In order to be eligible to vote for
Senators, a person must possess all the
qualifications and be subject to all the
conditions required by this COnsritu-
ton of voters for Representatives,
and, in addition thereto, he shall own
and be possessed in his own right, of
property in the Republic of the value
of not less than three thousand dollars
over and above all encumbrances; or
shall have actually received money
income of not less than nine hundred
dollars during the year next preced-
ing the Fl st day of April next preced
ing the date of each registration; for
the proof of which he may be required
10 produce original accounts of the
receipt of such income.
Delegate Vivas moved to change
$1,000 to $1,000, and $500 income to
5000.
Delegate Kahaulelio moved it be an
Income of 500 or $1,000 property.
Many educated Hawaiians would
have the property required in this sec
ton
Delegate Kalua favored reduction of
the property qualification to 5000 and
income to $500. 1t would be an in
du ement to great many persons to
earn $500 year, instead of standing
around the street corners talking
about it.

Only Chalk.

The father of the faraous Sir Robert Peel
was cotton spinner in comparatively
small way until he suddenly went straight
ahead of all his competitors. The earliest
cotton spinning machinery gave serious
trouble through f1laments of cotton adher-
ing to the bobbins thus involving frequent
stoppages to clear the machinery. The
wages of the operatives were affected by
these delays, but it was noticed that one
man in the works always drew full pay.
His loom never stopped.
''The onlooker tells me your boboins are
always Clean" said Mr.. Peel to him one
day.
"Aye, they be-" said the man, whose
name was Dick Ferguson.
"How do you manage it, Dick?"
"Why, you see, Mester Peel, it's sort o.
secret! If towd yo', yo'd be as wise as I
am"
"That's So" said Peel, smiling in re-
sponse to Dicks knowing chuckle. "I'd
give you something to know. Could you
make all the looms work as smoothly as
yours?"
"Ivery one of 'em, mesterw
"Well, what shall give you for your
secret, Dick?'
The man smiled and rubbed his chin.
"Well, Dick, what is it to be?"
"Come, I'll tell thee" was the reply.
"Gi' me quart of ale livery day as Pm in
the mills, and I'll tell thee all about it,"
"Agreed," said the master.
"Well, then" returned Dick, beckoning
Mr.. Peel to come closer and let him whis-
per in his ear, "chalk your bobbins!"
That was the entire secret. Machinery
was soon invented for chalking the bob
bins, and Dick Ferguson was given PEN
sion equal to many daily quarts of beer

Really there is nothing new under the
sun. Even the doctrine of woman's rights
is not at all nineteenth century idea, as
the reformers would have it appear. Two
centuries ago there lived the woman who
was the first advocate of woman's rights.
This good lady's name was Mrs. Mary AS
tell and she published her theories in
little book called GA Serious Proposal to
the Ladies For the Advancement of Their
True and Greatest Interest by n Lover of
Her Sex"
This book was printed in 1894, and there
in the good lady implores women mot to
be content to be in the world like tulips in
garden, to make a fine show and be good
for nothing" She also says that women
value men too much and themselves too
little, and that they "should be capable of
nobler things than the pitiful conquest Of
some poor human heart, for woman
should always remember that she has no
mighty obligation to the man who makes
love to her, she has no reason to be fond
of being a wife or to reckon it price %
of preferment when she is taken to be a
mans upper servant" Ye gods and little
fishes, to think that radical sentiment was
written 200 years ago! And what glori-
ous woman's club president Dame Astell
would have made if she were alive todayl
And still the foolish mind of woman seems
ever bept on 1.-THE Pftiful conquest of some
poor human heart for which the gods
be thanked, else how would there be any
woman born to prate and prattle of the
rights of their seX?-New York Sun.

A ship regularly engaged in deep sea
sounding usually has the sounding ma
chine mounted at the after end, and when
about to sound is brought to a standstill
with the stern to the sea. The stray line,
with the sounding rod and sinker attached,
is passed over the guide pulley and careful
ly lowered to the waters edge, the register
is set to zero, and the deep sea thermometer
is clamped to the sounding line. A sea-
man is stationed at the friction line which
controls the velocity with which the wire
is unreeled, another at the brake and a
third on the grating outside to handle the
sinker and instruments and to guide the
wire as it passes overheard. A machinist
is at the hoisting engine, and the recorder
takes a position for reading the register.
When the sinker is let go, the vessel is ma
neuvered so as to keep the wire vertical,
and the friction line is adjusted SO as to
allow it to descend from 20 to 100 fathoms
per minute. The instant the sinker strikes
the bottom, which is unmistakably indi-
Gated by the sudden release of the wire
from strain, the reel is stopped by the fric-
tion line and brake. The recorder notes
the number of turns of the reel. In an
hour this messenger of mans ingenuity
makes its excursion through five miles of
watery waste to the abysmal regions of
perfect repose.-Popular Science Monthly.

