for two
people-prompted us to order
some of those sizes. Its al
most impossible to make even
the very best coffee palatable
unless you use one of these
French arrangements. 1t pre-

you they drink the only good

to deal with us, you went else

again.
Some time ago we called
your attention through this
column to a wonderful Churn:
something that will make good

told you seven before, but
that was before we had sold
any of them. Every person
who has tried the Churn here
tells us that it will do the work
quicker and better than any

WOMEN AS BANK TREASURES.

Miss Sarah G. Clark has been Treasurer
of savings bank in Exeter, N. H., since
1883, and only the other day was selected
for the tenth year of her service in that
office. She began working in the bank
as clerk, and her advancement was due
wholly to her industry and competency
to discharge the labors assigned her.
Miss Clark is under bonds to the amount
of S45, 200 for the faithful performance
of her duties, the same security being
exacted of her that man would be re-
auired to furnish. Under her manage,
ment the business of the bank has largely
increased, and her good judgment in the
placing OF loans has caused her to be
made a member of the investment COM
pany. The assets of the bank are now
over $500, 900, while the deposits are In
creasing $4,000 annually.
New Hampshire has three women
treasurers of savings banks. Miss j.
Grace Alexander has been Treasurer of
the Security Savings Bank, of Winches,
ter, since its organization in 1881. The
assets of the bank are $2S0,00O. Miss
Cora A. Wells was recently elected
Treasurer of the savings bank at Hins-
dale.-Brooklyn Citizen

FARMING WITH FERTILIZERS.

If proper rotation is pursued ordin-
ary farm crops can be grown indefinitely
where only mineral fertilizers, chiefly
phosphate, are applied directly to the
soil. This rotation includes frequent
applications of clover as green manure.
1t has been tried on land rich in mineral
plant food for many years without de-
creasing the crop Of grain. 1t would
not do for growing corn, potatoes or
garden vegetables. In all of these clover
alone is too slow manure, but for
wheat on land rich in phosphate the
biennial clover crop has for long periods
been found sufficient for the require
ments of the grain crop.
But for the great majority of farmers
speculationSa to what can be done with
mineral manures, alone have no practical
value. They are more expensive than
the supplies of nitrogen and mineral
matter that can be made by careful feed
ing of the best stock. But the fact that
some farmers have found out how to
manage mainly by using mineral ma
nures is suggestive to all. 1t behooves
every farmer to make accurate expert
ments so as to determine the cost of his
stable manure, and if it cost more than
mineral fertilizers, to either change his
stock or place more reliance on fertili-
zers with clover. This last requires for
its best use two years occupation of the
land, and is, therefore, unsultcd to To-
o.1tioc Moor citioe w here land Ia very
dear, and the interest account makes any
green manure the most expensive that
can be applied. 1t is chiefly near cities
and large villages that purchased stable
manure is now extensively used. At s
distance from cities and villages farmers
must rely on the manure they can make
in their own barnyards, supplemented
by commercial Observation-Disclosures

THE "RAINY-DAY COSTUME. !"

Attempts have been made to popular
lie in America the "rainy-day costume
worn by some of the most exclusive
leaders of fashion both in Paris and Lon
don. Unlike many of the costumes of
the "reform" type, this suit is as pretty
as it is useful, aud is made variously of
Harris tweed, homespun, Scotch cheviot,
and plain unpatterned. English serge.
The skirt is gored slightly on the front
and sides, and is full in the back. 1t is
unlined, and faced with waterproof to
the depth of eight inches underside. TIE
skirt is very short, that is, it clears the
ground by five inches all around. At
tached to this skirt is fitted blouse
either of dark colored silk-red, brown
black, or blue-and over this is the trim
NEST and tautest of tailor jackets, of
goods matching the skirt. One of these
suits brought from London by returned
tourist consists of skirt and jacket OF
dark russell. colored serge, with vest OF
paler tan surah. The jacket is double
breasted, and this and the skirt are
machine stitched dt all the edges. En-
suite is cap of tan cloth, also pair Of
neat, very long russell kid leggins, with
gloves of the same shade, pretty addi-
ton to the whole being small umbrella
of red russell changeable silk.-New

PANNIERs MAY RETURN.

Wouldn't wonder at all if we arrived
at panniers before the season is over.
Many skirts new have suggestion of
drapery about them and to others grace
full touch is impaired by puffs of lace
about the waist. Sometimes the lace
takes the shape of what used to be called
a postillion, and is added only at the
back and sides of the waist. An awfully
pretty way of making an old waist new
is to sew the lace underneath quite
straight and plain and turn it up on the
outside, or else apply it in a girdle shape
in high point at the back. A few yards
OF nice lace laid in at the beginning OF
the season is positive economy, because
it can be put on one gown for an occa-
sion and taken right off and be ready for
the next one, and it always gives touch
of refinement to the most commonplace
toilet. Why, even bit of lace fulled
around the cuffs and falling over the
hand gives touch of old world grace to
everybody and is the most becoming thing
in the world to anybody's hand. Il
brings out all the beauties of pretty
pair and throws the dearest little veil IL
the world over ordinary ones. The new
point de jene, or coral lace as it is usually
called, u . perfect blessing. Three

