THE LEGISLATURE.

Yesterday completed thirty-six
days Of session. Members of the
House as well as outsiders begin to
ask what has been accomplished.
In numbers of bills, notices, ETC.,
the result looks considerable, for
there have been notices of 275 bills,
of which 1913, or less than half,
have been read and advanced vari-
Gus stages. Two hundred and
thirteen petitions are on the table
or in the hands of committees.
There have been 80 resolutions, 70
reports of committees and ga mis-
cellaneous matters, such as ques.
tons to ministers with the answers.
The admirable system pursued by
the clerk enables one to ascertain
in a few moments the progress
made.
The Legislature, however, meets
to vote appropriations and to enact
such laws, or make such amend
ments to existing laws, as may be
necessary. Gagged by this stand
ard the accomplishment seems
small. Seven bills, none of any
great Importance, have finally
passed and become laws. One has
been tabled, which generally
amounts 10 final disposition. A
very large number Of bills are
in the hands of committees,
yet TO be reported. A few are on
the Orders of the Day, with or
without reports of committees, and
the Appropriation bill is less than
halffnished. At this rate there are
several months of session yet be-
fore us.
There is much room for i'm
provement in the management of
the business of the House, by
which much valuable time might
be saved and hasty and ill.consid-
cred work during the last days

avoided. 1t is not saying TOO
much TO say that as a general thing
the discussion of committee re-
port on a bill at the time the report
is made is time absolutely lost, for
it is all gone over again, az the re-
port is generally "laid on the table
for consideration with the bill. "
Time is lost by other double dis
cussions but, after all, perhaps the
mutual forbearance and good sense
of the members is the surest way
TO shorten work and save time.
The proposition that members be
paid by the day, say for sixty days
and no more, is a good one. Per-
haps an amendment may be adopt
ed some time Of that nature.

ABOUT RAMIE.
The San Jose Wooden Mills is
Now Manufacturing Cloth
fran that pFo1u.sf
from that Product.

from that Product.
The Scientific American in a re-
cent number has an article on ramie
and in which it says: Frhe first ex-
pertinent In the manufacture OF
cloth from ramie in the United
States was made lately at the San
Jose Wooden Mill. The fiber was
put through the same process at
the mills as any other material
would for making cloth. 1t went
through the machines, was twisted
into thread, and then a thread of
wool and a thread of ramie were
twisted together. Being put on the
loom the machine was started, and
in few minutes the cloth began
slowly 10 unroll."
Mr.. F. A. Winter, the local ra-
mie-grower, was seen in regard to
the above and stated that while he
was glad to know that California
was manufacturing cloth from ra-
mie, it was by no means the first
production from the fiber, as he
had sent to the Agricultural De-
partment at Washington some sam
plies of fabrics made from ramie In
1890, which are now on exhibition
in that city. The samples embraced
cotton, wooden, worsted, silken
worsted and silk production. On
the last Australia Mr.. Winter sent
test samples to the San Jose Wooden
Mill, which included degummed
and bleached fiber and test sample
of the opener for the garnetting
machine. Mr.. Winter has samples
Of cloth manufactured from ramie
and anybody who is interested can
call on him for any information.
AS everybody knows, ramie is
nothing more or less than a weed
and grows and increases with the
. prolificness for which weeds are
noted. The plant does not need q
rich soil; in fact, seems to thrive
best in soil in which nothing else
will grow. 1t is claimed that three
crops "a year can be secured, and
that at the least calculation a prof
of $500 an acre will pour into the
pockets of the ramie cultivator.

SEVERAL important decisions of
the Supreme Court have recently
been published in our columns.
One that appears in this issue
shows the difficulty of settling
boundary lines where the only data
are the names of certain land
marks and the evidence of old
natives, supposed to be familiar
with them. In Saturdays daily
was another, regarding the charge
of interest in current mercantile
accounts where the interest charge
is compounded quarterly. This
latter decision seems to establish
the legality of the practice as
generally followed here.

The short notice on Rat
Traps last week rather boom
ed that branch of our business
and gave us an idea of how
many people there are in Ho-
nolulu whose homes are in
tested with rats. The traps
we are selling are really a very |
superior article-the rats don't
know they are in it until they
try to get out. The traps are
made of copper wire and will
last until the millenium-or
longer.
Plenty of wind and no water
is a bad state of affairs for cat
tie or crops. The herds will
not fatten on wind, neither will
the crops thrive. You can
obviate the difficulty Il yos
ggant 10. There is scarcely
anything in the way of the
Aermotor being successful in
putting water wherever it is
wanted provided you have the
water. The force pumps
which go with the Aermotor
have such wonderful power that
the water is sent into high
places and at long distances
even though the wind should
be very light. 1t is marvellous
what these Aermotors will do
and how easy they run. A
gentleman from Maui to whom
we have sold two mills called
on us the other day and said
"tl,e Aerm0toY has giVen sacl,
perfect satisfaction during tile
past gear that I agiK spa1.t three
more" This person is not
alone in pronouncing it the
best mill in existence.
There are people on the
islands who want them but
who are waiting for better
times before they buy. If these
people want to enjoy life and
make the times better, now is
the very time to buy an Aer-
motor because it will prevent
loss to cattle and to crops, it
will save the expense of what
ever number of men they may
have engaged in pumping.
This is the year for economy
! among the plantation men and
there is no greater economy
than the purchase of a steel
Aermotor. For grinding corn
it will do more work and is
cheaper than hand power and
is equally as good if not better
than a steam engine. Mr.. c.
L. Wight says:
The z25foot geared .Aermotor

that.

