l don't know that this fight
should create such furore, such a
great wave of excitement, for aside
from it's International aspect and
the money at stake there will be

How to Preserve Cider.

A pure, sweet cider is only obtain
able from clean, sound fruit, and the
fruit should, therefore, be carefully eX-
amined and wiped before grinding.
In the press use hair cloth or gunny
in place of straw. AS the cider runs
from the press let it pass through
hair sieve into a large open vessel that
will hold as much juice as can be ex-
pressed in one day. In one day, Or
sometimes less, the pomace will rise
to the top, and in a short time grow
very thick. When little white bubbles
break through it draw off the liquid
through Il very small spigot placed
about three inches from the bottom,
so that the lees may be left behind.
The cider must be drawn off into very
clean, sweet casks, preferably fresh
liquor casks, and closely watched. The
moment the white bubbles before men
toned are perceived rising at the bung-
hole, rack it again. 1t is usually nee
essary to repeat this three times Then
fill up the cask, and add tumbler of
warm sweet oil and bung up tight
For very fine cider it is customary to
add at this stage of this process about
half pound of glucose Starch sugar.,
or Il smaller portion Of white sugar.
The caSk should then be allowed to
remain in a cool place until the cider
has acquired the desired flavor.
In the meantime, clean barrels for
it's reception should be prepared, as
follows: Some clean strips of rags are
dipped in melted sulphur, lighted and
burned in the buhghole and the bung
laid loosely on the end of the rag so
as to retain the sulphur vapor within
the barrel. Then tie up half pound
of mustard seed in a coarse muslin
bag and put it in the barrel, fill the
barrel with cider and add about
quarter of pound of isinglass or fine
gelatine dissolved in hot water This
is the oldfashioned way, and will keep
cider in the same condition as when
it went into the barrel, if kept in a
cool place, for year
Professional cider makers are now
using calcium sulphite (sulphite of
lime) instead of mustard and sulphur
vapor. 1t is much more convenient
and effectual To use it, it is simply
requisite to add one-eighth to One-quar-
ter of an ounce of the suIphite to each
gallon of cider in the cask, first mix
ing the powder in about a quart of the
cider, and giving the latter thorough
shaking Or rolling. After standing
bunged several days to allow the sui
phite to exert it's full action it may be
bottled off. The sulphite of lime (Which
should not be mistaken for the sui
phate of lime) is commercial article,
costing about forty cents a pound by
the barrel. 1t will preserve the sweet
ness of the cider perfectly; but unless
care is taken not to add too much of
it, it will impart a slight sulphurous
taste to the cider. The bottles and
corks used should be perfectly clean,
and the corks wired down.
A little cinnamon, wintergreen or
sassafras, etc, is often added to sweet
cider in the bottle, together with a
dram or so of bi-carbonate of soda at
the moment of driving the stopper.
This helps to neutralize free acids, and
renders the liquid effervescent when
unstopped; but if used to excess it may
preiudically affect the taste

a ONE-MAN TOWN,
The Curious Exp, rierce of a Commercial

The Curious Exp, rierce of a Commercial
Traveller i'm Colorado.
| have discovered a town in Colorado
which | believe is owned body, soul
and spirit by one man. There is moth
ing very remarkable in all the real
estate of Il Western city being owned
by a single individual, but this is the
first time | have ever found place
where the business interests seemed to
be practically in the hands of one man.
The town has perhaps 500 inhabitants,
and is the centre of good agricultural
district. The first day [ arrived at it
l went to the hotel, where l was intro
duced to- the landlord, busy, pushing
individual, who seemed to have no
time to eat, and who kept running out
at short intervals and returning in
breathless haste. / set down his ac-
tivity to bad case of boom fever, but
was speedily undeceived.
Having occasion to get a bankers
draft cashed, L called in at the little
bank, and to my astonishment found
the little hotel proprietor behind the
counter He greeted me as an old
friend, and it occurred to my mind at
once how readily the Identification
question would be settled if every
hotel keeper were also a banker. My
business was transacted promptly and
satisfactorily, and then l proceeded to
hire a rig at the livery stable to drive
to small neighboring town, where an
old customer had just started in busi-
ness. When | got back in the evening
the hotel proprietor and banker was at
the stable, and it was to him that /
paid the So charged for hire. In an
aside he told me that he ran the livery
stable because he could not lease the
building to reliable tenants, adding
that as corn was so cheap there was
a pile of money IN the business.
The next morning [ called at the
only really large store in the town.
When l made my business known the
young man told me that the proprietor
was out, but that he would fetch him.
A moment later the hotel keeper, bank
er and liveryman came in, and l sold
this local PoOh-bah a bill of goods
large enough to make me feel happy
for couple of days. 1t occurred to
my mind that l might just as well
have shown him the samples at the
hotel, but l did not say so, and the
transaction was satisfactorily COM
pleted.
The last discovery which astonished
me was when I went for my mail on
the arrival of the afternoon train. In
the Postmaster. who was standing in
his shirt sleeves behind the counter
and distributing mail with great rapid
ity, [ recognized the man whom 1 had
already met in four different capaci-
ties, and / believe if l had not left the
town that evening l should have dis
covered him in a half dozen more.-A

TO BE oVERHAULED.
The Boston Will Leave for Mare
Island Next Week.

