SCREEN OF TEA CHEST MATING.

SCREEN OF TEA CHEST MATING.
ploy your leisure time and do little
work yourself Bamboo frames and
wooden frames are offered by every deal
er, and as the panels can be easily fitted
expense need be little more than they
cost. Or, if you care to undertake the
task, your carpenter will make pine
frames for even less money, and you can
cover them and attach the hinges your
self.
For the former sort the materials that
can be utilized are almost too numerous
to mention-linen, silk, denim and a
host of other low priced fabrics. For the
latter there are also linen and denim
and the excellent tea chest mating as
we'll.
The pine frames that require to be en-
tirely covered call for something serv-
iceable, and nothing is at once better
and simpler than the tea chest mating,
which costs nothing at all. It is used to
wrap around mating Of finer sorts, and
the dealers are always glad to give it
away. If you care to obtain some and
try the experiment. order four thin
frames of three inch pine strips in any
size you prefer. Then cover each neatly,
with the mating turned over to the un-
der side, and line it with ordinary cot
ton flannel. Buy four good brass hinges
and screw them on and finish all the
outer edges Of the panels with orna
mental brass nails, and when all the
mechanical work is done paint your de-
sign. The New York Herald, authority
for the foregoing, advises if the screen
is for the dining room fruit, such as a
branch Of growing oranges or red apples
hanging from the bough, will be excel
lent. If for the sitting room or drawing
room, some brilliant floral subject will
be good. So long as you choose subject
with good rich color all will be sure to
go we'll. The mating makes perfect
background and shows up over the sim
plest design with marvellous success.

He Blew Policeman's Whistle In the
Pulpit.
. An extraordinary lunacy case has lately
been attracting much attention in Lou
don. 1t originated in demand made by
the Rev. Clement Tollemache and Captain
Anastasius Tolle1nache that an investiga-
ton should be made into the mental con-
dition of their brother, the Rev. Augustus
Tollemache, vicar of Whitwick, in Leices-

Mr.: Tollemache is a bachelor about 81
years of age and has held the Whitwick
living for II years. Twelve months ago
he began to show signs of eccentricity. He
had a policeman s whistle and used to blow
it during service in church. On April 10,
when the bishop of Peterborough arrived
to perform the ceremony of confirmation,
Tollemache was found sitting among the
girl candidates and refused to leave them.
Throughout the service he held an UNI

toward the bishop~''to keep off the evil

large ring. He wore it on his thumb and
usually held it up in front Of him for guild

THE GOOD ROADS CRUSADE.
Indications That New York Will Son r,
Out of the Mud. Ss3ss


The reproac'l Of having the worst
public roads Of any country claiming
civilization may perhaps soon be lifted
from the land. There is, at any rate.
good prospects now that the Empire
State will soon repudiate the reputati On.
The movement for ttgood roads, has re-.
ceived a great impetus throughout the
state during the past few weeks. A de-
cided change Of heart and front has come
about in the quarters most influential to
the accomplis of the objects sought
in the good roads crusade, and New
York will soon step to the front rank
among the Is states that have taken up
the matter of better road construction.
The great difficulty in the way has
been the finding of a good system to SUI
persede the old and inadequate ''labor
SYSTEM" dating back from colonial
times, under which the taxes for road
maintenance may be paid in work on
the roads. There has been and still is o
wide difference of opinion among those
thoroughly convinced Of the necessity of
radical change as to the best method
of efecting it. The "county road law
recently passed by the Legislature has
lately won many supporters, although
for some time there was great opposition
to it's adoption. 1t has an especial pro-
vision requiring all road taxes to be paid
in money, and this provision is attract
ing support for the law.
The Farmers club of central New
York, an important and influential or
ganization, adopted resolutions recently
strongly favoring the money system and
warmly indorsing the county road law
as "a hopeful effort toward universally
good roads. - The club estimates that the
loss from the use Of the present roads
throughout the state amounts to IS, 000,-
900 annually in the haulage Of crops
alone, besides loss in failure to take
prompt advantage of markets, loss in
vehicles, harness and animals, and loss
in comfort, health and decency. The
matter of road improvement was de-
clared to be 1.-THE one great state ques.
ton bearing on agricultural prosperity"
The New York state grange, which
represents some sc, 900 FARMERS through
out the state, adopted resolutions at it's
recent session in Utica strongly con-
demning the present system and indors-
ing a system of state roads, ''provided
the personal property of the state is
made to bear it's proportionate part of
the taxation necessary for such roads. -
The plan of paying road taxes in money,
just as other taxes are paid, was strong
ly Endorsed. A permanent committee
was appointed to keep close watch on the
progress of the good roads movement
and to suggest to the grange appropriate
legislation to be urged at Albany.
Altogether the prospects for good pub
lie highways throughout the state were
never brighter than at present.

THE INSANE ASYLUM.

The appointment of a superin-
tendent to this institution is an i'm
portant one, which demands care
full consideration before action is
taken. The appointment under
the constitution comes through the
head of the Health Bureau with
the sanction of the Minister of
Interior; but a large discretion
rests with the President of the
Board of Health, who is allowed to
consult and in a degree to be
governed by the suggestions and
recommendations of the committee
of physicians appointed by the
Board.
In the present case the position
is a most desirable one, in fact
what might properly be called a
sort of sinecure, and the result has
been the Board of Health has re-
ceived a flood of applications for
the position. 1t is perhaps need
less to say that most of the appli-
cants are unfit for the position, and,
perhaps, if duty is strictly followed
and the needs of the institution
filled to the letter none of those
thus far applying will be found
available for the position.
The present incumbent has fill
ed the position to the satisfaction
of the board of physicians and the
President of the Board of Health,
but so long as he refuses to take
the oath, required by the consti-
tuition, to support the Government
he is unavailable, even though
desirable on his past record as a
faithful and reliable official. While,
the new appointee to the position
should not have less adaptability
therefor than Mr.. Aud, he should
perhaps have somewhat more of
executive and business ability,
and should in any event be family
man. This point is important and
should not be overlooked.
No matter whom the Board of
Health decides upon for the posi-
ton great caution should be used,
and it would perhaps be as we'll to
make a temporary appointment
subject to the approval of the COM
mittee of physicians. A little
delay in making the appointment
will not matter as Mr.. Aud is
understood to be willing to fill the
position until his permanent
successor is decided upon. This
is certainly one of the cases
where politics should cut no
figure further than insisting that
the appointee be a supporter of
the Republic of Hawaii.

IT is quite unnecessary for the
Bulletin to emphasize to the Homo
lulu public the fact that that journ-
al and its editor are thoroughly
anti-American. Our egotistical
contemporary is also mistaken in
thinking the STAR wanted the
Bulletins opinion on the recogni-
ton of the Reptile of Hawaii by
the United States. Neither the
STAR nor the Americans in Hawaii
care what the opinion of the BnAe-
tin is, or has been, affecting Amer
lean interests and action here. The

ances during the coming year, as

as the political protest of a clique

THE case reported to-day in
which a Captain of the Police
Force is accused of shooting at a
dog near the Hawaiian Hotel last
night should be officially investi-
gated. If the facts as alleged are
found to be true, the officer should
be dismissed from the force at
once. No man should be allowed
to discharge a revolver, under
the guise Of the law, in the public
streets, except in cases of extreme
necessity. An example is needed
at this point, and it is needed at
once.
