Only within recent years has the
low price of borax brought it within
the means of every one as household
assistant, and it would not be surprise
ing if there were still many who
would be found but partially aware OF
the way in which it can be made help
full. Until within the last quarter cen:
tury it was principally the product of
Eastern countries and Italy, and was
imported to this country and sold at a
high price. The article known as
borax, which chemically speaking is
the biborate of soda, was found in the
development of California and Nevada
to exist in such quantities that long
farewell might be given to the import
ed article if only these deposits could
be made available; and it was not
long before American capital had ex-
tensive reducing works in operation,
with such capacity as not only to sup.
ply the home demand, but to allow OF
the export of large quantities. 1t now
sells at less than a quarter Of the price
prevalent thirty years ago, and is there
fore available for every use to which it
is adapted. And it can be used great
deal more generally and helpfully
than is appreciated. Tt may not be
amiss to state some of the methods . of
use as given by those who have made
the matter subject for thought and
careful experiment. For all washing
purposes borax softens the water,
foosens dirt, saves soap and labor, re-
duces the wear on clothes, and is sooth-
ing TO the skin, making the hands
soft and white, and will not injure
the finest fabrics. BoraX is also
the best preservative known for fish,
flesh, or fowl.

Medicine for Farm Animals.

A writer in the American Agricul-
turist reccomends wood ashes as a
valuable medicine for farm animals.
After long experience of twenty
years in raising swine he finds that
his herds are most effectually protect,
ed from hog cholera by keeping WOOD
ashes, rich in charcoal, mixed with
salt, constantly before them in a COW
cred box, with holes near the bottom.
The hogs work the mixture out
through these holes as fast as they
want it.
The idea of the writer is apparently
good. The phosphates which enter
into the composition Of wood ashes
are doubtless excellent germicides:
Animals inoculated with the baccilll
of Asiatic cholera by means of infect
ed food SURVIVE thelexperiment because
the germs are killed or rendered IN.
operative by the gastric juice. And
it is we'll known that the power OF
both men and animals to resist almost
any kind of infection is increased by
strengthening the acids of the
stomach. The writer referred to has
found that the best condition powder
is mixture of three parts of wood
ashes to one of salt.-New York
Herald.

Oatmeal.--If people, who have found
that oatmeal does not agree with them
when eaten with cream and sugar,
will try the following plan | thin /
they will have no more trouble: In
the first place, be sure to have the oat-
meal thoroughly cooked. 1 use the
Quaker rolled oats, put up in two
pound packages. Use one cup of oat-
meal to three cups of water, and let 1t
cook slowly about an hour. Omit the
sugar, and use only cream, always
eating a cracker or piece of dry toast
with it. One cause of oatmeal disa-
greeing with people is that they eat it
too fast. If toast or cracker is eaten
with it this Is prevented.
A feather duster attached to a long
pole is good for dusting cornices and
centerpieces that are otherwise be-
yond reach. instead of
water in stove backing will make an
old rusty stove look like new. Apply
in the usual manner.--Equal parts
of ammonia and spirits of turpentine
will take out paint spots from any
kind of clothing, no matter how old
and dry and hard it may be. Saturate
the spot with the liquid two or thee
times, till the paint is soft, then wash
in soap suds.
It is stated upon good authority that
last wear 1O2 well-defined cases of lock-
law were reported to the Royal S. P. G.
Animals, England, with certificate
in each case from the attending veter-
mary that the maylady resulted from
docking. and one single veterinary
stated that out of thirty-one cases OF
tetanus which he has been called to
attend within year, tWenty-seven OF
these cases resulted from this same
brutal custom. .-.-American Home

Many farmers have demonstrated to
their own satisfaction that better re-
suits can be obtained from a moderate
quantity of manure being covered and
worked into the surface soil by a good
disk harrow, than by spreading it upon
the land and plowing it into the soil.
In the former case it is left near the
surface, and as it becomes soluble, the
plant roots appropriate all the fertiliz-
ing elements.
The servant who neglects his en-
ployer's interests, or wastes his time, is