The U. S. S. Boston is expected
to leave for San Francisco and Mare
island, to go into the dry dock, in
about week or ten days. Upon
enquiry, the story published in the
S. F. Call regarding the condition
of the Boston's hull proves to be
entirely unfounded. Since the
last cleaning the hull of the YES
sci has been covered with a brit
tie coral growth of an inch or
more, but this is now being re-
moved preparatory to departure,
and an examination shows that the
hull is intact, and that the most
damage that has accrued has been
the removal of the chemical paint
in patches. 1t is understood that
the Boston will make about 10
knots on the journey home, and
that as soon as she arrives at Mare
Island her machinery will receive
a thorough overhauling. She will
take about IS tons of coal on deck,
and will make the average time
up.

HALEMAUMAU.
A Kamaaina Says the Word is
MistransIafed.

Mr.. EDITOR: Is it not time to
correct the erroneous translation
"house of everlasting fire." for the
well known Halemaumau, even at
the risk of spelling any fancied
romance there may be in the trans
lation above given2
To begin with, the word is not
ha-le-mau-mau, but ha-le-ma-u-
ma-u, the pronunciation of which
is clear enough to those who are
acquainted with the language, but
as an aid to the uninitiated the
spelling may be anglicized thus:
Ha-leh-ah-ma-oo-ma-oo the literal
translation being not "house fern"
as stated by a critic some years
ago, when he was trying to correct
some erroneous translation of Ha-
waiian words, but house (of) fern,
or, correctly ''fern house."
The name is supposed to have
originated from the original house
or hut that existed there, having
been matched with fern.
If any one disputes this theory
of the origin and meaning of the
word-which is believed by the
writer to be fact rather than theory
"a lover of correct rather than
fanciful translations, will be glad
to hear from him through the col
umns of your paper.
There has been too much of a
tendency to carelessly adopt and
perpetuate false translations of
Hawaiian words, and some of the
attempts that have been made to
give the pronunciation of these
words in anglicized photography
have exhibited a want of proper
acquaintance with the phonetics Of
the language.

DEATH OF d. Il. NAHINU.
A Prominent Hawaiian of hoo
kena Passes Away.

News came by Fridays Mika-
hala of the death of D. H. Nahinu,
of Hookena, Hawaii, which took
place at Hookena, last Wednesday
morning, September Is. The fol-
lowing is an abstract from a letter
from Mr.. G. w. Waiau to Mr.. J. U.
Kawainui, of the Kuokoa: D. H.
Nahinu died at his home at Hoo
kena on the 18th inst. of fever, con-
tracted from constant exposure to
wind and cold. He was laid up
with the fever for two weeks, DR..
Lindley attending him. Mr.. Ma
hinu was born at Hookena in 1928,
and was 65 years old at the time of
his death.
He graduated from Lahainaluna
seminary about 1S4S or '49 among
his classmates being the late Rev.
NJ. Kuaea, Rev. j. Kekela, Rev.
Nuuhiwa and other Hawaiian
scholars.
During public life of nearly
forty years, he has held different
government offices, viz: School
teacher, district judge, postmaster,
tax assessor and collector, deputy
sheriff, member of the privy coun-
Gil and a member of the legislature
for several terms. He was chair
man of the Kona road board at the
time of his death. He was also
member of the Hawaiian bar, be-
ing one Of its oldest members.
The late Mr.. Nahinu always
took great interest in church mat
tiers, and his monthly contributions
to his church ranged from SIS to
$40 for many years back. His
large real estate is said to be al
most entirely free from mortgage,
fact which made him independent
throughout his life.
His funeral took place last
Thursday, and was largely at
tended.

PLANTERS MEETING.
Matters Brought Before II Yes

The planters labor and supply
company held meeting Tuesday.
Mr.. J. B. Atherton furnished the
following letter in reply to the ap-
plication of Professor Koebele:
Honolulu, H. l., Sept. IL, 1898.
JOSEPH MARsDEN, ESQ, Commits
sioner and Secretary of Bureau
of Agriculture and Forestry.
SIR: At meeting of the plant
ers' labor and supply company
held to-day, the following resolu-
ton in regard to securing the SER
vices of Professor Koebele was
unanimously adopted:
THAT the planters labor and
supply company will be RESPONSE
BILE for one-half of Professor Koe-
bele's salary and expenses on con-
dition that the government assume
the other half, it being understood
that said salary and expenses shall
not exceed five thousand ($5000)
dollars per annum, and not to ex-
tend for a longer period than three
years.
l am, sir, yours very truly,
J. B. ATHERToN,
Acting Secretary P. L. & S. Co."
1t is understood the government
has agreed to the proposition for
the period of one year, and has
ordered the necessary sum set
aside from the appropriation for
agriculture and forestry to cover
the cost.
Certain matters concerning i'm
migration and labor were brought
up and discussed, and a commu-
nication was indited to the min
lister of interior, which will be
acted upon in the near future in
executive session.