Delightful yIr. Einstein.

The truly democratic form of our
government, in which lone man is as
good as another" was illustrated in a
little incident at the Capitol the other
day. A subcommittee of the house ap-
preparations committee having charge
of certain branches of the District ex-
penditures had before them recently
that distinguished citizen of the District
of Columbia, the official dog catcher,
known as Poundmaster Einstein, with
the purpose of slicing down his salary
from the princely sum of 81 200 year
to 5000.
1t did not slice, however, and one of
the members of the committee explains
their change of heart by saying that be-
fore the examination was concluded Mr..
Einstein so charmed the members of the
committee with his stories of excursions
made with senators in search of black
bass in the streams about Washington
that the question of reducing his salary
was absolutely abandoned.

The Season of Mushrooms.

That delicious fungus growth scien-
tificaly called by big and strange name,
but commonly known as the mushroom,
Is just beginning to come plentifully
into the local markets, and they are pre-
pared to stay till late into the fall
Those which are found in the vege-
table stalls in Washington market are
of artificial culture and are now selling
at about seventy-five cents pound. A
month ago they brought $1.S5 pound,
and a month hence fifty cents or even
less will buy goodly supply of the nu-
tritious and delicious white stemmed
and brown topped fungi.
Said the ruddy faced and white apron
ed marketman to me today between the
puffs of his perfecto:
Eyes, sell good many mushrooms,
especially during Lent. Those that
come in now are raised in lighthouses in
beds underneath the plant shelves and
they come pretty high, although they
are getting down in price lately. l have
sold them as high as three dollars a
pound. Later on in the spring we get
raise them in their cellars, in shaded
places and even in caves, and during
warm weather men and women and
boys and girls who gather them in
fields and pastures bring them in to the
city. Then we sell them for almost
nothing-as low as ten cents a pound
sometimes. Most of our customers who
buy mushrooms are people of means.
and although we sell great quantities of
them, the people as whole don't seem
to appreciate and understand them, as /
should think they would"
The jolly marketman is right, for
mushrooms are not appreciated as they
should be. Many people have eaten
mushrooms only when the canned arti-
Gle has been served sprinkled sparingly
over steak. There is vast difference
between the canned mushroom and the
crisp, fresh and appetizing fungus that
one can now buy in any of the large
markets.-New York Telegram.

THE AsToR SENSATION.

Something About the Noted Family
Now Unpleasantly Prominent.
GA scandal in the Astor family? I'm
possiblel They have their faults of course,
but as to question about their women
why, they simply aren't assailable!"
Such was the exclamation among the
-Four Hundred and of many others; but
the report proved to be true. Not only
is an Astor accused, but she is the cen
Ter of the center group, and almost the
social head of the family. She is now
AIRS. J. Coleman Drayton, and her hus-
band is eager to shoot or slash Mr.. Alsop
Borrowe on her account.
The Astors are American nobility, if
there is such thing-that is, the wealth
has been in the family now four genera
tions, culture has done its prettiest for
them, and every scion of the family
has married in their own rank. There
have been no mesalliances. The original
John Jacob Astor founded the family,
rs every one knows. He was born at
Waldorf, Switzerland, in 1868, and died
at New York In 1S4S. He founded the
Astor library and several other things,
and left SIG, 900, 900 to his oldest son,
William Backhouse Astor. William B.
died in 1875, aged eighty-three, and after
the munifcent provisions for all the
kindred and many charities were carried
out, there was still at least $50 900, 900
TO divide between his two sons, John
Jacob and William.
At this stage nice distinctions became
necessary, for old John Jacobs other
grandchildren live in New York; so by
common consent John Jacob Aston be-
came the head of the family and his wife
the very head of the heads and cream of
the cream of New York society. She
alone was "Mrs. Aston" Ali the others
had to put their initials on their cards.
She was originally Miss Augusta Gibbes,
of Savannah, and her only child is the
Hon. William Waldorf Astor, who has
done something in literature and diplo-
macy, ran once for congress from New
York city and was turned down so
beautifully that the ward heelers have
not got done laughing about it yet.

How 1t Is Done in China.

Though the Chinese diplomatist moves
slowly, there are some Chinese manda-
rims whose ways are expeditions and
summary. Under the auspices of Chang
Chih-tung foreign engineers are pros
pecting in the neighborhood of Hankow.
They were commended the other day by
the viceroy to the care and protection of
a minor mandarin. This parsonage,
rooted in the traditions of the past,
viewed the advent of the "Fanqui" with
disapproval.
He penned a remonstrance, setting
forth that it would be unsafe to allow
the earth dragon, who has lain undis-
turbed since the time of Confucius, to
be- profanely tempered with. The coun-
try folk, he explained, were a rough set,
who, on seeing strange men with strange
instruments in their hands probing and
peering into the earth, would be sure to
be reused to mischief, and as he pro-
fessed himself powerless to restrain the
riot that might ensue, he prayed his ex-
cellency to reconsider the matter.
The viceroy took in the situation at
glance. He wrote in reply to say that,
inasmuch as the local official did not
seem equal to cope with the situation,
he was sending five deputies, with boats
and followers, to afford the foreigners
safe and suitable escort-an at the ex-
pense of the remonstrant. Their visit
is said to have cost the worthy magis-
trate some ESQ, and since then Chang
Chih-tung has not been troubled with
any more remonstrance FROM the zeal
