TO RESIST THE Alta OK
of the germs of Consumption,
Scrofula, Grip, Malaria, and many
other diseases-means fight or die
for all of US. These germs are every.
where in the air we breathe. The
odds are in favor of. the germs, if
our liver is inactive and our blood
impure.
What is needed most is an increase
in our germ-fighting strength. To
do this successfully you need to put
on healthy flesh, rouse the liver to
vigorous action, SO it will throw off
these germs, and purify the blood so
that there will be no "weak spot"
nor soil for germ growth.
We claim for DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, that it does all
this in a way peculiar to itself. 1t is
the development of generations of
medical thought---it has stood the
test of quarter of q century of
cures.
That is why the makers can gasur-
antee it. In every trouble caused by
torpid liver or impure blood, if the
"Discovery" fails to benefit or cure,
your money is refunded.

The Hawaiian Situation.

For ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain the Hawaiian policy of
the United States is peculiar. A
lite further light was shed upon the
situation by the apparently surrepti-
tious publication of an abstract of
the Blount report, which goes to show
that the Provisional Government was
the creature of conspiracy in which
the United States Minister bore the
leading part, and to which United
States marines contributed the back
bone. As to this phase of the matter
the evidence is SO contradictory that
it cannot be explained upon any
other theory than that of deliberate
lying either upon the part of the sup
porters of the Queen or of the de-
tenders of the Provisional Govern
ment.
But if it be grained that mistake
was made by landing United States
marines to help turn out the Queen
and install her successors, why should
another mistake be made by the forci-
bic turning out of the Provisional Gov.
eminent to install the Queen2 ? 1t has
been conceded that the present Gov
ernment of the islands is the best
they ever had. In the exercise of its
dominating influence over the for
tunes of the islanders, whatever form
of rule they may establish for them
selves, the United States Govern
ment is bound to first consult the
public welfare. As long as this Gov
ernment shall insist that the indepen-
dence of Hawaii must be respected by
all other Powers it will continue to
exercise a qualified protectorate which
will be none the less real because it
is not matter of stipulation. The
United States would not be justified
IN oustlng the present authority in
the islands to set up worse one.
They would not be justified in under
taking to right one wrong by commit
ing another. If Liliuokalani has been
agg-ieved, she has herself suggested
the proper method of reparation by
offering for monetary consideration
quit claim of her monarchy. The
United States, by refusing to annex
the islands, have refused to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity brought
about by the change of Government.
Happily, the failure of the original
plan to overturn the existing Govern
ment of the Sandwich Islands by sud
den stroke of diplomacy has opened the
way for rectifcation of the policy of
the Administration, if the Admins
tration be wise enough to see it. To
upset the present equitable rule and
turn the islands over to the Joint con-
troll of an equally odious monarchy
and monopoly would be an act of
amazing folly.-Ree0rd.

ing an ordeal Of great affliction. A
great deal of sympathy is manifested
in their behalf. The public feeling is
thus drawn to an upright family.
The promising young physician of
Benton, c. S. O'Brien, died last
Thursday night. death loves shin

was no exception. The entire com.
munity have lost valuable and useful
member from their ranks and number.
While his life was no sweeter to him
than the life is to any other p erson,
yet such losses are more keenly felt by
community than the majority of
losses that occur by death to a COM
munity.

take piece of the cloth two inches longer
than the depth of the basket and wide enough
to 90 once and a half around; gather this even

enough to lie in the bottom of the basket
Fit this in smoothly. Then draw the upper
eud over the edge of the bask.. anl fasten it
with carpet tacks. Next tax, off tn. chintz a
piece trih, longer than the unitel length of
both baskets and wide enough to go around
smoothly. Hem one end, and max all around
a row of pockets five inches deep, gathered
quite full and furnished with h,lvj rubber
cord at the top. FasLen this neatly on the
outside of the lined basket; draw the other
end inside the empty one and fasten it with

COOPERATIVE Homes.

