The tune of ''Ya nkee Doodle" has had
seven or eight treatises written upon it
in the last 80 years, ascribing it to vari-
Gus dates and origins, even back to The
Netherlands and the days of Cromwell
and the Charleses. Dr.. George Grove of
London, author of the Dictionary Of
Music and Musicians" has investigated
thoroughly the various musical libraries
and the British museum in England,
finding no traces of it whatever, thus ex-
plOding all the mystical, traditional and
apochryphal accounts thereof.
But Yankee Doodle" had an origin
and has history. 1t was written by
DR.. Richard SchUchburg, whose COM
mission dates 1887, in the French and
Indian war of 1915 under General JEFF
frey Amherst and was intended as a
take off" on the rag, tag and bobtail"
recruits of the colonies that came into
the army. 1t took so well, however,
that the Americans have ever adopted it
and would not part with it for anything
The first words,
Father and went down to camp.
were in the Boston Journal in 1868, and
the first record of the tune is in Arnold's
1.-TWO to One" 1880, so that Yankee
Doodle" although written by British
surgeon, is really Boston

r,, C.trnn Ancient Times.

The cat was so very highly regarded
England at one time, both as rat az
E mouse catcher, and 49,, - So C O.
l,;a+,- ~. -----'iiCes LOT OF -
acllitatirnlat we find the following salu-
tary law passed by one of the princes
of Wales:
eff any one steal or kill Cat that
guards the Princes Creamery, he is to
forfeit mich Eve, its Fleece and
Lamb. Or, as much Wheat as, when
poured upon the cat suspended from its
tail, with the head touching the floor,
would form a heap high enought TO cover
the tip of the former"
Though the Welsh had a high opinion
of the cat, the ancient Egyptians had
still higher. These intelligent and civ
ilized people treated cats with great dis
tinctiOn. 1t was crime to kill them,
and when they died they received pub
lie burial, at which the people mourned,
having first shaved OF their eyebrows as
a token of sorrow. The most prominent
cats were upon death emhalmed in drugs
and spices, ana cat mummieS have been
found side by side with those of kings.
When Cambyses, the Persian, attacked
the Egyptian city of Pelusis, he cunning
ly provided his soldiers with cats in
stead of shields. When the host ad-
vanced, the Egyptians retired in confu-
sion upon discovering that they would be
unable to do damage to their enemy
without seriously imperiling the lives of
vast numbers of cats. And so the city
was taken easily and without the loss of
blood or of cat. 1t cannot be disputed
that the ancient Egyptian cats must have
enjoyed life very much.-St. Louis Post

Economy In Foot Wear.

The neatest and most economical pos
slble foot wear is a low cut shoe of a
special pattern to be worn with CATERS
to match each dress. This style of foot
clothing has many advantages. The low
shoe is easily aired, and the inner sole
viii retain the odors of the feet with the
neatest Of persons if not properly aired,
especially when one walks much. The
gaiter breaks the apparent size of a large
foot and forms a very attractive finish
when matched to costumes.
Skirts rubbing against the front Of
high kid boots will wear the seam, while
the lower part remains in perfect condi-
ton. Caters, upon the other hand, can
be changed rs soon as deface3 and worn
with the same boot. Many pretty CATERS
are possible for different occasions and
styles Of dress.-Jenness Miller Monthly.

CAPTAIN McDOWELL'S PREPAP

Two or three days more andHono-
lulu will witness the greatest marine
feat, if successful, ever performed
here. Captain Arthur Mcdowell
stated last night that he will at
tempt to float the Miowera next
Thursday or Friday.
Two of the completed Samson
posts were taken to the stranded
steamer yesterday and were sta
toned in upright positions along
side the vessel. Two more posts
were finished last night and will
be towed out by the naphtha launch
this morning. Mr.. Mcdowell says
that he will need but two more
posts, making total of six. He
will procure this morning two more
of the largest spars that can be
found here.
Mcdowell had his men out K
the vessel last night putting up tn
posts and placing 1g-inch chain
under the keel of the vessel. If h
gets all his posts in position today
he will attempt to lift TIE NJ Msef 4
in.o 49, ~ improvements 2,7GIMera
d1tlons. bot 4v~ position, otherwise
he will postpone that operation I'M
til tomorrow. His intention is to
bring the Miowera on an even keel
so as to render the work of floating
her more easy.
81 am going to succeed; that l
am confident of. If this fine whe-
ther continues she is going to come
off that reef" said the contractor
last night. THE work of preparing
the materials has taken longer
time than l thought for, but never
mind, she will have to come off be-
fore my time is up, which is next
Saturday evening.
Mr.. Mcdowell further said that
he has made arrangements with
the Honolulu iron works for the
casting of some heavy iron blocks,
and he is to get the reply this
morning as to whether they could
be ready by next Thursday. If
they can be made in time he will
use them, otherwise he will be COM
PEELED to resort to other sources.
The apparatus for lifting the
Miowera consists of six Samson
posts and two spars placed four on
each side of the vessel. Heavy
blocks and chains are to be at
tached to the top of the posts,
which will be placed in an in
Ginning position. The lifting is to
be done by four wire cables attached
to the steam winches, windlasses
and capstans On board the steamer.
AS soon as the Miowera is raised
two and a half feet from the bot
tom, two island steamers or the
japanese steamer Mike Maru, if
the latter can be procured for a
reasonable sum, will tow the
stranded steamer by the bow.
Mcdowell is certain that if she
comes up that distance, nothing
will prevent her coming off. The
posts and spars have an immense
lifting strength =; in fact, the steamer
could be held out of the water by
them with sufficient purchases to
hold her.