Teaching Children.

The new system of education by which
a child's interest is sustained and his am
bition awakened has, together with its
many obvious advantages, very real dan
gers, which the old dry as dust methods
were at least free from. However wearl-
some task under the old regime, there
was certainly no danger of overstimula-
ton or undue tension of the brain. In these
days of high pressure, when every possible
effort is made to excite intelligent interest
in the pupil, it is only too easy by the so
called successful methods of the day to
produce kind of mental excitement which
is extremely hurtful both mentally and
physically. Fancy u mother of the period
actually saying in good faith, in speaking
of well known teacher: "Miss Y. is won
derfully successful with her scholars.
They simply love their work, and their
progress is something extraordinary.
When remember how used to hate study
when l was a child, l cannot sufficiently
admire the present methods Why, my
Elsie thinks of nothing but lessons, and
she gets so excited over her books that she
is unable to sleep, and 1 have to give her
phenacetine to quiet her. "-St. Louis

A professional nurse of many years. ex-
perience tells Inc that she finds more ba-
bies suffering from insufficient clothing
among the rich than among the poor.
For example, uhe was summoned by a
physician to a wealthy family where the
5-months-old baby was suffering from some
mysterious trouble that baffied everybody.
He could live only few days, the doctor
said, if somathing was not done. He could
keep nothing on his stomach and was
slowly starving to death. The nurse found
a distracted mother and q pinched and
moaning baby. His flesh was blue, and
there was q settled look of anguish on his
face. The nurse picked him up from the
silk and lace of his costly crib and found
just what she expected-dress and skirts
of linen as fine as gossamer and about as
warm, shirts and socks like lace, flannel
skirts of the regulation number, but SO
fine and thin as to give little warmth.
"Is this the way you have dressed your
baby from the first?' asked the nurse.
"Oh, yes, I've always had the best of ev-
erything for him." answered the mother.
;'Wel, IUs no wonder he is sick. He
hasn't enough on to keep fly warm in
July" The nurse called for the thickest
blanket in the house and hot water bag
and sent the dstonished mother down town
for the warmest flannel wrappers, however
ugly they might be. The result was that
in a few days the child was taking his food
perfectly and was thriving as we'll as could
be edesired.-Babyhood

Girls, you don It want n man who is afraid
of good, honest work, and there are lots of
them who are. You don't want to have to
spend the very best of your youth in liv-
ing to reform man or shield him, so that
you will not become a claimant for the
pity of your friends. You don't want a
man who is stingy, and what girl with two
grains of sense is not sharp enough to dis
cover this trait in the lovers? Neither do
you want IL spendthrift. You don't want
jealous husband, for he is about as dam
gerous to live with as lunatic. You don't
want a dandy, who curls his hair, has his
nails manicured and uses a face bleach,
and you wouldn't believe how many such
specimens are floating around in good So
ciety. You want whole soulcd, lovable
gentleman. He must-now take out your
memorandum book-be courteous to the
aged and kind to the little folks, the sort
of fellow who knows that Il girl loves
flowers and sweetmeats, but who is not
such Il fool that he would pawn his over
coat to get them-the kind of a chap who
disdains to fall into rhapsodies over every
pretty woman he meets, who realizes that
life is not Il joke but who in his serious
ness is never depressing. He must be
gentle, sympathetic, honorable, just, with
enough romance about his makeup to save
him from being prosaic, and, above all, he
must he so situated in life that he can at
tempt the role of homemaker without fear
of being a dismal failure. Where will such
paragon be found? Keep your eyes wide
open. If you do not meet him, take my
advice and join the sisters who prefer sim
gle bliss to welded etchedness.-Phila-

MONEY IN CHEAP NOVELS.
How Some New York Dealers Eat Their
Cake and Have Il Too.

Cake and Have II Too.
There are good profits to be made by
dealing in secondhand Looks in city like
New York, and one dealer has found out
how to ''eat his cake and have it, too,"
which careful mothers tell their children
cannot be done. lis dealer, with an eye
to the pennies, will take a paper covered
novel, published at so cents, but which he
has bought for 80, and sell it for 35 cents,
with the understanding chat the buyer is
to return it when read. When the book
comes back, he pays 90 cents for it and
puts it up for sale again at 80 cents. The
second buyer returns the book and receives
Is cents, and for third time the book is
on the shelves, this time marked 90 cents.
Again it comes back, the reader takes 10
cents, and the book if by careful patching
it can be kept in decent condition, will
change owners half a dozen times, leaving
TO the dealer profit of nickel every time
it comes to the store. Books have often,
through careful handling, paid 200 per
cent on the original investment, and at
the end found their way back to the shelves
of the dealer, who has the profits and the
book
Another system then comes into play.
Books will be sold on the 1.-TWO for one"
plan. IN UnlS Scneme Duyer Will take
two books at, say, 90 cents each, paying 40
cents III cash. When these have been read,
they are returnable, and the dealer will
give any 20 cent book in the place for the
two brought back. When the 20 cent book
is returned, 10 cent volume may be taken
in exchange, and when this last comes
back a nickel and the book will bring out
another 10 cent book. This process may
be kept up as long as the buyer sees fit.
The thrifty dealer is always ready for
trade.
Of course it sometimes happens that
buyer in the first instance will keep the
book, but as the store caters to a class of
customers who can hardly be termed col
lectors, but who like highly seasoned liter
ature, the chance of diminution of prof
it's in this way is exceedingly slight.
An idea of the magnitude of this out of
the way branch of trade may be gathered
from the fact that on the shelves of one of
the two "stores" run by this enterprising
tradesman are no less than 5000 paper COW
cred novels, and in addition to this they
are piled away in corners, stacked against
the walls, and one room in the rear of the
place is practically given over to them for
a repair shop.-New York Tribune.