The creation of cooperative homes for bach
London, has been followed ny such brisk de-
mand for the advantages these establishments
offer that their snccess is assured. And now
MIR. Stead with Ills habitual courage, comes
forward with the original idea that the bache
lors and spnters should combine their house
keeping arrangements. Ins tead Of the mod
ern monasteries and nunneries, such as Toyn-
bee Hall, and Chimes Street Chambers, or in
addition to them. Mr.. Stead recommends
homes where families of fyoung persons of both
sexes might live together always, with an ex-
perienced lady house keeper at the head or
perhaps married couple with not more than
one or two children. There should be com
mon dining and drawing rooms, but each ten.
And he adds that Mrs. Grundy would have
DO more reason to be shocked at his "Co-opel.
ative Homes for the Unmarried" than she now
has at the ordinary boarding -house-which is
true enough.
The idea is that unmarried professional men
and women see too little of each other in the
relations of ordinary friendly intercourse
H., b", are sent to one school, the girls to
another; the literary men have their Authors.
Club, the women their Writer'S Club; among
Lhe artists the men have their societies; the
English women artists have none as yet. Men
are the heirs to the ideas of all the ages in
most professions, while socially men are more
advantageously placed than women. 1t is
not caravansery, but rather q community,
which Mr.. Stead recommends. The difficult
ty will be in the selection of groups whose
tastes are congenial among the thousands Of
minated persons of both sexes who live in
boarding houses. For though Mr. Stead says
that ''the most aggravating Of human beings
is less aW full than Solitude" few people will
agree with him who have endured the enforc-
ed ccmpanionship of an uncongenial soul.

Monetary Conference.

Julia, said Mr.. Pilver the other morning,
while sitting at the breakfast table waiting for
his coffee to cool, Julia, let's have monetary
conference.
Mrs. Piver is treasurer of the establishment
and the suggestion immediately attracted her
attent' on. monetary conference, James
| she qntr ed cautiously.
Yes, said Mr.. Piver, with an nane gggle,
something like they have just had in Brussels,
you know.
Well?
Well, we'll pretend to be countries, you
know. You can be France and I'll be let's
see. Pll be
Russia suggested Mrs. P.lver, with great
significance.
Yes, Russia; Russia of course. said Mr..
Pilver, nervously. Now well imagine that
we've heard a lot of talk about silver and gold
and bimetalism and other things like those,
Just to get our minds in shape to think of
money, without realizing its value, you. know.
Do you thilk your minds in shape to do that
now?
I'll risk it, said Mrs Piyer grimly.
Well, then, Russia would like negotiate
loan with France Not large loan, you
know, although It's the custom for the nations
to deal in large sums of money. But, say
1 didn't know that they negotiatated loans
at the Brussels Conference, interrupted France
They didl't, admitted Russia, but, of course
tbey could have done so. What good would
a monetary conference be, I'd like to know
if money couldn't be borrowed at it +? But, as
| said, Russia asks only for small loan, say
81. 70 or 81.
Did understend you to say, James, said
France, that you wanted this conference to be
as much like the Brussels Conference as pos
sible :?
Yes, said Russia hopefully.
Then declare it adjourned until next sum
mer, said France decisvely, and when Mr..
Pilver sadly turned hia attention to his tenn
porarily neglected coffee he saw that thin
crust of ice had formed upon it.

Horse Power of a Whale

The horse power of whale has been made
a subject of study by the eminent anatomlst
Sir William Turner, of the University OF Ed
inburg, Scotland, in conjunction with the e.
qually eminent Glasgow ship builders, John
Henderson. The size and dimensions Of a
shore at Longriddy, furnished the necessary
data for a computation of the power necessary
to propel it at a speed Of II miles an hour.
This whale measured 50 feet in length 70 a
cross at the fAnges of the tail, and weighed "A
tons. To attain speed of II miles an hour
it was calculated that 145-horse power was
necessary.