THE rTITERn HATS,

A line of hats that may be called the
'tilters' are specially graceful. The
crowns belong to one variety or another,
just as it happens, and the brims tilt
down one side and up the other, or dow
in front and up behind, or down and up
all at once on all sides, always going the
right way, no matter which way they go,
and always sure to be the prettiest hats
that their wearers ever had. The Tam
crown is favorite in these, and also the
bell crown. Sometimes the edge of the
brim is turned up, like the sailor brim
described, though rolling more; never
higher than half an inch, the little roll
makes pretty finish. Chip is the ma
terial most easily worked into these
shapes.-New York Times.

IITTLE-KNOWN WIDOWS,

Some of the richest widows in the
country the world knows the least of,
writes John A. Cockerill. And among
these are some who do the world a great
deal of good, too. Every city has its
wealthy widows and if you look over the
glittering galaxy they will in most cases
be found to be women of rare good sense,
managing their affairs with judgment
and bearing themselves in very proper
way before the world. The fact that a
woman is a rich mans widow is always
something to her credit. Men who DO
not have good wives to help them in the
worlds strife rarely have the chance to
leave rich widows. How often do the
people of New York hear of Mrs. Schen-
lev, of Pittsburg? Yet she is worth
$40, 600, 900, according to the estimates
of those who know where her property IS
and the value of it.
Mrs. Thomas A. Scott, of Philadel-
phia, is modest woman, notwIthstand-
ing her $5,000,00O or more. Our
neighboring city Of Hartford has two or
three rich women, and one of them, Mrs.
Leonard Church, worth $1,000, 600, IS
not above taking her outing In turnout
worth at the outside figure about SOB. l
used to hear occasionally, through some
clever business turn she had made, of
Sarah Gates, of Kansas City. She is
widow and away from her home IS
reputed to be worth $40, 600, 600 all
realized from real estate investment OF
less than $1,000. I have not heard lately
of Mrs. Gates, but unless she pinned her
faith and her bank notes with too much
tenacity upon Kansas City's future, l
presume she is still accommodating money.
The world hears nothing Of Mrs. Rachel
Calf. of Cincinnati, nor Mrs. OLIVER
Perrin, of the same place, and yet each
of those ladies is worth from ~, 900, OOo
to So, 100000. Mrs. Joseph Harrison,
whose husband built the first railroad In
Russia. is worth $4,OO0,0O0, but her
name is rarely seen in newspapers. In
striking contrast with these women just
named, in the matter of avoiding the pub"
lie gaze, is Americas own Mrs. Josephine
NJ. Aver, the patent-mcdiclne widow,
who continues to dazzle Paris with her
diamonds, swell equipages and princely
entertainments. Mrs. Aver is our best
example of lady who is away from
home, very rich, and doesn't care who
knows it. A reception which Mrs. Aver
cave last winter-it was but one OF sew
erals said to have been marvel OF
expenditure, even for Paris. 1t is not
unlikely that her future efforts in this
direction may eclipse the greatest OF her
past achievements New York Recor'

AUSTRALIANS PEST
twenty Million Descendants from One
Pair of Rabbits Within Five Years:

The plague of rabbits in Australia
can not be described without seeming
exaggeration to those who have not
had experience of it, says an article
In Scribner Originally introduced In
a colony Of about score of 1ndlVl1-
uals by a squatter near Melbourne,
who thought their familiar presence
on his station would ''remind him OF
home ;" they have kept the recollec-
tion of England so fresh in the minds
of pastoralists to tempt them to very
reasonable language concerning her
whenever rabbits are mentioned,
The fecundity OF the rabbit is
amazing, and his invasion of remote
districts swift and mysterious. Care
full estimates show that under favor
able conditions a pair Of Australian
rabbits will produce six filters a year
averaging five individuals each. AS
the offspring themselves begin breed
ing at the age of six months, 1t IS
shown that, at this rate, the orlg1-
nal pair might be responsible in five
years. for progeny of over 20, O0O,-
900. That the original score which
were brought to the country have
propagated after some such ratio no
one can doubt who has seen the enor-
NOUS hordes that now deyastate the
land in certain districts. In all
but the remoter sections, however,
the rabbits are now fairly under con-
troll; one rabbiter with pack of dogs
supervises stations where 100 were
employed ten years ago, and with Or
binary vigilance the squatters have
little to fear. Millions Of the ami
mails have been killed by fencing in
the water-holes and dams during a
dry season, whereby they died OF
thirst and lay in enormous piles
against the distractions they had
frantically and vainly striyen to
climb, and poisoned grain and fruit
have killed myriads more. A fortune
Of e25, 900, offered by the New South
Wales Government, still awaits the
man who can invent some means OF
general destruction, and the knowl-
edge of this fact has brought to the
notice of the various colonial govern
ments some very original devices.
