Is the Nest Egg an Advantages


A Tennessee correspondent of Farm
Poultry thus replies to the query, Is the
nest egg an advantage?
would say that according to my OBJ
servation the nest egg is not necessity.
and not knowing but what its absence
from the nest might be more agreeable
with some individual hen leave the egg
out of some nests. l have IL variety of
nests. They are placed in different
places, and though some nests are better
patroniZed than others yet there is that
individuality with some hens that tho
philosophy of nestmaking is yet too
much i'll embryo to he formulated. Some
hens discard the prepared nest and pre-
fer laying on the ground. AS soon as l
have vacant hover L place it in the
yard, and some hen will take possession
of it, though it contains no nest egg.
For all this | am confident that using
nest egg has its advantages. AS rule
of life, or disposition. or taste, or some
other sociable inclination, the majority
of hens take to nests containing a nest
egg even when the flock range is large,
And majority of this majority prefers
laying i'll nest already occupied, though
other nests may be within easy reach.
The advantage of the nest egg is shown
by prolongins the laying disposition of
the hen. The disposition OF the hen is
to lay clutch to sit on. If the eggs are
undisturbed, the hen will commence to
sit at the tenth to thirteenth egg, but if
the eggs are removed as often as laid.
leaving only one, the hen is likely to lay
20 on more before her broOdiness forces
her to give up, or il not of the broodv

Drawing Out Foundation For Combs!
This question and answer appeared not
long ago in The American Bee Journal:
Question: have II quantity of frames
and sections filled with foundation
ready to1e worked by the bees. Would
it be possible TO put IL few colonies to
work this foundation into nice combs
without storing honey or pollen in the
cells, and rcmcyc these game frames of
comb, to be filled with honey by other
colonies in my apairy: Could it be done?
If so, how can do it?
Answer-No, you cannot get bees to
build comb, either with or without
foundation, Unless they Lave chance
to store something; i'll the comb. They
will draw it ont IL little way before stor-
ing anything in it, and You can get
;hc;A to 10 that, if You wish, by simply
putting the foundation where they will
be obliged to cluster on it. OF course
this must be at time when bees are
storing. The Oatmans used to credit
II good deal of their success in getting
large crops to the fact that full sheets of
foundation in brood combs were given
i'll the brood nest just long enough to DO
drawn out into shallow cells, then cut in
pieces and put in sections.

writing which, condensed into few
words, decides that Christian Gertz
must serve out his sentence of six
months at hard labor and pay the fine
of $500 imposed by Judge Whiting.
The legal points decided in the case
are:
1t is not ground for a new trial,
that jury was drawn against the objec-
ton of the defendant from the re-
mainder Of the regular panel after the
names of twelve jurors who we're sitting
in another case had been withdrawn by
order of the Court, no prejudice being
shown to have resulted therefrom to
the defendant.
Section 9, Chapter LVI, laws oil
1892, does not give the defendant the
right to the closing argument when he
presents no evidence.
Instructions need not be given in
the form requested, if as given they
correctly state the law and cover the
ground,
The unexplained presence Of opium
in case of goods imported by the
defendant is evidence from which the
jury may infer an intent on the part Of
the defendant to import the opium.
Making an entry of goods and de.
scribing the goods as exempt from duty
and as imported by the steamer Aus
tralia from San Francisco is evidence
from which the jury may infer tina,

COURT OF INQUIRY
Exonerates Captain Stott and Restores
His Certificate.

1t is reported that the naval court of
inquiry, convened to inquire into the
cause Of the stranding of the Miowera,
has come to a decision which exoner-
ates Captain Stott from all blame in
the matter, and that his certificate as
master has been returned to him in
accordance Herewith. Captain Mist
was asked at noon if such was the case,
and if copy of the findings could be
had for publication. In reply he stated
that he had nothing to say about the
matter until the findings had been pre-
pared and signed, which would be
sometime during the afternoon, and
that afterwards the findings would be
given to the press. 1t would seem
from Captain Mist's statement that one
of the STARS contemporaries has been
a little previous in publishing the result
of the findings, or that some of the
members of the board of inquiry have
not kept as close mouth as Captain
Mist

Hall Salsa Stable Shark Some
Large Storms.