The Earlv Use of Petroleum,

From a diary kept by one of the survey
ors it appears that the first use of petroleum
as remedy in this country occurred in
the neigh borhood of the head waters of the
Allegheny, in the western part of New
York, about the beginning of the present
century. As the oil flowed from spring
it accumulated on the surface of shallow
pools, and its medicinal properties were
first recognized by the Indians in that sec
ton of the country. This oil, which was
then known as "Seneca oil, was collected
and dried in the sun, and in addition to
its medicinal use it was also employed fort
mixing the warpaint for the tribe. As an
evidence of the correctness of this histor-
ical fragment it is said that there is still a
section of the country known as Oil Spring
reservation, this location, or plot of
ground, having been given to the Indians.

"Friends are discovered rather than
made" wrote Harriet Beecher Stowe many
years ago. "There are people who are in
their own nature friends, only they don't
know each other, but certain things, like
poetry, music and painting, are like the
Freemason's sign-they reveal the initial
ed to each other.' Emerson expresses
somewhat the same sentiment when he
declares, with conviction one wishes had
a more obvious foundation in fact, that we
meet those people in life of whom we have
need

Those ships of the United States navy
that do not use the electric light are still
lighted with lard oil, which thicilens to
the consistency of very stiff molasses in
cold weather and has other inconvenient
habits. The powers that be have always
pronounced any other oil unsafe for mov-
ing ships.

In the very middle of the Atlantic ocean,
at about the place where the twenty-fifth
meridian from London crosses the equator,
there is a spot, far beneath the waves,
which is almost continually agitated by
submarine earthquake shocks. These are
often of such violence as to hurl great col
umns of water high in air or to make
waves that are standing menace to ves-
sells coming in that vicinity.-St. Louis

Picking Out a Husband-"A Serious Pro-
posal to Ladies" the Babies
warm-A Gould Baby's Bassinet-Teach-
1.-THE ideal exercise for women who
haven't time for gymnasiums?" The doc
tor repeated the question thoughtfully.
Then she smiled. "Housework is not a
bad substitute, - said she. "Arms and legs
are exercised in sweeping; the muscles of
the back are strengthened by the slight
bending and rising in bedmaking; the
chest is expanded by the broadening mo-
tion of the arms in dusting. And, as the
windows should all be wide open in the
bedrooms and rooms where cleaning is in
progress, the worker has plenty of fresh air.
Yes, housework is an excellent exercise.
OF course there are women who haven't
time for either gymnasiums or housework
women who sit at desks all day or over
typewriters or sewing machines, women
who stand in stores and work in factories.
There are great many of them. l wish
they could be made to know the value of
walking. Of course that will not develop
their arms or necessarily expand their
chests. But walking and drawing in deep,
long breaths, expelling the air slowly after
each inspiration, will do more for their
lungs and chests than quarts of oil and
mustard plasters galore. 1t will give them
appetites for dinner; it will invigorate and
strengthen them; it will help to render
them impervious to cold; it is absolutely
necessary for the preservation of their
health to walk briskly, with shoulders
well thrown back and head erect, after
their long days imprisonment.
"For something which will develop all
the muscles-well, the evening walk plus
the morning swinging of dumbbells or In
dian clubs will be enough. An exercise
which seems to take some of the stiffness
out of the body is this: Just before one
gets into bed let her hold her hands, the
fingers touching, as high above her head
as she can. Then let her rise slowly on
her toes to the greatest possible height, and
then bend forward from the waist, not
moving the knees, to see how nearly she
can touch the floor with her hands as she
swings them forward. Arms, legs, chest
and back all get some slight exercise from
this, and that detestable aged feeling
which creeps on after the days work is
banished. Sometimes ones muscles seem
stiffened. That means the beginning of
decrepitude. Keep them Timber That's
the secret of eternal youth. New York