The darkest hour in the history of
any young man, says Horace Greedy,

True Business Principles.---It is as
easy to be rich man as a poor one.
half the energy displayed in keeping
ahead that is required to catch up
when behind, would save credit, give
more time to attend to business, ana
add to the profit and reputation OF
those who work for gain. Honor your
engagements. If you promise to meet
a man to do a certain thing at a GER
tain moment, be ready at the appoint
ed time. If you go on business, at
tend promptly to matters on hand, and
then as promptly 60 about your own
business.
Do not stop to tell stories in business
hours.
If you have place of business be
found there when wanted. No man
can get rich by sitting around stores.
Never fool on business matters. Have
order, system, regularity, liberality,
promptness. Do not meddle with busi-
ness you know nothing of. Never buy
an article you do not need, simply be-
cause it is cheap aDd the man who
sells it will take it out in trade. Trade
is money. Strive to avoid harsh words

stone in the path; more miles can be
made in day by going steadily on
than by stopping to kick. Pay as you
20. A 1han of honor respects his
word a. he does his bond. Aid, but
never beg. Help others when you
can, but never give what you cannot
afford to, simply because it is fashion
able. Learn to say "no." No neces-
sity for swapping it out in dog-fashion,
but say it firmly and respectfully.
Have but few confidants, and the
fewer the better. Use your own brains
rather than those of others. Learn to
think and act for yourself. Be vigil
ant. Keep ahead rather than behind
time.
Young man, cut this out. If there
be folly in the argument, let us
know.

RALLYING THE NATIVES.
THE EX-QUEEN is AT WORK
AMONG THEM.
Saws That She Will Be Voted in Soon
-Spreckels to Build Her
New Palace.

The news brought this paper the
other day about the appearance of the
ex.Queen among the natives at South
and Queen streets has been confirmed
She spent two days, or the better part
of them, in that neighborhood con-
suting and conniving with her former
subjects and telling them that she was
certain to be restored in short time
through the forms of a popular vote.
A well-known society lady at Homo
lulu, who does good deal of religious
and charitable work among the natives,
called at the STAR office today to tell
what she had heard under the same
head. Her report is that the ex sover-
eign is particularly busy among the
members of Kawaiahao church, telling
them to get ready to put her back on
the throne by unanimous verdict at
the polls. Much of her canvassing is
done after dark.
Yesterday there was an unusual num-
Der of callers at the ex Queens house,
where they seem to have been hidden
to conference
The natives report that her ex.
Majesty is highly incensed at the com
ing ball at the Palace. She says the
building has now been so much "dese.
Grated" that she will never consent tc
put her royal foot within its precinct:
again. Claus Spreckels, she states, has
promised to build her fresh palace a;
soon as ''the great day comes, with the
blowing of the trumpets and the bang
ing of the drums" Then there will bt
high old times.
To show how credulous the Royalist:
are, it may be added that member O
the bounced Cabinet went all the way
to Waikiki yesterday to tell frienc
that the ex-Queen was certain to be
restored within week, or within g
month at the farthest. He was salts
| fed that the next mail would bring the
orders to the Admiral to hold sort O
military Plebiscite -off hand, as it were
and as a means of putting Mrs. Dom
inis back on the salary list at the droI

FIGHTING FOR THE PROCEEDS.
Litigation Still Going on Over the
"Holomua" Plant.

After the sale of the Hoiomna plant
by the Marshal last week, which
realized $I2S, the Marshal paid the
execution of Paahao amounting
to the sum of sos sc, and also an
execution in favor of Kanio for
$3S 10, leaving balance in his hands
of $40 IA. The second execution was
handed to the Marshal short time
previous to the sale. The Marshal
also received from G. c. Kenyon on
the morning Of the sale written order
directing him to pay an excess OF the
proceeds of the sale after satisfying the
the Paahao judgment, to Ed. Norrie,
which he ignored. ]. E. Poepoe has
now brought suit to recover $5I 40
from G.. c. Kenyon, trustee, and Mar
shall Hitchcock as garnishee, and Judge
Robertson has a pretty legal knot to
untangle. w. R. Castle appears fol-
the Marshals office, and the case will
be tried on Monday afternoon.

The ex.Royal crockery will not be

truck will.
Andrew Brown has been added to

The dance programs are being pre-
pared and will be as handsome as can
be gotten out here.
The water tanks in the Executive
building will have $25 worth of noun.
tain dew in their coppers.
Credulous natives say the ex.Queen
means to drive into the Palace yard
and blast the desecrating jewellers with
her royal scorn.
Applications for invitations to the
ball have been pouring in on the com.
mittee to day and two clerks have
been kept busy making them out.