The Norwegian ship Beaconstield
was aground this morning near the
Railroad wharf, and considerable diff.
Guilty was had in removing her from her
berth in the mud, where the last high
tide left her By the use Of many lines
and what assistance the tug rendered
Captain Fuller finally succeeded in
hauling her alongside the dock, where
her coal will be discharged.
The statement to-day to the effect
that a contract had been let for the
removal of the Miowera from the reef,
has again opened the food gates of light,
lurid and entertaining fiction on the
water front, and this morning everyone
was telling or listening to stories
descriptive of how ships in much worse
predicaments than the Miowera had
| been saved.
The steamship Monowai, Captain
M. Carey, arrived Yesterday afternoon
from the colonies and Samoa with a
light cargo of freight for this port, the
mails and two saloon passengers. The
captain reports having encountered
stormy easterIy winds between Auck

through the remainder Of the voyage.
The flags of the German barks J. C..
Phuger and Paul Isenberg were flying
at half. mast this morning, the occasion
being the death Of the sailor Niole
who was injured few days since on
board the Paul lsenberg.
Since the boat belonging to the
| Miowera was lost Waterman guards
the ships boats at their moorings back
of the mail dock every night, being
brought ashore every evening and taken
off every morning soon after daylight.
The pontoons belonging to the
dredger are being overhauled, and the
bottoms of the six which have been
turned over resemble coral reef, SO
thickly are they coated with the marine
growth.
Work on the damaged bark j. c.
Phuger is progressing rapidly, but ii
will probably be several weeks before
the repairs are completed, as there is
much work to be done.

a rambling statement accused his friend
Carlson Of shooting him. Carlson was
arrested, and at once gave plain
straightforward statement Of what he
knew of the affair; which was that he
had put Putthuff to bed some time be.
fore very drunk, and that the
next time he saw him he
was standing on the porch and
bleeding profusely from wound in the
head.
This morning when Putthuff woke
up he had no recollection Of the occur.
tence, did not even know whether be
shot himself or not. DR.. Cooper could
not tell from the nature of the wound
whether it was caused by pistol ball or
by some other means, and as the man
was not much hurt anyway he was
turned loose. 1t is generally suppo, ed
that he fell out of bed while drunk and
struck his head against piece of fur
niture. He will be all right when he
gets sober, with the exception of sore
head for few days.

SUPREME COURT DECISION.

Cases.

The Supreme Court has filed a
decision in the case of Kualana ivy VS..
Yong Young, in which it is held that
the contention of the defendant that
his plea of title should be sustained
and that the District Court had not
Jurisdiction to hear the case, did not

ing that the case was one within the
Jurisdiction of the District Court under
the statute for summary proceedings to

THE NEW STAMP ISSUES.
Proposal of James Steiner for Popular
Design.


EDITOR STAR I've noticed that
our worthy Postmaster General has in
vited tenders to our art loving popula
ton to get him up some suitable de-
signs for the 6 varieties of new postage
stamps that we are to have very soon;
as the Philatelists and stamps speculat-
ors are buying up the P. g., stamps at
an alarmingly fast rate. Let me add
that the handsome amount of ten dol
lars for each design that finds approval
with the authorities has been allowed.
Now we've really hard times and the
Holomna says there's no surplus in the
Treasury; why not be economical and
save that 500 altogether. That's too
much anyway for art work.
Pm stamp fend myself and have
been since | was little boy. l like
pretty stamps and so do thousands Of
other stamp collectors. I'm also a
patriotic citizen of Hawaii mel and this
is my plan to get up a nice set of typ
ical Hawaiian stamps without inviting
tenders, that look radlculously small in
| award of price and merit
1t is a well known fact that NEST
countries now-a-d days have the likeness
of their Emperor, King, Queen or
President on the face of their stamps.
In olden times the style was to put
the value Of stamp in big bold hgures
on its face; that was very sensible
and practical idea, but not beautiful to
look at. Emperors, Kings, Queens,
and Presidents are mortal beings like
the rest of US, They are here to-day
but may not be Tomorrow. The Ha-
waiian Islands have advertised their
Kings and Queens on stamps from 1856 2
up to date; that's long enough. Scenes
that are bright and charming on paper
have lasting effect on the human
miId; they create a desire to see them
in person some day.
| We are always advertising in very
expensive way our beautiful scenery
volcanoes and other attractions to &c,
the tide of the tourist travel here.
My plan is to select half dozer
nice typical Hawaiian photographs
such as Waikiki beach, Hilo bay, Ho
nolulu harbor, the Volcano, Cocoanu
grove, Rainbow falls, Executive build
ing, Bishop museum ETC., send these
pictures to New York and the n Y
Bank Note Co, will do the rest. Mail'
| Leis, Coco Palms, Bananas, Pineapples
Sugar Cane, Coffee and Rice plant
would serve nicely as ornamental bord
ers to our future stamps
! Such picturesque designs on GU
stamps would advertise the whole isl
Y ands in very effective manner FIRE
} and to everybody's benefit. One G
: our former P, NJ. g., has already start
t ed out in that line. On the stampe
y envelopes and the cents postal cards
, they look very neat. This advice
. given in the kindliest of feelings an
a free of charge, and | sincerely hope it
!" commend itself to the authorities,
Yours very truly,
